The Tro ubles OF Gambler Batson In the
City Court.
Henry Batson, colored gambler, was
held in 81, 900 bail last evening for
hearing next Wednesday afternoon at A
O'Clock by Justice Bertolette. Sometime
in June in a case against Howard Rice
aud Benjamin Knox, two other colored
gamblers Batson was the only witness
who testified against them, although
there were number of'other witness put
on the stand, both for the state and de-
fence Immediately after the court was
over these two men sued Batson before
Justice Smith and he was held in 81, 900
bail for court.
The charge on which Batson is now
held was made on the information given
by Benjamin Knox. About August last
Sergeant Black kburn and squad of officers
raided gambling house kept by Batson
at Anderson's Court and Sixth street. and
arresteds several gamblers. Batson es-
capped by jumping out of the window.
The next morning, In the Municipal
Court, all the gamblers testified that the
game was conducted by Batson Batson
left town and remained for awhile. II is
very likely that he would never have
been arraigned on this charge had he moi
testified against Knox and Rice. He il
now confined at the police station.

Then President Harrison had consider

ganization of the Three Americas g
Congress here last week, the foreigners
wanted TO elect Mr.. w, III. Trescott OF
South Carolina one of the U. s. Mem
bers, President, but President Harri-
son objected to it because Mr.. Trescott
was Connected with the late Confederate
government and suggested Mr.. Blaine
who was elected. When these things
are added to the labor of getting things
in shape for his annual message it is
not strange that appointments have
been fewer than usual.
Cousid .rable curiosity is felt here
to know whether President Harrison
will say any thing in his message to
Congress about Civil Service reform.
1t Is generally thought that he will let
the subject entirely alone. The broad.
side that George William Curtis, chief
of the Mugwump claim, poured into
him last week, was enough TO cause
him to be silent on the subject, if he
had not before then made up his mind
TO let it alone

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Among the decisions of the Su-
preme Court fled on Monday at Pitts
burg, was one in the case of Small vs..
Small, from Franklin county The
question involved was whether, under
the Married Womsn's Property Act
of 1887 the wife can sue her husband
directly and in her own name for mon
ey received by him from her separate
estate. The Court answers it in the
negative. The phraseolo gy of the act
upon this point leaves it in some
doubt, and Judge Mitchell says:
"This Court is led TO say now, as i,
has said with marked emphasis here
tofore, that so great a change in the
policy of the law upon a subject that
may come home to every household il
the land should not rest on inference
or implication from general words, but
should appear by the explicit and un
questionable mandate of the Legisla
ture, and when the change is made, i
at all, it should be done in such form
as to guard against the possibility O
injustice in regard TO past transactions.

Tax Collectors Law Unconstitutional

An important opinion was rendered
by Judge Archibald in which he de,
clared the Act of June 25, 1885, pro
viding for the election of tax collectors
in boroughs and townships unconstitut
ional. The case came up on rule to
show cause why the County Commiss-
toner's should not be compelled to Issue
to Thomas j. Jordan of Olyphant.
Mr.. Jordan was elected tax collector
for that borough. He qualified, filed
his bond and took the oath of office.
Then he demanded the duplicate of
county taxes from the County Com
missioners. They refused to deliver it
TO him, claiming that the Act of 1885
was unconstitutional, and he thereup-
on commenced proceedings.-Scranton
