MIR. sIEMERS COMMISSION.
A Hoboken Justices Decision Reversed
On the Hill.

On tine Hill,
At the November term of the Supreme
Court the decision Of Judge Abel |. Smith
of the Hoboken District Court in the case
of Hauser against Siemers was reversed.
The case has been before the courts fol-
the past three years and has excited great
In the early part of 1886 Henry siemers
deputized Gustav Fauser, a real estate
agent in Hoboken, to buy a number OF
lots on Grand street for him, from John
NJ, Board, and Hauser bought the prop
erty in his own name and then resold it
to Siemers.
A number of liens were recorded against
the property at the time of the sale. and
Siemers, who IS q practical economist
signed a peculiar agreement with Hauser.
Hauser was to use his influence to have
the sum of the liens reduced, and thereby
become entitled to the per cent of the
reduction. Hauser pocketed the agree
ment aud tried his best 20 earn his com
mission.
There were many things that conspired
both to aid and defeat his purpose. In
February, 1886, the Legislature passed a
bill, subject to the approval Of the gov
efning bodies, fixing the rate of interest
of liens offered for unpaid taxes or assess
ments at seven per cent. On March 0,
1886, the Hoboken Board Of Council ac-
cepted the provisions of the bill. On
March %, 1886. the bill passed; February
9 was repealed and another bill passed,
which differed from the former bill only
in that it restricted the time for citizens
to avail themselves or its provisions to
one year.
Hauser tried several times to have the
Council agree to accept a less sum than
seven per cent, but his efforts were in
vain.
Councilman Bruggeman had no love
for Hauser, and owing to him no redHc-
ton was made. Siemers finally became
tired of waiting and paid up.
Hauser then claimed that as Siemers
had paid but sever per cent. interest on
the liens instead of ten per cent, he &C
curding to the agreement was entitled to
ten per cent. of the three per cen differ
ence.
Siemers refused to pay and Hauser sued
him and Judge Abel j. Smith gave him d
Judgment for S1l4,24. Counsellor S. A.
Besson appealed the case on q writ of GER
tiorari to the Supreme Court aud after a
thorough review of the testimony the de-
cision was reversed.
The reasons assigned for the action of
the Supreme Court were that the CON
tract was void, as its provisions indirectly
c-ountenanced official corruption, and that
even if the agreement was legal, as at the
time it was signed, the legal rate of inter
est was seven per cent. and consequently
Siemers obtained no reduction. as he paid
that rate and consequently Hauser could
claim no commission.
Hauser is awfully sore, and "Gus'
Bruggemann IS as happy as his recent
election as Director-at Large has left
him room to be.

A Fatal Practical Joke.

Miss Larson was made the victim
Of cruel practical joke at Mime
apolis, Mimi, where she attended a
Halloween party and assisted in
various games. Finally Miss Larson
was told to walk down stairs back

and see the face OF her future hus-
band. She went as directed, and the
company was soon startled by a
shrek from the bottom of the stairs.
Going down, Miss Larson was found
in a swoon-
When she was brought to che was

constantly that she saw the face OF

one of her friends will talk about the
matter, but it is supposed that some
practical joker is responsible for the

Baking Powder Board.

The San Francisco Post charges
that the Board Of Health Of that city
has made an ass of itself in lauding,
in an official capacity, the merits of q
certain Baking Powder. The Post
says:
1.-The board has opened FOR itself
wide field for profit. Dealers in
corn starch, mackerel, Goldfish, soups,
jellies and other articles on which
there is large profit will pay hand
somely for such a testimonial. If
they can recommend baking powder,
why not mess mackeral2 The quar-
tette Of physicians here advertised
ought to know quite as much about
brine as alum"
Perhaps the said board, finding it's
funds running low, thought there
could be no harm in turning an hon.
est penny by recommending an article
which they assert to be absolutely
pure and healthful," and of which
they say: "In our judgment it is i'm
possible to make purer or stronger

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Poor Pennsylvania.

New York Herald.
There has been too much protection
and now there is too much iron. The
tariff gives the iron men complete con
troll of their celebrated home market. and
yet they are unhappy. Mr.. Carnegie is
reported as saying:
1.-The truth is, our country cannot con
sumo the amount of pig iron which it has
the capacity TO produce. The Eastern
drop has been hastened by Southern
competition. You know told the Legis-
lature in my address, that this competi-
tion would soon be felt. 1t has come
sooner than | expected. That the con
sumption of iron and steel Is as great as
it is arises from the fact that
owing to the advance in
prices abroad the American manu-
facturers are left for the first
time in almost complete control of our
home markets. But even under these
conditions the country cannot take the
amount we are prepared to make, and
prices must rule low until number of
| furnaces and mills conclude that it is
better to stop for while than to con
tinue running 1t seems probable
that this will soon occur, for
furnaces cannot afford to pay the prices
demanded for ore and run at the rates
now ruling for pig iron.
Mr.. Carnegie is sad and fearful; but
the Atlanta Constitution is jolly and not
bit afraid. 1t says:
"a new light is thrown on the recent
cut in pig iron made by Mr.. Samuel
Thomas, the iron king of Pennsylvania.
It was first thought that Mr.. Thomas
was beginning an aggressive campaign
to drive the Southern iron mills out oi
the market 1t now appears that Mr.
| Thomas is on the defensive rather thar
the aggressive, The Southern mills have
been selling pig iron in New
York at $3.50 a ton for year
while Mr.. Thomas has been selling
at $18 ton. He has at last been forced
to cut his prices to meet the Southern
iron makers. The cut will drive many
Pennsylvania furnace out of blast, but
it will not shut up furnace in thu

Thomas can no longer hold the title h,

only 175, 900 tons a year while the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Com 3any has al

A Philadelphia banker, travelling in th
South, is quoted by the Chattanoog
Tribune as comparing the cost of pro
ductiOn of iron in the South with that il

hard outlook for our Pennsylvania iroi
men when they have to face such compe

hands and knees with his face away from
the girder. The car was moved by other
employees of the company and witness
was pinned beneath the girder.
He received no notice to get
off Of the car before it was
moved. The witness described the
intense sufferings he had undergone
while the injury was healing and the
permanent disablement it had caused
him.
Dr. James A. Draper, who had attended
the plaintiff, testified to the serious
nature of his injuries.
Mary f. Stewart, the plaintiffs mother

Pyle testified in regard to James A. Nc

of cars at the shops. The latter witnes.

and careful man and had been drunl
while at the shops.
