MACADAM ROADS In VIEW.
Coraopolis Coming to the Front With
Signs of Real Progress.

Coraopolis Coming to the Front With
Signs of Real Progress.
Some of the people of Coraopolis want to
get out of the mud. The development ol
the past few months has made the streets Of
the borough 50 bad that they are next to i'm
passable, "not even jackassible," and some
wideawake citizens have come to the con-
clusion that if there is to be any further
progress there must be roads built, and
though work has not been begun, the main
difficulty has been overcome-the deter
mination has been formed.
As a beginning, what has been known as
the Pittsburg and Phillipsburg road, which
runs through the entire borough and Mill
street. will be macadamized. The cost may
reach 5000, and bonds will be issued to
pay for the work. 1t is said some tax
payers who have hitherto squirmed at the
bare idea of the expense until they became
so crooked they could not lie still in bed,
have at last become so far reconciled, when
its advantages have been fully explained,
that they are gradually growing straight
again. 1t must be done if the place is to
continue to grow.
The antiquated plan of piling mud on the
roads may continue to satisfy rural COM
munity whose members think it no sin to
pay road taxes by soldering" few days
each year on them and calling it work, but
it won't answer in wide-awake village
which Coraopolis begins to promise to be, at
some time or other.

Other Nice Law interpretations by the su-
preme Court.
In the case Of John Spencer ct al against
John Jennings, the Supreme Court has
settled the question of jurisdiction over
private sales and mortgages between Butler
and Allegheny counties. The decision is Of
immense interest, because it will upset in.
Vulnerable titles to property acquired by
private sales under the act of 1858.
In another Supreme Court opinion W hich
arrived in the city yesterday from Philadel-
phia, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has secured victory over the borough of
Williamsburg in the matter of the vacation
of a portion Of public road in what was
Sterrett township.
The Supreme Court, in the case of Mar

damages from a railroad company the
plaintiff must show that there was no con-

INTERESTING RAILROAD DECISIONS

In view of the recent Law and Orde
ion delivered in the case of Crawley ct al
VS. the Commonwealth, by Justice Sterritt
of the Supreme Court of the State, may be
of interest. In this case it was claimed
that the judgments obtained against Craw-
ley in the lower court we're for violations
of the provisions OF the Act Of
February 26, 1856, relating to the
sale of liquors, while the Crawleys'
license was issued in pursuance of the
act of April 8, 1872, which repealed all laws
and parts of laws in force relative to the
sale of vinous, spirituous, malt or brewed
liquors, or any admixture thereof in said
county" The opinion first quotes from the
opinion delivered by the Court in the case
of Sanders versus Commonwealth, as fol-
lows:
The effect of the third section OF that act
[Act of May ID, 1857 is to permit the granting
of licenses under former laws to the 3Oth OF
June, 1887. This necessarily keeps in full force
all the provisions and penalties connected with
the granting of such licenses, not only up to the
time aforesaid but until the expiration of such
license. 1t would be curious legal anomaly to
hold that the liquor vender might have his
license under the former act and yet be exempt
from the conditions to which, by the same act,
1t was made subject.
The license in this case was granted before
the passage of the act of 1887, for one year
from February lst of that year. During that
year there was nothing to exempt the license
from the provisions and penalties of the law
under which his license was granted; and, If he
incurred anv penalty, covered by the condition
of his license bond, and had been prosecuted
to judgment for the same, his sureties would
doubtless have been liable in accordance with
the provisions of the law under which the IL
cense was granted. The sum claimed in this
case is the aggregate amount of judgments re-
covered under the provisions Of an act not In
force until after the license was granted.
This decision reverses that Of the lower
court.
