RIVERMES DEFIANT.
The Channel Span Must be Built During the
Dry Season.

The Channel Span Must be Built During the
Dry Season.
The coal operators have not yet received
from Drake & Stratton, the contractors for
the Brunot Island bridge, any information
as to their intentions in regard to the partial
closing of the channel. One of the largest
coal operators said yesterday:
1.-THE contractors propose to narrow the
500-foot channel to $50 feet That would
be practically blockade. We have em-
phatically refused to accede to such pro-
posal. Reports of this matter have been
published in other papers. They are partly
ridiculous and partly the result OF ignor-
ance. 1t was proposed by the contractors to
make this contraction in November. At
that time of the year we are almost abso-
lutely sure of a heavy rise in the river.
The rise may be so heavy that it will wash
away the temporary structures at the bridge,
as it did at Cincinnati some time ago. The
contractors should have done this work on
the channel span during July and August,
the season of low water. They claim that
they have done everything possible to COM
plete the work at that stage. They have
not done it. That is the cold TACT. Now we
insist that they go ahead with the other
parts OF the bridge, and complete this chan
mel span during the dry season next year.
If they insist on narrowing the channel as
they threaten, we will appeal to the Secre-
tary of War"

PECULIAR TO B0ATMEN.
DIR. Darlington Says They Haven't Much No
tion of Time.


There are men who remember days and
weeks with the greatest accuracy, and others
who appear to have no idea whatever of the
lapse OF time. Between these extremes
there are all grades of time memorizing.
These peculiarities, as rule, pertain to in
dividuals, but DR.. Darlington, the surgeon
of the Marine Hospital Service, tells from
his experience of a class who appear to be
deficient in correct recollection of the pass
age of Father Time athwart their lives.
He SAYS: 81 find that steamboatmen, as
a class, cannot judge of past time at all. L
have rivermeH coming to see me for treat
ment who will say: I was here two or
three weeks ago. 1 ask them if it was two
or three weeks, which. it seems to me, any
person ought to recollect 1 find that they
cannot say with any deiniteness whatever.
am reminded of this fact by man who
came to me last week. He said, however,
that he was pretty sure it was not more than
three weeks. When looked up my books
/ found that it was four months. This is
only sample, but it illustrates the idea.
Why steamboatmen are so deficient in their
mott ons of the passage of time 1 cannot tell.
1 think it is only carelessness on their part.
Their life is humdrum, and they count only
the passage of time by trips"

MARTIN VICTORIOUS.
Judge Stowe Decides, FavOring Milk
Shake and Mr.. Kaercher
ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS.
The Pennsylvania Must Pay $3.50 for
Charging 10 Cents Extra,
OTHER INTERESTING COURT ITEMS

Judge Stowe yesterday handed down
opinions in eight appealed cases of John A.
Martin and A. j. Kearcher from the de-
cisions OF Alderman Carlisle, hning them
SIS and costs in each case ior selling milk
and soda water on Sunday. Four of the
cases were Martins and four Kearcher's. 1t
will be remembered that by an amicable
arrangement the suits were entered to shut
out the Law and Order Society from the
fines. In all of them the point was taken
by Martin and Kearcher that judgment had
been given by other Aldermen before
Alderman Carlisle fined them. In several of
the cases Martin had been acquitted before
Magistrate McKenna. Kearcher had paid
fines previously to Alderman Tatem, of Allie
gheny.
Judge Stowe, in his opinion, said that the
question of selling milk on Sunday being
violation of the law under the act OF l794 haY-
ing already been decided the only question at
issue was that of a first Judgment barring
second action for the same onense. In the
cases of Martin before Magistrate McKenna,
wherein Martin was acquitted, he said that the
allegations of fraud and colluSion on the part
of Martin to obtain his acquittal were not
made apparent, and such an allegation must De
established by satisfactory evidence. 1t was
his opinion that the magistrate erred in his de-
cision; that he should have convicted, but that
is not evidence of fraud. His Honor quoted
from the Constitution: mo person shall for
the same offense be twice put in jeopardy of
life or limb" and added that this Is said to be
nothing more than a Constitutional asservation
of a common law maxim. 1t is an insurmount-
able bar to a second prosecution, he held when
there has once been verdict Of acQuittal or
conviction upon a proper indictment, which
was the state of affairs in these cases. The
first judgment, he added, when given ex-
tinguishes the original cause of action. Judg-
ment was ordered to be entered In favor of
Martin and hearcher.

miles than by any existing line of travel.

TAX LISTS UPSET.
Assessments Will be Rectifed TO Agree

Assessments Will be Rectified TO Agree
With the Decision.
A few days since a note was made that
the Court had decided in the case Of the ap-
peal of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charles
ton Railway Company from the valuation
OF the Board of City Assessors, that the
section of the new charter making it man
datory on the Assessors to value property
at least as high rate as the price paid at
the last recorded sale, is unconstitutional
Assessor Hoerr states that be always ex-
pected such a decision, and SAYS that
assessments will be rectifed in accordance
with the Courts decision. He also stated
that he was opposed to working on the
principle noted in the charter act, that an
isolated sale or even several should be taken
as basis for valuation, though a consider
able number of such sales might. The re-
vision of assessments will be made, as the
idea is to secure uniformity. Mr.. Hoerr
states, however, that it will not be so much
of task as most people think, as the
Assessors have already heard the names of
nearly all the kickers in the city.
