JUST ONE DAY MORE.
The Supreme Court Wasn't Able to
Wind Up Business Yesterday.
GERADE SENTENCED TO BE HANGED
An Artist Who is Accused of Great Lack
of Versatility.
YESTERDAY In THE COUNTY COURTS.

The Superior Court does not often sit on
Saturday; in fact, it is very unusual oc-
currence, but some of the Justices ielt
trihe homesick, and the desire was to clear
up the work Yesterday, so that they could
go home. This desire, however, was not
gratifed, for the reason that there were too
many arguments to be completed IN one
day, and at 2 o'clock Chief Justice Paxson
ordered court adjourned, and the several
Justices retired in order to hold a consulta-
tion about handing down some opinions To-
morrow. Five cases were left over, anu
they will be argued tomorrow, when the
work for the term will be completed.
The first argument yesterday was that OF
Fisher Beatty's appeal from c. P. No. 2,
the Knoxville Land Improvement Com
pany being the appellees, The case grows
out of an indebtedness amounting to Sl92.
Beatty, it appears, secured a judgment IN
court from Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Rankin for
$3.50 81 The Knoxville Land Improve
ment Company brought an action in as
sumsrit against Beatty for rent due, and on
securing Judgment, attached the verdict
money, which was paid into court. Beatty,
on the land company's suit, claimed the
benefit of the $500 exemption act. The Court
disregarded this, and paid the money over
to the land company, hence the appeal.
DAMAGES IN A COLLISION.
The appeal of Henry c. Bunting VS..
Robert Hogsett, from Common Pleas No. 1,
was the next argument heard. The suit
grows out of injuries sustained by the ap-
pellant and his wife in 4 collision at Lamont
furnace, Southwest Penn Railroad, between
passenger train and an engine of the de-
fendant running upon private track. The
allegations are that the view of the track
was hidden by dump heap OF Stag and
cinder, which had been deposited there by
the defendant, and was one of the features
which rendered the accident possible.
Also that the engineer OF the "dinkey"
was ignorant and had been removed
from charge of a stationary engine short
time before the collision. He had no watch
or time card. The jury below returned
verdict of 81, 733 for Mr.. Bunting and $500
| for his wife. The appeal was taken because
of the Judges charge, which is alleged to
have unduly reduced the verdicts of the
jury The case is also appealed bv Mr..
Haysett from the finding of the jury below
on the grounds that the collision was purely
accidental, and he should not be held liable
| for any damages.
The appeal OF Levi Z. Felty from c. P.
No. was argued by D. r. Jones, Esq. The
suit grows ont of the sale of two acres of
land in Miffiin township, the sum involved
being $3.50.
LAST APPEAL OF THE DAY.
The appeal of Alderman David Doughty
from the finding of Quarter Sessions,
finished the extra days argument. Squire
Doughty, it will be remembered, was con-
victed with the celebrated Bauder gang for
conspiracy in the making and settling of
suits. The argument was made by w. d.
Moore, Esq, and the specifications of error
alleged was the admission of certain evi-
dence and the Courts charge. The argu-
ment for the appellee was made by W. D.
Parker, Esq, who denied the specifications
of error, and urged that the Court below
was rather lenient in its charge to the jury
and the language could have nothing but a
| beneficial effect. This case also includes
! the appeals Of Aldermen Callen and Ma
neese, who were convicted at the same time
The argument list for tomorrow is: Mar
shall VS. Roll, Bradwell VS. Pittsburg and
West End Passenger Railway Company,
jerks VS. Banner Lodge No. 484, Lockhart
