SHOCKED ON A CAR.

Experience of n Passenger and Conductor
on the second Avenue Line-A Quarter
Knocked From Their Hands-RelatiOn
of Electricity and Wet Clothing.
A gentleman had q queer experience the
other morning coming in on the Second
avenue electric road. 1t had been raining,
and his clothes were damp. He sat down
on the car seat, and when the
conductor asked him for the fare he held
out quarter. As soon as the conductor
touched it both men squirmed, and expert
enced a powerful shock. The strangest part
of the whole occurrence was the action Of
the coin. 1t shot away from the hands OF
the two men, and was carried through the
air as by some invisible power, forming In
its track a graceful bow, and falling down
at the other end of the car, where it was
found.
In seeking for an explanation of the affair
it was discovered that the passenger had sat
down on the motor. The motors are covered
with rubber to prevent the current COM
municating with the car. The rubber
pieces had worked out of position, and the
passenger was charged with the subtle fluid.
The clothes of the conductor also were moist
from the rain, and when both men touched
each others hands over the coin connection
was formed, and they were shocked.
The passenger in speaking of his expe-
rience afterward, said that he felt weak and
nervous for some time. His arms twitched
nervously as he recalled how the electricity
shook him up. At present the Second ave-
nue. line is using single mators, but it is
the intention to double the number to in
crease the running strength of the road.
With two motors the charge would have
been twice as heavy, and it is easy to i'm
agine what the result might have been.

CAN'T SEE THE BENEFIT.

Several Cecil Alley Property Owners Ap.
peal From the Viewers Decision.
James P. Sterrett, trustee of James Nc
Auley, filed an appeal yesterday from the
decision of the Board of Viewers in the
widening of Cecil alley from Liberty street
to Duquesne way. The appeal sets forth
that McAuley's property fronts 60 feet on
Duquesne way and extends back 2SO feet on
Cecil alley. The Board of Viewers. 1t is
stated, took a strip OF this property, 3Ox2SO
feet, assessing benefits at $13, ,632 20, whereby
the damage allowed him has been reduced
from $S5, 900 to S21, 1867 so. which does not
compensate for the damage done.
A similar appeal was made by j., B.
jackson and J. III. Kennedy, trustees of the
estate of William Carr. This property fronts
6O feet on the west side of Filth avenue, ex-
tending back 130 leet. The benefits assessed
to $276, which is claimed to be
unjust as the property is not benefited.
A similar appeal was made by w. w.
Speer, whose property is at the southwest
corner OF Duquesne way and Cecil alley,
and the assessed benefits on it amount to
s4l 291 II. This is claimed excessive and
unjust.

ALL THE NEWS FROM LEGAL SOURCES

Judge Hawkins, Of the Orphans Court.
yesterday handed down an opinion in the
matter of the petition of Mrs. Annie Laura
Bond, residuary legatee of the estate of Mrs.
Anna c. Simpson. Mrs. Simpson died
March 2, 1889. The will, dated November
10, 1888, bequeathed 81, 900 to the Orphans
Home of the U. P. Church, $1,000 to the
Third q. P. Church, of Allegheny, and the
residue of her estate to the Boards of Home,
Foreign and Freedmen's Missions of the U.
P. Church. A codicil to the will, dated
February 2, 1889, changed the bequests,
giving 81, 900 only to the Orphans Home,
$500 to the Third o. P. Church. $500 to the
U. P. Church of Fleming, at Ellsworth,
and the residue of the estate to Mrs. Annie
Laura Bond, the adopted daughter of her
deceased husband.
Mrs. Bond filed petition in court, claim
ing that the codicil brought the legacIes of
the Third q. P. Church, Orphans Home
those given in the original will, as in the
codicil, within the operations of the act of
April 26, 1865, and therefore void, as having
been given within one calendar month
before the death of the testator.
Judge Hawkins, in his opinion, said that
the first question to be considered was if the
month was to be computed inclusive or ex-
elusive of the days of the execution of
the codicil and the death of the testator.
The obvious meaning of the act of As
sembly was that a full calendar month
should elapse between. The words lat
least" must be allowed to have a meaning,
and they impart this. The general rule is
that the day on which an act is done is ex-
cluded from the computation of time. The
I'd OF March was necessary to fill out the
one calendar month prescribed by the sta
tute, and the codicil was therefore not made
one month before death.
Continuing, the Court said that this
avoids the original legacy given in the
codecil to the U. P. Church of Fleming. In
the others the manifest purpose was to re-
duce the amounts and not revoke. There
was no change except in the amounts of the
legacies, and the benefciaries and uses were
the same as in the original will, and there
was no word that expressed revocation, and
there is no apparent reason for revocation.
This decision gives the Third U. P.
Church $500, the Orphans Home 81, 900,
and the balance to Mrs. Bond.

THE REASON WHY.
Sunday Excursions Called n Blessing to the
Working Cinsses.


Working Cinsses.
A difference Of opinion exists among rail-
road managers as to the propriety of
running Sunday excursions. The Penn
sylvania Company has instructed Its agents
to notify patrons that it is against the rules
Of the road to run excursions on the Sab
bath day. The Baltimore and Ohio doesn' t
stand on such high moral ground.
Said Division Passenger Agent E. D.
Smith of the latter line yesterday: 81 have
long made the question OF Sunday excur-
sions study. The Baltimore and Ohio has
been pioneer in the business, and we
do not run them for the purpose OF revenue.
In city like Pittsburg where the men work
hard all week in hot mills they deserve a
little fresh air on one day. The only day
they have is Sunday, and the Baltimore
and Ohio officials hold that they are doing
great deal in offering facilities to all such
who may desire to go into the mountains or
the country. For this reason we propose to
run Sunday excursions. At least.. Eve can't
see that by bensftting people we are doing
any harm"

A REDUCTION LOOKED FOR.
Window Glass Nen Want Lower Rates I
the Pacific Coast.

Window Glass DIen Want Lower Rates to
the Pacific Coast.
The chances are that the rates on window
glass will be reduced sometime in June to
the Pacific Coast. The Transcontinental
Association mas recommended the reduction
subject to the approval of the Trunk lines.
The latter roads have not yet signifed their
acceptance, but Western agents teel con-
fdent that the cut to 95 cents from 81 10
will be made.
A window glass man said yesterday that
reduction In rates to the Pacific Coast W s
badly needed. He thought il better rates
were offered by the roads and the tariff was
advanced that more American window glass
would be sold in the far Western States.
Just like the coke business, the home glass
has been driven out o, the CalIforn a
markets by English importations. The
rates OF freight by water are so low that the
English manufacturer is able to knockout
the American G lass man even on his own
soil. This is big country, and its very
immensitY sometimes initiates against its
citizens.

to have hall OF the profits. Casey alleges
that he advanced the firm $500, and was to
receive interest on 81, 941, which he loaned to
the firm. The plaintiff states that the firm
did well, and that no debts were con-
tracted, and that considerable assets

thing out OF it. The plaintiff further al
leges that Trexler was tie business man of
