Prothonotary Newmyer, of the Supreme
Court, received the opinion in the case of
the McKeesport and Bellevernon Rail-
road Company VS. Andrew Lyle and
Catherine Lyle yesterday. The case was
one wherein the Lyles had asked for an
injunction to restrain the company from build
ing a railroad in the rear of their lot in the
borough of Reynoldtown, claiming that, as the
company had removed the outbuildings, ETC.,
on the premises and cut off access to them in
the rear, they were interfered with in the en-
joyment of their dwelling. The opinion is by
Justice McCollum, who says:
In the grant to railroad companies of the right
of eminent domain. there is limitation, the nature
of which is the subject of this controversy. 1t is
alleged the defendant company exceeded its
powers and disregarded the limitation. 1t may
be conceded that the location of the railroad is an
injury to the property; but it does not follow that
1t is a violation of the act of February, 1919.
The Judge quotes from the report of the
master in relation to the ground taken, and the
fact that the access to the rear of the lot from
the front could only be secured by crossing the
garden. The Court admits that access to the
lot by way of the rear alley was a convenience,
and added to its value, but declined to admit
that using the lot at the side of the house
would destroy the property, although it might
not necessary to q dwelling, although they are
desirable. The location of a railroad across a
lot on which there is a dwelling or across a
country seat, is not in violation of the statute.
The Court holds that, in the present case, the
road does not interfere any more than If it
were located entirely in the alley, and that the
removal and relocation of the o%utbuildings do
not prevent the reasonable use of the dwelling
SO as to bring it within the prohibition of the
statute, 1t is a case for damages and not for
Injunction.

A FATAL EXPLOSION.

A House Wrecked, One Man Killed and Nine
Others Badly Ipjurcd-TwO Families In
voIved-Not Certain Whether II Was
Sewer Or-Nntural Gas.
A terrible explosion occurred yesterday
morning about 9 o'clock at L~awrenceYilIe,
in which one person was killed outright and
nine others more or less seriously injured,
one fatally. The house, a two-story frame
with attic, was completely demolished.
Or the II inmates, embracing two
families, only two escaped unhurt.
The casualties are as follow: Killed,
John Schleip, aged So years; fatally injured,
Mrs. Theodore Ringer, aged 80 wears;
seriously injured, Miss Amelia Schleip,
aged Is years; Mrs. John Schleip, aged 80
years; Albert Ringer, aged 4 years; slightly
injured, Annie Ringer, aged 3 years; Katie
Ringer, aged 8 years; Baby Ringer, aged
3 months; Paul Malchart and wife.
Mrs. Ringer, having occasion to visit the
cellar, struck a match on reaching the foot
of the stairs leading thereto. The cellar was
evidently heavily surcharged with gas and
the explosion was the result. Mr.. Schleip
was an iron roller and worked at night. He
had only been at home long enough from
work to undress and get to bed. He was an
industrious and economical man. He was a
loser by the Lawrenceville bank.
The report of the explosion was heard for
squares. The house was blown to atoms
and the inmates covered with the debris.
The alarm of fire was Immediately turned
in, and to the timely arrival of the engines
and the quick work of subduing the flames
is due the saving of the lives of those who
were helplessly buried in the ruins. Schleip
died en- route to the hospital. Mrs. Ringer
was terribly burned and ANN survive.
The escape of an aged couple, Mr.. Michler
and wife, who lived in the attic, wal almost
miraculous; they were unearthed from the
ruins with only a few scratches. Albert
Ringer, 4 years old, had both arms broken.
The sufferers we're taken to neighboring
houses and kindly cared for.
The houses adjoining we're considerably
shaken up and the walls of one rendered IN
safe by the conclusion. Various opinions
exist as to whether it was attributable to
natural or sewer gas.

Russian Influenza.

Almost everyone is now interested in
knowing the proper treatment for this dis
ease. According to the best authorities it
requires precisely the same treatment as a
severe cold, and it is generally known that
there is nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, taken as di-
rected. Extreme care should be taken to
keep the feet dry and warm, the body we'll
clothed and to avoid exposure, especially
when recovering from the disease, and to
keep up the vitality. Persons physically
week should take tonics to keep up their
strength. 1t is also important that the
bowels be kept regular. No ordinary case is
likely to require any further treatment than
this to insure a complete recovery.

The case of the Shenango and Allegheny
Railroad Company was called in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday, that being the
time fixed for making the decree for the sale OF
the road, unless the receivers certificates, held
by the Adams Express Company and b. K
Jamison & Co., amounting to S75, 5000, we're paid.
Notice was received from the Adams Express
Company that a satisfactory arrangement had
been made for the payment of the $4,000 Of
certificates held by it. and that it had no
further interest in the suit.
A statement from A. c. Huidekooper repre-
scented that he had purchased the certificates
held by Jamison & Co. d. 7. Watson, Esq,
stated that the certificates of the Adams Ex-
press Company had been purchased by I. P.
Fowler and F. w. Whitridge, and they de-
sired a postponement of the decree for so days.
D. T. Watson. Esq, resisted the sale of the
road on the ground that the sale was now de-
sired by the holder of only $4,000 worth of GER
t~ificates out of SIT, 900, the balance not desiring
the sale. After some argument Mr.. Murray, of
Youngstown, representing certain bondholders,
agreed to pay the certificates held by Huide-
hooper. This was consented to, and the
amount, Sl7, 0O6 10, was paid, ending the pro-
ceedings for sale.

A petition for an appeal from the probate Of
the will Of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, of
Pittsburg, was filed yesterday in the Orphans
Court by Joseph h. and Thomas Taylor and
Mrs. Emily Blackburn, Of England, who, with
Selma Taylor, of Armstrong county, and Han
nah Walker. of Allegheny county, are children
of Mrs. Taylor. She died December q, 1888,
aud her will, dated November II, was fled for
probate January 80, 1889, and letters of admin
~istration were issued to William Marshall.
The petitioners did not know of their moth
er's death until the will was probated. They
claim the will filed, as they have reason to be-
lieve, was not the true and uncoerced will of
Mrs. Taylor. She was, it was stated, at the
time of making the will, of unsound mind, and
both physically and mentally incapable of max
ing or signing a will. The principal benehcia-
ries under the contested will are Hannah

AN ELEGANT GARMENT.
A Penn AvenHe Window Worth n Visit by
Anyone.

Jos. Horne & Co.'s big Cloak Depart
ment window has a display of elegant Seal
skin Garments worth more than passing at
t%entioD. Among this magnificent exhibit is
a more than handsome ne plus ultra Alaska
Sealskin Newmarket, richly trimmed with
sea otter, a rare and expensive fur, and
a garment they claim to be the finest
brought to these cities. The regular price of
the garment is 500. Their explanation of
the fact that $3.50 is the price now asked for
it is that this is their January clearance
time, and the only question asked in mark
ing the price down was, what will sell it?
Surely $3.50 will not be long finding a buyer
for so grand a garment.
