accordance with the law"
Rather Dangerous in ,Pittsburg.

hnther dangerous IN 'flttsDurBs
Mr.. s. A. Johnston considered the Silver
man case final. as regards Armstrong
county. The Commonwealth cannot bring
a writ of error on a criminal case, when the
jury has handed in its verdict. The deci-
sion was also bad blow TO
the Prohibition party. 1t was not a
test case, however, and would hardly
justify man for selling original packages
in Pittsburg. Even with the Supreme Court
to back one, this package business would
prove an extremely precarious one in fltts-
burg, in consequence of the police laws, not
to mention the bitter enmity of other dealers
in liquor
Mr.. Israel, partner of Mr.. Josiah Cohen,
spoke much in the same strain. de salo'
"The Kittanning Court could do no better
than to support the Supreme Courts de-
cision. I think most Pittsourg lawyers
expected this. 1t is now lawful in the Kit;
tanning district to sell these packages to all
but minors and chronic inebriates."
Mr.. William Hunter said: "Yes, this is
final for Armstrong county, but wouldn't
advise any person to set up such business
in Pittsburg. The police would, of course,
be watchful to catch the package seller In
any shady transaction, and they would
bribe known drunkards and minors to enter
the establishment, and subsequently give
evidence against the owner"
Some lawyers express disappointment that
SIlverman was not convicted under the
original package feature so that the case
might have been taken to the higher court.

VIEWS OF ALhEGHENIANS,
HOW THEY LOOK At THE SILvERMAN
CASE DECISION.

Some of Them Think the Law Should be
Ameuded-The Principles of Prohibition
Defeated BY the Decision-Fine Legal
Points Involved.
''In the light of recent events will say
unhcsitatingly that the Supreme Court will
most likely speedily reverse its decree in the
original package matter" said Mr.. George
Shiras. 1.-THE decision does not enforce the
law exactly as the Court intended. and it
should be modified in order to adapt it to
existing circumstances.
Mayor Wyman, Of Allegheny, was in the
midst of his daily work and said that press
close attention to the original package de-
cision.
Captain Gerwick, member of Coun-
ell, gave his views on the matter.
"As it stands now," he said,
"the law can be so construed that
man in neighborine State
can load wagon with bottles of beer and
transport it to some other commonwealth.
A wagon is carrying vehicle, and if the
man delivers the bottles separately TO Gus
toners he is complying with the require
ments of the law, but at the same time,
the principles of prohibition are defeated.
The time is not far distant when the origi-
nal package decision will be altered to cover
such cases"
Colonel Stone was toiling away like
beaver when reporter approached him, but
the Colonel had nothing to say on the orig
inal package question.
Councilman c. C. Scaife said: ut is a
very peculiar business, and will involve
some fine legal points before the Supreme
Court reverses its decision"
Mr.. Stockman, another member of the
Allegheny Council, expressed the following
opinion: "Under the circumstances l be-
lieve the original package decree ought to
be so changed as to comply with the liquor
laws of the different States. When pack
age of spirits is taken to Prohibition
State and opened, think the original
package is broken and the goods are no
longer under the jurisdiction of the pack
age law"

BOSTON, June 13.-The hearing before
the Senate Committee investigating
charges of corruption in the election with
the passage of the West End Elevated
Railroad bill was resumed this forenoon,
and the room WAS crowded. Mr.. Hagar
continued his testimony. reiteratlng posi-
lively his denial of having had the inter-
view testified to by Sanderson.
f. j. Hutch :nson, the attorney for DR.. j.
C. Moore, of the Manchester, n. H., Union,
testified that on the day of the alleged in
terview he saw at the Office in Washington

man who has since been pointed out to him as
Senator Fassett. Witness had remarked to
Sanderson during Hagar's testimony that he

fed that when Senator Fassett proposed to
deliver the votes of ten Senators for $780,
900 (witness) referred him to DR.. Moore
Witness had no money to buy Senators and
no intention to buy any OF them. Senator
Fassett declared to him (witness) that the
Senators could be purchased for $40, 600
each.
Senator Fassett testified he had never had
any conversation with Colonel Sanderson
with regard to elevated roads; never had
any conversation with him at all at DR..
Moore's office, and the alleged 500, 900 in
terview never took place.

INCREASED EXPENDITURES.
STATUS OF THE VARIOUS APPROPRIATION
BILLS.

Chairman Cameron Says That the LeGisla.
tive Work In This Direction is Well
Advanced u His Explanation Of the
Larger Estimates Called For.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The House to-
day, after the reading OF the journal, went
into committee of the whole on the sundry
civil appropriation bill. Mr.. Cannon said
that the amount Of appropriation carried by
the measure was, in round numbers, S2S,-
100000. This was $40, 600, 900 less than the
regular estimates and SIS, ,0O0. 900 less than
the regular and special estimates.
The sundry civil law'for the current year
provided for an expenditure of S25, 600, O00.
The apparent excess in this bill was largely
more than accounted for by certain extraor-
dinary items. The IA regular appropriation
bills as reported to the House aggregated an
expenditure of S3O6, oO0, 900, showing an ex-
cess of $35, 900, 900 over the appropriations
for the current year. This excess was near
lv all accounted for in three bills-pension,
S18, 900. 900; postoffice S12, 900, 600 and naval
g, 160, 900. The other $4,000, 600 resulted
from the expansion incident to the growth
of the country.
Mr.. Cannon then gave statement of the
attitude of the appropriation bills. The
only bill not reported to the House was the
general deficiency bill, and this would be
reported before the close of the fiscal year.
There was pending the sundry civil and the
Indian bills. In the Senate Committee on
Appropriations were the agricultural, and
diplomatic and postoffice bills, and in the
Senate Committee on, Commerce the river
and harbor bill. Pending in the Senate was
the legislative bill. The fortifcation bill
had passed both Houses with Senate amend
ments. The District of Columbia, naval
and pension bills were in conference. The
army and Military Academy bills were in
the hands of the President. This was q
favorable showing compared with the con-
dition of the bills two years ago.

IN A SCHEME TO DISPOSE OF MILLIONS
WORTH OF PROPERTY.

Receiver Asked for the Union stock Yards
Company and nm Injunction TO Prevent
rbe Transfer to mn English Syndicate.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The anticipated suit
to prevent the consummation of the proposed
$40, 600, 600 sale of the Union Stock Yards
and Transit Company, of Chicago, to an
English syndicate, was commenced before
Judge Tuley this afternoon. Decidedly SEN
sationai charges are made in the bill, and
the court is asked to remove the present off,
GERS of the big corporation, appoint a re-
ceiver and issue an injunction restraining
the proposed issue of bonds of the sale of the
plant and stock.
The complainant in the bill is Frank A.

gage was to be given, and William K. Van
derbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John R.
Hoxie, of Texas, and James n. Ashley.
who, with. President Thayer and Manager
Sherman, own majority Of the stock.
The bill charges that it is with no leeit-
innate and lawful motive that the defendants
are seeking to carry out the scheme of SELL
ing the property, but that on the contrary
they are inspired with the sole intention Of
selling it in for little over half its actual
value; that they then propose to depreciate
the value of the stock and run the propertv
down in value until it reaches minimum.
Then when the small stockholders are
frozen ont, it is said, the manipulators will
buy the plant and good will in it for a song.
The bill concludes with the declaration
that on their attempt to wreck the COMPANY
the President and directors and officers
should be removed, and the gigantic inter-
ests in their hands placed in charge of a re-
ceiver appointed by the court.
Judge Tuley sent the bill to Master in

This all seems reasonable in the way OF OBJ

GAME IN ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
A Probable Result of the Lnte Supreme
Court Decision.

At the present time 1t would seem strange
for a man to say he was going down to
market to buy an original package OF quail,
pheasants or other game out of season ac-
cording to law. Nevertheless, such an
action may be just the thing in the not dis
tant future, if the present Interpretation of
the original package decision is not changed
at least. so say some commission mer-
chants.
Mr.. Henry, of Aiken & Henry, commits
sion merchants, brought to notice this
feature of the late decision yesterday, and
said he did not see why it would not work
as we'll on game and fish as on liquor, IL the
former were sent in from outside the State.
During the season that the sale of some
game and fish is prohibited in this State
there is quite demand for the same regard
less OF the law.
Several other dealers held the same views,
and talked strongly of taking advantage Of
the decision.

A case that is probably without parallel
among Aldermen was heard yesterday even
ing before Alderman Beinhauer. Mrs.
Louisa Ebeling was charged BY her hus-
band, Charles, with perjury. Charles alleged
that his wife was of incorporate habits, and
limited that her character is not so unassail-
able as that of Cesar's wife, and in order to
draw her away from evil associations in
duced her to sign an affidavit in which she
agreed to stay away from a certain house
and certain persons. 1t was for violation
of this that he prosecuted her for perjury.
The hearing showed that Mrs. Ebeling is
a much-abused woman, and did not know
what the affidavit contained. A host OF
reputable persons testified to her good
character, and she was discharged.

Irnct for the Big Cruiser.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The award for
the contract for the construction of the 8, 100
ton armored cruiser was one of the questions
considered at to-day's Cabinet meeting.
The appropriation for this vessel is 50, 5Oo,-
900. There are but two competitors for the
work, the Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, and Cramp & Co., of Philadelphia,
and each is working hard to secure the con-
tract. The Union Iron Works made the
lowest bid on the plans prepared by the
Navy Department, while the Cramps made
the lowest bid for the ship under modified
department plans.
Secretary Tracy said to-day that the mat
ter will be settled in a Jew days, but de-
clined to commit himself iurther. Naval
officers who are conversant with the matter
are inclined to the belief that the chances
of securing the contract are in favor of the
Union Iron Works.
