ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
HOW THE LAW WORKS IN THE
KEYSTONE STATE.
Liquor Men Jubilant Over Decision
Made by an Armstrong County Judge.
License Money Thrown Away.

PrrTsBURG, June 13.-A sensation was
created in this portion Of Pennsylvania
today by the decision of an Armstrong
county judge in an original package
case. A short time ago Charles Silver
man opened an original package store in
Leechburg, local prohibition town.
He acted as agent for Cincinnati brew
ing company, and disposed of large
quantity of beer. Silverman was
promptly arrested and his trial came off
before Judge Sayburn, at Kittanning,
today. The temperance people asserted
that Silverman violated the law by sell
ing liquor without a license; also, that
he sold to minors and men of intemper-
ate habits. Silverman, who had sold
only in half-barrels and barrels set up
the original package decision in defense,
andproved that he had not sold to minors.
Judge Sayburn, in his charge to the jury
refused to consider the evidence in re-
gard to the violation of the local prohib-
itory law, saying the question for the
jury to decide was whether the packages
were the identical and unbroken pack
ages shipped from Ohio. If SO, then
Silverman had right to make sale, ac-
cording to the supreme court decision. If
found guilty of selling to minors and in
temperate men, that ofense would come
under the state police regulations, for,
while the state might not prohibit the
sale of original packages, it could pro-
tect its citizens. The jury acquitted Sill
verman OF the charge of selling with
out license and to minors, but found him
guilty of selling to persons of known in
temperate habits. The liquor people,
who have been in a hopeless minority in
Armstrong county, are jubilant, and say
original packages can now flood every
town in the state, and the high license
paid by local dealers is practically money
thrown away.

DisEysr1n ent Proceedings Dismissed.

SAN FRAg. 'IsCo, June 13.-The disbar-
ment proceed. 'ngss that have been pend
ing for some time against, Moses G..
Cobb were disn4 issed yesterday, on the
ground that the accusation was insult
ticient. The ACCUSE tion was that Cobb
had retained $1,000 given to him as
purchase money for the river steamer
Ferndale, at an eastern sale, by one
Crawford, after Shallard, the owner of
the vessel, had repudiated Cobbs au-
thority to act for him at the sale. 1t
appears that the money was finally paid
after threats of disbarment had been
made, and the court held that while the
conduct of the respondent may be sub
ject to some adverse criticism, it did not
think that the case made out was strong
enough to warrant his disbarment.

MIRACULOUS CURES.
SCENES OF THE TIME OF THE saw
IOUR RE-ENACTED.
Ten Thousand Lame, Deaf and Blind Flock
to Pittsburg in a Single Day to Be
Healed by Father Mollinger.

PTTsBURG June 13--At least 10000
afflicted, from all parts of the country,
gathered at Father Mollinger's church
in Allegheny city today, to be healed
and take part in the celebration of St.
Anthony's day. 1t was curious as
semblage of lame, deaf and blind, drawn
by reports of Father Mollinger's mirac-
ulous cures. The afflicted began
to arrive yesterday, and last
night 5000 were camped about
the church, sleeping on the floors, door
steps, porches and ground. The services
began at day and continued all
day, until late this evening. Thousands
were unable to gain admission to the
church, and all day stood in the hot
sun awaiting turns to be cured. Father
Mollinger is physician as well as a
priest, and does not claim any mirac-
ulous powers, but is firm believer in
faith, coupled with works. He does not
charge anything for his prescriptions,
but few left without giving the church
from twenty-five cents to So.

UNION STOCK YARDS.
SMALL STOCKHOLDERS REFUSE TO
BE FROZEN OUT.
An Injunction Sued for to Prevent the
Transfer of the Immense Plant and
Property to a British Syndicate.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The anticipated
100000 900 sale of the Union stock yards
to an English syndicate was commenced
before Judge Tuley this afternoon. De-
cidedly sensational charges are made,
and the court is asked to remove the
present officers of the corporation, ap-
point a receiver and issue an injunction
restraining the proposed issue of bonds
and the sale of the plant and stock.
The complainant in the bill is Frank
R. Baker, a dealer at the yards, and
owner of over $50 shares of capital stock.
He makes the defendants, Nathaniel
Thayer, of Boston, the company's presi-
dent; John B. Sherman, general mana
ger; George T. Williams, secretary and
treasurer; j. G. Dennison, assistant
secretary, and six of the best
known railroad magnates in
the United States, John Newell,
Marvin Hughitt, ]. M. Mccullough, J.
G. McMullin, H. B. Stone, R. R. Cable
Union Stock Yards and Transit Com
pany. Other defendants are Russell
Monroe and Richard Olney, pro-
moters of the enterprise to buy the
yards; the London Contract Company,
to whom it is proposed to make the sale;
the Central Trust Company, of New
York, to which mortgage was to be
given, and VIM. K Vanderbilt, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, John R. Hoxie, of
Texas, and James H. Ashley, who with
President Thayer and Manager Sherman
own the majority of the stock
The bill charges that the defendants
are inspired with the sole intention of
selling the property for little over half
its actual value; that they then propose
to depreciate the value of the stock, and
run the property value down until it
reaches the minimum. Then, when the
small stockholders are frozen out the
manipulators intend to buy the plant
and good will in, comparatively, for
mere song.
Baker asserts that the stock is intrin-
sically and actually worth two hundred
dollars per share, whereas it is proposed
to sell to the syndicate for $3.50 per
share, of which only 500 is cash.
Among other points made in
the bill are that the purchas-
ing company, the London Contract
Company and Central Trust Company
are alien corporations, over which the
courts here can have no Jurisdiction;
furthermore, being British corpora
ton they have no community of inter
est with the western stockholders, etc.
Judge Tuley referred the matter to the
master in chancery for hearing.

Tucson, Ariz., June 13.--At the Milti-
more court-martial today, Captain True
completed his evidence for the prosecu-
ton. He testified that the lowest bid
he had received for rent for offices for
the two paymasters and quartermaster
was $75 per month. To this would have
been added pay for a night watchman,
which would bring the total expenses
considerably above the amount now paid
which is alleged to be exorbitant. Cap
tain Murray, of the fourth cavalry, testi-
fed that Miltimore told him on several
occasions that the property in which he
(Miltimore) resided was his own. Major
A. S. Kimball testified that in 1886, dur
ing the Indian campaign, Captain Milti-
more reported to him for duty and had
been disbursing quartermaster under
him since that date, and had disbursed
nearly one million dollars. Not ques-
ton had ever been raised as to any eX-
penditure. Ma jor Kimball continued
the leases for the offices. ''Being in
Mrs. Boch's name, l inferred that she
was the actual owner, and | have had
no reason to change my mind"

A Novel Contest with Rod and Line.

Two Boston sportsmen have made a.
novel wager involving their strength and
endurance. One is an expert salmon
fisher, and has wagered 800 that he can
land anything in the shape of fish OF
man if he once gets it on his hook. His
companion has deposited an equal
amount that he cannot do so, and will
himself act the part of the fish in the
contest. A strap will be placed about
his waist and the fly will be hooked in
the strap at his back. The fisherman
will stand upon the shore, and with an
ordinary salmon rod and outfit. If he
succeeds in landing his companion he is
the winner, but if the pseudo-fish
breaks the line or successfully refuses to
be landed the money goes the other way.
Many outside wagers are being made
among sporting men, and the prospect
of such a novel trial of strength and
endurance is creating considerable ex-
citement in sporting circles. The scene
OF the contest will be the Penobscot
river, and the time June, when the
water is warm, ,-[Chicago Tribune.

LONDON, June 13.-The debate on the
licensing bill was continued in the COM
mons this evening. There was a long
discussion of Acland's proposition to ap-
ply the compensation funds to education.
Gladstone made vigorous speech. The
opponents of the bill had, he said, con-
sidered it distinctly a retrograde step in
social reform, and demanded the funds
to be applied toward education. Public
house values had already risen through
the prospects advised by the measure,
and the moment it became law every
public house in the country would be re-
garded as worth more than the market
price. The bill would establish a prin-
ciple that license might be brought up
by money from the public at prices vir-
tually fixed by the license-holders. The
amendment that legal powers remain in
tact, is merely delusive in the face of the
entire character of the bill The amend
ment really means the endowment of
gigantic interest at the expense of the
public purse. 1t would entirely para
lyze all hope OF efecting reduction in
the number of public houses without
ruinous cost to the country.
Goschen charged that the responsible
ity for the enhanced value of public
houses rested greatly with Gladstone
who had, he said, laid down the doc
trine of compensation.
Gladstone retorted that he had never
spoken on the subject, except in connec-
ton with local option and the extinc-
ton OF public houses.
Goschen quoted John Bright as to the
injustice of canceling the licenses with
out giving compensation therefor, and
declared that the fanatical opposition to
the bill was due to jealousy.
Sir George Trevelyan characterized
the bill as the worst proposal of the kind
ever submitted to parliament, and a
severe blow to the cause of temperance.
Finally after long debate the cloture
was adopted, and Acland's proposal re-
| jected; 275 to 242.
| The announcement of the figures was
received with great applause by the op-
position, who regarded the cutting down
of the government ma ajority as distinct
victory for them.
