SURETIES DEFINED.
An Important Ruling Affecting Trust Com
panies-A Knock Out in Favor of Land
Holders Against Natural Gas and Other
Corporations,

An Important Ruling Affecting Trust Com.
panies-A Knock Out in Favor of Land
Holders Against Natural Gas and Other
Corporations.
A modest little entry to be found in the
records of Common Pleas Court No. con.
tains kernel of vast interest to corpora,
tions especially, and to the public of this
State at large. 1t reads:
In the matter of the exceptions to the
bond of the Philadelphia Gas Company to
Mary Ellen McClinton, of Moon township,
the exceptions to the bond are sustained.
The case is this: The Philadelphia Gas
Company, in laying a 16-inch main from
Montour to the Meeks gas field in Moon
Clinton property without filing bond, and
thereby became, in the opinion of the ex-
ceptant, a trespasser. The McClinton fam
lily objected when the company proposed to
file bond, and did so, giving that of the
American Trust Company as surety. This
did not satisfy Mary Ellen McClinton, and
she continued to probe the matter. She
was represented by Attorney n. W. Shafer,
while Dalzell, Scott & Gordon appeared for
the company, and the case has just been
argued before Judge Stowe.
Mr.. Shafer held that the act approved
June 25, 1885, did not govern the case, and
on this act the company relied. This act is
one to enable certain corporations to become
sole sureties for the faithful performance of
trust or duty, and Mr.. Shafer held that it
did nothing more, and did not give corpora
tions q right to give a bond of indemnity
for the condemnation of land. He cited the
act giving natural gas companies the right
Of 1r1,io ha hnl rnl la6
the case, This act requires that a company
exercising such right shall give bond with
sureties (not a sole surety) for the con-
demnation of land, and this view was taken
in an opinion by Judge Stowe sustaining
the exceptions to'the bond offered
The meat in the decision is that millions
are involved, some corporations doing bust
ness of the land condemnation kind to a
very great extent under the act of 1885,
which, according to the ruling, will not
hold water, and the decision may have the
effect to greatly circumscribe the opera
tions of some fidelity insurance companies.
A reading of the two acts is likely to con-
vince any layman of the correctness of the
ruling without argument, as the English of
it is of the. plainest kind.> 1t affects this
county to great extent, as in some sec
tions there is scarce a farm that is
trary manner in which the right of emf
nent domain has been sometimes exercised
has been very offensive. Sometimes pipe
laying does very little harm, but in some in
stances it does considerable.
Attorney Joseph Young required COM
pany going through some land in which he
was interested, not only to pay what the
company considered a high price, but re-
quired that the pipe not only be laid be-
meath the ground, but so deep as to make 1t
a. a.costly operation. 1t is out of the way of
the ploW.

ALLEGHENY CATCHES ON.
The Tin Plate Plant Fever Spreads Across
the River.

The Tin Plate Plant Fever Spreads Across
the River.
Tin plate plants seem to be springing up
with about the same rapidity that the
mushroom Republican clubs did, except that
there is an appearance of greater solidity
about the enterprises. Right on the heels
of the announcement of yesterday that Pitts
burg is to have one or two mills came the
report that one is to be in operation in
Allegheny within the next two weeks
Ground has already been broken on the
property of Charles Hartman, where the
old Ninth ward wigwam Is located. The tin
plate problem has been discussed on this
site during many hotly contested cam
paign.
The capital stock of the new company is
said to be 100000 and the principal stock
holders are Charles and William Hartman,
w. W. Davis, Benjamin Weaver and At
torney Patterson. Mr. John jenkins, form
erly of Wales, will be the manager, and for
the present the company will buy its iron
and tin it.

DANGEROUS EXPLOSIONS.

Reckless Quarryins at schenley Park,
Jeopardizing Life and Property.
There is great deal of just indignation
among residents on Oakland square and
Boquet street against the reckless and dan
gerous manner in which blasting is being
done in the city quarry in Schenley Park.
For some time past immense charges of
dynamite have been exploded, far in excess
of anything needed for the proper working
of the quarry and at imminent risk to life
and property in the neighborhood. Some
of the rocks in the: quarry have been shot
across the ravine to points 600 and 700 feet
away, lighting occasionally on the roofs of
houses and making deep indentations in the
earth, and even upon paved streets, where
they fall
Chief Bigelow has had his attention called
to the matter, and upon the request of a
number of families whose lives are in
jeopardy, promised to have the quarrymen
use smaller charges His instructions,
however, are totally disregarded, and every
day the valley of the Junction road is
shaken by terrific explosions.
Experienced quarrymen say that this is
entirely unnecessary. People in the neigh
borhood are looking with dread to some
shocking accident if the Chief does not soon
give such peremptory orders to the park
quarrymen as will prevent this dangerous
and reckless way of doing things.

ONE WAY TO GET NEWS.
How Young Man Secured Tldings Of Hi,
Long-Absent Father.

How a Young Man Secured Tldings of His
Long-Absent Father.
For two or three days past a photograph
of a young man has been posted up in a
Fifth avenue window, with an inscription
asking for information as to the identity of
the original. This photograph was found
among the effects of an old man who died
suddenly in Brooklyn hotel under the
name of Mason, and nothing else was found
that would lead to any knowledge of him
or his friends. The picture bore the name
of morris, Pittsburg," and was sent here
and an effort made to find the name of the
original, but Mr.. Morris had lost the mega
tive.
Then the picture was placed in the win
dow, and yesterday the original walked in
and claimed 1t. He gave his name as
Thomas G. Fortier. He lives at Wilmer
ding. He identified the picture as one
whichHe had sent to his father in 1889, and
when shown the correspondence between
Mr.. Morris and James Langan, of Brook
lyD, who had instituted tine inquiries, he
said the old man who had been known as
Mason was his father, James Fortier, whom
he had not seen for II years, and had not
heard from him for about year. He
would give no explanation of this state of
affairs, and did not know why his father
had been living under an assumed name.

JURORS WITH CONSCIENCES.

An Attorney Defends Their Scruples -
Quakers and Their Belier-one Sure
Way of Avoiding the Death Penalty
Suggested by a Local Lawyer.
Attorney B. c. Christy comes to the de-
tense of the Juror with conscientious
scruples against the infliction of the death
penalty. Mr.. Christy argues that there are
men with convictions so strong against the
infiction of the death penalty that they can
not conscientiously bring in verdict
of murder in the first degree.
no matter what the evidence
may be, and in consequence they cannot
conseientiously do jury duty in capital
cases, as they cannot consent, even re-
motely, to an act that would tend toward
the taking of human life.
Among Quakers, he saws, the objection to
taking human life under any circumstances
has been taught from one generation to the
next until it has become ingrained in the
mental constitution of this sect. This train
ing has gone on so long that it has become
almost hereditary.
George H. ThurstOn also contends that
mans conscientious scruDles on this subject
might be so strong as to render him unable
to agree to a verdict that entailed the death
a moral coward.
On the other hand, minister of the
gospel runs the case to the reductio ad alb
surGum by asking if man who saw mu--
der committed were called as a witness
whether he would be justified in refusing to
testify because he did not think capital
punishment right. A court would either
make such person testify or punish him for
refusal. 1t will str Ike the average person
that the witness whose testimony convicts
a person of murder in the first degree has
fully as much to do with his hanging, if he
be hanged, as the juror who assists to make
a verdict according to the evidence sub
mitted.
Attorney Frank W. Smith suggests a
plan for the punishment of murder that
might do away with the mawkish seuti-
mentality which enables so many things to
prey on society with impunity. 1t is that
the punishment for murder in the first
degree be made Imprisonment for life, with
no power TO pardon resting anywhere e1-
cept in the case of evidence being discov-
cred to prove innocence or mitigating cir
cumstances. Mr.. Smith thinks that were
such the case, red-handed murderers would
not entirely escape, as even chicken-hearted
jurors might agree to imprisonment for life
as penalty.

ANNIE FISH is OUT.
The Girl Who So Frequently Puzzled the
Police Escapes From the Reform School


burg.
Annie Fish is out again. The girl who
for weeks baffled the efforts of the police to
unravel the mystery surrounding her
actions, escaped from the Morganza Reform
School late Thursday night. Her
record in Pittsburg was a
notable one She first made her
appearance here about 1S months ago, rid
ing on a freight train from Franklin and at
tired in boys clothing. Several nights she
slept in Lawrenceviile stables and was
finally picked up, half starved, By woman
and given proper attire. Alderman Nc
Nierney's wife secured her a position with
a Butler street family The girl told a
story of brutal treatment and was believed.
A few days later she feigned a trance, was
removed to the West Penn Hospital, where
physicians worked two days to bring her
about. She told half dozen different
stories, all equally plausible
Then she disappeared, but turned up later
in Sharpsburg and Agent Dean, ofthe Anti
Cruelty Society, had her sent to Morganza
She escaped, leaving no trace of her where
abouts On January u last, the officers
about Central police station were surprised
to see her enter the Office. Another pitiful
story was produced. This time it was that
she had married young Southsider, who
cruelty beat her and then disappeared, leav-
ing her without a cent. But her reputa-
tion was too well known for any credence
to be placed in her story. She was held
over night and the next day was sent back
to Morganza, where she has been up to her
last escape.
The appearance of Annie Fish has always
produced plenty of sympathy for her, She
is IS years of age, slight of figure and grace
ful, with dark brown hair and beautiful
blue eyes. Her home is supposed to be at
Oil CITY, though it has snever been definitely
determined. The police say she is slightly
demented, but there is no evidence of men
tai arrangement in her talk, look or
actions

TAKES LITTLE STOCK IN IT.

Local Carpenters Affairs.

General Secretary McGuire's Opinion About
Local Carpenters Affairs.
In regard to the controversy between local
union 230, of carpenters, and the District
Council of Pittsburg General Secretary Nc
Guire said In o letter received in this CITY
yesterday:
take very little stock in the talk about
an independent organization in Pittsburg.
Fully nine-tenths Of the men who ARE con-
nected with our unions in Pittsburg pre-
vious to the strike are nov in good standing
in our organization and are working in its
interest. The balance are in Arrears and will
square up just as soon as they can get the
means. The Pittsburg unions are now in
good working order and the small ripple of
discomfort in union $50 will not assume the
sensational proportions described in some
OF the papers.
Local union 23O met last night. 1t is likely
the local difficulties will shortly be referred
to the General Executive Board for deci
sion. In the meantime few Developments
are looked for.

anime Gas Machine.
Daniel Ripley, Captain Anderson, of the
O'Hara Glass Works, and I. B. Lee, repre-
senting Carnegie, Phipps & Co., journeyed
on to Chicago the other day and wished
they had remained at home. Some bright
Chicagoan advertised famous gas-making
machine very widely, and the gentlemen
mentioned were so taken by the promises
held forth that they determined to go to the
Windy City and look into it. In their esti-
nation, that city never better earned its
title than it did on tn occasion, through
the hustling owner of the gas machine The
inventor of this patent process, as one of
the party expressedit, ''talked them blind /"
He talked necessarily, and when Mr.
Ripley asked him to show them test of the
gas be drew in fresh supply of atmosphere
and began all over again. Mr.. Ripley
again succeeded in stemming the tide of
eloquence for beief moment and managed
to say that the party would like to see
meter test of this great gas. The inventor
could not see it similarly, and on his max
ing evident preparations for another food
of words the glass manufacturer left in dis
gust and took the next train home His
friends heard the man to.a finish, and they
returned the next morning without the
patent process for making gas from wind.

Another Postponement.

1t is thought now that very few of the
window glass factories in Pittsburg will re-
sumo before the 10th or 18th of October,
and some will not be able to start even then
on account Of changes in furnaces. The
conference concluded that manufacturers
might start up at their pleasure after Oc-
tober ], but this latter decision has been
thought the wisest, inasmuch as it would
come closer to starting all at the same time.
Dealers have been given the assurance that
assortments and stocks will not be rounded
up much before the new year.

The Extreme Heat Still Keeps Up, With
. Some Signs of a Change.
Another day of swelter and sweat made
many Pittsburgers long for the deserted sum-
mer resorts. If intense longing could have
carried people to the seashore yesterday the
sands would have swarmed with mass OF
humanity. As the sun came up in the
morning the mercury prepared for lively
day and mounted to the 700 mark. When
at IL o'clock it registered 900, hundreds of
citizens, whose sleep the night before had
been full of dreams about birthstone and
mosquitoes, looked agonized. Two o'clock
brought two degrees relief and at P. NJ.
800 was the figure. Neglige garments and
ice water are favorites once more, and UNI
brella dealers are closing early.
In the interest of humanity the weather
man has spied section of cooler atmos-
phere. which may reach Pittsburg to-day.
If it fails to connect. the only consolation
left the suffering city people is that things
cannot be much worse.
