A FRIENDLY FIGHT.
Pittsburg's Appeal From the State to
Be Heard in November.
THE CITY OFFICIALS GO EAST
And Will Arrange for the Argument in
the Important Case.
THE MONEY INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE

A date for hearing the arguments on the
appeal of the city of Pittsburg against the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the mat
ter of State tax imposed on the city's rail-
road compromise bonds has been set for No
vember 28 The case will come mp in the
Common Pleas Courts of Dauphin county.
As soon as he received the or
der from Court yesterday, City At
torney Moreland decided to 60 down
to Lancaster and arrange for the arguments
with Attorney General Hensel. The Major
took the fast line on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road last night, and will return on Saturday.
Controller Morrow went East on Tuesday
night, presumably in connection with the
same case. The two officials will probably
meet at Lancaster and return together.
While away the Controller will have an in
teryiew with Auditor General Gregg and
arrange the plan of action in the case.
An Amicable Suit.
The suit is an amicable one as far as the
city and State officials are concerned. but if
the city loses she will be under the painful
necessity of paying between $4,000 and
$50, 900 in State taxes which the law was
specially passed to prevent. The story Is
an old one and would be uninteresting were
it not for its pecuniarv feature. Away back
in the fifties, when railroads were luxury
and this city had few of them, Councils ac-
cepted lot of bonds in the Panhandle,
Allegheny Valley Railroad, and other roads
to stimulate and encourage them. subse-
quently, to release herself, the city, under
an ootn nf honda
amounting to 81, 1SO, 1S7, known as railroad
compromise bonds.
From the money realized by the sale of
these bonds the city liquidated her original
railroad indebtedness. The new bonds were
placed at and per cent, maturing in 1913,
and under the act of 1862 they are exempt
from State taxes.
Acted in Good Faith.
The city in good faith guaranteed them
as so exempted, and they were sold to
innocent holders under those conditions
Consequently if the city loses the present
case this money must come from the city
and not the bondholders. No attempt
was made to collect State tax on
the bonds until Governor Pattison's first
Then an effort was
made to collect from the time the bonds
were issued until that time, but the Con-
troller fought the case and won. Six years
have elapsed since then. In his second ad-
Mr.. Pattison's cabinet is again
to collect, from the date of the
previous controversy until the present
time. The amount involved foots up be-
tween $40, 900 and $4,000. If the city
loses in the Dauphin county courts, Major
will appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court, and endeavor to get a decision
which will set the matter at rest until the
bonds mature.

witnesses examined. The majority
of them were of the opinion that both

done all in their power to stop the cars
Men who were on both cars, "a and 81, testi-
fed that they had seen the gripmen exert
ing every effort to avert the accident They
also said that the cars were very heavily
loaded. A couple of witnesses swore that
the wheels were locked on both cars, and
so tightly on car GA that sparks were flying
from the rails There were several men
who contradicted these statements, but
these witnesses were not passengers on the
cars.
A number of people. several of them
gripmen on the road, said that it was not an
uncommon occurrence for cars to slide COM
ing down the hill at the point where the
accident occurred. The rails were said to
be in bad shape Saturday. They were
gummy and dirty and when in that condi-
tion several gripmen said it was hard work
to stop car. A number of witnesses testi-
fed TO the character of Gledhill and Rich
ardson. They were both proven to be ef-
fcient sober men. No one could be found
who had seen any oil on the tracks The
Coroner took especial pains to bring this
feature out The case will be finished Sat-
urday
