Mr.. Monaghan's Title to be
Tested in Court.
A WRIT OF gRRTIORARI
Proceedings brought by Mr.. Curley. of ST.,
Clair and Formerly of Shenandoah, to
st Aside a Levy Made by Constable.
Important Question Involved.

An interesting legal question arising out of
a suit brought before Justice J. J. Monaghan
last fall has sprung up in the Court Of Com
mon Pleas at Pottsvlle and it will in all
events determine whether Mr.. Monaghans
com mission as a Justice of the Peace became
null and void when he accepted the appoint
ment as Inspector Of immigration.
The suit referred to is that of the Shenan
doah Feed and Lumber company against Pat
rick Curley, formerly of town and now of st
Q air. The solicitor for the company last
fall obtained Judgment against Curley for
lumber and other material furnished. Pro
ceedings in the case ended with the entry of
Judgment, so far as Justice Monaghan was
concerned because shortl, alter he entered
upon his duties as Inspector of immigration.
Justice Monaghan thereupOn transferred
the record in this case to Justice Toomey,
assigning as his reason for the transfer that
he was temporarily absent from home.
Justice ToOmey, after the transfer to him
issued an execution against Curley, which
was directed to Constable Giblin, and that
officer proceeded to St. Clair TO take an inven
| tory of all the property belonging to the de
| fendaut.

Michael Coakiey, of Colorado, Mangled
by a p. q II. Railroad Train
Michael Coakley, of Colorado, was struck
by an engine and killed on the Reading rail
road, within sight of his home yesterday
afternoon The scene of the accident is
about quarter of mile east of the Colorado
station platform and between a cut and a
sharp curve. The unfortunate man WAS
returning from Lost Creek and walking the
sills just outside the rails and on the right
side going westward. At 1855 n M, engine
No $40, with eighty loaded coAl cars, dashed
down the grade at about twenty miles per
hour and, as it rounded the curve, Engineer
Horace Seitzinger espied man walking the
track and close ahead. The usual whistle
signal was given, but the pedestrian kept on
Is though deaf or indifferent TO his danger.
| IL was but a half minute until the engine
was within few feet of the doomed man.
| The noise of the approaching train was suflic-
| lent 10 apprise him of his danger, yet he
made no move to leave the track. The en-
gineer SAW that Coakley must be struck and
held his breath in horror.
| A moment later the pilOt struck the un-
| fortunate man square in the back, knocking
! him forward and on to the rails. Brake.
were applied, but the entire train passed over
the man before it could be stopped When
the tTsinmen went back they found Coax lev
dead, with The left arm lying across the II
and cut off above the elbow, the skull
| crushed and the blood and brains bespattered
along the track the length of rail. Death
was probably Instantaneous.
The poor old man was known to the rail
road boys, who tenderly lifted his remainI
from their resting place and carried them tC
his home
A grandson of the dead man, named Eddie
Ryan, was seen by = reporter at Colorado
yesterday afternoon. "He had been up to

Thomas Nolan and Richard Flynn, of Butler
township quarelled over election matters
and that Flynn had been shot. lnvestiga

bill for making Democrats vote the Re-
publican ticket In disgust and despair,
or refrain from voting and let the Repub-
leans have their way. Why shouldn't
Democrats vote for Republican candidates.

When Democratic Representatives desert
Democratic principles. and masquerade in
Republican and Populist old clothes. 1t is
not to be expected that Democrats will be
especially anxious TO vote for more Demo
cratic Representatives.

The action taken by Admiral BESHAM, in
forbidding the war ships commanded by
the rebel Admiral DA CANA TO modest
American merchant vessels. Is entirely
justified by international law. II should
have been taken long ago. and 1t will prob
ably be followed by similar action on
the part of the naval representatives
OF other foreign powers. The practical
result will he to raise the blockade, which
the Brazilian rebels have illegally estab-
llshed. aud the ultimate effect Of this may
be the collapse OF the rebel cause. In such
eventual consequences We are not directly
concerned; what does concern us is the
enforcement Of the right OF our merchant
vessels To traverse at will the bay OF Rio de
Janeiro. so long as we are on friendly terms
with the only Brazilian Government which
has been recognized by foreign countries.
The Brazilian rebels, who were at first
headed by Admiral MELLo. and who have
since been commanded by Admiral ia
CANA. have never been recognized as bclig-
erents by any foreign power. They have
been proclaimed pirates by President PIT
NoTo. The proclamation did not make them
so in the full meaning Of the word but in
ternational law permits them TO he treated
as pirates 10y any foreign power. when the
lives or property Of It's citizens are assailed,
for those men are accused by their own Gov
eminent OF piracy Every shot fired by
the rebels at a merchant vessel OF foreign
power; every refusal to permit such yes
sci to traverse the bay Of Rio dc Janeiro and
proceed Ia its customary anchorage. was
an act OF piracy for which immediate pun
ishment might lawfully have been Inflicted
by the naval representatives Of the flag
which had been thus lnsulted.
Our national ensign. the Stars and Stripes,
has been repeatedly subjected to this in
dignity since the outbreak OF the rebellion.
At one iuncture our own Government must
be said TO have conniyed at the molestation
and humiliation Of which our merchant yes
sells were the victims. We refer 10 the in
eidents that followed President PEIxoTo's
order that all merchant vessels locked along
the city front should retire to a point some
distance above the town. With that order

Secretary Carllsle,s hackers.

Up to late hour on Tuesday morning.
Secretary CARLIsLE's offer to sell $50. 00O. 900
Of Government bonds had been accepted
only to the small amount OF s6.0O0.OOO or
whereabouts, and there was no prospect that
he would DO able to dispose OF any
more His conference on the subject,
at the ub-Trcasury on Monday afternoon.

disclosed tho fact that they took no interest
In his scheme. and were quite willing it
should fail. On Tuesday. however. they
changed their minds. aud. as the result OF
much solicitation and urging. the amount
Of the bonds subscribed for by few lead
ing trust companies and banks had amount
ed by evening to over 1927. 100000. This was
increased yesterday. and. probably. when
the subscription closes at noon to-day. the
whole 100000 will have been taken.
The ostensible reason given for this sud
den change OF opinion on the part OF Mr..
CARLIsLE's new allies Is a patriotic desire TO
protect the Governments credit. How and
why patriotism should dictate completely
with Government official in an open and
daring violation OF law, 1t Ia hard to see.
Mr.. CARLISLE. while nominaly Offering the
bonds In pursuance OF the Resumption act.
makes no secret Of his intention to use the
proceeds. not as that act directs. but in a
totally different manner. Both he and
those who buy the bonds are equally guilty
and equally deserving OF reprobation.
Well-informed people say that It Ia not
patriotism which has dictated this backing
Of the Secretary, but dread OF tho business
trouble which might follow his failure to
sell the bonds. The Treasury, it Is noto-
rious. Is hard up for money. and unless
IL gets 1t from some source. other
than the regular revenues. tho Gov
ernment creditors will have to go I'M
paid. This. it Is feared. may create
panic In the money market. break down
the prices of stocks. and imperil the hun
dreds Of millions Of debts due to the great
financial institutions of the city. This may
be true. but II 1t is true. 1t is no good reason
for supporting the Secretary OF the Treas
ury In a usurpation Of power not conferred
on him by the Constitution and by Congress
