NOTES.

Judge Ewing of Uniontown, Fayette Co.,
this state created quite q sensation in his
court the other dsy by stating that under
the Brooks Law a saloon keeper or hotel
proprietor has no night 70 take drink OF
| iidior. This has led the members of his
Bar to study the Brooks law very closely.
A curious case was on trial this week in
Pittsburg. Some years ago the Chemical
Company, of Narrona, began smelling
certain ores brought to the works, and
extracting metals, copper, gold, etc, from
them. This process generated deadly
gases, which, escaping By the fues and
stacks, killed all the trees, shrubs and grass
in the neigbberhood; and the farmers are
suing the company for damages.
In the case Of the Philadelphia Company
vs. the borough Of FreepOrt, the State Su-
preme Court, decided that the company
has no right to lay its pipes through tue
town.
The United States Supreme Court
knocked some holes in the Income TAX
law. A majority Of tho Court decided
rnat incomes from rents and nstlonal, state
and county bonds, are exempt, and the
balance of the law will stand. One Of the
Judges is sick, and the other eight are
equally divided.
Kizzia Allen has brought suit against
Clarence Dindinger, of ZeiIenople, f"r
damages for the use OF an alleged illegal
fue, and figures the damages at s24lU.
