ported as follows:
WHEREAS, recently death has taken from
among US Martin L. Trimmer, who for
many years was practitioner at the
Huntcrdoh County Bar, and whereas,
it is proper that suitable minute
sbonld be made relative thereto there
fore,
ReSotgeLi, That In his death the bar has
lost one who WAS honored and respected
en- his profession, and one who was highly
esteemed as citizen in the community
in which he lived
ReSoi0ed, That we have noticed with
great solicitude during the last few years
the evidence of his suffering with o
wasting disease which he bore with great
fortitude, and which we hoped he would
overcome, but 1t was ordered otherwise,
and we can only bow with humble sub
mission 10 the orderings Of an all wise
Providence.
ResolUed, That this action be spread
upon the minutes of the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES A. SKiLLMAN.

Committee.
Short euloglstic addresses were made
on the faithful services Of the late Ser
at - a..
Rittcnhousc. Mr.. R.tlenhouse held this
position since 1885, and performed hi'
duties in quiet and unostentatious man
ner which proved very effective.
The list OF causes was next reviewed
No. on the Supreme Court list being
William Mongan vs. Prudential Insur
ance Company of America. On motor
of r. s. Kuhl, attorney for defer dan
company, this case went of for the tern
ON the grounds OF the absence of ma
teriai witness for the defence.
No. Q. Abram S. Case vs.. Central r.
II. of N. j. The plaintiff in this case
brought suit 10 recover $3.50, the value oi
Elk horses which were killed by the de.
fendant company on the South Branch r.
X. on May 6, 1895. On motion of coun,
sci for defendant, the plaintiff was non
suited on the ground OF contributory neg
ligence; that is, that the horses Of the
plaintiff had no right to be on the track
of the defendant company and were tres
passers thereon, and therefore, the COM
pany was not liable for their killing.
No. 8. Rachel Beavers vs. Henry d.
Sharp and David b. Sharp. This was an
action on Contract. 1t was shown by
counsel for the defendants that this case
was improperly on the list, owing TO the
fact that all the necessary papers had not
been filed. Ii therefore went Off for the
term.
No. 4. Patrick Corrigan VS.. Patrick
Malone. This was Lien Claim and was
settled out of Court.
No. 2 on the Circuit List was John
Smith vs.. The Taylor Iron and Steel Co.
This was an action brought by the plain
tiff 10 recover damages for an injury
sustained by him on November 28, 1894,
while in the employ Of the defendant
Company. He was assisting a fellow
workman in sliding car wheels from the
furnace into pool OF water. The water
is supposed TO be kept constantly running
into and out OF this pool or tank in order
TO cool the wheels quickly. On this oc-
casion the water had been shut off by the
foreman and soon became hot, sending out
steam in sufficient quantities TO fill the
room and the plaintiff claimed tina. owing
10 this he could not see where he was go
ing and stepped into the tank scaldiug his
for the defendant Company moved to non
suit tue plaintiff on the ground of con-
tributory negligence in that he, the de.
fendani, knew full well the danger of his
position and should have used more care
10 haedling the car wheels. The Court
granted the motion and thus relieved the
jury from further consideration of the
case.
On Thursday morning No. on the
Circuit list, George Saams VS.. David and
William Simerson was taken up. This
was an action in Replevin.
Before the jury was impanneled in this
case Justice Gummere appointed Charles
F. Shrope 10 the position of Sergeant-at-
