THE LOG CASES
Tried at Neto Blo0mfeld Decided
az EdyOr Ofthe PLAINTIFFS.

There is considerable uneasiness
in Williamsport amongst the mem
bers Of the West Branch Lumber.
mans Exchange and other lumber
men, by reason OF the suits Just
tried this week in New Bloomfield,
Perry county, in which the log
catchers along the Perry county
side of the river We're the plaintiffs
and the exchange the defendant
The catchers OF the logs CLAIMED
fifty cents log, while the exchange
only agreed TO pay them fifty cents
IL thousand feet There can be no
doubt the Act Of Assembly provides
clearly that for all logs caught above
the mouth OF the North Branch, st
Northumberland, there shall be paid
but fifty cents a thousand feet, and
it is quite as clear that for all logs
caught below that point the owners
must pay fifty cents IL log, or about
S3. 80 per thousand feet, and this
was the view adopted by Judge
Lyons in the case just tried. and
the jury found accordingly and for
the reason these cases are the only
ones thus far tried, the commotion
in lumber circles exists. Hon.
Charles Hover, of Selinsgrove, and
ex-Judge Barnett, Of New Bloom
field, represented the log catchers,
while the exchange was represented
by Attorney General Mccormick,
eI-Judge Bucher and ex.Judge
Junkin, and the cases were the most
hotly contested of any before thi,
court for years, with victory fol-
the people. OF course, the case viii
be carried to the courts of last re
sort, but there can be but little OF
any doubt of the the final con
clusion. the law beiEz clear on thu
subject.

over, was found to have received only
one vote. The candidates mortifica-
ton was extreme. and to increase his

given that one vote himself.
This annoyed him SO much that he of

VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
Smalley States That the Negotiations
Are at StandStiiI.

| LONDON, April 21.-The Times"
will tomorrow publish long dispatch
from G. w. Smalley, its correspondent
| in America. which is devoted to dis
relling the illusions that the Venezuelan
| boundary dispute has passed a dan
/ gerous stage; that the negotiations are
prospering, and that the British blue
| book on the subject created favorable
| impression in the Unitec States
Mr.. Smalley says that not one of the
! foregoing beliefs is well rounded No
| agreement as to principles has been
reached, and negotiations are at a
standstill. Nobody seems to know when
or how they will be renewed or the
deadlock removed. If the American
! commission draws the Venezuelan
boundary adverse to Great Britain's
claim, the alternative stated in Presi-
! dent Cleveland's message will have to
be faced
/ Mr.. Smalley casts the onus for this
on Lord Salisbury. who rejected the
proposition made by the Washington
Government in February, and who does
not appear to have made counter-pro-
posals.
! The dispatch dilates upon the reasons
for prompt action, for it says the uncer-
tainties are many and the perils grave.
| The Times" commenting on the dis
| patch, will tomorrow say it canntI
| fully share the gloomy anticipations
contained in the dispatch, although the
reminder is not, perhaps, untimely 1t
contends elsewhere in his dispatch Mr..
Smalley shows that Lord Salisbury has
taken other action for opening another
scheme for general arbitration, to which
the paper attaches importance It
also contends that if the general project
fails, Great Britain ought now to be
able with prudence to resume the spe.
