THE QIO WARRANTO.
Sussex Court Cannot Issue Writs on
People in Kent.

The Attorney General has obtained a
rule from the Superior Court of Kent
county, on John W. Green, member of
the Levy Court Of Sussex County, from
Seaford hundred, to show cause why a
writ of quo warranto should not be issued.
This is the case which came up in Sussex
County about two weeks ago, and in the
meantime Green has left the county and
is now in Kent county.
1t has been decided by the Court of
Appeals in this State that mandamus
could not be granted in Sussex county
against an inspector Of elections in New
Castle county.
1t is decided in the case of Knight vs..
Ferris: "The writ Of quo warranto is in
the same sense a prerogativc writ, and the
same rule and principle in respect to the
place where writ Of quo warranto shall
issue and be determined applies equally
to u writ Of mandamus. Now suppose Il
writ OF quo warranto was proper to be
issued against any OF the public officers
in New Castle county, as for instance
the Clerk Of the Peace, or suppose it was
necessary to issue such writ in Il proper
case against corporation in New Castle
county, could it be imagined for Il mt
ment that the writ should be issued any.
where else than in New Castle county.
Why not? For the very simple reason
that the cause of action could not arise
anywhere else than in that county,"
This decision was handed down by the
late Chancellor Salisbury in case which
was fought on the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction

Speaking From Experience.

While strolling along the street Satur-
day afternoon, u representative of THE
SuN joined the crowd that was thronging
into the wax works exhibition of Mr..
Frank Chevalicr. The building No. POO
Market street and all the surroundings
are neat and clean, and show that the
proprietor aims at catering to the best
class Of citizens. The first object to
meet the gaze Of the visitor is the repre-
scntation Of IN execution in Spain. Next,
one is attracted to the old French mode
Of dispatching criminals, true picture
in wax Of President Carnot's assassin
Santo. The next scene wildly p0rtrays
the Canadian method, viz hanging
One cannot but wonder at the skill and
ingenuity of man a. exemplifed in the
works which Mr.. Chevalier exhibits.
We would have no hesitation in criticiz-
ing the exhibition did it deserve critic
ism, and when we find it merits appro-
baton we are always and ever ready to
give credit where credit is due.

LEwEs, Del, Oct. 27.-The fury of the
storm of the past four days at this place
is steadily on the decrease and with in
dications that the force OF the gale has
been spent. Small boats have been land
ing from the vessels in the harbor to-day
and the general expressions OF those who
passed through the storm on the water
tend to pronounce it the severest gale
since the disastrous September 1889,
storm; some going further and declaring
it equal in violence to that memorable
period of marine history. Although the
wind has abated to an ordinary strong
blow, yet the seas are still running dan
gerously high and it is not expected that
travel on the deep will be very comfort
able for several days.
Tales of suffering and impending loss
OF life from the prolonged hurricane are
expected to be reported by all incoming
vessels for the next week. There is a
large fleet of steamers bound here for
orders, and number OF them are over
due, and have no doubt been driven off
or probably sunk with all on board, and
possibly no tidings will ever be received
from some Of them. No new disasters
haue been reported to-day. The large
tides have cut such deep gullies from the
ocean to the low lands ON the beach
below the point Of Cape Henlopen that
they are impossible, and the life station
patrol cannot make full beat. The fiat
land lying between Lewes and the shore
is still covered with about three feet of
water, and the residents OF Hugheyvllc
are living in their second stories, while
their streets are rivers, and boats are the
means of travel.
The Old Dominion Line steamer, Rich

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-04-19

Judge Albright, of Lehigh county,
last week rendered and important opin-
ion. Last December city councils pass
ed an ordinance imposing a tax of $500
per month in advance on any one OPEN
ing a transient store in that city. This
ordinance was similar to the one adopted
here over a year ago. There had been
a number of bankrupt clothing sales
opened, which continued but few
weeks. The local merchants objected
and the ordinance imposing the above tax
was introduced, passed and signed by the
mayor. Charles Delany representing
Baltimore firm, arranged for sale of
bankrupt clothing. He was arrested for
failing to comply with the ordinance.
Delany applied for writ of habeas cor
pus and Judge Albright heard the
motion.
Counsel for defendant contended the
law was unconstitutional, because it was
against the Interstate commerce law and
because no maximum fine was imposed
which would practically permit magis-
trate to coniscate all of defendants
property. A similar case was tried
before Judge Scott in Easton and Judge
Albright, following his decision, decided
the law unconstitutional.
