LAW OF THE UMBRELLA.

The law us tt umbrellas was settled
once for all by Lord Coleridge in a lead.
ing English ease. His Lordship held:
Umbrellas, properly considered, are
a part Of the atmospheric or meteoro-
logical condition, and, as such, there
can be no individual property right in
them. In Sampson VS.. Thompson de-
fentdant was charged with standing
on plaintiffs front steps during a storm
and thereby soaking up a large quanti-
ty Of rain to which plaintiff was enti-
tied. But the court held that the rain
was any mans rain, no matter where 1t
fell. 1t follows, therefore, that the
umbrella is any mans umbrella. In all
ages rain and umbrellas have gone to-
gether. and there is no reason why they
should be separated in law. An UNI
brella may, under certain circum-
stances-the chief Of which Is posses
sion-take on the attributes Of personal
property, just as IL q man set a tub and
catch a quantity Of rain water. that
rain water will be considered as his
personal belonging while 1t is in his
tub. But If the sun evaporate the wa
ter and it is rained down again, or IL
the tub is upset and the water spilled.
then the attribute Of personal owner
ship instantly disappears. So II q man
hold his umbrella in his hand it may he
considered a personal belonging, but
the moment it leaves his hand It re-
turns to the great, general, indivisible,
common stock Of umbrellas, WHITTIER
the law will not attempt to pursue It."

been a successful appeal from this de-

RAILWAY TAX ARREARS.
Mayor Hoos Urges Speedy
Trial of Erie and Central
Suits.

Mayor Hoos sent a letter to Corporation
Counsel McDermott today asking him 10
bring to trial the suits pending against
the Central and Erie Railroads for the
recovery of back taxes. The Mayor fire.
quently urged ex-Corporation Counsel
Blair to make a move against the COM
pany, but he neglected to do anything.
The city's claim against the Central Rail-
road as adjusted is $61S, 576.9 sc. In addition
there are accrued liens a~ggregating $24.-
GO7.76, making the ~company's total in
d~ebtedness to the city $3.50. 14.72.
The claim against the Erie Railroad as
adjusted is s434, 1851 The accrued liens
are s227, o57 50. in all 1852. 026.01. The sum
| owed the city by these two corporations
! alone is 81, $50. 21o. "a. Corporation Counsel
| McDermott, upon receipt of the Mayors
letter, said he would look into the cases
at once. He has no doubt, he says, but
that he will be able to collect every dollar.
In the event Of the collection of the
money Mayor Hoos will insist that it be
utilized in retiring tax arrearage bonds
to the full amounts. The retirement of
| bonds to the extent of a million and a
half dollars will ave the city $4,000 In
terest. The Mayor hopes to recover from
the companies before the next tax levy
is made, SO that tax burdens may be re-
duced.
This year the city will get $114,00 o. adj
ditional from the State for taxes on the
railroads. His Honor says there will be
good cause for rejoicing if he gets all the
money there is in sight. Taxpayers will
profit by the collection to the fullest ex-
tent" said the Mayor his morning.
