On Monday last Commissioners Sea
ton and Mitchell bf their counsel, pre-
sented paper to ,>@oJt setting forth
their reasons for thu, selection of the
Doerr farm az n Poor Farm and ask
ing the Court to confirm tbe Hlme.
The principal reasons were: lt'
proximity to the county seat, beng les'
than n mile from the Court Hutuaa; 1T
central location; closeness 90 aJ tn'
railroads; comparatively low price y,
| the land when compared to price asked
| for other farms. The farm, they claim,
| is in the highest state of guilty. Ition,
| underlaid with coal and gas; can bC
| easily severed, and can be managed a
| less expense TO the county that nS
other farm offered. On the conclusi OI
Of the reading Of the petition NJ r
Goucher stated that minority repor
was being prepared by Commissioner
| Sutton and asked leave to file it. and
| that day be set for hearing evidence
on the location Of the fam. There was
| considerable talk On the part Of Mr.
| Robinson representing the majority re
| port, and Messrs. Goucher. Williams
| Bowser and Lowry in support Of the
| proposed minority report.
On Monday the minority report find
| ing fault with the location of the Doerr
farm, and commencing that of the
, Stephenson and Younkins farms, up the
, +. q w. was filed, and Tuesday next
was fixed rs the time for the hearing.
The Allegheny County Bar assocl-
| alton took action last Saturday on three
measures now pending before the legis-
| lature the two Magee bills, putting
| prohibitory time limitations on damage
suits against street railways. and the
| McCarrell bill, abolishing the kings
| jury system. The vote on the Magec
bills was unanimously adverse The
outrageous character Of the attempt TO
| give the street railway corporatio n
| something very nearly equivalent TO a
] license TO XII and MAIN ad libitum is
so clearly in evidence that not even
| those legal pettifoggers who live upon
I the bounty Of the Pittsburg ring could
1 summon up nerve enough TO defend
1 the measure in question
] In handling the McCarrell bill, how
ever, the association appears to have let
political sentiment overpower its judg-
ment Although from the tenor Of the
debate on this bill it was manifesto
/ that the majority of the lawyers are
I opposed 10 legalzed jury packing, the
| question Of indorsing the McCarrel bill
! was settled in the negative by close
! vote, the majority taking ths ground
| that. although the kings jury system il
' n noxious thing IL would be mistake
10 let it be abolished at Quay's instance
