This year, in the regular succession, it
is again the turn of the democrats to
carry Indiana. There is no state in the
union where the Porto Rican policy of
the republicans in congress evoked such
bitterness and lasting hostility in the
party as Indiana. President McKinley's
retrocessiOn in civil service reform has
aliensted from him the independent
vote which helped to give him the state
four years ago. The Nicely defalcation
scandal further discredits the admins
tration.
1t is worthy of remark that the cleo
toral vote of Indiana, like that of New
York, has been cast for every success

MAYOR WILL NOT
HAVE APPEAL TAKEN
Decision Is Expected Next Week in
the McKeesport Case Which
Will Rule Local Case

Lieutenant of Police Michael Spell
man and Patrolman l. Il. Jones, who
on Monday were awarded a verdict for
salary due them from the date of their
removal last spring, have not yet been
paid, nor will they for some time. The
city is allowed twenty days to appeal
from the ruling of the lower court, if
a stay of execution is desired. 1t is
not believed that Mayor Moir will ap-
peal this case, inasmuch as decision
from the Supreme court in the Nc
Keesport case. which combines all the
features of the local case. is expected
next week.
The recent case of Spellman and
Jones against the city brought up an
interesting question, which was dis
cussed yesterday in the city clerks
office by several interested parties. 1t
will be remembered that when Dyer
and Saul We're removed from the police
force in the summer of 1899, City Solic-
itOr Vosburg was asked for an opinion
as to whether the mayor could remove
without the consent Of select council
or not. Mr. Vosburg sent in an opinion
which uneQuivocally stated that the
consent of select council was absolutely
IlcCtSSuIy Utiolc IL pOliccIHtill Soulu NC
legally removed from the force.
When the case of Spellman and Jones
came up in court on Monday he was
obliged to defend the city. despite the
fact that he had declared over his own
signature what meant in effect that
Spellman and Jones were legally en-
titled to the salary which they We're
suing for. 1t was an exceedingly awk-
ward position to place any man in.
The suggestion which was made when
this matter was discussed came from
City Clerk Lavelle, who generally all
ways has common sense ideas on
municipal matters. He suggested that
when councils in the future have occa-
sion to ask the solicitors opinion on
any matter which may be the future
cause of lawsuit against the city,
that they should refer the question to
a committee, instructions to secure
the solicitors verbal opinion, and then
formulate a report based on this opin-
ion.

THE SCRANTON TR1BUNE-sATURDAY NOVEMBER IT, 1900


only on January I, 1901, but on the day
the ofiicials-elect were chosen.
Another case quoted in support of
this contention is McCleary, appellant,
against Allegheny county (16S Pal.
The plaintiff was sheriff OF Allegheny
county. He was elected November 4,
1890, and entered upon his duties the
first Monday of January, 1891.
The Office had been receiving fees,
but the sheriff's share of the fees was
less than the amount OF salary, $4,000
per ann,im, which the Act OF 1888 al
lowed for counties having a population
OF over 100000.
Acting on the assumption that his
county had more than 100000 popula-
tion. the sheriff refrained from taking
the fees, as had been the wont Of his
predecessors. but instead turned them
over to the county treasurer, and then
made demand from the county COM
missioners, monthly. for one-twelfth of
the yearly salary of $4,000. In July,
1891, he brought suit for seven months
salary.
While admitting the office was a SAL
aried one, the county denied that the
amount of the salary was fixed for AL
legheny county by the Act of 1888, but
instead, alleged that 1t was fixed by a
special act OF 1872, passed for Allegheny
county before the adoption of the new
constitution. BY this special act the
sheriff's compensation was $4,000 and
mileage
QUESTION RAISED.
The only question raised in the case
Is whether the general act of 1883
supersedes by implication the special
Allegheny county Act of 1872. The
Supreme court held that 1t did, and de-
cided that the sheriff was entitled to
the $4,000 salary, instead of a salary Of
$4,000 and fees for mileage. providing
1t was shown that the $4,000 did not
exceed the total amount Of fees COL
lected by or for the sheriff, a limitation
prescribed by the new constitution.
1t Is to be inferred from the fact that
the sherffs suit was brought for seven
months salary. that the census of the
county was not announced until July,
1891. If this inference is correct. there
is no question but that the Supreme
court has decided, at least, Indirectly.
that the census figures are to be an
piled to the time of the census taking
rather than to the time of the an
nouncement. When we recall how late
the announcements OF the 1890 census
were in coming. it is fair to presume
that Allegheny county's population was
not announced until some time we'll
along in 1891, and probably somewhere
about in July.

A jury from Judge kellys court
went out yesterday afternoon to wres-
tie with the question Of the guilt or
innocence OF William Craig, who is
charged by II. s. Fox, the birdman.
with malicious prosecution.
Mr.. Craig had Mr. Fox arrested for
stealing his dog, but the grand Jury
ignored the .bill. when 1t was shown
that the dog was exhibited in the de-
fendant's store window for several
days, and as this was to Mr.. Tox',s
mind sufficient proof that there was
no probable cause for the action. he
proceeded to have Mr.. Craig arrested
for malicious prosecution.
To secure O. conviction in q malicious
prosecution case, 1t Is necessary to
show that there was no probable
cause for the arrest and that it was
prompted by malice. A good and ac-
ceptable defense is that the action was
brought under the advice of an at
torney. Mr.. Craig made this defense.
Colonel f. J. Fitzsimmons, he states,
was his adviser. A verdict in the case
will likely be returned this morning.
The jury in the case of r. r. Gins
burg & Son against The Scranton
Railway company, came in yesterday
morning with a verdict for the plain
tiff in the sum Of $50.
A verdict for the plaintiff was di-
rected by Judge Archibald in the cease
of Mrs. l.. e. Grosvenor against 3.
j. Cook and others. The PLAINTIFF
claimed a one-fourth interest in lot
Of land in Scott township occupied by
the defendants. The case hinged on
the construction Of the terms of q
deed and Judge Archibald construed 1t
to favor the plaintiffs contention.
Attorney George d. Taylor repre-
sented the plaintiff and Attorneys c..
II. Gardner and Everett Warren, the
defense.
The case Of Henry j. Spruks against
Fred Weyandt was called before Judge
Archibald yesterday afternoon. c. S.
Woodruff and Il. A. Zimmerman rep
resented the plaintiff. w. 8. Hulslan-
der and S. B. Price are the defendants s
counsel The question at issue is
whether Weyanat or his wife was the
owner of q lot in Petersburg at the
time it was purchased by Spruks.
A verdict Of $234.3% was directed in
Judge Archbald's court in favor of the
plaintiff, in the case Of ]. Audrade &
Co., of New York, against Sophia
Breschal. The suit was for lot Of
ostrich feathers. The defendant put
in no appearance. Attorney James II.
Torrey represented the plaintiff.
Judge Archibald refused rule for a
new trial in the case of J. T.. Cross
against the Barber Asphalt company.

creased from $40 TO $780, and the
brakemen from Sl.65 to $1.70. The en-
gineers and firemen will receive no in
crease. The local railroaders are happy
and claim that the increase is merited.
as they have the hardest work on the
line. The queer thing about this in
crease is that the branch men never
made any demands, whereas the Wyo-
ming and main line men have been
seeking an increase for some time, but
have not received it.
A railroader from the Wyoming di-
vision, in conversation with reporters,
stated that the raising of the branch
men and ignoring the demands of the
other divisions brings the question TO
an acute stage, These men have been
expecting a raise for some time and
are yet confident of receiving 1t, II not.
then another demand in more forcible
language will be made upon the ofic-
falls. Last evening We ascertained that
