O'Brien & Martin.

A. l.. Dunlavey, the South Side man,
who was sentenced at the last term of
court. has been released from Jail on
ball. pending the disposition of an APP
peal In his case.
Dunlavey was tried at the October
sessions before Judge Love, of Belle
fonte. for selling liquor without a
license, and convicted. Afterwards sem
tence was suspended, upon payment Of
the costs. At the December sessions
Dunlavey was again brought before
the court. at the instance of the
Municipal league, the prosecutor in the
case, and Judge r. w. Archibald re-
called the suspension of sentence and
directed Dunlavey to pay fine of $500,
costs and spend three months in the
county Jail. An exception was taken
by his attorneys, O'Brien & Martin.
to this sentence and on this exception
an appeal to the Superior court was
founded. In the appeal the following
is set forth:
Tirst-lt was unlawful and unauthorized in
Hon. r. W. Archibald to impose any sentence
upon the defendant at a subsequent or different
term OF court.
Sccond-The order made by Hon. John G.. Love
above set forth gave the defendant the benefit
OF an election OF the sentence that should be
imposed upon him in accordance with which
he did on October II, 1900, elect by paying tho
costs and it was unlawful for any judge to re-
elect against the defendant at a different aud
subsequent term Of court and impose another and
different sentence upon the defendant.
Third-Thc sentence imposed by Hon. II. w.
Archibald December 3. 1900, when the trial
judge had distinctly said he ought not to be so
sentenced is an overruling OF the decision OF Hon.
John G. Love, the trial judge and unauthorized
and illegal.
Fourth-Thc sentence imposed by Hon. r. W.
Archibald at a subsequent and different term Of
court than the one at which Hon. John G. Love,
the trial judge, had suspended sentence, is un-
lawful, illegal and void.
The application for the appeal was
made to President Judge c. +. Rice
at his home in Wilkes Barre. He al
lowed it to be supersedas and direct
ed that Dunlavey be released on $1,000
bail. This was furnished by NJ. p.
Flynn. The appeal will be heard dur
ing the coming meeting of the court in
this city. The third Monday in Janu-

MONKEY WITH A HISTORY.
Travels Of the Little Simian Who
Heard the Big Guns at Manila.

At least one of the monkeys Of Prof.
Howard's troupe of trained animals,

who is one Of the smallest Of the per-
formers, has not only crossed the
oceans. but has heard the roar Of can
non on mighty battleships In one OF
the greatest naval engagements in
history. 'Jocko" was present at the
battle Of Manila, and while he did not
hear the celebrated remark Of Dewey:

he away" he nevertheless shuddered
at the booming of the great guns
from his place of concealment in the
hold of the Boston. while the guns
of Dewey's tars rained elements of
death and destruction upon the un-
fortunate Spaniards.
"Jocko" on that memorable morn
ing was the property of one Of the
sailors of Captain Wilde's vessel, and
was favorite of all, including the
captain. Upon the return of the crew
to America, the little animal which
had been the pet of the ship became a
white elephant on land. At the New
the tars "Jocko' was a nuisance, and
his owner in sheer despair finally took
him to a bird store and engaged board
for him. Paying the dealer a month
in advance. the sailor kissed his little
friend, and promising to return fin a
week, disappeared. From that day to
this nothing has ever been heard OF
"Jocko's" guardian. After keeping
monk" a year, the dealer finally ac-
cepted an offer from Prof. Howard.
who realized that the little fellow
would be a valuable member of his
company OF entertainers.
1t is said that even now the mon

ment that he will salute at the sound
of cannon is doubted by those who
have not witnessed the performance.

who testified to having found old iron
and brass in their houses. He said
that the company has been bothered
for some time back by n number Of
these women taking stuff from the
dump, and that 1t had been decided to
use stringent methods to break up the
practice.
The alderman placed a fine of IS on
two Of the women and fine of 81 on
the third. They pleaded poverty. pro-
tested their innocence. swore they
would rot In Jail before they would
pay d cent. and said a lot of other
things. but the alderman was un-
moved. They were led off, but got
only as far as the foot of the stairs,
when they came back and settled UP.

CHILDREN MADE HAPPY.
Christmas Exercises at Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church.

The pretty little church of the Holy
Trinity, at the corner of Adams ave-
nue. and Mulberry street, was crowded
to the doors last night with most
enthusiastic audience. which was
greatly pleased at the excellent pro-
gramme rendered by the Sunday school
children, the occasion being the Christ
mas festival
superintendent Il. A. Brader was in
charge and Miss Ida Garagan pre-
sided at the organ. There were
number of pretty choruses rendered by
the school. all being appropriate to
the Christmas season. Several clever
dialogues and recitations were given,
and the evening was brought to fit
ting close by a generous distribution of
gifts from large tree standing on
the platform.

Postponed Until Today.

The hearing of the viaduct iniunc-
tion case, which was to have been held
yesterday morning had to be post
poned until this morning.
1t was found impossible to get the
figures concerning the actual indebted
ness of the city up to date prepared
in time to present to court yesterday
and another day had to bc allowed to
the city controller and city solicitor.
The contention is that the city has
reached the two per cent. limit of in
debtedness not counting the $250,000 Of
bridge bonds voted by the people OF
the city. The figures for which the
court Is now waiting will decide
whether or not his contention is found
founded on fact.

HIS AUTHORITY.

"The transition of q city from one
class to another. under the provisions
of the act of 1889, works no change In
it's government, except such as the
law makes necessary to adjust 1t to
the class into which it "nes; repeals
no ordinances and vacates no offices
except such as are abolished, ani
makes no vacancies to be filled eX-
cept by the creation of new Offices"
"rhis opinion" said Mr. Reedy yes
terday, "refers to municipal corpor-
alton, but q school district IS
a quasi municipal corporation, and
the principle set forth there would
apply to it exactly the same as
to a municipality. The learned judge
sets forth that the transition of
city or school district into a new class
works no change in it's system of gov
ernment except such as the law makes
necessary.
"If the act of 1895 is repealed, there
would be no law making any changes
necessary and therefore 1t seems rea-
sonable to me that we would still
continue to operate under the law
governing cities Of the third class"
Mr.. Reedy believes that no effort
will be made during the coming ses-
sion of the legislature to pass any
general act providing a system of
government for school districts in
cities of the second class. He is con-
fdent that Pittsburg and Allegheny
will make no such effort. He says
that changes may be made in the
special acts governing school affairs
in these two cities, but nothing fun
ther
