Side Path Law Uncon-
st,tutlOnal.

Judge Simouton, of Harrisburg,
handed down Tuesday an opinion
declaringthe Bicycle Sidepath law
unconstitutional. He says
"The making and maintaining of
streets, roads, sidewalks or sidepaths
of whatever kind are certainly num-
icipal functions; one of the most inn
portant duties of municipalities is to
make and maintain these, and if the
Commission provided for in the act
in question should exercise the pow
ers delegated to them by the act,
they would unquestionably be per-
forming a municipal Junction. We
cannot doubt, therefore, that the ac'
is repugnant of the section of th'
constitution above quoted.
"We are by no means satisfied
that it is not also repugnant % oihel
clauses Of the constitution, but dc
not consider it necessary to deter
mine this. We rest our decision OF
the conclusion we have just stated" !"

parkersburg woman Drowned

Moundsville, w. Va, July 19.-In-
formation was received in this city
yesterday of the death by drowning,
under very peculiar circumstances, of
Mrs. Catherine Kirkbride, of Parkers-
burg.
Mrs Kirkbride was large woman,
weighing probably 200 pounds. She
formerly lived on the farm now owned
by her son opposite Fish Greek Island
on the Ohio side. She has been visit
ing her son, Nathan Kirkbride, for
several weeks.
Yesterday afternoon or last evening
Mrs. Kirkbride went out to a spring
near the house, and must have stopped
down to get some water, and while in
that position fell into the spring. 1t is
five or six feet deep. The unfortunate
woman was unable TO extricate herself
from her position, and could not make
an outcry, as her head was beneath the
surface OF the water. When members
Of the family became alarmed about
her prolonged absence and went out to
search for her they found that she had
drowned.
