VAN WORMER REVERSED
Judge Burlington Took a Different
View of the Keystone Coal
Company Case.

Word was received her yesterday by
Bankruptcy Referee c. a. Van Wormer
of reversal at the hands of Judge
Burlington of his opinion in the Key
stone Coal company's case.
Creditors of the coal company in
May, 1900, sought to have 1t declared a
bankrupt. The company demurred, al
leging that coal company was eX-
cluded by congress from the list Of
parties who might be affected by invol-
untary bankruptcy proceedings. Coun-
sci for the creditors admitted that the
decisions were unanimous in freeing
mining company from the operations of
| this act, but contended that the case OF
| the keystone Coal company was dis
| tinguished from those in which decis-
ions had been rendered, by the fact
| that it was a coal-seling, rather than
a coal-mining company; that the char
acter of its principal business brought
| it directly within the class of traders
| in merchandise.
Referee Van Wormer took this view
and rendered an opinion, of which the
| following is a syllabus:
| Where q corporation leased certain
lands for the purpose of mining and
| tlSi'bSlll VI an todl
| Hereunder, the consideration to be
proportiOnate to the quantity of coal
mined and sold from said land, such
| corporation may be considered to have
purchased the land by the ton. con-
| Nertcd it into a merchantable article,
and sold it with a view of profit, which
constitutes trading and engaging in a
mercantile pursuit, rendering the cor
poration liable to be adjudcated a
| bankrupt"
| An individual engaged in the same
| business as the Keystone Coal COM
pany could be adjudicated a bankrupt
without any question. Congress did not
| intend, Mr.. Van Wormer held. that a
| corporation should be dealt with diff
ferently, in this regard, from an indi-
| |vidual.
| on what ground Judge Burlington re-
verses the referee is not known here
as yet.
In the legal publication containing
the decisions in bankruptcy matters,
the editor says in a foot-note to Ref
cree Van Wormer's opinion that while
it was likely the opinion would not be
sustained by authority, but if it was
not the law it ought to be.
| The case will be appealed to Supreme
court by Judge Willard, attorney for
the creditors.

MERCURY TOOK A DROP.
Within Fifteen Hours the Mercury
Underwent Variation of Thirty
one Degrees in This City.

Scranton is having some typical
Scranton weather. Within fifteen
hours the mercury underwent varia-
ton of thirty-one degrees, reckoning
from go o'clock Thursday afternoon
to $50 o'clock yesterday morning.
Thursdays highest temperature was
81 and the lowest 20. Yesterdays
highest temperature was 66 or four de-
grees lower than the lowest point re-
corded during the previous twenty
four hours.
Weatherman Clarke attributes the
change to disturbance in the Hudson
bay region. There is a vast territory
there without weather stations TO
regulate the elements and when some
thing happens there it happens good.
Conditions all throughout the habited
regions, which contribute in any way
to the connection of our weather. may
give the most reliable indications of
this, that or the other kind on the
morrow, but just about the time the
weather man locks up his office and
goes home secure in the belief that for
one he has forecast Alright, something
happens up in the unobserved Hudson
bay region, the effect of the something
W y
and it is all up with the forecaster's
calculations. Until the British gov
crnment gets somebody that knows
something about how to manage and
report weather. these sudden and un-
expected changes will be our lot.
The rain of yesterday morning,
which played such an important
part in bringing down the, mercury,
was no local shower" 1t began at
. am. and lasted nine hours. 1t was
a very respectable fall at times and
when it was all over the meter on the
roof of the Connell building recorded
a precipitation of three-fourths OF an
inch
The prediction for tomorrow is
slightly warmer. The spring over
coats that were SO generally worn last
evening by parties out for a drive on
the boulevard, can be put back in their
summer quarters. AS matter of pre-
| caution, it might, however, be well
to have handy a linen suit or ulster.

INSPECTION NOT suPERFLuoUs
DIR. Jacob Helmer Believes That II
Isa Good Thing

Dr. Jacob Helmer, member of the
board OF examiners of the state board
of veterinary surgery of this city, when
asked yesterday for an opinion con-
corning DR.. Koch's statement at the
London tuberculosis congress that bo-
vine tuberculosis is not communicable
to man. said that in the absence of
proofs of this startling assertion, he
was not prepared to express definite
opinion at present.
| But he thought that the system Of
milk inspection was by no means super
nuous, even IL the tubercle bacillus of
the COW could not produce disease in
man, because there were many other
diseases of cattle due to various causes,
such as insufficient cleanliness about
the stable and milk houses, bad water,
etc, which still might be commune

EDGINTON IN THE CITY.
Talk with Director of Public Works
Roche About improvements.

Landscape Gardner Edginton was in
the city yesterday in consultation with
Director of Public Works Roche about
the improvements at Nay Aug park.
The idea of locating the 200" on the
east side of the Roaring Brook has
been abandoned, and it will be located
near the old quarry, north of the Null
berry street driveway. A den for the
bears is now being blasted out of rock
there. on the plateau above this will
be the paddock for the deer.
Within a month it is expected that
things will so shape themselves that
work on the aquatic gardens can begin
and also on the obserVatories to be
erected at intervals along the ravine.
1t is expected that all that part of the
park improvements will be completed
this year.

BASE BALL GAME TODAY.
There Will Be Lively Contest at
the Park.

Judging from the interest that has
been manifested i'm the base ball game
to he played this afternoon at Athletic
park, the lovers of the national game
in this city are hungry for that Kind of
sport, and the promoters of the contest
arc aiming to make it contest that

both teams are in the game merely to
have an afternoons sport, and afford
others an opportunity also of witness
ing a good. clean game of ball. Ladies

summer resorts early in the evening.
It possible that Charles Gelbert, the
old University of Pennsylvania favor
ite, will be in the game, if he arrives
home from camp in time.
Mr. Harding, who will pitch for the
ColleGiatcs, Is looked upon as the most
promising tWrler in the city, and he
has already had number of offers
from colleges for next year. With
"Beatty" Williams behind the plate
and David owens ON first base, hc
ought to have excellent support.
Tom and John Brooks have consented
TO play, and John Murphy, the old
Young Mems Christian association and
Georgetown faVorite, will positively APP
pear in center field. In addition to these
well-known players, Arthur Gunster
and Al. Blandin. formerly of Homes
dale, together with Jimmy" Blair
Laurie Bliss, and others will be in the
game.
The Browns anticipate a close con-
test, and have been practicing in earn
est.
