THE PROCEEDINGS.

Iii +. Iltl)', tt.DlN
Last Saturday, James ii. Torrcy of
counsel for the Municipal League,
went before court, as attorney for
Mr.. Finn ana moved to quash the
Indictment. Court directed him to re-
new tho motion yesterday morning,
when the three judges would be
present, and the Commonwealth repre-
sented.
When court opened, yesterday, MI.
Torrey renewed the motion and had
W. H.. Taylor. foreman of the last
grand jury testify that the Indictment
against Finn was founded on testi-
TUny adduced in the hearing of the
perjury case against II. G. Hatton; :;
that there was no transcript: that
none of the jurors professed any
knowledge of the case outside of what
they learned in the jury room and that
the jury itself took the initiative in
the matter.
Pre- sident Judge Edwards ordered
the testimony transcribed and said a
decision would be made later. Mr..
Torrey expressed u wish that de-
csion might be rendered before Thurs
day next. when the Finn case is set for
for trial and if the case was to be
tried he would like to have it tried
now.
District Attorney Lewis said he
would like to present some testimony
before the case was finally disposed
OF.
Judge Edwards said the case would
have to go over till argument court.
There was a number of other cases.
he said, hineing on the same point
and the court will want to consider
the mattcn with due care.
TIE OLD FORGE CASES.
The cases referred to by Judge
Edwards are those in which the five
Old Forge councilmen are indicted for
bribery. \ transcript went in allaG-
ing bribery against Frank Silliman. jr..
general manager of the Scranton
Railway company. lie was accused
OF having bribed these five councilmen.
They and number of other witnesses
We're Summoned to substantiate the
charge against Siliman. The jury re-
turned d true bill against Silliman and
likewise indicted the five councimen
on the charge OF receiving bribe's.
The point raised by MIR. Torrey was
raised also by O'Brien Il Martin in
the move to quash the Indictment
against the Old Forge counclmen.
Prominent attorneys who We're
present in court yesterday. We're one
and all positive in the opinion that the
decision involved to free Finn and
the Old Forge men will be efficacious

AN UNExPEcTED DIvIDEND.

To great many people, and doubtless
to some of the holders Of the stock. the
announcement that a dividend of 1 per
cent. supposed TO be a quarterly divi-
dend on the common stock of the United
States Steel Corporation, commonly
called the billion dollar steel trust, would
be paid on Sept. 10 was surprise. When
the corporation was formed it was the
very general understanding that there
would be no dividend on the common
stock in the very near future. Indeed,
the stock was not looked upon as a very
desirable security by those who were
seeking an investment that would yield
a annual return. 1t was expected OF
course that the dividend of per cent.
ferred stock, and the belief seemed to he
that IL 1t paid that dividend and the in
terest on the underlying bonds 1t would
be doing very we'll.
The total amount of the stock is 81, 100-
100000, of which one-half is common and
the other half preferred. According to the
New York Stock Exchange records there
nus pSSn 1SSucus par Ndiue $OOc,fcVouV OF
preferred and $780, 47S. 400 common stock.
The balance of the stock is held in the
treasury. As a dividend OF 1% per cent.
has been declared on the preferred stock
there will be dlsbursed by the trust on
Sept. 10 for dividends on stock 1896, pa
There are about 1904 100000 in bonds out
standing which draw Interest at the rate
of per cent. The amount which the
bonds call for quarterly is therefore, 81
10000. If dividend of l per cent. on
the common stock is paid the quarterly
disbursements for interest and dividends
will be Sls.76S.224, or more than $4,000, 900
a year.
1t is evident that a vast amount of
business will have to be done to earn
that amount net. 1t is to be presumed
OF course that the trust has earned
enough TO pay the quarterly dividends. II
1t had not IT would be doubtful II the
directors would have paid a dividend on
the common stock.
There has. however, been great pros
perty in the steel and iron trade during
the last two or three years and those
engaged in it have made great deal OF
money, but such good times cannot be
expected to continue for a long period of
years. Hard times will come. and then.
the probability IS. the holders OF the
common stock viii get no dividends.

Danger Ahead.

A Manufacturing fellow was once
charged before magistrate with steal
ing a pair of trousers, says London An
swers. The evidence against him not be-
ing strong enough to convict him, he was
acquitted, after a patient investigation
of the case. The accused, however, to
the surprise Of everybody, remained in
the dock.
Thinking he could not hear or did not
understand the magistrates decision, the
lawyer who had been defending him told
him he was at liberty to go about his
business. If he had any. The man, how
ever, shook his head slightly, but did
not move.
You are discharged. Why don't you
go?" asked the lawyer.
By this time the court was nearly emp
ty, and the accused, leaning forward,
whispered to his defender:
Il can't leave the dock till all the wit
nesses against me are gone"
''Why?' asked the man of law.
Because of the trousers answered
the other. Don't you understand
Most certainly I do mott" said the
solicitor. What about the trousers?"
"Only this, sir-Ive got them on!'
