Recent Supreme Court Decisions.

Among the decisions handed
down by the State Supreme
Court on Monday last that are of
interest to citizens of Jennings,
we find the following:
Donat Pucheu VS. Town of Jen-
nings.-Syllabus: In case to
which a municipal corporation is
a party and where the questions
to be determined affect the police
regulations of com munity, some
latitude will be allowed in the in
terest of the public, and where
the corporation has failed to es-
tablish an important fact by rea-
son of incompetent evidence, and
it is apparant that competent
evidence is obtainable, the case
will be remanded.
1t is, therefore, ordered, ad-
judged and decreed that the judg-
ment appealed from be amended
by rejecting the demand of the
plaintiff with costs in both courts,
and, as amended, affirmed.

Commander Pillsbury was asked re-
garding his movements, and said that
when he left provincetOwn last Tues
day his fleet steamed directly to sea,
running off some 400 miles. about
southeast of Cape Cod. His plan was
to lay off there until Saturday night
and then try for Salem harbOr. Com
ing Oh the coast Saturday night he had
first thought of making a feint with
one of his ships in the direction Of
Portland, hoping to draw off Admiral
Higginson and the big ships Of his
command in that direction, but as a
heavy sea was running and as his
ships were slow of speed and their
bottoms foul, he decided not to do this
and made his run direct for Salem
harbOr.
The only ship of Admiral Higgin-
sons fleet he saw during the entire
period was the torpedo boat Barney,
which he sighted just about the same
time he found he was discovered by
the remainder of the fleet.

Manv PicketS on Duty.

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 26.-Not since
the Inauguration of the anthracite coal
miners strike have the United Mine
Workers had SO many pickets patrol
ling the Panther Creek valley as was
the case Monday. Every road and path
leading to the collieries was guarded
in an effort TO persuade the nOn-union
men not to 20 to work. No new re-
cruits were added to the working force
and quite number were turned back.
The extra vigilance was due to the ru-
NOR that it is the intention of the Le-
high Coal and Navigation company to
cut coal as soon as sufficient men can
be secured. An official of the company
admitted that practical miners are
hard to procure and that none of the
coal companies is able to operate any
of the mines for this reason.
