CARE OF THE HANDS.

One of the minor ills to which human
flesh is heir when winters chilling blasts
search out and discover weak spots Is
roughness of the skin, particularly of the
hands. The chief reason of this common,
but annoying accompaniment OF cold
weather is that the skin. losing its elias
ticity because OF lack of natural secre-
ton at n time that atmospheric Condi-
tions do not induce perspiration, becomes
unduly dry and contracted and so Is
liable to crack.
Very many persons in cold weather dare
not wash their hands either before going
out or Immediately after coming in, for
if they do, even though the water tney
use be warm, their skin will burn so as

A COSTLY BLAZE.
Superintendent Ferber Says Fire in
Basement of Barriscale's Store,
Was of Incendiary Origin.

A fire, which superintendent II. F..
Ferber. of the bureau of fire, declares
was of incendiary origin beyond the
question Of reasonable doubt, broke
out about 6.45 o'clock last evening in
the basement Of the store at 3l2 North
Washington avenue, occupied by Will
liam j. Barriscale, a dealer in nantels,
tiles and CRATES, and did damage
amounting to about $1,000 before it was
eXtinguished.
Smoke was noticed pouring from the
store windows at the time above men-
toned and an alarm was turned in
from box "a. at Washington avenue and
Mulberry street, and the central city
companies promptly responded.
The fire was blazing away merrily i'll
the basement but the flremen quickly
got it under control and had it COM
pletely eXtinguished within half an
hour.
Mr.. Barrscale, who made an examine
alton Of the premises shortly after
wards, estimated his loss to be about
$500. The mantels stored in the base
ment We're completely destroyed and a
large part of the stock on the main
floor was badly damaged by smoke and
water The building was not seriously
damaged.
Superintendent Ferber said last night
that he was convinced some one set
the place on fire.
"There can be no other theory" he
said. My investigation shows that
there was nothing which could have
started a blaze in the basement. There
was no furnace and no fire of any de-
scripton in the building Certain of
the persons living near the scene of the
fire say they saw a man coming out
of the basement by the front stairs
about 6 o'clock. We have that mans
description and we are looking for

OPINION IN
PAVING CASE
SUPERIOR COURT REvERsEs
JUDGE ARCHIBALD.
The Latter's Opinion Was in the
Case Of the City of Williamsport
Against Nelson A. Hughes-Judge
w. d. Porter, Who Wrote the
Opinion for the Superior Court,
Says the Case Is Not the Same
as That of Sturges Against. the
City Of Scranton.

The superior court, In an opinion
handed down a few days ago, reversed
a decision rendered by Judge II. w.
Archibald IN the case Of the city of
Williamsport against Hughes. This
case was tried by the judge before he
went upon the federal bench.
The case heard by Judge Archibald
was an action In assumpsit brought
by the city of Williamsport against
Nelson A. Hughes, to recover the full
amount Of a paving assessment. Judge
Archibald decided that the city could
not collect because the paving assess
ment was invalidated by. reason of the
contract, which provided for the keep
ing of the pave in repair for a term OF
years. In other words the judge decid-
ed that the property owner could not
be held liable for the cost of keeping
the pave in repair as we'll as for the
original cost of laying it. The opin-
ion of the superior court was written
by Judge w. y. Porter and in part fol-
lows:
The right OF the city to recover is IN.
questionable, unless by the provisions of
the ordinance and tine contract entered
into in pursuance thereof q burden was
imposed on the property Of the defendant
not authorized by law The special pro-
visions Of the ordinance which the de-
fendant contends made the whole ASSESS
ment invalid are found in the following
material parts OF the 11th, 18th and 18th
sections viz: "Section II. That the per-
son TO whom the contract Is awarded
shall be required at his own cost to keep
the pavement in good order and repair
during the period of seven years from
date OF completion. and during said Pc
riod repair and make good at his own
expense and without any expense to
said property owners. all defects in said
pavement due to It's proper use as pub
lie highway"

Section II. The contractor shall erect,

which repairs can be made after the eX-

Might Ruin Pavement.

If property owners We're permitted to
do the repaving OF procure irresponsible
contractors TO do so. costly improve
ment might seen be ruined. The city
may itself do the work. and collect the
cost from the owner The covenant was
one which the city had power to make, II
in the judgment of the authorities it was
necessary to protect the Improvement
and nothing here appears which would
justify MS in holding that the incorpora-
ton of such a covenant in this contract
involved an abuse of discretion.
The questions presented by this record
We're not considered by the supreme court
in the recent case of Scranton witty VS..
Sturges, 2U2 Pa. CT. 1S2. The decision in
that case was that an action OF assump-
sit will not lie for claim of this char
acter, even II 1t will be well founded on
a legal demand, The facts in that case
are thus stated in the opinion of the su-
preme court, viz: 1.-The defendant paid
his assessment of the original cost COT
the pavemenU but refused to pay for re-
pairs; before the expiration of the five
years, the city for the benefit OF the con-
tractor brought this suit in assumpslt
against the defendant to recover his
ratabe portion of the cost of those re-
pairs" 1t thus appears that what was
there decided was that, when an owner
of abutting property has paid his share
of the original cost of the pavement,
there can be no recovery against him In
an action of assumpsit for his ratabe
portion of the cost of repairs subsequent
ly made.
The judgment is reversed and judG-
ment Is now entered in favor of the plain
tiff and against the defendant in the sum
Of three hundred and sixty-five dollars
and thirty-one cents. with costs.
