Rev. w. J. sinnott. of the presbytery

before the assembly and ask a rehear-
ing of a case in which the presbytery
was made the defendant. Mr.. Sinnott
protested because the presbytery had in
dorsed the proposed prohibition amend
ment, and had urged its members to
support it. The minister's complaint
against the presbytery was referred to a
commission, which declined to sustain the
complaint and at the same time repri-
manded Mr., Sinnott for his position A
rehearing of the case was sought last
year by Mr. Sinnott but it was ruled out
of order. 1t is expected that several over

measures. And the drummers are very
regretful. The business sessions are
held behind locked doors, but a trust
worthy member gave the reporter most
valuable information.
He said it was proposed that a rule
be passed requiring hotel keepers to
bar horsehies from sleeping rooms be-

hours, say the travellers, are those when
sleep is sweetest and most necessary,
and the presence Of a horsefy in the

by counsel for coal companies in tho

taken the Court fixed January 4 as the

State Treasurer we're selected from
about sixty. They were the Aldan
Coal and the Plymouth Coal Com.
panies. operating in Luzerne county.
and the st. Clair Coal Company
operating in Schuylkill county.
II was contended by counsel for IN,
companies that the tax is on one kind
OF commodity and therefore not uni

special legislation and that prellmi
narles In advertising required for such
acts were not complied with and that
the coal appraised was out Of the State
when valued at the close Of the calen.
dar year for taxation. II was also con.
tended that the method OF distribution
OF one-half of the revenue to counties
producing coal was inequltabe because
townships which do not mine coal will
share to greater extent In some cases
than those which have mines in active
operations.
Attorney General Bell and Deputy

defended the constitutlonality Of the

their mines was nearly all shipped out
