The trespass case for damages of Mrs. Mary Stavoeki vs. The East Eud Coal company was argued on a motion for a new trial. It will be remembered that this cse was the outgrowth of an accident in the mines of the defendant company at Bennington, whereby the plaintiffs husband lost his life. The plaintiff sued for damages and on the trial at the January courts the court directed the jury to render a verdict for the defendant company.

Judge Bell dismissed the case with the following decision: "The negligence alleged by plaintiffs was the negligence of Tolin, the mine boss. Under all the decisions said mine boss was a fellow servant of Stavoski, the miner who was killed. Tolin had a regular certificate from the mine foreman examining board and there was no evidence of his incompetency, much less of notice to defendants of his incompetency. The motion for a new trial mnt therefore be overruled." York Caramel Company vs. Christ Farez.

This case was tried before an Altoona magistrate, and was brought into court on a writ of certiorari. Several alleged errors in the proceedings were made matters of complaint. The court reserved its decision. The reDort of reviewers for a swinging gate on lands of James McNellis and Mich-nl Tlnnirhertv. in Snvder township, was rainfirmed absolutelv.

The exceptions to the auditor's report of H. Flick, esq in the Will K. Calvert assigned estate were overruled and the re- nort was confirmed absolutely. The assignee of A. Price, of Altoona, wh.h nrdared to file his account.

He contracted a severe cold last October a year, which developed into consumption and caused his death. He did not suffer, apparently, and was able to move about, but it was known to his friends that the disease was prey ing npon him. His death was calm and peacefnl. iustas his life had been. Deceased was born near Philipsburg, Cen tre county, December 2, 1846.

He graduat ed at the Union Theological seminary, where he was a classmate of Dr. J. R. Davies, of New York city. His first charge was a Presbvterian mission station at Mon terey.

Mexico, where he and his devoted wife labored several years and then returned to their home at Philipsburg, where he sup plied various pulpits for a short time and subsequently was stationed at the Presbyterian charges at Saxton, Cherry Tree and Bethany, Wayne county, Pa where he contracted the disease. He came to Huntingdon last August, and has resided here since then with his wife and two chil dren. He was an earnest, faithful minister of the Gospel, and from his childhood was a consistent follower ot the Bavior. Besides his family, he is survived by two brothers, Edmund, in Altoona. and Alfred, of Wash ington, D.

C. and one sister, Jane, also of Washington. Funeral will take place on Friday at 2 p. m. Interment in Riverview cemetery.

Gets Back in the Harness. Mr. H. J. Cornman, the veteran clothing merchant, will again embark in the cloth ing business about the 1st of April, having selected and taken a lease on the eastern room in the new Mateer block, Eleventh avenue between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.

The room is well adapted tor a clothing store and the location one of the business centres of the very near future. Mr. Cornman's business career in Altoona has been a long and honorable one and merchants in the neighborhood in question will be glad to welcome him to their midst. New City Dlreotory.

Common council ordinance No. 587, as-sesMug and levying an annual tax sufficient pay the interest and also the principal, within thirty years, of a certain loan, made io pursuance of the authority granted by the qualified voters of the city of Altoona at an election held on the 221 day of May, A D. 1891, under the provisions of an ordinance entitled "An ordinance to provide for the increase 01 the inaeDieaness oi too city of Altoona in an an amount not exceeding 1 220 000, for the purpose of secur ing and lurnishing an auuitiouai suppijr ui pure water to the citizens and institutions of said citV approved the 14th day of April, A.

D. 1891. On motion of Mr. Currie the rules were suxpended to pass upon all common council ordinances. The same gentleman moved the concurrence of the oidinance as read, which was agreed to.

Common council ordinance No. 584, providing for the annulling of the contract of the city of Altoona with C. F. McCleaster, for the grading of Fifteenth street from the northwest side of Thirteenth avenue to the southeast side of Eighteenth avenue, in the city of Altoona, Pa. The orditance was concurred in on motion of Mr.

Rituey. Common council ordinance 680, providing for the completion of the grading of Fi; toe nth street from the northwest side of a venae to the southeast side of Eighteenth avenue, in the city of Altoona, providing for the payment of the cost and of the same by an equal assessment on the properties abutting thereon, according to benefits and authorizing the city solicitor to petition the court of corn-men pleas for the appointment of viewers to assess the cost and expense of said improvement on the properties abutting thereon according to benefits and appropriating the moneys arising from said assessment to pay for the cost and expense of said grading. Th ordinance was concurred in on motion of Mr. Curiie. Common council ordinance, No.

80, as amended February 7, by striking out that portion of preamble providing tor seventy-live thousand dollars to be used for constructing an electric light plant, and by increasing the amount to be provided for floatinz indebtedness from twenty-five tht. aand ($25,000) dollars to thirty thousand (30,000) dollars, and by striking out the amount four hundred thousand dollars in caption and preamble and three hundred and thirty dollars. Mr. Sink moved to concur in common council's action. 4 r.

Otto was opposed to the present shape of the ordinance. He had made a canvass ac.ong the people and nearly everyone 8D ken to on the subject of a loan wanted a cUuse inserted for the establishment of an electric light plant. The people wanted better light, and, to get this accommodation, the city must erect its own plant. He finally amended the ordinance to make it red $400 000, the increase for the building of the electric plant. Mr.

Currie suggested that the matter be held over. It would not be wise to act hastily ic the matter. The subject was dropped on motion of Mr. Schetfaold to adjourn to meet on Friday nght for final passage. Council then adjourned.

COMMON COUNCIL. Some Important Work. Was Before the Body Last Night. At the adjourned stated meeting of the embers of common council held last night a 1 were present except Messrs. Harney aad Shields.

Mr. Eustace moved the rules be suspended in order to take up ordinances 586 and 589 This was agreed to. Ordinance 586 (as amended), authorizing a id directing the mayor to issue an election for the borrowing of $330,000 fri pay judgments secured for the building c' district sewers, for the proper disposal of sewage, for floating indebtedness, for the erection of a city building and for the ex-fcnguishment of mortgage held by Mrs. Devlin. No sooner had it been read than Mr.

moved to amend by again inserting tLe item of $75,000 for a city electric light ant. After making the motion he pro ct eded to read some figures by which it was sbown that cities furnishing their own light px.y much less per lamp than is paid by ttose who purchase their light from out-si le corporations. Mr. Orner suggested the amount be made $7 ,000, and Mr. Hawk accepted this.

Mr. Canan moved to lay the amendment or. the table. This was seconded by Mr. Breisacher.

This was lost. Then Mr.Steel presented this communica-ticu from Mayor Hoyer: Executive Department, Altoona, Pa February 13, 1895. I'o the President and Members of Select ano Common Council Gentlemen: Owing to the existing financial depression and the fact that a number of our citizens are out of employment, or earning scant wages, it seems to me that it would be wisdom on the part of the people's representatives in councils to confine the amount of the propose i loan to the actual necessities. Tie borrowing of a sufficient sum to pay the tloating indebtedness and providing for the cost ot the building of sewers is imperative and must be done. It is true that the present city building is waolly inadequate for the needs of the city, yet arrangements could be made, for a smaller present outlay, that would carry ns through to better times.

Rooms could be secured for the various city buildings, that would serve every present purpose, for an amonnt that would only reach about one-half the sum of the interest upon $330,000, the figures named in the ordinance before councils for a new building. The question a new building, as well as the erection of an electric light plant, can be reopened at any time in the future, when our financial skies are more propiti-tious. I would, therefore, respectfully suggest to your honorable bodies that the pending loar. ordinance be amended so as to cut out the item of $50,000 for a city building. Respectfully submitted, Hkveb, Mayor.

The motion to insert $75,000 tor an elee-tric light plant was then pat and lost by the following vote: Yjas Messrs. Alloway, Hawk, Manley, Orner and President Shellenberger 5. Nays Messrs. Breisacher, Burket, Canan, Dougherty, Eustace, Howe, Kendig, Ste 1 and Ward 9. Mr.

Kendig then moved to strike out the paragraph relating to a city building. Mr. Breisbacher seconded it but it was lost, as the following vote shows: Yeas Messrs. Breisacher, Kendig, Steel and Ward 6. Nays Messrs.

Alloway, Canan, Dougherty, Eustace, Howe, Manley, Orner and President Shellenberger 8. The ordinance as originally amended was then passed by a unanimous vote and sent to select council. Ordinance No. 689, establishing a highways department in Altoona, was then read and after some discussion was laid on the table on motion of President Shellenberger. Council then adjourned.

OPERA HOUSE NOTES. A Phenomenal Bale of Seats for "Ben Attraction. Ben Hub The sale of seats on each different night's performance of 'Beu Hur" is almost phenomenal. At this same time, however; a number of tickets for excellent seats, especially for to-night and Saturday, are still unsold and the early buyer gets the pick of these. The news received from other cities where this pantomime has been given ia to the effect that the greatest of satisfaction has been the result.

It will be a finished performance from beginning to end and should not be misxed. This is all the more true when the object is taken into consideration local charity. Finnioan's Bai.i. At the opera house next Monday evening. There are few attractions that come to our city that are more welcome than "mnmgan Ball, and if they continue to bring ns as many new ft-atures on each succeeding visit as they have in the past, it will be many a day before we tire of their convulsive comedy and honest hilarity.

There is something iu Murray's drollery that once seen is never forgotten, together with the ridiculous antics of Mack, that entitles them to the proud position they have attained. A wealth of novel specialties are introduced this season that add to the piece. Foremost among them are the stars iu their own ere ations, and th company in a pretty song and dance entitled Flowery Courtship," and umbrella dance by f. ur ladies, a musical tramp, Frank Ltona, Gracie Cumings, the cunning little soabrette in hnr own original songs, and Delmore and Wilson presenting their artistic success, "An Afternoon Visit." There are many in the company with splendid voices, and the medley of popular fancies at the end of the second act is well handled.

Much has been told in this series of articles-enough to dive a fair idea of the extent and importance of the interests of the company here but not all. This would be an ntter impossibility for the simple reason that one would have to keep continually at the ta of telling, because the Altoona shops nd those in their direction are never standing stilLeven in panicky times such as the presenl.bul are continually advancing towlri higher aud stiU higher standard, bath in method and tffioiency. But. having paid somewhat extended attention to the -bops and those more directly connected with them, it is fitting tht those who are in supreme direction should be gaoken of, and thus in natural order we cCme to Mr. John Mather Wallis, superintendent of motive power.

It is the intention to follow the articles which have been written upon the Altoona shops with others relating to Pennsylvania railroad Interests in this city, the idea be ing to show as fully as may be possible the extent cf these interests in Altoona. This is not being done from a spirit of mere vain glory, but in the firm belief that in no other way can Altoona and her interests, which are identical with the Pennsylvania Railroad company, be so well set before the people of the city itself and the world at large. In accordance with the plans of the writer, and with the kindly and cordial cooperation of the Pennsylvania Kailroad cfii Altoona division in its many interesting and important departments will next be treated ot. This will be followed by a comprehensive sketch of the Pennsylvania Railroad division and this in turn Dy the department of Mr.

At the absurdly low price which has been fixed for this lecture the house ootfht to be tilled to overflowing, and the Tribune hopes that it will be, loc only because Mr.

Gilbert deserves a giod audience, but also because the lecture is fur the benefit of the Filth Avenue Methodist Kfiscopal church, which deserves to be liberally patronized.
