Aldermnnle Ienerancp.
The ordinary alderman Las no Ills
hele jalre. .the .pcqulaltlen of business
And feAVancTin pursuit of thorn he
Adepts as his fundamental maxim that
judgment must alwayB be nlven for the
plaintiff, whom he regards as his client,
jjfe Judgment Is tee absurd for him te
vender, It belug saved in his estimation
by his fees, nbeut which there la no nb
uuidlty. The JubUce of the peace, In fine,
generally, with a few honerablo excep
tions, is nothing but a fee squeezing
creature , and aome of thorn in this town
have nursed the business te a very pro
fitable slze. They knew nothing that
they can avoid knowing and nre espe
cially ignorant of the law they are sup
posed te administer. Their Judgments
When npjwnled from generally fall i
about which, however, they care nothing
nlnce they get thulr fees paid bofero the
appeal can be taken ; nnd they don't
even take enough interest In the right or
wrong of the case they have decided te
Inquire into its adjudication In the
higher court.
Mr. Alderman Spurrier, one of these
loe-pursuers, n while age, undertook te
bring down the penalties of the city or
dinances upon seme people who cut
down certain poles In front of their
beuses, which had been put up by the
Maxim electric light company, aided
nnd abetted by Harry Diller, of
the lamp committee, the poles
being Intended te sustain the wires
supplying the electric lights. Mr.
Alderman Spurrier get the citizens be
fore him, and summarily deciding that
they had violated the ordlnance, under
took te iropeso the penalty. Judge Pat
terseu decides that the go-d alderman
mixed things up very badly. He made
a very "dofective and slovenly
record," and does net seem te have
get anything right. He started out
with a suit, as though by an In
former, for " a plea of violation of city
ordinances." Then he drepjed the in.
former and made the city sole com
plalnant. That lie could net de the
judsjOEajs : and moreover that the action
Bheuld have been In debt, there being no
such plea knewu te the law .us violation
of city ordinances. And, then, when the
honorable alderman came te describe
the ordinance that was violated, he
didn't describe it at all, but
get held of the wrong ordlnance and
section entirely. And even if he
had get the right one, the judge says,
the case would net have been made out,
us that puts a penalty en cutting down
lamp pests ; and poles that carry electric
wires de net seem te be pests bearing
lamp3 Altegetber, probably the distin
gulshed Alderman Spurrier's com
edy of errors was exceptional in
absurdity even for an alderman, ex
ceptienal as th03e fee-rooters are In
their capacity te go wrong. The wise
alderman and the wise lamp committee
and.their wise lawyers may net enjoy, as
much as de their fellow-citizens, the
judicial exposure made of the absolute
silliness pervading their undertaking te
held citizens te account for removing a
nuisance from their premises, but it will
net hurt their feelings much ; being as
thick hided as headed fellows.
The Status or Voters.
The Philadelphia lltcurd is entirely
right when it says the assessment of
citizens for vetlug purposes tlve months
before they can exercise the vetine
privilege Is one of the absurdities of our
Pennsylvania law. "There is no reason
why the voting list should be made out
se far In ndvauce of necessity. Under
the constitution any citizen who has re
sided iu an election district two months
before au election has a right te vote. If
he moves into the district three months
before election his name is net en the
assessment list, and he may be put te
considerable trouble before he can obtain
his right. An assessment at a later
period than Is new provided for would
reach his case." The llecerd might
reasonably go further in its recemraen
datlen of au Improved registry law,
and urge that the right of
voters te their suffrage should be
scrutinized by proper legal process nnd
finally determined at a llxed time, say
ten days befere the election. On th0
day of the voting and by u partisan
beard of election elllcers are almost the
worst time and place of determining the
rights of voters. It is tee utten
done unfairly and under excitement
and the remedies for the private and
public wrongs done by the wrongful ex
elusion or acceptance of votes are treu
bleseme and expensive.
The proper method would be for the
beard of election elllcers or seme ether
beard at some time after the last day for
paying taxes, when every voter's
status 's fixed, te prepare mid pest
n complete list of all qualified voters,
subject te appeal te tne court nnd
revision by it, he that in geed time before
the o'tctlen polls open there might ,
publicly posted and in the hands of thoii theii thoii
cenducting the election a full list of all
the qualified voters in the district ; all
en It should vote without question, and
none ethers. There would be no hard
uhlp in this ; every legal voter would have
mere facility te prove his rights than he
has new en election day, nnd much bitter
ness and recrimination that prevail new
at the polls would be prevented. Pelltl
clans would have Uss trouble and the
average voter would be subject te no an
noyance nor danger of unlawful depri
vation of his rights.

Friday nftorneou, Nine persons wero
buried in the ruins, six of whom wero
taken out dead, terribly emitted and
mangled. The ethor thrce are badly Injured
The fall of the great building was heard for
squares, nnd instantly the wildest oxcito excito oxcite
metit prevallcd lu that busy section of the
city. The groundless report spread that
forty young girls had beeu employed en
the upper tloer aud had geno down in the
debris. A tire alarm was sounded and the
hook nnd ladder companies quickly arriv
ed. The stene front of the bulldiug had
euly partly fallen, and three stories of the
right side of it steed tottering, throateulug
te fall every instant. Mr Theodere Heep
er, n momber of the tirm, who had narrow,
ly escaped through the rear deer hurried
ly informed the elllcers nnd firemen that
at least n dezn persons wcre iu the
wrecked building when it foil, seme of
whom might be saved.
Uescue was a perilous undertaking, ns
the rear wall and the remaining portion of
the front swayed in the wind ; the chief of
the tire department reluctantly gathered
his men tegether for the work. A number
of the brae fellows, together with several
pohce officers and citizens eluutecred te
sve thebutied suffe.ers. The remnant
of the front was temporarily prepped up
with heavy timber from the street, ami the
tlremcn useeuded a ladder te the second
story.
Near a freut wind a w they bheld yeuug
Benjamin Greenwood iving beunath a mass
et bricks, heu and mortar, his face aud
head protruding. " Fer OvkI's sake, save

eruhtd."
While euc of the tlromen fanned him and
administered stimulants, the ether dug
away at the debris. Fer two hours he lay
iuageuy with tens of weight upon him
Finally the tlremeu succeeded iu rescuing
him, net badly injured after all. Wheu
he was takea out the thousands of people
who had gathered in the streets cheered
the rescuers te the echo. GrecuweaJ was
n elerk for Leng A Dugdale, fertilizer
agents iu the second story of the building.
He had rushed toward the window te jump
out when the crash came, but was caught
by tlu falling mess.
The list of the killed is as follews:
Mortimer Lithicum, cashier for W. E
Heeper A Sens, 22 years old, uumarried.
James Kelly, clerk for Heeper fc Seus, 31
years old. Kennett M.teLsa, traveling
salesman for Leng & Dugdale, 20 years
old, unmarried. Gildca Heek, shippiug
clerk for Lmgfc Dugdale, 24 years old,
uumarried. Edward Bewen, cobred
porter, leaves a wife .iud three children.
James Bawen, 11 years old, son of Ed

With the exception of Groenwoed the
jeung raeu killed were gathered in Hoop Hoep Heep

the party says that when I hey felt theJ
euuaing tromeio tuey etartcu toward tue
front, but had net gotten a dezen feet
when down came the tbers ; be was taken
out with f.reat difficulty, bis companions'
bodies being found near him.
Te get at the body of ene of the clerks
the firemen, hoping the peer fellow was
still alive, dug through two walls from an
adjoining warehouse. When they reached
him, alter three hours' labor the body was
warm, but life was extinct.
The accident was caused, it is thought,
by the great weight of hundreds e pounds
of cotton duck stored ou the fourth 11 oer.
The building, however, was considered ene
of the most secure in the city, as it was a
massive structure apparently in excellent
condition. The lea te prepsrty is estima

In the case of the city of Laucastervs.
Abraham Htrsh, ele of the eivil suits
growing out of tlie cutting dewu of the
electric light poles, certiorari from Alder
man Spurrier's docket, Judge Pattcrseu
has tiled an opinion reversing the alder
roan's judgment against defendant. The
essential part of the opinion reads ru fel
lows :
The action in this cue, whether or net
sustainable, becauss of it beiuga 'iu tun
action, if brought for violation of See. 3d
of ordinance of 1th of January, 1825,
(under head of "Lamps,' page U2, of ordi erdi
nance book), the only ordlnance or hcctien
we eau disoef or, which seems te have any
reference te tbe act charged te have beu
committed by the dofendaut, the cnalty
iullicted by said section going in part te
the informer, and part te the city, the in
former should have hacn named as plaia.
tifl j suing for hnncelf as well as for tlie
city of Laucaster.
The alderman's transcript rccitcx, that
defendant "has violated the previsions of
the city ordinances, sec. 3d of March 1 lib,
1303, by having out down or caused te be
cut down au oleotrio light pole erected en
North Duke street, iu said city, by au
therity of plaintiff the city of Lancaster
ter the purpose of lighting the streets el
sildetty."
New it has been held that in a v"i ram
action bofero an alderman fertliu violation
of an ordir.an:c,the record must show- what
the ordinance is the subitance of it, at
leaat,eneub for the court te dotermiio that
he had jarisdiotien if net in hae verba,
should be designated by uumber, section
or date of pasBage," 3d Pareeus ; . cases
232 ; Fialey vs. Sparks.
In all theso particulars, ruled te be es
sentials, the alderman's record is octirely
wanting.
The ordlnance of " soe. 3rd of March 11
1S0S," recited by the aldermau as the
ordinance violated, imposes no penalty for
anything, but dsflnes the duty of the
m committee lu awarding supplies of
coal, oil or ethor matenal for lighting,
The alderman must have mlsuumbored,
both the section nud the date of the erdi
nance, aud as he has failed te quete the
ordiuance, or the substance of it, under
which he rendered his judgment, what
is there that appears, by whieli, thu court
can dotermlne the jurisdiction of the
alderman, or the law of the case f The
alderman has indoed shown eneugh en his
transcript te Induce us te doubt, but
nothing en whleh we eau proneunco with
certainty, the whele record boingHlevunly
ami dofective.
If it wasolear that tue judgment ron ren ron
dercd by the alderman, was rondcred
uuder the 3rd soe. of tbe ordlnaneo of -1th
Jan, 1825, the words rocited by him, te
wit ; " Cut down an oleotrio light pole,
erected, for the purpete of lighting the
ttreett of said city," might possibly be
oenstrued te oevor this case. Fer that
seotleu of said ordlnaneo rends, " if any
person, or porseus, shall wilfully or caro care caro
lessly, break, threw down or destrey any
lamp, lamp pest, Iren or fixture of the
lamps, set up te light the stroets ami
alleys of the city, cee."
But the 3rd sec. of that ordlnance docs
net dcslguate electric light poles, nor is the
ordiuauce dosignated in the record of the
aldermau by bciug set out In werdj, or by
uumber, or by date of passage, aud as the
plaintiff in this notion, sued for a penalty,
the ordinaneo, whiohevor it rnny be, i
penal lu Its oharaetor, and must be con.
strued strictly, and must be set forth in the
transoriptef'tho alderman, with sufflolent
olciruess nnd precision, te loave no doubt,
otherwiso the judgment will be reversed
en certiorari. The court cannot take
Judielal notleo of a elty ordlnauce. U,
