REVENGE IS SWEET. Bat it ia Bitter When You Try 10 Get it and Kail?A Story of the Republican Factional Fight In thle County. Every man has his likes and dislikes. There are in this county certain politi- cians of the Republican persuasion, who have theirs. Not content with carrying the county their own way at the last Republican primary election, they have lately been trying, in a measure, to wipe out of existence some of those of their own party who have since pro'ested against the means used in carrying cut the purposes of the ring. Among those who refused to bow to the yoke was Alex. N. Hart, Esq., Alderman of the Second ward. Mr. Hart was and is yet a Hastings man. He believes that the General is the choice of Republican voters of the county. He has dared to say so since the delegate election in January, the arrangements for which were made in a suburb of Blairs- ville, some time previous, when the scheme for quietly carrying off this coun- ty for the Crawford statesman was per- fected and the money paid over. We have nothing to say for one side or the other, but will state some facts in or der that the public may have a view of the workings of the Republican State and county machine. Mr. Hart was a candidate for the Al- dermanic nomination in the First ward at the Republican city primaries. He failed to be nominated. Prominent among those who helped to manipulate the coun- ty for Delamater was a present appli- cant for the Johnstown postoffice, and prominent among those who opposed Mr. Hart's nomination were he and his friends. Some time ago it turned out that Mr. Hart was appointed Alderman for the Second ward, the person elected to that position having failed to lift his commis- sion. That angered the anti-Hart faction. They made effort to have the commission revoked, and for that purpose Henry Wilson Storey, Esq., candidate for the Johnstown postofflce, and Fred W. Coxe, traveling salesman for the Gautier De- partment of the Cambria Iron Company, went to Harnsburg, bearing witli them a remonstrnnce against the continuing of Mr. Hart as Alderman and asking that his commission be revoked. It is stated that in going over the Second ward they got eight signers to the remonstrance. Just what took place at Attorney Gen- eral W. S. Kirkpatrick's office when the gentlemen presented the remonstrance, is not known, but this much is certain, Al- derman Hart's Commission still hangs on the wall in his office, and the parties who opposed him have the assurance from the Attorney General that all his official acts are as legal as those of any other Alder- man. The whole procedure shows that the methods of the ring Republicans is to crush every opposing element within their own party by not allowing anyone who refuses to do their bidding, to attain any prominence. In that way they maintain their ascendancy. A CHEMIST'S SUICIDE. His Companion, Charley O'Connor, Sup- posed to l>e a Girl. CLEVELAND, June 13.?About three weeks ago J. A. Vincent, a chemist and part owner of the Gardner Chemical Works, on ludiana avenue, Chicago, came to this city with a person known as Charlie O'Connor, on a visit. Vincent was twenty-six years old. His companion was much younger, of slight girlish tigure, black curly hair, blue eyes, and a feminine voice. Sacli Was the Y. M. C. A, Excursion to Ohio Pjrle Falls Yesterday. The bright skies yesterday morning were full of promise for the 800 excur- ? sionists, who at an early hour were astir making preparations for the trip to Ohio Pyle Falls. The train of two pow- erful engines and fifteen ears moved out of the city shortly before 8 o clock. It was the largest pleasure party that ever left the city. The B. &O. authorities are heartily commended for providing enough cars to seat every person comfortably. The journey was without any unusual in- cident. Arrived at the Falls every excurs- ionist betook himself to making the best of the day. None were disappointed at the place, but many had to wait a little long for dinner. The hotel was prepared for the occasion, but the 450 hungry Johns- towners who sought dinner there com- pletely eat the place out. Those who took their baskets were the best off. Tfie train ?tarted on the return trip at about 7:30 o'clock, arriving here at 11:15 o'clock, bringing back the crowd well satisfied with their day's outing. [Desertion ami Elopement. On Tuesday Mrs. Maltio Spires, wife of Mr. Wilmore Spires, whose home is on Prospect Hill, above the Twelfth ward, eloped with William Woods, a painter, who had been boarding on the South Side. The couple went to Osborne station on Tuesday afternoon and took the Somerset and Cambria Railroad. At Rockwood they bought tickets for Baltimore. Mrs. Spires leaves behind her two children-a girl aged thirteen and a boy aged six years. She had a pleasant home and had been married seventeen years. She took with her $270 in money, which had been saved of her husband's earnings, and was kept in the house. The man Woods is said to be n small man, not weighing over one hundred pounds, and having no money or other attraction. The runaway wife is thirty-six years of age, and in her conduct had never given cause for any suspicion as to her faithfulness. ANOTHER MIDNIGHT FIRE ALARM. A Shanty Burned Down on the South .side Last N'ght. Last night at about 12:45 o'clock an alarm of fire aroused some of our people from their slumbers. The cause proved to be the burning of a shanty near the corner of Morris and Diber' streets, South Side. It was discovered by Mr. Wm. A. McNulty when on his way home. The building evidently had been set on fire, as it was unoccupied. There are a number of such nuisances about the place, which with a view to public safety might be removed. A few days ago O'Connor went to his home in Allegheny, Pa., and at noon yes- terday Vincent committed suicide by jumping into a the lake from the bluff west of this city. Ed Griffith, a boyhood friend of Vincent's, who knew him in Kansas City, saw lnm when he made the fatal plunge. Vincent went to Griffith's bouse despon- dent and declared that he would kill him- self. Yesterday morning when Griffith arose Vincent had disappeared, leaving a note saying he bad g me to drown himself in the lake. Hastily following him, Griffith arrived at the lake shore just in time to see Vin- cent leap from the bluff. The body has not been recovered. Vincent left a letter saying he had killed himself because Charlie O'Connor had gone back on him. Griffith says he thinks O'Connor was a girl, Vincent's father is an Episcopal clergyman in Kan- sas City. All Clot New Safes. Yesterday Drayman W. J. Milligan had the contract of delivering six large safes for the National Safe A Dock Company, of Cleveland, Ohio. The Swank Hard- ware Company, got one weighing 4300 pounds. John 11. Brown, Esq., and 11. VV. Storey, Esq., each got one weighing 2000 pounds. The Herald Printing Com- pany, got one weighing 2200 pounds. Porch Bros., one weighing 2400 pounds, and Walden & Wbittaker one weighing 2400 pounds. All were handled without any accident. Two old safes taken in ex- change were also put on the cars to be re- turned to the manufacturers. Flood HeHcx to be Disposed of. At a meeting of the Finance Committee held Friday afternoon it was resolved that the unclaimed flood relics yet remaining in the hands of the Committee on Valu- ables be advertised for thirty days, and then sold at public auction. Death From Lockjaw. Several days ago Elmer Zimmerman, of Stoyestown, aged about twelve years, cut his great toe with a scythe. Little attention was paid to it at first, but th* cut soon became inflamed and yesterday the lad died of lock-jaw. COURT PROCEEDINGS. Regular June Term?(Second Wneli?Thurs- day Forenoon Session. EBENSBURG, June 12.?Court called at 2 o'clock, Judge Krebs on Bencli. Trial of Philip E. Chapin vs. the Cam- brio Iron Co. resumed. S. S. Blair argued at length to the Court and jury for the defendant, reviewing the principal fea- tures of the testimony and emphasizing the strong points in favor of the Cambria Iron Co. Mr. Blair was followed by Judge Orbis, of Bellefonte, for the plaintiff. He made a most masterly plea?a brilliant, elo- quent, and ingenious argument for his cliout. The Judge then delivered his charge to the jury, which was in part as follows: The suit is action brought by Philip E. Chapin by which he seeks to recover from the Cambria Iron .Company money which he alleges to be due him for ser- vices, beginning the Ist of July. 1881, and ending the Ist of January, 1888. The counsel have argued this case be- fore you very fully and while I will not attempt to comment on all the points pre- sented in evidence, it is your duty to con- sider every point brought out in evidence on the witness stand and make up your verdict after, careful consideration. I will divide' this case into two branches, the second branch including the time be- tween the Ist of January 1884 to Ist of January 1888. Sometime in 1888 Mr. Cliapin was asked to become General Manager of the Cambria Iron Company. That appo'iitmcnt to begin the Ist of Jan uary 1884 and to continue indefinitely. By allegation of plaintiff his salary was to be $12,000 per yeai. The defendant de- nies this, alleging it was only to be $lO,- 000 per unnum. While the President of the Company has power to make ap- pointments, such appointments are sub- ject to approval by the Board of Directors and must be confirmed to be valid. As an officer of the corporation Mr. Chapin should have bien familiar with the rules of the Company and when the Board fixed his salary at SIO,OOO per annum unless he dissented at the time he would be botiud by that decision. If he accepted and was paid his monthly wages at the rate of SIO,OOO per year as his monthly vouchers show, as a matter of law he can recover nothing more. The first branch into which I have di- vided this case covers the period Mr. Chapin was employed by the Cambria Iron Company as Superintendent of the Gautier Steel Works. Prior to the first of Febrnary, 1881, Mr, Chapin, then living at Cleveland, 0., was solicited by Mr. D. J. Morrell tooome to Johnstown to take charge of the Gautier Steel Company, limited, stating that this company would be merged into the Cambria Iron Company, and that as Superintendent of tnis department his salary should be SIO,OOO per annum. Mrs. Chapin also testified that he was to re- ceive SIO,OOO. He came to Johnstown to .ook .ato the business to determine whether he would accept the offer or not. After acquainting himself with the busi- ntss and requirements, he told Mr. Mor- rell that he would_accept the position. He went back to Cleveland and returning took charge of the Gautier Steel Works, according; to this arrangement, the first March, 1881. TLe fact that negotiations were pending tor the sale of the Gautier Steel Works to the Cambria Iron Company, that it became the property of that company the first of March, but was still run as a separate department until the first of July following is a mat- ter to be considered by you. The de- fendants deny that there was any arrangement made by Mr. Morrll to pay the plaintiff SIO,OOO a year. They affirm that his pay was $7,000 per annum, monthly for which vouchers were drawn. These different vouchers signed bp Mr. Chapin will help you to determine what the salary was, but are not abs#lute. They do not prove con- clusively that was the whole of his salary ; for according to the testimony of the defendants the total of all salaries was not paid at Johnstown. On the question submitted by counsel for defendant that if the stated salary of the plaintiff was $7,000 and that there was a secret understanding with Mr, Mor- rell by which he was to receive $3,000 more from the company, it would be a fraud to which the plaintiff would be a party and could not recover, we would submit to you in this connection what the general practice ot the company was, and if in harmony with that practice they paid him $7,000 from the Johnstown office and $3,000 from the Philadelphia office it would not be a fraud. It is acquiesced in by both sides that in addition to his salary SSOO was paid liini at one time, which the defendants claim was a mere gratuity. It it were a gratuity it could not be construed as evidence that it was due him on salary, but if it were shown to be a recognition of the compa- ny's indebtedness to Mr. Chapin for his services in addition to his salary then it forms a basis for the plaintiff's claim. It is also shown that he received SI,OOO at another time, which is claimed by plaintiff as a recognition of money due him. On part of defendant it is claimed it was paid for some other reason and charged up to expense account; but it is also shown that all salaries are charged up to expense account. In the absence of any explanation, the jury will dispose of the matter as your judgment, based on the evidence presented, dictates. Another SI,OOO mentioned in the | alleged recognition, the plaintiff claims, was paid him in acknowl- edgement of the excess due him on this $7,000. Gentlemen of the jury, it is for you take all this testimony, these letters and vouchers and determine what was the true relation of plaintiff to the Cam- bria Iron Company. If $7 000 was his \u25a0 full salary, then he has no claim on the company. If on the other hand you deter- - mine that his salary according to evidence 1 adduced was SIO,OOO per annum, then he 5 would be entitled to the balance of aalary " due him with interest. > Jury was then sworn and returned about 1 sp. M. New jury was called to box and sworn ' to try issue between John Neary, ot Pros- ! peet, and Pennsylvania Railroad for tres- - pass. 1 F. P. Martin, attorney for plaintiff, and A. V. Barker and Cbal. L. Dick for Penu- ' sylvania Railroad. Before examination of fir-t witness was concluded Cdurt adjourned to meet at ' 7:30 v. m. " KVBNINU SESSION. The trial of John Neary vs. P. R. R. was resumed. The jury that had been out on the case of Philip E. Chapin vs. the Cambria Iron Co. returned with their verdict, which is in plain English that the Cambria Iron Co. ply Philip E. Chapin $7,700. FRIDAY MORNING SESSION. Court called at 9 A. M., Judge Krebs on the bench. Trial of John Neary vs. Penn- sylvania Railroad Company, continued. After examing a number of witnesses and many records the Judge finally decided to take the case away from the jury. After which Court adjourned to meet at 2 p. M. FRIDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. Court called at 2 r. M., Judge Johnston on the bench. Jury was called to try the issue, Mary Baunan vs. W. W. McAteer. All jurymeu discharged not paneled on this case, QUITE A FALL. A House on Iron .Street Suddenly Let Down 4 Don I Three Feet. Tuesday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock a serious accident happened to the house occupied by Mr. Jas. J. Maloncy, keeper of the Lincoln Hotel, Iron street. The house was being raised on jacks for the purpose of having a wall put under it. When elevated about three feet, the sup- ports gave way, letting the building drop that distance. The building was nearly shattered to pieces. One end went into the cellar, and the kitchen floor was torn up. It was a Hughes house, which had been erected shortly after the flood. The paper and plastering nearly all came off tlie walls. Mrs. Hayes, the liouse-keeper, was in the house at the time, but escaped uninjured, though much frightened. There was no fire in the house at the time, or further trouble might have re- sulted. Some workmen in the cellar miracuously escaped injury. A Mexican War Veteran Gruwiug Six Pen ttiOtlM. BOSTON, June 19. ?It has been asccr* tained thaj George Wats m, a veteran of the Mexican war, ami sixty-five years of age, has been drawing pensions in bis own name and in the uanu sof Joseph Smith, Henry Rogers, Fred Buggott, and Charles Andrews, all veterans of the Mex- ican war. Several of these men have widows and relatives 1 ving who are en- titled to the money. He presented papers and applied for the pension of Jaines Johnson, but it was found that Johnson was alteady drawing a pension in New York City. An investigation followed, and Watson was identified as the man who had applied for Johnson's pension money. Watson scented danger, and left the Sailor's Home in Quincy on May 21st. He was traced from town to town and was arrested at .East Milton yesterday. He pleaded guilty to fraud in using Jo- seph Smith's name and was held in $2,000 bonds. A Good Word for tlie (ild Maid*. From the New York Press. No product of the last decade of tlie nineteenth century has changed more completely than the old maid. The modern old maul always looks a great deal younger than she is. This youthful- ness is the uaturul outcome of good health, a clear conscience ami a kind heart, which are in turn produced by a sys- tematic course of mental and phyical activity pursued by her. The niodbrn old maid spends the best part of her time planning and working for the comfort and happiness of others. The brothers of the family adore their old maid sisters. SOMERSET REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES ! scull Ahead of Horner and the County Ticket in Doubt. The Republican primary election took place in Somerset county on Saturday. At present very little is definitely known as to the result, but enough has been learned to indicate that Scull has carried the county for Congress. It will take the official count to determine who is nomi- nated for the county offices. MARRIAGE LICENSES. T'lio Follow 111K Have Ileen Granted Since Our Last Report. (George spenger Johnstown.

The verdict of the jury in the case ot Chapin vs. Cambria Iron Co. is generally regarded as in accord with Judge Krebs' charge. The many friends of Mr. T. T. Bearer were shocked on F> i lay morning at the news of his sudden death, which occurred at his home in Susquehanna township sometime during Thursday night or Fri- day morning, he being found dead in bed. Mr. Bearer was a young man of exem- plary character, and in every respect a true man. He was for many years one of tin: foremost teachers in Cambria county. He had a paralytic stroke some two years ago while teaching school and had ever since been an invalid. Deputy-Treasurer M. D. Bearer, of this place, and Lewis J.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

REVENGE IS SWEET.

Bat it ia Bitter When You Try 10 Get it

and Kail?A Story of the RepublicanFactional Fight In thle County.

Every man has his likes and dislikes.There are in this county certain politi-

cians of the Republican persuasion, who

have theirs. Not content with carrying

the county their own way at the lastRepublican primary election, they have

lately been trying, in a measure, to wipeout of existence some of those of theirown party who have since pro'estedagainst the means used in carrying cut

the purposes of the ring. Among thosewho refused to bow to the yoke was

Alex. N. Hart, Esq., Alderman of theSecond ward.

Mr. Hart was and is yet a Hastingsman. He believes that the General is thechoice of Republican voters of the county.

He has dared to say so since the delegateelection in January, the arrangements forwhich were made in a suburb of Blairs-ville, some time previous, when thescheme for quietly carrying off this coun-ty for the Crawford statesman was per-fected and the money paid over.

We have nothing to say for one side orthe other, but will state some facts in order that the public may have a view ofthe workings of the Republican State andcounty machine.

Mr. Hart was a candidate for the Al-dermanic nomination in the First ward at

the Republican city primaries. He failedto be nominated. Prominent amongthose who helped to manipulate the coun-ty for Delamater was a present appli-cant for the Johnstown postoffice, and

prominent among those who opposed Mr.Hart's nomination were he and his friends.

Some time ago it turned out that Mr.Hart was appointed Alderman for theSecond ward, the person elected to thatposition having failed to lift his commis-sion. That angered the anti-Hart faction.They made effort to have the commissionrevoked, and for that purpose HenryWilson Storey, Esq., candidate for the

Johnstown postofflce, and Fred W. Coxe,traveling salesman for the Gautier De-partment of the Cambria Iron Company,went to Harnsburg, bearing witli thema remonstrnnce against the continuing ofMr. Hart as Alderman and asking thathis commission be revoked. It is statedthat in going over the Second ward theygot eight signers to the remonstrance.

Just what took place at Attorney Gen-eral W. S. Kirkpatrick's office when thegentlemen presented the remonstrance, isnot known, but this much is certain, Al-derman Hart's Commission still hangs on

the wall in his office, and the parties whoopposed him have the assurance from the

Attorney General that all his official acts

are as legal as those of any other Alder-man.

The whole procedure shows that themethods of the ring Republicans is to

crush every opposing element within theirown party by not allowing anyone whorefuses to do their bidding, to attain anyprominence. In that way they maintaintheir ascendancy.

The bright skies yesterday morningwere full of promise for the 800 excur- ?

sionists, who at an early hour were

astir making preparations for the trip toOhio Pyle Falls. The train of two pow-erful engines and fifteen ears moved

out of the city shortly before 8 o clock.It was the largest pleasure party that ever

left the city. The B. &O. authorities areheartily commended forproviding enoughcars to seat every person comfortably.The journey was without any unusual in-

cident. Arrived at the Falls every excurs-

ionist betook himself to making the best ofthe day. None were disappointed at theplace, but many had to wait a little longfor dinner. The hotel was prepared forthe occasion, but the 450 hungry Johns-towners who sought dinner there com-pletely eat the place out. Those who tooktheir baskets were the best off. Tfie train?tarted on the return trip at about 7:30o'clock, arriving here at 11:15 o'clock,bringing back the crowd well satisfiedwith their day's outing.

ANOTHER MIDNIGHTFIRE ALARM.

A Shanty Burned Down on the South .sideLast N'ght.

Last night at about 12:45 o'clock an

alarm of fire aroused some of our peoplefrom their slumbers. The cause provedto be the burning of a shanty near thecorner of Morris and Diber' streets, SouthSide. It was discovered by Mr. Wm. A.McNulty when on his way home. Thebuilding evidently had been set on fire, asit was unoccupied.

There are a number of such nuisancesabout the place, which with a view topublic safety might be removed.

A few days ago O'Connor went to hishome in Allegheny, Pa., and at noon yes-terday Vincent committed suicide byjumping into a the lake from the bluffwest of this city. Ed Griffith, a boyhoodfriend of Vincent's, who knew him inKansas City, saw lnm when he made thefatal plunge.

Vincent went to Griffith's bouse despon-dent and declared that he would kill him-self. Yesterday morning when Griffitharose Vincent had disappeared, leaving a

note saying he bad g me to drown himselfin the lake.

Hastily following him, Griffith arrivedat the lake shore just in time to see Vin-cent leap from the bluff. The body hasnot been recovered.

Vincent left a letter saying he hadkilled himself because Charlie O'Connorhad gone back on him. Griffith says hethinks O'Connor was a girl, Vincent'sfather is an Episcopal clergyman in Kan-sas City.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Regular June Term?(Second Wneli?Thurs-day Forenoon Session.

EBENSBURG, June 12.?Court called at 2o'clock, Judge Krebs on Bencli.

Trial of Philip E. Chapin vs. the Cam-brio Iron Co. resumed. S. S. Blair arguedat length to the Court and jury for thedefendant, reviewing the principal fea-

tures of the testimony and emphasizingthe strong points in favor of the CambriaIron Co.

Mr. Blair was followed by Judge Orbis,of Bellefonte, for the plaintiff. He madea most masterly plea?a brilliant, elo-quent, and ingenious argument for hiscliout.

The Judge then delivered his charge to

the jury, which was in part as follows:The suit is action brought by Philip E.Chapin by which he seeks to recover

from the Cambria Iron .Company moneywhich he alleges to be due him for ser-

vices, beginning the Ist of July. 1881, andending the Ist of January, 1888.

The counsel have argued this case be-fore you very fully and while I will notattempt to comment on all the points pre-sented in evidence, it is your duty to con-

sider every point brought out in evidenceon the witness stand and make up yourverdict after, careful consideration. Iwill divide' this case into two branches,

the second branch including the time be-tween the Ist of January 1884 to Ist ofJanuary 1888. Sometime in 1888 Mr.Cliapin was asked to become GeneralManager of the Cambria Iron Company.That appo'iitmcnt to begin the Ist of January 1884 and to continue indefinitely.By allegation of plaintiff his salary was to

be $12,000 per yeai. The defendant de-nies this, alleging it was only to be $lO,-000 per unnum. While the President ofthe Company has power to make ap-pointments, such appointments are sub-

ject to approval by the Board of Directorsand must be confirmed to be valid. As an

officer of the corporation Mr. Chapinshould have bien familiar with the rulesof the Company and when the Board fixedhis salary at SIO,OOO per annum unless hedissented at the time he would be botiudby that decision. Ifhe accepted and was

paid his monthly wages at the rate ofSIO,OOO per year as his monthly vouchersshow, as a matter of law he can recovernothing more.

The first branch into which I have di-vided this case covers the period Mr.Chapin was employed by the CambriaIron Company as Superintendent of theGautier Steel Works.

Prior to the first of Febrnary, 1881,Mr, Chapin, then living at Cleveland, 0.,was solicited by Mr. D. J. Morrell tooome

to Johnstown to take charge of theGautier Steel Company, limited, statingthat this company would be merged intothe Cambria Iron Company, and that as

Superintendent of tnis department hissalary should be SIO,OOO per annum. Mrs.Chapin also testified that he was to re-

ceive SIO,OOO. He came to Johnstownto .ook .ato the business to determinewhether he would accept the offer or not.

After acquainting himself with the busi-ntss and requirements, he told Mr. Mor-rell that he would_accept the position.He went back to Cleveland and returningtook charge of the Gautier Steel Works,according; to this arrangement, the firstMarch, 1881. TLe fact that negotiations

were pending tor the sale of theGautier Steel Works to the CambriaIron Company, that it became the propertyof that company the first of March, butwas still run as a separate departmentuntil the first of July following is a mat-

ter to be considered by you. The de-fendants deny that there was anyarrangement made by Mr. Morrll to paythe plaintiff SIO,OOO a year. They affirm

that his pay was $7,000 per annum,

monthly for which voucherswere drawn. These different voucherssigned bp Mr. Chapin will help you to

determine what the salary was, but are

not abs#lute. They do not prove con-clusively that was the whole of hissalary ; for according to the testimony ofthe defendants the total of all salaries wasnot paid at Johnstown.

On the question submitted by counsel

for defendant that if the stated salary ofthe plaintiff was $7,000 and that therewas a secret understanding with Mr, Mor-rell by which he was to receive $3,000more from the company, it would be a

fraud to which the plaintiff would be aparty and could not recover, we wouldsubmit to you in this connection what thegeneral practice ot the company was, andif in harmony with that practice they paid

him $7,000 from the Johnstown office and$3,000 from the Philadelphia office itwould not be a fraud.

It is acquiesced in by both sides that in

addition to his salary SSOO was paid liiniat one time, which the defendants claimwas a mere gratuity. It it were a gratuityit could not be construed as evidence thatit was due him on salary, but if it were

shown to be a recognition of the compa-ny's indebtedness to Mr. Chapin for hisservices in addition to his salary then itforms a basis for the plaintiff's claim.

It is also shown that he received SI,OOO

at another time, which is claimed byplaintiff as a recognition of money duehim. On part of defendant it is claimedit was paid for some other reason andcharged up to expense account; but it isalso shown that all salaries are chargedup to expense account. In the absenceof any explanation, the jury will dispose

of the matter as your judgment,based on the evidence presented,

dictates. Another SI,OOO mentionedin the | alleged recognition, theplaintiff claims, was paid him in acknowl-edgement of the excess due him on this$7,000. Gentlemen of the jury, it is foryou take all this testimony, these letters

and vouchers and determine what was

the true relation of plaintiff to the Cam-bria Iron Company. If $7 000 was his

\u25a0 full salary, then he has no claim on the

company. If on the other hand you deter-- mine that his salary according to evidence

1 adduced was SIO,OOO per annum, then he5 would be entitled to the balance of aalary" due him with interest.> Jury was then sworn and returned about

1 sp. M.

New jury was called to box and sworn' to try issue between John Neary, ot Pros-! peet, and Pennsylvania Railroad for tres-

- pass.

One end went intothe cellar, and the kitchen floor was tornup. Itwas a Hughes house, which hadbeen erected shortly after the flood. Thepaper and plastering nearly all came offtlie walls. Mrs. Hayes, the liouse-keeper,was in the house at the time, but escapeduninjured, though much frightened.There was no fire in the house at thetime, or further trouble might have re-

sulted. Some workmen in the cellarmiracuously escaped injury.

AGood Word for tlie (ild Maid*.From the New York Press.

No product of the last decade of tlie

nineteenth century has changed morecompletely than the old maid. Themodern old maul always looks a great

deal younger than she is. This youthful-ness is the uaturul outcome of good health,

a clear conscience ami a kind heart,which are in turn produced by a sys-tematic course of mental and phyicalactivity pursued by her. The niodbrn oldmaid spends the best part of her timeplanning and working for the comfortand happiness of others. The brothers ofthe family adore their old maid sisters.
