Philadelphia Times. was served with
notice by United States Marshal to

business houses go wrong. The won
der is that there are not moro such.

AFTER repeated trials tho Pontaine
locomotive, which won peculiar ce-
lebrity some time ago on the line of the
Canada Southern, has finally disap-
peared. The central idea was the in

they proved a failure. Altogether the
company paid out $645, 600 and received
$1,000 in return.

dead her son-in-law, Mr. Christmas,
will push the great suit. He seems to
have been a great favorite with the old

seemed anxious for his acquittal, sitting
by his side in the courtroom and coun-
