Tracks Sinking i'm wilkes.Rarre.

A cavern on North Canal street, Will
kes-Barre, over the old workings of the
Conyngham mine, is causing some APP
prehension among the residents of that
locality, although no serious danger is
anticipated. Yesterday morning the
Lehigh Valley tracks had settled about
live inches and trains were ordered to
go over the place slowly. There are
several small cracks in the ground and
the electric car tracks, which were con-
siderably displaced on Sunday were
again slightly displaced yesterday. The
officials of the company say they expect
the mine will have fully settled in few
days and they think no damage will be
done.

John Oschman's Troubles.

John Oschman, of South Heberton
was arrested on Monday evening ON a
warrant sworn out before T. A. Buckley,
j. P, by John Kotosty, charging him
with committing an assault and battery
upon his wife, Dominica Kotosty, by
beating and kicking her. At the trial
a number of witnesses were examined
and Oschman was held in default of
bail.
Before the hearing took place Matthias
Schwabe also had warrant issued
charging Oschman with having set fire
to his barn on Sunday night and with
threatening to do him bodily harm.
The testimony tended to prove that
Oschman had made threats against Mr.
Schwabe and went so far as to say that
he would get even with Schwabe in
some manner
1t was also testified that he was heard
at the door of Mr.. Schwabe's private Of
flee a short time before the fire, and
that he went in the direction of the
barn. Enough evidence was presented
to hold him to appear at court on both
charges.
The crime of arson, under which Osch-
man was arrested, is not bailable by a
justice, and he was locked up for the
night and taken to the county jail on
Tuesday by Constable Quigley.
While the testimony in the case, so far
as given, is only circumstantial, it is
given by some of the best business men
of the locality, and seems to meet with
favor by the public. He will, unless
writ of habeas corpus is had and bail
accepted by one of the judges, have to
remain in jail until the June term OF
court.
Mr.. Oschman is q married man, aud
has resided at South Hebertou off and
on since 1868. His father. Anthony
Oschman, settled and built house there
in 1866, and was found murdered in
front of his home one morning in 1870.

DEATH ROLL OF A WEEK.
ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF EcKLEY
PASSED AWAY ON SUNDAY.

Richard Sharpe. Who Was Among the
First to Operate Coal Mines in Thi.
Section, Succumbed to Disea~e-Inierest-
ing Facts About others Who Have Died
There died at Wilkes Barre on Su..
day night a man whose early life wa
prominently identified with the frs
Developments OF coal in this part of the
Lehigh region. This was Richard Sharpe,
an operator who left Summit Hill ana
went to Eckley in 1853. Associated with
him were George Bedford, Francis Weiss
John Leisenrng and Asa Foster They

Lesenring & Co. in 1854, and leased for
twenty-one years a tract of the Tcnch
Coke estate, upon the present site OF
Eckley, which was then known as
Shingetown, u name taken from the
nature of the only business done there,
the making of shingles by the few early
settlers. The name of the settlement
was changed to Fillmore then to Eclsley
about 1866. A coliery was opened, to
which was given the name of Council
Ridge, after n famous council which was
held on the spot years before by the
Indian chiefs Of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania.

Judge Prince at Home.

Hon. L. B. Prince arrived home last
evening from Minneapolis, where he has
been attending the Episcopal triennial
convention for the past three weeks. BY
the failure of Rev. Mr.. Citizens, of Albu-
querque, to attend, Gov. Prince was the
only representative of Now Mexico pres
ent IN the house of deputies. He says
that the only thing done of special inter-
est to this section was the change Of Ell
Paso and the adjacent counties in Texas
from the district of western Texas to that
of New Mexico, so that they are now
under the jurisdiction of Bishop Kendrick
instead of Bishop Johnston! This change
was in the interest OF convenience, rs
Ell Paso is so remote from the remain
der of Texas, while Bishop Kendrick
actually has to pass through it in going
to the Pecos valley country. Gov. Prince
mentions having seen Nicholas GALES and
Meylert Brumer in Minneapolis and says
that the magnificent buildings In the
Twin Cities and the lavish western hos
pitality extended to the deputies was a
source of constant surprise AND admira-
ton among those from the east. The
next general convention will be held in
Washington in 1898.

Hudson springs sanitarium.


Work on the big sanitarium is pro-
crossing most rapidly, and over forty car
loads of material have already been uti]-
ICED in the construction of the main
building.
There will be sixty rooms in the sani-
tarium, independent of several bath
rooms which will adjoin some of the
larger rooms. For the convenience OF
invalids and visiting guests the structure

endas, with large court inside and wide
porches around both outside and IN the

One Of the most important improve
ments contemplated by the company ID
an electric trolley railroad. from the
springs to Hudson station ON the Santa
Fe. This matter is now receiving con-
alteration and the road will probably be
commenced as soon as the sanitarium is
com pleted. The entire building will be
fitted up with electrical appliances.
The bath house, buildings are now
almost completed and the famous springs
have been walled and cemented so tina,
they discharge an abundance Of hot

districts on the next day, the court an
nounced that it would be necessary to
close the pending hearing that night, and
an hour would be given each side to sum
up and conclude the case.
A recess was then taken till p. m.
The court met at 7:20 last night with
full bench.
The sentence of Thomas Hughes was
so modified that he is to serve sixty days
in the common Jail of Bernalillo county

Upon counsel for the defendants agree.
ing to this, the case was taken under ad-
visement until next Monday, when the
court will be re-convened.
| In this connection Chief Justice Smith,
having returned to the bench, said:
am directed BY the four Justices who
sat in the investigation of the proceed
ings against Mr.. Catron and Mr.. Spiess
to express their qualification at the cour-
tesy that prevailed between the commit
tee representing the court and the coan-
sci for the respondents, for the efficiency
of their services and the ability which has
been shown. The court expresses its
qualification at what may call the ur-
banity which has existed and character
lied the work of both sides and the hope
that it will continue to actuate the mem
bers of the bar in the future in all re-
spects and particularly in the perform
ance of duty SO disagreeable as the

again arise, which we trust will not be the

AN HISTORIC CASE.
Unanimous Opinion Of the Supreme
Court Involving the Famous
Maxwell Grant.

At it's present term the supreme court
of New Mexico has rendered final de-
cision ir the case most notable for it's
bearing on the title to the Maxwell land
grant, and remarkable for the stubborn
ness with which il has been contested in
the courts.
1t was known as the suit of the Bent
heirs against the Maxwell Land Grant
company, involving the title to twelfth
interest in the Maxwell grant.
The opinion, a very elaborate one, was
delivered by Associate Justice Collier
and unanimously approved by the entire
bench.
This decision is complete victory for
the Maxwell company, and puts its title
at rest. The case is one of the most cele-
brated in the history of New Mexico It'll
CATION, having been in the courts for
over thirty-fve years. Every lawyer and
Judge connected with its earlier stages
has long since passed away. In one form
or another it has been FIVE times before
the supreme court of New Mexico, and
twice before the supreme court of the
United States, with varying fortunes fol
the contending parties. The last two
previous decisions of the New Mexico
court were adverse to the Maxwell com
pany upon some interlocutory questions
but the present decision is upon the fina
hearing and ends the Bent claim.
The Bent heirs have been represented
by some of the most distinguished law
yers of the Colorado bar. The case wal
argued at the August term of the suprem.
court by Hon. Caldwell Yeaman and
Judge R. T. Mcneil, of Denver, in behalf
of the Bents, and by Hon. Frank Spring
er, Of Las Vegas, on the part of the Max
we'll company. This final unanimous de
csion of the court constitutes sigma
victory for Mr.. Springer and his clients

Weather PrOGnOStlcatOrs.
The goosebone is nearly all white this
year, and the result will be that snow will
be on the ground from early in December
until late in April. long, cold winter,
filled with clustering storms, is ahead.
There are other signs that confirm this.
Corn husks are unusually thick, and chip
hunks and woodchuoks are already fat
enough to kill. This according to eastern
weather prophets.
Hicks, the weather guesser, announces
that January, 1896, promises to DO very
extreme period of winter storms and
cold. The same causes will then perturb
and intensity the elements that existed st
the time of the destructive cold waves in
February, 1895, with the exception that
Jupiter has lost his intensifying force
over the situation at that time. He who
provides beautifully against severe win
ter storms and great cold, even far to the
south, will find that all outlays at all with
in reasons bounds will bring him cor
responding reward.

tempest in a teapot.

Some of the ST. Louis papers and the
Catholic church laity there are much wor-
ried over the fact that Cardinal Gibbons
became the guest Of Hon. Richard Kerens
during his stay there and celebrated mass
at an obscure Jesuit chapel, instead of
becoming the guest of Archbishop Kahn
and conducting mass at the cathedral.
They allege that the circumstance has
brought forward the old contest between
the "reliRiousn and the secular" clergy
and that the snemiessof the church who
protest against Jssuitical influence in state
and school affairs have taken advantage
