BUT LITTLE RAIN FELL.
Lack Of Humidity Was the Feature OF
November Weather.

II. Z. Paine, voluntary weather OBJ
server for Scranton, has sent his report
for the month of November to the me-
teorological bureau. The total rain
fall of the month was only one and
three -fourths inches. This is less than
half what has fallen every November
for the past seven years, The average
Is three and one-half inches for the pre-
ceding seven Novembers.
The average maximum temperature
was fifty and seventeenthirtieths de-
greeS; the average minimum Is thirty
three and two-thirtieths degrees. What
is means by these statistics Is that the
highest temperatures are added to-
gether and divided by thirty, and the
same with the lowest temperatures.
The warmest day of the month was
Nov. 9. when the mercury went to ~;
the coolest was Nov. 22, when 1t went
down to Is. 1t showed on Nov. 2, 20.
q and 30 The heaviest rainfall in any
twenty-four consecutive hours was on
Nov. 10. when forty-four hundredths
of an inch fell.
The prevailing winds were west.
There We're nine clear days, eight par
TALLY cloudy ones and thirteen cloudy
ones. The feature of the weather was
the small amount of rainfall. 1t rained
on but six days. 1t was a very bleak
month and not unlike the one immor-
talized by the poet Burns.

They Reported an Agreement Impos
siblc and Judge Gunstcr Released Them
from Further Duty.
Ninety-one hours. or almost four
times as long as it requires the earth to
revolve on it's axis. was the period of
time which was spent in deliberation
by the jury in the SchlOss- Cobb trespass
suit, and still they could not agree upon
verdict and were discharged Saturday
morning by Judge Gunster.
The judge was not in a frame of mind
that could be termed pleased at the
introduction of music in the jury room
as u help in relieving the tedium of
the jurors. He expressed his disappro-
baton of their conduct by saying that
he was not aware of what they thought
of the administration of justice, but he
assured them that it could not be re-
garded good way to go about it.
He asked them if there was any pos
sibility of an agreement among them
and was answered by the foreman that
there was none. Then he said: 81 am
very sorry that you haven't been able
to agree in q case of this kind. / don't
know where we are to get jury in this
county to do it."
When two disagreements result in
the trial of case, upon application of
either plaintiff or defendant a change
of venue may be granted and the case
tried in another county This Is the
second time juries have disagreed in the
Schloss-Cobb case.
The case of Charles Camin against L..
Warneka was tried Saturday morning
and later in the day the Jury found a
verdict of sS605 in favor of the plaintiff.
Mr. Camin sued the defendant for 800. SO,
