som township. the jury yesterday
morning brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff for the land described in the
writ. The land is unseated and wild.
1t is situated on the mountain side at
Austin Heights. and until ten or twelve
years ago was considered to be not
worth very much value. The owner
thought SO little Of 1t as to neglect to
pay taxes and in 1884 1t was sold at
treasurer'S sale for a song.
Mr.. Everhart was the purchaser.
Soon after he came into possession the
original owner sold the land to Messrs.
Nesbitt and Lewis. The latter leased
it to the Austin Coal company and the
lease carried with 1t provision that
the ownership should be determined by
an ejectment suit. The case was on
trial all of last week until yesterday,
when it went to the jury. The verdict
was returned when court convened yes
terday morning. In the suit of the
Providence Milling company against
DR.. William Haggerty a verdict was
returned for the plaintiff in the sum Of
$77.22, and in the suit of the Green
Ridge Lumber company against Pat
rick and Ann Ruane a verdict for the
plaintiff was returned In the sum Of

Hewitt CASE CONTINUED.


The suit of Patrick Blewitt against
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey
for damages was called in No. before
Judge Archibald. Mr.. Blewitt's daugh-
ter, Frances, was injured in October,
1893, while on an excursion bound for
Mountain Park. The train she was on
was bumped by another train near
Bellevue and she was injured. After
the case was begun ex-Judge Jessup
and Horace Z. Hand amended the
declaration and this brought from
Warren & Knapp, representing the de-
fendant, plea Of surprise. On their
motion Judge Archibald withdrew a
juror and continued the case.
The suit Of G. NJ. Florey against H.
T. La Bar was tried before Judge Arch

cycle dealer of Wyoming avenue, and
the defendant keeps a general store in
Stroudsburg. On June 16, 1Ssr, Victor
Lawson. the bicycle thief, who served
n term In the county Jail, came into La
Bars store and sold bicycle for $50.
Lawson had two other wheels. he said,
at the express office, and he had them
for sale. too. at low figures.
Mr.. La Bar came to Scranton in the
latter part of that month and learned
that the wheel which ne had bought
from Lawson was stolen from Mr.. Flo
rey. 1t was to recover the value of this
wheel that the suit was brought. The
evidence adduced was to the effect that
the wheel which Mr. La Bar got from
Lawson was not the one stolen from
Mr.. Florey, but one that had been
traded for it. The jury found ver-
dict for the defendant.
NEIGHBORS ARE AT LAW.
The next case before Judge Archibald

sent the defendant. Damages in the

cause Of the suit Is the overflow of
| surface water from the O'Horo prem
| ises to the Kelley estate. The case was
opened and by request of the PLAINTIFF 8
attorney and with the permission of
the court the jury went out at $50 to
view the condition Of the alleged dam
aged property.
The trespass SUIT of John T. Schaffer
| against the Mt. Jessup Coal company

| ceived, was on trial before Judge Ed

WHAT ASHIFT OF VESTS WILL Do

A very useful dress can be made of
some of the many velvet weaves that
f not subjected TO hard wear, are al
mos. as pretty as velvet. Let a dress
have a skirt that just escapes the
ground and that is one with the boz
dice both being attached to a roll that
is shaped pretIly about the waist. The
bodies opens in front 20 allow the i'm
reduction Of a pointed vest, which
with collar to match. may be Of such
color and material as YOU like. A.
gown of green velvet or velve. weave
IS very stunning and VIII do charming
s. Cor the street with chinchilla vest
ru in. and worn with q chinchilla cape
and O velvet soft cap. A vest Of white
satin thickly ieweled with green with
pair of corresponding cuffs makes
.he own quite another thing, and q
grcen cloth vesc braided i'm gold gives
another character TO the rig. Such q
dress viii adapt itself 20 @ great many
uses. 1t is even possible to bear
little bit Of throat by letting the vest
De a loose panel Of chiffon. A little
turn over collar should finish the back
at the neck. and the front can be cut
down low Still another effect is pos
s.bla by supplying the inserted vest
with lapels that shall turn back over
the edges of the velvet in front
