THE BIG sNowsToRM.

hoanose was visited by the deepest
snowfall of the winter yesterday; and as
1t warmer than for several days past,
there was not.'as much discomfort to those
exposed tc the weather as there might
otherwise have been. The snow began to
fall about o'clock and by daylight it
was an inch or more in depth. 1t con-
tinued to fall with increasing rapidity
until about o'clock when at intervals it
almost ceased entirely. Those fortunate
enough to have sleighs enjoyed them
selves considerably in the afternoon and
evening, the tinkling of bells being an
enlivening feature of city life ut that
time. Coasting was also INDUCED in
largely by the young people, who had II
line time sliding down the many hillsides
about the city. BY night the snow was
over four inches deep and with increasing
GOODNESS of the weather it babe fair to re-
main in this vicinity several days. The
farmers in this vicinity have been wishing
for snow since the cold and freezing
weather set in on Sunday, and the ground
being frozen to the depth of several inches
it is not likely to leave very soon unless
warm spell followed by heavy rain
should set in. No material obstruction
to travel by the electric cars was expert
enced yesterday and there WAS no delay
in the arri vai or departure of Norfolk and
Western railroad trains on this account.
AS noted elsewhere the snow is adding to
the sufferings of the poor many, of whom
are in need of fuel and provisions.

len face and was otherwise cut and
bruised when he came to their house.
Then the defendant himself was put
on the stand He was on from $40 un-
til 4.45 o'clock. He told his story in a
straightforward way, In fairly good
English and never made a single mis-
step during the entire recital. He told
that he was born in Poland twenty
two years ago and came to this coun-
try with his parents when II years Of
age They first lived at Alden and
then successfully at Wilkes Barre,
Carbondale, Peckville, Carbondale
again, Forest City, again at Carbon
dale, Archibald, Plymouth, then at
the Ridge and then back to Archibald.
The reason they moved so often was
that the father would get drunk and
lose his job He was continually
drinking and fighting and swearing
and the mother was just as bad. once
he left them and went to New York to
work in n hat factory, but they wrote
for him to come back and he did.
EVIDENCE NOT ADMITTED.
After an unsuccessful effort to ad-
between Mrs. Gouse and Reminisky,
Mr.. Ballentine directed the defendant
to tell the story of the day on which
the trouble occurred.
Gouse went on to say that he came
back from a chestnutting trip at about
. o'clock in the afternoon and found
his father and mother and the three

COST OF THE NEW
WEST SIDE SEWER
City Engineer Estimates That II Will
Require S55,0OO to Build II.
ITS CONSTRUCTION is DIFFICULT
At One Place the Sewer Will BE Laid
at u Depth OF Fifty Feet and 1t VIII
BE Necessary to TunneI--Proposed
Sewer will Drain a Territory Em-
bracing Three Hundred and Sixty
Acres of Land.

City Engineer Joseph Phillips has
made an estimate of the cost of the
main trunk sewer to run from the
Lackawanna river to Luzerne and
Twentieth streets near Keyser valley,
and is intended to drain territory
west of Main avenue which has given
the board of health untold trouble for
years. The trouble grows worse as the
district becomes more thickly popu-
lated and councils realize that some
thing must soon be done to put that
region in a more sanitary condition
The city engineer estimates that the
total cost of the improvement will be
difficult to construct from an engineer
ing point of view.
There is a stiff grade from the Lack
awanna river to Main avenue which
would render that part of the work
comparatively easy, but west Of Main
avenue there is afso a down grade In
other words Main avenue is the apex
of an ridge and to sewer the district
west of it the sewage conveyor must
pass under that thoroughfare.
The measurements and figures in the
possession of the city engineer show
llllI llltt StNtl W III nave W bt MY ltt'
below Main avenue to get n proper
pitch. AS it would be impossible to dig
a ditch that deep q tunnel will have tC
be constructed running from Tenth tC
Fourteenth street, a distance of about
2,3O0 feet. The great depth of this
main sewer will make it necessary tc
lay laters over it with which the house
connections can be made. At short in.
tervals connections between the latera
and main sewers will be made.
At the LackaWanna river the sewer
will be 31ax5 feet and will be construct.

There are two spurs which are con
sidered by the engineer as part of thi!
main sewer. one will run along Nintl
street from Luzerne to West Locus
and the other on Meridian, Hampton
and Sixth avenue from Luzerne t
West Locust street.
The proposed sewer will drain a ter
ritory comprising 800 acres of lant
which contains 1920 lots. No decided
action has been taken by councils witt

MANY MINOR CASES HEARD.
Two South Side Burglars Sent to the
Penitentiary.

An open confession may be good in
some cases but it proved of no avail to
James Crolly who, on Monday pleaded
guilty of completely in the burglary Of
Alderman Christian Storr's furniture
establishment last November.
His co-defendants John Clark and
Thomas Finnerty We're tried yesterday
before Judge Archibald. Finnerty
proved that he accidentally happened to
be with the other two when they We're
arrested and was acquitted. Clark was
returned guilty. He and Crolly We're
called for sentence and each was given
one year and three months in the East
ern penitentiary.
Sarah Hoffman, of Throop, charged
her neighbor John Coggins with having
committed an unprovoked assault upon
her one day While she was walking
along the public highway The jury
divided the costs. Mr.. O Brien conduct
ed the defense.
John Lahaskey got three months in
the county Jail and a fine of $25 for as
saulting Policeman Patrick Gibbons
while he was trying to quell a disturb
ance at John Novack's hotel in Oily

no participation in the assault
Anthony Wrobal Wledislaw Pesczen-
ski and Frank II. Filarski, of the Third
ward of Dickson City, charged Miles
Langan, Reese Davis, jr., and John
Snyder, the election board, of that dis
| trict, with having violated the election
laws in refusing to receive their duly
qualified votes. Ward & Horn, attor-
neys for the defense, made out that the
| votes were rejected because the names
| We're spelled in so many different ways
it was impossible for anybody to tell
| whether or not they We're properly reg
istered. Judge Archibald directed the
| jury to return a verdict of not guilty.
A jury was out at adjournment delib-
| Grating in the case of John Morgan
| charged by Baxter Marshall with felon-
| ious wounding. Both are young colored
| lads. They started out on hunting
| trip last November with one gun be-
tween them, Morgan carrying the
| weapon. Near the corner of West
| LackaWanna avenue and Seventh street
| Marshall picked up an apple. There
! was a struggle for its possession during
which the gun was discharged. Mar
| shalls leg was shattered by the shot
| below the knee and had to be amputat-
ed. Il is alleged by the prosecution that
the wounding was wilful and malicious
! The defense is that it was accidental
| Mr.. Cawley was assigned to defend
! Morgan.
A verdict of not guilty was entered
upon the defendant paying the costs il
the case of Conner Morgan, charged by
Mary Morgan with assault and battery
Patrick Kearney escaped prosecution
on the charge of assault and battery

Gouse claimed that when he left the
house after striking his father the door
was open but when he returned shortly
afterwards it was shut, showing that
someone had been in there in the mean
time He denied emphatically that he
how the stab wounds were inflicted.
Mr. Ballentine asked him IL any
thing had ever occurred to cause him to
believe that Reminisky and his mother
were criminally intimate, the purpose
of the question being to show that the
witness could not have entered into q
conspiracy with Reminisky to kill his
father and to also show that Remin-
isky would desire the death of Mrs.
Gouse's husband. Mr.. Jones objected
to the question and court sustained the
objection.
ON CROSS EXAMINATION.
District Attorney Jones asked Gouse
on cross examination If he had told
Justice O'Brien, Klaus, Reminisky, Of
ficer Russell or any of the others to
