IT'S CANDLEMss DAY.
What Will the Grcund Hog See This
sG: M9rning?

Today Is Candlemas day, otherwise
and more commonly known as Ground
hog day. AS 'Candiemas day it COM
memorates the qualification of the Vir-
gin, and as a, echuFch festival has an
nually been observed in Scotland. The
ohservances to Whfch it owes it's name,
viz, the lighting ofcandles, and, in the
Roman Catholic church, the consera-
ton of the candles which are to he
used during the YEAR for ecclesiastical
purposes, are Tsafd to have an en-
blernatfc reference. to the prophecy Of
Simeon, that the child Jesus should be-
come a light to tighten the Gentiles.
The institutionsof this feast dates, it is
believed, from the reign of Justinian
and the year 542 is sometimes fixed
upon as that of it's first celebration.
Ground-hOg day dates not so many
years back. Feb. 2 is supposed to be
the date upon which the ground hog
leaves his winters home. If, after
his long sleep, he finds brightly Shin
ing sun, and thereby sees his shadow,
he crawls in his hole again for a nap
of another six weeks, as such event ID
said to pressage more winter weather.
If, however, when he appears he finds
the sun hidden behind clouds he Is as
sured of an early spring, and his nap
is over until the following winter.

A STRICTLY INTELLIGENT JURY
Judge Nevius Tires of Its InteIli-
gence and Sends ft Home.

A most extraordinary verdict was
rendered in the Circuit Court, yesterday
afternoon. Cornelius Connolly and his
wife, Eliza, a thrifty old couple, accu-
mulated $4,000, and it was deposited in
bank in their joint names. In 1885 they
drew out $1,000 and built house For
some reason the old couple had a fall
ing out in 1891 and their relations be-
came SO strained that Mrs. Connolly left
home and went to live with Catherine
Nevins, her sister. She drew $500 out of
the bank and gave it to her sister. The
suit tried yesterday was brought by Con-
molly to recover that $500 from Mrs. New
ins.
Mrs. Nevins put in an offset claim of
$500 for boarding Mrs. Connolly The evil
dence was all taken and Judge Nevius
charged the jury on the law. After ma
ture deliberation the jury returned into
court and the foreman announced that
they had found a verdict of $500 for the
defendant. The Court and the lawyers
looked amazed, and the lawyers asked
that Ihe jury be polled The polling did
not mend matters much Some of the
jurors stuck to the original verdict. 9th
ers gave a verdict of $500 for the plain
tiff. Judge Nevius ordered the verdict
recorded and then set it aside. He also
discharged the jury from further service
in the court.

pair of opera glasses and two rings from
William i. Garner, his uncle by mar
riage. On the 2sth of August Garner and

missed the $40, and when Haufe returned
about seven o'clock with a lag. he de-
manded his money. Haufe at first renied

return it. He never returned it, After
