Rocks Hid a Relic.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Nov. 26.-An inter-
esting colonial relic was brought to light
by the explosion of a blast to-day. The
relic is stone cross, which was exposed
after fall of rock that uncovered a sin
twenty feet in depth.
The cross is perfect in outline, is of the
kind used by the earl y Jesuit missionaries
sent out by the French Government to
their coIonies..in this country. It's about
twenty.four inches in length, with cross
arm eighteen inches long. Examination
showed that the cross, originally of
wood, had been subjected to washing
process fer over century. and the line
stone had finally hardened on the cxtc-
rior into stone. S, dclicatcly had the
hand OF nature done its work that the
tracings of the gain in the wood are
still plainly disccrnibIc.

Changes in Court Customs in Judge
ArnOld's Court.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-Judge Ar
mold, of Common Pleas Court No. 4, has
recently introduced some innovations in
court procedure, to the surprise OF those
attorneys who favor Old-time forms. One
of the changes is the abolishment of the
historic words "Oyez, Oyez" in opening
court. The old form ran as follows:
"Oyez, Oyez-All manner and persons
who stand bound by recognizance, and
having otherwise to do with this honor
able court, will now appear and they
shall be heard. God save the common
wealth and this honorable court"
The court-crier's opening announce
ment is now to be:
''In the name of the Commonwealth of
PENNSYLVANIA, now declare this court
OPEN" The new form has the advantage
OF brevity and clearness, but the sticklers
for precedent are not pleased. In Grim
ina court sessions, Judge Arnold has
adopted the practice of reading the bills
of trial aloud from the desk, instead OF
leaving this to the District Attorney and
incidentally relieved the latter OF the
work of continuing eases.

Routine Court Proceedings.

After the Thanksgiving festivities, the
members of the bar and the jurors all re-
turned yesterday to again resume their
work at court. The first case was that
of a promissory note Joseph r. Lively VS.,
Norris Wilson's executors. William S.
Hilles represented Mr. Lively, of Phila-
delphia, and Lewis c. Vandegrift repre-
sented the executors, William II. Horn
and William B. Wilson, both OF PhiIa-
dclphia.
note given by Mr.. Wilson for the accom-
modaton OF William D. Corn. Mr..
Lively kept the note in his safe for about
two years and when he presented it to
Mr.. Wilson's executors they were not
willing to pay it until jury should pass
upon it. The note was for $4OO dating
from 1893 and the amount claimed by
plaintiff was $5O2.2O. The jury brought
in verdict in favor of plaintiff and
amount of claim.
The case of Michael Bleger vs.. Patrick
Fahcy has been referred to John Pyle,
Thomas Reartlon and Thomas |. Lawson,
as referees. Peter L. Cooper Jr., repre-
sents the plaintiff and G. W. Smith the
defendant.
The afternoon session took up the case
of Harry Emmons, lawyer, against the
Home Insurance Company,a corporation
under the laws of New York. and An
thony Higgins represented Mr.. En-
mons, and Levi c. Bird representing the
company Mr. Emmons is making a
claim Of $500 against the Home Insur-
ance Company on policy which in
sured Il property Of his situated on Cor
ner Of Garrasche Lane and Head
Streets, over 3rd Street bridge.
The policy dated from May 20th, 1895,
and at 10 o'clock on the evening Of May
23d, 1896, the property was destroyed by
fire. 1t was an Interesting case from the
fact that it is bringing forth some impor-
tant points which interests all real estate
owners. The property which was insur-
ed for one year and the premium having
been paid, $3.15, was vacated by its ten
ant, William T. Cox, before the cxpira-
ton Of one year, and at the time Of the
fire no one was living within.
The insurance company's representa-
tive stated that all policies become void
after the house becomes vacated ten days.
And as this house is SO far on the outer
limits Of the city, it became nest for
buns, Ioafers and other low classes to
gather and sleep in. Levi c. Bird de-
voted two hours in reading technical
points of the law and at t p. IN. court
adjourned until 10 O'Clock Monday,
when the case will again be called.

EAST SIDE "SOCIETY" LOSS.
Its Tavoritc "Spieiing Trust" Ha
Given Up the Ghost. Passing
OfHarry B. katZ.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-Nobody knew it
was in existence and now it has given up
the ghost. 1t was ''spieling' trust, or
another name for it would be the Harry
B. katz trust.
Five years ago this particular katz
then aged 25, saw that there was money
in balls. So he formed an association
known as the Lady Flashers' Association,
with himself as president, vice president,
secretary and treasurer There was one
office Katz didn't hold. For sergeant
alarms he elected "Blinkey" Conroy, a
well-known Bowery "bouncer."
The first ball was advertised in glaring
red posters, admission absolutely free for
"ladies and gents wishing sociable
time. But no one was allowed to enter
the hall with his hat on, and the remun.
erativc fee of 50 cents was charged for
checking hats.
The affair was 50 great a financial sue
cess that Katz shrewdly figured that
there ought to be more money in tNo
balls than in one. So the next day he
organized the Lady Truckdrivers' Asso-
citation, e!ecting himself to all the offices.
This bail, also free, ecIipsed even the
Flashers' affair.
The next day the east side was startled
with placards announcing a grand free
ball OF the Midway rIaiSanccrs. This
thing was kept up for five years. There
hasn't been Il Saturday night that prcsi-
dent-Nice-President MISUNDERSTANDING

A year ago kalz hcthought him Of Il
new scheme. He organized the Lady
Trilby Association and offered prizes to
women with the smallest feet. But
now he has retired and the trust, is no
more.
Katz's fortune is variouSIy estimated
by his friends.
lzzy Sullivan is a close friend and
takes an optimistic view.
''Did you ever see his 'haShcr?: he
asked yesterday. "Why, the stud he
wears Is worth Il cool Thousand alone.
and he has got Il horseshoe that's worth
thousand mow.'
"Pshaw. his tlasler,'" said Blinncy
Conroy, who thinks he has not been well
treated. cts paste. I'd give $40 for it,
and not cent more. katz is a big
bluff The people got dead on to his
game and he had to quit"
"Bah," spoke up Sullivan. "The pace

the covering which started the bulge was
done by bunch Of small shorts as trad
ers known to have outlines but showed
no signs Of stampcding. The immediate
cause Of the jump to 81 was the buying
of about $50, 900 bushels by Counsclman
& Day. After that price was reached,
however, the market dropped back very
quickly to 81 rs, but another spasm OF
covering sent it up again to 9S IS. De-
