kind in the three kingdoms. Finally,
a main drainage scheme is now in
course of execution which will, among
other things, make the Liffey nearly as
pure in it's course through the city as
in it's upper reaches. And all this, it
may be added, has been done in face
of great odds. More than fifty years
ago, when the corporation was re-
formed and taken out of the hands of
the Orange ministry, which has ruled
it for 200 years, the city was so loaded
with debt that the very furniture in the
Mansion House had TO be redeemed out
OF the Sheriffs hands by O'Connell and
other members of the reformed NUM-
cipal body; and in addition to it's load
of debt the city has had to struggle
fercely from time to time against the
obstruction both Of the Government

GRIDLEY WAS NOT SENTENCED.
An Effort Will Be Made to Secure
the Old Mans Pardon

William Gridley, the old man who suf-
fered conviction in Judge Borden's court
on charge of grand larceny, was not
sentenced yesterday. His case was nut
over until September II for further pro-
cedure. 1t is thought that Gridley was
hardly responsible for his crime. Troubles
of various kinds and particularly the
fact that his wife was adjudged insane
not long ago weighed on his mind to such
an extent that he almost lost his reason

Voters will be called upon at the com.

amendment to section l, Article III. OF
the state constitution. The amendment
provides for what is termed the '~'Initia-

ton passed by a legislature referred to
chem in a popular vote for approval.

ali the points we believe covered by this

Now as to the reasons for it.. The

In fact, the smaller the part 10 which the
vote is taken the better. The nearer the
subject comes home for discussion the
more deeply will it be studied. 1t is a
small matter to compile the returns for
the whole. BY all means let US have the
initiative and referendum. 1t is the
essence Of Free independent and popular
government.

A Damage Suit.

The suits of William A. Case and
Martha Case, his wife, against the
d. L. & w. r. R., Co., have occu.
pied the court since Monday morn,
ing. The suit of w. A. Case is for
loss of his wife's services, and fol-
expenses incurred, and that of Mrs.
Case is for damages for injuries al
legged to have been received by her
at Berwick by being allowed to get
off the train at point below the
platform and falling against the end
of the platform in her efforts to get
back to the station. The testimony
of the plaintiff and the defendant
differs widely. Mrs. Case asserts
that she told the conductor that she
wanted to get off at Berwick; that
the station was not announce in
the car, and not knowing they were
at Be wick until the train had start
ed, she then went to the front end
Of the rear car and told the brake
man she wanted to get off at Ber-
wick. She was assisted off by the
conductor, who walked with her on
the side Of the train towards the
canal, to the rear end, then left her
alone among the rails and the train
moved off. She started towards
the depot and fell down among the
rails, and fell against the end of the
platform, from which she received
serious injury.
The defendants witnesses swear
that the rear car still Tapped the
platform when the train stopped;
that she was assisted off and escort
ed back to the platform by the brake
man; that arc lights were burning
near by; that she walked up the
platform and when near the depot
she stepped off the edge and fell
down.
The case was tried before Judge
Ikeler last February, and a verdict
rendered in favcr of the plaintiff for
$1,000. A rule for a new trial was
entered, but Judge Ikeler died be-
fore it was argued. After hearing
argument Judge Herring granted a
new trial.
c, G. Barkley Esq. and Judge
Hinckley are counsel for the plain
tiffs, and Major Everett Warren of
Scranton, Fred Ikeler and Geo. E.
Elwell represent the defendant. The
court directed verdict for the de-
fendant.

consequent upon old age.

uttered against his character. The
surviving members of the family are
Mrs. Mary c. Price, of Kansas; Mrs.
E. Hill, of Hazleton; Mrs. Clara A..
Freas, of Wilkesbarre; Hiram H.
Heller, of Lime Ridge and Mrs. Eli

a Bad Runaway.

]. M. Lehman, Chas. Mckinney
and little Nevine Mckinney of Espy
met with serious accident on Satur-
day, while driving from Bloomsburg to
Espy. The horse apparently became
frightened at some object in the road
and started suddenly to run, breaking
the harness.
This made him unmanageable. and
the occupants of the buggy were thrown
TO the ground. Mr.. Lehman's shoulder
was dlslocated, while young Mckinney
received kick from the horse, which
fractured his skull. Chas. Mckinney
escaped with few slight bruises.
While at first their condition was con.
sidered very dangerous, they are i'm.
proving very well under the circum.
stances.
