Ah, what dream that was! was back at Monte Carlo with the dear general, my only true friend and bene- factor; the red and the black and the spinning wheel and the clink of the chips all combined to make me think or heaven. I was winning. Luck was with me and I could not lose. With the blood of the reckless gambler which flows through my veins I doubled and doubled and yet I won.

Judge Smonton. of Harrisburg, ar
rived in the afternoon and listened to
arguments in three cases he tried here
at the May term of court ON was
the ejectment suit of Michae! Flannery
and others against L. f. Mcdonnell ana
T. ]. Gilpatrick of Carbondale. Anoth-
! er was in the rule 20 strike off the non
! suit in the case of Mrs. Bevaney
| against the Carbondale Traction COM
| pany, a trespass suit brought for dam
| ages for the death of her husband
| who was killed While walking on the
| street car track on Brooklyn street in
| that city. The case was non-suited on
| the ground of cOntributory negligence.
The other case was that of Gibbons
and Norton against Ellen Moran. This
was a suit on a mechanics lein for
about 81 900, and the argument arises
from a question of law which was re-
served at the time of the trial of the
| case. viz: whether the description Of
| the land in the lien is sufficiently eX-
plicit or not. The plaintiffs claim that
it is sufficient, and also ask for ar
amendment in case the court should
he of a different opinion. The dcfen-
dant claims that as the adjoining ow-
ners are not given there is nothing
10 locate the lot, and that as the six
months allowed by law to file a lien
has expired. the plaintiffs are not en-
titled to amend. The plaintiff was rep
resented by NJ. A. Mckinley, esq, and
T.. G.. NcwCOmb, esq, and Attorney Nos~
aurg argued for the defendant.

LIGHT SENTENCES.
Women Convicted of Shopiitiing viii
Spend Thirty Days in the
County Jail.

Mrs. Rachel Wncham and Mrs
Mary Thomas. of the North End, were
sentenced to thirty days in the county
Jail by Judge Gunster yesterday. They
We're convicted last week of stealing
from the store of Jonas Longs Sons.
Attorney G. w Dawson made n plea
to the court for suspension of sentence
and presented petition signed by
nearly one hundred well-known resi-
dents of the community in which the
women reside. He said that Mrs
Thomas is getting quite old, and for
ten years she had to work hard to sup
port her family by means of washing,
ironing, and other household work.
He said for Mrs. Wincham that she
has two small children, and the sep
aratiOn from them would be an untold
hardship. Both women had suffered
punishment of sufficient character in
the humiliation and shame of the ar
rest and trial to compensate the ends
of justice. Judge Gunster made the
following remarks:
Il do not see my way clear to sus-
pend sentence. | know it will be Il
severe hardship to the families of these
defendants to take them away from
their children. But the innocent al
ways suffer most. That is one of the
greatest restraints that controls sOci-
ETY., the fear that misconduct may
bring suffering on those whom we love.
Some imprisonment must he imposed
in this case. There must be a stop to
this pilfering not only to restrain the
defendants again. but also to restrain
others from initiating their example" g."
Mrs. Wincham's two-year-old daugh-
ter is seriously i'll, and she was allowed
to wait until next Monday before en-
tering upon her period of imprson-
ment. Both women were visibly agi-
tated during the remarks of their at
torney and the words of Judge Gunster.
They frightened up considera bly,
though when sentence was imposed
for they expected to be sent to Jail for
term ranging anywhere from six
months to year.
Thomas McDermott was on the list
last week charged with refilling regis
tered bottles that belonged to another,
and sentence was suspended on the
condition that the bottles he took be
restored to their owner. He must come
back at the October sessions and show
that he has fulfilled the obligation.
