n. Richardson, ct ais.
Rescript by Strout J.-This is bill in
equity to enforce an alleged lien upon
buildings. In the decree appealed from.
the sitting justice found, among other
facts. that "the plaintiff undertook to
plaster for the defendant Richardson the
houses named in the plaintiff s bill. He
began work in July, 1895, and finished
his skim coating on the 18th OF August
then following, took away MS staglngs
and tools and vacated the premises,
having completed the contract, upon
which at the stipulated price per yard the
sum of 1915. 60 then became due and pay
able, and upon which sum he has received
a payment of Sl91. 90, leaving balance
of 1926 due More than forty days there
afterwards, to wit, on October 70, 1895, he
filed with the city clerk OF the city of
Portland his claim for lien upon the
houses and land when his lien therefor
had already expired.
ION October T. 1895, within forty days
after he had completed his job as afore-
said the plaintiff went to the houses with
two men, the carpenters then having
finished their work upon the same, and
patched I'D any bruises or injuries caused
by them to the plastering and sundry
triffling imperfections in the same left by
the plaintiffs men when they vacated the
premises OF the 18th OF the previous
August, for which no extra charge was
made or claimed - These findings of fact
by the sittin. justice should not be re-
versed unless it clearly appears to be er-
roneous. The burden to show the error
falls upon the appellant. He must show
the decree appealed from to be clearly
wrong, otherwise it will he affirmed.

REVENUE BILL
Passed by the House Just as It Came
from the Republican Members Of
Committee.

Washington. April 29.-The House
to-day passed the war revenue bill with
only the amendments agreed upon by
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee added. In order
to accomplish this, parliamentary
manoeuvre was necessary, as the whole
time for amendments was exhausted by
the minority in trying to amend the
bond feature of the bill Mr. Dingley
offered as d substitute an entirely new
bill containing these amendments after
tle bill had been reported to the House.
This was an old parliamentary trick
frequently resorted to years ago. The
Morrill, tariff law was passed in this
way in its original form after it had
been loaded down with amendments in
committee of the whole Many amend
ments were offered to the bond feature
of the bill, ranging from a proposition
for the substitution of an income tax
provision to an authorization for an
issue of $4,000 600 greenbacks But
all were voted down.
AT the last minute the Democrats de-
cided to offer the motion to recommit
with instructions to report back the in
come proposition as an amendment to
the bill instead of as substitute for
the bond provision. This was due to
the fact that a number of Democrats
had declined to vote to strike out the
bond provision. The motion was de-
feated. 134 to 173. Four Republicans
voted with the Democrats and Popu-
Its on this vote. But on the final pas
sage of the bill (Which was carried ISL
to l3l the Democrats and Populists
with six exceptions, voted solidly
against the bill. The Democrats who
voted for the bill were Messrs. Cum
mings, Mcclellan and Griggs. of New
York: Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts;
McAleer, of Pennsylvania. and Wheeler.
of Alabama Two Republicans. Messrs.
Linney of North Carolina. and Thorp.
of Virginia, voted with the opposition.
Quite a number of Democrats declined
to vote.

Causes the Destruction of a Good
Part of the Town Of Duryea, Pa

Scranton, Pa, April 29.-Duryea,
six miles from here, was visited this
morning by one of the most extensive
and damaging mine settings that have
ever occurred in this part of the an
thracite coal regions. The cave took
place over the old workings in the
Hallstead NINE owned by the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western Com
pany and extends over a territory OF
one-half to three-quarters OF a mile
square, in one of the most thickly
populated parts of the town, and af-
fects more or less one hundred stores
and dwellings.
Two men, Thomas Williams and
David Emanuel are entombed by the
mine.
All the houses in the immediate
vicinity rocked as though shaken by
an earthquake, and through the wide
opening in the surface flowed streams
of water, let loose by the breaking OF
the water mains. Chimneys were lev
eled to the ground, foundations rocked
and furniture was tumbled in pro-
fusion about the apartments.
Residents ran out of their homes
panic-stricken, while others who were
penned in by reason Of the jamming OF
the doors, fought hard in their efforts
to be liberated. From the rumbling
noise that preceded the shock, many
were inclined to the belief that it was
the forerunner Of an earthquake.
Several men were timbering in the
mine, which has not been worked for
month. Strenuous efforts are being
made to rescue the two imprisoned
men. 1t is not known that they are
alive
