THE THIRTEENTH JUROR.
A Bill Pending in the Maryland
LestsIaturP for an Innovation.

The thirteenth juror, provided for in
a bill introduced in the Maryland sem
ate by President Randall, ought to
prove very valuable man, If the pass
age of the measure should give him a
chance to show what he can do. 1t is
no rare occurrence in important trials
for a juryman to be taken i'll and to
make a wholly new trial necessary,
putting the court, the attorneys and
the witnesses to a large amount Of ex-
ira labor and the state to double eX-
pense.
Under the provisions of Senator Ran
dalls measure, whenever a case is to
be tried before a jury in which the
crime charged is punishable with death,
or in which, whether criminal or civil,
the court deems il probable that the
trial is likely to be a protracted one,
the court may enter an order for a re-
serve Juror. This juror is to sit with
the other twelve, hear all the evidence,
but is to take no part in the jury's de-
liberation or in the rendering of the
verdict unless one Of the panel dies or
becomes physically incapacitated dur
ing the trial.
The plan may, at first glance, seem to
be a novel one, but ii has many fea-
lures to commend it. The expense of
the reserve juror would be very small
compared with the expense of mis-trials
| and of new trials, made necessary by
those sudden attacks of illness to which
| jurors are liable, and which are, no
| doubt, frequently caused by overcrowd-
| ed and badly ventilated court rooms

Shortly after midnight Saturday
night, Patrolman Saul discovered a bad
break in the gas and water mains
crossing Luzerne street on South Main
avenue. A cave-in had occurred of
sufficient size as to break the mains,
thus allowing great quantity of gas
and water to escape
The Gas and Water company and
Scranton Railway company were inn
mediately notified. Each sent large
force of men to look after the repairs.
The pressure of both the gas and water
at this point is very great and in a
short time stream of water was spurt-
ing like a fountain about three feet
above the street level, and the gas was
becoming almost unbearable The cav
ing-in occurred at point almost In the
centre of the intersection of the two
streets and near the V-shaped junction
of the Luzerne and Taylor tracks of
the street railway.
The great volume of water soon
washed quite a gully in the roadbed
and but for the large cutters and ex-
cellent grade to carry the water off,
great damage would have resulted. A
goodly portion of the water disappeared
into the hole. The opening was about
ten feet long and six feet wide on the
| surface and affected about twelve feet
| of the roadbed and rails of the railway
on the South Main avenue or Taylor
| line. 1t did not affect the Luzerne
| street switch at all, though the break
! was only about eleven feet from 1t.
None of the houses adjacent exhibited
any damage.
The disturbance occurred in almost
| the identical spot as the cave of about
three years ago, which spread over a
| considerable area and did much dam
age both to dwellings and land. Since
that time several minor slides" have
| occurred.
The base OF the trouble is said to lie
| in the old workings of the Central
| mines, which extend beneath this whole
territory. There are three veins and
all have been worked out and aban-
doned for several years. The only
| traces of yesterday mornings caving
that remains is the cinder filling and
the washed surface of the street wher-
ever the water spread. No inconveni-
ence in the use of the water and gas
or delay to the car service resulted, as
everything was cleared up by daylight
An amusing incident, however, oc-
| CURED later in the day when the water
reached those families who were re-
mote from the scene of the cave. Al
| Alderman Moses tap was left open
for the air to escape and was forgot
ten. The family meanwhile went out
and upon their return found a small
lake in the house.
