MORE GROUND CAvING IN.
Residences in the Vicinity of Sum-
NIT Avenue Greatly Affected.

c, W. stones residence on Summit
avenue, which was seriously affected
early Wednesday morning by the
ground caving into the mines beneath
the foundation, almost toppled over
yesterday morning from the addition
al weakening of the foundation by
continual caving. The building is now
resting upon heavy beams.
1t is supposed that the thawing OF
the ground weakened it. thus causing
the caving, but it is not known into
which mine workings the ground has
gene. In the rear of the property, at
the corner of North Main avenue and
Wood street, is a hole twenty feet
deep and about eight feet wide. This
is caused by a caving into the Diamond
mine workings.

In the United States district court
yesterday the case Of the government
against Jacob Green was given to the
jury about go o'clock but up to the
adjourning hour a verdict had not been
reported. The witnesses heard yester-
day on the part of the defendant were
Attorney S. j. Strauss, Nathan Levi
son, the father-in-law of Green, and ii.
Rubinsky. The defendant was also on
the stand for a short time. The defense
was that Green was engaged in a leeiti-
mate business and when he failed he
did so because business reverses over
whelmed him and he could no longer
keep on his feet. There was nothing
about the actual failure that would give
the idea of criminal intent.
In law points presented to the court
it was held by the defense that the gov
eminent had not shown any criminal
intent in the use of the mails by Green.
The closing arguments were made by
Attorney James Scarlet for the defend
ant, and District Attorney Heiner for
the government.
Immediately after that case went to
the jury owen Holland. of InkeTman,
near Pittston, was arralgned for sell
ing liquor without a revenue license
and brewing corn beer without paying
brewers tax. Assistant District Attor-
neys d. NJ. Miller and j. y. Laugham
conducted the case of the govern
ment, and District Attorney Martin, Of
LuZerne county, appeared for the de-
fendant. The case was given to the
jury at o'clock. Judge Burlington di-
rected the jurors to return n verdict of
not guilty in the matter of the indict-
ment charging the manufacture of corn
beer.
This morning Counterfeiters George
Czepotias. Christ Knowsky and Charles
Moses will be put on trial They oper-
ated in Luzerne and northumberland
counties.
Charles w Shaffer, of Emporium, was
yesterday admitted to practice in the
district and circuit courts on motion of
Attorney James Scarlet.
Yesterday the grand jury returned
another batch of true bills. one of
them was against Francis A. 10th, edi-
tor of the Sloviak News of Hazleton
who was indicted for sending his papers
through the mails, the allegation being
that it contained matter of an obscene
nature. The issue in question was is
sued on March &c. 1895. and the alleged
obscene article was with reference to
the conduct of certain church officers.
Eight true bills We're returned against
George Czepatias for having in his pos
session counterfeit coins and mOuds
for making the same, and for passing
counterfeit coin. Seven similar indict-
ments We're returned against Christ
konosky and two against Charles
Moses. They are members of a gang
charged with operating in Luzerne and

TAILORING

A word to the woman who wishes
high-class costumes and believes that
some local tailor can meet her desires.
The mere fact that our great gathering
of men-tailored gowns and jackets are
the results of more than one mans de-
signing is worth careful consideration.
Our garments are designed by men who
do no cutting or making; who simply
study the progress of fashion and
evolve the smart styles that only Paris
inspires. There is no characteristic
sameness. Such as one man designing
holds in any two styles shown here.
The characteristics of our suits are the
individual characteristics that meet the
approval of your individual tastes.
New gowns have come this week To
take the place of last weeks visitors.
Come and enjoy fresh seeing.

 from time to time. In the meanwhile the news was spread that congress was about to declare against any allegiance to the British crown. Therefore i the people were well prepared for the news of early July and they should have been ready to celebrate. On the 2d of July the decisive resolution was passed and as matter of historical ac-
 tracy July 2d is the day we should celebrate. John Adams said: "The 2d day of July will be the most mem orable epoch in the history of America. l am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as a great anniversary festival" After the resolu- tion had been adopted then congress had to set forth the reasons for the Dec laration and two days of debate fol- lowed. No one made a record of the speeches during this debate When the revised Declaration of Independence was finally adopted oR July 4 there was DO particular iubilation of any kind in the streets of Philadelphia or else where. The public had not yet heard the document. It required four days for ,he printing of the Declaration and then on July it was read to the pop ulace from the balcony of the state house. That day was given over to pub lie rejoicing. Bells pealed and every one suspended work. The suspension of work was no doubt as popular in those days as it is at present.

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of am Honored Trade Name Up- held by the United States
 Circuit Court.

Tue California Fig Syrup Co.,, of San
 Francisco, has just won legal victory
 which is of utmost public interest, as it
 establishes judieially fact long recog-
 nized ethically that the name or the title of an article is valuable property,
 entitled to the same protection as chat tels or commercial paper The com pany mentioned manufactures an ex- eellent laxative which has been exten- siyely advertised and acquired valu- able reputation under the name Syrup
 of Figs or Fig Syrup" Trading on the reputation of this remedy other manufacturing concerns applied the same name to laxative medicines made by them. The California Fig Syrup Co. took the matter in the United States courts and obtained permanent in- junction, of which the following is the text:

Joking with an official.

They tell good story about an attache ot the courthouse on Leavenworth street Two iokers began ''monkeying' with his telephone the other day, discounecting it and otherwise bothering the official. Shortly afterward one of the iokers called up the officials from another office and in- trodueed himself as being the chief oper. ator at the central office For heavens sake see what's the matter with your tele. phone up there" he eruffly spoke to the of teial. 'Nhateyef's the matter l don't know, but your electric current IS flowing like mad into the central office here and there's about an inch of it on the floor al- ready The official grew pale with fright and he rushed into the office of the two iokers. Now you've done it. he began to tume with sincerity. "The main office has just called me up and says that on account oi your blamed fooling the electric current is submerging the central office, and the girls are quitting work Come in here now and fix that up. The two jokers expressed sor. row to the official, went in and pretended to tighten screw and then went down eel lar and took turns in having spinal menin. gltls.-Waterbury Democrat.

NEW YORK MAPLE SUGAR.
A Belt in the Empire State which Surpasses VermOnt's Famous
 Product.

''I have sopped pancakes in the maple siruP, and got toothache from the maple sugar, and stomach ache from the wax pullings of the maple bilin's of five states and 16 counties, all the way from old Vermont to Michigan, including Sehoharie county, N. H., said man from that part of the state, and l have been ready to stand up and say, and to bet heavy on what l said, that the sun never shone on any land nor quiekened it to the production of anything that could even begin to think of being one-half as good as the maple sugar that Seboharie county boiled down out of it's sap, or the maple sirup that Shoharie county got out of it's sugar, or the maple wax that we pulled out Of both of 'em. But that was before I got over into Otsego county. When l struck sugaring-of of Otsego eounty's first run of sap had to admit that I had never known before what sap could really be made to give up. But by and by I was domieiled in Delaware county Then 1 stood up and declared that l had found out at last what maple sugar really was. I began to think tlfat whatever of excellence there was in the maple sugar of Shoharie and Otsego counties was due to the curcumstanees of their contiguity to Delaware county, and I reflected on how fortunate Scho- harie and Otsego were to be there.
 ''As matter of fact, now that l am reminded of it by the census we have just taken of this seasons yield of maple sugar in those three counties, and found that it isn't far from 1,OoO,- GOO pounds, ] don't suppose there is any difference at all in the quality of the sugar made in all that particular maple belt extending from the Delaware coun- ty Catskills on the south through Scho- harie and Otsego and into Cortland county, this state, and embracing Wayne and Susquehanna counties, in Pennsylvania. If the sugar makers of that belt would only give the attention to this business and apply to it the sys- tematic methods that have made the products of the Vermont naples world famous, they would soon be as famous as their brethren in Vermont. As it is. their product ranks second in the mar lxet to that of the Green Mountain state. Anyhow, a million pounds of maple sugar from springs running of sap in three counties isn't so bad. It sort O fills in the chinl1s in the bank ac- count, and makes us feel good for put ting in the corn and taters. We're a great nation up Schoharie way N. '. Sun.
