What was probably the largest dam
age verdict ever recorded in the his
tory of Luzerne county was rendered on
Monday when the jury in the case of
Joseph Stevenson VS.. Ebervale Coal
Company and others returned a verdict
for the plaintiff awarding him $32, 7Os
as damages sustained through the pol
luton OF the Nescopeck creek. The
verdict was the outcome of one of the
most brilliant legal battles ever fought
In the local courts. The trial lasted
two weeks. The defendants will at
once apply for new trial and, failing
in this, will fight the case through the
higher courts.
The history of the case is an inter
esting one and several other cases of a
similar nature may be entered.

THERE seems to be probability
that songs are to give way to buttons
in t be coming presidential campaign.
Campaign songs in presidential cleo
tionsa have come TO be regarded as
almost as essential as campaign
speeches and, ordin arily, the national
committees of the rival parties have
special departments for the employ
ment, compensation and disposal of
glee clubs and singing qusrtettes.
This is especially true of the republi-
cans, who have in all recent nation al
elections utilized, especially in the
west, this feature of modern campaign
ing. The Importance of such songs,
however, has been eclipsed by the
great popularity, as a symbol of .pollti-
cal allegiance, of campaign badges and
buttons, the use of which has become
so general, and the expense of which
has been so much reduced, that the
song writer's occupation is nearly
gone. Then, too, buttons may be turned
out of a machine by the million, while
effective sopg-writers must be born
one at time.

but no reply.) my democratic
friends, you are now up against the

He pictured the free coinage advo-
Gates as "standing on the shore OF time
and looking backward into the Six
Thousand wears of the worlds recorded
financial history and flying boldly
into the face of every financial fact and
monetary precedent established during
all that time.' The American people,
he affirmed, have come to understand
from actual experience that they are
mot so much interested in the amount
of money in this country per capita as
thew are interested in the amount OF
money per pocketa.. When the re-
publican party went into power several
things rose: "wheat rose, pork rose,
beef rose, land rose, labor rose, human
i.y rose, the flag of the nation rose,
everything from one end OF this nation
to the other rose except the democratic
party, and you bet your life that has
been going down hill" Laughter
and applause.)
These specimens of humor are disap-
pointing. A little less slang and
little more dignity would have
improved the speech. The wild-eyed
newspapers of the state of Washington
that call their representative 'the
new Abraham Lincoln" because he Is
supposed to bear personal resem-
blsnce to Mr.. Lincoln, and because OF
his oratory, must withdraw the claim.

IN Nice the weather has been SO cold
that the proprietor of one OF the hotels
there, who has been sending daily re-
ports of the thermome ter readings to
the New York Herald, was hard put to
it to tell the truth without hurting the
towns reputation for salubrity, and
consequently his own business. The
temperatures he reported were SO much
higher than those received from
other sources that q man was sent by
the Herald to investigate. He found
the thermometer hanging against the
stove in the hotel office. It was taken
out in the sun every day and read be-
fore it had time to cool off.

dent of the Postal Telegraph company,

ton of purpose and energy. He ad-
