TINS line of evidence, introduced no

possibility of the oars having drifted

theory. is still quite satisfactory to me.
admit that l thought that the oars
might have drifted to Deer island, but
that was my own idea. 1t has been
shown to have been impossible, and
now | am ready to accept it as fact
That they did not drift there. This
brings me to the flaw in the chain of
OF circumstantial evidence. We have
been shown that Mr.. Norton and my
client We're heard quarreling in Mr.
Norton's room and that after that the
deceased left the house. as did also nv
client. Later the miller's son sees nv
client return from trip on the lake.
Here, then, from the mouths of the
prosecutors witnesses we find the
weak spot in their case. My learned
adversary will explain that the oars
found on the island reached that point
IN the boat; that the two men went to
the island together, thus using both
pairs OF oars; that the killing was done
there and that my client then returned.

the dead body. Now. gentlemen, ap-
peal to you, is that reasonable? These
men quarreled just before this trip Is
1t likely that they would Immediately
after go off on pleasure trip to Deer
island at midnight? Is it likely that
they would be in the same boat at all?
Certainly not. But, even granting that
and admitting the killing, is it prob
able that my client would deliberately
leave behind him pair of oars known
W SSAotAo ~ I'LL vi, even SIiullug
forgetfulness to that extraordinary ex-
tent, is it likely that he would take
witness with him on the following
morning to that very island to discover
the body and show the oars floating in
the water? Is it not more likely prob
able that he would have gone alone to
recover the oars and that he would
have left the body where it was till 9TH
ers found it, perhaps weeks afterward?
Certainly, as you are intelligent men,
you will see that the theory Of the
prosecution is ridiculous. But l must
In some way, then, account for the
presence Of the oars at the island. We
know that Mr.. Norton was out WHY
may it not be that, after my client had
returned to his bed and after the mill
ers son had gone fishing, Mr.. Norton
took this pair of oars, loosed the boat
from the stake and went over to Deer
island, where by some accident he was
drowned and the oars left in the

The ancients believed that rheuma-

A Elourishing Industry.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Collins-Hale Manufacturing company
was held at the office of Edward Gum
ster, Coal Exchange building, ycster-
day. pursuant to resolution of the
board OF directors, TO take action on
the approval or disapproval of the
proposed increase of the capital stock
of the company from $4,000 to $4,000.
All the stockholders were present or
represented and the vote on increasing
the capital was carried without a dis
senting voice. The new capital is to
be expended partly in enlarging the
factory and buying new machinery,
and the remainder for working capi-
tai and for paying a $4,000 mortgage.
The factory is in South Wilkes-Barre
and the demand for it's upholstered
goods is rapidly being extended.

OLD ROMAN STREETS.
As a Rule They Were Marrow and
None Too Cleanly,

From the London Architect.
The extreme height and overhaneing
stories of the Roman buildings were
source of danger to the citizens IN
more ways than one. There were
many important thoroughfares in
Rome that were always in the shade;
only at high noon did streak Of sun
light find it's way between the build
ings to the pavement. The streets
were thus always damp for. although
Rome was severed and there was
penalty against throwing slops ir.o
the streets, the city was none too
cleanly. and there We're frequent hu-
morous illusions, among the poets . nd
writers of odds and ends, to the mis-
fortunes sustained by pedestrians, who,
while passing along the street, were
deluged by buckets of slops careless.y
thrown from upper windows. Pliny
mentions a wedding which ended in a
riot on account of the leading partici-
pants being thus besprinkled with filth
not Of design, but through the care
lessness Of a housewife.
There was another danger hardly
less serious. Queer as 1t may seem to
us in these days of gas and electricity,
the streets of city which certainly
contained 1000, -, and may have had
4.00U,vJ0 OF population, We're at night
in the darkness of Egypt. Such a
state of things presented singular facil-
tiles for the operations of footpads and
highwaymen, and the frequency with
which their operations were attended
by murder is shown by the numerous
epitaphs that have been discovered in
timating that he whose ashes Law be-
meath was killed by robbers. Every
householder. every tenant in a tene-
ment house, had to look after his own
security, and accordingly the doors of
residences at dark We're barred, every
window was secured by a strong iron
lattice, and in tenement houses the
street doors were fastened, and a CON-
mon fund, raised by the tenants, was
provided to secure the services Of a
watchman to look after the building.
In the tenement structures which had
q respectable class of tenants the
watchman went his rounds through
the building at regular intervals, but
in the better class of houses there were
generally two or more watchman, and
the one at the front door was chained
so that he at least would give proper
attention to business through the night.
Little heed seemed to have been paid
by the Roman builders to the edict of
Augustus. and from all accounts the
houses in the tenement districts rose
higher and higher. for In the next
forty or fifty years half dozen edicts
were promulgated Oh the subject.

which would not have been the case
had the first been obeyed. Nero did
more for Rome than any monarch be-
fore or after his day. Nero has prob
ably been the most abused individual
of ancient times. and his wanton cruel
ties. the barbarity with which he per-
secuted not only the Christians. but
all his opponents, political or religious.
his nameless vices the murders of his
relatives, chargeable to his account
all have combined to render him an
object of detestation to succeeding
ages. But, probably on the principle
of giving the devil his due" Profess
sor Lanciani has shown that the merit
Of remodellng Rome was due to this
monster In human form. If Lanciani
is to be believed, the great confagra-
tion which destroyed Rome in A. d. 81
was the work of Nero's agents, and
II the latest researches are to be cred
tied. the work was done with such ef-
fectiveness that of the fourteen wards
three were completely burned, seven
were almost totally destroyed and four
were damaged.
However this may have been, 1t Is
certain that as soon as the ruins had
grown cold the entire working popula-
tion of the city was given employment

ures. The imperial architects went to
work and reconstructed the entire plan
of the city. Without paying the
slightest regard to previous lines, new
structures were laid out as nearly
straight as the nature of the ground
would permit. Public squares, breath
ing spots. were located at convenient
places in the tenement district and a
law was promulgated that no residence
house should be higher than twice the
width Of the street. This seems to be
the first reference among the. Roman
building laws to any proportion be-
tween the height of the house and the
street. The changes proposed by Nero.
had they alt been carried out. would
have made Rome a city which for COM
fort convenience and safety was TN
equallel ir. ancient times. and not cas-
lily surpassed by modern cities.
Every tenement house or residence
building was to be isolated from its
neighbors; wooden ceilings in the two
or three lower stores were prohibited.
the ceilings rested on stone or brick
arches, wood being permitted only in
the upper stories. Every householder
was ordered to erect a wooden portico
in front Of his building that passersby
might have shelter from sun and rain,
while the width of the streets and the
isolation Of the buildings furnished a
reasonable guarantee against future
extensive disasters by fires.

The large buildings to be erected,
namely, the Young Mems Christian
association, Colliery Engineer printing
plant, Anthracite brewery. new ar
mory, Grand Army of the Republic
memorial hall, tin plate plant. new SILK
mill and others. will undoubtedly make
the season u very busy one. but there
r. one class of tradesman who will not
be especially benefited by these oper-
ations. and this is the carpenters.
Architect Harvey Blackwood. in
speaking about the situation. said yes
terday that the price of erecting an
ordinary dwelling had advanced nearly
SO per cent over what it would have
cost to erect one last year. There has
been a general advance in all classes
of material.
Hemlock has jumped from s11 to Ss
a thousand within the past few
months. Steel has gone up just 100 per
cent. and building hardware has also
gone up. The price of tin has ad-
vanced so per cent. and the price OF
other materials in proportion.
The present unsettled relations ex.
listing between the carpenters and their
employers is also looked upon by a
number of architects as operating
against a boom for a smaller class of
buildings.
The fact is pointed out that If build
ing materials were as cheap as they
were last year the coming season
would prove a bonanza for the small
contractor, as it is expected that the
time and attention of the larger ones
will be taken up with the construction
Of the big buildings to be erected.
