WORKING EARTH AND SKY.

The Southern Railway has worked the earth for good while to the mu- tual interest of itself and the earth, and, not satisfied with its limited field, it is now taking hand at working the skies. Colonel Thweatt. its East ern manager, learned from the alma mac in his observatory at Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, New York, that there was to be an eclipse of the sun May 28, 1900 which seemed made to order to fit his line with regard to points of observation upon it in Ala bama, Georgia, the Carolinas and Vir- ginia. He at once made this known to the professors of a number of col leges, and to their classes who are pol ing up on astronomy in connection with party or a special rate, upon a short line basis, and convinced them that he was sound, both on the best points of view of the eclipse, and on tempting rates Consequently, several parties have already booked from New York and Brooklyn, and New England colleges; also, party from Princeton college and one from Allentown, with others considering ways and means. It will be a good outing for the sky scrapers, whether the day be clear or whether their lenses are befogged by clouds, specially if Colonel Thweatt be along. Meantime he will give any as- tronomer his detailed calculations who applies to him in person or by mail at his office, 11S5 Broadway, New York. Call Easton Pa

 HEdRD YESTERDJ
Charge of Malicious Persecution
 Against the Oyster Dealer.


 The suit of James A. Mccormick and wife against Riley T. Smith, member of the oyster firm of Jeremiah Smiths Sons was begun in the superior court yesterday.
 The action is brought to recover $5,000 damages for alleged malicious prosecution. Attorneys Charles Il. Fowler and John Elliott, appearing for the plaintiffs In his opening state ment to the jury MT. Fowler said that Mrs. Lydia Mccormick, two years ago kept student boarding house, and be- ing in need of money to buy furnish ings, asked for loan from MT. Smith. She got two blank notes and brought them to MT. Smith. He refus- ed to loan. the money, saying that he might need it in his business, but of- fered to indorse a note for her for $50, She tried to get the note discounted at the Mechanics bank, but the loan was declined, She did succeed, however, in selling the note to the late Edward E. Bristol, the Court street liveryman, who put 1t in the New Haven National bank before 1t was due for collection. He met MT. Smith on the street about that time and spoke to him about the note. MT Smith denied that he indors- ed the note. MT, Bristol then went to City Attorney Frank J. Brown, also since dead, and asked for the arrest of Mrs Mccormick for forgery. The ar rest was made, but the case was never presented in court. MT. Smith, in or der to avoid the notoriety of the case paid the amount of the note to Mr. Bristol. Then Mrs. Mccormick sued MT Smith for malicious prosecution. Mr. Smith says now, and expects to be able to prove in court that the note is a forgery. It seems that the note which was offered to the Mechanics bank and that sold to Mir. Bristol were two distinct pieces of paper. The first, MT. Smith says, he endorsed, but he re- pudiates the other, Henry L. Hill, the expert accountant, and Dr. A. J. Wolfe of Hartford have been summon ed as experts for the defendant. Law yers William H. Ely and Howard c. Webb are counsel for the defendant. The examination or the defendant had just been finished when court adjourn ed yesterday.
