A verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
OF $4,O2S.31 was returned last night, in
the cases of Attorney r. NJ Thornton,
of Wilkes Barre, against the Security
Insurance company of New Haven, and
the National Assurance company OF
ireland, which have been OH trial joint
ly before Judge Archibald in the United
States circuit court for the past eleven
days.
The Jury was out nearly nine hours
All the evidence was in and the closing
address concluded when court ad-
journed Monday. Juror Lawrence, OF
Dushore, who failed to get back Mon
day on account of a railroad delay, was
permitted to resume his place in the
box, BY agreement of counsel, ana the
full Jury was present yesterday morn
ing when Judge Archibald began his
charge.
In two hours review of the Facts
and exposition of the law, the judge
covered every feature of the case III IL
most thorough, clear and impartial
manner
The most important of the law points
he was called upon to discuss was that
bearing on the clause of the policies
covering loss by theft. The defense
contended that as the policies set forth
that the companies was not liable for
goods lost by theft the jury should be
instructed that if it believed that any
of the Thornton goods not accounted
for had been stolen the company
should not be held liable for them.
JUDGE WILLARDS ARGUMENT.
Ex-Judge Willard, in his closing ar
gument for the plaintiff, made the con-
tention that if the jury found that any
goods were stolen, and believed from
the circumstances of the fire that they
were damaged by fire before being
stolen, the plaintiff should be allowed
for these goods, az much as the jury
believed they had been damaged. The
defendants contention. which was un-
challenged by the plaintiff, was af-
firmed Internationally. The plantin's
contention was affirmed as an abstract
principle of law, but declared to be
impractcable of application. there be-
ing no way Of telling with any degree
of accuracy how much damage was
done the stolen articles.
The Jury went out at II o'clock and
was closeted until nearly o'clock p.
m. 1t is understood the jury unani-
mously dismissed the incendiary the
ory at the very outset of the case ana
spent all of the time it was out tigur-
ing on what damage the plaintiff had
actually sustained.
The plaintiff claimed he had about
$1,000 worth of property in the house
that was burned. His insurance was
$4,000. and he claimed that his loss eX-
ceeIed that amount The defense nut

CHRIsT's SECOND COMING.
scriptural Arguments to Prove It
Offered by Rev. DR.. Haynes.

Rev. Dir. l.. NJ. s. Haynes, of Bing-
hamton, delivered a sermon on The
Second Coming of Christ last night
before Il large congregation in the Penn
Avenue Baptist church. 1t was the
third of Il series of evangelistic sermons
which the doctor is delivering in this
church and was largely presenta-
tion of Scriptural arguments to prove
that Christ will really come back to
earth Il second time.
He pointed out that there are three
great fundamental or basic facts upon
which the Christian faith is founded.
The first of these, he said, is that there
was such II person as Jesus Christ born
into the worlG. Both sacred and pro-
fame history are agreed on this point,
he said.
The second great fact. he declared to
be that on the atonement of Jesus
Christ depends mans personal saliva
ton. Equally as important as these,
he said, is the great fact of the second
coming of the Saviour He first came
as IL lowly child, the doctor said, but
when He comes again. He will come in
His imperial power and sitting upon
the throne of His kingdom will reign
necessity of preparing for this second
coming of the Lord was dwelt upon.
Dr. Haynes will deliver a sermon
tonight on The Resurrection" and will
give Bible talk this afternoon on
The Seven Tall Palms in the Forest
of Psalms
AS will be seen by glancing at an
other part of The Tribune this morn
ing, DR.. Pierce has decided to introduce
business methods into his church work,
and is advertising the eVangelistic
meetings by means of big display ad.
It's a little bit revolutionary, said
he last night, but | think it perfectly
fit and proper. The theaters adver-
tise extensively and so do the mer-
chants who want to sell goods. Why
shouldn't the churches advertise as
we'll? Haven't they got something to
offer infinitely more precious than the
theaters or the merchants?'
