The Prudentials Annual Statement.

No other life insurance company
whose age is the same as The Pru-
dentiars has ever made such an in
crease in Its business in any one year
as has been shown by The Prudential
Insurance Company of America for
the year 1901. Over $273,ooo, 900
of life insurance was written and
placed, making the total amount of
insurance in fotce over $7oS,ooo,o 900.
Big increases are shown in the
amount paid to policy-holders; in the
assets of the Company; in the yearly
income; and in the surplus of assets
over liabilities.
Altogether, the first year of the new
century was most successful one for
The Prudential. 1t is quite clear that
such results have been achieved only
by the most vigilant management and
the most upright and honorable bust
ness methods IN carrying out the work
OF providing life insurance protection
for the people. Write to the Home
Office of the Company, Newark, N. j.,
for information concerning its policies,
which furnish guaranteed protection
to the family, as we'll as dividends to
the policy holder.

Supreme Court Gases.

The Supreme Court for this dis
trict, comprising the counties of
Luzerne and Columbia, will convene
on the second Monday Of April being
the 18th, at which time the following
cases will be called.
Ida Welliver VS.. Pennsylvania
Canal Company. Herring and Ikeler
attorneys for plaintiff. Waller and

and Gearhart attorneys for plaintiff.
Waller and Scarlet for defendant.
William Bernlnger VS.. The Halle
ton, Sunbury & Wilkes-Barre Railway
Company. Herring, Rhawn and
Small attorneys for plaintiff. Waller
and Scarlet for defendant.
In the Melick case the action was
for damages sustained by the plaintiff
while performing work in pursuance e
of contract with the County Com
missioners to fill the approach at tine
east end of the river bridge. The
plaintiff alleged that he was hindered
and damaged by the action of the
Pennsylvania R.. R. Co. in placing
distractions so that HI was obliged
to haul material from the cinder tip
on this side OF the river, instead OF
from the river hill near the fill. A
verdict of $I2oo was rendered in the
Columbia county court in favor of the
plaintiff. From this an appeal was
taken by the defendant to the
Superior Court, and that tribunal
affirmed the judgment of the court
below. The defendant then appealed
from the Superior Court to the Su-
preme Court where the case will be
heard at the time above named.
The Weliver case is an action for
damage to land by water from the
canal of the defendant.
