the large number of candles that are

by no means confined to any one re-

cemeteries they are used more eXten-
sively than elsewhere. And. OF course,
the extensive use Of candles in ether

a great deal to do with swelling the

here. They are Of all kinds. too, and
all sizes. Candles OF the finest pos.

"One OF the most praiseworthy lea
lures OF the Telephone Newspaper Is
its extraordinary cheapness,' reports
a writer for Pearson's. Each subscriD-
er pays but two cents day for It's
many advantages, and there are no
fees for having d receiver fitted to a

scribing to the speaking newspaper for
longer than four months. On these
favorable terms each station is pro-

having two ear tubes. so that two peo-

TO COMPROMISE SUIT
SAID CITY WILL PAY F. CLOSER
SOMETHING ON THAT
$4,000 DAMAGES.

The suit of Floyd Closer of this city to
recover the sum of $4,000 damages from
the city for injuries sustained in a street
car accident, it is understood, is likely to
be settled out of court by compromise. II
is stated on good authority that an offer
of $4,000 has been made by the city, and
that the plaintiff has signifed a willing
ness to accept the amount as settlement in
full of his claim against the city.
Attorney Templeman, who has been
handling the case, admitted that since
the case had been continued by Judge
Harncy until December 3, negotiations had
been begun looking to an adjustment of
the case. He stated that an offer had been
made by the city and expressed the belief
that it would be acceptable to Closer and
the latter's attorneys, Kirk and Clinton.
Mr.. Templeton refused to name the
amount offered by the city, but stated
positively that it was not $4,000.
Closer fell in front Of street car at
the corner of Broadway and Main streets
at the time the Hirbour building was in
course of construction and one OF his
arms was so severely manged that it was
found necessary to amputate the member.
Closer claimed that the city was rcspon-
siblc because the street was so obstructcd
with building material that he was COM
PEELED to alight from a car directly on the
street car track.

Testimony Of Men Who
Are Not Certain of
All They Testify.
CUTTING It DOWN
Direct Examinations by the
Heinze Attorneys Are
Getting Short.

The contempt proceeding in Judge
Clancy's court between Heinze and the
Boston & Montana company and some of
the latter's officials is moving faster.
Frank l.. Sizer, Heinze's fifth expert wit
ness, took the stand when court opened
today, the fourth expert for the United
Copper company having finished last even
ing.
Mr. Sizer's direct examination was very
short, indeed, and in it ne simply stated
that the blanket or Johnstown Discovery
or I'd raise vein has leen extended down
ward since the trial of the Pennsylvania
case, and also southwark, in order to
cover the ore deposits to the south, and
that the enargite vein CIR veins are part
Of the blanket.
That Enareite Vein.
He differed from his fellow experts in
his view that the streaks Of the enargite
vein may be separate and distinct veins,
testifyng this afternoon that such might
prove the case upon further development,
although he thought the streaks would
join deeper in the earth.
There were a good many things in the
earth in the way of slopes and workings
of other kinds that the witness said he
knew nothing about, and his evidence did
not indicate that he had come to the trial
very well prepared upon certain aspects
OF the case.
