turned in short time with verdict
for the plaintiffs for $l55.5O, which is

not attend the trial
The suit of Joseph Beshara, the Syr-
ian merchant, vs. the Great Eastern
Casualty and Indemnity company of
New York was tried yesterday after
noon, taking but a short time. The
plaintiff carries accident insurance with
the defendant company, and claims that
last Jan. 18th while he was riding on
his bicycle on the street near the hos
pital he was run into by runaway
team and injured. He claims that his
right shoulder was sprained and that
he was confined to his bed for two
weeks and that he was obliged to have
assistance in his store for eight weeks
He sued for $l05, or seven weeks dis
ability benefit at SIS week. Plymat
& Plymat conducted his case.
The defense was that the proof of in
jury was not presented in time and
that the plaintiff was not injured. A
physician who was treating Beshara for
another complaint said that he was able
to visit his office during the time that
he claimed TO be incapacitated.
The jury was out but short time
and then agreed upon a sealed verdict,
finding in favor of the defendant The
latter's attorney was Benjamin Taylor.

RAINFALL WAS HEAVY.
Precipitation Of 1.22 Inches Durinu
Saturdays Storm.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From tuesdays Daily.
During the wind, rain and hail storm
of Saturday afternoon, there was a COP
ious precipitation of moisture. The
reading of the rain guage at Sibley park
showed that between eight O'Clock Sat
urday morning and eight o'clock Sun
day morning, l.22 inches had fallen
nearly if not quite all of this coming
down in the space of about one hour
on Saturday afternoon.
1t may give some idea of the magni-
tude of this rainfall, when one consid-
ers the reading between eight O'Clock
Friday morning and eight. o'clock Sat
urday morning. This was only two
tenths of an inch, although it appear
ed that there was considerable rain
fall.

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR THE Dogs

A member of Council is authority
for the statement that in view of the
large number of parsons bitten there
is a sentiment in that body favoring
the muzzlng of the dogs for the pres
ent as well as carrying out the other
provisions of the Borough ordinance
relating to dogs.
The member quoted regards the
situation as little short of alarming
and he stated that he had no doubt
that Council on Convening will order
a wholesale muzzling of the dogs dur
ing the hot weather as is done in Mil
ton and some other neighboring towns.
Something will in all probability be
done TO get even with those people
who eVade the payment of dog tax
These persons at least will be Obliged
to invest in tag TO be attached to the
dog, otherwise the canine, if permitted
TO remain at large, will be hustled off
to the dog pound and unless redeem
ed will ultimately find his way to tho
borough crematory.
The proposition Is heartily approved
of by all well meaning people wheth-
er 1t relates to the muZzling of dogs or
the wearing of tags. Those who are
careful to pay their dog tax, however,
are anxious TO know whether the
charge for the tag in all cases is to be
the same. They admit that while in
those cases where no taxes have Deen
paid on the dogs the Borough would
be justified i'll charging well for the
tags to reimburse itself, yet in other
cases where the law has been lived up
to and the dog tax paid regularly it
would be very unjust to impose on the
owner the same price for q tag. The
actual cost OF the tag is merely nomin-
al and the matter it is held, could
easily be adjusted so as to do injustice
to no one. When the use of tags was
resorted to in the past it is claimed
that no distinction was made, and the
cost of tags was the same in all cases.
The excitement over the dogs still
continues. Josiah Jobborn while re-

ing was slightly bitten. Oddly enough
in this case the offending dog wore a

ed was either not of the right sort or
one improperly adjusted.

USED SALVATION
ARMY TACTICS

A unique method of getting hearers
to receive the Word was resorted to
Sunday evening at the village of AL
media Rev. Slower of the Evangelical
church couldn't get the congregation
to come to him so he went 10 the con.
gregation.
For several months interest in church
work In the Evangelical church of Al.
media had been on the decline and
several Sundays when the good min-
lister Rev. StoveI repaired to his church
TO preach the Gospel he would find the
pews empty. He was resourceful,
however, and noticed that a large con.
gIegation of men and boys were al
ways gathered on Sunday evening at
the corner of the Englehart wagon
shop, near the church. He determin-
ed to have hearers enough even though
he had to go where they were.
On Sunday the minister with his
choir stopped at the street corner in
stead of going on to the church and
commenced the service. A large num-
ber of people were gathered together
sitting on the steps and OH piles of
lumber and ON old wagons.
The choir sang several selections, the
minister prayed and preached a very
instructive and interesting sermon. At
the close he announced that services
would again be held at the same time
and place in two weeks from Sunday
evening. 1t was strange procedure
but it worked and Rev. Stover had a
congregation.

Columbia and MOntOur Road

One Of the most important deals ever
consummated by the Columbia & Mon

which the Company has become the
owner OF the land which they now oc-
cupy on the tow path of the Pennsyl

wissa and which they now hold under
lease with the ID. l. & W r. r
The purchase of the land was made
at a conference held in New York City
last week between h. X SponsIer, rep

The purchase of this land has been
desired by the @. " NJ people for
some time, for holding il under moth
ing more substantial than lease, they
were at any time liable to lose that
right of way, practically the only
feasible way of getting into Catawissa,
the road from Rupert being too narrow
