The only case tried before a jury at this
term of court extended over five days, and
resulted in a verdict on Saturday evening in
the case of AMMAN & Horner, of Emmitsburg,
| against Martin E. Valentine in favor of the
plaintiff for $780, The defendant was surety
| for James G. Shriver, of Ohio, on a note for
| 81 ZOO, dated July 2, 1904. After that date
Shriver became indebted to Amman Il Horner
for other sums, and farm owned by him was
sold and the proceeds, after the payment OF a
mortgage, applied to the later Indebtedness
| by his direction. The defendants claimed
| that this balance should have been applied to
the note of July 2, 1904. The verdict was
| against this assumption and in favor OF the
plaintiffs. Rowe and Reifsnider for plaintiffs;
| Sebold. Stoner and Weant for defendants.
After this case was disposed of court adjourned
for the February term.

the fire panics in the Auditorium and

Italian church in this city became ter
rifed Sunday at the sight of steam es.
Gaping from a radiator and at the cry
of fire fought blindly for freedom.
The women and children were
crushed to the floor and trampled un-
der foot Many were badly cut on
glass from windows, those nearest the
outer walls not waiting to make their
way to the door, but smashing the
glass with hymn books, prayer books
or with their fists.
When most of the congregation had
reached the outer air the remaining
members were qnieted with assur-
ances of safety and the cause OF the
panic became generally known. None
of those hurt will die.
