town, Pa.

(Reprinted without permission from

HUSSELTOWN, Pa, A. -
An investigation of business condi-
lions in this manufacturing town
shows that every line of trade is
holding up remarkably well, save the
hosiery industry, which shows a
tendency to fall off. The following
summary is made of local affairs:
There is a ringing note of i'm
provement in the bell casting bust
ness.
Outlook for coal not so black as
earlier in the season, while the cop
per industry looks bright.
There is a certain slackness in
lime.
There is a pressing demand for
hay and pants. Both are gradually
being filled.
Notwithstanding the sharp compe-
tition in axes and carving knives,
prices are not being cut.
Considerable color is reported in
the paint market. The same is
true of the export trade in d~yestufs.
Money is easy and in fair demand.
Indications seems to point to
elevators and collins going lower,
while there Is a steady movement to
rise in yeast.
There is a noticeable %stiffening in
collars.
Beer is fiat.

! The White
a
case

Charles H. White, charged with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, was discharged in the justice
court yesterday afternoon on motion
of c. A. Eddy. attorney for defendant
After the prosecution had submitted
its testimony, defendants attorney
asked for a non-suit on the ground
that no evidence had been adduced
showing that money had been fraud
ulently obtained.
In sustaining the motion, Justice
Marriott said: Il will have to grant
the motion. Although | feel certain
that the defendant has obtained
money not legally belonging to him.
In all the testimony submitted there
lis nothing to show that he defand-
ant deceived the parties from whom
he obtained the money. The evidence
given by Mr.. Brown, manager of the
Stag shows that he gave the $50 to
White the second time in order to
prevent a disturbance in his place of
business, and assumes the nature of
a gift. For these reasons the case
is dismissed"
According to testimony of Con-
stable Mclean, who fell down in
making a case, White attempted to
have the matter Strengthened out
Monday evening. White had tried to
get. the evidence of two surveyors
with whom he was working ON the
railroad survey, and they informed
him their testimony would be a
detriment to him, as they saw him
receive the money the second time
from Mr.. Brown. At his request the
subpoenas issued for his former as
sociates were not served.
