According TO the recapitulatlon OF

McCraeken county is s11.5so.33f as
compared with s12.07i.735 for 1907.
a loss OF s491.401. In the report the
bank stock Is not included, although
Il will swell the figures nearly n mil
lion dollars. Last year the bank
stock amounted approximately 20
$3.50. 900.
One reason given for the decrease
is that the board OF county super
visors did not meet this year. The
county officials thought since the year
has been a hard one for property
owners. the extra expense OF having
the board sit for 40 days would be
worse than TO let the property re-
main at the present Assessment, and
show a decrease.

GOVERNMENT AFTER 100000

New York, Feb. 10.-At the re-

court of the trial of the governments
six suits against the American Sugar
Refining company TO recover upward
Of $4,000 in damages for alleged
false weighing OF imports. Hart E.
Esterbrook OF the United States GUS
toms service at this port was called
as witness, and described the exact
process of duty-levying on sugar be-
fore the importer IS allowed to OBJ
tain the goods
A great mass OF documentary evil
dence consisting OF bills OF lading,
afiidavits and invoices, which consti-
tutes the basis of the government
case, was admitted over the objection
OF John B. Stanchheld. counsel for
the defense.
Photographs and diagrams of the
scales of the Havemeyer and Elder
refining docks In Brooklyn, purport-
ing 10 show the alleged fraudulent
appliance which, according TO the pict
ures. was in the nature of wire lever
upon the inside of the scale balance,
were offered in evidence.
Wires Were Connected.
United States welgher Thomas d.
Hyatt identified a small piece of wire
which he said had been taken from a
stanchion OF the scale directly in
front of the seat occupied by the com
pany's checker. The witness pointed
out on the diagrams how the wires
had been arranged and he declared
concealed by boards over the lower
half of the scale.
Two carpenters employed ON the
sugar oompany's docks identified Ger.
tain wood blocks and detached sec
tons of the scales which they had cut
out. These exhibits and diagroms
were all admitted as evidence over
the objection OF counsel for the de
Tense.
To Figure Discrepancy.
The cross-examination Of Mr.. Hy-
att was taken up at the afternoon ses-
sion. In answer to Lawyer Starch
fields questions, the witness said that
he had made unexpected visits to the
docks where cargoes were being
weighed. and had reweighed numer-
Gus truck loads and checked up the
figures with those made by the assist
ant weigher in the scale house.
And did you ever In that way ar
rive at any discrepancy in the
lfigures?" asked Mr.. Stanchfield.
NO. replied the witness.
1.-THE lawyer for the defense asked
the witness about the wire device
which he had found attached TO the
scales.
| How large was the hole through
which the wire was stuck?" he asked.
Hyatt said ii was so small, as to be
invisible without the aid of lighted
match.
