OTHER COLLIERIES

On the Nescopeok creek are collier
les and these from time prior to 1902
have been sending quantities of oulm
down into the river; up the North
Branch and up the Lackawanna river
are collieries from which culm is
swept into the river In all there are
from $50 to 200 collieries up the river
that contribute TO the coal dirt in the
stream. Many of these have been in
operation for twenty years or more.
= Mr.. Wheaton defied any man to
stand on the river bank at this point
or elsewhere and surveying the depos-
its of coal and coal dirt say from
which mines any of it came. In view
of the great number of collieIies con-
tributing he thought the chances are
exceedingly slim that any appreciable
quantity of it had come from the de-
fendant's collieries thirty-five miles
up the Catawissa creek.

CAUGHT THEM.-A the very be-
ginning of Montgomery county teach
ers institute Tuesday the teachers
were trapped by the lecturer, DR.. N.
" O'Shea, of the University of Wis
consin. He was talking on anticipa-
tion of the mind, and pointed to sew
eral words on a chart and asked the
teachers to repeat them. This was
done with seeming correctness, but he
soon convinced the teachers that the
words were badly misspelled. He said
that it was like the boy who said that
a furlough was donkey, because he
had once seen picture in which a
soldier was riding a donkey, and the
inscription beneath was: "A soldier
riding home on furIough.

NON SUIT REFUSED

Judge Evans refused TO grant the
motion for compulsory non suit and
at lO:45 O'Clock Hon f. W. Wheaton
opened for the defendant, addressing
the jury for about half an hour.
He said that no depreciation of the
land had been claimed by the plaint-
itf until after the big flood accompany
ing the breaking of the ice gorge in
1904. The ice cakes deposited on the
lowlaud contained coal dirt and when
they melted the culm remained on the
land. The masses of ice came down
the North Branch and the coal dirt
that did the damage was gathered up
at various points, The burden, Mr.
Wheaton said, is on the plaintiff to
prove that all the culm on her land
came from the defendants coal works
and nowhere else.

The case, being tried, he said, was

the jury would not be able to ascer.
tain the proportionate share of the
damage to be horne by the defendant.
HINCKLEY'S ARGUMENT
Hon. II. NJ Hinckley argued siren
uously to overthrow the motion for
non suit. He contended that all the
evidence possible had been adduced to
show the extent to which the defend
ant company was responsible for the
damage sustained by reason of coal
dirt on the plaintiffs farm. He dwelt
upon the testimony of Mr. Mensch to
show that the condition of the culm
banks in 1909 was the same as in 1908,
"only they were larger. Evidence
adduced had shown that the culm
banks from 1901 to 1907 were built
down to the banks of the stream, which
with every rise washed away large
uantities of culm.
The plaintiff claims that the land
was damaged by culm that came down
the Catawissa creek. Mr.. Hinck-
ley contended that it was not neces-
sary for it to prove just what fraction
of coal dirt each of the five collieries
at the headwaters Of the Catawissa
creek contributed. Quoting Judge
Henderson in parallel case lie affir-
med that the proportion o: damage
can't be found to mathematical exact
ness, but that it is guess at best 1t
is the duty OF the jury after hearing the
evidence to determine the proportion
of damages

ATTENDANCE FROM

WILL Be LARGE
Many Applications For ReSer-
yationS Being Made at ST,
Vincent'S Academy, the Sc
Iect School For Girls,

The fame OF st. Nincents Academy
as an institution of learning for girls
and Young ladies, has gone abroad
throughout the southwest, more SO
than e~er during the past several
months, resulting in an unusually
large registration Of resident students
for the fall term, which viii open
Tuesday. September Is. Applications
from Arizona and New Mexico for ac-
commodations are being received daily
and the indications are that the en-
rollment OF resident pupils viii be the
largest in the history OF the academy.
The attendance from the city is eN-
pected to BE unusually large this year
also, all the old pupils and a number
of new ones having signitied their in
tention of being present on the open
ing day.
ST. Vincent's Academy is beyond "a
doubt the most select private schools
for girls in New Mexico, a fact which
is being more universally recognized
throughout the southwest as the years
go by. Established mere than a quar-
Ter Of a century ago. the academy has
progressed with the times. adding new
buildings, new equipment, new de-
partmcnts and neW teachers as the
growth Of the institution demanded.
Situated in "a beautiful part of AL
buquerque, and surrounded by spa
cious grounds, covering several
acres. With modern buildings and up-
to-date facilities of all kinds. the
academy is an ideal institution for the
training of girls.
The curriculum of studies is splen-
did, ranking with the best schools in
the country. During The coming year
special attention viii lie paid to
athletic exercises for both the day and
resident pupils. II is intended to or
game "a basketball team ana to con-
struct tennis and croquet courts
Altogether the proSi ects for a sue
ccssrul year are very bright for the
students and the institution.
