BOYCE SECURES A VERDICT Another Report by the Grand Jury. Large Number of Ignored Bills A True Bill lor Murder Humors of the Naturalization Court Cases Heard Before Judge Kelly. In common pleas court No.

3, before Judge Albright, of Allentown, yesterday morning, the hearing of the suit brought by William Baylor against Loren Stephens was resumed. The entire clay was consumed in hearing evidence in the case, and when court adjourned the testimony had not all been adduced. Baylor owns a farm in Benton township, upon a portion of which was a large growth of timber. In 1897 the defendant built a fire on his land, which adjoins that of Baylor, for the purpose of destroying brush and rubbish. Through Stephen's neglect, as the plaintiff contends, the fire was permitted to burn over upon Baylor's timber land, thereby destroying a large number of trees.

For this negligence he seeks to recover damages. Further evidence was heard on the part of the plaintiff yesterday. Wit nesses were called who testified that the fire started by the defendant was the cause of the destruction of the plaintiff's timber. The plaintiff's case was concluded at adjournment. The defendant's evidence will be heard to day.

VERDICT FOR BOTCE. The wage claim brought by Thomas P. Boyce against William Gilhool, which was called for trial before Judge Kelly on Monday, was given to the jury yesterday morning. Boyce sued to recover a balance of which he claims as wages owed to him by the defendant. The jury found a ver dict in favor of the plaintiff for $47.71.

In the case of Salvadore Magnotte against George Weiland, tried before Judge Kelly on Monday, the jury yes terday rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $36.61. The plaintiff sued to recover wages which he claim ed to be due him from the defendant. The suit brought by Frank Egli against William Freidman was re ferred to Attorney W. H. Roe.

BEFORE JUDGE KELLY. Yesterday afternoon, before Judge Kelly, the case of Mary Jane Cooper against her brother in law, William Petherick, was tried. The plaintiff sued to recover $3 per week for 73 weeks, during which time she nursed the defendant's wife, her sister, during a prolonged illness. The defendant de nled the contention of the plaintiff. He maintained that the plaintiff never performed any services for his wife during her sickness, but that she came to the house from time to time and visited her sister.

Messrs. Gibbs and Loughran appeared for the plaintiff, and Attorney John R. Edwards represented the defendant, A verdict will be rendered in the case this morning. In the case of Albert Cleave vs. John Isgierski, a claim for wages, judgment was given for plaintiff, the defendant not putting in an appearance.

Judge Archbald continued to struggle yesterday with the throng of men who are clamoring to become citizens of the only country on earth. He will, it is expected, get to the end of the list. There were some 1 consoling features during the day. The judge asked one man: "Who is the congressman from this district?" "Judge Archbald," was the prompt answer. "No, no," said Judge Archbald, smiling a mild protest.

"Yes, sir; yes, sir," rejoined the man emphatically, "I know." Judge Archbald subsided and to prevent any argument permitted the man to make him a congressman. Of course the man did not know the presiding judge. It would be difficult in such a case for Judge Archbald to refuse the application. "How many states are there In the Union?" he asked another applicant. "Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio," was the response.

"Where are the laws made?" was asked another. "Washington," was the reply. "Who makes the laws?" was next asked. "Democrats," was the answer. "Who is the congressman from this district?" asked the judge of a swarthy Hun.

"Mr. Moir," said he. WANT THEIR MONEY Election Con test Witnesses Complain of tbe Long Delay. "That's the thirteenth today," said Clerk Fred Kirchoff of the county commissioners' office, pointing to a man who slammed the door as if not In the most joyous mood. "It's that election contest," resumed Kirchoff, "and it causes endless bother to the office.

About twenty people a day call here and want their costs. We explain that the contest is not disposed of and that it may be some months before It will be known whether the county must pay or not. One man was quite abusive yesterday. He said. 'De udder buck told be dat he got his money, see? Dat buck's got a pull, I "It is useless to argue with them, concluded Kirchoff.

"They have made up their mind that we are swindling them out of the money and can't disabuse them of the idea. So we let it tro and let them enjoy themselves nhnslntr everybody, and the county commissioners' clerks in particular. Y. W. C.A.

The American billboards and scenery advertisements have long been an offense to our esthetes and a scoff from the foreigner. Yet it happens to be the fact that Europe suffers from the same Infliction perpetrated by the enterprising old world vendor, espe cially in Switzerland. The London Spectator complains that the St. Goth ard Pass Is defaced by chocolate advertisements, while the Teuelsrucke between Andermott and Goeschenan has a collection of the displays by which the mercantile spirit impresses its inducements on the tourists. When the mountains of Switzerland are not even a refuge against the landscape advertisements there does not seem to be much hope for the public to escape the nuisance.

The advertisement that is stuck on rocks or erected on billboards which mar a view is an Irritating infliction. But in times when the spirit of gain Is deemed sufficient reason for overthrowing the rules of honesty and he principles of popular government it is necessary to recognize that if com mercialism disfigured nothing except the scenery the world would be better off than it is.

WANTED TIME TO ANSWER A Further Hearing In tbe Case Aeainst Carl W. McKlnney Second Ward Councilman Asked Some Direct Questions Given Until Friday Afternoon to Consult his Attorney and to Decide RearardlnK Answer.

Select Councilman Wade M. Finn last night declined to answer questions in connection with the bribery questions until he had an opportunity to consult his attorney. This vas granted and adjournment made until Friday at 4:30 p. m. The question insinuated that Mr.

Finn had secured $1000 from Mr. Carl AV. McKinney which he was to deliver to ex Mayor Bailey when the latter signed the ten year contract between the city and the Barber Asphalt company. Alderman Fuller's office was crowded at 7:30 o'clock, the time announced for the hearing, a number of councilmen being present. Mr.

Finn, after being sworn, was asked by Mr. Torrey if he recollected the signing of the contract between the city and the Barber Asphalt company for the repair of the asphalt streets for a period of ten years. Mr. Finn replied that he did but could not fix the exact date. "Are you acquainted with Carl W.

McKinney, who represents the Asphalt Company?" next asked Mr. Torrey. Mr. Finn replied that he was. A SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.

The interest displayed by the crowded audience at this point was Intense and the next question was awaited with breathless curiosity. "About the time the contract was signed did Mr. McKinney place money in your hand to deliver to any one?" asked Mr. Torrey. Councilmen who were present rose up in their seats and craned their necks to look at the witness.

Then followed prefect silence, all awaiting the answer. Mr. Finn was pondering over the matter and in about twenty seconds said: "I refuse to answer." "On what grounds?" asked Mr. Torrey. "On constitutional grounds." an swered Mr.

Finn. "I want a chance to see my attorney." "Do you positively and peremptorily refuse to answer?" asked Mr. Torrey. "No sir," replied Mr. Finn.

"I want a chance to see my attorney." "Who is your attorney?" asked Mr. Torrey. "I have no one in particular." renlied witness, "i might consult vou or Mr. O'Brien." "Well, we will proceed to ask some further questions," continued Mr. Tor rey.

ill you tell us whether imme diately after the money was deposited you paid it to any city official?" 1 refuse to answer on the same grounds," replied Mr. Finn. Did you handle any money tensrered you by the Asphalt company in connection with the contract?" inquired Mr. Torrey. "I refuse to answer on the same grounds," answered Mr.

Finn. Mr. Torrey's final question was: Did Mr. McKinney, as representing the Asphalt company, place $1000 In your hands with directions to give it to Mayor Bailey when he told you to do so? And did he tell you to give it to Mayor Bailey and did you give him the money immediately after the con tract was signed?" "It's the same question," said Mr. Finn, "and I want to see my attorney." The examination then ended, Mr.

Torrey intimating, that number of witnesses had been subpoenaed to give evidence on the same lines but that it would be useless to proceed under the circumstances. Mr. Newcomb, who was associated with Mr. Torrey, pointed out that there were two things which would have to be done; to proceed against the witness upon an indictment for refusing 'to answer the questions or to grant him time to see counsel. Some difficulty was experienced in arranging a time for a further hearing, Mr.

Newcomb suggesting Thursday night which Mr. Finn objected to on the ground that select council met on that night. 'There's nothing in it now, Mr. Finn," Jocularly remarked Mr. Newcomb.

Eventually it was decided to postpone the hearing until Friday at 4:30 p. m. It will be recollected that at. a previous hearing ex Mayor Bailey denied that he had ever received any money from the Barber Asphalt company or A BROAD price $2.50 price $3.00 price $3.75 from Mr. McKinney.

or from any person who had received money from them to deliver to him. DIRECTORS HELD MEETING Xe Mexican Rail way Co. Transacted Buslnefis Here Yesterday.
