SQUIRE THOMAS COURT.
A l.lst of the Petty Cases Heard by the
Magistrate.
'Squire Thomas had a number of
cases of more or les. Importance before
him yesterday anJ settled them all
with neatness end dispatch. The tlrst
was that of Jacob Myers, a resident
of Whiskey Hill, who was arrested on
complaint or Julia Multskl. who
rhargvJ him with osajult and battery.
Most of the witnesses spoke nothing
biH Polish, and Interpreters w ere used,
it was soon ascertained that tho Inter
preters were not interpreting correctly,
the testimony of oach side translating
thP testlmi ny to suit his side of the
cits?. Tho- court room was a scene of
will disorder whenever a Fentence was
translated wrongly, and 'Squire Thom
us h.-ld My.:s for a further hearing
today, the defendant iTlvlns S0O ball
to appear.
John Halishol;. a Mill Ciwk saloon
U.vper, was charged with hiding- his
property to defraud his creditors, Ig.
Freeman and S. Stegmnler & Son. of
this city. He was held in !00 ball to
a;!- tr again before the 'squire on Sat
urday, as th. witnesses for the prose
cution could not come yesterday.
Tho proprietor of the Hon Ton millin
ery store was arrested by two of his
bailing trimmers whnm lie had brought
her? from New York to work 'the sot
son. The girls were told to go last
wek. but decided to hold the Hon Ton
m;n to his contraot to kt n them until
the Feoon ended, which they claimed
was July 4, nnd then fore on? claimed

otherwise, and entered a judgment for
the girls In the above amounts.
.MRS. F.MRKT'S CASE.
Tho Woman Becomes Mixed When
Attempting to Identify Her Man.
It will be remembered that some
davs ag a mac. named Zelgler was
charged by Mrs. Charles F.hret, of New
town, with an attempt at criminal as
sault.
Yesterday morning James McCaffrey
and John Lyden were given a hearing
before the mayor on the same charge.
It seems that Mrs. Ehret has changed
her mind as to the Identity of the man.
and now accused McCaffrey In place of
Zelgler. McCaffrey employed John Mc-
Gahren, esq., to defend him. In her
testimony this morning lira. Ehret was
considerably mixed, and whenever she
discovered that her statements conflict
ed with some previous assertion she In
variably attempted to correct herself
by 'laying "he's the man, all right," yet
it ws evident he could give no reason
for believing so. Her husband, Charles
Ehret, had been locked out and swore
that when the entry was made he was
sitting under the porch, and acknowl
edged that he was pretty full. McCaf
frey is badly crippled with rheumatism
and he does not look like a main who
could climb twelve feet and enter a
house through a window. Lyden was
discharged and McCaffrey held for
court
Railroad Station Robbed.
Some time Monday nl?ht burglars

mediately notified their chief of detec
tives on from Easton to take the case.

THE DIVISIBILITY OF TIME.
Calculations That Are Entirety Beyond
Onr Faintest Conception.
Napoleon, who knew the value of time,
remarked that It was the quarter hours
that won battles, says Good Words. Tho
value of minutes has often been recog
nized and anyone Watching a railway clerk
handing out tickets and change during tho
last few minutes available must have
teen struck with how much could be done
In those short portions of time.
At the appointed hour the train starts
and by and by is carrying passengers at
the rate of sixty miles an hour. In a sec
ond you are carried twenty-nine yards.
In one-twenty-ninth of a second you pass
over one yard. Now, one yard Is quite an
appreciable distance, but one-twenty-ninth
of a second Is a period which cannot be
appreciated.
Yet It is when we come to planetary and
stellar motions that the notion of the In
finite divisibility of time dawns upon us in
a new light. It would seem that no por
tion of time, however microscopic. Is tin-
avoiiawe. Mature can perform prodigies,
not certainly In less than no time, but In
portions of Jt so minute as to be alto
gether Inconceivable,
The earth revolves on her axis In twen
ty-four hours. At the equator her cir
cumference Is 25,000 miles. Hence, in that
part or the earth a person Is being carried
eastward at the rate of GOt yards per sec
ond. That Is, he is moving over a yard
whose length is conceivable In the period
of one-flve-hundredth-and-nlnth part of a
second, or wnicn we can have no concep
tlon at all.
But, more, the orbital motion of the
earth around the sun causes the former
to perform a revolution of nearly (00,000,000
miles In a year, or somewhat less than
70,000 miles an hour, which Is more than
1,000 miles a minute. Here, then, our sec
ond carries as the long distance of about
nineteen miles. The mighty tall thus flies
about a mile in the nineteenth part of a
CO". , . . ',

PLYMOUTH.
Twelve years ago this morning the
steamer Susquehanna blew up near the
landing at Wllkes-Barre and several
people sustained serious injuries. Max
Reese, our popular youn-g shoe mer
chant, relates a story In connection
with the affair which goes to prove one
of the hairbreadth escapes In which he
has so narrowly escaped a flight Into
the heavenly sphere. On Monday,
twelve years ago, "trade dollars" were
put down to a value of 86 cents, und on
the succeeding day the Wyoming Na
tlonal 'bank, of Wllkes-Barre, decided
to take all 'their depositors possessed at
par value, and A. Reese, who then con
ducted the store, dispatched Max with
a bag containing 165 trade dollars In or
der that no Ions would be sustained by
the Arm. The rush at the bank was so
great that the younger Reese could not
catch the last boat end consequently
he telephoned his brother that It would
be impossible to return that night. On
the morning of July S he arose
later than he expected and reached tihe
bank Just In time to see the boat pull
out from the wharf. Before the steam'
er had completely made the turn below
the bridge the boiler exploded with a
terrlflo noise, and men, wood and pieces
of Iron were blown a distance of sev
eral feet Into the air. Max, when tell
Ing the story, even to this day, becomes
a little nervous and ends up by saying,
"tihat is one of the many close calls that
I have met with since my advent Into
this world."
In Mi Is borough there Is an sccentrlo
individual of Welsh extraction, and If
appearances are not deceptive, at times
he suffers with rather severe attack of
mental aberration. When under the
Influence of these spells he Is by no
means harmless, and the cane which
he carries In order to support hlmv as
he can only boost of one good leg the
other Is wooden-nfllots injuries of a
more or less serious nature on those
with whom he come In contact On
Monday evenkrg, while In the grip of
one of these spells, tat attacked a young
boy on Main street and gave him a se
vere beating about the head, rendering
him unconscious for a considerable
length of time. The attention of the
police has heretofore beeo called to this
dangerous nuisance, and several times
during a week he creates a disturbance
en the main thoroughfare, and yet the
police calmly sit In the vicinity of the
burgess' office and allows a well-nigh
crsxy man to run amuck.
The Welsh Congregational church, on
Gaylord avenue, will hold their annual

moat ardent workers In the Fat Men's
club, Is still reducing his weight, and
within the coming week expects to
reach the 1S5 pound mark. He has
taken to punching the bag and has be
come quite an expert, so much so that
he gives dally exhibitions to friends
who call to see him or his merchan
dise. A regular monthly meeting of the
town council was held on Monday
night, something unusual, all members
were present. After two and one-half
hours of nonsensical talk, and uncalled
for heated discussions, the noble body
of borough representatives moved to
adjourn for one week. Our town fathers
are being constantly crltlzed for their
unmanly actions. Some of the papers
have devoted a column of their val
uable sheets to show the public the
men whom they have elected to work
for the Interest of the citizens and bor
ough. Again the representative of this
paper does not go to these meetings to
hear the personal grievances of differ
ent members, but he does go to pub
lish an exact account of the working of
this body for the interest of it's scribers.
Gentlemen get down to work and stop
this wrangling nnd you will receive the
heart felt thanks of those who watch
every move and action of your council
ELBOW ROOM IN GREAT CITIES
New York Hsu 1 8 Residents in a House,
London 7, Paris 23 and Toklo Only 5.
In all the countries of Europe, In the
United States and In tho Dominion cf
Canada there ore, so far as recent and
authentic figures show, 70,000,000 houses.
There are 3I2.0IW houses, some of Hum
unsubstantial uffalrs, in the city of Toklo,
Japan, one for every five people, so that
the Japanese metropolis does not suffer
from overcrowding.
New York has 115,000 houses, averaging
18 residents to each. London, the grca-ictt
acumulatlon of Inhabitants In the world,
has 000,000 houses, or seven rul lcnts in
each on tho average. London has 'n
creased In this respect very' rnpldly, for nt
the beginning of tho present cinliirv the
number of houses was only 130..W, a little
more than New York has at present. The
population of London at that time. ;18UU)
was 900,000. It Is now 4.200,000. So It hns ,n
creased nearly fivefold, but tho number
of houses has not Increased In as large a
ratio. Paris has 90,000 houses. At the
close of tho Franco-Prussian wnr It had
70.000. At the close of the Napoleonic wars
It had 28,000. The area of the city hus been
extended meanwhile. The nverago ruin
ber of residents In a house In Paris Is in,
which Is about B0 per cent, greater tha l In
New York. The majority of public buli.l
Ings In Paris are utilised for purposes of
residence, espoclnlly upon the top floors.
whereas In New York scores of the build
ings In every street down town are given
over exclusively to business purposes. In
tho square mile or more of the territory
between Wall and Spruce streets end be
tween Broadway and the East river thero
were at tho recent election only 30 voters,
representing a total population of l,7o0.
In all computations of city population
by houses Philadelphia ranks as a shining
example of a big town which has plenty
or elbow room to expand In. Philadelphia,
with a population In excess of 1,000,000,
has 187,000 houses, It la loss densely popu
lated than London, but not much leas so.
A Natural Curiosity.
"Charley, dear," said Mrs. Hunnlmune,
"I don't think I take enough Interest In
things that men care for. Won't you toll
me something about baseball?"
"Of course. Anything that I can."
"I've noticed that sometimes when a club
gets beat it's because the umpire doesn't
do right."
"Yes." ,
"And sometimes because the weather
Isn't right." . .
"Yes." .
"And sometimes because the audience
doesn't do right"
"Yes."
"Well, Charley, dear. What I want to
know Is what the players have to do with
the game ?" Washington Star.
