The civil courts of Lackawanna coun ty have been somewhat handicapped during the last six mouths on account of the lack of proper accommodations, yet the amount of business transacted luring the last twelve months is very large. During the year now fast draw ing to a close live terms of common pleas court were held und 625 cases were set down for triul. on this number 123 actually got be fore Juries for consideration. In seventy-one cases verdicts were rendered for plaint ifl's and defendants were award ed verdicts In thirty-eight instances. There were live compulsory and one voluntary non-suits, one cuse was set tled after going to trial, six were con tinued after Juries were sworn to "well and truly" pass upon their merits and in one instance the case was withdrawn after the trial hud begun. A large number of cases were settled or other were disposed of w ithout going before a Jury. For several years the court has been cutting down the number of cases awaiting attention and while three years ngo the business of the court was about three years behind time It is now less than a year and a half. A large number of the cases set down for trial at the approaching term of com mon pleas court were begun at the September term, 1VJ5. When the repairs on the court house nre completed and the regular routine of vork can again be observed there will be a still further paring down of the number of cases waiting ti be heard until the list is brought within six months of (lute. It is not consid ered advisable by the majority of Jur ists to have civil cases tried Immedi ately after they are instituted nor Is It ulways possible to do so. The Interven tion of a few" months between the lllinR ot the papers in the case nnd the trial usually brings more substantial Justice to all concerned than a speedier trial would. Must Be Mold.

H may be a coincidence that the day after the chicken coop of Jacob Jur kovity of 41S South Washington ave lie, was rallied, Patrick Hoar, nn E ru nlet t street saloonkeeper, had poultry to rallle. Tin- more Jurkovity thought It over the more convinced he became thut there was something more in it than a coincidence, and he caused a seun-h warrant to be Issued. Otllcur Steve Dyer searched Hoar's premises and found three ducks and some chickens. Jurkovity said they were his when he saw them, and he swore out a warrant before Alderman Fuller charging Hoar with larceny.

HE HAS MADE A RADICAL CHANGE It lias Bern the Custom in the Vat for the Mayor to Send in His Au aunl Message at tho Beginning of the Fiscal Year in ApriU-ltcport of the Kinsley Investigation Commis sion. Mayor James G. ISniloy has asked the heads of the various departments of the city government to furnish him with statements concerning the work and needs of their departments. He is preparing a message for the councils which will be lead on Jan. 7. the date of the first stated meeting of the select council for the jear 1M7. It has been the custom In the pftst for the mayor to submit his annual message to councils In April, the begin ning of the city's fiscal year. Mayor Bailey believes that January is the proper time to make his rt commenda tions and suggestions to councils and will Ignore the precedents of his pre decessors with regard to annual mes sages. The message will be quite an exhaus tive document, in which the present condition of the city will lie dwelt upon and the necessity of wise public Im provements along lines essential to the development of the city strenuously urged. Thtre is a proballlty that tlv mayei may suggest the advisability of making some improvements on the in terior of the city hall which Is begin ning to assume u rather dingy appear ance. It Is probable thatVelect council on the nlyht the mayor's message Is read will also hear the findings of the Kins ley investigation commission read. CouncUmun Sanderson was ubsent from the city for some time after the close of the investigation und a meeting' of the commission to prepare its report could not be held.
