None Died Last Winter, Because of Good Cnre. Superintendent Phillips, of the bureau of parks, has bad 11 great deal of trouble during the past winter in keeping .the animals at Nay Aug park nllvp and healthy, but he has done his work well and the spring season Is now coming on, with no deaths repoited. Tills is a splendid record, when it is remembered that the animals in the park are housed in what are little better than sheds. He has fed them well during the cold months, and to this fact may be at tributed their general good health. Milk and bread has been fed to the monkeys, coons, bears and deer, while meat, in homeopathic doses, has also been doled out to them. The squirrels and some of the other smaller animals have been given a regular diet of mixed nuts. !.

VERDICT IN THE THORNTON CASE PLAINTIFF IS AWARDED THE SUM OF 94,028.37. Jury Dismisses the Theory of Incen dlftiism, and After Nine Hours of Figuring Fixes Upon the Actual Damage Caused the Plaintiff's Goods by the File Caroful and Exhaustive Charge by Judge Arch bald Eleven Days Covered by the Trial. A verdict for the plulntlff In the sum ot $-t,U.!S.:i: wits returned, last night. In the eases of Attorney 1'. M. Thornton, of Wllkes-Harre, ugnlimt .the .Security Insurance company of New Haven, and the National Assurance company of Ireland, which have been 011 trial Joint ly before Judge Aichbald hi the L'nlted States circuit court for the past eleven days. The Jury was out nearly nine hours. All the evidence was In and the closing address concluded when court ad journed Monday. Juior Lawrence, of Dushore, who failed to get linen .Mon day on account of a ralhoad delay, was permitted to resume his place In the box, by agreement of counsel, and the full Jury was present yesterday morn ing when Judge Arohbald began his charge. In a two hours' review of the faets and exposition of the law, the judge covered every feature of the case In 11 most tboiough, clear and Impartial manner. The most Important of the law points lie was cnlled upon to discuss was that beating on the clause of the policies covering loss by theft. The defense contended that as the policies set forth that the companies was not liable for goods lost by theft, the jury should be Instructed that If It believed that any of the Thornton goods not accounted for had been stolen the company should not be held liable for them. Jl'DGH WILT.ARD'S ABGl'MENT. Ex-Judge Wlllard, In his closing ar gument for the plaintiff, made the con tention that If the Jury found that any goods were stolen, and believed from the circumstances ot the fire that they were damaged by lire before being stolen, the plaintiff should be allowed for these goods, as much as the jury believed they had been damaged. The defendant's contention, which was un challenged by the plaintiff, was af firmed unconditionally. The plaintiffs contention was affirmed as an abstract principle of law, but declared to be impracticable of application, there be ing no way of telling with any degree of accuracy how much damage was done the stolen articles. The jury went out at U o'clock and was closeted until nearly 8 o'clock p. m. H is understood the jury unani mously dismissed the Incendiary the ory at the very outset of the ease and spent all of the time It was out figur ing on what damage the plaintiff had actually sustained. The plaintiff el.ilmed he bad about $7,000 worth of property In the house that was burned. -His Insurance was Jfi.000, and he claimed that his loss ex reeded that amount. The defense put forward testimony to show that of the library of 1.200 volumes valued at $2,.'0O, which the plaintiff claimed was In the fire, only .".IS volumes were found by the appraisers, and not one ot these j., (J-j t-f.

As against the plaintiff's claim for J4.000 for totally destroyed household goods, the defense contended that the figures given In the proof of loss were the purchase pi Ices and theiefbrc not the actual cash value, and that no trace or various comparatively Inde structible articles, such as a bundled or so pieces of silver dining room ef fects, had boon discovered after the lire, Indicating that they had not had any existence, at least In the but tied house, or else were spirited away by the crowd after the lire. Deterioration by use and salvage were nlso put for ward as set offs to the claim on house hold goods. SPECIFIED THE I.OSSE.H. The Jury, under Instructions from the court, Hpeellled the amount of loss It round cm library and household goods separately. The loss on library was fixed at ft. 200 and that on household goods at $-i)iO. These two Items with Interest at C per cent, for nine months made up the verdict of $4,028.37. The verdict was apportioned equally be tween the companies, eneh liming- car ried oue-liiilf the $8,000. There was $2,r.00 Insurance on the library, and $:1,500 on the household goods. The cae establishes a record In the middle district In the matter of time occupied In Its trial. The trial began Thursday, Match 0, and was on con tinuously since. The plalntirf was rep resented by John McGahren, of Wllkes llarie, with ex-Judge E. N. Wlllard, of Wlllard, Wan en & Knapp ns asso ciate counsel. The defendant's senior counsel was John T. Lennhau, of Wllke.s-ll.irre. Associated with him was M. J. Martin, ot O'Brien & Mar tin. A number of the jurors were busi ness and professional men from vari ous parts of the district to whom the juror's fee was hardly full compensa tion for being away from their busi ness, but they seemingly accepted the duty cheerfully. Judge Archbald, In discharging- them, expressed his appre ciation of their services and the pa tient manner in which they performed their task. CHRIST'S SECOND COMING. Scriptural Arguments to Prove It Offered by Rev. Dr. Haynes. ltev. Dr. U M. S. Haynes, of Blng humlon, delivered a sermon on "The Second Coming of Christ" last night, before n large congregation In the Penn Avenue Baptist church. It was the third of a series of evangelistic sermons which the doctor Is delivering In this church and was largely a presenta tion of Scriptural arguments to prove that Christ will really come back to earth a second time. He pointed out that there aie three great lundnmentul or basic facts upon which the Ch1i.Ula.11 faith Is founded. The first of these, he said, is that there was such a person as Jesus Christ born into the world. Botli sacred and pro fane history are agieed on this point, he said. The second great fact, he declared to bo that on the atonement of Jesus Chi 1st depends man's personal salva tion. Equally as important as these, he said, is the great fact of the second coming of the Saviour. He first came as a lowly child, the doctor said, but when He comes again, He will come In His imperial power and sitting upon the throne of His kingdom will reign supremo In the hearts of men. The necessity of preparing for this second coming of the Lord was dwelt upon. Dr. Haynes will deliver a sermon tonight on "The Hesurrectlon," and will give a Bible talk this afternoon on "The Seven Tall Palms In the Forest of Psalms." As will be been by glancing at an other part of The Tribune this morn ing. Dr. Pierce has decided to Introduce business methods into his church work, and Is advertising the evangelistic nirciiiifis by means of a big display nd. "It's a little bit revolutionary," said he hist night, "but r think It perfectly lit and proper. The theaters adver tise extensively and so do the mer chants who want to sell goods. Why shouldn't the churches advertise as well'.' Haven't they got something to offer Infinitely more precious than the theaters or the merchants?'' AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS. Splendid Concert Given in Guernsey Hall Last Night. The concert given in Guernsey hall last night for the benefit of the new Madison avenue temple was both an artistic and a financial success. The hall was crowded to tho doors and a most excellent programme was ren dered by several of Scranton's most talented musical artists. The profjrauune was largely a oral and enlisted the services of the Misses Bufun Black nnd Llcl.t Gurugun, of the Second Piesbyterlan church choir. Miss Black's clear soprano voice, rec ognized as one of the finest In this pan of the slate, was heard In Dessauer's familiar "In Sevllla." while Miss Gura ituii fang Allison's "Song of Thanks Hiving" In hep usual capable niuniler. .Mlt-s Itose Dorothy Gulleu sang a Gorman song sweetly unil lltvlph Wil liams, who was In hplendld voice, sang tin eo solos, Including Schuwan's spir ited rung, "Tlie Two Grenadiers." Tho Misses Black and Clarngau and Mr. Williams were also heaul In a trio, Harvey J. Blackwood, who Is u thor ough musician, nnd who playa the Velio with a niro touch, rendered a delightful selection by Gabriel Mane, on that Instrument. Miss Gertrude Moses' piano playing was also well re ceived. The accompanist was Mrs. Genevieve Baker. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Celebrated by the Wells-Fargo Ex piess Company.

Defense in the Ejectment CaBo of 0, H. Williamson Against M. H. Car penter Takes the Position That the Docket of Court Proceedings Is Not a SulMcicnt Record to Offer In Evi denceCase of Norman Leach Against Silas Hartley Is Settled. Orphans' Court Matters. An Interesting ejectment still was put on trial before Judge Kelly In the main court room yesterday. The plain tiff Is (. II. Williamson and the de fendant M. H. Carpenter, and they are contesting for the ownership of a lot of land on Hyde Park avenue, this city. Tlie plaintiff. Is tcprcsented by Attorneys Everett Warren, John F. Scragg and O. H. Woodruff, of this city, and Attorney Itoseuburg, or Philadel phia. The defendant's attorneys are J. M. Walker und Clarence Ualentlne. The plaintiff claims title to the prop erly on Hyde Pail: avenue, which Is worth between $3."00 and $1,000, by rea son of a sale on a mortgage by the Security Life Insurance and Trust company against Henry George Koch, trustee. The trustee's mortgage, un der which the claim to title is made, was based on proceedings conducted under the Price act of ISM. When the plaintiff reached that part of the re cord testimony where ho was entitled to show the proceedings with reference to this mortgage, the continuance docket of the court was offered in evi dence. Objection was made by the attorneys for the defense, who held that the continuance docket was not such a recoul as Is required: that the flies on which the record In the continuance docket Is founded should be offered. Jt then appeared that practically all of the files have disappeared and that it was Impossible to bring them to the attention of the court. After the mat ter had been argued for some time, the court pennltted 11 to go over until today, when further argument will be heard. Judge II. M. Edwards, who was a practitioner at the bar and the attor ney for all the parties concerned at tho time the mortgage was made, was called and testified to the making of the mortgage, but could not remember positively the number of the lot It was against. The case will be resumed this morning. Before Judge McCluie, In No. 3, tho case of John Walsh and others against the city Avas on trial all day. All the evidence of the plaintiff has not yet been heard. Other Cases Disposed Of. After the opening of court yesterday morning the trial of the case of Thomas II. Claik against Charles Stuart, In which a jury wns sworn Monday after noon, was taken up. In 1898 Contrac tor Frank Patience erected a. house on Penn avenue for Stuart and sub-let the plumbing to Clark. While tho work of construction was In progiess Patience gnve Clark an order on Stuart for $73 and Clark went to Stuart to have It endorsed. The endorsement was made by Stuart's daughter and the plaintiff was unable to show that Stuart au thorized his daughter to sign bis name. When the plaintiff lested Attorney J. M. Walker, who appeared for the de fendant, asked Judge Kelly for a non suit on the ground that the ordf.r in question was never endorsed by Stuut t and was not therefore a legal claim against him. The non-suit was grant ed. The case of Norman Leach against Silas Hartley was then taken up. It was a suit to determine the ownership of certain goods levied upon by the sheriff as the property of Fied Gu maor, the son-in-law of Leach. The latter held certain notes against Gu niner and In that way came into the possession of some of the effects of his son-in-law. The latter was also In debted to Hartley, and the latter se cured judgment and had the .sheriff make a levy. Leach secured a sher iff's Interpleader, alleging that the goods levied on at the Instance of Hart ley belonged to him. After the case had been on trial yesterday for seveuil hours tho parties came to an agree ment by which the goods in dispute tiro to be divided In ceitaln propor tions between the plaintiff and defend ant and n verdict was taken In accord ance with the agreement. Yesterday morning a verdict wu. returned in the case of Henry I. Hurst against M. T. Keller, which was on trial Monday afternoon before Judge Kelly. It was In favor of Hurst In the sum of $2S2.;I7, Busy Day in Orphans' Court. In the orphans' court yesteiday. Judge A. A.
