Conry, Esq., who is at present a mcinbor of the Lackawanna county bar: '"Attorney Conry was one of tho happiest lawyers In court this week. Mr. Conry had a client named Flynn, who was charged with breaklug tho nose of another man. Tho other man was in court and brought his broken nose with him as prima facio ovidence. Conry's client had scarcely a defense, hut Coury is an orator, and instead of evidence ho gavp the Jury oratory and oratory of a k'nd not frequently heard in oonrt. Tho brilliant young roan with tho Bllvor tongue and golden mouth caught the jury. Ho charmed them and fascinated them. A more delighted jury never left tho box for tho jury room. Whon they returned to court, it was with a verdict of acquittal for Mr. Conry's client, and half the costs on the man with tbo broken noso. No wonder young Conry rejoiced."

House In tlm (Inp Itnw Aro Ilelug 1)U- turliml, For several weeks tnut somer of the com pany houses on the northern side of Line street have given Indications of disturbance by tho workings of the Kehlty linn colliery and the effect hat become so much more pronounced during the past lew days that tbo officials of the colliery have deemed It ad visable to notify the occupants of the houses that It will be safer for them to vacate. This precaution has not been taken through any fear that the houses will be carried down from the surface, but to avoid danger from fire. The disturbances are caused by an abandoned gangway of the colliery and the subsidence cannot become very oxtenstve, still the houses may le suf ficiently disturbed to displace stovepipes in the houses. Should this occur fire may re sult, and thore would also bo driger of snffo oations by coal gas should the effect take place at night. None of tho families have moved yet. The houses affected extended from WMtc street to Bowers street and embrace six double block8'oocupied by twelve families. As vacant houses are very ma roe in the town It can readily be seen that tho condition of affairs is a severe blow to the occupants.

All the Inhabitants of Canton 'ABsemftled to do Hsoor to the Dead, and While the Funeral Services Were In Pro gress Thieves Were Busy. Canton, O., Dec. IB. Although It rained almost Incessantly all day, the crowd attending; the funeral of Mrs. Nancy Allison McKlnley was numbered by thousands. The First Methodist Episcopal church, doubled in capacity by throwing open the Sunday school rooms aud gallery, was filled to over flowing Ions; before the services began. The rostrum of the church was a bank ol flowers. After the simple oeremony thousands after thousands passed through the church, each stopping an Instant at the altar to take a last look at the remains. This procession was composed of 3,000 people, who had gained admission to the church, and thousands of others who stood outside in the rain waiting the time when they oould cet In one side door, pass the altar and co out at the other side. When this had continued an hour It was found necessary to close the side doors and remove the casket to the funeral car, iib It was feared that the Interment would be delayed until after darlc During the services nnd until after the remains had been viewed the fam ily and close friends occupied the front pews of the central section of the church. With the president, In the first pew, was his Bister, Miss Helen, and his brother, Abner, with their sister, Mrs. Duncan, of Cleveland. Immediate ly back of them was the aged sister of the departed, Mrs. Osborne, of Youngs town, surrounded by grandchildren and other relatives. Back of these were members of the cabinet and the Wash ington visitors, Congressman Taylor, representing this district; Hon. White law Held of New York, H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago and many other very in timate friends of the family from va rious points. When the cortege reached the ceme tery the burial ground of the McKlnley family was surrounded by an Immense crowd, who Beemed to give no heed to the Inclement weather. A canvas can opy had been erected near the open grave for the shelter of the family and those assisting in the last rites. Here the beautiful wreath of flowers which the president and Mrs. McKlnley had placed upon the graves of the children they lost long ago and of the president's father, brother and sister were literally covered with the numarous floral of ferings sent by sympathizing friends from all over the country. The hun dreds of floral offerings Included, be sides tho beautiful pieces sent by the cabinet and the Washington friends,- a large emblem of the G. A. R., In which the flag was worked out In red and white carnations, Bent by Canton post, of which the president Is a member. The exercises at the grave were very short and simple. The casket was lowered Into the grave by the pall bearers and the simple service of the Methodist Episcopal church was read responaively by Presiding Elder E. D. Holtz, of this district, and ltev. E. C. Manchester, Rev. MacAfee, of Colum bus, pronouncing a benediction. In the evening the cabinet officers and other distinguished visitors except the McKlnley family took dinner at the home of Mrs.. George D. llarter. The president and the Immediate family remained at the old homestead until train time. The special train for Washington left at 8:30 o'clock last evening, the president's oar, "New port," being attached. During the hours of the funeral busi ness was suspended throughout" the city. Business places and offices were closed, factories and shops shut down and all work suspended In the courts nnd county and city buildings.
