Painting While Being Sentenced.

When Oscar Adelstein, u white. haired
old man, who was convicted in the United
States district court Of having embezzled
q letter containing check for 500, was
called up before Judge Butler in Philadel
phia yesterday for sentence, he approach
ed the bar with faltering steps. He said
that he had never been in ! court room
before except as spectator. The judge
began to make some remarks before
imposing sentence. Before he had
finished, the prisoner, who had been
trembling violently, fell in swoon. A
half suppressed cry arose from tho crowd
in tho room. Two officers carried the old
man out into the freer air OF tho hallway,
and when he revived he was told that the
judge had decided to defer tho sentence
until another day. The old man, however,
with tears in his eyes. begged to have the
matter over at once he said that he was
quite strong again, and would try to bear
up. The court decided to crafty him,
and he was brought to the bar second
time. He trembled, however, in spite of
himself, and as tie court imposed upon
him 4 sentence of nine months imprison.
ment and fine of 500, he fell again into
the waiting arms of q tipstaff. He was
not unconscious, but SO affected that he
could not stand, and when, after little
time, he was led to the rear of the court.
ronm, the tears were rolling in big drops
down his cheeks.

Regions

The Bloody End of Il Cock flight In the Coal
Regions
Centralia and the adjoining towns are
excited over L desperate affray. Two
chicken ianciers, named Mike Cleary and
Edward Dillon, had arranged for Il cock
ing main, to Ee fought st nine o'clock.
A large crowd had gathered AZ half
past nine they opened tho main. By this
time the crowd had grown noisy and turb-
ulent. AS soon as Cleary's bird was put
into the pit Dillon's bird struck it . ter
rifle blow, killing it instantly. Enragcd,
Cleary sprang out and said he could whip
any man in tho house. No ono answered
him, he sprang towards Dillon and struck
him terrific blow liz the faco. This was
tho signal for Il row, aud some one in the
crowd extinguished the lights. In the
fight that followed knives and pistols
were freely used. At last the saloon
keeper aud g number OF friends got the
scutfling crOwcd out. Cleary went to his
home and was followed by Dillon, who
asked him why he struck him. Cleary
made no answer bns struck him again.
Both men then grappied and were stugsl-
ing in each others embrace when Cleary's
wife and two men entered and went to his
assistance. The fOur then beat Dillon
numerically and would probably have
killed him but for the opportune arrival
of two OF his friends, who after Il desper
ate struggle succeeded in saving him.
While carryin. him home Cieary's wife
crept up behind them and struck the i'll
sensible man 4 terrible blow on the back
of the head with largo stone, weighing
about twelve pounds. Tho back of his
head was split open aud there is very
little hopo of his recovery. No effort has
yet been made to arrest tho assailants.
All the men arc miners, living at Centralia
and have heretofore boine good repnta-
tiOns.

Polish Jake's Remarkable estate"
Two months ago Pole, named Jacob
Meriwisky, went to Centralia and opened
a saloon. He was patronized by his
countrymen and the roughest of the other
nationalities. Being unable to read or
write English he requested tho English
speaking habitues to charge themselves
with the amounts they indepted. They
did so and yesterday all the prominent
business men were startled by the pre-
sentatiOn of bills for liquor at Polish
.Jake's. They Indignantly refused to pay,
saying they had never entered the saloon
and other parties had used their names.
An investigation of Polish ,Jake's books
showed this to be true. Henry Ward

THERE will be no reasonable com
plaint against the propriety Of Governor
Pattison's veto of the bill to pension
Mexican soldiers and their widows by
the state. There has been a persistent
effort to have this proposition enacted
into law, and twice before it passed
the Legislature only to be vetoed by
Governor Hoyt, for such incontroverti'
ble reasons that its authors might have
reasonably supposed would occur to any
other intelligent executive. At most, 1t
is hard to see why those who served IN
the Mexican war, without receiving in
jury should expect any special compensa
ton for it now. Any who were wound
ed or had their health impaired can get
a pension or have already secured it
under the existing easy regulations of
the pension business. But the others
have no special claim, not even on the
general government. Much less is the
state, as such, under any special obliga"
tions to them, as they did not 60 forth
at its call nor in its service. Besides
these general and conclusive objections
to the bill, the governor found matters
of detail in its construction the mer
statement of which was Sc cOgent an ar
gument against it that the House readl-
ly acquiesced in his disposition of it.
For instance, the governor in his veto
message says:
1t is not founded upon considerations
of charity, for the opulent as we'll as the
needy, are made the recipients Of its
bounty. 1t is not intended to compensate
for suffering or injury caused by military
service, for the healthful and vigorous as
we'll as the wounded and disabled share in
it's benevolence. The widow of soldier,
even though she married aim after the
military service was rendered, is entitled
to pension as we'll as widow whose
husband rendered the service, or was in.
jured and disabled, while she was his wife
Though she suffered nothing in her estate,
comfort or happiness by reason of hel
deceased husbands connection with the
| war, nay, even though she may now be IL
opulent circumstances, and the wife OF
another, she is, by this bill, penioned by
the state. Neither old age. want, disease,
disability, wounds nor distress OF any
kind arc made conditions upon which the
bcncticiaries of this extraordinary act arr
admitted to its bounty. So limitlcss in
discriminate pension bill was never be
fore received or passed by any state or by
the United States. Its moving cause
though patriotic and commendable enougl
as mere matter of sentiment, is not suffi
cient upon which to found SO large draf
upon the public treasury.

A VICTORY OVER nIAHONE.
Tho Democrats Succeed In Making Claims
tho SenatOr'E STRONGEST District.

Tho Democrats Succeed In Making Gains in
the SenatOr's Strongest District.
Richmond Dispatch to the Press.
Returns from the local elections in this
state are coming in slowly, and up to mid
night complete advices had boon received
from less than ono third of them. These
indicate that the Democrats have carried
those sections OF the state which have
given Malone his largest majorities in
years past, and were. relied on to do so
again this year. Tho county of South
ampton. the birthplace and, for gears, the
home Of Malone, elected the whole Demo
cratic ticket.
While the Coalition majority in Rrock-
ingham, the home of Congressman John
Paul, has been considerably reduced, many
of the strongest Coalition counties in the
southwest are yet to be heard from. 1t is
impossible, with the meagre returns
received up to this time, to predict an
estimate of the result of yesterdays elec
ton, in SO far as the whole state is con-
cerned.
The losses sustained by Malone in those
heard from, though, will be hard to over
come. In most OF the sections of the state
the Democrats made no organized effort
to carry these local elections, and the
SIsIo COIAlulttoo oi IudI party ulSCOuutCu-
anced such 4 course. Tho Democratic
leaders here are greatly encouraged at the
result SO far as indicated by the returns
received, while the prominent men in tho
Coalition party are colrespOndingly de
spondent.
One of the most significant features are
the immense Democratic gains in sections
of the state where tho negroes are largely
in tho majority. The defeat of Mahone's s
tickets in Norfolk county, the home of ex.
Representative Dezendorf, causes the
senator moro chagrin than all of the other
losses he has sustained. The Democrats
and other anti Malone clements in that
county had to contend against all Of the
government patronage ut the navy yard
and the tacit assistance rendered Malone
by the administration. Although Dezen-
dorf succeeded in getting all tho other
candidates Oh his ticket in his county
elected he himself was defeated by a
majority of over 200 The effect of the
election will be to encourage Democrats in
their struggle this fall for members of the
Legislature. 1t will also in a measure
tend to weaken the Malone organization
in sections where his dofca. was most sig
niiicant.
