CAAE-qHE DEPENDANT
FOUND GUILTY.

Court re-convened at 3 o'clock Wed.
nesday afternoon, with Chief Justice
IComegys and Associate Judge Houston
Ion the bench, and resumed the trial Of
1.-The bastardy case. After all the evi.
ldence was in, Lilburn Chandler, ESQ.,,
|opened the argument for the pro4ecu-
Ition, and was followed by Messrs.
Emmons and Wh,teley for the defense.
After they had finished AttOrney-Ien
raj Gray closed tn argument for the
prosecution with an earnest appeal for
Ijustice TO the girl, whom he claimed
had been lead astray by the defendant.
His mastery argument was listened
to with the closest attention by the
large audience which filed every part
of the auditorium. Mr.. Gray closed at
5. 10 o'clock, and the jury, after being
charged by Judge Houston, retired at
5. 20 o'clock and returned In ten minutes
with verdict that William F. Springer
was the father of the child. He will
now have to give a bOrd that he will
support it. When the verdict was rem
dered there was evident disposition on
the part of the audience to show their
approval, which was promptly checked
by the Court.
One of the jurymen said that after
they retired it was agreed to take vote
Immediately, before discussing the
matter, and see how they stood. Each
man wrote his verdict on aslip of paper
unseen by the others, and deposited 1t
folded up in hat. When they were
taken out by the foreman the first one
he opened bore the single word
"guilty :" the second one the same, and
so on with the whole twelve.

Labor n Totes.

The river coal miners of the Pittsburg
district met yesterday to determine the
expediency Of asking higher rate for
mining for the spring run. Nearly
every pit on the river was represented.
1t WAS decided, after long debate, not
to demand any advance in wages at
present, but to enforce the district price
at 81 cents in all pits.
The reduction of wages by the
Salmon Falls (New Hampshire) Manu-
featuring Company will be from to 10
per cent. The reduction of the Ports
mouth Manufacturing Company, at
South Berwick, Maine, will also be
from 4 to 10 per cent. No strike is ex-
pected.
One hundred and twenty-five striking
weavers returned to work yesterday at
the old figures in Dexter, Lambert &

Genulne HOOdIuans.

The neighborhood of Twelfth and
Washington streets bears TIE marks Of
means and comfort. Everything about
the locality betokens signs of care and
order, except the children. who are al
lowed to roam, day and night, like so
many savages on the war path, ,glutting
their vengeance.
The scenes that are enacted here
nightly by the boys would not be tole-
rated in the slums of Philadelphia, as
bell-pulls that will not echo the tiend-
ishness Of the manipulators, broken win
dow panes, mutilated signs, etc., abun-
dainty testify.
1t is to be hoped our city fathers, In
year or two, will wake up from their
Rip Van Wrinkle lethargy, and take
cognizance Of the playfulness Of these
household pets. The parents Of these
vicious youngsters could judiciously
employ some Of their leisure moments
in the perusal Of good work on the
rearing and management Of children.
In the meantime the victims will con-
time to pay their taxes for the support
of municipal order, and earnestly pray
for the day of deliverance. A VICTIM.

An Unworthy Servant.
Dm the n. y. World.

From the NJ T. World
We have been favored with the report of
the committee of the Associated Press appoint
ed to investigate the charges of incompetency,
partisanship and Justification made against
the managers in the late political canvass.
According to this report everything seems to
have been conducted in the ablest manner.
So far as the charge of Intentionally classifying
the election returns is concerned, we were
not prepared to believe that it could be sus-
tanned, but that the servants of the Associated
Press have been in many instances bitterly
partisan and that they have displayed their
partisanshp cannot be denied. Their position
demands from them the impartiality of the
Judge upon the bench. Their duty was to col
lect news fairly and honestly and serve it to
the press with scrupulous justice and Impair
TALLY. What would be thought of a judge
who would descend from his woolsack in the
midst of a case, after hearing an important
piece of testimony, and openly congratulate
the plaintiff or bold defendant upon having
won his case? This is precisely what Mr..
French, of the Associated Press, did. AT a
time when the presidential election was more
or less in doubt Mr.. French sent telegram
of congratulaton to Mr.. Blaine and guaran-
teed him the electoral vote of the State of
New York. No whitewashing report can
wipe this out. Mr. French has not apologized
for this impudent assumption, and he should
be forced to resign position which he is GER
tainy untitled by nature to fill.

Six Thousand Majority Wanted.

From the Lapremce Mass Sentinel:
Two days after election, the Blaine man
ayers in New York teIegraphed to Congress
man-elect Walter l.. Sessions, of jamestown,
n. V, as follows:
We want 5000 from Chautauqua. Can you
help us?
Ghautaqua county had reported a plurality
for Blaine of 1918. If that could be altere
to 5000 the managers thought Cleveland, S plu-
rality in the state could be wiped out. But 1t
was too late Sessions returned answer:
Sorry; can't do it. Have been compared.
Just how many more such kilograms were
sent to workers in strong Republican coun-
ties is not known, but this is enough to show
the means by which Blaine and his managers
hoped to steal the electoral vote of New
York

A Cold Nights Parade.

Cleveland and Hendricks and Blaine and
Logan banners were carried in the same pro-
cessiop at Albany, N. Y, on Tuesday night.
The Capital City Club, Republican, to pay an
election wager, escorted the Jacksonians,
Democrats, through the principal streets.
Both organizations turned out strong, uni
formed and with torches. The houses along
the line of march were illuminated and fire
works were sent off The Jacksonians' roos-
ter was out in full feather. The best Of feel
ing prevailed among the members OF the two
political clubs. The Jacksonians appeared
to carry their heads little higher than the
Casital Citys, but the victors did not impose
upon the yanquished by giving cheers for
Cleveland 1t was cold night for parade
and a cold night for the Republicans of Al
bany.

There was perhaps more betting on the
result of the recent Presidential election than
ever before known. In the large cities vast
sums were wagered, some stalking as much as
S75, 900 on the result How much changed
hands-from Democrats to Republicans
there is no way of ascertaining, but several
millions of dollars must have been lost and
won. In addition hats and suits of clothes
were wagered everywhere. Then there were
many bets. the wager being ridiculous per-
Torrance of some kind. Wheelbarrow rides
were numerous, and in every instance the
occasion was made as much Of as possible.
In Boston lady sold peanuts on the Common
for twelve hours, without sitting down or
eating or drinking. She realized S2l5 by the
performance and donated the proceeds to
purchasing supplies for Thanksgiving dinners
for the poor In New y ork city gentleman,
in settlement of wager, paraded through
several of the chief streets grinding hand
organ, followed by a mob of bowling boys
Some agreed to let their hair and whiskers
grow until Blaine was elected, and soon they
will present the appearance of grizzly bears
These are but few of the novel kind, and
hereafter the novel betting will be done by
others. One experience of the kind is gen
orally enough for the ordinary individual.

Democratic Jubilee at Littlestown.

The Democratic Jubills at Littlestown, Pa,
on Saturday last brought together an immense
crowd of Democrats, all happy over the grand
result. The OK roast in Ocker's Park in the
afternoon proved fine success, and speeches
were made by Senator Ross and Squire Sher
wood, of York. In the evening the town was
brilliantly illuminated and fire works bazed,
and a torchlght procession marched the prin
cipal streets amid the cheers Of the throng.

Watch the Departments.

From the Laurence Mass Sentinel.
A Washington paper calls to mind the at
tempted destruction of public records by the
burning of some of the department buildings
at the capital at the time of the election of
Tilden in 1876, when there was almost GER
tainty of these records being overhapled by
unfriendly hands, and an expes4ra of their
damaging contents being made. The incl
deGt 10 we'll remembered, and the words of
caution now spoken are not mere sensa,
tional appeal. There is nothing improbable
in the belief that what has been done will be
repeated, and that efforts will be made to
destroy the accusing records, at whatever
sacrifice of public property. The rasoais who
have been protected under Republican ad ,
ministratiQns have nothing to hope for under
the new order Of things which will be inaugu-
rated next March,
