William Sulgofsky was acquitted at
Wilkes-Barre on Friday on the charge of
killing Peter Silitzky. The evidence,
which was circumstantial, was over
whelmingly, against him.
Mark King of Hazleton, who was con-
victed of manslaughter on September "a
for killing his wife, was brought into
court for sentence on Monday. Judge
Woodward sentenced him to pay fine
of 5000 and to undergo an imprisonment
in the Eastern Penitentiary for six years
and four months.
The case of George W. Moss of Wilkes
Barre, charged with the murder of his
wife, was called and the descendant took
his seat at the table. He had no counsel
and the court appointed George W.
Shonk and James L. Lenahan to look
after his case. They asked for time for
preparation and after brief consultation
with the district attorney, the case was
laid over until January term.
Edward and Mary Glynn of Pittston,
who have been in Jail in Wilkes-Barre
for four months, awaiting trial on a
charge of poisoning Glynn's mother and
also Mrs. Glynn's mother to secure insur-
ance money, were discharged from GUS
tody on Saturday, as District Attorney
Darte concluded that there was not suffi-
cient evidence against them to warrant
their being placed on trial. The dis
charge from custody, however, does not
constitute an acquital. The proceedings
through which they secured their liberty
are not in the nature of a verdict by a
jury. 1t was simply an acknowledgment
upon the part of the commonwealth that
there does not exist at present sufficient
evidence to secure conviction. If, at
any time in the future, the missing links
in the chain of testimony can be found,
the Glynns can be arraigned again and
tried for the atrocious crime which now
stands unproven. 1t remains to be seen
whether the district attorney, with the
resources at his command, can supply
the evidence needed in this case, fasten
the crime upon the proper parties and
bring them to speedy justice.

POPPING THE QUESTION.

When in the course of human events,
young man makes up his mind to ask
the very important question, he finds
great difficulty in coming to the point. AS
we are not at all bashful we boldly say:
Will you not answer yes to us, as we ask
you to go to your druggist or dealer in
toilet articles, and purchase bottle of
Vail Brothers Ideal Tooth Powder, the
best made. As an inducement for you
to try it, we give you handsome engrav-
ing with two 25 cent bottles, 20 X "a, no
advertising on it. There is ticket
around the neck of each bottle.

A Day With the Examiners.

Saturday, November IA, was the last
day on which applications for certificates
of service could be made in the Northern
section of the Fourth Inspection District
of LuZerne County. A representative of
the TRIBUNE visited the Woodside school
house, where the board was in session.
The board is composed of James Har-
kins, Drifton Thomas Smith, Mines
vile, and Theopholis Gibbon, Drifton.
Quite a number of miners took advan-
tage of the opportunity to present them
selves and receive certificates, while a
number yet remain who have not done
so and they will be compelled to undergo
an examination the same as new appli-
cantS.
The number of certificates of service
issued by the board up to and including
November is 1875. The number of
those who made application under the
law to be examined as to competency
was SO; of this number 25 failed and 50
received certificates.
The TRIBUNE's representative was
present during the process of eXamina
ton, and can say that is was conducted
in fair and impartial manner. The
questions were of such nature that any
man with ordinary common sense could
nave duSWcIcu lueil, yeJ IiieTe was ilOl
one passed successful examination on
Saturday.
The answers given to the questions
put to applicants were very amusing, as
for instance the question of Mr.. Harkins
to person whom he had every reason
to know was born in Ireland.
"You were born in Ireland, were you
not?"
eyes, but I'm not Far Down." was
the answer.
1t is needless to state that this brought
down the house, only to be followed
shortly after by another somewhat SINH
lar. Mr.. Gibbon had son of Poland
under examination and asked:
"Are you citizen?"
'No," came the answer, "me Demo-
crat."
Incidents of this kind are frequently
met by the examiners and from the
general answers given it would seem
that there are quite number possessing
certificates of service, who, if they had
to undergo an examination, would utterly
fail. That the law is benefit to miner
and employer is acknowledged by all
who have closely watched its workings,
as it compels the employer to engage
only those who possess the necessary
qualifications to enable them to take
care of themselves, thereby avoiding
unnecessary suits for damages, and pro-
tecting the miner from the danger of
working with inexperienced men. The
fact of the law being defective in certain
respects is no reason why it should be
condemned, and it is the duty of every
miner in this district to live up to and
help fulfill the requirements of the law.

A Brakeman Loses n Leg.

John Mooney of Hazleton, engaged as
a brakeman on the Lehigh Valleys local
freight shifter, met with a serious acci-
dent Saturday morning He left his
home about five O'Clock to go to work,
and at the Cedar Street crossing he at
tempted to board engine No. 1856 in
charge of Engineer Petit. The step
was icy and the young man missed his
footing, falling ON the rail. The wheels
passed over his left leg between the
knee and ankle, crushing it into a shape
less mass, while the toes and heel of the
right foot were also cut. The unfortu-.
nate man was removed to his home and
from there to st. Luke's Hospital. Upon
his arrival at the hospital the physicians
in charge said amputation of the leg was
necessary. The operation was therefore
performed and the injured member
taken off near the knee. Late advices
from Bethlehem say the young man is
doing as well as may be expected under
the circumstances. STANDARD.

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company has begun work on huge
coal-storing bins between the Mount
Carmel and Excelsior Galleries, in
Schuylkill county, which will accom-
modate l,000,0 900 tons of coal. The object
of the company in erecting these huge
receptacles is to enable it to lay by coal
in dull seasons instead of shutting down
the mines, as is now necessary. When
the work is completed and the coal
storage plant at Port Richmond is also
finished, it will be possible for the
company to give steady employment to
its miners, and the output from week to
week will no longer have to be closely
regulated by the state of demand.

Great Coal Vein Discovered.

Jacob L. Lawrence of Minersville, and
Geo. L. Brown of Frackville, who oper-
ate a coal colliery under the firm name
of Lawrence & Brown at Mahanoy Plane,
have made great strike of new mann
moth vein of coal, which is the sensation
of the Schuylkill regions. The vein is
believed to be 200 feet thick, containing
millions of tons, and is the greatest acct
dental 'find' of pure coal ever known.
The vein was struck while making a
drift nearly 400 feet under ground.
Many believe that the mammoth vein
basin, for which the operators have been
hunting for many years, has at last been
found.
