A JURY OF FOUR.
Speak, -Easy Cnses Disposed of In the
Criminal Court.

Spenk-Easy Cnses Disposed Of In the
Criminal Court.
There was rather peculiar jury trial in
the Criminal Court yesterday afternoon.
The case of Mary Williams VS. Mary Nc
Carthy. for assault and battery, had been
called and the work of securing jury be-
gun. The crier kept calling name after
name until the panel was exhausted and
only four jurors were in the box. This was
rather perplexing state of affairs, as Dis
trict Attorney Johnston was anxious to have
the case, which was a tritiing affair, dis
posed Of. What to do tine District Attor-
ney didn't know, but finally the parties to
the suit helped him out by declaring they
were satisfied to 60 ahead with a jury of
four. Judge White was consulted and
agreed to 60 ahead. The case was then tried
by the four jurors, who returned verdict
of not guilty without leaving the box.
The jury in the case of Mrs. Lin Badger,
charged with selling liquor without license,
returned verdirt OF not guilty and the de-
fendant was honorably discharged.
A. E Garbig aud NJ. G. Cook were yes-
terday convicted OF charge of assault and
battery. A. E. Garbig was also convicted
on another charge of assault and battery on
Mary Moore.
Edward Mccullough was convicted on q
charge OF aggravated assault and battery.
The juries are out in the case of Mary
Wasson, charged with selling liquor with
out license, and Charles Kirschner, charged
with aggravated assault and battery.

Theological Seminary, and Rev. Prof. E.
d. Morris, D. D.. LII. D.. of Lorne, are in
favor of revision. DR.. Morris was Mode
rator of the General Assembly of 1875, at
which time he spoke against revision.
Rev. Samuel j. Niccolls, D. D., native
of Pennsylvania, is well known in this city
He was once offered professorship in the
Western Theological Seminary. He was
born in Westmoreland county in 1889, edu-
Gated at Elderseidge Academy and Jeffer-
son College, ard studied theology in the
Western Theological Seminary. He was
first settled in Chambersburg. Pa, and
served as chaplain of the Twenty-sixth Reg
iment Pennsylvania Volunteers during the
war. He settled over the Second Presby-
terian Church of st. Louis in 1865, and this
church has grown during his ministry of %
years to be by far the largest in the State of
Missouri, and west of the Mississippi river.
He was Moderator Of the General Assembly
of 1872. and has been the chairman of many
important committees. His position on re-
vision is well known and he will make his
influence felt in the committee from the
start
Hon. William Strong, ex-J Justice of the
United States Supreme Court for nearly 80
years an elder in the Presbyterian Church,
has pronounced views on revision.
Ex-senator Samuel j. R. Mcmillan, of

order of things. We would be glad to make
not blame that road for not doing 1t. From
Titusville to Oil City is a very short run.
They tart the train at Titusville and run it
on arc und and up the river to Clean. The
conn ection in the morning is good, however,
and there il nothing against it but the
change of coaches. So far as men are con-
cerned that is rather in its favor. Most
men prefer to change into clean coaches.
CONSIDERING THE QUESTION.
Returning in the evening, however,
Iltusville passengers have to wait in Oil
City about an hour for the train down the
river. We are considering that question
now, and am trying to get the other road
to make close connections with US, either by
starting their train earlier from Olean, or
running faster down the river This may
be accomplished in the new schedule to be
put on in about month. 1 hope it may be.
But we don't feel like changing our train.
1t is run now so as to nicely accommodate
our patrons, and get our franklin and Oil
City patrons home in time for supper. 1t
was formerly run later, necessitating stop
at Foxburg for supper, which was very an
noying to passengers for points north of that
But hope the connection at Oil City may
be remedied.
"As to the two rates from Philadelphia,
don't think any of that freight comes over
our road. 1 would be glad to know that it
does, but I fear it don't. The Pittsburg
and Erie naturally carries that freight as
far as it can, which would be to Irvineton,
or Cory. It would not be tnrned over to
US at either point. am glad our new fast
trains are appreciated"
G. D. McCargo, General Freight Agent
OF the Allegheny Valley, said the Phlladel-
phia freight for Titusville did not come
over the Valley at all. He confirmed the
statement that the freight rates between
this city and Titusville were better than be-
tween the latter point and Buffalo.
Briefly, then, Pittsburg is gaining in
trade. United effort on the part of our
tradespeople to offer proper inducements to
our neighbors to come here, and such i'm
provements as may be made in the facilities
for communication will bring the trade
here. Improvement has already been made
AS the traffic grows other Improvements
will follow. CRUM.

When the wedding month arrived, how

keep his promise, and now avoids and re-

damages. Woodal, she says is worth at

turned out to be, so far as he was concerned,
prosaic thing enough, and vet in this sud-
den decline from romance, poetry had not
wholly died. Detached mind pictures rose
before this dreaming Dragons eyes of his
cOurtship of this now celebrated village
beauty. He remembered his at first de-
lighted surprise at her arrival in Berlin,
surprise which grew into a fevered jealousy
as ne heard the fame of her beauty banded
by coarse lips. He remembered her blush
ing avowal that this daily incense Of
hattery nauseated her. and that she had
made up her mind to enter business in
Berlin only that she might be nearer the
man she loved! How was it possible,
