THE POLICE COURT JURY.
Ii 10 Not Yet Complete. Only Ten Having
Been Accepted.

II the men whose names were drawn from
the jury box for duty in the Police Court rep
resent the health of the city's population there
must be a great deal of sickness in the city.
Judge Miller, however, did not accept all the
excuses offered, as the general appearance OF
some Of the sick men was much better than
that Of some Of the well ones, and the judge
congratulated some of those said to be- i'll on
their healthy appearance
When the work of completing the jury was
begun twelve names were returned and they
were all sworn TO make true answers to the
questions propounded by the court.
Mr. Hugh VI. Kline was brought in on attach.
ment. He failed to respond yesterday. Hi
excuse was that he was in charge of Nr. Harry
Standiford drug store on street and he Was
the ouly pharmacist there. Mr.. Stamford is
sick.
Judge Miller thought that Mr. Klines bust
ness Of great Importance to the public and
excused him.
Il had the grip Yesterday was Mr.. B. L.
Wheeler's excuse. and the judge was glad to see
HIM looking so well today.
liam sick myself, interrupted John Blumer,
Pm troubled with NV heart"
He had no PHYSICIANS certificate, but his APP
pearance was such that there was no doubt as
10 his illness and he was excused
Fred ). Newman was like several other tales
men. ne tlid not Ndfit 10 anu luttedu OF
taking his place and being sworn he attempted
20 get by the judges side and give his excuse.
He was told to step aside and be sworn, but he
persisted in talking to the judge until he was
fined 80 for contempt
Henry +. Refs did not want to serve because
il would interfere with his business.
TOO much business" said Judge Miller lis
not a good excuse for relief from Jury duty.
The more business a man has the more ne is
qualified for jury duty, Business men are Just
the kind of men wanted, and instead of being
an excuse il is an index to the man'S character
and fitness for the duty"
The Judge further said that he would make
the duties - pleasant and agreeable as possible
SO that good citizens would not dread the
service.
TEN.NES ACCEPTED.
Those accepted were Fred 5. Newman, Henry
7. Refs. William Mayse, ir., Geo. W. Slant. A.
p. McElroy, Theodore b. Crow, W. S. PLACER,
Thornton \. Davis, colored. William H. File
brown and VIM. o. Douglass.
Judge Miller experienced some trouble be-
cause of the names Of persons who had recently
served on other juries being drawn. Under the
law such names are not to be put in the box
for At least one year after they have served, but
some OF the people called II appeared had
served this year. They were consequently
exempt under the law and excusing them caused
an unnecessary delay.
As II Was impossible to get the additional
taiesmen IN court at clock today tie court
adjourned until 10 o clock tomorrow.

| MoNoNGAHELA CITY, PA, July a.
John s. Smith and wife came 70 Monon.

gagged In the lumber business aud Opef.
ated a saw mill near Ginger Hill. he
also purchased steam thresher which
he had I'm operation throughout tLe
county, and opened feed store ol
Chess street. Smith was regarded a.
good business man and seemed % BE-
vertically coming money. lie was ola
devOut turn Of mind and was leading
member OF the Presbyterian church.
Recent developments have revealed
the fact that Smith was doing business
on other peoples money, that has piety
was counterfeit aud that AZ forger he
was gifted beyond the ordinary. Among
the people he swIndled are Alexander
& Co., the well known banking firm.
Amos Robbins, S. c. Horn, OF Ginger
Hill, and Representative J. Is. Finley.
All of these gentlemen and others

The first OF Smiths victims was Ma
than Wiley. Two years ago he Dor
rowed $50 from Wiley and gave a note
endorsed with his fathers name. When
Wiley died shortly afterward, his exec.
utors in settling mp the estate obtained
two notes from Smith for 500 and so,
each. Shortly afterward the report
went around that Smith was not exactly
straight and last week an Inquiry led
TO discovery that the two notes when
bore the name OF Smiths father were
not genuine and Smith was q i0fgef
John Van Voorhls. the grocer. Was
asked by Smith 20 endorse q note iof
him for SIS, and said his father NouA
| pay him the amount OF the note. van
Voorhls wrote his name on the face Of
the note. and told Smith he would en-
dorse n when the elder Smiths mans
was obtained. The note turned up q
