OTHER CASES ACTED ON BY THE COURT

The county laundry did an unusually
light business yesterday. The overture was
about the iveliest ever witnessed in the
Quarter Sessions. j. G. Dicken, in making
a motion for new trial in a case, quoted,
as he alleged, from remarks made by Judge
Ewing to the jury. Judge Ewing didn't
exactly call MI. Dicken a liar, but his Ian
guage amounted to that. Dicken, however,
was inperturbable and persisted until he
finally secured about what he wanted. A
plentiful supply of oil overcame His Honor's
acidity. The reasons filed by MI.
Dicken in support of his motion were
unique and their reading set the audience
in a roar. One was that Judge Ewing had
remarked to him with regard to one of his
witnesses, "You had better withdraw him;
he's hurting your case" etc. Another was
that he, Dicken, had been limited to three
minute speech in addressing the jury, while
the prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Harry Goehr-
ing, had been allowed to go on without in
terruption, and had spoken six minutes.
Mrs. AlIshouse After Her Husband.
Ellen Allshouse asked the court to make
an effort to compel her husband, w. E. Ais
house, to support her and her babies She is
at present living with her father in Allie
gheny City, and her husband has been spend
ing much Of his time lately in Lowell o.
Mrs. Allshouse said she hadn't gotten any
thing from her husband since May.
Mr.. Allshouse, in extenuation, said that
he hadn't been able to get employment that
would secure meat and potatoes for himself
and family, and of late his wife had kept
him in jail, where he only got his board;
His beard was stubby, and he presented
the generally wilted appearance OF a crushed
tragedian and seemed to care very little
what was done with him.
Must Put Up Sc Week.
He was informed that he had the option to
pay Mrs. Allshouse 50 week or stay in Jail.
1t is not difficult to find that there is screw
loose somewhere in our economy, as week
after week men assert in the Quarter Ses-
sions Court that they cannot support their
families. and vet farmers have been crying
for help from Maine to Missouri all summer,
and offering $40 to $25 month therefor, with
board and washing.
Wyman fight for the Allegheny Mayornlty.
The gist Of his statement was that the Slay-
ton side had not yet produced anything sub
stantial to which the defense could answer,
and ended by suggesting that the shortest
way to get at the matter would be to have
the ballot boxes opened so as to show which
party got the advantage from the "horn-
plea was that the apparent sinuostties were
as a rule mere blunders and made IN favor
of both sides. Judge Ewing granted rule
to have the boxes opened.
