An Exciting Time.

: Anthony Ledinski and Anthony BIZ
noski were arraigned yesterday morning
before T. A. Buckley, J. P, charged by
Burgess Gallagher with creating a dis
turbance on the streets on Saturday
evening. They were each fined $5 and
So for costs, which they paid.
After making the arrest the prisoners
broke from Officer Fritzinger and ran into
Joe Duberinski's saloon on Walnut street.
They were taken out by Burgess Gala
CHER, officers Fritzinger, Krouse and
Jas. NJ. Gallagher, but not without an
exciting tussel with several Poles who
were in the saloon. 1t is likely that
other arrests will follow for interference
with the officers.

Because He Broke His Pledge.

Michael Mangan, of Inkerman, this
county, attempted suicide on Friday
morning by cutting his throat with a
razor. He told his wife he did not care
for any breakfast, and going to his bed
room he drew the sharp instrument
across his throat. Just as he made the
cash his twelye-year-old daughter enter
ed the room, and as he again raised the
razor to complete the work she rushed
upon him and took it out of his hand.
The wound is severe and he is not ex-
pected to recover.
1t appears that Mangan has been for
many years member of temperance
society, and few days ago, while suf-
fering severe pain from chronic all
ment OF his right hip, he was tempted
to drink some whiskey. The fact that
ne broke the pledge so preyed upon his
mind that he became temporarily in, ane
and attempted to take his life.

CHICAGO'S POOR.
An Army of Over 100000 in That City
Without Work or Money.

"ithouU NOrk or Money.
1t is estimated that the number of I'M
employed in Chicago is III, 900, and so
great has their suffering become that
the Illinois conference of charities and
corrections at special meeting appoint
ed committee of 100 representatives to
at once proceed to raise charity fund
of 81 900, 900 for the relief of the most
pressing wants of the worthy and deserv-
ing poor. Editor Stead, who was at
the meeting, suggested that if the minis
ters and millionaires were turned into
the streets for one night the money
would be forthcoming at once.
p. Rend, of the citizens committee,
made the assertion that such calamity
has never visited Chicago before. The
city's elevators are bursting with sup
plies, he said, and yet people are starry
ing for the want of food. The sentiment
of the meeting seemed strong in favor of
getting the city authorities to provide
work for as many of the unemployed as
possible.
BY actual count 1,119 men sought
shelter in city hall for Thursday night.
Every effort is being made to relieve the
wants of the poor, but the number in
actual need is so great that many must
suffer before charity can reach them.

years, 10 months and 27 days, and was
born at Blaenavon, Monmouthshire,
South Wales.
The funeral took place yesterday after

HOworth's Double Show.

From the Halifax, n s., Mail.
AT the academy of of music an en-
thusiastic and delighted audience wit
messed the entertainment given by Ho-
worth's Hibernica Comedy and Special
lty Company. The company is the best
OF the kind that has ever appeared here,
and Is likely to draw good houses for
the balance of the season, if the express
slons OF those who left after the perfor-
nance last evening count for anything.
Ihe programme embraces many new
ana novel features and is refined and
pleasing throughout, and all those who
took part gave ample evidence of the pos
session OF talents of high order musical
and otherwise. The views exhibited are
splendid and decided improvement
upon what has been shown heretofore.

ago, and who was an object of pity
through the sad accident, was arrested

BODY OF A MAN FOUND ON SATUR-
DAY NEAR SANDY RUN.

He Laid Among the Bushes Without
Clothing and Death Resulted from Ex-
posure-Identified as Thomas CIery,
Who Has a Wife and Five Children.
While two Hungarians, employees of
M. S. Kemmerer & Co., of Sandy Run,
were cutting sprays on Saturday they
came upon the body of man in the
swamp back of the breaker in that place.
The body was lying in clump of bushes,
and was covered with only shirt and
vest. The remainder of the clothing
was found scattered around at distance
of about 200 feet from the corpse.
The Hungarians notified Officer

he sent word to Squire Buckley, who
held an inquest with the following as
jurymen: w. B. Koons, w. L. Martin,
]. B. Rumsey, A. G. Raught, Jerry
Woodring and Edward A. Klinger.
The pockets of the clothes found were
all empty, excepting one, which contain
ed miners certificate issued in the
third district to Thomas Clery, of Ply
mouth, aged q years, and who was born
in this country. At the inquest Daniel
M. Gallagher, of Sandy Run, identified
the man as Clery, and stated that he
had worked in Halle Brook colliery with
him in 1887. No other information of
any consequence could be obtained, as

heard of in that neighborhood.
The jury rendered verdict that death
was caused by exposure, and the body
was taken charge of by Undertaken Nc

town.

and gave description of the man. Mr..
Coyle stated that Clery was his brother

place the funeral will take place on
Wednesday afternoon at p. M, under
charge of Undertaken Brislin. Inter-
ment will be made at st. AIMS ceme-
terry. He was aged about So years.

JUDGE GUERRY RESIGNS.
A VACAN. Y IN THE JUDGESHIP OF
THE PATAULA CIRCUIT

VIII Occur TomorrOw--The Salary Too
Small for HIM to Live Upon PrOba-
BILE Applicants for the Place.
Monday morning Judge j. HI. Guerry
mailed to Governor Northen his resigna-
ton as judge of the Pataula circuit, to
take effect on tomorrow, Agust 10th.
Judge Query, who has filed the posi-
ton with dignity and ability and with
credit to the. state for several years, says
he was forced to retire from the bench
on account of the small salary paid the
superior court judges.
Judge Query has been offered posi-
ton as one of the attorneys of the Cen
trail railroad This, with the practice he
will do outside, will pay him much more
than the salary he is receiving as Judge.
Solicitor General Griggs is the only
applicant we know of for the vacant
judgeship, and will doubtless be APP
pointed by Governor Northen. He would
make a worthy successor to the retiring
judge and his host of friends throughout
the circuit would be very much pleased
at his promotion.
Should Solicitor Griggs be promoted
to the iudgeship Hon. H. c. Sheffield, of
Arlington, will be an applicant for the
