Kept TipStaH Jacob Ritter Company at the
Court House Saturday Night.
AN objection WAS ENTERED
Mr.. Soper Overruled It and Remained
at His Post in Spite of Objections.
Mr.. Ritter Says He Will Lay the
Whole Matter Before the Court This
Morning-He,FeeIs AggrieYed at the
Attorneys Remarks.

There may be interesting develop
ments in court to-day when the jury
in the cass of Mrs Mary Rosenagle
against ex,Judgs Handley hands in its
verdict, as Jacob Ritter, the veteran
tiDstaff SAYS he will ask the court to
take cognizance Of what he believes t o
have been very unbecoming conduct
on the part of Attorney G. H. Sopsr, of
counsel for Mrs Rosensgle,
On Saturday morning Mr.. Amerman
concluded his argument to the jury
on the part of ex-Judge Handley, and
was followed by Mr., Soper, who argued
IN Mrs. Rosenagle's behalf with much
vigor and eloquence. Judge Edwards
delivered his charge and late in the af
ternoon the jury retired, with the in
junction from the judge to seal up it's
verdict if it agreed aftOr court ad.
journed.
About o'clock Attorney Soper Wis
tied the upper corridor of the court
house into which opens the jury room
where the jurors were celebrating.
There were about a dozen persons in the
corridor at the time and Mr.. Soper took
down their names for future use, be-
lieving they had some sinister motive
in hanging about the neighborhood Of
the jury room.
MR.. soPER's LONG VISIT.
He departed soon after, but later re-
turned with, several friends and went
on watch outside of the jury room in
the corridor. After a time TipStaff
Ritter, who was posted outside of the
room in charge of the jury, objected to
the presence of Mr.. Soper and his
friends. He said that it was no place
for them and that they should depart
Mr.. Sopsr refused. He told Mr.. Ritter
that he knew he was favorable to ex
Judge Handley, and from his further
remarks the venerable tipstaff in ferred
that Mr. Soper believed he would try
and influence the jury in making up
its verdict
That aroused Mr. Rittsr's ire and he
again directed that Mr.. Sopar depart.
Upon his refusal to do so Mr. Ritter
endeavored to force compliance with
his request but was unsuccessful. The
| jury argued the. case until O'CLOCK
Sunday morning and then retired to
bed. Soon after Mr.ISoper and his
friends withdrew.
After they were outside of the build.
ing Mr.. Ritter gave orders that they
be not admitted again. AT 10 o'clock
yesterday morning Mr. Sopsr appeared
at the court house again but Janitor
Stone positively refused to allow him
to enter.
THE JURY AGREES.
Yesterday morning the jury again
attacked the problem before them with
a vim and at II 80 succeeded in har =
monizing their differences and will
bring the sealed verdict into court this
morning.
Tipstaff Ritter declared yesterday
that he would lay the whole history of
Saturday nights proceedings before
court this morning. He was highly
indignant at the imputation that he
would act in dishonorable manner.

The UNANsWERAsLe QUESTION
Sermon Delivered by Rev. Ralph Gillian
at Dunmors Presbyterian Church.

Sermon Delivered by Rev. Ralph Gillian
at Dunmors Presbyterian Church.
A strong sermon on The IMAM
swerable Question of the Day." was
preached by Rev. Ralph Gillian at the
Dunmore Presbyterian church last
night. Mr.. Gillian was listened to BIZ
a large audience, both the main audi
torium and lecture room being filled
A choir Of fifty children who occupied
the gallery, sang several selections.
Mr.. Gillian discussed his subject in
an impressive manner and his eloquence
held the undivided attention of the
large congregation to the end He
said that no man is able to say that he
can answer the important question of
How shall we escape if we
neglect 80 great salvation 2"
Should l ask Jesus for an an.
swsr to this question he would shake
his head and say there is no answer.
If man will believe on his Lord, he
knows all there is to know on this
question. Has anything ever been able
to do what this salvation has done on
this earth? This salvation was pur.
chased with blood, and it should be q
wonderful thing on this account.
If men would put into their religion
the common sense they put in their
every day life, there would not be any
man unsaved, as their salvation is
free. Do you want that salvation2
There is nothing that can compare
with the peace that belief in the Lord
Jesus Christ gives. There is no peace
outside of this one which is offered. 1t
is the only salvation There is no
other way to be saved than the one
spoken of in the Bible.
1t was one of the most impressive
sermons OF the week and the speakers
final appeal was so earnest and elo-
quent that the audience was percepti-
bly, moved
Services will be held this evening at
Z 80. but there will be no meeting this
afternoon.
