No Arrangements Vet Made TO Transfer
Him to the lseuitentisry.
Sheriff Clemons has not yet received
official notification that the sentence Of
Frank Beck has been commuted from
hanging to Imprisonment for life, and
until he does will make no arrange
ments to transfer him to the Eastern
penitentiary. where he will spend the
remainder Of his life. unless pardoned
by some OF the future boards through
whose agency the commonwealth ex-
tends it's mercy.
Beck continues to be one Of the
mildest and most tractable prisoners in
the county jail, and also one Of the
best eaters. At no time did his im-
prisonment or the worriment incident
to his position seriously interfere with
his appetite.

But There Are Other and Less Expensive
Ways Of Testing q Watch.
Different persons have different ways
of testing the merits of watch, but it
is to be hoped that no one will be led
by this article to follow the method
employed by drunken individual in
Reichart's jewelry store last evening.
He asked to see a gold watch and up
on being shown one of the best opened
the case and by exerting all his force
snapped 1t in twain between his fingers,
saying as he placed the pieces on the
counter that the time piece was no
good.
When he Indignantly refused to be
responsible for the fragility Of the
watch case or his own exceptional
strength Mr.. Reichart called Patrolman
Meinzer and had him arrested.

him. The Lackawanna hospital ampui-
ance was sent for and the injured man
was taken there. where he remained for
q long time lowering between life and
death. Lefcofski and Kessler were
committed to jail. When McClOskey
recovered they were released on baih
Kessler Immediately sued for the hand
OF Miss Yankowski and was received
with favor. They were married soon
afterward. The defense will maintain
and that the assault was committed In
self defense.
1t Was Another Scalzo.
Gerome Scalzo. of Carbondale not the
man who tried to blow up Gabriel Pug
liano's house with dynamite. was tried
on two charges, felonious attempt. and
/ carrying concealed weapons. H.P.Wills.
watchman in the Delaware and Hudson
yard at Carbondale. was the prosecutor.
The jury found Scalzo guilty Of carry
ing concealed weapons and Of wantonly
discharging firearms. which is the third
count in the other Indictment.
One Sunday last August a number OF
Italians congregated on the company's
property; Mr. Wills undertook to dis
perse them and was greeted with vol
ley of pistol shots by Mr.. Scalzo The
defendant tried to prove an alibi, say
ing that he was at a friends house when
the shooting is said to have occurred.
He produced three witnesses, who swore
that Scalzo was in their company en-
gagged in a quiet game Of cards, but the
Jury did not credit the defense and
found the man guilty.
Simon Kolmosky, of Old Forge, was
acquitted of assault and battery ana
pointing a pistol, but he was directed 10
nay the costs. Mrs. Mary Tracey was
the prosecutrix.
An Easter Monday Christening.
A term of quarter sessions court WITH
in the past three years would nave
been an anomaly without several cases
on the list caused by law breaking at
the Ridge" in Archibald borough. But,
strange to relate. the first case In good
while from the Ridge was one called for
trial yesterday. John Shecilska was
charged with falonious wounding and
Wassa Lozak was the prosecutor.
Shecilska had a cross suit or assault
and battery against Lazak, John HUI
haltis, John Hamanick and John Con-
nella. The two cases were tried together.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien and Assistant
District Attorney John M. Harris rep
resented the commonwealth. Shecilska
was defended by Attorney w. ]. Lewis.
The jury will pass upon the guilt or
innocence of all parties from the testi-
mony in the case Of felonious wounding.
which was put on trial.
Last Easter Monday there was a
christening at the Ridge and the liti-
gants were there celebrating. The
principal enjoyment was emptying kegs
of beer, and after a large quantity of
that tonic was consumed, the natural
result. a free fight, occurred. Lazak
claims that Shecilska peppered him
with bullets from a large revolver, and
Shecilska claims that he was being
murderously assaulted by the others,
and used the weapon in self defense.
The case will go on today.
Peter Smith was tried for larceny.
He was charged with stealing two gold
rings from a bureau drawer in the
house of George Block, Of this city. The
evidence was not sufficient to convict
and Judge Edwards instructed the jury
to bring In verdict Of not guilty.

Wheelmen has made against John
S. Johnson are that he received
money from the promoters of race
meets for riding; having sold or
disposed Of prizes won and having

have been under investigation for
several months and were first
started by Chairman Raymond.

do so if the racing board will agree
to pay the freight charges from

VIM g. Irwin a Co. LTD. HoNOLuLU:
GENTLEMEN The mill has been running dur.
ing the past two weeks. with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results
Our mill consists OF three sets OF two rol-
ers - in. dia. by y in. long, the shredder
discs being It, 7 in. long, driven hy an
automatic engine II in dia. cylinder by Ii
in. stroke
The Rattoon cane being mined IS as hard
hs IT Is possible for cane % be- having been
subjected to a severe drought during the
whole period of it, growth, and growing on
and with Il trade wind exposure. Our eX-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to he Just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared to have its juice extracted than for
merlN after passing through the first mill.
The first mil is now allowed to open y-l6 in.
l. stead of y in. as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
II formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed grOaniug, choking, and strain
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
not water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 30
per cent on the total juice from the cane.
The trash from the last mill Is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied,
mi ch of it resembling saw dust, il contains
as per statement 80 per cent of moisture and
ilahcs SEbu lucl, tne juice from lnH laSt mil
stands q degrees BrlN., SO that the moisture
in the trash is Of 3 per cent. sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken to keep them
from blowing Off where's before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial jon, and should cause little or no
trouble, as it is subjected TO but light strains.
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-Obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,
A MOORE

Messrs Honolulu Iron Works CO.-DEAR
SiRS We have used the Crusher since the
beginning OF the season and have had no
trouble or hitch whatever with it or the
engine.
The Crusher is extracting 40 per cent. to 30
per cent. OF the juice beside cutting the cane
in pieces five to six inches long and giving II
perfect even and steady feed tu the three
roller mill. We are doing ~ to % per cent.
more Ork per day and could do much more if
our boiling house capacity would permit. We
are saving the labor of six men on the cane
c rrier every day.
Everythil about the Crusher works
smooth and easy, and the amount of steam
co lsumed Is trlthng, rs you may judge, for We
are running two eugines for the three mills
and have 5 cam to spare for the B 'iling House
from 6X2u foot boiler. OF Coui Sc with this
even feed of crushed cane from he crusher
we are enabled to close down our mill IN ch
more than ever before and from experiments
of drying The trash, there was only 40 to i3 per
cent. of moisture left in IT.
Our run of grinding ordinarily, is from 81
lowest, to W highest, 10 gallon clariiiers in
fourteen hours
remain, yours respectfully.

Messrs. Honolulu Iron Works Co., DEAR
SIRS: We have been workins the kra jewsk

without delay and with the mos sat sfactory
results from the start. our daily work has
increased from 6O clariiicrs to 81 clarifers tJUD

the extraction has increased considerably and

the irusher capprehendcd that our ste9m-
ing capacity might be insufficient, but we find
that the Crusher and the three roller mill TO
gether consume less power than did the 3 roll

Crust er amounts to 20 per cent. of the juice
and the roller mill receives steady and
regular feed thereby decreasing the risk OF
breaking he roller shafts.
