The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1895-06-21

In last weeks FREEMAN we called at
tention TO the fact that the array of jurors
| had been quashed when the case Of the
! Commonwealth vs.. DR.. John ID. MIlIlfgan
came up for trial, and that ''the old time
roasting of blundering officials was sadly
wanting in the Republican papers, not be-
cause there was no blundering but be-
cause officials happened this time to be
Republicans instead Of Democrats.
The Gosling this week wants to excuse
the bInder because the same blunder
had been made twelve years ago. The
Costing says:
In Sheriff Luther'S term an array OF
Jurors " as dismissed by the late Judge
Johnston in the Mickey Smith murder
case. because Sheriff Luther. iwhO was
Democratic otficiaD, possessed a key To
the boN containing the jury wheel, which
was contrary TO law.
The array of jurors in the Mickey Smith
case was not dismissed by the late Judge
Johnston--the Costing is never right IN its
StatementS--it was dismissed by Judge
Dcan-aud when an array of jurors was
dismissed for a certain cause then, there is
little or no excuse for its repetition twelve
years after. We were not. however. in
last weeks FREEMAN so particularly
anxious to call attention to the biunder OF
the officials as to the ''mImucss" sung by
the Republican organs.
And again the Costing says:
Judge Barker did his duty. and hau
more Reason for dscharging the jurors
than Judge Johnston had, because Sheriff
Coulter has kept his private cigar box IN
the drawer. which although part OF the
cabinet. is quite independent of the jury
wheel aud If the sheriff had 50 desired
ne might have tampcred with the Jury
wheel" which. OF course, aS he lrStlHed.
he did not do. In fact. he could not have
unlocked the jury wheel from the opening
made by the drawer. this being physical
IuUuSSibiliJy, but he could have tamDer-
ed with il. which in the eyes of the law
i quite aS bad.
The habit o! keeping cigars in this
drawer did not originate with Sheriff
Coulter. but was handed down to him 10y
his PREDECESSOR with the other customs
and effects of the office, which IN the same
manner descended To him, 50 that II u Il
very hard matter just now 10 tell how
many til!iugS of the jury wheel might
have been JanpeTrd with iH years agOne
Tad the sheriff in charge $50 desired
Quite likely the custom originated with
the early Democratic SherInS, though al
least one of their jury wheel cabinets
did not have any drawer being nClhlnS
more OF less than an everyday cheese box.
The G0SllHg is wrong again, having evi-
IDENTIFY got its local historical know ledge Of
the court house confounded with that of
the draft during the late war. The same
Jury wheel has been used in the court house
in this place time whereof the memory of
nan ruuneth not 10 the contrary unless
it has been changed very lately, while the
everyday cheese box was brought into
nuturicty and figured during the time of
the draft but never in the drawing of
Jury.

y. R.R Completing its work

Tuesdays Pittshurg Post says: When
the hard times struck the country
two years ago, large amount
OF work along the main line of the Penn
SyIvania railroad was left in an unfinished
state until recently. when the company
decided that the increased earnings were
sufficient tn Justify the completion of the
Improvement. The work has been going
on for some weeks and good progress is
disceruibIc at all points. On the Middle
Division. the third track between Tyrone
and Shoenbergcr. a distance of about two
miles. iS being finished. while the fourth
track for about mile east of Mifiilin i
equally far advanced. On the Philadel-
phia division the changing Of the position
of the tracks in the vicinity of Salunga,
the laying of the fourth track in the vi
cinity of DOwuingtOu. and the ira * inn
proVcmeutS east of Lancaster. are well
advanced toward completion. Consider
able new track i also being laid on the
Pittsburg division, All along the line OF
| the Pennsylvania railroad great improve
mentS are in progress, which will greatly
| facilitate the movement of the heavy and
constantly increasing traffic. 1t j. the un-
| derStanding that it will be the policy o
! the PenuSy ylvania railroad management tC
! continue TO make such improvements il

the last week grasshoppers appeared on
the John Rouse farm and have been in
creasing in number daily, and 80 numerous
are they now that the entire destruction
of :he grass crop is threatened. Persons
who have been there to see say the grass
i actually weighted down with graSShop-
pers. and so vOraciouS are they that in a
few days they will consume all the clover

scattered over thirty acres and every
