DURNING IS FREE AGAIN.
His Term o Servitude Ia Eastern Peni.
Tertiary for the Murder Of Peter
Martin Is Over.

Thomas burning, of Bellevue, was
released from the Eastern penitentiary
Thursday. On Jan. IS, 1887, he shot and
killed Peter Martin in a saloon In Belle
vue, the reason he gave for the deed be-
ing that he suspected Martin Of having
burglarized his place of business.
Durning's escape from the rope was
narrow. John Gibby, of Jefferson town
ship, the twelfth juror selected. was
the only one In favor of second degree,
and after being out fifty hours the 9TH
er eleven swung around and agreed
upon that verdict.
He was put on trial for his life on
Monday, April IS, 1887, before ex-Jus-
tice Alfred Hand, then president judge
of Lackawanna county. Hon. H. NJ.
Edwards was then district attorney,
and conducted the case for the COM
monwealth. The late Judge John +.
Connolly. then one of the leading men,
bers of the bar, defended Burning. The
case was very ably tried and lasted five
days. On Friday Of the same week at
4.30 in the afternoon it went to the jury
and the following Sunday evening at
$40 the verdict was returned.
Sentence was pronounced upon Durn-
ing on A pril 80. 1887. Twelve years was
the mi . um punishment provided by
law at l,.at time for murder Of the Sec
ond degree, and he got the full stretch.
Since then the Legislature has extended
the punishment to twenty years for the
first offense and life Imprisonment for
the second. Augustine Nolli, Of Dun
more, for the murder Of Concordia
Prignanno, was the first defendant
sentenced in this county under the new
act. Judge Gunster gave him fifteen
years.
Burning served exactly nine years
and three months, securing commuta-
tion of two years and nine months for
good behavior. His health Is good, and
the trade he learned Is that Of q baker.

bers in the injunction proceedings OF
the borough Of Winton against the Mt.
Vernon Street Railway company. At
torney I. Fl. Burns represented the de-
fendant and Hon. c. p. O'Malley, the
plaintiff.
The company was supposed to have
its tracks laid by May l, 1896, accord
ing to the ordinance granting the right
Of way; but on Feb. /. 1897. supple
mental legislation was enacted by the
borough council fixing the time limit
three years from that date. The COM
pany was not required then to have
it's tracks laid until Feb. l, 1897. This
ordinance, however. was not recorded
on the ordinance book.
The plaintiff claims that this neg
lect invalidated the ordinance, and the
defendant that It does not. that the
borough cannot benefit by its own en-
rors. Another argument by the de-
fendant was that at the meeting when
it was decided to bring the suit for the
injunction, five of the members met In
special session and the other four had
not been notified at all. The burgess
did not give his consent, and it was
argued that these facts make the meet
ing illegal. Judge Gunster reserved
his decision,

A joint session OF the Pittston city
councils was held last night to elect a
mayor pro TEN and after nine ballots
the body adjourned without having
made a selection. The session was a
very exciting one.
Thomas Maloney is mayor of Pitts
ton but some months ago he went
abroad with his wife to travel for a
time and NJ. ]. Langan, superintendent
of the Newton Coal company. was Sc
lected as acting mayor until the return
of Mayor Maloney.
A month ago came the terrible dis
aster at the Twin shaft and Mr.. Langan
and those who went with him into the
Inflated mine never returned. II there
fore became necessary for the councils
to select another acting mayor and
they met last night for that purpose.
There were present Select Councilmen
Clifford, Toyne. Hennigan, Kennendy.
Reap, Bohan, Thompson. Dempsey and
Kearney and Common Councilmen
Joyce. Gerrity. Connell. Nelson, Drew.
McDonough. Madden. Baker, Toy. Do

Chairman Reap of the select council

session of the meeting and after the
object OF the meeting was stated. Thorn
as English and ex-Burgess Edward
Barrett were nominated for the office
of acting mayor. On the first ballot
English received IA votes and Barrett,
12, Select Councilman Thompson voting
for Benjamin Hartig. The second bal
lot was English, Is; Barrett, u, and
so it remained during the succeeding
seven ballots.
It required seventeen votes to elect
and after the ninth ballot an adjourn

being impossible to arrive at choice
last night. The meeting was attended
