Yesterday afternoon at three minutes al
ter five o'clock the jury in the case Oh
State VS.. VIM. Eaton. indicted for the
arson of the building. No. 1902 Main street,
last February came into court with YER
dict of guilty as charged in the Indictment
after being out thirty-two minutes. Inc
usual motion was made for new tral
and in arrest of judgment. and this was
set down for the first day of the next reg
ular term The penalty for the crime or
which Eaton has been convicted is from
three to ten years in the penitentary
When Court opened yesterday morning,
Mr.. Boyce, for the defense, continued the
argument which had been opened for the
State by Mr.. Nesbitt the evening before
After speaking for about an hour Mr.
Boyce gave way to his colleague. Col. Ar
nett. who made the best possible use OF a
very bad case. and brought into play all
his well-known eloquence and argumenta-
tive endowments. There was a very good
sized audience present. and the Colonel
was listened to with the deepest interest
by all present, including the jury.
At the afternoon session Hon. John A.
Howard closed the argument for the state,
and the Court room was we'll crowded,
many business men being among the aud
fence. Mr.. Howard made one of the best
addresses even coming from his lips,
which sufficiently describes it, He was fol-
lowed very closely, and his argument was
commented on very generally by those who
heard it as being great effort. He went
through the evidence from start TO finish,
and when he had concluded, Eatons
chances hung simply on hope.
The instructions of the Court were soon
given, and at half-past four the jury filed
out. returning at the time above stated
with the verdict of guilty. The jury was
polled at the request of the defense and
every member answered promptly that he
concurred in the verdict The motion for
a new trial and in arrest of judgment fol-
lowed Col. Arnett saying, in support or
his request for delay until the first day
Of the next regular term that he desired
time to procure affidavits.
The capture and conviction of Eaton
is very much to the credit of Capt. Robt.
McNichol and his force, who worked up
the evidence under many difficulties. Coun-
sci for the State also handled the case ex-
ceedingly well.
The jury Is understood to have been
unanimous on the first ballot.

Luen Cock Hi, a Chinese girl, appar-
entity about years old, but who i. IL
years old according to the statements OF
her friends, arrived on the steam ship
China with return certificate as q natlve-
born American. She was refused landing
by the customs officials, they being o.
the opinion that the return certificate nad

The girl was taken ashore, however. on

was well dressed in the holiday coiors of
Eer people and was very pert in her
Oriental way, and got along very well not
withstanding the tact that she cannot
speak word of English.
Inc case was referred to United States
Com M issloner Heacock, who, pending the
hearing, ordered the girl removed 10 tn

A PISTOL LIKE
A LIVE CANNON
Kytka Gets a Wonderful
Automatic Weapon
From Bavaria.
The Recoil From Every Shot
Fires the Next Shell in
the Chamber.
Chief Lees Startled by Seeing a
Small Bullet Pierce a Steel
Target.

The most powerful and wonderful
weapon ever seen in this country in the
way of a revolver has just been received
from Bavaria by Theodore Kytka, the
handwriting expert.
The weapon is the 1897 invention of
Bergman, the welI-known Bavarian
mechanic, and it is called an automatic
pocket pistol, because all it requires is for
the marksman TO set the pace by pulling
the trigger once. whereupon 1t empties
itself OF six load. in two seconds, sending
32-caliber steel bullet with such velocity
that six-lnch hardwood plank is pierced
al the distance of 800 yards.
The weapon was taken to Chief Lees
last night. He thought it looked like a
toy and was inclined to doubt that It
would perform half the things claimed on
the bill.
Il cannot say" said Kytka, "but if it Is
humbug II cost me about 800, including
IS for expressage and $1l for tariffs. Let
u trv it,"
Chief Lees and the owner of the revolver
then went to the basement and tried the
revolver on the target used by the patrol
men. Chlef Lees allowed Kytka to fire
first, while he observed the terrible effects
of six shots al distance OF $50 feet In
two seconds the weapon had discharged
the shells from every cham Der in a SIN oke-
less and quiet way. The Chief, who had
pronounced ii a toy, got out his glasses
and scanned the target, where the experts
aim had scored % out of a poss BILE win
ming IF 30. The only difference between
the appearance OF the target and its con-
dltion after a test with an ordinary re-
vol yer was that the target was practically
ruined, being riddled by the innocent
looking little steel bullets, which had
com pleie!y buried themselves in three
inches OF chilled steel The Chief asked
the owner OF the weapon to please refrain
from loading the cham bers again any,
where within few thousand feet of the
City Hall. after which Kytka wiped the
treasure carefully with a chamois skin,
put 1t In his POCKET and walked away sat
lshed that ne owns the greatest revolver
in the world.
weapon is 10 ade so safe that it cannot be
fired. There is also a little spring which
may be so worked that the firing may be
rrested a any point under the sixth
shell. The marksman must decide before
be pulls the trigger just how many shots
he wanJs TO fire.
The strangest point about this wonder
full revoiver IS the fact that all of the re-
coll is utilized by the mechanism, and il
Is the force OF the recoii which discharges
all the shots after The first one. The Ba-
varian Cove nment has been negotiating
with The inventor for the exclusive right
TO use the instrument, but tho matter has
not yet been closed. Ii is believed that
the lowest price at which Americans will
be able 10 secure the weapon is about $40.

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1897-01-04

The list Of applicants for license to sell
liquor, as published, makes interesting read
ing to the people of Shenandoah, as itappears
l61 citizens are anxious to minister to the
wants Of the public, and as usual there will
be several new ones granted, although
Lawyer Hollopeter has filed remonstances to
several. The number of applicants for retail
license by wards is: First, 81 Second, 81
Third, 40 Fourth, 8; Fifth, 26 Should
these all be granted Shenandoah will have a
drinking place for every 1l3 men, women and
children in the town, estimating our popula-
ton at Is, O00 Last year we had 1873 licensed
places, or one for every 1876 inhabitants, at
the same estimate Of population. But
estimating that there will be an increase of
but z places this year. making 14O in all, we
should certainly not suffer for liquid refresh
ments as there would be one place for every
1913 inhabitants without regard to sex or age.
How all these places are to be made to pay is
a question that puzzles many people. But
the fact that the number Of applicants has
increased shows that either the business must
pay or that hope which is said to spring
etenally in the human breast, buoys up the
spirits of those who are willing to put up
about 5000 in cash for the privilege. The
Brooks license law will very likely be under
consideration by the Legislature at this
session for amendment, and one of the most
practical and for the best interests of those
concerned as we'll as for the general public
would be one specifying how many inhabt.
