JOHN WALTZ WANTS
ANOTHER TRIAL.
Not Satisfied With the Verdict of
Murder in the Second Degree--At-
torney Stafford Makes Formal APP

Special to The Tribune.
Montrose, August 17.-Judge Searle
was apparently surprised at the ver-
dict of murder in the second degree
rendered in the case of Commonwealth
VS.. John Waltz. 1t is said that eleven
ballots were taken in the jury room.
The first ballot was for acquittal,
for murder in the first degree and
four for murder in the second degree.
The result of their deliberations was
a compromise undoubtedly. 1t is gen.
orally thought that Waltz will be
granted a new trial.
The prisoner was completely pros
trated and Deputy Sheriff Leonard
tenderly assisted him from the court
room.
The general opinion is that if Waltz
did kill Lemon he is guilty of murder
in the first degree, otherwise he is in
nocent
The Tribune said on Thursday that
upon the testimony of Charles Stanton
might hinge the result of the trial
This prediction was fulfilled, for he
testified of a quarrel which he heard
from rooms which he occupied above
in the same building. Upon his so
stating the jury determined evidently
that Waltz and Lemon had quarreled
and the former had killed him. 1t was
loop hole for them and perchance an
opportunity for compromise
Edison w. Stafford, attorney for John
Waltz, tday made application for new
trial. Judge Searle granted a rule re-
turnable during the present term of
court to show cause why he should
not have a new trial.

Bard, who shot himself in the head at

he shot himself. Meeting his sweet
heart in the hotel where both boarded

to go to his room in order that he might
be able to go to work in the morn
ing. Young Bard started upstairs. but
hadn't gone three steps when he
pulled n revolver and sent a bullet
crashing into his head in full sight
of the Mortified young woman. The
man was of good family. but had fig
ured in several sensational escapades
during the past year.

GENTLE HINT FOR HARRITY.
Lycoming Democrats Would BE Glad
to Accent His RESIGNATION,

Williamsport, Aug. 17.-At the Demo-
cratic county convention today Nathan
Brion was nominated for jury commits
sioner. The free silver wing ruled the
convention and among the resolution
was the following:
We call upon William F. Harrity to
resign the position which he now holds
as Democratic national committeeman
from Pennsylvania. He has declared
his antagonism to the principles Of
our party; he is no longer in sympathy
with our organization, and he should no
longer be permitted to participate in
our councils. We therefore instruct
our delegates to the state convention
to vote in favor of any resolution which
may be offered, and which shall provide
for filling the position of national COM
mitteeman by sincere and loyal DEM
ocrat.

GETTING HIS OWN GRAVE READY.
Little Left for Friends TO Do When
This Man Dies.

West Chester, Aug. lin antici-

He has just had deposited in his lot
in the Lafayette cemetery, adjoining

be so careful to have them right Mr.

Lord Tredegar, in declaring the arts
exhibition open, said he had much
pleasure in turning over what he con-
sidered was the first leaf of the book

regarded the arts section as being a

POOR TRAMP.

1t is a hard lot for a tramp with one
leg to wander about in quest of food
and lodging, and it is no bed of roses
nowadays for tramp with two legs to
get three meals at table and warm
bunk at night. The tramp am going
to tell you about had four legs, three
or more meals a day, and peach of a
place to doze upon in day time. At
night it gave exhibitions on the back
yard fence la song -and-dance artist.
1t was cat and my boarding mis-
tress called it "poor Tramp" though
1 never could see where the poor came
in.
1 was requested to change my board
ing-house for reasons which 1 choose
not to explain and as I gathered up
my brakeman's trunk in Boston
daily Globe I had the sum of So pieces,
a dirty shirt and a pack of cards. 1t
required no express wagon to move
and as I had a lead ten-cent piece
worked it onto green street-car con-
ductor and got good nickel in return.
AS I alighted in the neighborhood of
my new boarding-house I bought a
cigar for appearance sake.

SUNLIGHT.
Acoustic Principles of Vibrations as
Demonstrated in Light and Sound.

AS we look around us on the beauties
of nature we are inspired by the lavish
magniticence of color in which she has
painted our fair abode. The question
which naturally arises in our mind,
"from whence come these beautiful
colors?" is what l shall endeavor to
answer in brief, avoiding, as much as
possible, all technical terms.
In order to be thoroughly understood
it will be necessary to give a brief
analysis of the acoustics of vibrations,
as light and color are the visible pro-
ducts of vibrations emanating from
the sun.
Musical tones are produced by vibra-
tions of ether originating in the tightly
drawn string of the stringed instru-
ments, and the reed in wind instru-
ments. No matter what the means
used to produce given note, whether
the string of violin or piano; the reed
OF the organ, clarionet or other wind
instrument, or the human voice, the
hu"UCI VI IdClOIlS pcI ScCOIlu Is Uuc
same.
The chord is produced by strings or
reeds vibrating in harmony with each
other. To make the proposition clear
let US take 1870 vibrations per second as
key note. 800 or just twice as many
vibrations will give an octave higher.
Now if we take two strings and bring
them to the required tension so that
they will, when struck, vibrate at the
rates of 1870 and 800 per second, respec-
lively, they will produce single tone.
The reason is, the string tuned to $50
will make one vibration that falls sim.
ultaneously with the string tuned to
18O, and one vibration between.
The medlant and dominant, as re.
CARDS their relations with each other
and with the keynote are more CON-

HER MOTHER WAS SICK,

She slipped so quietly into the office
at the police barracks last night that
no one knew she was standing in front
of the station sergeant's desk until she
spoke:
"Mister, will you please tell me if my
father is in here?"
The station sergeant looked at her
curiously over his grim eyeglasses and
the patrolmen present gathered about
her, such a queer little figure she was.
A soiled calico dress hung limp about
the bare legs, and her yellow, matted
hair was stranger to the comb. She
was small, not more than seven, and
she was pale and thin; about the only
features that appeared alive were the
eyes, deep.set, black beads that flashed
with feverish light.
The station sergeant looked on the
book for the name she gave and found
it. 1t was familiar name, and had
been there many times before, and al
ways for the same old charge, drunk
enness.
II wouldn't a come," the child said
half apologetically, "if my mother
hadn't a been sick. And she cries so
when he is in the calaboose. Eff you
let him go home fur the night, we will
make him come to court all right in
the morning"
The turnkey found the old drunkard
as near sober as he ever got to be, and
the little girl was allowed to take him
home to her sick mother. AS the
strange pair turned to leave the office,
it was noticed that the child had blue
mark on her left cheek. A policeman
stopped her and asked what had made
the scar
"He did it, the last time he was So"
she whispered in frightened way.
"But he won't do it tonight" she con-
tinued hurriedly, "because mother is
sick. ."-Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.

Perhaps no form of architecture is

a high finish; when it becomes a de-

fore our minds eye, for the pleasure it
affords.
In anticipating, we always form an
ideal, lofty as our natures are lofty,
beautiful in the measure we admire
the beautiful. In anticipation we
nearly always experience greater pleas
ure than in the realization, for the
reason that our ideal is usually in
excess of the real; and thus we are dis
appointed in the realization.
You have heard persons spoken of
as dreamers, you probably know GER
tain people as such. You say they
have day dreams, etc. But possibly
were the truth known, you would find
that these persons derive more real
pleasure from the rehearsing of their
lofty visions, than the average man
finds in the prosy realities of life.
History will bear out the statement,
that it has been the dreamers, the
idealists, the cranks, as they are often
called, who have been the advance
agents of civilization. Without an ideal
in excess of present realities, advance
ment in civilization, in art, in science,
would be at an end. No architect ever
builded, no artist ever pictured, no
writer ever wrote SO we'll, but that he
felt he had not attained the ideal
mirrOred in his soul; and thus is left
the incentive to try again. 1t is the
ideal, that mystic mirage, so plainly
visible in the far distance, yet, so unat-
tainable, that incites the world to better
things.
The statesman, the business man,
the professional man and the day
laborer each have pictured somewhere
in the dim future, an ideal for which
they labor and wait; while hope, ever
ready, lends encouragement by the way.
Hope on, weary soul, hope on. and
though the bright future for which you
sigh, may be only dimly visible upon
the hazy horizon, hope on. Have an
ideal. Aim high. glitch your wagon
