ADDITIONAL COURT NEWS.
John MaIey, of Mahanoy City, Convicted
of Serious Charges.

~ t@AN SNNA
John Maley, a young man of Mahanoy
City, was convicted before Judge Bechtel
yesterday on charges of assault and battery
with intent to ravish, statutory rape and
f. and b.
The prosecutrix in this case is Elizabeth
Daley, a comedy young girl, of Mahanoy
City, who was 10 years old on August 9,
1896. She appeared in court with her child.
She is not yet out of short frocks, wears
spring heel shoes and her hair hangs down
her back. The story Of the prosecutrix, in
substance, is hat one day while she was in
her sisters house, Maley came in through
the window, the doors being locked. Maley
made the attack on her and though she
struggled and screamed, he accomplished his
purpose. The defendant made a general
denial of ever having had such dealings with
Elizabeth Daley, and under severe cross-ex-
animation he persisted in his denial. He
worked for j. p. Garfield as a driver and
assistant salesman of the Swift Meat Com
pany. Many other witnesses were called,
among them being Mr.. Garfield and Mr..
Rowse, the latter being the bookkeeper Of
the company. They testified as to his good
reputation.
After an hours deliberation the jury re-
turned a verdict Of guilty of statutory rape
and f. and b. with the following recommen-
datiOn 1--WE recommend the defendant to
the mercy of the court for the reason that
in arriving at this verdict the jury would
nave been glad to get away from the charge
Of statutory rape, as the defendant is only a
boy, t%houghtless Of results, and certainly not
as answerable as if a man Of mature years"
A new trial will be asked for and the de
PENDANT is under 81 500 bail.
The case against II. J. Joyce, of Mahanoy
City, was postponed until the March term Of
court, owing TO illness in the defendants
family.
Judge Bechtel heard testimony several
hours yesterday in a case brought by John
Brown, of Mahanoy City, against three Of
his children for support. The children
named are Mrs. Jennie Bannan, of Delano ;
Mrs. Claude Brown, Of Lost Creek, and
Joseph Brown, Of Jefferson county. The
plaintiff is blind. He had plenty in earlier
days, but is poor now. An amicable settle
ment was reached whereby the children will
contribute to his support.
Stiney Rapuss was found guilty of a. and
b., preferred by Policeman Henry Goodman.
He was sentenced to pay a fine of 500 and
the costs.
Rev. Matulaitis, Of Minersville, charged
with assault and battery by Archie Brown,
was tried before Judge savidge. He was
found not guilty. The jury was out from
5 o'clock Thursday afternoon until 9 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The charge was that
the priest had choked Brown while the latter
was assisting in making arrests at a Polish
wedding.

EISENHOWER'S
EFFORT Falls.
Savidge Refuses to Grant a New
Trial.
ARREST OF JUDGMENT SECURED
The Condemned Man was Unmoved by the
Announcement and in Addressing the
Court Protested Innocence and
Justihcation-An Appeal
Has Been Taken.

Special. to EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsvILLU, Jan. l0.-Tneo5ore Eisen-
hover has been refused a new trial. Judge
Savidge gave the decision this morning and
the condemned man is now obliged 10 go to
the higher courts to fight for his life
Judge Savidge closed his work at the court
yesterday, but remained in Pottsvile until
this morning for the special purpose Of hav-
ing the condemned man brought before him
this morning to hear the result of his Honor's
deliberation ON the motion made by Congress
man Brumm for a new trial in bel alf of the
prisoner.
Promptly at ten o'clock Judge savidge
took his seat on the bench. Eisenhower and
his counsel and the District Attorney were
already in waiting. Under the circumstances
it was quito natural to expect that Essen
hover would betray some sign Of anxiety,
Impotence, or nervousness, but he did not.
The same cool, firm demeanor which char
a]cterized his behavior while he was on trial
before the jury last spring was present with
him this morning. He looked steadily at
the Judge aud when the latter opened his
remarks Eisenhower leaned slightly forward
in his seat, as if to better catch what was
being said.
His Honor said, 81 have given careful and
earnest consideration to the application for a
new trial in the case Of Theodore Essen
hover, convicted of the murder of John
Schwindt, at Shenandoah, Pa, last February,
and a written opinion is filed. The motion
is denied"
Not 2 muscle in EisenhOwer's face moved.
His gaze continued fixed upon the Judge for
a moment, and then he rested back in his
seat. A brief whispering with his counsel
followed, after which the latter informed
the court that the condemned man would
like to say a word. Eisenhower arose and
approached the bar in front of tho bench.
Ia a firm voice he said, 81 am innocent, and
from the evidence l now have l can prove it.
Any man in this court room would do the
same thing to protect the honor of himself
and family"
The court made no response 20 or com
ment upon what the prisoner had said and
counsel for Eisenhower arose and made a
motion for an arrest of judgment pending an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The motion
was granted and Eisenhower's fate is now in
the hands of the higher court. The prisoner
was escorted back to prison.

THE PROMISED REFORMS.
Early In February Spain VIII Publish
Royal Decree.

-
Early in February Spain WIN Publish a
Royal Decree.
MADRID, Jan. 16.-At a cabinet meet
ing yesterday, the queen regent presiding,
it was agreed to introduce reforms in the
Island of Cuba. A royal decree on the
subject will be published on the kings
fete day. Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Spanish premier, declares that absolutely
no negotiations are proceeding between
Spain and the United States on the sub
ject Of Cuba. He explained that he is ig-
norant of the source of the rumors, and
only desired to state that they are com
pletely unfounded. On the other hand, it
is declared that early in February the gov
eminent will publish a decree providing
for Cuban reforms, allowing as much au-
tonomy as the sovereign of Spain will
permit.
1t is evident that the government
wishes to indicate that it has acted spOn-
%taneously, even going beyond the powers
already voted by the cortes, which will
have to grant n bill of indemnity for the
new decree. The reforms will show how
far Spain is prepared to go in decent
realization without surrendering any
rights or prerogatives of the home gov
eminent and of the cortes, in which
both Cuba and Porto Rico will have due
representation. 1t will also be seen that
in the reform Of the tariff Spain is disposed
to make sacrifice compatible with the
needs Of the Cuban budget. More can
hardly be expected from q conservative
cabinet and Spaniards will anxiously
watch the effects Of this change Of policy
in tn. new world
The plan owes it's origin to Senior Cano-
vas, and il is n fOregOne conclusion that
the council of state will approve the re-
forms.

IRIS MITCHELL'S FATE.
Found Unconscious in Her sleeping Apart
ment This Afternoon.

hOunu UNCONSCIOUS IN Her nleepinB apart
ment This Afternoon.
Mrs. Ann Mitchell. an aged widow residing
on West Centre street, was found unconscious
in her bed at 1880 o'clock this afternoon,
suffering from sufocation of coal gas, DR.. w.
N. Stein was called, but after resorting to
heroic treatment he concluded that death was
inevitable.
Mrs. Mitchell occupied the basement of 304
West Centre street and lived alone. 1t is
divided into two apartments, one being used
as a small candy and grocery store and the
other as a bedroom. Each apartment has a
window on the Centre street side. There is
a kitchen range in the store and Mrs.
Mitchell usually left the connecting door
open in the winter to get the benefit Of the
heat from the range in her sleeping apart
ment.
The %neighbors remarked this morning that
Mrs. Mitchell was late in opening her store,
but as they knew the old lady had contracted
q severe cold a few days ago they CON
cluded that she was remaining in bed
later than usual to recuperate. When
the noon hour approached and Mrs. Mitchell
failed to make her appearance, or answer any
alarm, the neighbors became apprehensiye

place to see if there was anything wrong.
The window in the bedroom was forced open
by a young man named John Foley, who en-
tered the house and detected a strong odor Of
coal gas. Upon approaching the bed he found
Mrs. Mitchell unconscious. DIR. Stein was
then called and when he announced that he
could not revive the patient and her case was
hopeless Rev. II. f. O'Reilly, pastor of the
Annunciation church, was summoned and ad-
ministered to her the last rites Of the church.
Mrs. Mitchell is about sixty years Of age.
She is the mother of William Mitchell, in
side foreman at the Plank Ridge colliery ;
James Mitchell, Of town Mrs. Michael
Kelly, of Ashland Mrs. Ellen NcFadden, Of
Mt. Carmel Miss Annie Mitchell, of Phila-
delphia and John Mitchell, of Lincoln,
Illinois.
Mrs. Mitchell was alive at o'clock this
afternoon, but unconscious.

The MahanOY Plane shut down last even
ing for the annual %oYerhauling Of the ma
chinery which is necessary to keep it in
proper condition to handle the immense
volume of traffic passing over it. The sea-
son usually selected to do the work is in the
winter when the traffic is lightest and most
easily handled by other routes. Heretofore
the trade was usually handled over the Cor
don planes and the Little Schuylkill branch
to Port Clinton, but despite published as
sumptions that this would be the case the
officials are busily engaged making all ar
engagements to handle the business via Bear
Run Junction and the Pennsylvania railroad
to Frackville, and all coal traffic will COM
mence moving via that route on Monday
morning next. 1t is expected the repairs to
the plane will be completed in less than two
weeks, and no difficulty is expected in
handling the business over the short line.

AND
THE CUBANS.
The New Premier VIII Oppose Radical
Action.
CUBA SHOULD ACQUIESCE
In the Sweeping Reforms Promised by the
Spanish Government, Which Agree
to Give to the Island Almost In
dependent Government.

p1TTsBURG, Jan. 16.-The Dispatch says:
"The Cuban policy of the Mckinley adj
ministration will differ very little from
that which has been laid down by Presi-
lent Cleveland and his secretary of state.
1his statement is based on remarks made
to a reporter by the man who win be
premier Of the next administration, Sem
atOr John sherman, at the Union depot
last evening.
'Tbe veteran statesman was on his way
back to Washington from Canton, where
he had a conference with Mr.. McKin-
ley and had accepted the portfolio of state
in his cabinet, after stating that his posi-
ton in the next cabinet had been deter
mined. Senator Sherman said, in answer
TO a question; Il think the United States
government should not interfere with the
Cuban war, either to aid in its settlement
or do anything which would make a
peaceful government of the island a charge
on this country. I understand on high
authority that Prime Minister Canovas
has outlined a program of governmental
reforms which will be applied both in
Spain and in Cuba. These reforms will
give the Cubans practical autonomy and
will, 1 hope, settle the question
Senator sherman refused to discuss
the result in the Ohio senatorial field fol-
lowing his entry into the cabinet. He
claimed he does not know who will sue
coed him. He also claimed Ignorance Of
any other definite assignments in Presi-
dent-eleot McKinley's cabinet.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who
had accompanied Mr.. Sherman to Can
ton, said he had urged Mr.. Mckinley to
appoint Russell A. Alger, OF his state,
secretary of war.
Both the statesmen said a tariff bill
will be the first thing on the program
after the special session of congress has
been called. Sherman thinks the bill can

CANroN,O o. Jan. 16.-Ex-G Governor Long,
of Massachusetts, has not been rendered a
cabinet position. He is still a probability
and if he is invited it will be either for the
war or navy department, Governor Long
left for home last evening, and as he was
leaving the city said enough to warrant
the above conclusion. He came, he said,
at the invitation of Major Mckinley and
they talked over the cabinet question. He
was offered nothing, and declined to say
in positive terms that he would or would
not accept if given an opportunity. If he
was offered anything, he said, it would be
one of the portfolios named, He said New
England is almost sure to have a member
of the cabinet.

The b%ottling department of our hourishing
enterprise, the Columbia brewery, has been
improved with the addition of q Donnally
bottle Shooting machine, an entirely new
method for washing bottles. The machine
washes six bottles at one time, and makes
140 revolutions a minute. Instead of the
washing being done by brushes, shot is sub
stituted, which is a far better cleanser, as it
reaches every available space within the
bottles. This is the first machine Of its kind
this region, and is quite q novelty. 1t will
be put in operation in the early part of next

Lightning Tonsorialitx.

The many patrons of a certain First ward
barber are enjoying a laugh over the new
method he has discovered to relieve them of
a moustache, which he learned from his own
experience. The other day while engaged in
lighting a fire in the stove, on which he had
used the servant girls panacea, kerosene oil,
the flame suddenly shot into his face and re-
lieved him of all the hair he had over the
upper lip and slightly scorched his face, much
to his sorrow, as he had taken great pride in
it. Now he is being quoted as the lightning
tonsorialist.
