Late on Friday night the jury in the
trial Of Gregoria Martini for the murder
of Andrew Albertni at Beaver Meadow,
returned verdict of not guilty. The
court room was crowded, the assemblage
being gathered by the tollng of the bell
in the court house tower. The an
nouncement of the verdict brough forth
loud cheers.
The crime was committed on thenight
of July %, 1897. Albertini and Martini
had quarreled at drinking place. Mar
TIM went home and armed himself with
gun expecting to go to CoXe's, a few
miles distant. Albertini saw him and
attacked him on the street. There were
no caps on the gun. Martini not being
able to shoot Drained his aSsailant, break
ing the stock from the gun in so doing.
Self-defense was the plea.

Referee f. w. Wheaton rendered an
important decision on Thursday after
noon. Jail Warden Boland had a con-
tract with the county commissioners by
the terms of which he was to receive 30
cents day for feeding the prisoners in
the county jail County Controller
Lloyd had not been in the Office long
until he objected to the payment of so
large an amount.
He finally refused to countersign the
warden's bills, claiming that Schuylklll
county paid only s cents u day for feed
it's prisoners and that Luzerne county
should pay no more. 1t was finally
agreed to submit the matter to arbitra-
tion. Mr.. Wheaton was selected as the
referee.
The arbitrator says the contract be-
tween the warden and the commissions
ers is a fair one, and therefore binding
or in other words the warden is entitled
to 30 cents day for feeding all
prisoners. 1t Is understood that Con
troller Lloyd will appeal from the decl-
sion.

dist church by Captain Branston, whose
success in arousing considerable reli-
gious enthusams in the community has
been noted in these columns. His sub
iect will be From the Cider Barrel to
the Drunkard's Grave" and with the
aid Of Il large chart he will illustrate the

old man, showing the last resting place
of the drunkard with wife and family
weeping over his sad fate.
The captains thirty years experience
in the West, leading the life of a
drunkard and gambler. will enable him
to give his hearers more vivid picture

The Tommy Shearer Company con-
Guided its weeks engagement here on
Saturday evening. The audiences were
not quite so large the latter part of the
week as on the first three nights. The
performances and specialties were good,
considering the admission, but the ridic-
ulous capers and nonsensical sayings
of MIR. Shearer disgusted all who appre-
ciate natural comedy and detest strained
efforts to amuSe.
Bv orders of the star all persons known
to be connected with the TRIBUNE were
denied admission to the opera house
since our last issue, and from the stage
on Thursday evening Shearer took ex-
ceptions to our criticism Of his acting.
In set speech, which he finds necessary
to repeat in every town where there
exists paper that cannot be bribed
with his passes, he said the author OF
the paragraph was "neither intelligent
or educated and not in my class nor is
he my equal" This language requires
no reply
A member of Mr.. Shearers company
has informed the TRIBUNE that his out
break was one OF his regular weekly
spasms. On December 22 the Shamokin
Dispatch incurred his enmity by praising
others of the company and falling to
flatter his vanity: on January the Ash
land Record gave him a plain talk on
