Enterprise hall in Jermyn was filled
with large audience last night to hear
the issues of the campaign treated by
Hon. jeremiah Snyder, of LehiEh; Hon.
John Il. Reynolds, of Carbrudale; At
torney George ID. Taylor ana Layton
Schoch, of this city.
Mr.. Schoch was attired in the I<ark
uniform that he wore in Porto Rico and
aroused much enthusiasm. John Prtch-
ard, of Jermyn, was chairman of the
meeting.
Hon. John +. Reynolds was the first
speaker. He discussed the principles Of
the two parties and, as for himself, Is
willing to stand or fall by his record.
Attorney George d. Taylor referred to
the Democratic party as having no poll
icy beyond the greed for Office. Their
platform is based on the alleged dis
sensions in the Republican party. They
are after reform and are desirous of
reforming everybody but themselves.
The speaker of the evening was Hon.
Jere Snyder, of Lehigh. He advocat-
ed the return of all the present mem
bers of congress to uphold President
McKinley's war policy. He dwelt upon
the return of industrial prosperity un-
der Mckinley and the opening Of glass
factories and other Industries and tin
mills on the foundation stones OF the
ruins left by Democracy. Under Har-
rlson the country reached the flood
tide Of prosperity: the reverse of this
came when Cleveland succeeded to the
presidency; and the grateful return
again to the prosperous condition came
with Mckinley.
Mr.. Snyder held that national issues
are paramount in this campaign. He
said the best way to uphold the admin
istration is to elect Stone governor
and the rest of the state ticket. He
treated DR.. Swallows candidacy as a
misguided movement by man who be-
lieves he is right.
Layton NJ. Schoch spoke on the state
issues and comparative state records
of both parties. The recent Democrat
ic state convention by it's reputation
of the Chicago platform, showing a
seeming desire to make that the issue
in the campaign was a subterfuge. He
went into the records of both parties
in national history and concluded by
advising them to vote as the Kentucky
colonel takes his whiskey, straight.
The Republican party had a glorious
war record. he said, not to speak of It's
commercial and industrial fostering
hand

JUROR SERVED TWICE.
Application for New Trial Made in
Kenny Murder Case-Number of
Irregularities Alleged by De-
fendant's Attorneys.

Application for q new trial in the
Kenny murder case was made yestcr-
day by the convicted mans counsel,
Attorneys John j. Murphy, J. j. Man
ming and NJ. F. Conry.
Kenny, it will be remembered was
convicted last Saturday of man.
slaughter for killing Martin Healey,
in Archibald, in April last The jury
stood seven for acquitted, two for
manslaughter. one for second degree
and one for first degree on the first
ballot and remained this way from
Thursday until Saturday, when after
being twice told they would have to
stay together until they agreed they
compromised or a verdict of man
slaughter.
One of the reasons assigned for
new trial is that q talesman selected
as one Of the jurors in the case, Viii.
liam II. Daniels. also served as a
talesman the preceding week, all of
which it is contended is contrary to
the act of 1854. against a man serving
as a juror more than once in a year.
1t is also claimed that contrary to
law, the jurors on three different oC-
casons were permitted to separate,
ed to leave the court room in the GUS
tody of tipstaff while the others re-
mained in the box.
Among the other reasons assigned is
one to the effect that Judge Gunster's
language was too strong in his in
structions regarding the inability of
the court to release the jury before
it had agreed; that it tended to CO.
also taken To the statement of the
Assistant District Attorney Thomas in
his closing address that Kenny lay in
wait for Healey with a knife, which
was unwarranted by the evidence it
is alleged, and calculated to affect the
minds of the jury.
The jury, it is also held. disobeyed
the Injunction contained in the fifth
proposition of law, suggested by the
defense and affirmed by court, that if
any juror had a reasonable doubt as to
the guilt of the defendant he should
not forsake his opinion out OF defer
ence to the opinion of the other jurors.
The general allegation is also made
that the verdict was contrary to the
law, the evidence, the charge of the
court and propositions of the defense
affirmed by the court.
Judge Love, it is expected, will come
up some day next week to hear the
arguments.

The efforts of the prosecution in the
Kelly Impeachment proceedings, yes
tcrday, were bent mainly on the pro-
duction of evidence tending to show
that Alderman Kelly was guilty of
multiplying cases and charging ille-
gal fees.
An Italian peanut vender narned
Patrick Cavino, alias Quinn, appeared
on the FIRST transcript considered, as
defendant in a case OF larceny prose-
cuted by an Arab peddler named
George O'Brien. The transcript
charged for nine oaths, two subpoe-
mas and S1.40 for mileage at the rate
of ten cents a mile. Cavlno went on
the stand and testified that only three
witnesses were sworn in the case, that
he took out no subpoenas whatever
and that the fourteen miles travel
charged for by the constable was ex-
orbitant even if the subpoenas were
served, as he and his witnesses all
live in the immediate neighborhood of
the alderman's office.
CAVINO'S TESTIMONY.
The next transcript taken up was
one in which Cavino is made to ap-
pear as prosecuting his father-in-law
Nicola Wider, for the larceny of fur
niture. Cavino swore he never brought
such q case in Alderman Kelly's Of
flee. He had an assault and battery
case there against his father-in-law
but it was settled in the presence of
the alderman. Tony Shndella, who is
named on the transcript as bondsman
for Wider, swore he never went bail
for anybody. and further couldn't, be-
cause he owns no property.
In the case of Ben Arnovitz against
YalskC Figular, in which the theft
of a. shirt is charged, evidence was
adduced to show that the number of
oaths alleged on the transcript TO have
been administered by the alderman
was largely in excess of the actual
number of witnesses sworn. 1t was
further alleged in this case that the
alderman permitted the parties to eff
feet a settlement, which would be
compounding felony. Arnovitz, how
ever, on the advice of his counsel,
! George ID. Taylor, refused to say
whether or not the case was settled
as he would by answering in the
affirmative incriminate himself. Jacob
Elme. the bondsman for Figular, ad-
mitted that he owned no real estate.
JOHNSON ON THE STAND.
Ben Johnson, a colored cabman, was
called to throw some light on the
transcript on which he appears as
prosecutor of a larceny case against
John Heiner. 1t was claimed by the
alderman's accusers that the case was
proven TO be a civil one, yet he sent it
in to the grand jury. Mr.. Johnson,
however, gave testimony that tended
to eXonerate the alderman. An effort
was also made to show that more
witnesses were charged for than were
| sworn.
Adjournment was made until next
Tuesday. The question as to whether
or not the defendant can be compell-
ed to produce the papers and records
| of his Office will be argued before
Judge Archibald in the meantime.

DEATH OF JOHN SHERIDAN.
Verdict Rendered by the Coroner's
Jury Last Night.

Further testimony was heard last
night by the cororer's jury investigat-
ing the death of John Sheridan, the
boy who met with fatal injuries by
falling from the roof of the Pine Brook
breaker on Oct. II. None of the wit
nesses gave any additional particulars.
Attorney John r. Edwards was pres
ent in the interest Of John Sheridan,
the boys father. Mine Inspector
Prytherch was also present.
Coroner Longstrect called Sheridan
to the stand and he testified that Mr..
Snyder, the breaker boss, said to him
the evening of the 18th: Mr.. Sheri-
dan, don't blame me for putting him
outside to clean these windows. 1t
was my orders to do So"
John Barrett, Michael Davis and
Michael Murray We're called as wit
nesses. They happened to be standing
in the doorway Of Barrett's livery
stable ard saw Sheridan tumbling
down the roof, but further than that
they knew nothing relevant to the
case. Patrick Monaghan, Patrick
Kirkwood, Lawrence Barrett and
Harry Cook We're called to testify, but
a few preliminary questions We're suf-
flcient to bring out the fact that they
had no evidence TO give. The jury
found the following verdict:
We find that John Sheridan came to his
death on the afternoon Of Oct. a, 1898, by
falling from the roof of the Pine Brook
breaker of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company, while engaged in the act OF
cleaning windows.
The said John Sheridan having slipped
in some unaccountable manner while
working on the outside of the window
which from the evidence at hand appears
to be due to the slippery condition Of the
roof We find further that the company
provided poles for the cleaning Of the
windows which appear to make It TN
necessary for those engaged in such work
to so outside on the roof
