Ex-Representative Griner, convicted
on Saturday Of manslaughter, was SEN
fenced to the maximum penalty
OF twelve years on Tuesday by
Judge Woodward. In pronouncing the
sentence the judge said 1.-The crime
was horrible one. A helpless and un-
protected woman was shot to death, and
after lfc was extinct you shot her again.
l find nothing to mitigate the extreme
sentence Of the law, which is that you
pay fine Of $500 and undergo imprison-
ment in solitary confinement at labor in
the penitentiary for twelve years. -
Griner was cool and collected, and after
ward expressed his satisfaction with the
trial and sentence.

A disastrous fire occurred at McAdoo
early Tuesday morning. The large busi-
ness block owned by Alex Potochney, a
brother of Michael Potochney, of Free
land, was totally destroyed and large
supply OF goods went up in smoke. The
fire is supposed to have started in the
basement of the building, where John
Lesko conducted bottling establish
ment. 1t soon spread through the top
stories and the place was doomed. On
the one side of the first floor, over the
botting shop, Alex Potochney conducted
a whosesale liquor store and in the other
was clothing store.
Close to the burning building was
Mehalshick's hall and Mike Timko's
meat market to the west aud the Kellar,
Rogers aud Boyle and other buildings on
the north and east, all of which had to
be sprayed with water quite frequently
to prevent them from getting on fire.
Potochney places his loss on the build
ing at $1,000; clothing store, $1,000;
liquors, 5000; furniture, $500. Lcsko
fixes his loss at $500, nearly all of which
is covered by insurance. The origin of
the fire Is unknown.

Stormy Legislative Convention.

Tho delegates of the fifth legislative
district met in convention at Avoca on
Monday. Shortly after the meeting
was called to order the fighting element
pressed the nomination of their candi-
date for chairman, and Patrick Joyce,
one of tho delegates, jumped on the
platform and presented motion, de-
claring his friend Patrick Finn, chair
man. DIR. Burge, another delegate,
objected and was roughly handled
Finn mounted the platform and pro-
claimed himself chairman, and Joyce, it
is said, proceeded to throw Chairman
Fitzsimmons from the chair.
Another Finn man struck at the pros
trate chairman, but missed him, and
struck Joyce full in the face with pair
of brass knuckles, telling him. Fitz-
simmons was pushed through the win
dow, but his men rushed to his rescue
with chairs, tablelegs and other handy
weapons and succeeded in saving him.
Burgess Healy and five constables at
tempted to quell the disturbances, but
they were swept away and thrown bodily
out of the hall.
In the afternoon another fight occur
red, being started by man abusing
Chairman Fitzsimmons, whereupon the
crowd took sides and the battle waged
merriy. The scenery on the stage,
windows and the entire third floor of
the building were completely demolish-
ed. Among the injured is Burgess
Healy, who, in his endcavors to quell
the disturbance, was badly bruised.
In the end NJ. J. Tighe was nominated
as the candidate for the legislature.
