PRIMITIVE HABITS OF LIFE.

The masses of the people In these isolated noun
tain regions Of Kentucky live In the primitive
fashion. In fact. they have been apty called

this was the day set for the trial OF
w. r. Cotter. and directed Clerk smith
to call the roll OF jurors. Upon the call
being made an answered to their
names excepting Henry A. Miller
Henry G. MdLear, S. NJ Knox, William
r. Brinckley and James j. Ross. Sen
ator Higgins then asked that che
names OF his witnesses be called, and
when the name Of William Anderson
was read out by Mr.. Smith. he failed to
respond. Counsel for the defendant
then requested postponement Of IN,
case until the arrival Of Mr.. Anderson
claiming that he was most Important
witness for the defense, and that his
testimony was necessary TO meet Ger
tain allegations made by the govern
ment.
Judge Bradford announced that N
had received word that Mr.. Andersen
was seriously sd with typhoid fever
and Il was impossible to state positive
ly when he would recover sufficiently
If at all, to attend court.
1t was important that the cas-
should go on at once, and he suggeste,
that Mr.. Higgins should make affidavi
of what he intended TO prove and holl
a consultation with Mr. Vandegrifi
when possibly some satisfactory ar
rangement could be made or perhap
the district attorney would admit thos
facts that the defendant expected &
prove by Anderson's testimony
Mr.. Higgins insisted upon the i'm
pOrtance Of the absent witnesses testi
mony. stating that many letters ma
passed between Boggs and Anderso
which had a great bearing on the gull
or the innocence OF his client. Nj
VandegIift stated that he failed to Sc
the bearing of any communication
passing between Anderson and Bogg
cn the entire case, and added that h
was wiMng to eliminate the witness
testimony.
Acting upon the suggestion of Jude
Bradford, Mr.. Higgins and his clie1
retired in order to prepare an affidav
as to the Importance Of Mr.. Anderson
testimony. After remaining out of th
court room for a short time, Commil
sioner Smith was sent for and II

deacon; Francis O'Donnell, of Drifton,

The state convention of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
came to sensational end shortly before
noon on Thursday. The national or
ganization has revoked the state charter,
after preferring charges of insubor-
dination. Deputy National Councillor
Robert Ogle, OF Baltimore, put an end
to the wrangle which had been going on
between the two factions for two days,
and divested the state organization of
all power to do business. There had
been lively war waged among the
delegates over the national per capital
tax, and the climax was reached as
above stated.
The state council is an incorporated
body and can operate under the title
of the Junior Order United American
Mechanics without consulting the ma
tional council, and as the Pennsylvania
membership comprises nearly two-thrds
of the whole national body it is ques-
tion in their minds whether it is not ad-
yisable to remain independent.
