Judge George S. Purdy, of Honesdale,
yesterday transmitted an opinion con-
tanning a decree awarding a new trial
in the case of T.. ii. Shurtlcff against
Thomas Davis, which was tried before
him the week before In common pleas.
1t Is a suit brought by Mr.. Shurtlef
to recover $1,000 for professional SER
vices performed for the defendant in
the Russell ejectment suit, covering u
period of six years. The defendant al
leges that the fee was cxorbitant and
besides a contingent one and that, al
though he won the case. he has not
yet realized on the Judgment. The jury
accepted this view of the case and
awarded the defendant a verdict.
In granting a new trial Judge Purdy
says;
"It is true that the defendant ad-
mitted that the plaintiffs claim OF
$4,000 for services was asserted to by
him, and, in the charge to the jury the
full question as to the fee being estab-
lished was eliminated from the case,
as to any defense being shown as far
as we could do so. And had the jury
returned a special verdict, stating the
ground of their finding, there would
would seem to be no cause for
q retrial This we should have in
structed the jury to do But the ver-
dict being a general one, for the defen-
dant, we are not certain that d judg-
ment on it would NOT be conclusive
against the plaintiff In a subsequent
action.

LOOMS AT COUNTY JAIL.
Prisoners Will Be Put to Work Max.
ing Carpet and Rough Cloth--Re.
port Of Special Committee.

After the consideration OF the report
OF the special committee appointed to
investigate the systems for employing
prisoners in county iails in various
counties of the state, the local prison
board has decided to proceed at once
to install a weaving establishment at
the I.ackawanna county Jail. Two
looms for the manufacture Ct rag car
pet and for weaving rough cloth
will be set up at first as an experiment.
County Commissioners S. W. and Giles
Roberts were directed to investigate
and report upon the best Icons for the
purpose. The board will meet again
December 16.
The report of the special committee
was as follows:
To the chairman and members of the
prison board
The committee appointed by the
chairman to visit neighboring counties
and study the methods Of employing
male prisoners, respectfully submit the
following report:
We first visited the prison at Potts.
vile, Schuylkill county, and there we
found that they employed their prison
ers inside of the Jail only, making rag
and ingram carpet, socks and clothing
for the inmates of the prison. We
found all the work done by hand-powpr
machinery, of which the cost Is ~,"1il.
the three knitting machines cost about
$50 apiece, and the weavI macnInr ;
cost about $50 each. They employ ten
per cent. of the number in the prison.
A days work for each prisoner MAX
ing socks is two dozen, for which til ay
receive pront of seven cents per dozen
after paying for all material used.
For the rag carpet they receive forty
five, fifty and fifty-five cents per yard,
which leaves them net profit of five
cents per yard. They employ weaver
at an expense of $50 per month, who
is called superintendent OF the indus
trial department. Finding nothing
further of interest, we went to Read
ing, Berks county. where we found
about the same method used for cm-
ploying prisoners as at Pottsville.
Then we went to Allentown, Lehigh
county, finding nothing new, only the
management.
In the year 1898 they had an aver
age of seventy-four prisoners. The pro-
| ducts of the industrial department was
2,72S yards of rag carpet and 1000 dozen
socks, which was sold to the home
market at a profit above all expenses,
including superintending of the work
and material, repairs to machinery, etc,
of s6l216. Having concluded our visit
here, we went to Sunbury, Northum-
berland county. Here we found about
the same work done as in the other
county prisons.
We fourd nothing of interest in these
counties In regard to road work, and
no one seemed to know of any counties
| that are working their prisoners on the
roads. Signed by
S. w. Roberts,
John Demuth,
| William T, Simpson.

Will of Joseph Chase.

The will of Joseph Chase, late oe
Benton township, was yesterday ad-
mitted to probate and letters te5ta-
mentary granted TO his son, Aaron Au-

Six Pleas of Guilty.

When court opened yesterday morn
ing six of the defendants whose cases
were set down on the first days list
asked to be permitted to plead guilty.
Five of them were granted the per-
mission.
Owen Moran, who has been before
court on some previous occasions for
petty offenses, plead guilty of the
charges of burglary and obstructiug
the execution of a legal process. On
Sept. IS he entered the apartments of
Joseph Newschek, who lived upstairs in
the house of Moran's mother on
Hampton street, and distracted SO
from the trousers of the tenant. When
Constable John Lance attempted to ar
rest him a few days later he assaulted
the officer, took his revolver away from
him and gave him a severe trouncng
Judge Edwards was moved by Moran's
promise to reform and let him off with
six months in the county Jail.
John Burke was drunk on Oct. and
tried to get away with an overcoat
and suit of clothes that were displayed
on a dummy in front of Collins cloth
ing store on Lackawanna avenGe. He
was given thirty days in the county
Jail.
George A. Richards, charged by MIS-.
A. Mahon with dcfrauding a board
bill. admitted his guilt and tried to ex-
( cuse it on the ground of poverty. As
he had been in jail six weeks the judge
thought he had been sufficiently pun
ished and allowed him to go free
Alex Mcdonnell, upon admitting Shat
he stole three lubricators and a brass
valve from James Flynn, of Provi.
dence by whom he was employed as
a driver, was sent up for sixty days.
He said he was drunk when ne COM
mtted the deed.
Michael White, of Robi7Sol street,
admitted the truth of the charge that
he stole nine chickens from John Pit
visch, on Nov. 10 last. In 2onsdera-
tion of the fact that he hal been in
Jail for three weeks and that he was
evidently very penitent, he was left off
with ten days.
+. w. Miller, of Lafayette street,
who was arrested on two different oc-
casions for receiving stolen goods, plead
guilty, but accompanied the plea with
the claim that he did not know the
goods were stolen. He says he bought
the stolen goods-carpenter tOols-from
Sam Morrison and a man named Nor
gans, paying the former s2.b0 for one
set and the latter SO for another set.
Court refused to accept his plea Of
guilty and directed that he stand trial,
to give him an opportunity of proving
that he did not know the goods were
stolen.
In the afternoon when Miller was
| called for trial before Judge Biddle in
| court room No, he again plead guilty,
this time without any qualhca tons.
Judge Blddle sentenced him to pay u
fne of 6 cents and spend ninety days
In the council Jail on each charge. the
terms to run concurrent and credit to
