BEALE MAY GET NEW TRIAL
Court Grants Rule to Show Cause
why He Should Not-other
Court Matters.

After five days delberation, court
on Saturday granted rule for a new
trial in the case of Attorney George
w. Beale, charged with the embezzle-
ment Of 81, 500 of the Isaac Ellis estate,
which he held as executor for Mrs.
Esther Mead, sister Of the decedent'
The rule was made returnable Tues
day. Jan. 2. 1890.
The main reason assigned for a new
trial was that the court erred in not
presenting the evidence for the defen-
dant with the same force, clearness
and detail as was given the evidence
Of the commonwealth. 1t was also
contended that the evidence proved
that the alleged embezzled money did
not belong to the Ellis estate, but to
Mrs. Mead.
John A. Wood and Harry Lutz, con-
viCted of selling drugs without being
registered pharmacists, were sentenced
respectively to fines of $40 and SIS with

torney. Mr.. McCollum. 1t set forth
that he was intirm and that he was a
shown that the store is now and has
been for a long time managed by q
registered pharmacist.

SATURDAY EVENINGS FIRE
Dwelling House on Madison Avenu,
Partially Burned.

Fire broke out about o'clock Satur-

dwelling at S22 Monroe avenue, owned
by Mrs. Held. An alarm was
promptly turned in and the central city
companies responded.
The blaze, which had gained consId-

was extinguished by a 1udicious use
of the chemical engine. The lower
foor of the building was occupied by
Thomas II. Carroll while George De-
Long resided on the upper floor.
The entire damage to dwelling and
furniture is placed at about $500, and
is said to be entirely covered by in

On Saturday the Republicans of the
Fifth ward held caucus and the same
evening meeting Of citizens wd5 held
at Green Ridge, which decided to ask
A. Il. Stevens to become a candidate
for select council in that ward.
Richard II. Williams, select council
man from the Fifth ward, was re-
nominated at the Republican caucus
of Saturday afternoon, defeating
George B. Carson, his opponent, by a
majority of three votes. The friends
of Mr.. Carson dispute Mr.. Williams
majority and there is likely to be Il
contest for the office at the February
election. The dispute arose in the
Fourth district when 1t was dicov-
cred that three votes were cast for
Nj. Williams which also bore the
names of the candidate for the minor
offices in the First district.
BALLOTS SIT ASIDE.
When the vigllants discovered the
ballots they were set aside, but later
the board of officers decided to count
them. This gave Mr.. williams his ma
jority, he having received in the four
districts 457 to Mr.. Carson's asa votes.
Mr.. Carsons friends entered a protest,
claiming that inasmuch as the ballots
represented another district they
should be thrown out In the event
of this being done the result would be

much interest. The vote by districts

A ROSEBUD TEA.

Miss Marguerite Kathryn Beecher,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs W. j. Beecher,
entertained a number of her little
friends, Monday afternoon, at a party
in honor of her fourth birthday. The
tables were set under the trees and it
was an inviting and pretty sight when
the children were gathered about the
festive board. The table was decorated
with roses, but the children were most
deeply interested in the good things to
eat which had been prepared. The center
of attraction on the table was a hand
some cake presente by Mrs Barker, on
which were four candles, with the dates
1895 and 1899, and the word Birthday"
After supper the children gathered in the
house to zee the candles lighted, but
what they enjoyed the most was a piece
of the cake itself. All of the little folks
were given chance to erjoy themselves
in their own way, and it was a happy
looking company. A number of chill.
dren were prevented from attending on
account OF whooping cough. Those
present we're: Florence and Marguerite
Kathryn Beecher, Pauline Hall, Annie
Houlihan, Lloyd Barker, Leonard
Wright, George Stuart, Sadie Judson
and Hazel Hazen Smith.
