FROM TWO CONVENTIONS.
Postoffice Employees Hear from Their
Delegates.

The postoffice employees yesterday
received letters from the local dele
gates attending the carriers conven-
tion at Detroit and the clerks conven-
tion at Atlantic City.
Letter Carrier John r. Thomas,
writing from Detroit, says that the ar
rangements there for the entertain
mcnt of the delegates, while elaborate,
do not compare with those at the
Scranton convention, and the Scran-
ton men are receiving assurances on
all sides that the Scranton conven-
tion was the best the association ever
held from every point of view.
c. j. Nehr the clerks delegate to
Atlantic City, writes that they are
being royalty entertained and that he
has been honored with a place on two
of the most important committees,
credentials and revision of classical
tion bill.

SNYDER Allowed a New Trial.

On the strength of a technical err
ror in the trial proceedings, Judge III.
X. Weand, of the Thirty eight judi
cial district. yesterday granted a new
trial in the case of the commonwealth
against F. II. Snyder, charged by Mrs.
]. S. Smith, of Waverly, with embez-
element.
Snyder was agent for Mrs. Smith in
the sale of some building lots in
Moosic. He failed to account for $50
that he had collected and was ar
rested for embezzlement. He set up
a counter claim for commissions ow-
ing and compensation for extra work,
such as laying out a road through the
plot and the like, but the presentation
of letters in which he acknowledged
the shortage, convinced the jury that
he had misappropriated the funds In
question and was found guilty. This
was in February, 1899.
His attorney, r. II. Holgate, moved
for an arrest of judgment and ap-
piled for new trial, alleging various
errors, among them that the entry of
the plea of the defendant was irregu-
lar. 1t was this that moved the judge
to grant a new trial. The opinion in
which the motion is sustained follows:
The record in this case shows that jury was
sworn before plea entered; that after the jury
was impanelled and sworn, the defendant stood
mute and that the court then directed the plea
OF not guilty to be entered for him.
"The indictment shows on its face defendant
plead not guilty" which is inconsistent with the
entry by the court As there was no Ioindcr by
the district attorney that endorsement would
appear to be incorrect.
"without expressing any opinion as to the
merits of the case, criticising the correctness
Of the record, we think the safer plan is TO
grant a new trial.
"And now, September 4, 1900, the motion for a
new trial is sustained and new trial granted
"By the court

A WONDERFUL CURE OF

Had Almost Given UP, but Was
Brought Back to Perfect Health
by Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

READ HIS EDITORIAL.
From the Times, Hillstille, Va.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought l was past being
cured. / had spent much time and
money and suffered so much misery
that had almost decided to give up
all hopes of recovery and await the
result, but noticing the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and also some tes-
timonials stating how some wonderful
cures had been wrought by this reme-
dy, / decided to try IL. After taking
a few doses was entirely we'll of that
trouble, and / wish to say further to
my readers and sufferers that
am hale and hearty man today

COYNE HEARING.

Coyne was given a hearing at 3
o'clock Yesterday afternoon by Mayor
Noir and proved very defiant. Several
complaints have been made about his
place ard Mayor Moir therefore made
his fine one of the largest yet i'm
posed, SIS and the costs. On the fine
being announced, Coyne's bartender,
who was present did the magnani-
nous. and with a superb Damon and
Pythias air, cried out: You can't
arrest him. 1t was l who sold the
beer!"
"Oh. was it," Mayor Moir answered
quickly, well We'll have to get out
warrant for you, too"
Coyne then asked that he be allowed
to put some witnesses on the stand
to testify in his favor but his honor
suavely informed him that 1t was not
| customary in summary conviction
cases, at which Coyne disgustedly re-
marked. This is nice sort of a
court" and then declared that he
would take an appeal.
The latest move in the crusade was
made known yesterday when it was
announced that District Attorney
Jones will now follow up the mayors
summary convictions and hold the
| speakeasy proprietors for the grand
| jury. Several warrants have already
| been issued at the instance of County
| Detective Leyshon and the work will
| be continued with daily arrests.
The fact that most of the speak
easy proprietors arrested and ar
raigned before Mayor Moir. admit
their guilt is, in itself, sufficient evil
dence to hold them for the grand
jury.
DISPLAYING GREAT ENERGY.
The Mems union is pursuing the
work of roofing out the tipping
| houses with redoubled energy, Mayor
Moir's crusade is daily bearing fruit
| and now that the county officials also
| take a hand, it looks as though the
days remaining for the unlicensed sa-
| loonkeeper in Lackawanna county are
| surely numbered.
Max Rontiski, of Keyser avenue
was held in $500 bail by Alderman
| Moses, of West Scranton, yesterday on
the charge of selling without a license
| preferred by County Detective Ley
shon. On entering the alderman's Of
flee, Rontiski dug his hand into his
| jeans and, producing a big wad OF
bills. remarked with a smile, M pay
fine"
Not in this case" retorted Detec-
tive Leyshon, but Rontiski insisted or
paying at once, and it took a good
deal of persuasion to convince him
of the fact that it was not sum-
mary conviction that he was under,
| going.
