DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Joe Pete to be Hanged on Friday, the
4th Day of May.

AT the session of the District Court
held in Genoa last Friday the follow
ing business was transacted:
The minutes of the previous session
were read, and amended to conform to
the facts, and approved by the court.
In the matter of the estate of Fred
erick A. Hussman, deceased, the final
account and accompanying report of
the Administrative, Mrs. Johanna l.
Hussman, came on regularly to be
heard, and it appearing to the court
that due notice of the hearing had been
given and that no objections or ex-
captions had been made or filed in OPP
position thereto, and the attorney for
the minor heirs consenting, the said
account was approved as rendered and
the report confirmed.
In the case of the State of Nevada
vs.. Joe Pete, (the defendant having
been convicted of murder in the first
degree and this being the time for pass
ing sentence), the defendant was in
court and his attorney moved for a
new trial of the case, upon the grounds
that the verdict of the jury was against
the law, and contrary to, and unsup-
ported by the evidence in the case;
and further by reason of the irregular
ity and misconduct of the jury in sep
arating and leaving the custody of the
Sheriff in charge, contrary to law and
the admonition of the court. Upon
the first ground counsel for defendant
submitted the motion without argu-
ment upon the evidence, but the
second ground of motion was argued
orally by counsel for defendant and by
counsel for the State, the arguments
being based on affidavits and counter
affidavits. At the conclusing of the
arguments the court denied the mo-
ton, declaring that the showing was
insufficient to warrant a clogging of
the wheels of justice. Whereupon the
defendant, Joe Pete, was ordered to
stand up and receive his sentence, and
was asked repeatedly by the court if
he had anything further to show why
sentence of death should not be passed
upon him, but no further showing was
made or attempted on the part of the
defendant.
The court, after lengthy preliminary
remarks reviewing the proceedings
during the trial, proceeded to pro-
nounce sentence of death upon the
defendant, in accordance with the ver-
dict of the jury, adjudging that the de-
| fendant should suffer the death pen
atty, by being hanged by the neck
until he is dead, by the Sheriff of Doug
las county on the 4th day of May, 1900.
The court then proceeded to try,
without jury, the case of Dora Rohlfs
VS.. Adolph Rohlfs, an action for di-
vorce The trial occupied the re-
mainder of the day and a portion OF
the night, resulting in a finding and
Judgment by the court that the mar
riage between plaintiff and defendant
be dissolved; that plaintiff have the
custody of their 15-months- old child,
George, but not to remove the child
out of the State; that defendant have
the right to visit the child at all sea-
sonable times, and that defendant pay
into court for the plaintiff $500, and
pay the costs of court

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS.
The results of the examination of the
water supplies of your city, as reported
leads to the conclusion that the system
of the Scranton Gas and Water company
is to be preferred to the other and upon
these grounds
l. There is evidence OF a create" care
ana desire to improve faulty conditions
:. The actual supply of water is larger,
hence there is less opportunity cor stag
nation in the resery uirs.
j. Taken as a whole the watersheds in
volved are better.
L. Save for the probable drainage into
the Elmh',rst reservoir and impure
stream flowing into Scranton Lake there
are no apparent sources OF gross polu-
ton.
b. The sources of pollution noted in my
report can probably he readily checked
or even removed.

ORIENTAL DIPLOMACY.
An Instance of the Japanese Idea Of
Carrying Through q Good
Joke.

It was at the time of the exhibition in

return for which England was to have three

choose afterward."
The minister of foreign affairs selected
Yokohama, Yeddo and Hang Yang.
The embassy made no objections; they
simply smiled and went on their way.
Some time afterward Japan sent word
that the three ports mentioned were agreed
to, and in return Japan desired Havre, Mar
settles and Southampton.
This last named gave the French officials
fits. They never laughed SO much before,
and certainly never since. Southampton a
French port! No, it was too good. Gently,
but unmistakably, they explained the sit
uation.

replied,

Car Conductors.

The presence of half dozen unusual
ly pretty young women may have had
something to do with the beginning of
the incident. If so, the fact that they
were there at the close was anything
but pleasant to one of the principal
actors, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t occurred on an Eleventh street car
an afternoon or two ago. AT corner
not many squares from Market street
a stylishly dressed young man clam
bered aboard and took seat not far
from the Saunterer. His manner indi-
Gated that he was pretty well salts
fled with himself and that he didn't
rate the rest of mankind as being in
the same elevated class. Settling him
self back comfortably he threw one
knee over the other and started to ogle
the aforementioned unusually pretty
young women.
Just about this time the conductor
came along on fare-collecting trip.
Hating opposite the self-satisfied
young man he extended his hand.
Fare, please" he said.
The self-satisfied young man showed
down into his trousers pocket and
hauled out small bunch of bills. Peel
ing off one he handed it to the con-
ductor ostentatiously. The conductor
examined it coolly.
81 can't change this he said.
Haven't you anything smaller?"
"Nope," replied the young man in a
loud voice. I'm out of everything but
hundred-dollar bills to-day. Can let
you take your choice of four or five
of them, though
With grin in the direction of the
unusually pretty young women he
pulled out the bunch of bills again
and displayed four more hundreds. y
The conductor looked the self-satisfied
young man over meditatively. Then
he ambled back to the rear end of the
car with the hundred-dollar bill in his
hand. square further up the street
le came back.
"Here-hold your hat" he exclaimed
to the self-satisfied young man, at the
same time drawing his hand from his
coat pocket and extending it filled to
the full with nickels, dimes and quar-
tiers. II can give you $1s.95 now. The
other $s1 I'll get for you when we
reach the car barn at the end of the
run"
The self-satisfied young man turned
ps red in the face as though he were
on the verge of an apoplectic stroke
Reaching out he grabbed the hundred
dollar bill the conductor still held in
his other hand and pushed it savagely
down into his vest pocket
II don't need your change" he ejac
ulated savagely. I've found five cents

Then he handed over five pennies
which the conductor rang up with 6

JAPANESE SAILORS FRIEND
A scotch Civil in London Tries to Make
Their Stay I'm That Port
Pleasant.

The Japanese sailors who visit Eng
land have a true friend in Miss Nc
Lean. a pleasant-faced Scotch girl who
has taken them under her protecting
wing. as it were. When they visit Eng
land the japanese sailors want to see
as many sights as they can during their
brief stay. There was no one to guard
them against crimps or show them
round until Miss Mclean took up the
work. Thanks to her, the sailors re-
ceiye warm welcome at the special
Japanese institute for sailors which
she has organized at Tilbury.
Miss Mclean has for years taken a
deep interest in the people of Japan.
For a long time she labored as a mis-
,5ionary in their midst, and on her re-
turn to England she determined that
as far ms possible she would still work
for them. She therefore settled close
10 the docks and has since made it her
business to visit every japanese vessel
that enters the port of London. In this
way she became acquainted with the
sailors and gained their confidence.
Finding that they were all eager to
see London, she offered to act as their
guide, and the japanese sailors ac'
cepted it with delight, and accordingly
under her escort thousands of Japaness
sailors have been conducted over all
the public buildings and places of in
terest in the metropolis.
