Swithin G. Shortlidge who is now residing
at kennett Square. i'll Chester county. The
suit, which is to recover the sum OF S1,022
from the Provident Life and Trust Com

history of life insurance.
The tragedy which ended the life of Mrs.
ShortiIdge was i'm Media on d New Year
years before that date Prof. Shortlidge had
come to Media with his wife and family
and established what was known as the
Media Academy for young men. For sew

Mrs. Shortlidge died.

DEAOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.
Representative Landis Shows Its An

member in whose district at Delphi Chair
man Hanna delivered his famous speech :,
few days ago said Il well-known local
worker in District political affairs to a Star
reporter and | had a short talk with the
hustling young congressman.
Most people here think Mr.. Lands is r.
lawyer because of his unusually able and
logical speeches in the House last winter
which won for him fame, a denomination
and the friendship of the leaders of his
party. He is, however, an editor, having

able and very popular young man, as his
many friends in Washington will testify
Representative Lands had just returned
from trip to the Pacific coast, when
met him. He had, he said, been through
number OF far western states and could see
no signs of encouragement for Bryan. He
believed California, Oregon and Washing
ton were safe for Mckinley as Penn
sylvania: that Idaho and Wyoming would
go republican, and that even Utah and Col
Orado We're in a fair way to be carried by
Mckinley.
From his observations he believed that
Kansas is certain for Mckinley, and he
informed me that while in Nebraska the re-
publicanS of that state We're betting even
money that Mckinley would beat the peer
less leader in his own state. He thought
that Mckinley would receive the largest
vote in the electoral college given any man
since Grants second election.

effects of thrilling scene in the court
room last evening, when he denounced
Arthur Goebe and hystericaily proclaimed
his innocence. Proceedings in the case were
postponed until tomorrow.
During the Youtsey trial yesterday after
noon Arthur GOebel was on the stand. and
Judge Ben Williams, who for the hrSt time
appeared fer the prosecution did The ques-
tiOnin&.
Arthur Goebel said: II talked with Yout-
sey the day he was arrested, late In the af-
ternoon, in the Jail in Frankfort, in refer
ence to the murder of my brother.
Just at this point Gouisey arose behind
his attorneys, and, in a loud voice, said:
"It is untrue; it ia a lie; / never spoke a
word to that man in my life, nor he to me. "
Col Crawford told him to be quiet and
sit down, and others took hold of him.
Il will not sit down. l never said word
to that man--it is untrue" He was shout
ing by this time, and every one was becom-
ing excited. Youtsey's wife sprang to his
side aad while enGeavering to make him sit
down could be heard saying: Now, you
have killed my husband;>I suppose you are
satisfied Then Youtsey hysterlcally
shouted again: Il am innocent-there is no
my life away" Two or three deputy sher-
ifs went over and grabbed him. He strug-
gled wildly and said: Let me alone: will
not sit down.
Finally after Youtsey was forced into a
seat he shouted again: 'Goebel Is not dead;
all the demons in hell could not Kill him.
Mr.. Sheriff, If the defendant does not be-
have himself put handeuffs on him" said
Judge CantriN.
Meanwhile the audience could not be
forced to keep their seats until the judge
threatened to fine those who stood up.
Youtsey settled back in his chair closed his
eyes and seemed i'm state of collapse. He
waved his handkerchief above his head in
an aimless sort Of way. and groaned and
cried hysterically. Finally quiet was re-
stored. and Judge Williams asked Arthur
Goebel another question. when Col. Craw-
ford asked a postponement OF the trial until
today, on account of the defendants con-
dhion.
Judge cantrill said he could see no cause
or reason for the Defendants outbreak. but
in justice to hts attorneys he would post
pone the case until today. MIR. Frank
lin said the commonwealth had not the
slightest objection to adjourntng until to-
day and court so adjourned.
Youtsey still occupied his chair. with his
eyes closed. apparently in half fafnting
condition. After the crowd passed out
