Voted to Remain Out.

a committee representing the Drifton
shop strikers had conference with
President Stearns, of Coke Bros. & Co..
at Drifton this morning. At o'clock
this afternoon the strikers assembled at
the Municipal building and received the
report of the committee. The meeting
continued in session until after o'clock.
The answer of the company was that
only one-half the former number en-
ployed could be given work at the shops,
and that the present workers would be
retained in the company's employ.
The sentiment of the meeting was
overwhelmingly against accepting the
company's answer, and vote resulted
in the strikers deciding to remain out
until Coke Bros. Il Co. accede to their
demands or take them back in body.
On Saturday when a committee asked
for a conference they were informed
by superintendent Smith that none
could be had If any member of the
Deyer family appeared on the committee.

NO DEADLOCK
IN foster
o'Donnell Was Elected So
licitor on July q.
Received Three of the Five
Votes Cast at Meeting on
Above Date--Directors to
Elect Truant Officer.

Solicitor r. j. O'Donnell, of Foster
township school board, appeared before
the directors at their regular meeting
on Saturday evening and presented
proof that the board had reelected him
at recent meeting. The paper read
by Solicitor O'Donnell claimed that on
the first ballot for solicitor on July %
he received three of the five votes cast,
which was majority and was sufficient
to elect him. He further notified the
board that he would hold it reSpoSibe
for his salary.
After an investigation of the claim, a
majority of the members agreed that the
point was well taken, and a motion by
Directors Ieistloft and Kellar that K. j.
O'Donnell be chosen solicitor at the
same salary as last year received the
votes of Messrs. Keller, McHugh, Zeist-
loft and Johnson, Messrs. ONeiI and
Doubt voting no.
Agents for supplies were present and
the committee will examine samples
and compare prices to report at the
next meeting.
A motion prevailed that the solicitor
endeavor to get $40 per day for each
school building used for elections.
While the roll was being called to vote
on the above motion very amusing
thing occurred. A well known young
railroad man of Drifton startled the
directors and spectators by rising and
calling for the privilege of Il vote on the
motion. On being asked by the presl-
dent when he became school director
it dawned on the man that he had made
mistake and he took his seat amid
much laughter
No action was taken in the matter of
ricks at the same salary as other gram
mar school teachers.
The board decided to elect truant
officer by the votes OF Messrs. Doubt,
ONeil, johnson and McHugh, Messrs.
Keller and Ziestloft voting no. The APP
pointment went over.
Messrs. Keller and Ziestloft were ex-
cused at this juncture, they having some
business to attend.
August Scott, representing the Hobart
Smith historal chart, spoke on the
merits of his article and the board de-

Selection of Jurors.
Change in the System Made by a New Law

District Attorneys throughout the
State are being notified by the Sec
retary Of the Commonwealth of i'm.
portant changes in the Jury system
in accordance with the provisions Of
the new jury law recently adopted.
The new law is known as the Nc
Carrell law and makes radical changes
in the selection of juries in the trial
of misdemeanors and felonies as we'll
as oyer and terminer cases.
Under the old system twenty Jurors
were drawn in misdemeanors and
felonles and the Commonwealth and
defense were each entitled to chal-
lenge four jurors and select four from
the eight extra jurors if they so de-
sired. Under the new law twenty
four instead of twenty jurors are
drawn and each side has the privilege
10 challenge six jurors.
In the trial of cases classed as
felonies under the old law the same
number of jurors (twenty), were drawn
as in the trial of misdemeanors.
Under the new law twenty eight Jurors
must be drawn and the Commonwealth
and the defense each has the right to
challenge eight jurors.
There was really no cause or no
demand for a change IN the system OF
drawing jurors in misdemeanors and
felonles, and no one in the past has
complained of having suffered any
injustice under the system. There
will be little if any benefit in the in.
creased number of jurors to be drawn
hereafter, and if any benefit does
exist it will be more than offset in the
additional time and delay ill the
selection Of juries.
In the trial cases known as oyer
and terminer cases-murder, burglary,
manslaughter, arson, rape, etc.-the
new law wipes out the right of the
district attorney to stand aside jurors
and increases the number of chal-
lenges of the commonwealth from
four to twenty and the challenges OF
the defense from twelve to twenty.
The district attorney is also deprived
of the right to stand aside an entire
panel when he may have good reasons
to believe that jurors in the panel
have been seen, or otherwise tampered
with. Under the new system if a
juror in homicide case qualities un-
der oath the district attorney must ex-
haust one of his challenges if he de-
sires to keep him off the jury. 1t
often happens that juror In homi.
eide case answers all questions salts
factorily, but at the same time the
district attorney is satisfied that the
man is biased or fixed, and could ex-
erclse his right to stand him aside.
Under the new law this power is
wiped out.

YE PARK.
Lo! The conquering Hero Comes. Retun Of
the Seasons First and Most Substantial
Successes, "The Dairy Farm"

Every theatre-goer in Philadelphia
will be delighted to learn of the early
return of James H. Wallack's elabor-
ate scenic production of "The Dairy
Farm" with all the original company
scenery and effects, exactly as that
attraction was presented at the Chest
nut Street Opera House earlier in the
season. Manager Nirdllnger will
inaugurate the Spring Season at Ye
Park theatre on Easter Monday, April
9Th, with Eleanor Merron, in the
charming rural play, "The Dairy
Farm" which was one of the greatest
successes of last season, and comes
with the prestige of runs of 90 nights
in New York and 1873 in Chicago.
No play has received greater degree
of approval from the best class of
theater goers; not only have the critics
praised it, but it has won the endorse
ment of the clergy in every city where
it mas been presented, for Its healthy
moral, its purity of theme, its strength
of characterization and the fidelity
with which it depicts episodes of past
oral life. The scene is laid in a little
village in Northern New York in the
decade preceding the Civil War, and
the work has been pronounced per-
feet picture of the period, a time re-
mote enough to be picturesque, yet
recent enough TO be remembered
with the charm of distance idealizing
1t, by many playgoers of to-day. The
story IS extremely fascinating and of
great dramatic power. The basis of
the plot is the hate of misery old
man tor his neighbor, a country squire
of the old school; the mutual love of
the niece of one and the nephew of
the other, and the tragic revenge of a
runaway slave who has been trapped
and sold back into bondage in the
South by the mlser. The slavery
question, agltatlng the country during
the campaign that resulted in the
election of Franklin Pierce to the
Presidency, plays prominent part
in the development of the story, and
an old-time political rally, in which
the abolitionists and proslavery men
are arrayed against each other, forms
one of the most thrilling episodes.
The costumes of the period are faith
fully reproduced, and an entirely new
outfit of beautiful and picturesque
scenery has been provided for the
engagement, which is for two weeks
only. Seats are now on sale. 3-2S
