tcrwards crowned King Of England

third Prince OF Orange, from whom
the Institution derives its name.
1t is customary to observe the day
by parade and picnic, and every Orange
man looks forward with delight on the
coming of the glorious twelfth and
those who for any reason or other are
not able to attend the celebration pass
the hours Of the day in misery.

Bradford estate and not to the city.
Now the place has become nui-

a dramatic scene during the final
pleas in the case of Bank Clerk Loud
er N. Hearn, accused of seducing a
girl, the jury returned a verdict OF
acquittal.
With the evidence all in the SEN

ry in most fluent language from the
time the young Deputy Attorney
General, Robert Richards, began
the summing up of the State ties IT,
mony until Attorney General Ward
concluded, Immediately following ex-
Congress man Handy for the defense.
Mr.. Handy threw his arms around
llearn and the two wept while Mr..
Richardson was addressing the jury.
The most dramatic incident of the
argument was when Mr.. Handy
seized the Bible upon which the ju-
rors were sworn and turning to the
seventh chapter Of Proverbs, read
that rem arkable story, applying it
to the girls in the case who had teS-
tilted against llearn.

ordinance regulating the speed of

Just what is the obj ect or necessity
for 4 new ordinance cannot be as

to hurry alon. the work OF the ong

TWO MEN
WANT PARDON.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 1o.-Th'
Board Of Pardons today heard ar
gument in the cases of Charles
Perry a1d Henry Ivory, the two
colored murders Of Professor Roy
White. Of the University OF Pennsvl
vania, who was killed on the night
OF May ~, 1900. Perry case was
presented by David W. Amram, who
presented the following reasons for
the pardon:
Perry was not the person who
struck the blow tina killed Professor
White. and there was reasonable
doubt as to the simplicity in plan
TO rob and kin, parry's statements
that he was rot au accomplice have
all been harmonious and consistent.
lie testified voluntarily for the State
at the tria Of Amos Sterling, the
principal offender in the murder of
Profess or White. Mr.. Arnram said
that Perry was merely in bad COM
pany; that he had no hand in the
robbery, and that, while the MUIR
dered man watch was found in his
possession, yet it was mere acci-
dent, and Perry cannot account for
it, except that after White had been
killed the watch was forced on him
by Amos Sterling, the real murder
er. Perry gave the evidence which
convicted Sterling.
Judge Stevenson, who tried the
case, said that without Perry's tes-
timony, it would have been difficult
to secure conviction. All opposi-
tion to communication OF the death
sentence had been Withdrawn by
Director Public Safety English, who
had at first objected,
Francis Chapman represented
Ivory, and said that there was no
evidence to show hat his client had
participated in the murder. Juror
David Mooney had formed aud eN-
pressed an opinion before he was
swcrn as Juror that Ivory was
guilty. The Common wealth failed
to show that Ivory was a party to a
conspiracy to rob and murder. Ivory
not only did not strike the blow that
killed White, but tried to prevent
the blow from being struck. The
evidence showed that Ivory refused !
to take the watch taken from the
man. Amos Sterling
alone was the Instigator ard perpe-
TRAITOR OF the murder Of Professor
White. !
No action will be taken in any of
the cases until to- morrow.
