gone to an upstairs room At Mrs.
Bonds and had ordered four glasses
OF the drink for himself and three
other milshipmen and had been served
them by coloTed waiter, to whom

oil city, Pa. Of the first class, testi-
fled thai be had accompanied Mid
shipman Price and the others ON this
occasion. and snbstantlated Midship-
man Prices testimony on the other
points. These were the only Witnesses
for the state. The defence admitted
that ereme-de- menthe was ordinarily
an Intoxicating drink.
The witnesses IN Mrs. Bonds behalf
were herself and her bartender, Mr..
Mahlon Hamilton. Both testified that
they bad no know ledge of such sale
and that instructions had been given

or % 0thers 70 whom sale was pro-
hlbited by law. The jury rendered n
verdict Of acquittal after q brief de-
Liberation. Robert Moss. Esd. was

TO USE GRAVEL
Of MIL CREEK
COUNCIL WILL DO SOME WORK
TO IMPROVE STREETS AND
BED OF STREAM.

The city council has devised a novel
as well as economical method of
clearing the bed of Mill creek and at
the same time supplying material with
which 10 improve the condition of the
city streets.
The idea was made known by the
street committee during the meeting of
the council last evening. and after it
had been thoroughly explained, it was
the unanimous opinion of the city
fathers that the idea was practible in
every measure.
Il is proposed to place the city rock
crusher at the different street inter-
sections. The loose rock and gravel
viii be hauled from Mill Creek and
crushed, after which it will be used
for street paving purposes and in the
construction of. concrete bulkheads.
The idea, it is understood, was adj
vanced by Councilman Tausick some
time ago, and the proposition has been
before the street committee for some
time

JOSEPH NILES MUST SK|DO0
HAS BECOME TOO FAMILIAR WITH
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
BE GOOD CITIZEN.

.Joseno Niles received the warning
usually handed the ordinary vag when
in police court yesterday afternoon he
was given the choice of either paying
a fine of SIS or getting out of town.
Niles is a local printer, and for the
past two months has caused the ponce
considerable trouble. He was arrested
Yesterday in company with John jon
essy, and both men were accused
disorderly conduct.
Yesterday afternoon, the complain
ing witness having failed to appear IN
court, Chief Davis took the stand ano
testified that Niles had been on
friendly terms with Mrs. Jonessy and
that Monday evening the defendant
purchased a chicken and took II TO
the Jonessy home on Rose street
Upon entering the house Noles gross
w insulted Mrs Jonessy, and her nus
hand hearing of the conduct of Niles
rushed in and badly beat him.
After a brief consideration of the
case Judge Huffman administered a
sound reprimand to the prisoner, and
ordered him to leave town by ocioch

Niles has been under arrest three
times during his residence in TINS city

charges.
