The case of the State vs.. 81. Rudolph
Rabens, receiving stolen goods. is in
progress as we go to press. This case
was begun yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock. The only witness examined for
the State during the whole afternoon was
John f. Mccarthy, of Philadelphia, an
expert safe blower, who headed the gang
that robbed tho Office of the Courtenay
Manufacturing Co., at Newry, about
three years ago. He tells of the robbery
in straightforward manner, and his
experiences will almost make you shiver
This case will, in all probability, be con-
cluded to-day, when the court will ad-
journ sine die.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Tuesday afternoon the grand Jury
made its presentment and was discharged
from futher attendance upon the term
PERSONAL.
"Col." John NJ. Hudson appeared at
this term of court as the crier Years
ago he occupied this unique position,
and though 70 years have come and gone
since the colonel arrived on the scene,
his voice is still loud and clear, and his
stentorian tones reached lawyers, jurors
and witnesses with no uncertain sound.
Another of the old veterans connected
with this term of court was K. C. But
Ter. who has also passed up into the
seventies. For several terms past he has
looked after the comfort of the Jurors
and other attendants upon the sessions.
