The 7,MX) women who voted for school committee under the Australian ballet sys tem took te the new niolhed inore intelli gently than did thelr friends of the storner sex who tried it for the first lime ill tlie state election last month.

Shork, of West Hcrupflfild township, were tried for liorse stealing. Accenllng te the testimony of the commonwealth's witnesses, Eberhard Weber, living near Columbia, was the ownerofa horse, worth f 120. In driving this horse Weber met with an accident and had several ribs broken. While he was confined In the house of his daugh ter, the defendauts culled upon him and wanted te buy or trade for the horse. Weber said he would net trade unless his wife and boys were satisfied. The Shcrks then left ana went te the house of Wober and represented that the old gentleman was satlsrled te trade and In that way they obtained the horse from Wober and left tbetrs, an old ene. in Its place. Fer getting possession of tho.lierse by a trick this suit was brought. The defonse was that thore was no felo nious taking of the property, that the Kherks learned that Weber's liorse was a vicious animal and thought they could buy him cheap, after Mr. Wober had been se seriously hurt: that when Mr. Wober was seen about making a trode he examined the Shork liorse and agreed te trode and glve 95 te beet, that Wober gave a letter te IhoHherks te take te his wife stating that he was satisfied te trade and that it was net until seme busybedys went te Wober and told him that he had been elicited In the trade that he demanded his liorse, but the Kherks had already sold It and could net get It for Weber.

Annie Sourbeor was charged with en ticing Aunie Kllngler from her home for immoral purposes. The commonwealth's testimony te substantiate the charge was vqry slight. Tlie ilofcnse was a deuial by Mrs. Hour Heur beer that slie had onticed Annie from home and the girl, who it is alleged was enticed, went eti the stand and said that she had left her father's home en account of ill treatment. Wcdnesdny Merni .7 Court met at 9 o'clock, and the Jury lu tlie case against AnuioSeiirbecr, enticing Aiiule Kllngler from home for Immoral purposes, rendered a verdict et net guilty, and 1 m posed the costs en Theodere Kllngler, the prosecutor.

The defense was that Dern changed his working ploce and he then told llalter that his house was tee far away and he would have te change his bearding liouse te ene mere coiiveuient. Dern etl'ered te give Halter an erder en his new employer for tlie beard due, but he refused te accept it. It was donied that Dern had removed his clothing when he left Halter's bearding house, and claimed that the clothing left by Dern when he changed his bearding liouse was still there. Tlie Jury tendered a verdict of net guilty and Imposed tlnoe tlnee tlnoe feurthsof the costs en the defendant and ono-feurth en the prosecutor. Arthur Green, a" Welsh mountain coon, was tried for robbing tlie Iicnnery of Geerge F. Mullialey, of East Earl town ship.

E. eilers, a few miles from the city, where they had been sold early that morn ing by two colored men of the description of Arthur Green and Hendorsen Green, tlje latter being a fugitive from Justice. None or tlie wituesses could identlfy Arthur pos itively as the man who sold the chickens or Mullialey te .eilers. The defense- was a denial by Arthur Green that he was uulltv of the larceny charged, but he admitted that he had been convicted of ethor larcenies and been sen tenced ter theso offensos. Arthur Green testified that at the tlme it is alleged that he was soiling theso chickens te .eiler's, he was oil thu Lancaster market helling huckleberries and he was corroborated in the latter statement by rt witness who had seen and talked with Orceu en market in this city that morning at 7 o'clock.

Editeiis LNTiit.uuiiNCKii Steps are lie lug taken te meet a long-felt want in this city. If we have needed anything It has been u llrst class public circulating library that would be put within the reach or all who would desire te avail themselves of it. It Is nocessarv net only le have a library for goneral reading, lint te servc us an educator ) ene that will contain the best books by the host authors iu overy line, and thore Is no reason why Lancaster, like ether cities, should net have such. An effert is about te be made by the Yeung Men's Christian association of our city, assisted by several or our citizens, te meet this growing demand. A committee ceniK)scd of tliree members of the beard or managers or the association has been np IHilntcd todevlso ways nr.d means te fur ther this project. At a meeting of tlie com mittee last evening te consider this matter the llrst thing that confronted them was the need of that most useful article, cold, hard cash. That, however, was net sulllclent te check them In thelr plans. A wuv out or this dllllcultv was decided upon. It was that they ask thu Indies or our various ciiurcnes ie co-enoniiu mm them in this art of tlie plan. Tlie Ludles' Auxiliary of tlie association, being iu ses sion at the sainu tliue, were also consulted and willingly ell'urud their services.

A committee of men who knew books will be solected from our citizens te sug gest books which In their Judgment will best serve thu purpose.

It Is requested thai emphasis be put en tills ternt " for publlu use." The library is te be, as it lias been, a public circulating library, epen te all who may doslre te avail themselves of It. As such n move we de net hesitate te urge our public-spirited men te glve it their altoiitleu ; for surely a llrst class library iu a community teiuls te clovale the public mind, and anything that docs this means mere te our city than the money It costs te tirovide such institutions. Let thore be a hearty co-operation en thu part of all te push forward this movement te ii successful completion. A publlu meeting of the ladles or our churches will be held next Tuesday evening te censldar the supper mentioned. Other announcements will be made later. AVON THEIlt SUITS.
