The Maine catastrophe has brought to lightsome interesting facts concerning the means employed by a great news pupal* to meet the demands of the pub lic for quick, full and accurate informa tion concerning that disaster. Although receiving the complete report of the news-gathering organizations. tho Philadelphia Pro*# is also giving ex clusively to its readers daily despatches from the mo-t brilliant corps of special correspondents and artists ever massed on a single piece of news. This includes Ralph I>. Paine, Julian Hawthorne, Carl Decker. Sylvester Seovel and Louis Ruyl at Havana and Key West; E. J. Gibson and Ills assistants at Washington; Julian Ralph, at London, and equally well-in formed representatives at tho other points at which news is likely to be ob tained. It is sometimes said that Phila delphia is "slow," but tliofio is nothing slow in the enterprise which enables the Pre** to set up the claim that it is lead ing all tlie other newspapers in the country in the promptness and reliability of its news.

When the Jury Acquitted tlie Sheriff and ills ltunil of Assassina— More Trials Are to Follow. Sheriff Martin and ills deputies wers acquitted yesterday by tho jury on tho charge of killing Mike Coslak at Latti mer on September 10 last. The verdict, was rendered a few minutes aftor court opened. Tho result of the trial caused little or no surprise to the defundonts or prosecutors. Evidence in plenty had been accumu lated since shortly after tho opening of the trial that a better jury for the cor porations interested could not be secured if the county had boon scoured for that purpose. In spite of this known fact, tho prosecution attorneys went on with ; the trial to show to tho public that the j men accused of murder are guilty and j deserve punishment. The testimony produced at the trial lias branded every deputy with murder, in the eyes of the general public, aud no amount of perjury or purchased verdicts will ever remove this brand. If sufficient money can be procured to prosecute the sheriff and his deputies again, the indictments against tlieoi. i numbering one for each murdered aud i each wounded striker, will be pushed until justice, if such a tiling exists in Luzerne county, lias been meted out to tho accused. It is also quite likely that some of tho jurymen will figure promi nently in court on serious charges in the near future. La*L llnys of tho TrUl. Attorney Scarlett on Monday opened tho argument for tho prosecution. He spoke for about two hours and com manded tho closest attention of the vast audience. He held that tho strikers had a porfect right*to march on the public highways and that Sheriff Martin and his deputies had no right to siioot down and kill tho strikers. Of the defense's many witnesses, he said the jury had to consider their testimony according to their credibility and standing. He claimed that the strikers had com mitted no act of violence aud conse qucntly declined to disperse when the sheriff read his proclamation, even though the sheriff and his deputies rep resented the government, and that the strikers continued their march, notwith standing that the sheriff told them: "If you are determined'to go to Lattimer you will have to go over my dead body.'" Mr. Scarlett went over the testimony of the defense very carefully and hold that the deputies had no right to stop tho strikers from marching on tho high way. as they carried the American flag, and furthermore, that the strikers had been wronged and murdered with ven gence and malice by the richer class who formed tho deputies. As he closed lie classed the trial as the greatest in tho history of tho world, armed men being charged with shooting down ruthlessly and wantonly martyrs of labor on a pub lic highway for merely making threats and who had done nothing that could be classed as an act of violence. John T. Lenahan, chief counsel for the defense, followed Mr. Scarlett. He made u pathetic plea, and in an elo quent manner told how the prosecution's alleged crowd of 1,000 peaceable strikers were marching about the mining ham lets armed to the tooth with deadly weapons and who drove men from their labor. Mr. Lenahan continued speak. Ing until nearly 5 o'clock. He reviewed the case very fully and appealed parti cularly to tho jury's love of law and order. The closing argument for the defense was made by ex-Attorney General Rai nier on Tuesday. He said the proceed ings had developed these three proposi tions. "There was" rioting in and around Hazleton from the 3d to the 10th of last September. "Sheriff Martin was called to Hazle ton to suppress this rioting. "The mob which marched to Lattimer was riotous, luwbreaking and disorder ly.'' Mr. Palmer abused the prosecution committee of citizens who helped bring the Lattimer shooting before the grand jury. He was especially bitter against Father Aust, of Hazleton, and Rev. Carl Houser, of Freeland, members of tho prosecuting committee. Ho accused John M. Garmau of trying to make political capital of the corpses at Lattimer. Ho sneered at and held tip to ridicule Messrs. Scarlett and Mc- Guliren and District Attorney Martin by name. He repeated what had been published in some newspapers concern ing the trial, and In every possible man ner openly tried to prejudice the jury against the prosecution. District Attorney Martin, seeing that Judge Woodward remained silent, arose aud objected to Palmer's language. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 189 S. Judge Woodward remained silent. District Attorney Martin was no less eloquent than his opponent, but his ) speech contained none of the rather sensational feature* that made Mr. Palmer particularly interesting. Mr. Martin confined himself altogether to • tlie evidence in tho case and sifted it > carefully, while ids generalities were all based upon the evidence. Ho ab , stained from personalities and did the best any man could in speaking against a verdict already agreed upon. When Mr. Marti ti concluded. Judge Woodward charged tho jury and at 5.30 o'clock they retired to prepare tho ver I diet. After defining the laws on rioting . and other points in the trial, the judge said; "There is no law, either by statutory enactment or by any decision of our courts, to prevent laboring men from stopping work and going upon a strike. Nor is there any law which makes it a conspiracy for workingmen, in any de partment of human industry, to com bine together, and by mutual agreement to refuse employment until there has been brought about a satisfactory ad justment between their employers and themselves upon tlie points at issue. "The defendants are ail and jointly indicted for the killing of the deceased. Tho commonwealth, in the absence of any proof as to who iired tlie fatal shot, asks for a conviction of all the defend ants on the ground that the action of tlie sheriff's posse was a criminal action, , for which every one is equally respon sible in tiio contemplation of the law. The. law is, that where several persons take part in tlie execution of a criminal purpose all are equally liable for tho act of each, and for the incidental and * probable consequences of tlie joint pur pose. "The question whether the purpose of the srteriff and his posse was a criminal one cannot be fairly answered without a comprehensive review of all tlie facts and occurrences which led up to and culminated in tlie final volley fired by the deputies, and which resulted in tho death of tho person named in the in dictment. "If the sheriff became satisfied, after a careful examination of tho situation In and about Hazleton, that the public peace was threatened, that the people were terrorized and that there was dan ger of riot if tho demonstrations of the 1 men engaged in the strike were allowed 1 to proceed, lie had tho right, as the chief officer of the county, to summon a x posse to assist him in the preservation of order and in the prevention of riot." Alleged That Mis Court Wan Bribed. As witnesses in his suit for $25,000 for slander against ox-County Treasurer V. O. Merwine, of Long Pond, Monroo county, tlie Hon. Barnet Mansfield lias . issued summonses to the Hon. Allen Craig, presiding judge fur the district; the Hon. James Edinger, one of tlie present associate judges, and Frank Keiper and Mahlon Kresge. It is these latter two gentlemen, Mansfield claims, who were told by Mr. Merwine ihat the Monroe county court got $7,000 for dealing lightly witli Irish men who came beforo tlie court for high way robbery. The subpoenas give tho time for appearance as March 21. Judge Craig and Associate Edinger will bo witnesses to disprove that tlie court was bribed. General Reeder has been retained by Mansfield as counsel. Shutting Down Collieries. The various coal companies in the Wyoming region have commenced a sys tem of economy by which a number of collieries will have their breakers shut down, while tlie coal from them will lie run through other breakers. About a year ago the Empire, of the Lehigii and Wllkesbarre Company, was abandoned, and last week the Prospect, of tlie Le high Valley Company, was shut down. It is now announced that the Lance colliery, at Plymouth, and tlie No. 9 col liery, at Sugar Notch, will both be sus pended. These collieries have been working for over thirty years, and tlie closing of tlie breakers will throw out of work hundreds of men and boys em ployed as outside hands. Enforcing u School I.aw. t Wllkesbarre school board is strictly enforcing tho complusory education law, regardless of whom it may hurt. On Tuesday Mrs. James McGuiro was arraigned beforo Alderman Donohue, charged by the truant officer with send ing her ten-year-old son to work in a coal breaker instead of to school. In justification, the mother said it hurt her more to send her boy to work than it hurt tlie school board or tlie legislature of Pennsylvana, but she had to have tho boy's earnings to make a living. The justice said he could not discriminate in the matter and imposed a fine of $2.50. A Lofting C'ontrnot. "Every man is the architect of big wo fortunes."

Davis, Frank DePierro; South ward, Patrick* Meehan, Alex Mulhearn. For president the names of Daniel Kline and VV. 11. Butz were presented. The ballot was a tie, each receiving five votes. Mr. Kline then withdrew in favor of liis opponent, and Mr. Butz was chosen hv a unanimous vote. An effort was made at this point to adjourn until Monday night, but the motion failed. For secretary the present incumbent, T. A. Buckley, was named, also H. VV. Ila worth. The voto was seven to three in favor of Buckley, this making the thirteenth time ho lias been chosen to fill the position. Dr. E. VV. Rutter, Joseph Neuburger and the Citizens' bank applied for the treasurership. Tho bank offered to attend to tho duties of the office at three-fourths of one per cent on dis bursements. The council elected Mr. Rutter by acclamation. For the office of street commissioner there wero nine applicants, namely, Bernard Boyle, John Burton, Isaac Davis, John VV. Davis, Soioman Kresge, M. I). Myers, Jacob Nagle, John Shelly and Gilbert Smith. The first ballot resulted in one vote each for Boyle, Kresge, Shelly and Smith, and two votes each for Burton, Isaac Davis and John VV. Davis.

It was decided to add a finance com mittee, consisting of three members, to tho committees already provided for. The president stated ho would appoint tho several committees at a lator date. Council then adjourned to meet next Monday ovening. The session was short, but interesting. There was much speculation among the spectators, who numbered as many as could crowd in and around the borough building, as to who would bo chosen to the different positions. Although tho the council is Republican by a vote of eight to two, party lines were not drawn in filling tho offices. Two of the best paying positions on the list, secretary and treasurer, were given to Democrats. Previous to the above business the regular monthly session was held, all tho members being present.

Upon the advice of the attorney, the committee reported that no notice should bo taken of the claim and that the matter be taken to court, if necessary. Council concurred in the report of the commit tee. On motion of Mr. Mulhearn, seconded by Mr. Davis, a vote of thanks was ten dered to tho retiring councilmen, Messrs. Rutter and Miller. Mr. Rutter responded and thanked the members of council for the many courtesies extended to himself and his colleague during their terms, and also referred very feelingly to the now mem bers who wero shortly to enter upon their duties, expressing a wish that har mony and good feeling, together with a desire to serve the best interests of the borough, should prevail throughout all their deliberations. At the conclusion of the doctor's remarks lie was enthusi astically applauded by the council as well as by the large audience. This concluded the business of the old council and adjournment followed.
