No RULING ON CORNELLY’S PETITION
ror A NEW TRIAL. —The argument for a
new trial for James Cornelly, convicted of
having set fire to the armory of Co. B, in
this place, was made before judges Love !
and Faulkner, on Wednesday afternoon,
and consumed most of the session.
The court room was half filled with
| spectators when Hugh S. Taylor Isq.,
opened the case for the petitioner. He
made a clear, concise statement of the facts
upon which the petition was based and
read the affidavits of nineteen reputable
citizens of Rochester, Pa., the home of
Gillespie, the young detective upon whose
evidence alone Cornelly had been con-
i victed. Nearly all of them swore positive-
|
i
|
{
| Ly that they knew Gillespie's reputation |
i for truth and veracity to be very bad and |
at they would not |
| some of them swore th
| believe him on oath.
These affidavits were presented with the
hope that they would impress upon the
court the fact that there is reasonable
ground for doubting Gillespie’s testimony
at the trial of the armory fire. To off set
them the Commonwealth presented twenty-
six affidavits made by citizens of Roches-
ter, but most of them were of a negative
character, as they merely swore that they
had never heard Gillespie’s reputation dis-
cussed.
After the Commonwealth case had been
presented by district attorney Singer, Mr.
Reeder made the argument against a new
trial. It was simply a recital of the testi-
mony presented at the time of the trial
and an attempt to further involve Cornelly
in a charge of perjury. This was brought
by the deposition of Peter Keichline who
swore that he had seen Cornelly in Cri-
der’s lumber yard, with Gillespie, on the
morning of the 19th of April. Cornelly
swore, at the time of the trial, that he had
not been there and presented the affidavits
of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Caldwell and
Richard Taylor to the effect that he
had heen at other places all that day
and was not drunk, as sworn hy Gillespie.
Keichline’s testimony was the only new
local evidence developed but was contro-
verted by three other rehable witnesses.
Former judge A. O. Furst concluded the
argument for the petitioner and did it most
masterfully. Such a minute, careful and
convincing presentation of the facts in the
case would have acquitted Cornelly had it
been made at the trial. His argument
carried the conviction of a well fortified
position and he talked with a fearlessness
that was refreshing indeed. It was gen-
erally supposed that the motion would be
over-ruled at once, but after such an argu-
ment, which showed unmistakable ground
“for the petition, the court took the testi-
mony and will review it carefully hefore
handing down his rule.

Bary BUrNED IN HALF
large bank barn on the farm of Mrs. Fan-
nie Gray, a short distance west of Gray’s
burying ground. in Half Moon township,
was burned to the ground early last Sun-
day morning.
It was about 4 o’cleck when the flames
were discovered and Lowry Biddle, the
tenant on the place, was so overcome with
excitement that he was greatly delayed in
getting out to the barn. His little son got
there, however, and was able to get one
horse out, but the fire had had such a start
of them that the manes and tails of the
other beasts in the same stable were al-
ready afire. Two horses,
mowing wachine, spring wagon, a drill
and nearly ail the other implements were
burned. A wagon was saved, but only af-
ter the tongue had been burned off of it.
The grain crop in the barn belonged to
Thomas Huey who moved away from the
place last spring. It would have threshed
about 400 bushels. The balance of the
crovs in the barn were Mr. Biddle’s and
he had no insurance on anything. The
barn was not insured either.

AN OLD GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL EpU-
CATED AT THE BELLEFONTE ACADEMY. —
A propos of the advanced age of the father
of Win. Irwin, one of Philipshurg’s most
representative citizens, the Journal of that
place recently published the following
sketch of the life of venerable Ellis Irwin,
who is 92 years old and postmaster at Lick
Run Mills.
Ellis Irwin, postmaster at Lick Run Mills,
Clearfield county, Pa., is one of the oldest of-
ficials in the service of the national govern-
ment, having been born June 17th, 1805, near
Bellefonte, Pa. He was educated at the
Academy, at that place, and engaged in the
shoe business. On January 10th, 1827, he
was married, and on April 29th, 1839, he re-
moved to Clearfield county. Rix years later
he was commissioned by Gov. Joseph Ritner
as prothonotary. register and recorder of the
county. In 1840 he was appointed postmas-
ter at Clearfield, and in 18355 elected sheriff.
In 1856 Mr. Irwin moved to Lick Run Mills
and engaged in the lumber business.
1872 he was appointed postmaster, a position
which he has ever since retained.

{| MENDIS STILL I:
| On the cvening of September 22nd Peter

and placed in jail on suspicion of having

ness partner. Sixteen days have elapsed
since then and Mendis is still in jail pend-

adelphia with the object of having expert
examination made to see if poison had
been the cause of his death ; the suspicion
being that Mendis had poisoned him while
sick by substituting poison for the medi-
cines prescribed by his attending physician.
Attorneys for the accused sought to
| secure his release through habeas corpus
| proceedings, last Thursday, but as the
Commonwealth was not ready with its
evidence the hearing was postponed until
Wednesday, when it was again postponed,
for the same reason, until next Monday
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
Judging fiom the character of the prin-

it seems like the crassest injustice to hold
ia man in jail so long without requiring
| the district attorney to show more evidence
| than a mere suspicion founded upon the
| fact that the stomach and intestines of
| Maria were in an unusual state of preser-
vation for a subject that had been buried |
for 22 months. The Philadelphia experts
have written that this condition is, of
itself, very suspicious, but when the cirenm-

VAN DYKE—NoOLL. — The marriage of
Mr. George N. Van Dyke, of Pittsburg, to |
Miss Caroline Rebecea Noll, of this place,
was celebrated at noon on Tuesday. The
ceremony was performed at the bome of
tev. Dr. Wm. A. Stephens, pastor of the
Methodist church, and none but the near-
est relatives of the ride and groom were
present. The simplicity of the wedding
was occasioned by the illness of the bride’s
vounger sister, thus making a brilliant
home wedding an impossibility.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.
John Noll, one of Bellefonte’s prominent
contractors and builders, and is a charm-
ing girl whose personal beauty is enhanced
by rare domestic attainments.
Mr. VanDyke is the junior member of
the firm of Gamble & VanDyke, designers |

headgear, in Pittsburg. He isa member

On the 20th the team goes to Philadel-

“W. R. Haynes, of Snow Shoe, was in the
city twitting his old hunter friends on the
palatable meal he had eaten from a pheasant,
which bird he had secured without violating
the law, even though the season has not yet
opened. It seems that while his young
daughter was walking to make a visit to a
friend, the pheasant flew against a telegraph
wire and severed its head. The plump body
of the bird fell to the ground, when the lit-
tle girl picked it up and carried it home.

THE ACADEMY Boys GOOD SHOWING. —
The Bellefonte Academy foot ball team
went down to Lock Haven, on Saturday,
and succeeded in breaking even in a game
with the strong eleven from the state Nor-
mal school.
Both teams played furiously during the
| two twenty-minute halves, but they were
so evenly matched that neither side could
score.
It is greatly to the credit of the Academy
boys that they made such a creditable
showing. The teams lined up as fellows :
