The regular August term of quarter ses- sions convened on Monday morning with Judge Love presiding and notwithstand- ing a proclamation had been issued doing away with the second week’s sessions all of the work was cleared up and the jurors discharged on Wednesday night. There was a short session of argument court yes- terday morning and the grand jury pre- sented its report, which finished up all the work for the session : ; The morning cession was taken up in the presentation of motions and petitions by the several members of the bar; the instructions to the Grand Jury, of which body the Court appointed Riley Pratt, of Unionville, Foreman; the returns by the Constables of tbe Boroughs and Town- ships in the County, etc. The application for the Charter of the Nittany Country Club was presented to the Court. After the charge to the Grand Jury, that body retired to consider the few bills of indictment to be laid before them by District Attorney Spangler. The list of criminal cases 18 quite ehort, and no cases of much importance are for trial. W. C. Miller Esq., of the Clearfield County Bar was admitted to the local bar on motion of Col. Reeder. The case of Geo. Dale, A. A. Dale, Clement Dale, who eurvive Henry Dale dec’d., executors of the last will and testament of Chrigtian Dale, Sr., dec’d., Versus Clement Dale and Blancke Hoy executors of etc., the last Will and testa- ment of Christian Dale, Jr., dec’d., with potice to Blanche Hoy legatee -and de- visee under the Will of said Christian Dale, Jr., deceased, was continued be- cause it was improperly on the list. This was a scire facias to revive a certain judg- ment. ‘The firet case tried Monday afternoon was that of Ralph Geyer and J. A. Gard- ner trading and doing business under the firm name of Geyer and Gardner vs Michael Davidson and M. I. Forcey trad- ng and doing business under the firm name of Davidson and Forcey. This was an Appeal taken from the judgment ren- dered by a justice of the peace, and was for the breach of a coal contract. Some time during the last winter the plaintffs ordered some coal from the defendants who have control of a mine in this County. They agreed to ship the coal as ordered. but after some inquiry they learned that aman by the name of J. W. Gardner, who they thought was one of the partners of Geyer and Gardner, was insolvent, and without further inquiry cancelled the or- | der and refused to ship the coal. It later turned cut that the Gardner who was in- solvent was not a party interested, and that they had actually rescinded the con- tract without legal grouuds. The Court after a briet charge turned the case over to the jury and in a few minutes a ver- dict was rendered in [Iavor of the plain- tiffs and againet the defendants in the sum of $127.75 The case of J. C. Rossman *s Jacob F. Musser, which was an appeal, was settled by the parties, There are only two civil cases on the ligt for trial at this session :(—Wm. Hall ve The Singer Sewing Machine Mfg. Co., and Maggie Woodring versus H M. Dun- ning. Both these cases are appeals from the jndgment rendered by a justice of the peace. A report of the facts in each case will be given later. The Grand Jury ignored the bill of in- dictment in. the cage of Commonwealth ve Ernest Viard, who was indicted by Po- liceman Boalick of Philipsburg, for re- sisting an officer an} for assault and bat- tery, and placed the costs upon the County. A cross euit was instituted by Mr. Viarc against the Policeman for ag- sault and battery and the Grand Jury ignored this bill and the Court sentenced Mr. Viard to pay the costs of prosecution or go to jail. The fret criminal case tried was that of Commonwealth versus Earl Midlan, Ray Crieprn, Frank McCartney, and Thos. McClogkev, who were charged with the larceny of money from the store of Mr. T. B. Buddingex at Clarence. T. B. Bud- dinger was the prosecutor. A nol pros was entered Tuesday morning as againet Crispen and McCloskey, Neither of the defendants were fifteen years of age. The Commonwealth alleged that some time during the month of July and part of August cash was missed from the money drawer in the Clarence store, and no trace of it could be found until after the clerks had put a $20.00 bill in the drawer, locked it and left the room for a short time. In lees than ten minutes the $20.- 00 bill was missing and when they called to one of the above defendants he told them that he had found the money on the floor. They then made a further esearch and found that another similar bill that had been lost was presented at a store in Snow Sh:2 to have it changed for one of the boys. They were immediately arrested and given a hearing and bound over for Court. No testimony was given on part of the defendants and after the jury was out for balf an hour returned a verdict of guilty and asked the mercy of the Court in imposing sentence upon the youths. Antonia Piteoraig who was charged with the crime ot larceny by Peter Krie- poragi, wae acquitted by the jury. Geo. Kachick acted as interpeter for the parties, Keturah Colpetzer who was charged with an assault and battery bv Margaret Treesler was found guilty by the jury and sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution and a fine of ten dollars. George Garman who wae charged with the crime of larceny by W. H. Crissman entered his plea of guilty. The Conrt suspended sentence for the time being. Edward McCullough entered a plea of guilty to the crime of adnl ery and was sentenced to pay the cor 8 of prosecution, a fine of $50.00 and to the jail of Centre Co for a period of nine months. Commonwealth vs Joseph Niecon, in- dioted for assault and battery; prosecutrix Mary C. Brook. This case is from Snow Shoe township at Clarence and some alter- cation took place between these parties on the 18th of August and as alleged by the prosecutrix the defendant kicked her in the stomach and hit her with stones, while on the other hand the defendant alleges he was assaulted. Verdict of not guilty and the defendant to pay two thirds of the costs and the prosecutrix one third. William Hall vs The Singer Sewing Ma chine manufacturing company. This case is from Snow Shoe township and is an ap- peal from decision of justice of the peace and it appears from the evidence that some- time in the eighties the plaintiff bought from the defendant company a sewing machine for fifty-five dollars and in 1896 turned this machine in as part payment for a new machine which was to be first class and plaintiff claims the machine was not satis- factory and the defendant’s agent promised to replace the machine with another. one, but never did so and in the meantime plaintiff paid for machine in full. Begin- ning of 1901 plaintiff’s wife again requested agent to replace machine according to his promise and offered to give him $2 for his trouble and a new machine was brought and Mrs. Hall paid him $2 and about the same time asked her to eign a paper which the agent stated was done on account of a different number, which afterwards turned out to be a lease and the plaintiff refusing to make the payment as provided by this lease the agent came there aud removed the machine, Defendant alleges the 1896 machine was all it was represented and that the 1901 machine was a sale and he had acquainted Mrs. Hall with the con- tents. Verdict in favor of plaintiff for thirty-nine dollars and fifty-eight cents, Maggie Woodring, now Witmer vs H. M. Dunning, an appeal from judgment of a justice of the peace.

St ppp ee — -The Milesburg band festival attraot- ed a great crowd to that place on Saturday night and as the receipts ran up into the neighborhood of $220.00 there must have been some good spenders among them. The extensive program advertised by the band boys was carried out all but the daring dive which Johnny Johnson had promised to make from the iron bridge to the Bald Eagle, forty-feet below. The stream was too low for him and he had to call his dive, off. It was not because he is a fakir, but because the water into which he was to dive had fallen away below the safety | mark.

P. Neyhart, at Mileshurg, when their eldest son, Edward N. Neyhart, was united in marriage to Miss Cora Singleton, of Oil City. Only the near relatives and more intimate friends were present at the ceremony and yet the spirit of happiness and pleasure was. so evident that it was from the first a festal occasion. Rev. Carson, of the Milesburg Preshy- terian church, pronounced the ceremony at 6 o’clock and after the nsual congratula- tions and an excellent supper Mr. and Mrs. Neybart left on the evening train for Oil City.

Yesterday morning he was married to Miss Elsie B. 8. Eckman, formerly resident of Bellefonte, by the Rev. E. E. Hoshour, also formerly of this place. After the marriage they started directly for their home here and were met at the train last evening by the entire Logan Co. in uniform and after being mounted in a stylish Stanhope the horses were taken out and the firemen pulled them through the streets of the town, with a brass band and plenty of fire works ahead. Altogether it was the greatest night of Mr. Beck’s life, but it was only the fulfill- ment of a promise the firemen had made and the groom enjoyed it as mmch as his fellows did. —— ee QA ene ——On Tuesday evening Miss Edith M. Shank, of Snow Shoe, and Mr. Louis R. | Bickel, of Zion, were united in marriage at the Baptist parsonage, in Milesburg, by the Rev. A. C. Lathrop, — i ——The association which the Bellefonte barbers organized a week or so ago has ap- parently gone by the boards already. Ac- cording to their compact all shops were to close at 8 o'clock at night and there was to be a slight advance in the prices for certain work after September 1st, but when it came to posting cards to that effect in their shops president R. A. Beék had changed his mind about its practicability and the whole scheme was called off, much to the chagrin of the other followers of the art -tonsorial.
