The case of Com, vs, Cyrus Shope,
charged with committing an assault
and battery upon John W. Mills, was
first called, The jury rendered a ver-
diet of not guilty and directed proge-
cutor, John W. Mills, to pay one-third
of the costs and defendant two-thirds,
Com. vs. John W. Mills indicted for
assault and battery, and aggravated as-
sault. Defendant plead guilty to an
assault and was sentenced to pay all
costs,
Com. vs. Philip Beezer, prosecutor
John GG, Dubbs. The defendant was
indicted for keeping and maintaining
a nuisance in Bush's Addition. It ap-
peared from the evidence in the case
that Mr. Beezer built a slaughter house
in Bush's Addition four years
ago. The plaintiff’ alleged that the
stench arising from the house was of
such a character that it detracted from
the pleasure, enjoyment and comfort
of his home as well as of his neighbors.
It was also alleged that by reason of
this odor it affected the healthfulness
of that section which fact was testified
to by quite a number of witnesses; on
part of the defendant it was alleged
tnat he kept his building in a cleanly
condition and that he was careful not
to allow anything to gather or remain
on the premises that would have a ten-

FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
What the State Commander Suggests for
Its Observance,
Commander Stauffer, of the Penn-
sylvania department of the Grand Ar-
my of the Republic, has issued his an-
nual Memorial Day general orders. He
suggests as a part of the observance of
the day the attendance of posts at
church services on Sunday, May 20,
He also suggests that pastors be asked
to select texts illustrative to these sub-
jects: “The gain of American citizen-
ship by the success of the Union sol-
dier,” and “The unquestioned and
everlasting right of the cause of those
who battled for the Union,” He sug-
gests that the school children be again
asked to participate in Memorial day's
| celebration, that everybody be inter-
| ested in it, that organizations other
| than military be welcomed to partici-
| pate, and that the sacredness of the
| day be observed. He says that Memo-4
| rial day will not be a day of sackcloth
| and ashes, nor mourning, nor fasting,
i should not be devoted to frivolous pas-
ime, It isa day for the flag, flowers
