A LONG LIST OF COMMON- WEALTH CASES. Judge Furst States His Pomtion in Regard To a New Court House—~That Shooting Affray at Snow Sheeand Other News, ———— Court convened Monday morning with Judge Furst on the bench and by his side Associates Rhoads and Riley. Ex-Sheriff Woodring occupied the desk of Prothonotary, I.. A. Schaeffer whois absent this week ona trip to North Carolina and other points of interest in that booming country. The forenoon was devoted chiefly to hearing motions and granting petitions, receiving the returns of the constables of the county, and the organization of the Grand Jury. The court very ap- propriately appointed Col. Stewart, of Boalsburg, foreman of that body. After carefully advising the grand jury as to what was their duty the court took up another topic upon which he spoke with considerable feeling. He pointed out that the old water closet, which for some years had become a nuisance, was torn away and a new building with proper drainage was being erected, COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS, Judge Furst then turned his remarks upon the the present court house, He pointed that the main audience room for holding court was entirely too small to hold the people who attend the Then the ac- commodations for the grand jury bad out various sessions of court. and the room too small, also the traverse jury room. The the various offices down stairs were in- sufficient. The Court suggested that this state of affairs could easily be remedied by building a front to court house of at least thirty feet w accommodations in the would give all the space necessary on the 1st and done at a moderate expenditure and 2nd floors, This could be furnish all the improvements to be de. | sired. for the consideration of the grand jury. Al though he would be satisfied, if they were, that no such improvements are necessary. He also wanted it distinctly understood that notwithstanding the reports scattered abroad the county, he that he made this suggestion re was not in favor of building a new | court house, and wanted to be clearly understood in that position, and that | when reported otherwise there were no | facts to support the statements. These latter statements of the Court were without a doubt intended for those naughty democratic papers of this county who so frequently lampoon the Court, and it in turn seizes the op. portunity to tongue.dash them back from the bench. The remarks of the Court in regard to building improve. ments created some discussion and as the grand jury no one knew what their verdict would be in regard to the proposed improvements. The Court thea announced that ow. ing to the prevalence of diphtheria and other malignant diseases in the vicinity of Snow Shoe, parties from there in whose families such diseases prevailed, would be excused from attendance at this session of court. Disinfectants were also recommended to be used in and about the court room. On Monday afternoon the case of Com. vs, John Allen Mayes and James Mayes, prosecutor Albert Lucas, was taken up. This was a shooting affray in which Albert Lucas was shot through the leg while attempting to make an arrest. The particulars were given some time ago inthis paper. The trial lasted all of Monday afternoon. The Com. showed that James Mayes attempt. ed to shoot John Rankin at Snow Shoe, and made threats to kill. When an at. tempt was made to arrest Mayes at his home, Albert Lucas, who was deputised to serve the warrant, was shot through the leg by John Allen Mayes. The de- fence made was that the officers came with a mob and not in peaceful manner to serve the warrant, and they only de. fended their persons and home, TUESDAY MORNING, The jury found a verdict against John Allen Mayes for “Wounding with in- tent to kill;” also against James Mayes for “Carrying concealed weapons and felonious attempt to wound and kill ete.” Com. vs. Charles Rock, plead guilt to charge of assault and battery upon hack driver at Coburn; was intoxicated at the time.

GRAND JURY REPORT. and find: | properly erected. “We find the different offices in the court house in fair condition, except | the commissioners’ and prothonotary’s | office, where there are poor facilities for keeping records; that we are informed that contracts have been made for im- proved shelving and they will have them placed in a short time. We find the jail in excellent condition.” (A few minor repairs are also suggested.) ““Asto improving the court house, we recommend that an addition of feet be built to the front end of the building so that more room can be had at the rear of the building to be used for additional jury rooms, ladies wait. ing room, ele., and that the entire building be remodeled.” A county bridge was also recommend- ed to cross Spruce Creek, on the road leading from Boalsburg to Lemont, near Oak Hall flouring mills. The structure should be a 50 foot iron bridge, providing College twp. erects the proper abutments, ot) Presented with » Mint On Wednesday afternoon after the adjournment of court an interesting event occurred. The members of the bar, who highly appreciate the faithfulness with which Bartam Galbraith, the venerable court erier, attends to duty, decided to pay him a tribute by presenting him with a fine silk hat. District Attorney, J. C. Meyer, made an appropriate and touching presentation address. Mr. Galbraith received the token of esteem gracefully though moved by this unexpected action of the attogneys. Judge Furst made a clever address in behalf of the recipient. This was a Thanksgiving gift, and Mr. Galbraith can feel proud of the testimonial, Coming Attractions.

While dressing a beef that had been hung up, the carcass broke loose and he tried to catch it to keep it from falling. He had a sharp knife in his hand which in some way twisted about and cut his left hand and wrist severely, severing several leaders and arteries. He had the wound dressed as soon as possible and it is healing nicely. The wound will give him a short vacation about the farm and he frequently comes to town to while away the time and talk politics ete., with the boys.
