'Judges and Attorneys Pleased With -Innovations Introduced. JILL THE KEWS OP THE COUKTI COURTS The District Attorney's clerks yesterday completed a report of the work done in the Criminal Court during the year 1890; also a .report of the last term which has j ust closed. 'District Attorney Johnston and the judges trho sat in the Criminal Court during the year were highly gratified at the results shown by the report. A steady increase in the amount oi work is shown up to the present term. Daring 'the September sessions there were two . judges on the bench, while the present term just closed was presided over by Judge 1 Stowe alone, and he came within 28 cases of disposing of as many as did the two judges last term. During the last four terms 32 homicide cases were tried. Of that number 3 were .convicted of murder in the first degree, 8 of murder in the second degree, 9 were convict ed or pleaded guilty to manslaughter, and in 10 caes not guilty verdicts were rendered. Of the latter conviction was sought for by the District Attorney in but two cases. Nearly Cleaned Up the list. Only 21 cases jr over from the present term to then j Steven are on affidavits filrrl anrl In thn Mher ten the defendants were not arrested. There were ten weeks at court, j 4iti4.3a average of 50 cases a week were tried. Tbe cost of running the court for 1SS0 is -shown to have been $5,309 62 less than the year preceding, in suite of the large increase in the volume of business. This saving is the resnlt of the system adopted by th District Attorney, -which necessitates the closes: scrutiny into the costs in every case and the reducing of the number ut witnesses to those who are material to the trial of cause. At a consequence, in smte of the fact that over 200 more cases were tried in IKK) than In 1SSU. the saving to the conntv was over Jo. 000. The innovation uf a weekly list proved a great aid in assisting the work of the court. At tornejs were given plenty of time to secure nostponements which prevented cutting down, the daily lists and so interrupting the work of -court. The District Attorney was highly com Iiliniented In-the Court-and attorneys on tha fcuccess of his now departure. The reports were submitted to Judge Stowe and approved by him. Bo expressed himself as greatly pleased with the new system. Tlie Work Done and lb Cost.

A bill in equity was hlea yesterday by the Pittsburg and Southern Coal Company against the Fort Pitt National Bank, J. M. Risher, as signee of L D. Risher, and I. D. Risher. The suit is to compel the delivering up and can celing of a promissory note for $12,000, given by the coal company to L D. Risher and passed to the bank. The bank attached property of the plrimiff in New Orleans and collected more tbn enough for the note.

Hobangh, of Greenville, Pa., and J. M. Cargo, of Rochester, Pa.,were appointed agents of the society for their respective vicinities. President Eaton reported bis trip to the Con vention of Humane Societies ot 'this State held in Philadelphia on February 12. The conven tion was held to prepare a new code of humane laws, which Is to be presented to the State -Legislature next week. The code of. laws was chiefly prepared by the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society. The Philadelphia societies were a little careful about the action they took in the matter. A repeal of all the humane laws was asked for. On this account the so cieties in the East took especial care lest the laws should be passed and their power be les sened. Steps were taken to present a petition asking the Legislature to oppose the passage of two bills now before that body. One oi the bills has been presented by an. Kit county Rep resentative. which, if -passed, will legalize trap shooting in this State. The other bill is one re pealing a law which authorizes Hnmane agents to remove crippled horses from street cars. The committee which presents the new bill to the Legislature will also ask for the noo-pass-ago of the last two bills. In all probability this committee will hold a public meeting at Harris burg during their visit there. Secretary Davidson reported the following contributions: Mrs. L.

A Southsider Drifts to Texas and Starts Bor ing for OIL Charles M. Gearing, of the Southside, who dropped out of this city one day last winter so quietly that for a time none but bis intimate lriends knew what had become of him, appears to have strnck deep root In Brownwood. Brown county. Tex., and evidently intends to grow up with the country. Harry W. Sellers and Will iam Ross have received information that Mr. Gearing is boring for oil, and the Sunset Oil Company is one of the institutions ot Brown county, according to the Brownwood Jiullelin. He is a member of the Brownwood Board of Trade. The people of Brownwood evidently appre ciate petroleum more than do those of Se wick ley, as, when thn whistle of the engine an nounced that drilling was to commence, the people of the town turned out, and, with music, toasting and feasting, celebrated the event ana presented 'the Sunset Oil Company wilh the "bonnie blue flat" of Texas, the flag being 12 feet in length, of the finest silk, red. white and pale blue, with a white star 2 feet in diameter eet in the blue.

She left home dnring the absence of the other members of the family, and has not com municated with them since. They have heard that she has been writing to her former girl companions at Braddock, but the girls them selves deny it. An effort was made to find the girl just after she lett home, but it was given up after a while, and her family have since been vainly homngsne would return. The police will look for her.

Tbe following advertisement, published by a prominent western patent medicine bouse, would indicate that they regard disease as a punishment for sin: "Do you wish to know the quickest way to cure a severe cold? We will tell you. To cure a cold quickly, it must be treated before tbe cold has become settled in the system. This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timely warning and plainly tells you in nature's way, that as a punishment lor some indiscretion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless you cboose to ward.it off by prompt action. The first symptoms of a cold, in most cares,are a dry,loud cough and sneezing. Tbe cough is soon followed by a profuse watery expectoration and the sneez ing by a profuse watery discharge from tbe cose. In severe cases there is a thin white coating on the tongne. What to do? It is only necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double doses every boar. That will greatly lessen the severity of the cold and in most cases will effectually counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two days' time. Try it and be convinced."

A Picture of Panic Stricken Human ity iu a Railroad Accident. JOHNSTOWK'S FATE INEVITABLE. The Song- Birds Are Here Shakespeare Finds Ker Worshipers in Plenty. ABOTJTTOWN WITH THETOPICALTALKEE "Humanity does not show up well in a rail road accident," said United States Immigration Commlsslo ner Layton. "I was in tbe front car of the Fort Wayne train which ran into a land slide last Saturday tight at Kmswortb, and the scene was not calculated to Increase one's re spect for the male biped called man. Such yell ing and rushing hither and thither was there, and some of the men made a good deal more noise and hurried to secure their own safety more precipitately than tbe women. In fact the calmest person I saw was a little woman with a pale, sickly face across the aisle from me. She didn't scream or jump, and when I told her she was safest keeping still she ac cepted the assurance without a murmur and sat there till it was found that for fear of further landslides it would be wise to abandon the first car. I've noticed in railroad accidents as a railroad man I have been in a dozen or two and once was thrown from a treigbt car on the Packsaddlo and landed in a tree unharmed that two kinds of men give trouble. There are the poorly nourished, lean highly-sensitive men, whose nerves get the best of them in time of danger, and the big, lumpy, stunld galoots who get ex cited under similar circumstances and precipi tate a stampede by mere weicht of physical force. The latter class is the more dangerous, of course, and 1 don't remember a case of panic of any kind where theleaders in tho rush, often fatal in its results, have not been mostly men of large physical proportions but small grit." Johnstown's "Watery Fate. "Tbe high water at Johnstown is very re grettable, but I don't see how such events are to be avoided," said J. B. Scott, to whom the title ot Dictator well won at Johnstown year be fore last still clings. "The position of Johns town between tbe Conemaugh and Stony Creek 1 snpli That Gnnrm ,m nnnirnlHahlA rThn f?nn. emaugh comes down from Cresson and the j mountains beyond and joins Htony ureeK, which drains an extensive watershed as far as Somerset, forming the Conemaugh proper. The amount of water which these two streams bring down in a rainy season is far be yond tbe capacity of tbe Concmangh below tho' junction. To remedy this two' expedients are suggested. One is to dredge out tbe Cone maugh. If the depth of the Conemaugh bo doubled how can it carry off an increase of say 20 times tho camcitv of tbe channel, as may be expected in flood timoT Tbe other is to i raise Johnstown six or eight feet. Baislng a ' city six teet is no picayune job, ana it is certain ly beyond tbe means of the inhabitants of Johnstown. But, said someone to me recently Chicago has been raised six, eight or ten feet successfully. That is true, but what may bo accomplished profitably with a commercial center like Chicago is not necessarily within the reach of Johnstown. The only resource of tbe Johnstown people is to keep a close watch upon the barometer and get out of the valley when floods are due," At Shakespeare's Shrine. "The love for Shakespeare is growing among young people in PittsDurg," said Byron W. King, the elocutionist. "I remember the time when it was hard to interest the rising genera tion in tbe works of tbe great bard. Now my Shakespeare class nnmbers over 90. Some peo ple are surprised that when my pupils under take a play tbey choose Shakespeare, but tbe reason is that they are interested in literature and Shakespeare especially, aud their audience is likely to contain those who have the samo desires. The easier plays which might be chosen pleaso neither the pupils nor their parents aud preceptors. Hence the recurrence to Shakes--peare. The dignity of many of tbe amateu.'. actors would hardly allow them to undertake less legitimate drama. For Instance, in a re jected performance of "The Merchant of Ven ice," at Canonsburg. no less than three Doctors of Divinity, a trio ot D. D.'s, were cist Cor prominent parts. The play was not given, bjut tbe high character of the cast is an instance of the general rule." Song Birds Here Already. The mildness of February and March, which last year came on the top of a gentle December and January and coaxed japonicas ana other i trees and plants of like sangulneness into blos soming long before their season, seems likely 1 1 be repeated this year. It may Interest city peo ple to know that since' Friday last the signs of spring in tbe country have been multiplying. On Saturday I saw tbe first robin of tbe season on my own lawn. On Sunday in tho course of a round about stroll through Sewickley I saw three If more robins and beard a blue bird's cheery I song Yesterday the whistle of robins was no j. longer a strange souna, ana j. saw a pairoi mue birds flying from branch to branch in a natch of trees beside tho swollen Ohio. Of course tho red birds are on hand. also, for many of them spend their winters north also. Tbe sweet, short song of tbe oriole was another of tbe spring anthems that I heard while tho warm raln'waji falling yesterday. The Ohio's Jamboree. Since the Johnstown flood the Ohio has'Jnot presented an angrier appearance than it did yesterday. The wreckage was plentiful, in cluding shanties, fences and all sorts of barrels and household debris. It was to be noted, also during the afternoon that tho tide's freight kept to the middle of the stream, a sure Elgn that the river was risintr. At Bellevue tbe piers and quavs and everything connected with tbe dam but the bouse ot tbe lockkeeper were completely hidden under the brown flood. Logs had jammed with other floating material across tbe lock's stnngpiece. and the current dashed so violently acainst this obstruction that the spray rose above it a dozen leet. At Glen- 9 field tbe island which usually stands high and I dry between the railroad and the river, bounded B on one siae Dy ine a.iuouck creex, was aiso clean out of sight. A singular sight was the derrick below Seven-Mile Island, erected a, year ago by some venturesome oil producer,, who thought to strike a connecting link be tween the Coraopolls and Haysville oil pools by sinking the drill through a sandbank almost in mid river. The wafer bad engulfed the boiler bonse and walking beam, and tbe derrick looked marvelorisly frail, a solitary tower besieged by violent foes. The scene at this point was Sven stranger -when night fell and tbe orange flames marking the wells above Coraopolis broadened oat anil shed a glare of light upon the broad wreck-srirewn river rushing noisily among the trees uron its submerged banks. 11.
