Sentences Are Tawed Upon a Number of liinor Offenders. THE NEWS OP THE COUNTY COURTS John B. Murphy, John Glean, Frank Donaldson, Henry Kornman and Samuel McClure, charged with embezzlement, were tried before Judge McClung and acquitted yesterday. The costs were placed ou the prosecutor, John McKirdy. The charges grew out of the nse by the defendants of the so-called "front office fund." District Attorney Burleigh was assisted by D. F. Patterson, while J. Scott Ferguson and City Solicitor Elphinstone defended the accused. The latter made a personal statement as to why he appeared, saying it was under instruc tion of the Finance Committee of Alle gheny, but he asked Sir. Patterson to say whether hi presence on the aide of the de fense would in any way jeopardize the case of the Commonwealth. Mr. Patterson said he had no objection and the case was pro ceeded with. Mr. Patterson opened the case, saying that the defendants constituted the front office force in Allegheny. Previous to 1883 they were entitled to fees and the funds were equally divided among the force. In 1833 an ordinance was passed fixing their salaries, and no fees were allowed under it. But the habit of collecting and dividing the fees went on and these defendants continued to divide it. Con-iiy rontrol'r Grler T s'lfl-n. County Controller Grier was called first. He described the manner in which the officers obtained the warrants for commit ments during tiie administrations of Mayors Pearson and Wyman. The warrants were alv ays made out in the name of the Mayor but collected for the treasuier by some of the force. No sucn warrants are issued to the lorce of either city. None have been issued to Allegheny officials since last (all. The ordinance passed iu 18S8 required all city officials to pay into the city treas ury all moneys collected at least every du duvg. It was offered in evidence and the Commonwealth rested. Mr. Elphinstone opened for the defense, Raying that some recent prosecutions in Al legheny had been proper, but the present case was certainly improper. "The aot of these defendant'," said he, "was in pursu ance ot a custom win en hai been carried on lor 20 years. Our defense is that this money was used in good faith. The intent is the es-ence of the crime in this case, and when we show the intent was honest, the crime fails." James Hunter was the first witness for the defense. He said he had been a mem ber or Councils for 14 years. He started to tell why the ordinance of 38,83 was passed hen an argument arose oer the relevancy of the testimony. An oojectiou was made on the ground that the delense was trying to show that the ordinance meant something else than what was indicated by its plain reading. Judge McClung sustained the ob jection, sajing that the ordinance could not hjve two nieauicgi-. "If you shotr me that thep men were told by Allegheny city to take the money, all right," said he. Hi" Ordinance Had llfien lt-.po.ilwl. Mr. Ferguson "We can't do that, hut this ordinance, so far as it relates to the fees, has been repealed. Mr. Patterson argued that it was an un heard of thing to attempt to change the plain meaning ot an act or ordinance by tome verbal explanation. The objection was sustained. It was then proposed to show that when the ordinance was prepared in its present shape, the defendants applied to the com mittee to ascertain it this ordinance in cluded fees received from the county, and were told that it only included those paid them by the city. 'This offer was also ob jected to and the objection sustained. The ofltr was renewed in a different shape and again ruled out, after which the witness was withdrawn. John Glenn was then called and occupied the stand until after the noon recess. He remembered the passage of the salary ordi nance, prior to which they were paid $2 and fees. Alter the passage of the ordi nance they received fees only on county rases, workhouse and jail commitments. These fees were collected monthly and placed in a common fund, which was used lor stationery, telegrams, attorneys' fees and for sending officers for men out of the citv. There was no secret about the matter. All the city officials knew the money was collected and used in this manner. Chief Murphy was called and his testi mony was substantially the same as that of Mr. Glenn. Ex-Chief of Police Samuel Long testified that this custom had been in vogue in 1861 and 18(35. Instructed fh Jury to Acquit. Mr. Ferguson then put the ordinance passed in Februrary " 1892 in evi dence for the purpose of showing that the officers were entitled to the costs and to show the construction placed on this right by City Councils. This closed the testimony. Mr. Ferguson asked the Court to instruct the jury that the ver SAVED BY WEITTEN FOR THE LIEUT-COL. ANDREW Eepjrle Gaseoigne and his wife were traveling throughont the winter and spring one year while he was on leave from his regiment, stationed at the other end oi Nowhere He was a eood-looking fellow, with a face which used once to be sunny and bright, hut which was now always more or less clouded with a shade of melancholy, caused Dy the fact which more and more impressed itself upon him, that his wife, an estimable woman in her way, was totally nnsuited to him. He had made the mistake of imagining liking was love, and, years ago, of marry ing in haste, between two campaigns, an empty headed little noodle who had not even good looks or money to recommend her. And he, an ambitious man at the out set, agood soldier and an intellectual fellow, became as the years rolled on more and more disgusted as he found his wire ever far more interested in learning that Mrs. A. was related to the Marquis ot B. than if his regiment was likely to be again ordered off on active service, or far too much wrapped up in her yellow backed French novels, ever to have time to listen to him, if he wished to disenss rationally the prospects of an ap proaching European war, or some other momentous question of the dav. So although he went about with her, ahd did his dnty by her too, like a gentleman, he drifted by degrees farther and farther away form her in his heart, and sought In the society of other women the solace which he failed to find in his wife. He was no tan unprincipled fellow, but he had no sense dict should be not guilty. There had beta no title to the money collected traced to the city of Allegheny, and even if they did use the money the .most the defendants could be held" for would be for a breach of contract. Judge McClung intimated that he coin cided with this view of the case, and then Mr. Patterson tried to overthrow this be lief. Judge McClung ruled that there eould be no embezzlement unless a title had been traced to the citv. This Mr. Patterson ad mitted could not be none. The Court ihen instructed the jury that the verdict should be one of acquittal; that there had been no fraudulent intent shown, and that it was not sufficient to show merely that the offi cers had failed to turn over certain costs. "Thev are public officials," said -he, "and should be held to a strict responsi bilitv. I believe it is a good thing to turn things upside down once in a while and let in the light. The public is interested in this case. These pub lic investigations are a benefit, ana, taking this view of the case, I think it would be proper to place the costs on the county." The jury wasv out over an hour and re turned a verdict of not guilty, but put the costs on Mr. McKirdy. A CHICKEN BOMBARDMENT. Morel Defense of a Woman Charged With Malicious Mlnchler A.

O. r whatever of religion. It is not, therefore, io ne wonaerea at tnat wnen at lengtn a temptation strong enough to he worthy of the name came in his way, Beggie not only fell to it, but rose greedily to meet it, like a salmon rising at a fly that be is deter mined to have, no matter if to intercept It he may run the risk of being hurried helter skelter down an adjacent waterfall. Yell, Beggie and his wife had been stay ing for some time in the magnificent "Hotel Nothing," situated as evervbody knows amid the beautiful scenery in the mountains of Toman's Land, and here he had met the two Miss Vavasours, the elder of whom was t raveling for her health and the younger, Edith, traveling apparently simply to undergo the whims and fancies of her sister, whom perpetual illness had turned into something of a tyrant. Edith was about 6 and 20, but though thus completely a woman in Years, and an intelligent woman too, she nad retained all the lissome gracefulness of a young girl of 17. She was in fact one of the most elegant of a young, well-bred Englishwoman it is possible to meet. She was not a striking beauty in any other sense of the word, al though her rather large, bnt by no means sensual mouth, was perfect in shape, and hetteeth beautiful in whiteness and regu larity. But her dark brown almost black vivacious eyes, her silky dark brown hair, and the healthy tint of her skin, all com bined to make her a more than usually at tractive looking brunette. So thought Beggie Gascolgne, and he fell in love with her front the first moment he set eyes upon her. They were very soon au mieux, but she was a young lady with religious principles, one who always called morning church "matins," and believed also u the direct interposition of Providence, la our dally mission to the bar. Fourteen were on pre liminary and 17 on final examination. The task will take several days. HEED HOT PAY TAXES. A. Bridge Company Gains a Tlctorj Over ibe City. - Judge Collier yesterday handed down his decision in the stated case between the Monougahela Bridge Company and the city of Pittsburg. The case was filed to determine if the Bridge Company should par city taxes on a strip of land adjoining the Smlthfield street bridge on the Monongahela wharf.

An order was issued a few days ago by Director of the Mint Leech to Colonel Bosbyshell, Superin tendent of the Philadelphia Mint, to have coined at once 100,000 silver half-dollars, for use in Washington during the Grand Army encampment This is a supplemental order to others given for a large amount of dimes and five-cent pieces to be minted for the same purpose. Treasurer Nebeker has ordered an unusually large amount of small notes, such as one, two and fire-dollar bills, to be prepared by the Bnrean of Engraving and Printing. The purpose of having the great snpply of-new coins and Treasury notes on hand is to enable the vis itors in the city at the time ot the Grand Army encampment to exchange the worn out and filthy small change and bills they are likely to bring with them tor something clean and handsome. The merchants and others of the city have been notified that they can get new money with which to make change while the veter ans are ' here, so that the latter can take home with them some practical souvenir of the Capital City. The idea is not only to benefit the veteran, but to get In a lot of worn-out bills that in the natural course of circulation would not reach the Treasury for months and years to come, and in the place of them to get into circulation all over the country new, clean money. SEWER QAB KILLS THEEE MEN. They Meet Their Deaths In Quick Succes sion at a Street Basin. Jersey Citt, Sept. 12. Three men lost their lives in a receiving basin of a sewer this afternoon. A gang of men had been cleaning out the sewer basins. They had met no unusual tronble till they reached the manhole where the fatality occurred. Foreman Yolanski descended a ladder into the basin, which is about 12 feet deep, but the instant he reached the bottom he shrieked and threw up his hands implor ingly. The workmen dropped a rope to him, but when by its aid he had nearly reached the outlet he let go the rope and fell back upon the sewer bottom, remaining there in a sitting posture. Thomas Kane went down to Vounski's rescue, and the gallant effort cost him his life. With a cry of suffering he collapsed and dropped upon Volanski, his face falling Into the filthy water. Ed ward McNally then went down, and he, too, was overcome. McNally was finally brought out, but was then too far gone and died within two or three minutes.

She was, however, ex ceedingly good natured, and took him out, in consequence, sometimes for walks through the pretty pine woods whioh Dleased him greatly, notwithstanding the fact that she never omitted to reprove him for his wickedness and misbehavior, if when to gether reposing under the grateful shade of the sweet, scented syringa bushes, he some times forgot himself so far as to take hold of her hand and gently press it with a pressure that spoke volumes even in the short time he was able to retain it within his grasp. But the more the lady resisted, the more Beggie became pique au jeu, es pecially as the resistance, although no doubt genuine, yet was, owing to her mani fest liking for him, somewhat of the "get-away-nearer type in its general features. But the night before he was going away, Beggie felt wild; Edith had told him not to compromise her, and said that it was wrong of him to pretend to like her, and asked him not to come and sit with her all the evening as he usually did; she had more over been particularly careful ot les con venances all day. This had annoyed him." He therefore went, and by way of taking a little revenge talked throughout the evening to a parson's daughter, a very pretty girl, whom he had hardly ever notleed before, except for her good looks, and for the Miss Vavasours say ing they did not like her. But now, to his surprise, be found that this young lady was to use a slang term, "as fast as they make them," very jealous, moreover, of the ad miration Edith Vavasour, whom she hated had always attracted, and of her elegant lady-like ways that made her attrac tive. In fact, now that at last, though late in the day, she had got her own innings with the handsome soldier, she determined to make the most of it Elsie Brownlow was, as well as being naughty and good looking, a remarkably well-read and amusing girl, so although the whole time that Beggie was listening to her certainly rather startling conversation, he was inwardly making comparisons to the disadvantage of the parson's daaghter, be tween her and the religious, lady-like and refined girl whom he felt he so madly loved. He managed, however, to pass the .evening i cijf giKtt.v u no Bwioi. at sne same time he had the satisfaction of feeling that although he was obeying Edith in keeping away from her, that ret, it she had a spark ABI AT THE FAIR.' Why No Time Should Be Lost In Sending In Canvasses The Picturesque West. "The Impression, prevailing to a greater or less extent, that the mountainous parts of the great West are comparatively barren of color is not correct," said Mr. John W. Beatty, the artist, who is one of the national Judges of art for the World's Fair, and who has just returned from a trip to the Far West. "Even the Bad Lands of North Dakota ate wonderfully interesting and full of sub dued qualities of color, while the mount ains of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo rado and Utah' are simply charmlmg in their wealth of harmonious color schemes and massive forms. "On the mountain side, which at first sight seems barren, is to be found a be wildering assemblage of wild Sowers, their varied tints mingling with the delicately tinted gray-green sage bush, which is itself beautiful in color. Underneath this maze of color and delicate form are the browns, reds, grays, gold and green of the massive rock formations, and what is to the careless observer 'mighty bad land,' becomes to one who cares to look closely a perfect revela tion of beauty and strength, expressed in form and color. "The World's Fair Art Building is cer tainly one of the most beautiful, as it is one of the most favorably located, and is rapidly approaching completion. Our artists should lose no time preparing can vases to be submitted to the Judges, as all pictures are to be in the bauds of the com mittee within 90 days." Free Corn and Beans for Mexicans.

JatOT-rrfl of affection for him, and he believed she had, she would not in the inmost recesses of her heart be at all pleased at this particular way he had chosen of carrying out her corn man ds. And this was perfectly true. As the evening wore on, and as even when she sang most beautifully the "two songs she knew she'sang" best, Beggie did not come over to the piano to pfbise them, Edith,too, in spite of her ever strong sense of the pro prieties, began to feel that this, the last evening, was thoroughly spoiled for her, and to hate that horrid little girl whom she had told Gascoigne already that she thought bad form, and whom he knew she always avoided when she could, So she went and sat down beside Beggie's frivolous wife, who only made things worse by chaffing her, rather good naturedlv, about her husband's evident desertion of her for the parson's daughter, and by add ing in a soothing voice, "but -never mind his infidelity, my dear Miss Vavasour, for in all probability he will have forgotten both the Nothing Hotel and all its inhabi tants in anotner week; men are such brutes you know." And then, as Mrs. Gascoigne began disousslng whether the lady who had just taken her seat at the piano was the first or second cousin of Lord Dontnohoo, Edith left her, thinking what a pity it was that Beggie had ever married such a woman, and went and sat once more alone with a book that she could not read. She was thinking of going off moodily to bed, when Lord Dontnohoo's consin struck up'a waltz. In a moment dancing began, and Edith felt partly avenged when the parson's pretty aaugnter did not get on at all well with Beggie. Now she harself, as her willowy figure betokened, danced di vinely, and when a few minutes later Gas coigne, having left his little flirt, was glid ing delieiously over the floor with Edith in his arms she felt indeed her triumph was assured completely. But Beggie, too, felt a sweet thrill of exultation when the jeal ous tones' on which she began attack ing him for passing- the evening "so very agreeably with Elsie Brownlow, showed to him, for the first time, that he was something more to Edith Varasour than a mere ordinary friend. During that waltz, after the explanation had taken place, she unbent to him more than she bad ever done hitherto, and (ai Beggie too now felt her warmly returning his band clasp, he pressed closer to Mia UrTlleaome, rv 'few Wmm 13 BUi NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

As the dance ended, there was, he per ceived, au unnusual tenderness swimming over her expressive dark eyes. With an involuntary sigh, she said: "So you are off early to-morrow and this is onr"goodbvl But no, we won't say goodby here, but if you will follow me up stairs I will return that album you lent me, and we can say goodby there. " Beggie felt a thrill of joy pass through him at the invitation, such an unusual one for Edith to make, but as the eldest Miss Vavasonr was now just commencing to play another waltz, first one and then the other left the room. He joined her outside,for the was waiting, and accoumanied her ur- ttairs and down the long corridor which led to her room, which, by-tne-bve, had in one corner a communicating door with he.r sis- be. a iuuui, nuiuu n as luc uuo ucyunu It, further down the corridor. Edith went into her open room, which was partially lighted by the solitary gas in the long corridor, and Beggie boldly followed her in, while she, in an agitated kind' of way, began to look tor the book, which she oonld not find. "I cannot find it," she said at last, com ing close to him, "but we must say good by now and you must go. lam so'sorry." And she held out her hand. He siezed it. and held out to her his other hand which she also took, and the pair remained tor a minute thus, clasping each other's hands and gazing into each other's eves in the half light of the partly closed door. Then Budilenly carried away by the witchery of the moment, his right arm was round her ana noiamg ner willowy graceful figure to himself, and although she strove to turn away, with his left" hand to her shapely head, Beggie pressed to his own that beau tilul mouth that he had so often longed to approach while adoring from afar. And, despite the muttered exclamations of "Ohl how you disappoint met Ohl I never dreamt you would treat me like this. Ohl I thought ynu were different." Beggie dis tinctly felt upon his own lips that she had returned at least one of his kisses. Presently he released, her. and she half sobbing, began to reproach him, while he protested what he really felt, deepest, nost passionate love and eternal devotion. He urged her to fly with him and make happy a miserable man she talked abont wicked. ,'ness, and urged him to leave her at once, 1 CLOAKS A! suns NKVT ADYEBTiaSMBHTS. HOUSEKEEPERS, HALT!

"Not at all," said Beggie. gently closing the door, and, oh 'imprudence! locking it And as the steps died away once more, he enfolded her again in his arms. And then in the dark room where no one could see her blnshes, Edith the beautiful, the virtu ous, the sweet girl, forgetting all her rellg iout scruples, all but her present momenta rily increasing passion, nestling in the arms of the man whom she knew loved her, returned him with her beautiful tender mouth, all the embraces sue was receiving. And as she now felt her soft hair being ten derly stroked by a strong hand, a sensation ot peace and happiness stole over her such as she nad never before experienced. And she whispered that she too loved him. Even in a dark room, with locked doors. however, a woman, to whom real virtue has hitherto ever come naturally as the breath of life itself, does not instantly throw away all scruples to the winds. But perhaps Edith Vavasour micrht have been even now in some distant part of the world living with Beggie Gascoigne a life of lawless love, but for an incident that supervened. The door handle was suddenly heard to turn sharply, and as it would not open a querulous voice was heard exclaiming: "Edith! EdithI when are you coming down again? You know yon promised to sing 'Kosabelle' to Lady Kantfinder, and she has been waiting this last half hour. "What's the matter with you? "Why don't you answer? Come and unlock the door at once." , Edith was trembling so much in her lover's arms that she had apparently quite lost all power of speech. "Answer that you are well and are lying down." he whispered. Edith did so, and her voice seemed to come from the right direction. "Well it is very vexatious of you," ex claimed her sister, eommeneing to move off, to the infinite relief of the guilty couple. But as Edith in a paroxysm of delight threw herself once more into Beggie's arms, telling" him that now he must really go, the sister was heard coming back again.
