THE KEWS OP TIIE COUXTY COURTS
The third branch ot the Criminal Court
was put in operation yesterday withJudge
Porter on the bench. A large amount of
business was cleared up and it is intended
to keep the three branches running ior
about two weeks. District Attorney Bur
leigh did not try many of the cases yester
day, but was kept busy looking after the
business and seeing that it ran along with
out interruption. He called into service
various attorneys to try the unimportant
cases, while Assistant District Attorney
Goehring looked after the more important
ones before Judge Kennedy.
Once or twice during the day the jury
panel was exhausted, and talesmen were
selected Irom the crowd of spectators to fill
up vacancies in order to keep the courts
in motion.
The case of Charles Strain, the Pittsburg,
McKeesport and Youghiogheny Kail road
engineer, charged with the murder of a fire,
man named Stewart, was to have been put
on trial, but owing to the absence of impor
tant Commonwealth witnesses it was post
poned. It is claimed Strain forgot orders
and collided with a train near "West New
ton, and his fireman was killed.
TITO Tear to the Workhouse.
Henry Palmer, the man who ran the
fence on Penn avenue and who was charged
with the larceny of a buggy robe and a set
of harness from Dr. Buchanan, was con
victed and sent to the workhouse for five
years. Palmer was convicted last week of
stealing a typewriter from the Pittsburg
Phonograph Company, and got a year for
that.
An important case is on trial before
Judge Kennedy. Erank Shay is indicted
on two charges of burglary, one pf attempted
burglary and one of felonious assault and
pointing firearms. On the night of August
12 the stores of Herman Bohrkaste, South
Twenty-third and Carson streets, and Samuel
Vereick, Carson street, near Twenty-third,
were robbed, and while defendant was in
the act of breaking into Louis Manning's
place at 2901 Carson street, the police dis
covered him and started in pursuit of him.
It is alleged that he shot at the officers but
was afterward arrested. Attorney Porte is
defending Shay.
J. W. Ansel and his sister, Lida Ansel,
who were charged with the larceny of 51,470
from the house of Ben Breese, at Green
Tree borough, were acquitted. The prose
cution broke down and asked Judge Porter
to instruct the jury to render a verdict of
not guilty. ,
Costs Put on the Commuting Magistrate.
A case was tried in which 'Squire
Hellinger, of McKeesport, again got
worsted. Charles Eeed was charged with
being "implicated in a larceny." Ha was
acquitted, and the Court made an order that
neither the'Squire nor his constable be paid
any costs. Last week the grand jury dis
covered that "Squire Jlellinger was the
prosecutor in a case he had sent up. The
bill was ignored and the costs put on
Jlellinger.
Mike Hotener, charged with stealing a
lot of tobacco and cigars from Mike Sam
berg, in McKeesport, was acauitted.
Matthew Elliott, charged with maintain
ing a nuisance on oath ot H. T. Beineman,
of Soho, was convicted.
Pierce McCabe, charged with the larceny
of $1 50 from Geo. B. Lott, of Clarksville,
pleadad guilty.
AVm. Shumacker pleaded guilty to the
charge of assault and battery on oath of
Wm. Pakulski and was sent to the work
house for a year.
Jerry Cahill, charged with the larceny of
a turtle from James Devinney, "was
acquitted.
Fred Beymer, charged with assault and
battery on Dan Hatzfield, of Troy Hill, was
found not guilty aud the prosecutor ordered
to pay costs.

NO STRIKE IN SIGHT.
Keadlnc Railroad Differences With Etn
p'ojei Satlsfactorl y Adjusted Presi
dent McLeod and Chief Arthur Settle the
Trouble In Conference in Less Thin an
Hour.
Philadelphia, Sept. 13. A conference
was this morning arrauged between Presi
dent McLeod, of the Beading road, and the
Grievance Committee of employes, to
gether with Chief Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers; Wilkins, of
the Railway Conductors, and P. H. Mor
rissey, of the Trainmen, to take place at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
At 1:30 the delegation assembled at the
St. Charles Hotel and prepared for the con
ference. Mr. Arthur was asked at this time
whether he had heard from Grand Master
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, or
President Gompers, of the Federation of
Labor. He replied that he had not.
"Do you expect to obtain their support?"
he was asked.
"I do not see how they enter into the
matter," replied Mr. Arthur. "We have
no business transactions with them. They
have no organization on, these roads that I
am aware of."
As to the outcome of the conference he
declared: "I cannot express our determina
tion any stronger than "this: We will not
submit to the discharge of any member of
the Brotherhood tor such reasons as have
been given in this case."
The conference lasted nearly an hour. At
its close the committee emerged and Chief
Arthur, in reply to a question, said: "All
is satisfactory."
President McLeod appeared and said:
"We had a very pleasant conference; and
found in this case, what I have always
thought and believed, thatwhen two men
get together who are lair minded, and wish
to reach a fair decision it does not take
them long to get at one." He then said
that, ot the three men whose discharge had
formed the grievance presented, one claimed
that he was ignorant of the company's rules
and did not disregard them intentionally.
This man was accordingly reinstated. The
other two it was shown had signed the com
pany's rules and their signatures were
shown. These men were not reinstated.

AFrES LI0.U0E DEALEES.
Application for the Revocation of Two
Whulesale Licenses.
Attorney W. M. Price yesterday filed in
the Quarter Sessions Court petitions for the
revocation of two liquor licenses. The pe
tition are those of Edward B. Hesser, who
asks the Court to issue rules on Hippeley &
Son, the brewers and bottlers, and E. F.
Hodge, wholesale dealer, to show cause
why their licenses should not be revoked.
He charges that Hippeley & Son, who are
located at Nos. 314 and 322 (inclusive)
Spring Garden avenue, Allegheny, in the
con duct of their business have utterly dis
regarded the laws of the Commonwealth
regarding the sale of liquors, and have sold
beer to minors and men of intemperate
habits and in less quantities than per
mitted and have furnished beer on Sunday.
Hodge, who is located at Xo. 2638 Penn
avenue, Pittsburg, it is asserted, has sold
malt liquors in less quantities than 12 pints
and distilled liquors inless than one quart.
The Court granted the rules and fixed
September 30 for a hearing.
Little Anna Waist Pleaded raihotlcally
for Her Mother's Release.
"Don't lock up mamma," sobbed little
Anna Waist, at the Allegheny police sta
tion yesterday afternoon, "lock up papa.
He hit mamma with a chair."
August Waist, the fatherof Anna, a Ger
man mill worker, lives with his wife and
four children in a shanty boat near La Belle
street works. He and his wife quarreled
yesterday, when Waist, as he admits, hit
his wife with a chair. Officer Hally hear
ing the noise and screams of the children
rushed down to the boat and arrested both
husband aud wife, and as there was no one
on the boat to take caie of the children he
took the whole family to the lock-up.
Mrs. Waist says her husband often beats
her, and the many scars about her head and
face confirm her story. She also says
"Waist makes the little ones go out on the
streets and beg. The whole family are
very poorly dressed and what clothes they
have on are in a filthy condition. Waist
was locked up for a hearing this morning,
and the wife and children sent home.
KEHT WANTS TO GET OUT.
The Court Asked to Release Him From the
Central Station. " '
Attorney J. W. Holmes yesterday filed
in Common Pleas No. 1 a petition tor a writ
, of habeas corpus to secure the release of
Christopher Kent from Central station.
Kent states in his petition that he is un
justly and illegally confined in the station
lor no criminal matter whatever. The
Court granted the writ and fixed to-morrow
for a hearing.
Kent is charged in Lakewood, N. Y.,
with enticing, away a girl named Frances
Williams. He was arrested by Detective
Bobinson at the request of Lakewood offi
cials. ,
A ST. LOUIS STEEEI CAE H0EE0E.
Two Killed and Thirleon Injured on an
Electric Line.
St Louis, Sept 13. A terrible street
railway accident occurred in the .southern
part of the city between 9 and 10 o'clock
this morning, in which two people were
killed and 13 injured. It appears that
while a train, consisting of an electric motor
and a trailer car, was coming down a steep
grade, the motorraan lost control of his car
and the train rushed down the grade at
full speed.
In turning a sharp curve, the trailer,
which was crowded with passengers, was
derailed and turned over and the passengers
were hurled in a confused mass to the side
on w hich the car felt Mrs. Barbara Schen
ning was killed and an unknown man was
crushed to death. Miss A. M. Jones,
Adolph Snell, Miss Annie Mose and Bu
dolph Horteman were latally injured.
Procure It Before Leaving: Home.
Three years ago, while I was visiting
relatives at Higcinsville, Mo., I was sud
denly taken with colic and severe pains in
the stomach. My relatives sent to the dos
tor lor medicine, and he sent me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhrea
Eemedy, telling the bearer that if that
medicine did not cure me he could not pre
scribe anything that would. I used it and
was immediately relieved. Henky A.
