GEORGE W. IS GUILTY.
The Delamater Jury Finds a Stat
utory Embezzlement Verdict.

Will ver Ee Made Good.
KEWS FROM SEVERAL NEARBY TOWNS
rFPICIAI. TKT.TOBAM TO TIT DISPATCH. 1
Meadville, Oct & The verdict of the
jury in the Delamater case, finding the ex
Kepublican candidate lor Governor guilty
of statutory embezzlement, is regarded here
by both friends and enemies of the Dela
xnaters as a merely nominal vindication of
the law. "What little Interest was left in
the case, outside those directly concerned,
was chiefly curiosity to see whether or not
the tactics of counsel for the defense wonld
avail to get the formerly distinguished
client out of the scrape altogether.
Nobody expects that he will ever pay any
penalty for the irregularities of which he
has been convicted. Mr. Delamater cer
tainly does not, and he only seems to regret
that the ugly fact of his conviction must go
on record in the case.
Publiclv his counsel announces that an
appeal ill be taken on exceptions to the
Court's rulings in trial of the case, and to
test the constitutionality of the act ot 1889.
Privately his friends aver that the re
sources for the lati 's delays in such a case
are practically infinite, and that they ,will
be made the most of in this matter. As an
other Jleadville banUer expressed it:
"The legal formality of a conviction is
something in the interests of justice; much
more than the people had reason to hope
for as such things go; and that is all that
will ever come of it."
The jury stood ten in favor of gnilty and
two not guilty when they retired at noon
yesterday, but the two jurors changed their
minds and joined the ten on the above ver
dict The jury reached an agreement at
11:05 o'clock last night, and a sealed verdict
was turned in.

What tho State Alliance and tho Stato
Union Aro Doing at New Castle.
New Castle, Oct 6. Special At the
various meetings of the State Convention
of the "Woman's Christian Temperance Al
liance to-day, Mrs. Vinne Crandall, of Os
ceola, Tioga county, State Secretary of the
Young Woman's Alliance, reported that
the society had expended $3,000 in
rescue work during the past year. It was
decided that in the future more attention
should be paid to parlor temperance socials,
and also to the work ot carrying fruit and
flowers to the sick. The convention decided
to petition the next Legislature for the en
actment of prohibitory statutes, and a com
mittee of five nas appointed to take charge
of this work. The annual election took
place this afternoon and resulted as follows:
President, Mis. II. E. Campbell, Pittsburg,
re-elected: Vice Pieiident-at-I.arge, Miss
Jlary S. Shepherd, Tioga: Corresponding
Secretary, Mis. Ellen M. Watson, Pittsburg;
Treasurer, JIru S. 2L Phillips, West Chester;
Secretary or Young Women's Work, Mrs.
Tmne Crandall. Tioga county, re-elected:
Corresponding Secretary, ilrs." ilary HcEl
vjine, Chester.
To-night an immense meeting was held
under the auspices of the Young "Woman's
Alliance. Mrs. Crandall, secretary, made
her annual report Mrs. Campbell, of
Pittsburg, president of the Senior Alli
ance, addressed the assembly.
This evening the Executive Committee of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
held a meeting in the Methodist Episcopal
Church in this city and adopted a plan of
work for the State Convention that will
open here to-morrow. The "Union and the
Alliance are antagonistic in methods of
work. The former believes in the feasi
bility and moral right of prohibition by
stautory enactment and, to a certain ex
tent, in woman's moral and constitutional
right to the ballot The latter is, in the
main, opposed to the prosecution ot temper
ance work along these lines, or rather, to
making these things incidentals to the
work, and, unlike the Union, has no use for
the Prohibition or any other political party
as an ally in the "cause ot temperance
reform.

pussenger train), had passed. They were
verbally informod Dy operators that section
6 of train No. 78 was to follow train No. 8
closely, but on account or No. 8 being late,
section 6 of train No. 7S passed beiore Xc
h, and they, in a short time alterward, pulled
out on the main track and had not seen Xo.
8 or knew w liether it had passed or not
I do find that the deceased came to their
death by brad-end collision between Xo. 8

ENGLAND VERSUS SCOTLAND.
THE ENGLISH MCSTEBINQ COUHAQE TO AGAIN
MEET THE SCOTCH IN A MATCH.
The following letter to the draughts editor
of the Glasgow Herald and correspondent of
The Dispatch, from the honorable secretary
of tho London Draughts Club, shows that
the English are anxious to meet the Scottish
players in a team match:
I notice In last week's Issue of the Drauohtt
World a suggestion to send 'a team of Glas
gow playera to London at the Xew Tear.
That would make an Interesting match, no
doubt, bnt I think there Is unother match
which would cause more widespread inter
est. Is there any reason why it should not
be England versus Scotland? With the in
terest now being taken in the same thorn
should, be no difficulty in arranging teams I
and supplying ways and means. I should be
glad to hear what tho players think of the
proposal. In London tho feeling is pretty
general that Scotland versus England
should precede Glas"ow versus London.
J. H. Bailey.
There was simo talk at the close of the In
ternational match or 3831 of making the oon
tost an annual affair, but it was soon found
that such would bo unsuitable, if not Impos
sible. There is no doubt our English "breth
ren of the board" would make u much better
fUht than they did then lnaeed, at the Lon
don tourney of 1891 we heard the opinion
pretty confidently expressed that the next
contest would see the victory reversed. Be,
that as it may, Mr. Bailey's letter Is a very
timely reminder on tho subject. The tenth
anniversary (1894) of the first "Interna
tional" has been spoken of as a suitable
year for a second meeting of the kind; but if
an earlier date would be preferred this
should elicit the views of tho players ana
the public. Robert MoCall.

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
George D. Sherrow, checker editor or the
Life, lias met again with a severe loss in the
death of his son, a blight boyol 14 years of
age, on Friday, September 3J. It is only a
few months since Mr. Shorrow lost his wife.
In all this unlictlon ho has our sympathy,
nnd that of all intelested in the game ot
checker-
The "Herd Laddie" takes exception to the
statement in the Melbourne Leader about the
time ho took to some of his moves when in
Australia. On ono occasion, he remarks, he
may have t.iken lihlf an hour, or even more
but that was because, through his op
ponent's slowness, he fell asleep! The day
was oppreistvelv close and warm, his op
ponent was dull and slow; "and how long
they let me sleep," adds Wylllo, "I don't
know; but I ken It was my turn tao movo
when they waukeued me."
Charles Lawson, according to the Provi
dence Journal, has challenged W. H. Wales
to play a match for the championship of
Rhode Island.
The match between Armstrong and Xess
of 10 game, which was played on Saturday,
October 3, 1892, ended in a draw. At the end
of tho sixth game the score stood Xess 4,
Armstrong 1, and ono game drawn; but Mr.
Armstrong was able to even matters In the
next four games. This result has only
warmed matters up, and checkers in that
neighborhood aio at a fever heat. Mr. Xess
was very anxious to continue tho match,
but Mr. Armstrong would not accede to It
and will not play Mr. Xess any more at pres
ent. To those checker editors who have been
crying "fire" about tho $3,000 we will state
that Mr. Harvey L. Hopkins has provided
for it, and it now all rests with the players
of the world as to whether it will bo cariied
to a successful finish or not John T. Denvir,
in Inter Ocean.
The above speaks for itself, and ir Mr.
Honkins has provided, as stated above, the
$3 000 for the prizes, tho country can rest
assured that Mr. Hopkins will fulfill to the
letter all he agiees to.
