John Hnnsinger Sent to the Work house for Illicit Distilling. FOUKD A STILL IN THE WOODS. A "Widow's Suit i gainst the Tartner of Her Dead Husband. TOE KEWS OP 1 HE COUXTI COURTS The October term of the United States District Court opened yesterday with i Judge Bufiingtoa on the bench. In his charge to the grand jury Judge Buffington reminded the jurors that the United States District Attorney was the prosecutor in all suits and that there were no privat prose cutors. The duty of each juror was out lined and they were cautioned that all mat ters must be kept secret The grand jury went into session and in a short time returned true bills against John Hnnsinger, "Wesley Miller and John Bees ior distilling without giving bond and with intent to defraud the United States for tax on spirits, or to put it more plainly, ior making moonshine whisky. As this gave the court something to work on, John Hun singer was at once placed on trial, and it was proven that a still was found on his premises in Colby Township, Sullivan county. The defendant, when placed on the stand, admitted that he had a still on his premises and that he had attempted to make whisky, but the attempt had proven a failure, as his worm was made of tin and would not work. The prisoner denied any intention of de frauding the Government, and said that if his attempt had proven successful he would have taken out a regular license. The Jury Thought Differently. The jury found a verdict of guilty with out leaving the box and the prisoner was sentenced to pay a fine or $500, the costs of the suit and undergo an imprisonment or three months In the Allegheny countyjall. Wesley Miller and John Itees, indicted for the same offense, were next placed on trial. These defendants are charged with running a still in a little cabin built In the woods In Jefferson township, Somerset county. A. JL Schauliz, a farmer who lives near BaKervllle, Somerset county, testified that while driving along the road one day be sighted the little cabin, and on going to it fonnd tnat the occupants were away. In Mde the cabin he found a still and a worm and something had been brewed, which he tasted and found to be some kind of beer, but Just what kind he aid not know. The witness did not see cither of the doiendants about the premises and was not qnite sure as to whether they were the owners or not. On the day that he visited the cahtii the witness admitted that he was on his way to Jacob Hochstetlei's to procure moonshine whisky. This oase was still on UUl when the court closed for the day. . The Grand Jury's Betnrn. The grandjury returned true bills in the case of Edward F. Goller, for taking money from registered letters and then concealing the letters. The indictment allege that Goller was postmaster at Fort Hill, Somer set county, and that on June IS be rifled a registered letter sent by D. Hlnnbaiuu to Ames Whitely, Esq., of Pittsburg, and after wards rifled and concealed letters addressed to the same man, and hid the letters in a soap box, where they were subsequently found. Goller will be placod on trial during the week.

It is alleged in the, bill that the defendant on July 2 presented an order to the postmaster at Mansfield, Pa., and ob tained from him a letter addressed to Thomas Connally, sent from Bally connty, Ireland, which contained a draft for X7. It is alleged that at the time the letter was received Thomas Con nally was dead and the order presented by the defendants and signed Dy Connally was a forgery.
