Tuc Scnsationnl Fading of the Case. Prohnbly a Cunvictiun. On Saturday morning court mum No. 1 was crowded to the tloor.s to licit' the ending of the sensational tiraiul 1V11 tral case. The case Is one of tin' raciest ever tried In thl court, nn J Judiro Lynch was frequently obliged t' order and linally to threaten to have the court room cleared If tin- untimely applause und laughter were nut stopped. The attorney rousted eai-h other's witnesses and added In no m:ill measure to the enjoyment c' .lie c:vwd. The defense, opened by Mr. Sr.-'u. et forth tiiut air. Price did not know tiiat woineu of the class ineiitloiiei Were running to his house, but -Mrs. Klt;W .luoede, the prosecutrix, told hurt isiteil the Urunil i?ehtrl. and to:;' disreputable people In the hulls-'.

As.iln tliei were younger Kil ls, i ot more than 10 to Sit years old. who had visited the lum. for Immoral purpose.!. '.Mayor M.aw; was also on the um! and he e.tvc th hotel a bad name. The defense then put about twenty- five well-known men on the stand, who r.vore that, so far as they knew. Price was a good, respectable man. and con ducted a proper business. The names of these witnesses were Lewis Tisch. lg. Freeman, Sonneborn, the Jeweler; John McUulgan, Dan Shannon. Dr. Eu Irene Butler. Sheriff Whit taker. K. Mar vi:i. O. R. Stock. C. R. Reaves, Patrick Foy, and others who spoke In high liraise of Price and his hotel. The arguments of the attorneys were brief and in plain language. District Attorney Fell did not spare Price, but denounced him vigorously, as kc-tliig a place where none but the vilest per sons of the community would go. Dur ing the part of the argument where lr. Fell denounced Price, the litter's R ife broke down and Wept bitterly. For the defense , John Shea referred to the witnesses who had ctlited Price "with running- an orderly house, and "roasted" Mayor Nichols vigorously. He asked the Jury to uis;haie Price and put the costs cn the iiyr. Judge Lynch's charge v.M:i brief and Impartial, simply statins the law and a brief epitome of ttie te:-ti rwny. Court waited after supivr until 9.30 o'clock, and as the Jury had not then ome In. the verdict will not be rendered until this raoniiny. ABOUT STREET CLEANING. WllkeslSnrrcans Have Nothing to Com plain of on Hint Score. There are people in Wllkes-Barre who compluln about the condition of the paved streets. They are mostly people who do not visit other cities that have asphalted streets, and therefore do not know how little cau?e there Is for com plaint at home. They do not appre ciate the blessings they enjoy. As a matter of fact, there Is not another city In Pennsylvania, whose paved trepts ore as methodically or ns thor oughly cleaned as are those of Wilkes Eanre. Visitors from other and less favored cities note and remark this fact constantly. There are times when the streets are In bad condition, but never when the weather Is such as to permit them to be cleaned. No, Wiikes-Bar-neans have little cause tocomplaln about ttie cleaning of the paved streets. They are habitually as free from dirt of all hinds as can reasonably be expected. They are kept in a clsaner condition than the streets of any other city In the state. . BETTER CAR SERVICE. - Changes in Rnhnlng Schedules. Made to Facilitate Travel.

The Suspected Rclek Murderers' Trlula Postponed Until Pull. On Saturday District Attorney Fell decided not to call the cases of murder against James Fisher, John Robinson and Michael Kearney, who are in Jail -.charged 'With the murder of Barney Keicky until next ' September. The e-afels were down for tria-l "todav hut Mr. Fell 'is not ready to proceed, and 'therefore decided not to call them. It Is f.ild Jhat William Gillespie, attorney for Robinson, Is endeavoring to have Ma client tried In Lackawanna county, but leading lawyers think he will have to be tried in Luzerne, as Die crime of wlit eh he Is suspected was committed In JVilkes-Barre. ' .'. ' Illegal .Shooting. The Lusserne Sportsmen's club la do ing good work In the Interests of Ufrlf ltnate sport, and Warden Campbell has Just taught Charles Van Lewran, of I'll tfi ton, that It Is well at times to obey theH law. Some time agon Van Lew run . shot a doe rabbit with a Ut ter of young ones. It was on' a Sunday afternoon that this icutrage against upoit was committed, and when Mr. Campbell, who is warden of the gun club, heard of the affair he hnd Van Lewran arrested. 'Btiutre Ehret, before whom ho was tried, fined Van Lewran to for killing the rabbit nnd costs. Mr. Campbell has his eye on tho fish dynamiters and on otau- trans gressors against sport, and there will be some surprises in store for these peo ple before ldn rOLITK'AL POINTS.

There will probably be oilier candidates, but It is not known that any ctlurs are actively at work. Mr. Bcgert's brother was appointed pest master during Cleveland's first term, and when he died his widow succeeded him. She served during the greater part of President Harrison's term, which account for Jlr. Landmesser being till In office. Either Mr. Eo gert or Mr. Livingston would man age the postofflce in a Lusltie33-llke way. Tho fact that the county commission era have not appointed a new chief clerk leads to the Inference that when James M. Norria returns, If lie shall be restored to health, he will be per mitted to resume his former place. The commissioners are not saying any thing on 'th subject, but they are doubtless willing to forgive and forget If their old chief clerk shall, when in his right mind, retract his charge .that he and one of ths commi?.loners took bribe money from Architect Meyers. It Is said that Hon. Henry W. Tal mer Is willing to goao the state conven tion as one of the delegates from the Wllkes-Barre district. If he shall re ceive a call. Senator Quay could prob ably not count upon receiving much active assistance from Delegate I'al mer. The principal county office to be filled In Luzerne this year Is that of sheriff, and there will be the liveliest kind of a contest for the Republican nomination. Not les3 than a dozen aspirants will appear before the convention. Th? suggestion made some time ago by a local paper thit thr.se portions of Luzerne which it Is proposed to Incor porate In ithe new county of Quay should not present candidates for office In th eld county, nor even seek repre sentation In the? nominating conven tions, does not nvet with any favor. The lower end Republicans declire their purpose to tske a full hand In Lu zerne politics until the new county nhall he erected, and may even ask for places on the ticket, the same as heretofore.

"But," said one of the guests, smlllnc, Incredulously, "lobsters are not red until boiled." "Of course not," replied the undaunted admiral, "but this was a volcanic island with boiling springs'." 1 "I don't know what you ever saw In me to admire," the fair one remarked de murely. And he answered, "Oh, well, you knew, sweet one, a fellow who Is anything doesn't look for mere beauty In a girl; It's " And now those two heart; that beat as one are doing separate thumps.
