He was charged with at tempting to criminally ussuult Mrs. Murtfiuct James. Sine" de:ilred to plead KUilty. but Judge Archbald refused to accept the plea and appointed Attor ney James J. O'Neill as counsel for the young man. Late in the afternoon Mr. O'Neill came before Judge Suvldge and stated that after a careful survey of all the facts In the case he deemed It best for Silieo to pleud guilty. Air. O'Neill then made a statement as It had been told to him. He said that Sinco wus in toxicated and was in a house where Mrs. Jnmes and some other women were. The prisoner from some conver sation that went on was led to make Improper overtures which were re pulsed. District Attorney Jones snld It was entirely different, and he culled Mrs. James before the court to state the facts as they occurred. She said that on September 1f last, she wus going from Cnrbondule ufter making some purchuses to ber home and had occa sion to pass through a small bush. She met the prisoner, who made Improper advances. She screamed a ml 'He caught hold of her dragging her a short dis tance, and then pulled ,a revolver and threatened to shoot her.

Judge Snvldge sentenced the Italian to a term of fifteen months at hard labor and solitary confinement in the Eastern penitentiary. He said he would give him a severe Bentence but for the fnct that liquor might have clouded Slum's understanding. Edward Morse, of Taylor, pleaded guilty to the charge of cruelty to animals and was sentenced to pay a flno of $10 nnd tin costs. He had been nearly three months in Jail awaiting trial. Thomas Carroll, alias McLotlghlln, arrested on S"ptember 4 charged with burglarizing the residence of Daniel Langstaff was discharged.

Councilman Clark, of the Sixth Ward, Is Having an Kstlimito Made. Select Councilman M. E. Clark of the Sixth ward, is having an estimate made of the cost of erecting a retaining wall at Third street. Hellevue. : This street runs along the top of a bluff the crumbling away of which has In one place reduced the street to fifteen feet in width. It is so narrow that but one wagon can puss nt a time. It Is at this narrow point that Mr. Clark would begin his retaining wall and Inter on it could be extended north and south us the city Is able to provide money for the work. Eventuully If this policy was pursued the street would be fifty feet In width- from Broadway south, as the city maps provide It shall be. The improvement Is a necessary and Important one und Councilman Clark thinks he will be able to convince the estimates committee of the justice of his clulm for money to carry on this work. TWO HEROIC TRAMPS. Observed a Mid-Winter Washing Day on the Hanks of the Hearing llrook. Two '"weary Willies" who, remarka ble to say, believe that cleanliness is next to godllness, were arrested yester day in Nuy-Aua: park by the guardians of that breathing spot of the city. The knights of the, road knew that yesterday was "wash day," and divest ing themselves of almost everything In the shape of clothing, they washed their garments In the Hearing Itrool; and then built a fire that they might dry their clothing before again dressing themselves. This fire attracted the attention of the sharp-eyed park guardians and they saw the unusual spectacle of two men posing for what was practically the al together with the cold December wlnus whistling about them. They compelled the washers to put on their tattered garments and go to the central police station, where they spent the night. The Fair nt Kendhnm. On Saturday night at 8 o'clock the grand march In Fallon's hall was wit nessed by seven hundred people from Greenwood, Seranton, Avoca and Plttston.
