Over Admission of Evidence.
In criminal court two of the Uogart
burglars, Frank JJIxler nnd Harry
Johnson, allaa James T. Itellly, were
found cullty In manner and form as
charged In the Indictment, and the
third, Michael O'Neill, who proved
such a strons alibi was acquitted.
I Yesterday's proceedings consisted
I solely of the closing aguments of coun
sel and the charge of court. John T.
Martin made the closing for the de
fense, and Major Everett "Warren for
the prosecution. It was noon when
Judge Gunster finished his charge.
The jury retired and after dinner
proceeded to deliberate. Shortly nf
ter three o'clock the verdict was
reached. O'Neil was called up and
discharged and the other two were re
manded to the custody of the sheriff
to be sentenced Saturday.
In the Olchefski case the taking of
testimony for the defense has begun.
The commonwealth rested at noon af
ter adducing evidence to show that
Olchefskl's properties were insured for
more than their real value.
Before proceeding to the matter of in
surance, District Attorney Jones
fihowed by Frank Bonn, a Lackawanna
saloon keeper that Olchefski came to
him a few days before the explosion
and tried to Induce him to buy a box
of soap, containing one hundred bars.
Bonn did not want the goods but Olche
fski urged him to take them and fin
ally he consented to allow Olchefski
to deliver the box with the understand
ing that he might pay for it when he
saw fit. Olchefski told him that he
was disposing of soap and such goods
In large quantities to all his business
friends.
Then Bernard Haas, who occupied
the blacksmith shop owned by Olche
fski was called to show that Mrs.
Olchefski carried $300 (Insurance on the
building, although It was worth only
$150.
COURT'S RULING.
Court would not admit the testi
mony, however, until the ilnsurance was
first proven. Peter Robllng was called
to testify to tho Insurance from his
ofllcc records but the defendants' at
torneys raised the points that the poli
cies would be the best evidence and
court excluded the testimony.
Mr. Jones stated that Olchefski had
the policies and that the most of them
had been given over to a party In
Philadelphia as security on a $5,000
mortgage, and for this reason the
commonwealth had been unable to get
hold of them. Judge Archbald held
that It was possible to get the poli
kclea and persisted In his refusal to nl-
rw the insurance to be shown from
he bookB.
it to 'bo outwitted however. Mr.
Joi, called Chief of Police Robllng
to tin. 'and and had h'im detail a
conversa. with Mr. nnd Mrs. Ol
chefski in 'h they stated that ihc-y
carried $4,00l -irance on the storo
building, $1,500 o. iweHing. $500 on
the blacksmith sho, d $1,200 on the
furniture of the dwell..
John Power O'Connor, ,he chief's
stenographer, was called to corrobor
a'. the testimony about the conversi
tlrn. He was f,!ing answer from his
short hand notes when couuhp for the
d(ense objected and he was directed
liv court to transcribe them that the
deferifo might use them in cross-examination.
Contractor James Woolsy was called
to testify as to the value of the lnil'.'
Ivts but when it was shown tint his
kt'CA ledge was gained from tho plans
of the builder, Henry Spruks, the evi
dence was excluded.
COMMONWEALTH RESTED.
At this Juncture the commonwealth
rested and Mr. Olver opened for the
defense. He claimed first that Olchef
sl;i was innocent of the crime and that
he was- totally ignorant of what caused
the explosion. It would be proven, he
said, that Olchefski had been almost
killed and the llvt-B of his famllv Im
perilled by the explosion and lire; that
tho kerosene In the bureau came from
two lamps that hud been overturned by
the explosion; thot the furniture had
"been mutilated nfter It was taken
from tho dwelling, presumably by some
enemy, and that gas was escaping in
Mlchalowsky's saloon on tho night of
tho explosion and In all probability
caused It.
Dr. Frank Karmoskl was the first
witness for the defense. He swore that
he was passing the Olchefski building
at the time the explosion took place,
being on his way to secure some medi
cine for h'ls wife. The force of the ex

plosion whirled him firound threo times.
Ho saw a light In the Mlchalowskl sa
loon, but did not notice anything un
usual about tho Olchefski store.
He was one of tho llret to reach tho
Olchefski dwelling and assisted In car
rying out tho furniture. Tho chair
bottoms were not wet.
Vnlen Blnlkofskl, the next witness,
said that wh'on ho rushed Into the Ol
chefski apartments he found Olchefski
lying on the floor in" the children's bed
room. Some plastering was scattered
over Olchefski but there were no
beams or timbers of nny kind pinning
him down. Two kerosene lamps had
been knocked from tho bureau and the
oil had scattered over the bureau and
carpet.
NO KEROSENE.
He helped to carry out tho furniture
and was positive that thero was no
kerosene on any of the chairs and fur
ther that the bottoms were not cut.
Ho saw the chairs at Mrs. Nllch's
when daylight came and tho "bottoms
were cut. Ho wanted to tell that the
chairs had been tampered with In the
meantime but Mr, Jones refused to
have h'lm argue tho case.
The witness thought .to add to the
effect of his testimony by saying that
he was "mad at Olchefski for two
years." Mr. Jones took advantage of
this opening to show that tho witness
had told Mrs. Nitch tho day before,
when she came down from the stand,
that she had shown herself to be no
friend of Olchefski and she would suf
fer for it.
Ho would not deny that he had made
this threat. He could not remember,
he said. He denied having endeavored
to tamper with the commonwealth's
witnesses.
Dr. II. C. Comegys, who treated
Olchefski after the fire, testified that
there was an Inch-long cut on Olchef
skl's head, burns on his neck and left
arm, scratches on his face and bruises
on his foot.
On cross-examination it was elicit
ed that the examination by Dr. Com
egys took place In the attorneys' room
at the court house. Dr. Comegys hap
pened to be In the main court room
on the day following the fire. Mr.
Scragg asked him to examine Olchef
ski and the three repaired to tho at
torneys' room, where the examination
took place.
Dr. J. P. "Walker, of Bellevue, who
was next called, did not give very fav
orable testimony to Olchefski. A slight
abrasion on the head was all that hi
found wrong with Olchefski, excepting
that he was to all appearances suf
fering from shock. The face was
slightly scratched, but It was nothing
serious. Olchefski complained that his
fcot was bruised but the doctor could
find nothing the matter with the mem
ber, and eays that he told Olchefski
ho might "run a race on that foot."
The next morning when he called en
Olchefski he found that he had gone to
town.
MR. SCRAGG'S EFFORT.
Mr. Scragg tried to discredit this
testimony of his own witness by bring
ing out that he was testifying from
memory.
On direct examination Dr. "Walker
stated that he gave Olchefski an hypo
dermic Injection of nltro-glycerlne. Mr.
Jones asked him If he was sure that
It wasn't dynamite. This was fol
lowed by a general burst of laughter
The next witness called was Patrick
Gibbons, a rock contractor, who has
used dynamite for over twenty-live
p,ars. He testified that if fifty-nine
sticks of dynamite exploded In the
Olchefski house there would be na cel
lar or foundation walls left.
On cross-examination he made the
startling statement that dynamite
could not be exploded by concussion.
"I have often hit a stick of it with all
my might against a rock," he said,
and then made the unnecessary addi
tion, "and It did not explode."
His ffforts to make it aDoear th it
dynamite could not have caused the
explosion were ludicrous, the jurors,
even, laughing in derision at some of
his statements. Among other things
he stated was that If a largo stick of
timber was placed over fifty-nine sticks
of dynamite and the dynamite ex
ploded, the timber would not be dis
turbed to any great extent. "Oh, It
would move It a little ways," was his
opinion. Powder would have caused a
wreck such as followed the Olchefski
explosion, he said, and gas might have
done It. but dynamite, the tendency of
which Is wholly downward, could not
have caused such consequences as re
sulted to the Olchefski building.
Editor Daniel Langowskl was on the
stand at adjournment telling how he
went to Mlcholowsky's saloon at 12.15
o'clock on the night or the explosion
to get a glass of beer, and when try
ing the door, which was locked, smelled
gas and saw a light within.
SOME MINOR CASES.
When the burglary trial had been
finished In couit room No. 2 the case of
Edward McN-ulty, charged with hav
ing stolen goods from a fellow news

In the case of the commonwealth
against Albert Price, accused by his

Mlchni'l Kolly, chargpd by A. P. Mc
Donough with assault and battery and
pointing fire arms, was. allowed to go

not being dts.lious of pressing the
charges.

REVIVAL SERVICES
IN ELM PARK CHURCH
Tbe Flrat of the Series Was Held Last
Night.
ADDRESSED DY RF.V. DR. PARKER
Ho Toole lor Ills Text tho Words, "I
Jloseecli You, Thereloro lirothron,
by tho Alcrclei of God, That Yo
Present Your llodics n Living
Sncrlllcc, Holy, Acceptable to Cod,
Which Is Your Itonsonable Sei
vlcc." Last night began a series of revival
eervlces In Elm Park church, which is
hoped by pastor and people may re
sult In great spiritual Interest. Tho
lecture room was filled. Dr. GltHn
mode a few preliminary remaiks after
the opening prayer service and Intro
duced Dr. Parker, a well known divine
of New York city, who although a man
of years, speaks with marvelous en
thusiasm and eloquence.
Dr. Parker is distinguished In ap
pearance with a leonine head and a
ringing voice. His address was direct
ed chiefly to believers and was on the
subject of consecration from tho text,
Romans, xll:l, "I beseech you, there
fore brethren, by the mercies of God
that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which Is your reasonable service."
The speaker g.tvo a strong exhorta
tion to believers urging a dedication
to the faith they have accepted. Ho
declared that every believer Is under
obligation to respond to God's will and
told of a man who once In a meeting
arose 'and declared that he would con
secrate his tobacco to God. Dr. Parker
hod suggested that he give that offer
ing to the devil "but not to his Lord.
God never accepts anything In con
secration that he cannot use. He will
not have it. "Give to Him yourself,
your life, your home, your business,
your purse," said the speaker earnest
ly, "but not a worthless gift."
SPECIAL REPARATION.
Consecration means entire eternal
and special reparation to God. It Is
the assignment of all possession to
Hlrn. It Is not necessary to itemize
consecration, yet if this Is a beneilt to
the believer, it may bo done as it 13 a
life-time sen ice. "TaUo my soul and
body's powers," said Charles Wesley
in beginning the enumerations of his
consecrated ' offerings. Consecration
does not necessarily Mink? hollnoss It
Is a declaration on our part to be f-o
that holiness may come.
The entire sanctiiicatlon belongs to
God. "Be ye not conformed to the
w oiid." Your standard Is a divine nnd
not a human one. God becomes a cen
tre of your life "to Him, for Him, of
Him." With tireless wing you will go
en any errand for Him, ahvnvs glad
to come bark.
You may have done nothing outward
ly gross In the eyes of the world, but
you have done as men do who belong
to the world. There is not that out
waul distinction which should be.
There should be that about you sug
gesting your walk with God. Surely If
this communion with God is suspended
when I welcome a worldly spirit Into
my heart, it Is enough to guard from
such a step.
The great purpose of our redemption
Is that we be conformed to the Image
of the Master. Is not thU worth all
effort, all sacrifice?
WRONG IMPRESSION.
You will not carry the impression
that God's religion is good enough for
Sunday but of little use for every day.
Dr. John Hall was once asked by a
young lady member of his congrega
tion whether 'It would hurt her to go
to a dance. "No daughter," he an
swered. "You've got nothing to hurt,
If you want to dance. The speaker
then said, "God wills your entire sanc
ttfleatlon; do you will It? He approves
It. Do you approve it? Are you free
In God? Not offensively so that you
weary the more sedate and reserved of
God's people.
Too often the Idea prevails that after
conversion, consecration will happen.
Frequently the backsliding of the
young convert Is the fault of the church
because of Its neglect.
Entire consecration means a crisis,
a battle to which the emancipated
soul ever looks back as to Its Pente
cost. It never takes place before con
version and seldom at that time. If
It does not take place, decay and cold
ness are the results. Entire consecra
tion does not mean repentance for
neglected duties and conscious sins.
You must ask God for pardon. After
that once and forever consecration can
be made.
The speaker then called for a com
plete consecration to God and the con
gregation rose In response, after which
all knelt as prayer was offered.
Dr. Grltlln briefly supplemented the
remarks of the evening. After pray
er It was announced that Dr. Parker
would remain here to assist In the
meetings for somo time. They will
continue tonight and tomorrow even
ing, this week.
They promise to be full of interest.

FOR CURRENCY REFORM.
Iloslon Haulier's I'rnlso of the Com
mission's Work.
Washington, Feb. 9. Francis B.
Seara, the vice president of the Third
National Bank of Boston, in a letter
to the secretary of the monetary com
mission, compliments .the commission
on its plan for an Improvement of
our monetary system, and expresses
the hope that all business men will
waive their objection to certain de
tails of the report which may not meet
their views and work "persistently and
energetically together to secure a set
tlement of the currency question on
this basis."
Alfred Ripley, the vice president of
the Hide and Leather bank of Boston,
says; "That the commission, repre
senting so many different sections and
localities, and of different political be
liefs, could unite on so broad and
thorough a measure, Is proof that the
questions are deep and vital and affect
the welfare of all classes and occupa
tions, the country over. And In the
face of such testimony ns to the coun
try's needs, the people have a right
and a duty to demand that something
be done promptly.
ICEMEN RETURN TO WORK.
Operators Yield Conditionally to tho
Doinnnd lor Morn I'ny.
Kingston, N. V., Feb. 9. This morn
ing the workmen who struck at five
of the larse Icehouses just north of
this city, resumed work ns usual, tho
Ice operators having agreed to accede
to their demands for an Increase of
twenty-five cents per day In their wag
es if tho other houses along the river
would grant the Increase to their men.
It Is thought that the 'lco operators
would be willing to pay even higher
wages to their men rather than have
the work of harvesting stopped as all
are fearful of a thaw which would
ruin the prospects of a good crop.
AQAINST TRANSI'ORTINQ INDIANS.

miles In area the Indians now
occupying Annette Island, In Alaska,

vinced that the Indiana should bo per
mitted to remain in undisputed pos
session of their reservation and that
no part should be opened to tho pub
lie. PRICE OP I'lQ IKON ADVANCED.

ALL roil THE LITTLE ONE.
From the Cleveland Leader.
They wero Bitting before a blasirg leg
that lay in the big, wide colonial fire
place. After a long sllonco she ask't):
"Do you ever see plctuic In the leaning
Haines?"
"Yes," he said, In low, carnunc tones;
"do you?"
"Sometimes," she slghel. "What are
the pictures that most often appear to
you?"
"There Is n maiden's face," ho tremb
lingly returned, "that I can see when I
am alone a face with large, soulful ejes,
and lips that I would give my soul to
kiss."
The flame died down, and slender shreJs
of gray smoke curled up Into tho chimney.
Outside, tho wind shrieked and Mvapt
stray plnheads of hard snow against tlio
panes.
She leaned over a little nearer to him
and looked longingly Into his face.
He was thinking of tho wife' who had
put her arms around his neck, when she
lay upon her deathbed, and mndo him
promise never to take another in her
place. He thought, too, of the mother
less little one at home, in Its crib, and
then he looked at the sweet, wistful face
that was turned toward him the tace
that was ever before him in his dreams.
Ho arose, and she also stood up. Some
how her little lingers had found their
way Into his hands.
The wind moaned as If it had been the
voice of a lost soul. A shiver passed
over him from head to foot, and he looked
around as If he expected to see the re
proachful face of his dead wife but she
wasn't there.
So, in time, tho little one In the crib
at homo was taken In hand by a step
mother, and the wind ceased to have a
monopoly of tho shrieking business In
those parts.
The Roys Ilrlprd the Senator Out.
Senator Joo Hawley, from Connecticut,
wanted to get up town from the capltol
on Thursday, writes the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Press, and,
unable to get a seat In a strpet car, pro
posed to two newspaper friends that
they all chip in and hire a cab. "I can't
afford to pay J1.50 for the ride," he said,
"but I'll got a half with you fellows. '
Of course the boys helped the senator oct
by chipping.
