Then the Judge lead this special find ing: THE SPKCIAL- FINDING We llnd that Helena Otchefskl. the owner of tho dwelling, named In the in dictment was, at the time of the burn ing of the panu the defendant's wife, and was then and there In the Joint pos session and occupancy of the said dwell ing with tho defendant. Leon Olehefskl, and that the said defendant did ma liciously, willfully, volunturlly and fe loniously bet fire to and hum the said dwelling In maiinei nnd foim as charged In the Indictment, and If tho court shall be of tho opinion, as matter of law, that is sufllclent to constitute the crime ot lelonlous arson, then we find tho saii defendant guilty thereof, in manner and fotm as chaiged hi tho indictment, but If the couit shall be of tho opinion that this is not sulllelent to constitute tho said crime of felonious arson, then we llnd the said defendant not guilty thereof. "Lot me add to what I have said," ontlnued Judge Aichbald. "that I do not Intend to control you In this mat ter and cannot control you: It Is for jou to say w bethei jou will return Just the general erdlct which you have suggested or whether you will return a special verdict In the manner I have 'said to you. If you desire you may adhcte to a genetal vetdlct or make Uio return such as Is suggested," Judge Aichbald explained at length the slsnlflennce of the special erdlct 11 nil asked them to consult together ns to whether or not they would find as he suggested. They retired and after llfleen minutes' deliberation returned and announced that they would agiee to the special finding Then Judge Aichbald said: JOMI3THINO OVL'RLOOKHD "Since you letited my attention has been called to the fact that the Indict ment contains three counts nnd that tho first two only charge the offense of felonious arson, that the other harges under a statute which we have the unlawful, malicious and feloni ous placing and throwing In, Into, up on, acainst and near a certain build ing, to wit. the store and dwelling house ot one Helena Olehefskl, a cer tain quantity of gunpowder nnd other explosive mixture, to wit, a certain .

If you returned a general ver dict of guilty In manner and form ns charged In tho Indictment, that would cover all that Is charged In It. "If you should make a special finding It seems to me your special finding should ho confined to the first nnd second counts only, leaving your gen eral finding to stand as to the third count If you so desire. So under these circumstances I would advise that you limit your special finding as to tho first and second counts, In this way making' a return of n general verdict and then a special finding. And as to tho charge of felonious arson, con tained In tho first and second counts In tho Indictment, we And ns follows: That presents the matter In a Ilttlo t different fotm than what I said to you a few moments ago. I do not want to Impose too much upon you, but simply guide you. This Is all for the puipose of more fully protecting the rights of the de fendant, but the whole thing Is within your control and must be your own adoption. You may take the sugges tions of the court, but the verdict as lendcied must be your own." Foiemnn Allen addressed the court, and said: "Well, your honor, It seems to be the opinion of the Jurymen that this man Is guilty, or was the cause of that lire, and the Juiy do not think It would be Just to allow this thing- to be thrown out on a little technicality, and we want to lender a verdict which Is on tlrely ptoper. We don't know Just how to do It." Judge Arcbbald "Well, in making theo suggestions I do not want to Impose anything upon you at all. If It fseems best to you that you should te tutn just a general verdict of guilty or not guilty, and you think that Is the simplest wav to dispose of It and the best way, why that would be entirely satisfactory to the court " At 2 SO the Jury letumed and handed up the following. ' We find the defendant guilty In manner and f 01 111 as charged In the fit st nnd second counts of the Indict ment and not guilty as chaiged In the thlid count." They Indicated that they did not want to have anything to do with the special finding. If Olehefskl escaped on a technicality It would be no fault of thelis At tho lequi'st of Mr. Sciagg, of coun sel for the defense, the Juiy was polled and all acquiesced In the verdict The Juiois wete then discharged with the thanks of the couit. SENTENCES IMPOSED. liogurt lliirglnrs W III Co In the Peni tentiary lor Long Terms. Judge Ounster on Saturday sentenced Fiank niler mid James T. Rellly, the Hogait bin glats, Hlxler lecelvlng slv yeais and three months and Hellly tluee yeai.s and thiee months in the l'astein penitentiary. Leniency was shown Iteilly because of his youth. In the case of Hairy McL.iln und Charles Haendlges, the boys who plead guilt of robbing seveial central city stoics, Judge Edwni'Js announced that sentence would be p'dstponed until the next teim of court, pending imestl gatlons which me being made The frame action was taken In the case of the shopllftets. Frank Sniffer, who confessed to petty forgeries, was called up and after a lecture was allowed to go, court an nouncing that sentence was suspended. AVhen Mis. Kmma Stephens was called up to be sentenced for the costs placed upon her In the case In which she was piosecuted for keeping a dls leputable house. Judge Ounster said he was sui prised that she had not been convicted, ns the evidence cleat ly war 1 anted It. The Jui, he said, doubtless ly took a merciful view of the case and she should profit by It. The Juiy In the case of Cornelius Ituddy, chaiged by Pattlck Kelllher with felonious attempt to kill, leturned a verdict of not guilty. IN COURT THIS WEEK.

LOUIS IIo llns Words of f.rant Pralso tor tho Ofllcers ol tho Two Oconu Liners Who Superintended tho llcscuo ol 212 .Souls Without nn Accident. (J Ives n New Version of the Cnuso of tho Disaster. President C. H. Zelmder, of the Dick son Manufacturing compnny, who reached Scranton Saturday evening from Europe, was a passenger on board the American line steamer St. Louis and witnessed the thrilling lesctie of 212 passengers nnd crew from the steamship Veendnm, of the Holland American line. He and Mrs. Zehnder wcie on their return home from a trip which began Immediately after the hol idays. At the Hotel Jermyn last night Mr. Zehnder readily consented to be in terviewed by a Tribune reporter In ref erence to the rescue. "People can say whut they will nbout discipline, milltaiy and of other klniH but let me testify right here that no discipline can be 11101 e perfect and ab solute thin that which I have Just observed on tho St. Louis and among the heiolc Holland officers of the Veen dam From what I saw personally on the former vessel and from what I heard almost fiist-hand concerning" the Veendam's crew, I shall always have the Rreatest admiration for the men who h'old In their hands the lives of thousands of helpless souls crosslm? the Atlantic. Nobody could hear fiist-hand the story of thenccldenttothe Veendum nnd of the subsequent Incidents uboard her and see the final rescue of her human fielght and not lxiw beforo the Kreat ability, bravery and strength of diameter possessed by those In com mand of the big ocean liners. CAUSH OF DISASTER "The New l'oik ii"wspapeis and the dispatches do not give the cause of the accident a.s we understood It aboard ship. It Is published that the Veen dnm ran Into a sunken wreck. That Is untrue accoidlng- to statements made by the officers. We were told Capt. O. Stengei, of the Veendam, said It that about G o'clock In the afternoon the propeller Hew off and the non-resistance to the engines caused them to 'run away.' Something had to break. It was the connections between the cranks and the huge shaft. Befoie the engines could "be stopped the whirling steel pounded holes In the ship's bottom as easily as though It had been made of egg-shell. CTjf course, toi rents of wat er poured Into the bollets and put the Hies uut What followed Illustrates the llttei helplessness of a shipload at sea. "Of the 21- passengers all weie steer age but foui. OHlceis weie put In the tteeutgo to keep tho passengeis theie from becoming panlc-stilcken. They veie given absolutely no paiticulars of th'e accident nor weie they allowed to go to bed. As soon as It became ap parent that the 01 ew was Insufficient to work the pumps the male steerage passengers were pressed Into service. A sea anchor made of a huge spread ot canvas was diopped and kept the vessel's nose against the waves and made her ride easier. "Captain Stenger calculated fiom the Use of water In the hold that he could postpone for tweHe houis n de Bel tlon of the ship. There were not enough boats to accommodate the pas sengers and all the crew, so lots weie diawn to determine those of the crew who should man and command the boats and leave with the passengers In case help did not an He. Those who remained weie to take chances on es caping on lafts and with llfe-preserv-01 s. The water was gaining so fast thut a sulllelent number of seamen could barely be spared to prepare the boats with provisions and Instruments. WERE ON THE WATCH. "They were on the watch for the St. Louis, which was sighted about I o'clock Monday morning. Rockets had been fired at Intervals since daikness began and cannon shots were added to the signals of dlstiess when tho lights of the St Ijmls were seen. Cap tain William G. Handle was In com mand of the American liner, which was stopped about a mile abreast ot the Veendam and was kept steady by o .sea anchor of the same type as was used bv the cilppled boat. "Soon a boat fiom the Veendam ap peared at the side of the St. Louis. It contained Captain Stenger, who told Cnptaln Randle of the accident. They eonfert ed a moment as to the means of rescue nnd Captain Stenger was rowed back to his ship, followed by the boats of the St. Louis, each manned by ten oarsmen nnd an officer, who was steeisman. 'The fit st being swung over the rail of the Veendam Into a St. Louis boat was a 6-months-old baby. When the boat contained sixteen babies and chil dren nnd three women It wns lowed to the St. Louis. The remaining boat loads each contained sixteen adults. All the passengers were Hist tians feired Captain Stenger and tho ship's surgeon were the lost to leave -the w reck "Captain Stenger's final act was to set fire to the ship, as the drifting hulk would have been a menace In those waters. Only a little over three houis wasi lequlred to transfer all the pas sengeis. We lost Just four hours from tlfe time the St. Louis stopped until Phe started awny. In that time we drifted to over two miles away from the Veendam. Her stern had settled peiceptibly and the bow wa.s almost out of the water. The St. Louis started quickly away after Captain Stengei got aboard. It was quite a while be fore the flames buist fiom the Veen dam's hatches and compantonwuys, but the light In tho sky could be seen until after daylight. HEAVY SWELL RUNNINO. "One lemai liable featuie of the In cident was that not even the most trivial kind of nn accident happened during the rescue. The sea was not broken, but a very heavy swell was running and the boats 10.se and fell many feet and pointed their noses In all directions while In transit between tho two steamers nnd at the Bteamers' Bides. One man while being lowered over the Veendam's rail had the lower part of hla legs wet by a heavy swell, but that Is the only cose of wetting I know of." Mr,, Zehnder made the European trip for needed relaxation from business. He left heie on the Normanla of the Hamburg-American lino and visited Gibraltar, Italy, Austria, aermany, Switzerland, Franco and England. In Germany he found more evidences of commercial thrift than In nny other country ho visited. At Diesden, Mi. Zehnder met Judge A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION Tor the Cum ofl'lloB, Is not only Intensely painful, danger ous to llfo nnd very expensive, but In the light of moelcrn medical research and since tho discovery of tho Pyra mid Pile Curo a surgical operation Is wholly unnecessary. If you liavo nny doubt on the point kindly rend tho fol lowing letters from people who know that, our claims regarding tho merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by tho fncts. From N. A. Stnll, nidge Hoad, Niag ara Co., N. Y.: I received your Pyra mid Pile Cure and tested It last night. It did me more good than anything I have ever found yet, nnd remember this was the result of one night's treat ment only. From Pcnn W. Arnett, Bntesvllle, Ark.: Gentlemen: Your Pyramid Pile Cure has done me so much good In so short a time that my son-in-law, Capt. T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark., hni written me for your address, as ho wishes to try It nlso. From A. n. Townsend, Benvllte, Ind.: I have been so much benefited by tho Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose $1 for which please send a package which I wish to give to a friend of mine who suffers very much from piles. From John II. Wright, Clinton, De Witt Co., Ills.: I am so well pleased with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I think It but right to drop you a few lines to Inform you Us effects have been all that I could ask or wish. From P. A. Uruton, Llano, Tex.: Gentlemen: The 'Pyramid Pile Cure has done so much good for me that I will say for the benefit of others that after using only two dnys I am better than I have been for months. The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared by The Pyramid Drup Co. of Marshall, Mich., and It Is truly a wonderful rem edy for all forms of piles. So Brent has been the number of testimonial letters lecelved by them from all parts of the country that they have decided to pub lish each week a number of such let ters. All druggists lecommend the Pyia mld Pile Cure, as they know from whnt their customers say that no remedy gives such general satisfaction Alfred Hand and family, of this city. They have engaged passage for home and will be heie In May. Judge Hand has been greatly benefited by his long stay In Europe, Mr. Zehnder says, and Is In perfect health, as are the other membeis of his family. It Is better to take Hood's Sarsa parilla than to experiment with un known and untried preparations. We know Hood's Sarsaparllla actually and permanently cures. Hood's Pills act easily and prompt ly on the liver and bowels. Cure sick headache.
