The bitterest disappointment over the failure of the goveinnnnt to s sii" the Krag-Jorgeiirieu lilies Is felt throughout the different regiments. This feeling Is most kee.i in the two IVnusylvanla regiments -the Thir teenth and the Klglith because they were to have been supplied first, and also because the men of thet-e two commands have been expecting this magazine guns for some time.

Tho Trial of Alleged Murderer of Jackson Pepper v.oseu Last Eve ning. Special to the Scni'ton Tribune. Monti ope. Nov .23. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Cornelius Well3 Shew In In the hands of the Jury. At . o'clock Attorney A. 11. McCollum. as sistant counsel for the commonwealth, concluded his nddress. after which Judge Searle charged the jury and they retired for their deliberations. This morning Fitch I.eonnrd and DIs ti let Attorney William D. H. Alney tes tified In rebuttal of Shew's statement yesterday that the prosecuting officer had Induced him to make a confession. Their evidence showed that at no time was Mr. Alney alone with Shew after his arrival In Montrosv, Shew stated on Thursday that Mr. Alney Induced him to make a statement In his ofllce. This was shown to have been Impos sible without its having been heard by Mr. Leonard, who was present all the time until the statement taken by Miss AmnKiinau had been completed. It was after that first confession made by Shew, that Mr. M linger obtained a statement. In .hlftlce to Mr. Munger it should be stated that his Intention was to use the statement Immediately for publication, as a newspaper man he knew the value of such startling news, particularly when It was reduced to writing and signed by the narrator. All libel would disappear and the only reason why this statement of Shew's iciualned unpublished until given as evidence Is that he respected the wishes of District Attorney Alney and allowed the confessions of both Shew and Kagan to go unpublished, and In fact turned them over to Mr, Alney at the tatter's request. It was nearly l! o'clock when the court had completed a careful charge to the Jury. Judge Seaiie's charges are noted for completeness and fairness, and dur ing his term of ten yesarp' service upon the bench he has yet to be reversed on a decision mude In Susquehanna coun ty, by a higher court. And Cornelius Wells Shew Is In the old-fashioned Jail, nestled In the breast of the hillside, and there he sleeplessly awaits his fate. THE FLORIDA AT HAVANA.
