The profits of this Institution for the year were $5,889.77. The home Is tepoited to be In good lopair, and the order maintain ed throughout the building Is com mended. The jeport states that sonic of the wards ate very much ciowdcd, and the necessity of building an addition In the near futtiie is urged upon the direct ors. More room will enable the physi cians to classify the patients more than ut present, thus assuring them better treatment. As at present nr rangf"!, the insane with strong Intel lects are associated greatly to their detriment with those of weaker Intel lects. The deplorable condition of the road between the Summit station and the homo Is also commented upon, and the suggestion made that n railway or tramway should bo constructed.

PEASE CASE HUNG BY A SLIM THREAD COMMONWEALTH MADE A VEIIY WEAK SHOWING. Judge Swartz Put to His Wits' Ends to Find Something to Charge tho Jury On Other Lexow Cases Put Over Till Next Term Complaint Against tho Conduct of These Cases Gullhot nnd Merller Pound Guilty Perjury Case from Taylor. Other Court Matters. If the Jury In the cases against Slot Machinist II. C. Pease wilt do what Judge Swartz told them' they should do, tho defendant is as good ns in Jail. When tho Judge came to charge the Jury yesterday afternoon, Just previous to adjournment, everything looked very favoiablc to tho defendant. The commonwealth's case was very weak from a layman's point of view, and Messrs. Scragg nnd O'Urlen, counsel for defendant, shared this view to such nn extent that they declined to put in any testimony, and fought strenuously for binding instructions In favor of the defendant. Judge Swartz, however, would not allow their motion, saying enough had been shown to warrant the case being given to the Jury. Just what that sufllclency was did not appear till the Judge got well Into his charge. Only one witness ot all those that the grand Jury had advised the district attorney's offlce to call, knew anything connecting Pease In any way with the slot machines. This was William Curtis. He was an unwilling witness, but by persistent corkscrewing Mr. Soper succeeded in getting him to admit that the thiee machines which he placed, respectively, In Twiss" hotel, the Dewey house and Fish's hotel, had bpen pur chased of Pease. On crosS-cxamlna-tion It was brought out that Pease was not informed as to what was to bo dono with the machines, nnd had no knowledge that they were to be set up in this county, or for that matter, In any other county. Ho sold them out right nnd did not share In their prof its. Mr. Scragg, in closing for the de fense, contended thatthc most the Jury could do was to guess Pease guilty. He claimed tho commonwealth had ut terly failed to make out a case, JUDGE'S CHARGE. Judge Swartz indicated that he was not strongly lmpt eased with the effort of tho commonwealth by taking from the consideration of tho Jury every thing nxcept the first count in the in dictment in three of the seven cases, those In which the Fish, Twiss and Dewny hotel machines figured. Peace was culpable in these in stances the court contended, in that he had cause to know that the three machines rold to Curtis would be used for gambling purposes. Curtis lived within a block of Pease, the court went on to say, the two men were well ac quainted, and Curtis according to his own testimony, was at Pease's place on a number of occasions, sometimes to have icpalrs made to machines. Knowing Curtis' business, as he pre sumably did, Pease, in selling him gambling machines, was guilty of "aid ing, assisting or encouraging" the set ting up of a naming device, and con sequently violated a provision of the statute. The Jury was out at adjourn ment. The cares against E. A. Knight and Harry Obllnger, charged with keeping gaminr houses; Martin Clark, charged with conspiracy to compound a misde meanor, end Constable Joseph Woelk ers, charged with misdemeanor In of fice, were put over to tho next term. Grand Jurors who participated in the I.exow are complaining of tho manner In which the prosecution of their in dictments are beln? catried on. Tn Inst night's .Truth In his report of the cases against Mitchell, Woelkers and Sldmin, li. F. Squler, the couit re porter of that paper, who was a mem ber of the Lexow Jury, said, among other thlr gs: A COMMENT. "Frank Agll, a witness who swore bofote tho grand jury that he saw the machines opened up in n room in the rear of Constable Mitchell's dining looms on Washington nvenue, and tho nicko'.s divided up into three portions on a table and then shared in equal parte by the thtee defendants, was not subpoenaed by the comnunwealth at nil. Toward the close of the til.il yes terday af lei noon ho was called by the commonwealth, but not having been subpoenaed he was consequently not present. Ho Judge Swnrtz Instructed the Juiy to retuin a verdict of not guilty." Jean Gullhot and Fiancis Merller, the voung Frenchmen tried for felon iously wounding Olllceis Keyes and Snyder, of Dunmore, were returned guilty yecteiday morning. Tho Jury recommended mercy. Judgo Archbald will sentence them today. Two of a number of criminal cases, with llyron SlmreJl and John Ollen dyke, of Brown Hollow, as parties, which llgura extensively In tho make up of recent criminal trial lists, were lieaid together before Judge Archbald ye.sterday morning. Hlmiell cha'ged Ollendyke with as sault and battery and Ollendyke charg ed Slinrell with larceny. Simrell al leges that on Nov. 18, last, Ollendyke iouni'Ci upon him, beat him with a hoise whip und kicked him, and when he took an inventory of his rprson he found his Jaw bono and one i lb broken. To this Ollsndyko said that ho had beard Simrell had circulated deroga tory reports about Mrs. Ollendyke, and that wivn he called upon Simrell to demand un explanation Simrell attack ed him, and to defend hlmrelf he re turned the nssault. LARCENY CASE. The larceny case consisted In nn al legation that Slmicll had stolen coal and chickens from Ollendyke at vari ous times. Slmiell denied this. The Jury found a vtrdlct of not guilty In the latctny case und reported a dis agreement lu the assault and battery case. Judge Archbald told them they would havo to agree and added, that to his mind, there was no question but that an assault had been committed. Tho Jury retired again, and after n short tlmo returned a verdict in ac cordance with the couit's opinion. The felonious wounding case against Thomas Marshall was settled before Judgo Archbald. Marshall stabbed his neighbor, William Phillips, at No. 4, near Carbondale, and for two months Phillips' life was despaired of. No provocation was given for the assault. It was represented to court yestor day that Phillips did not wish to prose cute1 the caso and Judge Archbald al- FOR SHERIFF, JACOB D. FERBER. fr.fY af Xy'vll llll III If I I & illll I desire tho Republican nomination for the ofllco of sheriff of Lackawanna county, at the coming primary elec tion, and request my friends to help mo in every way they can to realize lwoed It to be settled upon the defend ant paying tho costs. Among the cases tried by Judgrc Kelly was one in which Richard Morris was charged by William T. Jones with per jury. Both are from the Fltst ward of Taylor and belong to rival political factions. Morris was challenged when he went to vote at the lost election, and made affidavit that he had paid tax in 1S99 to Collector John D. Jones. Investigation later revealed that this was an error, and a charge of perjury was laid against him. Morrl3 alleges he took suoh an oath and that he was In error.but attempted to excuse his mistake by saying that his wife generally paid his taxes, and he supposed she had paid his 1899 taxes as usual. The tax collector testified it was true thut Mrs. Morris usually paid her husband's taxes, and furthermore that she did pay his 189S tax. The Jury was out at adjournment. A similar case, with David E. Evans as defendant and Ob.adlah Davis as prosecutor, Is to be tried this morning. CUFFED THE DOT.
