THE INSOLVENCY FARCE.
Judge Edwards Saya It Is Economy
to Put tho Costs on tho County
in Criminal Casos.
Tho futility of placing costs on a
party to an action In criminal court
was the subject of dissertation from
the bench by Judge Edwards yester
day, lie said unreservedly that It was
an actual economy to refrain from
doing this, as the county, In the Ions
run, must pay them, and when the
county is made liable In this Indirect
way It means from $C to t$ more ex
pense than If the county was made
directly liable.
In every case nt the last term of
quarter sessions, he said, where tho
costs were placed on one of the parties
to tho action, the Insolvency laws were
appealed to, and In addition to the
original costs the county was mulcted
for extra ofllco fees.
"You will do the county a favor by
placing the costs on It," ho said to tho
Jury he was addressing. The jury
granted the favor.
Before delivering himself of this
statement, Judge Edwards called the
defendant's attorney to the bench and
asked him If his client was able to pay
tho costs. The attorney smiled, and
replied: "I guess he hasn't got nny
more than I'll want." The court, with
out further question, took it for granted
that If tho client wasn't already an
Insolvent he would be, presently.

MANY IMPORTANT
MATTERS DISCUSSED
MINISTERIAL ASSOOIATON AT
KINGSTON.
Neeossity of a Stridor Obsorvanco
Wns Discussed nt Soma Length as
Was the Attitude of tho General
Oonforenco on tho Amusement
Questlonr -Delegates to That Con
ference Gave Interesting Reports
of tho Work Done at Chicago Last
Yenr's Ofllcers Ro-olocted.
The discussions yesterday nt the one
hundred and fifty-sixth session of tho
Wyoming District Ministerial associa
tion, held In Kingston, wore remark
ablu for the candid expression of opin
ion nnd the keen, thoughtful views on
many vital subjects. The review of the'
general conference was Intensely In
teresting. The questions eagerly nskod
denoted the deeply Inbred desire to be
fully acquainted with the underlying
principles of Methodism according to
modern Interpretation, nnd the Infor
mation Imparted by the delegates was
valuable In the extreme.
The morning service opened with de
votional exercises conducted by Ilev.
C. H. Reynolds. Tho first business
taken up wns election of ollleers, those
of Inst year being re-elected, ns fol
lows: Itev. Austin Oiillln, 1). D., presi
dent; Rev. W. U Thorpe, vice-president;
Hev. F. D. Cornell, secretary rui'I
treasurer.
A discussion regarding the Wyoming
camp meeting ensued. Improvements
have been made, and the prospects for
the camp services are blight. A num
ber of cotages are now for rent, Th
meetings will begin August 14. Dr.
Parke Cndman, of the Metropolitan
church of New York, and Dr. Little, of
Orange, N. J., will be present. It was
voted to have a convention In October
to consider the problems of Methodism.
REV. SURDAM'S PAPER.
Rev. Charles M. Surdam, of Plttston,
read the first paper, on the subject,
"The Orthodox Requirements Respect
ing Faith in the Scriptures." The ques
tion wns considered In a conservative
fashion. He disapproved of a few de
structive critics being permitted to
give authority for the religious vlewo
of the millions of true believers. It
was an excellent paper and seemed to
rather unusually lit In with the senti
ments of the brethren. Rev. Will II.
Hlller, of Wllkes-Uarre, ripened the dis
cussion which followed, and Rev. E. L..
Santee, of West Xantlcoke, also spoke
on tho subject.
Because of Illness, Rev. Dr. Dresser
was not present to give his paper, and
Rev. W. L. Thorpe was also absent,
thus the next topic was the "Net Re
sults of the General Conference," by
Rev. Dr. Austin CJiiflln. He gave a
concise review of the great questions
which occupied the attention of that
body, speaking of the first movement,
the seating of the provisional delegates,
and referring to the withdrawal of on,
woman, thus allowing the admission of
the equal representation without a ells
sentlng vote. He then spoke of the
nppolntment of standing committees,
the hard work of delegates ami the Im
portant nart taken by those from this
conference'. The discussion of the or
ganic laws of Methodism, occasioning
sharp debate, nnd the admission of
women, according to the sanction of
annual conferences, were touched upon.
Rev. J. 13. Sweet spoke in a compli
mentary way of the delegation from
Wyoming conference, In Its Influence
and prominence at general conference.
Rev. W. II. Penrce. D. D., as one of
the delegates, gave a most Interesting
account of the sessions. He said that
for tho comfort of those who could not
go to general conference that It was
very hard and meant almost continu
ous attendance upon committee meet
ings and general service, from S.30 In
tho morning until 12 at night.
VOTE TO SEAT WOMEN.
The vote to give women a seat In
the next general conference was sole
ly the work of men, ns tho women
did not make any plea for such favor.
The question of tho famous "Arti
cle HIS" In tho discipline was the cause
of much warm discussion and many
queries were asked regarding the
present status of the church on the
subject of amusements. It was more
or less lucidly explained that Metho
dists aro at present at sea on this
matter and will not know where they
ae "at" until the new (Helpline ap
pears, with or without the Irritating
clause.
Dr. Spiague spoke with Intense feel
ing on the amusement question ns af
fecting the seminary. Many students
have parents prominent In the Metho
dist church, even Sunday school super
intendents, who ask permission for
their children to visit the theaters.
He has had numberless most puzzling
questions to decide regarding this sub
ject and confessed tho embarrassment
which annoyed him nt times. He be
lieved It possible, under certain cir
cumstances, for n young lady to Jump
up and down, shullle cards without
being sinful, yet the surrounding's of
these amusements ure In tho majority
sinful.
He believed no level-headed pastor
would exclude a probationer on these
questions. On the whole, ho thought
It would be wiser to enforce the dis
cipline nnd expel members than to
temporize as at the present, when tho
law Is there but Is a dead letter.

Itcostsnothlng to get Mrs. I'lnkhntn's
advice. Her address is Lynn, Mass.
A lonK and nnlmated discussion fol
lowed those remarks. Dr. Gillln be
lieved that a little common sense was
the necessary equipment for a pastor.
When the convert gets religion enough
he usually doesn't care for worldly
amusements. He was not In favor of
excluding applicants for church mem
beishlp or expelling members on these
terms. "What we ministers need," ho
sold, "Is a little more love and not so
much law."
Hev. L. ( Murdoch asserted that
when a person becomes a real Metho
dist he itets so far beyond the fence
that he doesn't realize It Is there.
Dr. Austin Grlllln, who had served
on the committee dealing with this
question, made a deep Impression when
he told of the letters which had been
received on the subject. One resident
of this district had written to the gen
eral conference Imploring that It should
not retreat one degree, for he said:
"It was the dance which has turned
the steps of my two dnughters toward
hell." A Presbyterian clergyman wrote
In n similar strain, declaring thnt the
Methodist stand against sinful amuse
ments Is the only bulwark of Protest
antism. A discussion regarding the adjust
ment of dlfucultles concerning the
financial condition of the Northern
Christian Advocate occupied the re
mainder of the session. The president
appointed the following men-fliers of
the committee to arrange for the Octo
ber convention: W. II. Pearce, C.
M. Olflln, L. C. Murdoch, .1. IT. Sweet.
The meeting adjourned with the bene
diction by Hev. II. II. Wilbur.
AFTKHKOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was presided
over by Rev. Dr. W. II. Pearce. He.
J. N. lialloy conducted tho devotional
exercises, itev. Dr. Sprnguo spoke on
the educational work of Methodism In
the district. He urged the endowment
of the Wyoming seminary, Alreail
? 11.000 has been raised.
Hev. Dr. Samuel Moore, financial
agent of the seminary, gave an account
of the methods to be employed, and
spoke of the Interest already awakened
In Kim Park church and elsewhere in
the object. Tho twentieth century
movement was urged upon tho hear
ers. Itev. W. Ia Thorpe read a line paper
on "What Should Be the Attitude ot
the Pulpit Toward the Relation P,e
tween Labor nnd Capital'."' The feel
ing was emphasized that there should
be great care In maintaining the spir
ituality and dignity of tho pulpit, that
Its utterances may bo heeded, as the
oroclo of God.
Hev. R. M. Pascoe conducted the dis
cussion which followed. Hev. C. II.
Reynolds desired the paper to be sent
to Iilpplncott's for publication. Dr.
Pearce spoke earnestly regarding the
outlook. Ho declared that in Chicago
worklngmen are turning back to the
church for comfort.
Hev. Herbert L. Ellsworth gavo an
excellent paper on "The Use of Public
Means of Conveyance on the Sabbath
by Ministers of the Gospel and Mem
bers of the Church." He began by a
recital of the Rabbinical rules as once
applied In orthodox Jewish families.
The Sabbath, with every other means
of grace, contribute to man's highest
spiritual welfare. Christ's first clash
with the Rabbinical law was regard
ing Sabbath observance. Man Is greater
than the temple. The law prohibits
the works of the servants nnd animals.
The pulpit hhould speak on the evils
of pleasure riding.
USE MEANS AT HAND.
Dr. Glllln opened the discussion. He
ngreed with the paper. Ho believed
the highest results should be obtain
ed by using the means at hand. Ho
referred to tho prevalent custom In
titles of passing nearby churches to
go to those farther on. One should
go to church when; to htm the volco
of God Is heard. If In thus going tho
necessity for riding arises It should
bo employed. There ure people who
are suffering under a morbid degree
of conscience. They are not Chris,
tlans. but are living according to Jew
ish traditions. He then said: "If I
were preaching for Dr. Sprnguo on
Sunday and It was necessary to got
home that day, I shouldn't walk If tho
cars went."
Will I Hlller spoke with emphasis
on the negative side. Ho declared
that tho nudlenco might call him a
fogy, a moss-back, etc., but he was
distinctly opposed to Christians using
Sabbath breaking conveyances. These
methods arc more harm than all tho
theater-going, dancing and card-play-lng.
Hev. J. N. Halley spoke strongly In
favor of n strict observance of tho
Sabbath In the line Indicated, after
which Presiding Elder Grlflln gave an

Other Court Mattors.
James Nolan, the Carbondalo youth,
charged with the murder of his father,
John Nolnn, withdrew his plea of not
guilty, nt tho opening of court yester
day morning, and plead guilty ot man
slaughter. Judge Edwards postponed
sentence until Saturday.
Nolan took this step ot the advice of
his counsel, Attorneys Thomas 1'.
Duffy and U P. Wedemnn. Having
been assigned to defend him, after tho
case was called the previous day, they
were unfamiliar with his story In de
tail and acquiesced In his wish to make
an effort to establish a rase ot self
defense. After learning the full par
ticulars of the case, however, they
agreed that It was best to advise him
to plead guilty of manslaughter, If tho
connnonwenlth could bo Induced to ac
cept such a verdict. Nolan consented,
and Assistant District Attorney Thorn
ns being agreeable to such n finding,
the case was brought to a termination
before the drawing of the Jury was
completed.
The maximum Imprisonment for man
slaughter Is twelve years.
None of tho score or more of cases
called for trial yesterday was prose
cuted with more vehemence than that
In which Mrs. P. G. Weldensall, of
124C North Washington avenue, ap
peared against her fifteen-year-old son,
Edward, arraigned on the charge of
feloniously wounding his nineteen-year-old
brother, John. A total lack of nf
fectlon, or an overpowering desire to
have the lad sent to the reformatory
for his own good, was Indicated In hor
every word nnd action on the witness
stand, and the manner In which she re
colveil the announcement of the verdict
of guilty.
A VICIOTTS ASSAULT.
The assault, as depleted by the
mother and the oldest son, wns with
out question a very vicious one. Ed
ward and a boy friend of the same age
were amusing themselves with some
electrical apparatus In the kitchen, on
the night of April 7, lost, when John
came In and made some complaint
about his brother making uso of the
apparatus. Ono word borrowed an
other, until finally Edwatd seized a
pair of sharp-pointed machinist'.-) di
viders and stabbed his brather In the
breast, and then holding him throttled
against the wall, called to young
Christian to bring him a butcher knife
that was lying on the table. The
mother at this juncture succeeded In
separating them. The wound was pain
ful but not serious.
Edward left the house and tho next
morning returned to get his clothing,
after which he started to tramp to New
York. He was overtaken on tho Dela
ware, Iackawanna and Western tracks
near Nay Aug tunnel by a constable
and locked up.
His story of tho affair was that John
assaulted him first and during the
sculllo the stabbing occurred accident
ally. Judge Edwards decided to send
him to tho Huntingdon reformatory.
A verdict of not guilty was returned
and the costs put on the prosecutor
in the first of tho liquor cases to bo
tried. It was the case In which Mary
Kucenlch, n licensed dealer, of Vond
llng, wits charged by Michael Duffy
with selling on Sunday. He swore sh"
served him with beer at tho bar and
accepted money for It. She swore ho
came to the house and asked for some
thing to eat. She served him with a
sandwich in the kitchen and out of
goodness to her neighbor gavo him
n. glass of boor. Tho prosecutor admitted-
on the stand that he was em
bittered towards the Kucenlch fam
ily because one of them had stolen $18
from him.
NOLL, PLEADED GUILTY.
John Noll plead guilty to the chnrge
of selling liquor without a license, pre
ferred by his brother, William Noll.
He told Judge Savage that ho was an
Invalid and around pay-days and hol
iday times he got In a barrel of boor
and a jug of liquor ns an accommoda
tion to the neighborhood and Inciden
tally to keep the wolf from the door.
The brother, who prosecutes hint, he
went on to tell, had advised hlni to
do this very thing, and he wanted
the Judge to believe tnat tho prosecu
tion was nothing more or less than
the culmination of u conspiracy to got
htm Into trouble so that tho brother
could wrest from him the share ho
holds In the property left them joint
ly iy their father.
Judge Savage was disposed to sus
pend sentence when ho learned that
the minimum penalty was throe
months' Imprisonment and $300 lino,
but Joseph Jeffries, attorney for tho
prosecution, vigorously opposed nny
exercise of clemency. The fact that
the inflicting of the prescribed pen
alty will entail the sale of the defen
dant's share of tho property and prac
tically beggar him, besides sending
him, an Invalid, to the county Jail for
three months, apparently appealed to
Judge Savage, for he postponed tho
Imposition of sentence till Saturday.
A nol pros was entered in tho case
of Angelo Macca, charged by Annlo
Kennedy with Indecent exposure, and
also in the case of Louis Zellnskl,
charged by Sophia KUkorski with lar
ceny and receiving. Zellnskl was sent
up for nine months, on a similar
charge, Monday.
liecause of the failure of the prose
cution to adequately identify the al
leged stolen goods, a verdict of not
guilty was by Jttdso K-illy directed to
enter In the larceny and receiving caso
against Jacob Miller.
NEAHY'S DISCOVERY.
Constable Neary was dispatched to
South Washington avenue fiats to
watch for thieves who were contin
ually making away with coupling pins
and like Iron from trains that halted
there. He iound Miller In possession
of a bag containing a lot of links nnd
pins und had him arrested.
At the trial yesterday, It developed
that the elleged stolen goods bore no
mark to indicate their ownership and
wore of a pattern generally adopted
by railroads hereabout. This was
fatal to the commonwealth's case and
a verdict of not guilty had to-be en
tered. Joshua Miller was convicted of steal-
