Oourt convened yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. At 9:30 it adjourned to reconvene on November 2Srd at 10 a. m. In the half hour that Court was in session a good deal of business was disposed o.f. The jury in the oase of Commonwealth vs. Rimer Halderman, Indioted for assault aud battery with attempt to rob, which readied an agreement about 11 o'clock Tuesday night, was in Court ready to report. Halderman a strenuous at tempt to establish an alibi and there was ourioslty to knew how the jury regarded t\e testimony. At the ring ing of the ' more than the osnal number of people streamed into the Court House. The Court took the verdlot, which was to the effeot that the jury found the defendant guilty In manner and form as indicted, but reoommendad him to the mercy of the Oonrt. Halderman was immediately called bafore the bar. Jndge staples before passing sentenoe talked to Halderman n a way that tonohei the hearts of everyone present. A question from the Oourt brooght out the fact that the defendant is only twenty-one years of age. He Is a rather handsome, finely proportioned young fellow. Fnither questions from the Oonrt brooght ont the admissions that he had been before the Ooart before for reoaiving BOB*/ under false pretenseß and that ssutenoe had been sospeuded; .also that lie had been a desertfet from the United States Army. In regard to the latter offense he asked to explain some extenuating oironinstances. He laid the whole mat ter to his youth and the /act that Army life had been falsely represent ed to him. He was only sixteen years old. he said, when he enlisted. Judge Staples told him that he »ery much disliked to Bend a young man like him to prison, but as Judge lie had a doty to perform, and had to oonform with the demands of Justioe. He adverted to the fact that the jury had reoommeuded him to the mercy of the Ooart.bot he reminded Halderman that when he was before the Court on the previous occasion oleoieucy had been exeroised in h1 a favor bat that he had utterly failed to profit by the warning. In the present case Judge Staples informed him that he had fail ed to establish an alibi and the Court themselves believed him guilty. The jury probably had not been Informed of the olemenoy shown by (he Ooort in his case in the past. At all events as matters stood the recommendation for mercy conld avail but little. The sentenoe of the Court was: That Elmer Halderman". pay the ooßta of prosecution In the oase ; a fine of ten dollars to the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania for the use of the County of Montour; that he undergo imprison ment in the Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia for a period of five yeara at separate aud solitary confinement at labor to be computed from yester day aud to atand committed until the sentence is complied with. Elmer Halderman along with John Seea pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the oharge of attempting to break jail. While Halderman remained standing sentenoe was imposed for that offense. It was as follows: Elmer Halderman undergo an ! imprisonment at separate and solitary confinement at labor in the Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia for a torm of one year to be computed from the expiration of.the sentence above imposed aud to stand committed until the sentenoe is complied with. The Court admonished Haldertian to be oarefal of his conduot in prisou, explaining to him that under the law of commutation good behavior in the penitentiary would bring its own re ward aud that it was in hie power thus to rednce the time for which lie was sentenced tweutythree months. "John Sees in whoso case on motion of Charles V. Amerman, an indiot ment involving the charge of murder was quashed, Tnesday, and who along with Halderman pleaded guilty to at tempting to break jail, was next call ed before the bar for sentence. Judge Staples informed Sees that the Court was inclined to believe that he had been drawn into the conspiracy to attempt to break jail. He had done well by pleading guilty, thereby spar ing the connty the trouble and ex pense of establishing his guilt. On the whole the Court was inclined to be lenient. The sentence was : That John Sees undergo an imprison ment in the jail in the County of Mon tour for a period ot six months to be oomputed from yesterday and that he stand committed until the sentence is complied with. As Seos took his seat he turned and thanked the Court. Judge Staples took occasion to ad vert to the rumor that a hold-up had occurred in Danville and that although 'the highwayman was known no ar rests had been made in the case. This he declared was a grave neglect, es pecially in view of the fact that a great wave of orime is sweeping over this part of the State. He made some inquiry as to how Danville is equipped with police and later turning to Chief Minoemoyer directed him to investi gate the matter and if the facts war rant it to swear out a warrant and have the would-be highwayman ar rested. Mr. Scarlet on behalf of the Mon tour County bar presented a petition to Oonrt asking that the term of Deo ember Court, whioh oonvenes on the fourth Monday of the month-Christ mas Day—be ohanged to the second week in January. Judge Staples said that he will see Judge Little abont the matter. He himself favors the change. He said he would not hold Court on Christmas Day and he does not think there should bo any court on Christmas week. An order making the ohange as petitioned for will prob -1 ably be made later.

Curry who doling the , pant Hummer cultivated the lot at the lower end of West Mahoning street was yesterday engaged in storing away the orop of oniOuS wiiioii he raised. The lot comprises one and a half aores. The growing orop present ed a very interesting appearance dur ing the summer. Mr. Curry was very proud of his onions and gave them olose attentiou. As they approached maturity there weie a good many con jectures as to what the yield would be. The guesses varied considerably) All will be interested to know that the exact yield is five hundred auii thirty-three bushels. All of which shows that Mr. Curry although the ac tive years of his life have been given | to other pursuits is nevertheless some I thing of a truckman and might be \ able to give practioal gardeners a few \ pointers. For the benefit of those wlfo may! wonder what there is in Mr. Ourry's orop we will state that at the time onions are retailing at the rate of one dollar per bUßhel. «* n - W. H.
