Uardniun. of I'sarl Mtreet, Defendant Allowed to Testify, The lav p*s»ed aai approved at Uit session of the legislature, declines that all persons •ball be fully competent wiwusu.-* in any criminal proceeding before any tribunal, ex cepting wbire the person is charged with s criminal offen** triable in the Court of Oyer nnd T"»'f><r, hearings before a grand jury, etc. This law went lo*o <f& the Ist of Uft July, ersd the CWM triable in Oyer and Teiminer arc soeb felonies as murder, atson, buiglary, highway robbery and rape. The first cute in this wntaji) jirhjch the defendant claimed a right to be beard at the beating, uultr tbe uew lap, pas the case vs. Mr. Charles Reiley of Clearfield twp., who wis stcused by Mrs. Wm. Kmminger of the t-uuie township, of committing an aseaultupou btr person with the intention of raping her, on (be 2feth of feept. 1885, but who did not see fit to mekc an information to that effect until a few tlsj* ago. Jler story was that he came to her bouse that day and solicited what be wanted, nul Ibat upon her refusal and attempting to leave the room, he tried 10 detain her and force her. Her story was not corroborated—a Mrs. Shield* and another woman that the prosecution bad aubpwued ci t being able to .refresh their recollections to the extent the prosecution desired. C'ba*. Relly '* a well-to-do farmer of Clearfield twp , is 6fi years of age, bis wife is living, be bus been the father of thirteen children, and bis character, so far as our in quiries have extended, is above reproach. He UntfH that he bad never made improper ad vances or suggestions to any woman since bis msrriage, or to tbis woman in particular, but that he Has lately sued Wm. Kmminger on a note he held. Mrs. bbielda was examined in reference to a talk she bad with Mrs. K. at the hotel, ar.d it looked a little like subtiou ° 'Aere 'wa* nothing in the case, and Etq Walker, before wbom it was tried, promptly discbarged the delendant, and the county pays tbe east*, for that U the law, uud a strange oje it nee mi. When the counsel for the defendant in this oa«e claimed the right to be heard, under the uew law, the counsel for the prosecution promptly apd emphatically objected, and dis pute/ tbe meanjpg of tbe act, and to settle tbe matter, the Justine adjourned the bear ing and consulted seven attorneys all ot whom told Li:i.i that be was required to hear tbe evidence for tbe defence, excepting in Ihe cases mentioned, and we cauuot see why evidence lor tbe defence is not allowed at tbe bearing in al! cases. As it is, tbe new law will reduce tbe criminal business of the County Court b/ at least one-half, by nip ping bumbug prosecutions iu thebu l, and will also prevent manv au innocent man, having no friends rble U> bail him, from go ing to jail.

LEGAL NEWS. Court met Monday afternoon with Jud, <• Haien presiding. The Grand Jury was called -nti the bo.v, —all but Messrs. Kripps and Glaw answer in* to their names— and Jas. D. Lytie i t Hsrmonv. was made foreman. Jadsre liszen instructed them as to their duties in a lengthy, profound and exhaustive charge, to which the jury paid close attention. He re ferret to everytniGg, iucluti'ns* the breaking down of ccuuty bridges by the new steam threshers that are now perambulating over ■ hrt eoun'ry. The GrandJur? was rti«m ssed.to their room, aud will have about titty bills to consider during the week. The next business of interest wax the peti tion of It. P. Scott, Esq., praying that the li cence of James Sellers of Butler, be revoked on account of his selling liquor to men ot in temperate habits, to minors, und to men vis ably intoxicated. yuite a number of names appear on the petition and the Court fixed Saturdav at 9 A.M., for a hearing of the case. This is a serious matter for Mr. Sellers for he cannot again receive a license in this county or State, if his present license is revoked. Several other motions and petitions were heard when the Court directed the Coustables to b • called to the Bar. They all answered with the exception of the constables of Mud dycreek and Pean twps., who have never fil ed their bonds. It is a question whether or DO a legal election CAD at present be held iu those townships. The court then read to them sections 11 slid 12 cf the utw license law, and gave the constables an opportunity to correct their returns in accordance with the new law. He also read the new law in reference to the sale of oleomaigarine, ex tracts from the election laws regarding dis turbaiices at tltclioDß, told the constables the law regarding gambling, which, as we understand it consists of making money by any game ofchar.ce, Red which is said to have become entuely too common in certain law offices and other places in Butler. The returns were then handed in and sworn ta, excepting three or tour, including •.hat of Petroiia—the constable of lhat village seems to lave seme weighty secrets locked in his mighty chest. One of the constables for Butler has return ed all the hotel keepers of the town for sell ing liquor to men of known intemperate habits, micors end to men visibly affected by liquor. Some of the constables in the north ern part ot the county are said to have taken similar action, and the court leleretl all such returns to the Grand Jury, the result oi which is not yet known. Here in IJutJer the return named a certain oil producer as a man ot known iuteniperaU; habits, and :is the re turn is said to have originated wjtl} a certain notorious member of the Bar, the oil ducer made an information i-gainst the law yer, before a Justice for keeping a gambling house. The lawyer in turu is said to have threatened to return all the known gamblers in town,and the oil producer his directed the Justice fp hold over his information till next Saturday.

Ail Army Of Doctors. Til K INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CON GE USS < I'ENKD BY PRESIDENT CLEVLLAND--INCIDKNTS OF FIRST SESSION. WASUISGTON, September s.—An army of doctors is here. The International Medical Con gress opened in this city to-day under the most favorable auspices. In round number it is estimated that the invading army of doctors now contains about five thousand in dividuals. The work of registration is still in progress and exact figures are not yet attainable. Of these nine-tenths are Americans. They range in appearance from the brigbt eved and aggressive young practition er,not many years away from the arms of Alma Mater to the gold-spectacled, snowy-headed and reverend professor; but au air of bon-homie everywhere prevails among them. Of the three or four hundred for eigners } resent, there are florid, portly Englishmen, swarthy Italians, Turks and Persians, blonde Russians, Nor wegians aud Swedes, with French men, Danes, Germans, Servians, Mex icans and South Americans in every type of eminent respectability. French appears to be the favorite tongue for international comaiunion, but there are not a few among the foreigners who seem to turn without an effort from Servian to Spanish and from Norwegian to Ureek. whose English, though fluent as a spring freshet, is rather hard to recognize as such. In point of numbers this Congress rivals the London Congress of 1881. It outrivals the last Congress, hc-ld in Copenhagen in 1834, and the sci entific character and high standing of its members have never bean excell ed in any previous Congress. President Cleveland, Secretary Bayard and Speaker Carlisle were es corted by Dr. (iarnett to seata upon the 6tage at eleven o'clock and were greeted with applause by the audi ence.

This invitation being ac cepted, an Executive Committee was named to make necessary arrange ments and the result of their labors was seen in this large assembly, which the register showed contained many of the most brilliant and dis tinguished medical minds of Europe, Asia and America. 'To welcome these of the profession and show bis interest in a great humanitarian object, tho Pres ident of the United States has con sented to open the Congress for or ganisation fie had the honor to announce the Ilonorahie Qroyer Cleveland, President of the United States of America. Tbe president arose, be wed to the assemblage, and when the applause hod subsided, he said: '*l feel that the country should be congratulated to-day upon the pres ence at our capital of so many of our oypn citizens and tho3e representing foreign countries who have distin guished themselves in the science of medicine and are* devoted to its fur ther progress. My duty on this oc casion is a very pleasant and a very brief one. It is simply to announce that the Ninth international tyeuical CoDgrees is now open for organiza tion and for the transaction of bus iness " The chairman of the Executive Committee tbeo proceeded to nom inate the gentlemen agreed upon by the committee to be officers of the Congress. "For the high office of President of the Congress." he said, "the committee unanimously nom inate to you one widely known as a scientific practitioner, an able teacher and piedical author, Dr. Nathan Smith Davis, of Chicago.
