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.
OPENED BY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
The assemblage \j>Ss called to order
by Prof. Henry M. Smith, of Phil'p..,
Chairman of the Execntive Commit
tee. IJe said it was known to all
present, as well as to physicians
throughout the world, that in May,
1884, representative members of the
profession in the United States de
cided to send a fraternal greeting to
the Eighth International Medical
floDgreas, then about to assemble in
the oapitol of Denmark and aslj that
the Ninth International Medical Con
gress might be iu the City of Wash
ington. 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
