Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., May 30 !W7. PROCEEDINGS OF HAY COURT Continued from Ist Page. MORNING SESSION. A large audience assembled in the courthouse yesterday morning to lieai Hon. H M. Hinckley and lion Fred Ikeler in their addresses to the ,iurv iu the Dietrich case. More forceful aud elo(|uent addresses have seldom been heard in counectiou with any case ever tried in Montoui county. Mr. Hinckley began at 9 o'clock, im mediately after the reconvening ot court, aud continued his address i'oi one hour and twenty-six minutes. He began by reminding the jury that the Commonwealth would not ask for n conviction of murder in the first, de gree, but would press for a verdict ot murder in the second degree. Aftei making an eloquent, plea for justice and disinterested action on the part ot the jury, Mr. Hinckley took up the great mass of testimony reviewing it in detail. He held that Dietricli wat proud of his marksmanship and that when Jones taunted him on his skill as a marksman he touched him on a tender spot. The revolver that lay on the counter was empty: Dietrich went into the adjoining room and returned with the loaded revolver, after which the shot was fired that killed Jones. This Mr. Hinckley held was the testi mony adduced at the first trial but was departed from in the two subsequent trials, when the evidence was shaped to show that it was not until after Dietrich had returned from the other room that Jones made the taunting re mark. The impossibility of an accid ent was emphasized by Mr. Hinckley, a< he produced the pistol, which is not a self-cocking one, and demonstrated that the hammer could be drawn back Only with a deliberate effort. This, together with the defendant's damag ing statement, that he hit Jones ' 'just where he aimed," Mr. Hinckley held, VPas convincing evidence that the pistol was deliberately discharged MR. IKELER'S ADDRESS. After a short intermission Hon. Fred Ikeler began his address, speak iug for over an hour. To refute Mr. Hinckley he declared that the purpose was not to establish drunkenness as a defense, for the killing, although it would be admitted that Dietrich wat drunk as were to a certain extent al»c Jones and Woll. The defense did con tend, however, that Jones lost bis life as the result of the accidental dis charge of the revolver and that the ac ident was largely brought about by the half-drunken condition of the whole party. The defense was accid ent aud drunkenness was only a cir cumstance connected with it. Like Mr. Hinckley, Mr. Ikeler conducted some experiments witli the revolvej that was introduced in evidence, but he attempted to demonstrate to the jury that although the pistol was not a self-cockmg one, in careless handl ing the hammer could easily be accid entally raised. There were no grounds, he held, for murder in the second de gree as there were none for murder in the first degree. Neither was there auy evidence ou which voluntary man slaughter could be founded, a degree which would imply that the blow was struck to kill in the heat of passion. Mr. Ikeler said that there was but one degree which applied to tin- case and that was involuntary manslaughter. The defendant, he declared, was actu ally guilty of involuntary manslaught er, but this was not in the indictment Nothing, therefore, remained but too acquit the prisoner. Mr. Ikeler made an impassioned plea for acquittal, holding that the defendant, wherein he may have been guilty, lias been adequately punished by the ordeal he has passed through in the three trials. THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. At 11 :4o Judge Evans began his ad dress to the jury. It was lengthy and very clear, covering the ground in all its entirety. While it was being de livered utter stillness prevailed throughout the court room, which re vealed the deep interest that the pub lic felt in the charge. After defining the various degrees of murder the court carefully review ed the testimony. Touching on the new evidence introduced.which might imply that Woll had contradicted him - self in making statements concerning the shooting, the court called the at tention of the jury particularly to the fact that the evidence of Sharp M. Dietz aud David Jones was not. in trodnced to show, aud neither could it be taken as proving, that two shots really were fired : the purpose of in troducing the testimony was merely to neutralize the evidence of Woll re lating to the shooting. The jury in the case could find one of three ver dicts —murder in second degree, vol untary manslaughter and not guilty. ASSAULT AND BATTERY Among the minor cases beforfi the nurt was one of assault aud battery from Anthony township. Harry Horn boy had been arrested at the instance of JohuT. Reynolds,a neighbor,charg ed with assanlt and nattery. The grand , ury found a true bill aud the case c.tme up for trial yesterday afternoon. Harry Bomboy and John T. Rey nolds live ou adjoining properties. On January Ist a quarrel arose 1 between the two men relative to a ditch.which Mr. Bomboy alleged was ou his ground. When Mr. Reynolds appear ed with his shovel to clean out the ditch the defendant disputed his right . tot respass. A great deal of harsh langu age passed between the twojmen, when Mr. Reynolds alleged that the defend ant coin su i tied an on him,shak ing his list before his face and press iug it against "his nose. Mr. Reynolds' testimony was cor roborated by that of his wife. Harry Bornboy on the stand told his side of the story, which made the whole affair appear very trivial. He was corrober ated by Melvin Snyder and Lloyd Wal lize as witnesses. The jury was out only a few min utes. when it returned with a veidiot lof "not guilty," but dividing the i coats between the prosecutor and the i defendaut Judge Kvaus said lie heartily ap- I proved of the veidiot and declared lie hoped it would teach, the two young men a lesson. He called Harry Bom ! boy aud John T. Reynolds! before the i court aud sentenced them each to pay ; half the costs and to consider them selves in the custody of the sheriff un til the sentence was complied with. SUTTON'S CASE Charles Suttou. who Tuesday plead ed guilty to the charge of jail break ing, was yesterday placed on trial charged with another grave offence The prosecutrix in the latter case was Mrs. Marv A. Krum. of Perry town ship, whose daughter the defendant had wronged. Miss Ada Krum being called to the stand told the story of t her betrayal. She is seventeen years of age. she said, and has known the defendant, who is her brother-in-law, for six years. The evidence was conclusive in its uature and the jury was out but a few niiuutes, returning with a veidiot of guilty as in manner aud form indict ed. Judge Evans imposed the usual sentence in such cases, alter which lie took up the matter of jail breaking. For this offence, .Suttou was sentenced to one year in the county jail, IIIH time to be computed from the present date. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Judge Evans announced that with tin exception of one civil case, which will be tried Friday, the business before court had all been disposed of. The jurors,therefore,were discharged with the exception of one panel, previi usly selected to try the civil case Piano Practice In the Dark. Because they have no sight and must cultivate the souse of l'eeling the blind are peculiarly sensitive in touch. The average piano student can profit by this knowledge and help himself more than he realizes by a few minutes of nightly practice without artificial light. Try going to the piano "when the lights are low" or not at all and run over the scales in consecutive «rder. Then play the arpeggios and running chords of the dominant seventh and diminished fifth. Then let yourself go on the pieces you have memorized. You will find yourself musically awak ened, for you can hear better when you are not distracted by what you see. and your touch will become more firm and sure and your dependence on the printed notes will gradually grow less and less.

"the American scout." was out one day with a patrol on the veldt when he announced that he bad lost the trail. He dismounted, says Col lierV, and began moving about on hands and knees, nosing the ground like a bloodhound, and pointing out a trail that led back over the way they had just come. While he was thus em ployed the commanding officer rode up. "Don't raise your head, sir," said Burnbam to him. "On that kopje to the right there is a commando of Boers." "When did you see them?" asked the officer. "I see them now," Burnbam an swered. "But I thought you were looking for a lost trail." • "That's what the Boers on the kopje think," said Burnbam. The spirit of cheerfulness is some times the result of a happy tempera ment whose nerves have uever been disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity. Sometimes It is the abundance of youth ill finding a surplus of vigor after the lolls of the day. Sometimes it is the expression of character which from the reserves of its own nature and ex perience is able to preserve a cheerful disposition under even the most dis couraging circumstances and face life always with hope aud good cheer. Such a character is a strength and a defense not only to him who has it, but to all his associates aud to all who feel his influence.

A distinguished author once describ ed uu unripe persimmon as u tine in centive to generosity, since we would rather give It to another than eat it ourselves. And perhaps the English breakfast may be likened to the early persimmon. Monotony is the keynote of the early meal in a British household not but that the food is good and substantial, but there is a sameness year in and year out about the dishes that is trying indeed to an American. Here is a list of eatables and drjnkables made up from the breakfast menu of ten middle class English households and ten pure ly English hotels: Porridge, served with sugar and milk; ham and eggs, eggs and bacon, grilled ham. boiled and poached eggs, fried sausages, dried flsli (herrings or haddocks), dry toast, white or brown bread and butter, marmalade or .lam, tea or coffee. The man or wcmau who has been ac customed to break the fast with wheat cakes and maple sirup, followed by grilled hhiefish and is juicy porter house or pork tenderloin, helped out by freshly ground coffee, cranberry Jelly, Virginian honey and a choice of a hun dred or more delights in the way of bread and freshly baked cakes, sits down to breakfast in England with a sigh.—Fronj 1 ierrid;'s British Report.

History of a Weight Standard. The grain, the smallest weight stand ard in general use, was so called from originally being the weight, of a grain of wheal. A statute which became a law in Eiigland in the year 120(1 or dained that thirty-two grains of wheat taken from the middle of the ear or "head" and well dried should make a pennyweight, that twenty penny weights should make one ounce and that twelve ounces should make one pound. Some centuries later then were some radical changes made in the above, such as dividing the penny weight into twenty-four grains, etc. This makes 5,700 grains In the troy pound, as that measure of weight is now used in Great Britain today.-Lop don Spectator. ncAicau iioftic-lnnn. We were listening to the playing of a military band the other night when my friend said: "Ho you know that, al though I have heard just about all of the best orchestras and bands in this country at different tiuies, 1 have not discovered a single one that can hold a candle to Mexican musicians?

A lii'iilin iii I.lnt'<»lii*n Substitute. During the earlier days of the war it seems to have been the desire of all prominent men in Washington to have a representative in the ranks, and Lin coln was no exception to the rule. At that time there was a minister named Staples iu Washington, one of whose sons, then aged nineteen, had a desire togo to the front. Lincoln heard of him and, after a conference, selected j him as his representative, and he prov. Ed worthy, for he won honor on the field. He survived the war and finally died iu Stroudsburg, I'a. The inscrip tion on the stone over bis grave reads I as follows: ".I. Suminerfield Staples, \ a private of Company C, One Hundred j and Seventy-sixth regiment. P.

Though nearly eeery nation under the sun claims the Invention of fcbe pastime, it is undoubtedly of oriental origin. The Romans placed over the door of the temple of Janus "Ex Oriente Lux et Ludus Scacehorum" ("Out of the east came light and the game of chess"). Chess was called by the Hindoos "cbeturanga," the four angas—that is, the four members of the army—ele- > phants, horses, chariots and foot sol ■iliers. The Chinese played chess 6,000 years ago as the "game of war." Love. Sllllcus- llow can a man tell when he is really In love? Cynlcus—He can't tell till it's too late.—Philadelphia Rec ord.

Coif StickM. It is of the utmost importance that the golfer should be on terms of the most complete confidence and intimacy ; with all the clubs in his bag, and par ticularly the wooden clubs, from which he gets hi* length. Such confidence cannot be established during the first few seasons of a golfer's experience. It needs a long time and much thought to grasp what are the essential fea tures of a wooden club that make It ex actly suited to the peculiarities of a particular player. Fry's Magazine. An Expensive Short Cut. It will certainly be news to most people, says the Loudon (I lobe, that New ork is a short cut for telegrams between London and Paris and be tween London ami Berlin. However, the fact is vouched for. The messages are received at an agreed address in New York and are immediately passed on for Loudon, Paris or Merlin, as the case may he. The reason for this amazing roundabout to save time is curious. New York time being about six hours behind European time, its wire connections with Europe are al most unoccupied during the London forenoou, while during the same time European wires ire often congested. Via New York, therefore, is a "short cut," but an expensive one It is a good plan to wash figs and dates before giving them to children, or, for that mutter, to any one.

If it is not so, broad, flat tools J are liable to be spoiled. The remedy i for a grindstone lliat has lost its even I ness is to place a flat iron bar with a i sharp edge on the supporting beam in such a manner that it will strike th.' uneven part of the stone at every revo lution until the desired form is again regained. It is necessary that a stone should be kept wet when in use or it would draw the temper of the tools after a few revolutions, but it is not a good plan to allow the lower portion to rest in water when idle. The water soaks that portion and softens it, and it soon gets "out of true," and thus commences a com eof troubles which : is pretty hard to either remedy or stay. Optimist!-- Sure.

It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charin, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. Tin matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal wi the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often coine with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness.
