The decree of the court was that each pay the cost of prosecution, the remainder of the sentence being sus pended. Each of the men was given distinctly to understand that he will be obliged to liquidate the costs. The whole matter,they were informed, will be held in abeyance and that if at any time their conduct is in the least sus picious, a bench warrant will be is sued and the sheriff will bring them into court, when the sentence, now suspended, will be imposed,which im plies that they will be given the full penalty, three years in the peniten tiary.

Address as above HUNTERS BAG THE LIMIT Tho returns are beginning to come ill from hunters who have been trying their luck since the opening of the season and the general verdict is that game of all kimls is plentiful. At least a dozen of Danville Nim rods have bagged tho limit of squir rels in one day, namely, six of the combined kinds, fox, black or grey squirrels. Pheasants, which have been scarce for a few years, are said to be on the increase and very good luck is report ed. Hunters are inclined to believe that there was a disease among pheas ants during last year and the one pre vious. Birds were found lying dead ami not a few were shot that were evidently diseased. The birds this year are plump and healthy, in addi tion to which they are more numer ous, facts which would indicate that the disease has died out. It is believed by hunters thai wo are indebted to the game preserve of Hon. Alexander Billmeyer for the abund ance of squirrels and wild turkeys that are found on Montour Ridge. Squir rels, especially, are propagated by thousands at the game preserve and it is only natural to suppose that large numbers of them yield to their wild iustinct and seek the mountains- that lie so near. The wild turkeys spend the summer on Montour Ridge and that they all return to the game pre serve as winter approaches is hardly probable. RABBITS IN TOWN. It is believed that the rabbit season, which opens on November Ist, will bring rare sport, for the reason that rabbits this season are more plentiful than they were ever known to be in years past. Not only are they found on every side in the country, but the cotton tails have actually invaded town and have taken up quarters in the gardens and backyards. A fine big fellow each night about 11 :,'!0 o'clock is observed to cautiously make his way down East Market street and after pausing awhile at the Mon tour house corner to speed over to the courthouse lawn,disappearing in that locality. Several rabbits are known to live in the back yards 011 West Mahon ing street. Four large rabbit? have a hiding place under the piles of scrap iron in the yard below the Reading Iron works and are daily seen caper ing about the spot by persons passing on the Northumberland road. FUNEARL OF MRS. MOWERY Mrs. William R. Mowrey, whose death occurred Friday, was consigned to the grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery Monday Jafternoon.

Suavely, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, of which the deceased was a member. The pall bearers were three sons and three grandsons of the deceased: John A., Samuel and Elmer Mowrey and Ed ward, Joseph and Frank Yeager. Among those from out of town that attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Eli Snideman, of Espy; George Albeek and Mrs. Ella Cherry of Wilkes-Barre. HENRY LYON ILL.

In the Wilkes-Barre courthouse graft cases the prosecution has been ordered togo 011 at the expense of the county commissioners. The commis sioners contended that they could not legally appropriate money to pay the expenses incident toward having ex pert witnesses come from other States to testify in the proceedings. It was stated however, that the prosecution could not be carried 011 without these witnesses, so that after a conference witn the chief prosecuting officers of the county it was agreed that the com missioners assume the responsibility. 111 the case of James L. Smith, Geo. W. Worloy and John Eckaril, who are charged with trying to corrupt Charles A. Snee, a juror in the United States court in the trial of a criminal bank er, it was attempted to have the pro secution quashed 011 the ground that 110 proof could be shown that the de fendants knew that Snee was a juror. The judge of the United States court at Pittsburg refused to overrule the motion and the defendants pleaded nolle contendere (110 defense). SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. Will. HE! Mrs. William R.
