Pottsvilli:, September 11. lOEnxn) Ub most interesting win. u.ui.b iuio mjjiu was tho proceedings in tlio caso of tbo Com monweaUh ngainst Harry Manfiold, tlio Italian who shot ami killed Goorgo Ochs, of St. Clair, on tho night of tho 10th of August, iRst. Charles A. Snyder, Esq., a young criminal lawyer of moro than tho average ability, an advocate at onco aggrcsslvo to his adversary, attention to his client and fearless, though respectful, beforo tlio court, is senior counsel for tho ac cused, and his able assistant and colleague is Georgo Dyson, Esq., but recently admitted, but who has already given ovidonco of ability. Those young advocates and do fenders raisod thesu points on Monday after noon when tho caso was called for trial, on a motion to quash thu indictment: "First Tho Indictment was illegally drawn, In that it alleged that tho crime had bcou committed on tho lGth day of Septem ber, ten days after tho Grand Jury had found tho bill. "Second That tho Grand Jurors were il legally drawn because one of tho Jury Com missioners was Illegally elected. "Third That tho Deputy District After ney had no'authority to go before tlio Grand Jury whilo that body was deliberating u bill against tho prisoner. "Fourth That tho JudgeH were not present when tho jurors wero'selected for tho present year." Jlr. Dis rict Attorney Iiyan indulged in a laborod argument which did not seem to either convince tbo court or anyone elso that there was any legal ground for his deputy to stand on, or that the words "10th day of September" made an amendablo error, or that if there was any legal authority for such an oflicer as Deputy District Attorney that that officer had any right in tho Grand Jury room. He was followed by Mr. Snyder who cooly, calmly and In a manner which would havo done credit to men at tho liar old enough to bo his father, poured hot shot iuto Mr. Ryan's deputy's indictment, and at Its closo tho court quashed it, stating that the District Attorney agreed to tho quashing I ho listening public aro now just as much in tho dark as beforo as to which of Mr. Snyder's many stormy points induced the District Attorney to agree to tho quashing and tho court to give judgment that way; so to relieve tho public anxiety and curiosity I will say that Judge Ilechtel, although de ciding nothing in particular, evidently con sidered that the wrong date specified in the Indictment, as tho dato of the murder, and tho loose title of tho Deputy District Attor ney to tho position ho holds, and tho ques' tionablo right to tho latter official's presence in the Grand Jury room, were together strong enough reasons to cause tho couit to set aside tho indictment and not risk a trial of so iui portant a case tu a document tho finding of which was surrounded by so many question ablo circumstances. Ono thing is certain and that is no matter if tho acts of an illegally elected Jury Commissioner aro legal or not, it was demonstrated by Mr. Snyder's very creditablo argument that Mr. James O'Don- nel had no right to bo his own successor and a quo warranto may bo issued vory soon to oust him. Ho is a good enough official, but ho should resign at onto and save tho ox penso of his removal, JUSTICE TO A CONDEMNED OFFICER, Tho court on Monday refused a now trial for Constable Martin Ziegler, who was convicted last fall of tho killing of William Kepley while resitting arrest, of murder in tho sec ond degree. Martin Ziegler will be missed in this community, He can be Illy spared. There aro in I'ottsville at the present writing a regiment of so called viliol-tougued, gossipy women who do moro harm to mankind in one day than can be righted in a year, who could very well bo spared out of this town; thero aro men practicing at the Bar, farmers edit lug newspapers, some practicing medicine, a few running for office, keeping gin-mills by grace of a liberal court, doing alleged jury duty that is, drawiuglpay as Jurors whilo by the grace of a liberal clerk they are seldom at the court house; there are some, misfit base ball players here, and quiet a fow gamblers who never would be missed if put ou the list of absent ones, but Pottsville a year ago had only one constable, and his name was Martin Ziegler. Only this week it was demonstrated how mush a constable like Martin Ziegler is needed in lhbtown. SCABS!) BY BLITFKSR8, Two exocution wrilB were put in the bands of a wooden-headed constable of this town Ui othr day and b wii taut to Mil the ped and ware stesk, A, of a retail aloon, He! went there at the appoint! 4. 'HI hour, was admitted to tho placo by tho owner and his brother, who shut tho doors and barred ov-rybody elso out. Thoy then poured rum down tho unresisting neck of tho officer and got him drunk. Then ho was inducd to conduct a salo and with tho plalntltf, his lawyers and tho public shut out, and only tlio defendant, his burly big brother and a bar tondcr for bidders, this lout of a constablo sold a cash regliter which coat 175 for $2.35 and a safo which cost $150 for $1. Ho stayed in the placo as long as ho could got a free drink and long after tho saloonkeeper and his brother had been arrested by another constablo ou tho prosecution of tlio platutill' in tho executions for obstructing legal process. This Inst conitablo is another illustration of our claim that Martin Ziegler will bo missed in this town is now badly missed and has been slueo his incarceration Inst winter. With tho warrant to aircst tho bluffing brothers in his pocket tho constablo, who is onp of tlio biggest men hi town, was afraid to oxecuto it on two half-drunken men without nsslstanco and he, was fully an hour moving his culprits from tho saloon to tlio 'squire's office, only 300 yards distant. "Keddy" Ziegler would havo walked into that soloon and by tho simple words "Como on" would havo had his men beforo tho justice in ten minutes. He knows how to conduct n sale, too, aud never allowed a defendant in an execution to ply him with rum, much less get him drunk and havo fun with him. WHAT JUIK1E QltEEN SAID. And this Is tho man who has been refused a new trial In tho faco of tho fact that tho District Attorney who prosecuted him and tho counsel who defended him havo been qualified to tbo assertion that tho lato lamented Judge. Green, who tried tho case, told them after tho verdict of murder in tho second degrco that bo was not satisfied with that verdict, that it should havo been noth ing moro than manslaughter or an acquittal. I, for ono, am ready to sign a petition for a pardon for Martin Ziegler at once, and I hope evory good, order-loving, law-respectlug citizen of this county will join mo in the good work. I havo no comment to make about tho action of the Judge or Judges who refused Ziegler a new trial, or tlio causes which induced them to refuso It. That ro spect for tho judiciary which should bo the most prominent trait in tho character of evety good citizen forbids mo to even question tho justice or correctness of tho decision made in tho caso. I will only reiterate now whatmany aro saying all around me, and that is that Martin Zlcglor ought to havo a pardon if it is only to return to Pottavillo what it lost by his imprisonment a cou. stable wjio knows his duty and dares to do it, N.

I was an attentive listener to tbodollghtful music furnished by tho Grant Hand on Tues day evening, at tho north end of Main street. Theso open air concerts aro becoming popular with our people But thcro is ono feature about theso concerts that should require tho attention of tho authorities, and that is tho practice of small boys aud girls congregating around tho stand, near tho band, and making so much nolso that it is impossible to hoar thfc music. I am Informed by membors of tho band that it is vory annoying to them, and at times thoy cannot hear tho sound of the Instruments of tho other players. Thoy say thoy aio perfectly willing and anxious to continue these open air concerts, but feel that tho public should show their appreciation by presoivlng order, or seeing that it is done. This matter should receive the attention of tho pollco at tho next concert. Obe. Court Notes.

Messrs. James J. Lynch and Joseph Latham wero tho honored guests of tho evening. To sonio extent they wero taken by surpriso and in responding to somo re. marks mado in behalf of .tlio conipauy thoy spoko feelingly. Messrs. Lynch and Latham wero residents' of Shenandoah up to a few years ago, when they went west to seek their fortunes. Whilo hero they wore among tho most popular and active members of tho Columbia lloso & Steam Fire Engine Company. Thoy event ually drifted to the groat northwest and located in Seattle Soon nfter they secured positions under tho paid firo department of that city, and for sonio timo past havo held responsible positions under it. Mr. Lynch is chief engineer of Co. No. 2 and Mr. Latham is captain of Hook & Ladder Co. No. 2. About flvo weeks ago tho gentlemen left their homo in tho northwest ou a G0-day lcavo of ab'ence, and after spending a week at Chicago traveled to tho scenes of their earlier days. They wero received hero cordially by their former colleagues in tho volunteer firo department service and when they anuounced their intention to start west again the Col umbia "boys" commenced preparing a testi monlal for them. The sociablo formed part of tho testimonial. Tho members of tho company assembled at tho cugino houso at 8 o'clock and headed by the Grant Baud maiched to tho hall selected for tho festivities, Messrs. Lynch and Latham occupying tho position of honor in tho parade, escorted by a committeo. Upon arriving at tho hall thu guests of tho evening were received by thu wives and sweethearts of tho firemen. The band played soveral selections and then the famous Schopi orchestra put In an appear ance "On with the dance" was tho cry after that, aud it was kept up until after midnight. At ten o'clock luncheon was served ou the stago and it was certainly an elaborate ono. It consisted of sandwiches of various kinds, relishes and fruits, and au abundance of various liquid refreshments. In addition to tbe concert, dancing and re freshments, thero was au entertainment in which tho Columbia Gleo Club aud others favored the gathering with excellent vocal music and some very pleasing specialties. Jokes of all kinds wero also indulged in during the ovening. Ono that caused con siderable merriment was an application by a member of tho company to work a shell game in the hall. Several pretended to favor the scheme and, of course, thero wore many expressions of indignation. Tho stronger tlio protests became tbo stronger became the laughter. At the proper time tho member explained that he intended ordering oysters on the half sholl for all hands, but in the faco of so much opposition he was obliged to change his mind and keep his money. Theguestsof the evening said thoy never speut a more pleasant time and were sur prised at tho scale of tho event. The mem bers of the company were constantly on the alert to keep tbe fun rolling uuoeasiugly and. felt good over the success of their eSbrts. There was one regret, however.' Gold medals had been ordered for presentation at the sociable to Messrs. Lynch, and Latham, aud they failed to arrive. It was announced that if the medals arrive to-day they will be presented to the gentlemen this evening. If they do not, they will be forwarded to the gentlemen in Seattle. To day the visiting firemen were in ebargo of a comiuittM of the Columbia "boys" mak ing a final tour of tho town.
