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

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.

An attractive feature of tho production of

Thursday evening, 21st inst., is tho dancing
of Flurette, an astonishing youDg lady that
has taken New York by storm, and is looked
upon as tho 6uporior of Carmeucoita, Cyrene
and Charlctta and other famous artists. Un
like so many fancy dancers, Flurette is
neither suggestive, vulgar or boisterous. She
is young, charmiug and graceful, and it is
safe to stato that her equal has nover been
seen on the local stage.

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.

There are many strong points about the
presentation of the "Black Hussar," by the
Gilbert Opera Company, that is booked for the
near future. The company containing some
forty members and carrying their own

rarely given ben. Beside this the oostnraes
areloxceedingly fine, and the opera is perfectly
mounted. As a special feature Flurette, tho
famous dancer, has been seen rod, and the

HE soclablo held iu
Bobblns' opera house
last evening was a most
jeujoyablo alfair and
was tho means of mak
ing! an evening pass
most pleasantly for
about thrco hundred
people. 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. Thoy start at
8 o'clock this evening for Chleago, and after a
week's stay there will return to Seattle.
They must be on duty with their companies
by October 1st.
Livery stable keepers should always keep

like it for horses. im
