OOIIT convened yester
day morning with a
largo attendance, and
tho Judgos handed
down several important
decisions, among them
being tho sentence of
Martin Zelglcr, tho
Pottsvillo constahlo
charged with tho kil
ling of William Keploy
lastOctobor. Zciglor was tried boforo tho
lato Judgo Green, and was convicted of
murder in tho second degree. Shortly after
the trial Judgo Greon died, and yesterday
morning Judgo Bcchtol Imposed the sentence.
Tho lawyers for tho prisoner male a strong
appeal for mercy, Mr. Ilenning stating that
Judgo Green told him ho intended tosctasldo
tho vordict, as It should have been man
slaughter. On tho other hand tho Judgo
claimed that tho lamented jurist had In
formed th6 court that tho verdict was a truo
one. Tho convicted constahlo will, according
to tho sentence, be compelled to servo seven
years and sis months at solitary confinement
in tho Eastern Penitentiary. Ho was given
credit for tho sis mouths ho has already
served in tho county jail, which ioavos soveu
years for him to servo. Tho condemned man
gavo no outward sign of his feolings when ho
heard tho sentence

Tho Butler Township School Board muddlo
has at last been settled by tho decision of tho
court in doposing tho two old boards and
appointing a new ouo. Judgo Pershing
handed down tho decision. A petition had
been presented to the court asking that the
contending factions bo removed and a new
board bo appointed. Tho court granted tho
prayer iu tho following opinion :
"And now, Septembor 18, 1893, upon duo
consideration of tho above petition and tho
evidence beforo tho court, it is ordered and
decreed that Terrenco Ginloy, Owen Conroy,
Georgo Kesslcr, John Lavollo and Joseph
Bilder, who allego that they constitute the
legal board of directors for said Butler town
ship School District; nnd also that Georgo
Miller, Thomas Nolan, Wm. Watcrshide,
John Cunningham, Martin Rowland and
John liuruieistcr, who claim that they alone
constitute tho legal board of directors for
said school district, be, and thoy are hereby
removed from office, as iu tho judgment of
tho court neither of said boards has been
legally constituted nor legally organized, and
their acts as directors are without authority
of law.
"And it is hereby ordered and decreed that
tho said Terrcnce Glnley, Owen Conroy,
George Kcsaler, John Lavclle, Joseph Biidcr,
George Miller, Thomas Nolan, William
Waltershide, John Cunningham, Mattiu
Rowland and John Burmeister bo restrained
and enjolnod from acting as School Directors
for said Butler Township School District, or
in any way exercislug tho rights, powers and
privileges pertaining to said otllcc, aud that
they pay tho costs of this proceeding.
"And it Is further ordered and decreed that
without delay they hand over to the School
Board appointed at this date all books, papers,
monies and properties of whatever kind
belonging to the said school district in their
possession or control of either of them.
"Aud It is further directed that Oeorge
Grcssang, Joseph R. Rhoades, Isaac F.
r.ccd, (residents of South Butler,) John
Cleary, Thomas McCormlck and Stephen
Iloran, (residents of North Butler,) who aro
hereby appointed, shall constltuto the Board
of Directors for tho said Butler Township
School District until their successors aro
chosen according to law."
Our readers will remember that there were
two sets of directors claiming each to bo tho
legal board, and which lod to a number of
disgraceful scenes. The petition of tho tax
paying citizens finally settled tho matter by
tho decision above quotod.
EVANS SENTENCED.
William Evans, of Glrardville, was sen
tenced by Judge Weidman to four years'
Imprisonment for attempting to blow up his
home at Glrardville while his family were
asleep. His attempt failed of success, as the
fire was extinguished before It had gained
much headway aud the family escaped.
Evans had a grudge against the Coal aud
Iron Company, which owned the building.
Tho particulars of this caso having first
appeared in these columns, our readers are
familiar with tho fiendish crime

What He Sees nnd Hears During Ills
Travels.
I was Informed yesterday, by a personal
friend, that a certain young man In town
felt that ho had good grounds for a libel
suit because of a paragraph that appeared
recently in this column. Tho young man in
question appealed to a legal advisor rs to
what would bo tho best moans to go to work
to break up tho Heram). Tho lawyer
chargod him a feo of $.".00 and then advised
tho young man to buy tho paper and run It
six months. Tho "limb of tho law" cer
tainly gavo his cliont good advice. It would
result iu "breaking up" your olllco, beyond
question.
This caso reminds mo of another Incident,
in which I figured as tho aggressor, and a
nowly-mado Bonodlct tho nggrioved. Your
readers no doubt remember rending the
paragraph reolting the oxpcrlcnco of a young
wife buying beef for tho first moal after tho
nuptial ties. I was much amused listening to
two young men trying to conviuco another
that he was the party reforrcd to. Tho ar
gument becamo s) heated that I expected it
to result In blows, but fortunately such was
not tho caso. Neither, however, was con
vinced of tho othor's error. To say which of
tho tlireo wore correct, would bo "letting tho
eat out of tho bag."
An idea Is suggested by some original mind
which had tired of autograph albums, numis
matics, Uowers from tho gravo of colobrltios,
etc. A fad for making collections of kisses of
celebrated men is rapidly becoming popular
among tho ladles of Gormany. Amerloan
pcoplo nover do tilings by halvos, and If this
fad should become popular iu this country all
celebrities from Sandow to Grover Clovoland
'will bo asking thcmselvos lu despair whether
thoy were bom groat or had had greatness
thrust upon them.
Well, well, well ! Was thoro weeping in
Pottsvillo Saturday night? I should say.
Thcro wa3 not a cultured tear duct from tho
eyes of thoso cultured pcoplo that was not
raw from the constant flow of tho brluy, and
tho silk mill tho prldo of now humble
Pottsvillo was asked to contribute its ontiro
product as mops to savo modern Athens from
a humid grave. Pottsvillo is noted for Its
great desire after knowledge, and that desiro
ovorcamo its great misery sufficient for its
intellectual lights finding out tho derivation
of tho word Bradley. Some traced the
mild mannored twirlor's ancestors back to
the early stages of tho Roman empire, while
others were suro it was tho first word Daniel
O'Couiiell used, and meant, "I am big, but
this beats mo." Poor Pottsvillo! Poor
cultured Potts without tho ville!
That every bit of building space in the
town is being used for building is amply
exemplified by tho new structure which
stands at the southeast corner of Lloyd and
Bowers streets. The plot which until recently
only boasted of the possession of a coal
shanty now ranks side by sldo in appearauco
with its neighbors with an air of pride,
It is 10 x 21 fcot in size, and has two stories of
two rooms each. The front has been so built
that It gives tho structure the appearanco of
being as largo as the more pretentious dwel
lings bcsldo It, and now the old coal shanty
must pull along with hardly onough ground
to stand upon,
Tho New York and Philadelphia Sunday
papers published lengthy articles In reference
to tho future management of the Beading
railroad, in which it was predicted that
President Harris would shortly tender, if he
had not already done so, his resignation as
the head officer of that company. Theso
articles went on further to state that Oscar
G, Murray, second vice president of tho Big
Four Railroad, will become president of tho
Reading Company, and will in a few days
tender his resignation under the Big Four
with that end iu vlow. The "affidavit editor'
of the county soat Immediately bob) up with
another "exclusive" Interview, claiming to bo
the first pajier to predict Harris' resignation
Your readers will remember I predicted such
a oourso for tbo aforesaid editor. IIo could
hardly miss tho chance in this "exclusive"
business, having statod in different issues of
his sheet that Harris may resign, that he
would resign, that ho would be compolled to
resign. "Yon can fool some of the peoplo all
tho time, all the peoplo some of the time, but
you can't fool all tho pooplo all the time."

Literary Notes.
The leading feature of Uarper't II teWy
for September 23d is the first half of a two
part serial by Charles Egbert Craddoek, en
titled "Tho Moonshiners at Hoho-heebee
Falls." Tho attractive department of music
and drama, odltod by Reginald DeKoveu, is
resumed; yachting receives a duo sharo of
attention In illustration and text, and T. do
Thulstrup and W. A. Kogers contribute
striking full-pago Impressions of tho World's
Fair. Tho methods of looking after the un
employed in tho West, Sau Francisco's oom'
ing Midwinter Fair, and tho eroat athletic
meeting In Chicago are subjects which also
enrich and diversify an unusually attraetlvo
number.

UNDREDS of pcoplo
wero attractod from
their homos at a lato
hour last night by an
alarm of fire soundod
from box 23, at tho
corner of Main and
Centra streets. Tho two
hoso companies responded and wero directed
down West Centro street. Thoy wero soon
turned back being told that their services
wero not required. A groat crowd of people
who had gathored about tho bos from which
tho alarm was sounded lingered about tho
streets for some tlmo and being unable to
glean any information returned to their
homos with tho conclusion that tho alarm was
a falso ono.
Tho real oauso of tho alarm was known to
comparatively fow peoplo to-day. Tho fire
was in tho houso of Patrick, alias Fox,
Hughes on West Raspberry alley. A re
porter called at tho houso to-day and if ho
had recorded all ho heard of tho circum
stances preceding and following tho sounding
of tho alarm ho would havo had enough
matter to fill several columns.
Hughos was intoxicated when ho reached
his homo somo timo after uiuo o'clock last
ovoniug and quarreled with his wife. IIo
drovo her from tho houso and then taking a
lamp went upstairs to get his clothing. Soon
after tho neighbors saw flamos in tho houso
and an alarm was sounded. Hughes put tho
fianios out without assistance and beforo
much damago was dono.
At eleven o'clock Policemen Casey and
McGuire took Hughts Into custody on com
plaint of his step-son, Richard Hornbergcr,
who charged that Hughes threatened to kill
him.
Tho accused was taken beforo Justico
Cardin and as ho was too drunk to bo given a
hearing ho was put under $300 bail for a
hearing to-nlgbt.
After being released Hughos returned to
his homo and kept tbo neighborhood in an
anxious state until this morning. Mean
whllo his wife and son wero under the pro
tcction of neighbors. To-night Hughes may
be called upon to plead to another charge
It is tho opinion of his family that whllo in a
rage ho dashed tho lamp to tho floor of his
bedroom, but a man who resides on the
opposlto side of tho alloy claims that he saw
Hughes stagger against a tabic and knock
the lamp over.

A MYSTERY CLEARED.
llody of Matthew Sheehan Found In n
Creek.
On Friday last Matthew Sheehan, of
Mahanoy Plane, disappeared from his homo
and failed to return. It was learned that he
left a friend's houso at 11 o'clock Friday
night and after that all trace of him was
lost. On Sunday his body was found in tho
crock about five hundred yards from his
homo. The friends do not suspect foul play.
Sheeuan was obliged to cross the creek on a
narrow plank walk. It is supposed that in
the darkness he made a misstep and in the
fall his bead struck tho stones at tho bottom
of the creek with such force as to rcuder him
insensible and caused death by drowning.

crashod down upon it from a heavy straight
grade
Reports as to tho responsibility aro conflict
ing. From ouo sourco it is reported that tho
flagman of the first section failed to run back
a sufficient distance to flag tho section follow
ing. Another report is to tho startling effect that
the engineer of tho second section was asloep
and did not see tho signal of tho rear brako
man of tho first section until it was too lata
