OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
Special llEitAt.li Correspondence.
PoTTSVILLE, NOV. 18.
HE caso of Harry Man
fred, tho Italian
charged with tho mur
der of Georgo Ochs at
St. Clair, in August
last, was concluded yes
terday afternoon and
resulted In a conviction
of the accused. Aftor
deliberating over throe
hours tho jury ren
dered a verdict of murdor In tho first degreo
and tho pilsonor was remanded for sentence.
Tho counsel for tho prisoner mado a hard
light for their cliont yestorday morning and
laid all posslblo stross upon tho plea that tho
wife of tho murdered mau was of tainted
character and that it was upon an under
standing had with her that Manfred returned
to tho Ochs houso on tho fatal night. It was
also maintained that Ochs sprang upon Man
frcd and was beating him at tho time tho
shooting occurred. Manfred considered his
life was In dangor. Ho fired aimlessly and
that tho shot had a fatal effect was only an
accident. Tho prisoner contradicted him
self on sovcral points, howover, and broko
tho weight of his testimony with tho jury.
After tho verdict had been rendered and
tho court adjourned ono of tho jury admitted
that tho Commonwealth had proved Mrs.
Och's character unlmpoachablo and it had
great weight with tho jury.
All tho testimony and arguments in tho
case woro submitted by 2p in. yesterday and
at that hour Judge Bcchtel commonccd to
chargo tho jury, which retired at 3:30. At
0:18 p. m. the foreman announced tho verdict
of "Guilty of murder in tho first degreo."
Manfred did not botray tho slightest emotldn
at this trying moment.
Judgo Bechtol discharged the jury until !
o'clock this morning and tho prisoner wus led
out of court haudculfed to Deputy Sheriff
Ochs.
Aftor tho disposition of the murder trial
there was a littlo "tllf" beforo Judgo Bechtol
In a caso involving Shenandoah people. Tho
suit was ono for ful so Imprisonment, tho
chargo being mado by ono John Redmond, a
Polo, and against James and John Higgins
and Constable. Thomas Roland. Redmond
claimed that tho defendants abused him In
trying to collect taxes.
W. J. Whitchouse and Sol. Foster, Esqs.,
appeared for Redmond and J. F. Whalen and
M. M. Burko appeared for tho defendants.
When the ease opened a uisputo aroso
between counsel as to tho employment of au
Interpreter. Mr, Whltohouso wanted tho
services of .ono Frank Thomas, as, he alleged,
Moses Rothstein, the court interpreter, had
an intorest in the caso.
Judge Bechtol askod for proof of tho state
ment and when it was not presented Roth-
stein was instructed to proceed as interpreter,
wheroupon Messrs. Whltehouso and Foster
withdrew from tho case. District Attorney
Ryan and his assistant, Edgar Bechtel, took
their places.
Philip Yedinsky and Frank Thomas aro
no longer court Interpreters. They Wire
dismissed during the first part oi this week
and Moses Rothstein, of Pottsvllle, and Mr.
Lawson, of Mlnorsvllle, wero appointed In
their stead. Tho cause of the dismissal has
not been mado public. A court interpreter
gets $3 per day and the employment Is mado
by the District Attorney.
The criminal court term will bo continued
nest week and tho weok following. Tho
coses against J. J. Dougherty and Samuel G.
Roberts, both of Shenandoah, will bo oalled
up for trial on Monday.
What He Seen Hint Ht'i.rs During Ilia
TrrtveU.
A spiritualistic seauco was given in Sha
mokln tho other night and tho uowspaper
reporters of that town declared it a fake.
Shamokln people, novor could Bwallow any
other than liquid spirits.
Occasionally tho audiences in Ferguson's
thoatro aro mdo nervous by hearing a crash
of glass. This has been noticed several
times slnco tho season opened, but it was only
recontly that tho causo of tho glass breaking
became known. On tho Oak street side of
tho thoatro building are windows which ox-
tend from a point about six fcot abovo tho
pavement to tho colling of tho gallery. Boys
with inoro zeal than caution have boon in tho
habit of climbing to tho window bIII and by
climbing of a character which would lo
crcditablo to a cat thoy work their way up to
the top of tho upper sash, a distance of about
twenty flvo foot from tho ground, and aro
assisted from tholr perilous position by friends
in tho gallery. Occasionally, when scramb
ling over tho window sash a boy's foot will
strike and break a pano of glass, and that
accounts for tho nervousness caused tho
audiences. Sooiotlmes tho upper sash of tho
long windows aro lowered until a boy oan
grasp tho upper part of It. His confederates
in tho thoatro then force tho sash up until
tho dangling urchin is on a level with tho
gallory, when ho is pullod In. Thoy are
dangerous methods for stealing iuto tho
thoatro and may roe ult in a tragedy some
time.
Tho mlnstrol company which appoarcd
at Ferguson's thoatro on Thursday ovenlng
won tho gratltudo of tho nudienco for ono
thing at least. Ths program called for tho
singing of "Two Littlo Girls in Blue" and
"Do Do," but both wero omitted and a parody
on tho formor substituted for thorn. Almost
ovcry company which has appeared hero
this season renderod those songs and the
patrons of tho theatre havo becomo so tired
of them that the Introductory strains aro
nauseating.
For somo timo past I havo observed a heavy
set man, with grizzly, bushy whiskers, and
a general dilapidated appearance, strolling
about tho street. Ho is a porfoct typo of a
tramp, but has tho good senso not to moddle
with peoplo and has therefore escaped tho
attention of thn law preservers. That old
tramp Is tho remains of what was ono day
one of tho most successful men in Lacka
wanna county. A townsman who claims to
have Information of tho unfortunate's oarly
life says ho hold a position as mining engi
necr in tho uppor region and his salary was
$5,000 per annum. My informant was not
positive as to tho roal causo of the poor
fellow's downfall, but it has been said that a
wife's bad faith had something to do with it,
Tho Borough Council of llcllcfonto has
ordered tho enforcement of an ordinanco
which prohibits boys under fourteen years of
ago from being on tho street after eight
o'clock in tho ovening. Tho police havo
been Instructed to arrest all such boys who aro
on tho streets after that hour. This step was
taken becauso of complaints that boys block
ado tho streets and corners at night and offend
passcisby with profane and vulgar language,
bnch an ordluauce would not be a bad thing
for Shenandoah, whero young boys aro out
until lato at night taking up tho timo that
should bo devoted to lessons in noisy games
and loafing on tho street corners, but It would
tako a police force doublo tho size of tho pre.
scut ono to onforco the ordinance.
A story is told of a happy-go-lucky old
man who, when seated at the dinnor tablo
with his family and a number of friends, pro
coeded to help himself to what thero was on
the tablo and when somebody askod, "Who
will say graco ?" ho responded, "Say what
you like, you can't turn my stomach."
witnessed somethiug yesterday which caused
mo to wondor what tho old man in the story
would havo said had ho witnessed it. On
dirty door mat in front of a kitchen door
rested a big piece of beef, hold down by the
bulky baro foot of a Hungarian woman who
wielded a dirty ax fast and furious until she
reduoed tho hank of meat to pieces suitable
in size for stowing. It was a disgusting
sight.

The theatrical company which boasts of a
play depicting scenes of life in the anthracite
coal fields and the operations of the mines
runs a big risk In producing the play in the
field which it is supposed the play represents.
In nlncty-nlno cases out of a hundred tho
the dramatists hit as faraway from the mark
as can be imagined. It is all vory woll to
show peoplo who do not know anything
about a coal breaker how easy It is to rescue
a man from the very grasp of the rollers,
but that kind of realism cannot go down in
tho anthracite field. Tho rollers are not
built that way. But these discrepancies are
overlooked, I suppose, by those who seek
the excitement which accompanies th
sensational drama.
Manager Ferguson should givo us a few
less shows and give us something a great deal
better in quality. This is a good show town
and tho theatre could be crowded each time
if nothing but first class troupes were booked,
However, it is not wholly the manager's
fiuilt as good shows seem to be rare, and far
between this season. Even those towns
which belong to the MUhler circuit are
Making vigorously because of the number of
"snide" shows which are thrown upoutberu,

the dates of the changes at tho top. If they
