POTTSVILLE, Sept. fith. Criminal court work commenced here In earnest yester day and attracted great throngs of people from all parts of the county, the represen tations from Mnhanoy City and Shenan doah being especially large and the for mer place contributing the most impor tant cases. Some civil business was also transacted, but not in open court. Monday's business was restricted to a routine order such as lirtcnlne to the re ports of constables, etc., and was of little interest, except when Constable Tnlieain Phillips made his report. M. M. Burke, Esq., was present and in open court put several pointed questions to the constable as to the tatter's knowledge of nny viola tion of the liquor law on Sunday in the Second ward of Shenandoah. .Mr. Phillips answered that ho knew of no violations and when Mr. Burke asked if the con stable did not know that on Sunday after noon last twentv men went into Pnt. King's place in a body, tho constable said he had no such knowledge, as he was away on Sunday. As a result of the Inquiry the court directed the District Attorney to investi- &Rte the matter and that official gave onstable Phillips similar instructions. One of the most important cases taken up by the Grand Jury yesterday was the unci suit or w. w. Lewis, or Alauanoy City, against ex-Clerk of the Courts John E. A. Griffith, a Mahnnoj City sport, ami Alex Donahue, manager of the Lancaster base ball team. The Grand Jury ignored the bill and placed the costs on the prose cutor, Mr. Lewis. This case arose out of an articlo pub lished by the Miners' Journal of this place several weeks ago, in which it wa stated that, when bidding a number of depart ing friends farewell at the Lehigh Valley station In Mahanoy City, Lewis fell be I. T( neath a train anu sustained tne loss of both his legs. As Lewisisprobablyoneof the most widely known sports in the re- gion.tne report, wnicu was utterly without foundation, snread like fire. Distracted relatives and sympathetic frieuds fl jcked to L,ewls' notel in juan-inoy uity to oiler him consolation and sympathy during his presumed dying moments and Lewis claimed that he spent n small fortune during the subsequent eight or ten days answeringtelegrams and letters to calm the unwan anted apprehensions of his menus. After the excitement of the time passed away Lewis began a computation of damages, his first idea being a civil suit, out upon reuecuou uis tuouguts turned to a criminal procedure. The Journal made n statement of the case, explaining the circumstances by which its reporter gleaned the Information and placing the responsibility nr. me floors oi Toole, Deogau, Griffith and Donahue. The accused men set up as n defense that they gave the reporter no informa tion. They said they were in Toole's saloon at Pottsville and some one in the party, as a joke, started a story about au imaginary accident on a railroad. Am putated legs, Mnhanoy City, W. W. Lewis, etc., were referred to in a rambling manner nud a Journal reporter, who had entered in tho meantime, picked tip all the crumbs of the conversation and, upon his return to the newspaper office, fromed the report which caused tho sensation. It is not known exactly what view the Grand Jury took of the case, but it is said that the result is not satisfactory to Mr. Lewis and proceedings will be Insti tuted through another channel. It Is generally believed, however, that the matter will drop where it is. Another important case considered to day was that in which John Tahauey, William Welch aud William Drennnn. of Yatesville. were charged with the murder of an Italian named Frank Daynoln. The Italian, on his way to Jacksous, parsed through Yatesville and was accosted by some young men. An exchange of words resulted in a combat, in which the Italian's skull was badly fractured. He (lieu soon after being removed to hn home After tho assault some of the youug men alleged to have been upon the scene ills Hppeared : bnt the next day a youth named William iirennan was arrested and com mitted without bail, it being alleged that he bad been seen to strike the victim with his "neK leir. Tauanev nnd Weloh were subsequently arrested and arrange ment were made by which the three young men were released under hail. To-day the Grand Jury took up the case auu niter considering tne evidence ad duced by the Commonwealth's Investiga tion of the case, through the District At torney's office, discharged Drennau, but found a true bill against Tahaney and Welch. One of the young men who must stand trial on tms terrible charge Is a son of Hon. John Tahaney, ex-Heprebentntive from the First district. The friends of the accused express confidence of acquittal at the trial of the case. Among the Shenandoah civil matters which received attention to-day was the oase of Christ. Schmidt against Thomas Waters. Mr. Schmidt claims 870 as taxts due for 1800 91 and Mr. Waters claims a Bet-off on account of the sale of some musloal instruments, in which he says .ur. scnmiut anu mraseu uecame inter est ed.

On Friday and Saturday the coal diggers go against the county sentginutx. Boss, who Is playing short with the Ashlands, Is the bandy Hun who was a member of the Shenandoah team until last week. Cote, who caught for the Lancasters here last Sunday, will join the Louisville National league club after the State league season closes. It is said that Toman lias decided to re tire from the diamond for the balance of the season. The injury he sustained from a pitched ball still troubles him. When Pottsville praises anything In Shenandoah look out for a wink of the other eye. There is Irony in tho praise of our team by the press of that place. Two State league games will be played at the Trotting park Sunday Afternoon, next, between the home team nnd the Hnrrlsburg club. Tlioso games were scheduled for Monday nnd Tuesday, but as tho Shennndoahs have a chance to piny nt Atlantio City on those two days the Harrisburgs have consented to play them here on Sundny. Who says that Shenandoah is not play ing ball. The defeat of Lancaster in an exhibition game at Shennndonh on Sun dny by n score of 15 to 4, and yesterday's victory of the Mountaineers over Dona hue's men on the lattcr's cround. is ono of the surprises of tho week.

When King Kelly stated that he lost Ki.Ono tho story was pretty generally doubted. He is probably trying to get tip a sympathetic boom to counteract his bad singing when he takes up the thea trical rond again. We aro informed that three ladies and gentlemen drovo to Mahanoy City a few nf tcrnoons since nnd that on the way back "the Indies disappeared and the males wero surprised." This is odd information, but as no people are reported missing from tho town wo suppose tho ladies knew whnt tney were auout and got uorno nil rigut. Droucht prevails not nlono In this state Imt thrnnuhnilt tho pnnntrr nnd tho lain crops are on tho verge of failure unless re lief comes immediately in soaring rain storms. The reports from the Westunveit that entire sections have been burned out leaving absolutely nothing for the farm ers to harvest, nnd the losses aggregate many millions. The condition in this state imperils tho coal industry, a number of mines hnving been compelled to close down, nnd this situation, coming directly upon the new agreement to restrict tho production, is especially unfortunate. The reservoirs nud dams are exhausted and the supply from creeks and springs hns fallen away to the shadow of former volumes. Perhaps tho most serious effects nre found In the conn- ties of Schuylkill, Berks, Isorthumber lnnd. Lebanon. Lehltrh and Luzerne. In the principal towns the supply hns been cut down in household purposes only, nnd in cities liko Wilkes-Barre and Allentown the nosition of affairs has nil the touch of a calamity.
