MRS. MITCHELL'S FATE.
round Unconscious In Iter Sleeping Apnrt
ment This Afternoon,
Mrs. Aim Mitchell, an aged widow residing
on West Centre street, was found unconscious
In Iter bed at 12tS0 o'clock tills afternoon,
suffering from sufTooation of coal gas. Dr. V,
N. Stein was called, but after resorting to
licrnio troatment lie concluded thatdeath waf
inevitable.
Mrs. Mitchell occupied the basement of 301
West Centro street and lived ftlono. It Id
divided Into two apartments, otlo being usW
as a small candy and grocery store and the
other ns a bedroom. Each apartment lias a
window on the Centro streot side, There Is
a kitchen range in the store and Mrs.
Mitchell usually left the connecting door
open In tho winter to get the boneflt oi the
heat from'tbe range in her sleeping apart
ment. The neighbors remarked this morning that
Mr. Mltebell was late In opening her store,
but ne they knew the old lady had contracted
a severe cold a few days ago they con
cluded that she was remaining in bed
later than usual to recuperate. When
the noon hour approached and Mrs. Mitchell
failed to make her appearance, or answer any
alarm, tho neighbors becamo apprehensive
and it woe deolded to gain entrance to the
place to see if there was anything wrong.
The window in the bedroom was forced open
by a young man named John Foley, who en
tered the honse and detected a strong odor of
coal gag. Upon approaching thobed he found
Mrs. Mitchell unconscious. Dr. Stein was
thon called and when he announced that he
could not revive the patient and her case was
hopeless Bev. II. F. O'lleilly, pastor of the
Annunciation church, was summoned and ad
ministered to her the last rites of the church.
' Mrs. Mitchell is about sixty years of age.
She is the mothor of William Mitchell, in
side foreman at the Plank Itidgo colliery ;
James Mitchell, of town ; Mrs. Michael
Kelly, of Ashland ; Mrs. Ellon McFaddcn, of
Mt. Carmel ; Miss Annie Mitchell, of Phila
delphia ; and John Mitchell, of Lincoln,
Illinois.
Mrs. Mitcholl was alive at 3 o'clock this
afternoon, but unconscious.

Coal Tramo Over Short ltoute.
Tho Mahanoy Plane shut down last even
ing for the annual overhauling of. the ma
chinery whloh is necessary to keep it in
proper condition to handle the immense
volumo of traffic passing over it. The sea
son usually selected to do the work is in the
winter when tho traffic is lightest and most
easily handled by other routes. Heretofore
the trade was usually handled over the Gor
don planes and the Little Schuylkill branch
to Port Clinton, bnt despito published as
sumptions that this would bo the caso the
officials are busily engaged making all ar
rangements to handlo the business via Bear

the plane will bo completed in less than two
weeks, and no difficulty is exported iu

washing being done by brushes, shot is sub

the condemned man is now obliged to go to
the higher courts to light for his llfej
Judge Savidge closed his work at Hie oenrt

ing the condemned man brought be ft re him
tbis morning to bear t)M reqp.lt of his Honor's
deliberation on the motion made by Congress
man Bruinra for a new trial in bel alf of the
prisoner.
Promptly at ten o'clock Judge ' Savidge
took his seat on tho bench.- Eisenhower and
his counsel and tho District Attorney were
already in waiting. Under the clreijbijtanoee
it was quite natural te oxpect tlatit Eleen
bower would betray some sign afianxlety,
impatience, or nervousness, but he 'did not.
The same cool, firm demeanor which char
acterized his behavior while he wai on trial
before tho jury last spring was present with
him this morning. lie looked steadily at
the Judge and when tho latter opened his
remarks Klsenhowor leaned slightly forward
In his scat, as if to better catch what was
being Bald.
His Honor said, "I havo given careful and
oatntmfcoontidoration to tho application for a
new trial in the case of Theodore Elsen
hower, convicted of the murder of John
Schwindt, at Shenandoah, Pa., last February,
and a written opinion is filed. The motion
is denied."
Not a musolo in Elsenhower's face moved.
His gaze continued fixed upon tho Judgo for
a moment, and then he rested baok in Ills
seat. A brief whispering with his counsel
followed, after which tho latter informed
tho court that tho condemned man would
like to say a word. Eisenhower arose and
approached the bar in front of tho bench.
In a firm voice ho said, "I am innocent, and
from tho evideuce I now have I can provo it.
Any man iu this court room would do the
same thing to protect tho honor of hlmseK
and family."
The court mado no response to or com
ment upon what the prisoner had said and
counsel for Eisenhower aiuse autf mado a
motion for an arrost of judgment pending an
appeal to the Supromo Court. Tho motion
was granted and Eisenhower's fate Is now in
tho hands of the higher court. The prisoner
was escorted back to prison.
ADDITIONAL COURT NEWS.
John Mule j', of Malianoy City, Convicted
of Serious Charges.
John Maley, a young man of Mahanoy
City, was convicted before Judge Bechtel
yesterday on charges of assault and battery
with inteut to ravish, statutory rape and
f. and b.
The prosecutrix in this case is Elizabeth
Daley, a comely young girl, of Mahanoy
City, who was 10 years old on August 9,
1800. She appeared in court with her child.
She is not yet out of short frocks, wears
spring heel shoes aud her hair hangs down
her back. Tho story of the prosecutrix, in
substance, is that one day whilo she was in
h'or Bitter's house, Maloy came in through
tho window, the doors being looked. Maloy
made tho attack on her and though Bhe
struggled and screamed, he accomplished his
purpose. The defendant mado a general
denial of over having had such dealings with
Elizabeth Daley, and under severe cross-ox-aminatlou
ho persisted in his donial. Ho
worked for J. P. Canfield as a driver and
assistant salesman of tho Swift Meat Com
pany. Many other witnesses were called.
among them bolng Mr. Canfield and Mr.
ltowso, the latter being the bookkcopcr of
the compauy. They tostifled as to his good
reputation.
After an hour's deliberation the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty of statutory rape
and f. and b. with the following recommen
dation : "Wc recommend the defendant to
the moroy of the court for the reason that
in arriving at this verdict tho jury would
have been glad to get away from the charge
of statutory rape, as the defendant Is only a
boy, thoughtless of results, and certainly not
as answerable as if a man of mature years."
A new trial will be asked for and the de
fendant is under $1,500 bail.
The case against T. J. Joyce, of Mahanoy
City, was postponed until the March term of
court, owing to illness in the defendant's
family.
Judge Bechtel heard testimony several
hours yesterday iu a case brought by John
Brown, of Mahanoy City, against three of
his children for support. The children
named are Mrs. Jennie Bannan, of Delano ;
Mrs. Claude Brown, of Lost Creek, and
Joseph Brown, of Jefferson county. The
plaintiff is blind. He had plenty in earlier
days, but is poor now. An amicable settle
ment was reached whereby the children will
contribute to his support.
Stlney Bapuas was found guilty of a. aud
b., preferred by Policeman Henry Ooodmau.
He was sentenced to pay a fine of flOO aud
the coats.
Bev. Matulaitls, of Mlnenville, charged
with assault aud battery by Archie Brown,
wasrtrled before Judge Savidge. He was
found not guilty. The jury was out from
5 o'clock Thursday afternoon until 9 o'clock
yesterday morning. The charge was that
the priest had choked Brown while the latter
was assistiug in maklug arrests at a Polish
wedding. -.

Mrs. llogurt Sutlsllwl She Whs Not Inten

Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Peter Cuff, a
very favorably known young man of town,
called at the Ukbald office and stated that
he was the person who was supposed to have
insulted Mrs. C. I). Dogart on North Main
street Wednesday night. He added that,
iflille his actions wore not strictly, proper, he
wished to defend himself toUie extent that
they were in no way Intentionally directed
to Mrs. Bogart and he wished to personally
Assure her on that score. With that ititen-
by theftlon, he said, he -called at StrpertaModent
Uegart't residence on Thursday evening, but
tUo'Sflperlntendent declined te treat "With
him in the absence of some responsible wit
ness. Mr. Cuff asked that a IIkbald repre
sentative Rocoippany him to Mr. Dogart's
residence for the purpose of having an ex
planation mado of the affair. A representa
tive of the Herald cheerfully acceded to
the request and accompanied Mr. Cuff to
Superintendent Ilogart's residence on South
White street. They were courteously re
colved and escorted to the parlor, where the
young mau, in the presence of Mr. and
Mrs. Bogart and the IIkkald representative,
recited his version of the affair. His recital
was a straightforward and earnest one and It
resulted In a mutual agreement between all
parties to the conference that Mr. Cuff had
not intentionally Insulted Mrs. Bogart, and
Superintendent Bogart took occasion to com
pliment the young man on his manliness in
tho matter.

"The CuIhiu iol!cy of the MoKlnley ad
ministration will differ very little from
that which has been laid down by Presi
dent Cleveland mul his secretary of state.
Ihls stAtemont is based on remarks made
to a reporter by the limn who will be
premier of the next administration, Sen
ator John Sherman, at the Union dopot
last evening.
"The veteran statesman was on his way
Iwick to Washington from Canton, where
he had a conference with Mr. MoKln
ley and had accepted the portfolio of state
in his cabinet, nfter stating that his posi
tion hi the next oablnet had been deter
mined. Senator Sherman said, lnanswer
to a question : 'I think tho United States
goveriuiiHiit should not interfere with the I
Cuban wur, either to aid In its settlement
or do anything which would mako a
peaceful government of tho island a charge
on this oountry. I understand on high
authority that Prime Minister Canovds :
has outlined a program of governmental
reforms which will be applied both in
Spain and in Cuba. These reforms will
give the Cubans pmotioal autonomy and
will, I hope, settle the question.'
"Senator Sherman refused to discuss

olalmed ho (loos not know who will suo

"Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who
had accompanied Mr. Sherman to Can
ton, said he had urged Mr. MoKlnley to
appoint Hussell A. Alger, ot his state,
secretary of war.
Both the statesmen said a tariff bill
will be the first thing on the program
after tho speulnl session of congress has

THE rllOMISISD ItEFORMS.
Burly In February Spain Will Publish a
Koyal Decree.
MADRID, Jan. 10. At a cnhlnot meet
ing yesterday, tho qucon regent presiding,
It wns agreed to Introduce reforms in tho
Island of Cuba. A royal docroo on tho
subjoctwill bo published on tho king's
feto day. Sonor Cnnovas dol Castillo, tho
Spanish promlor, declares that nbsolutoly
no negotiations are proceeding botwoon
Spain and the United Stntos on tho sub
ject of Cubu. .He oxplulnod that ho is Ig
norant of tho sourco of tho rumors, and
only dosired to stato that they nro com
pletely unfounded. Ou tho othor hand, it
Is declared that early in February tho gov
ernment will publish a decroo providing
for Cuban roforms, allowing aB luuoh au
tonomy ns tho sovereign of Spain will
porinit.
It is evident that tho governmont
wishes to indicate that It has noted spon
taneously, even going beyond the powors
already voted by tho cortes, whloh will
have to grant a bill of Indemnity for tho
new decree. The reforms will show how
far Spam is prepared to go In decent
realization without surrendering any
rights or prerogatives of the home gov
ernment and of the oortes, In whloh
both Cuba and Porto Bloo will have duo
representation. It will also bo seen that
in the reform of the tariff Spain is disposed
to make sacrifice comparable with the
needs of the Cuban budget More can
hardly bo expected from a conservative
oablnet and Spaniards will anxiously
Watch tho effects of this ohunge of polloy
in tho now world.
Tho plan owos Its origin to Senor Cnno-

tho council of stato will approve tho re
