"Not Guilty, Btlt Pay the Costs," Was
trie Verdict.
THE FAMOUS MEl CASE ENDED
A Sealed Vcrdlcl Was nanded to Jtidco
Savidge This Mornlns-The Jury Con
tinued Itsbeliberations Until
After Six O'clock This
Morning.
Special to UvKNiNd JIp.nALn.
PoTTsviLLE. Stjnt. 24. Tho Jury In tho
case of P. J. Fcrguson, School Director of
West Mahanoy township, against J. Jerome
O'Neill, of Lost Creek, for libel, this morn
ing handed in 6 sealed verdict of "Not
guilty, but pay tho costs."
The jury was out from D13 o'clock yostor-
day morning untihOiSO o'clock this morning.
Judgo Sividge remained horo until lato yes
terday afternoon S'nd when ho found tho
jury had not reached a vordlct ho left direc
tions that the vordjet bo handed in sealed
and want homo. Ho returned hero at ten
o'clock this morning and received tho ver
dict.
From present indications it appears that
both the Commonwealth and defenso aro
satisfied with the verdict. Mr. O'Neill and
his friends claim to havo learned that when
tho jury started in upou its deliberations it
stood seven for acquittal and costs upou tho
prosecution, and that tho long deliberation
hinged upou tho placing of tho costs, culmin
ating iu a compromise vordlct.
The prosecution, 6n tho other hand, claim
that the verdict practically moans "not
guilty, hut don't do It again," and Is there
fore a vindication.
To the disinterested parties tho verdict
does not appear satisfactory, in view of tho
charges that were mado by tho defenso dur
ing tho progress of the cose. It seems to bo
tho general opinion that, owing to tho gravo
character of tho case, O'Neill should either
havo been found guilty and saddled with the
costs, or completely exonerated.
Ono thing is certain, and that Is intorost in
the misdemeanor cases against certain mem
bors of the West Mahanoy township
School Directors will bo Increased by
tho verdict. Had the verdict boon
unqualifiedly against O'NoiU there is
little doubt that tile misdemeanor case would
never come up for trial. As tho matter
stands now a trial appears to bo a certainty.
The misdemoanor case, which is brought by
Thomas Dee against certain dlrcptors of tho
Mahanoy Township School Board, and tho
perjury caso against Doe. brought by tho
directors ho has prosecuted, havo been post
poned to tho November term of criminal
court. It is understood that tho misde
meanor caso will ho tried first, although it is
probable that an agreement will bo reached
by which the result of both cases will bo
allowed to rest upon ono trial.
At a lato hour thisTifternoon it was stated
that Mr. O.'Neill's counsel will havo a sur
prise to spring in court to-morrow morning
In connection with the verdict. The nature
of tho surpriso could not bo doflnitoly
learned, but it is oxpectod that a sonsatiou
will be created.

SUED BY A LODGE.
Idtmllord Sought to ho Held For Vnluo of
Fixtures,
A civil suit of Interest to many people of
town was tried before Justico Shoemaker last
night with tho trustees of Shenandoah Lodge
No. 591, I. O. O. F., as plaintlfls nnd John A.
Itoilly as defendant. J. II. Pomeroy, Esq,,
appeared for tho trustees and M. M. Ilnrko,
Esq., represented the dofendant. About three
hours was consumed In tho trial of tlio owe.
Messrs. Thomas Bellls, T. T. Williams, Harry
Eoeso nnd William Itennlo wore witnesses for
tho plaintiffs. Tho defenso put no wltnossos
on the stand, depending upon argument.
It appears that when Mr. Roillv built l.i
building on South Main street after the gront
lire or 1883, tho trustees of tho lodge mado
an agreomont with him by which thov
leased tho ontlre third floor of tho structure
for lodge nnd ante-rooms. It is stated that
Mr. Heiliy was not prepared to nut tho nlaeo
in tho condition the lodco reuuired. so tlio
.latter advanced him flvo years' rental to
finish that part of tho building. An agree
ment was then ontered into by tho trustees
nud Mr. uellly, by which tho lodge was to
put in fixtures, partitions, platforms, fur
niture, etc, and that when tho lodgo should
decide to vacate tho premises fifteen days
notice would bo given to appoint an ap
praiser to meet nn oppraisor appointed by tho
lodgo, and tho two thus appointed were to
select a third. The three appraisers wero
men to tlx a valuo on tho furnishings and
fixtures of tho room nnd tlio amount they
decided upon was to be paid by Mr. Eoilly to
the lodge, ho retaining tho fixtures and fur
nishings of tho room as his own property
auer tuo appraisment aud payment.
Tlio trustees contended last night that as
1110 lougo erected a building of its own last
fall It had no further use for tho lodgo room
and last December fifteen days written notice
was given to Mr. Kellly to appoint nn ap
praiser ; that Mr. Eoilly stated ho had se
lected tho lato Mr. E. F. Gallagher. Tho
trustcos called upon tho gentleman, but ho
said ho had not been selected and would not
act. Mr. Eoilly was again called upon and
ho said Mr. M. J. O'Neill had been choseu
by him, but Mr O'Neill disclaimed the se
lection when called upon by tho trusteos.
ilr. Eeilly was called upon n third tinio and
ho said Joseph Boll would ho his appraiser.
Meanwhile tho first of Jauuarv. 1807. tlm
date on which tho loaso expired, was draw
ing dear at hand nnd, to avoid tho risk of
being held responsible for another yoar's
rent, tho lodge removed tho furniture 011
Deccmbor 31st, 1890. Thomas Bellis, ap
praiser for tho lodgo, Joseph Bell, for Mr.
Eeilly, and Josiah W. Johnson, selected by
the two appraisers, subsequently met and ap
praised tho platforms, partitions, cas fixtures.
etc., loft in tho rooms at $175. The
lodge sued to recover tho amount. Mr.
Eeilly repudiates tho appraisement, alleging
that tho lodgo had violated its agreement in
many respects, notably in removing tho
furniture before tho appraisement was made.
Ho also claimed that tho value placed on
what was left in tho rooms was too high and
that ho had not received proper notice of tho
appraisement. Tho lodgo did not retain a
copy of tho notico it sorvod, but Messrs.
Thomas Bellls and Harry Eceso sworo that
proper notico in writing was served on Mr.
Kollly. Justico Shoemaker reserved his
decision until Tuesday evening, next.
