COUNSEL MAKE THEIR ADDRESSES Mr. Wadllnger Opens For the Accused Directors and Was Followed by Mr. Wbalen For the Prosecution. Jury Deliberating. Special to ltVRNljm llmui.n. Poltsvllle. Nov. VI. No little Burnrise was occasioned by the sudden resting of the de fense In tho West Mahanoy Township case yesterday afternoon. John F. Wbalen, Esq.: counsel for the Commonwealth, was wholly unprepared for it. The "we rest" from Mr. Wndllugcr and "Any rebuttal?" from Judge liecbtel seemed U fait like two claps of thunder upon the ears of the bril liant lawyer who has made out of the ease nil that any lawyer could with the material at hand. When Mr. Whaleu said be was obliged to ask time until this morning to put iu re buttal ovldeuco, becauso nono of tho wit nesses to be used wero present, Judge liecbtel did not fall to hido his impatience. Ills Honor declared that tbe case had interfered enough with tho civil court aud be did pro pose to have it run into next week. sir. Marr throw In a few words on tho same strain, saying "Wo cut our defense short for tho very purposo of closing tho case .this week, and getting rid of it." Mr. Wbalen felt piqued by this remarked and retorted, "You bad other reasons for cutting yon case short, and 1 know it." Mr. Wbalen then stated to the court that he re gretted the situation as much as the court, but it could not have been anticipated. He felt sure that in an hour or so he could get In all the rebuttal. "What do you want to prove?" asked the court. "Wo propose to contradict these defendants on material points," replied Mr. Wbalen. On what points?" interposed Mr. Wad- linger. 'On the question of money given to them, and also on the subject of character." Mr. Whaicn answered. Judgo Bochtoh Wo willmcot heropromptly at niuo o'clock to-morrow morning, ready or not ready with witnesses, and go ou until this case is ended. I will not run this court into next week, if wo have to' bold a night session to cud it. I am determined that thi; case shall not break up the civil list noxt week. Now, bow much time do you want forsummlug up? Will an hour each do? Mr. Wadllnger (sharply) No I Judgo Bochtcl : Then an hour and a half? Mr. Marr: O, two hours, your Honor, ploaso? Judgo Bechtel (warmly) : Cicntleincu, you aro punishing somo of tho jurors in tliiscase. I have been appealed to by jurors in this caso. You can go on punlsiuug tnem an you liko. I am not being punished. It was finally agreed that ouch side take an hour and a half. Then Mr. Marr asked tho couit to direct that tho Commouwealth flrstaddross the jury and outliuo what tho defense must answer In tho summing up. This is the practice in Philadelphia, be said. Judgo Bochtel said bo wuuld havo no ob jections to that course, but if the counsel for tho Commonwealth objected bo would make no direction, but allow tho practice of tbe Schuylkill county courts to prevail, Mr. Wbalen objected. Before leaving tbe witness stand yesterday Director McLaln said, In answer to Mr. Marr, that ho heard that the School Directors of airardvillo got paid for attending the annual meeting ot me uirectors' association anu Major R. C. Wagner was a member of tho Board. Ho also understood it was tbo cus tom of tho Ashland and Qlrardville Boards. Mr. Wbalen : Did you make inquiries as to what districts paid directors for attending county Institute? I may havo.

I oan't remember tbe date, but I think it was tbo tinio the libel suit was on trial. It was not within a week, or month past. 1'. J.

Tbe lest of theoxamiua lion and the replies were substantially the same as when tbe preceding witness was ou tbe stand. dr. s.

LAWYER HOWE (MS FOOLED I Thorn's rrotecution Rest Without line Mrs. Nack. Cal- BUT SHE MAY TESTIFY LATER! Tbe Prlserjer's Ccunsel Declares He "More Than Positive" That the Jury Will Aeqult His Client When All the Evidence Is Presented. New York, Nov. 27. Lawyers Itowe and Moss, wrvo have dillg-ently defended Martin Thorn, met yesterday with a serious and unlooked for obstacle when, after a brief adjournment. District At torney Youngs informed the court that the people rested their case. It was generally expected that Mrs. Nack would be put on the stand to re iterate her confession, and the lawyers who had been assigned to look after Thorn's Interests thought she would repeat her statement of two weeks ago. This seems a clever move on the part of the prosecution," said Mr. Howe, "but I am more than positive that when we Introduce our evidence the Jury will acquit my client of the crime with whiclfTie is charged." l-ater in the afternoon District At torney Youngs said he was not pre pared to say whether Mrs. Nack, who had made such a famous scene in the first trial by her confession, woiltd be produced or not. The case, as tar as the district attorney's opinion went, was fully proved without the woman's testimony. Later on, however, one of Mr. Youngs' advisers said that In case the defense put Martin Thorn on the stand the prosecution would certainly produce Mrs. Nack In rebuttal. The evidence adduced yesterday by the prosecution showed a possible In clination on the defendant's part to get rid of his enemy, Guldensunne. Bach was the admirer of Mrs. Nack, and it was proved that they had a Berlous row last March. From current report Gttldensuppe had evidently very much the better of the argument when It came to fisticuffs. Thorn confessed later that he had discharged a re volver accidentally, but a few minutes afterward told another friend of his that he had shot at Guldsnsuppe, hut missed hie mark. All these things were brought before the Jury, and when It was about time to renew the sensational story of Mrs. Nack the prosecution, after a whispered conversation, inform ed the court that the people had rested their case. Thorn WSJ less surprised - than his lawyers when this statement -was made by Mr. Youngs. Thorn took in the sit uation at a glfince, and bent forward In earnest conversation with his law yers. Mr. Howe, for the second time dur ing the trial of his client, apepaled to the court for time. "I shall, with your honor's permission," said he. "try to get through with my defense on Mon. day, but if it should exceed that time I am sure I can get, in all my evidence In a couple of hours on Tuesday." Justice Maddox, after a conference with both lawyers, decided to postpone further consideration of the case until Monday. This is not a special oue week price.

North lrimticl South "Without a Silicic DuoIkIvo Vlotory." St. Louis, Nov. 27. General Vincent Marmaduke, of Sweet Springs, Mo., who was recently appointed by the ex-Confederate veterans of Missouri as chair man of a committee to write an au thentic history of the part Missouri and MIssourians took in the civil war, yesterday Issued a remarkable address. It was addressed to the ex-Confederate veterans of Missouri, and said In part: 'The honor and glory of this great struggle was with the south, and southern soldiers ought, In Justice to themselves and the dead comrades, preserve the memory o It. While the porth am! northern soldiers are in veighing against all manifestation ot sectional feeling, they are erecting monuments to their successful leaders and telling the story very much to their credit and to our detriment. The north had more than four soldiers to one in the south. Its armies were reinforced and assisted by 800- ships of war, man ned by 36,000 sailors. It had unlimited credit, factories to manufacture every thing needed, railroads running In every direction and. Intercourse with the whole world, lint notwithstanding all Its advantages It took the north four years to crush the south, and then it did It by a grinding process, and with out having gained a decisive victory.
