The imprudent conduct of this juror would nover have occurred had ho listened to the court 1' was more the result ol liquor than no iutcntion of wiong to any one. As to the address of counsel allegid to bo ground lor a new trial, the Judge said that during the argument defendant's counsel called the attention of tho court to a remark made by the Commonwealth's counsel and we promptly agreed with him and informed the jury it must be entiiely disregarded. Thi ended the matter and no further, or other nimln ation was made to the cotiit, no exc-ption taken, nothing placed on lccord, and no paper of instructions, or application todischarge the jury was made. On this statement we need only cilo Commonwealth vs Webber, 1(17 P.i.. 153 ; Commonwealth vs. Eisenhower, LSI Pa., 170, nil charges and convictions of minder iu tho lirst degree. The latter ease holds that tho embodying of alleged lemarks in tho reasons for a now trial is not sulUcieut.

As to the 12th count there were tho other commissioners and clerk, and the defendant himself. As to the counts of Ulrich, concerning tho payment of $:130 and luo, thero were seven persons present when the matter appears to bavo been acted upon.

As to the jurors, Webber and Dunkel beiger, we cannot see why we would be justi fied iu setting aside tho verdict upon thu ground suggested in the reasons. Webber, according to the testimony, was not an appli cant for Commissioner in place of tho de fendant, and under the plain lutlguugc of the constitution, ai tide 11, seition 7, could not be appointed iu Ids place if a vacancy existed.

About three hundred people wero uttiacted to tho northern end of Main street at about (1:30 o'clock Saturday night by tlio liriug of thico shots and a subsequent leport that one of the gypsies that encamped near the ceme teries on Saturday had hceu shot, lho re port proved incorrect. It was trtto that a gypsy had been shot at and missed. Hie man whu did tho llring said tlio shots were discharged into tlio air with no intention of hitting tho inaik. It appears that the band of gypsies was encamped at l'rackvillo before cumiug here and while tbcie one of the number,' Edward Harrison, alias Edward Guy, puicbascd a small bill of horso feed from William llnupt and left tho place without settling tho ac count, llaupt swore out a wurraut and Sat unlay night Detective Levi liobb and his son, George, came to town, armed with a warrant sworn out liy Haupt before Justice Conrad, iu quest of Harrison, alias Guy.

Harrison made no resist ance, but accompanied tho officer out of the place and they wcio abeut to walk down Main street tu get on one of tlio Traction cars at tho stalling place to avoid getting into tho car after a crowd would buaid it, when Harrison suddenly slipped away and dashed up Main sticet toward the road leading to the gypsy encampment. The two liobbs gave chase, the yotingur keeping iu close track of tho fugitive. Tlio elder liobb is disquali fied as a sprinter on account of his weight. Ho trailed behind and fired three shots from his rovoher enroute. The gypsy turned to the right into thu open space known as Gar field Square, just this sido of the P. & 1!. freight station, where tho younger liobb tripped up tho gypsy. As tho latter stumbled ho swung his light arm ami caught young llubb on tho corner of tho left eye, splitting thu skin und making a nasty wound of about an inch in length.

Soon after tho elder Bobb arrived and Harrison was handcuffed, liobb the senior then grabbed tho prisoner by tlio throat, but desisted upon lialticr's interference. Upon Harrison's request tho party went to Joe Wyatt's hotel and the case was sotllcd by Harrison paying tho claim and costs, aggregating $7.20 and $5 for the damaged optic young liobb carried. Harrison's band of gypsies has been coming to this town uud vicinity annually for scv oral years.

Tho Spanish Government, tluotmh Us minister ut "WnshiiiRtoii, Seiior Polo tie Uernnbo, last night delivered an Important of ficial document to the state department statliiK that an nrmlstlco which the queen refrent of Spain had commanded General lilnnco to proclaim yesterday was without conditions, that her ma jesty's government had cranted lib eral Institutions to the Island of Cuba which the coming1 Cuban parliament would develop; recalling; the condolence) and sympathy expressed by the queen reg;ent and her irnvernment on thu dls aster of the Maine and the horror this tlisnster had occasioned In Spanish hearts, nml appealing to the courtesy and sense of justice of the United States government to enlighten public opinion upon the attitude of Spain. The note also repeats the offer & the Spanish government to submit the Maine tiues- tlon to experts eleslgnateel by the marl time powers of the world. This document was tlio official notlfl cation of the Spanish government to tlio United States of tho granting of an armistice and Its essential terms. Mln Ister Woodford's dispatch Saturday night had briefly stated the fact that an armistice hud been agreed upon, but It wns not communicatee! as coining from tho Spanish government, Yester day's communication cleared up mis apprehensions on the most vital point of Spain's concession, namely, that tho armlstlco was without conditions. The note was received by the statu depart ment after the first cabinet meeting and was one of the main subjects consideration nt the second cabinet meeting held last night. Sonor Polo tie Uefnnbe delivered the document In person to the state dopart ment, and aside from the Interest In the communication Itself the call had ndd ed Interest as an evidence of a renown! of diplomatic negotiations, this being his first call at the department in ten days. Later Senor Duliosc, tlrst sec. retary of the legation, made another call nt the department on the same gonoral subject. Besides delivering the note, the call permitted a personal ox change between the secretary of state and the Spanish oiilcluls of an agree able character. The first effedt of the armistice will be to bring about a complete cessation of all Spanish hostilities throughout the Island. The Spanish troops will for the time being go Into garrison. Then- future disposition has not even been considered, for much depends upon the duration of the armistice and the course of the Insurgents. If the In Burgents continue tliolr fighting and make attacks upon the Spanish troops tlio situation will become complicated. for It Is hardly believed that the Span Ish forces will lay down their arms for any length of time It they continue to be under lire from the Insurgents. The attitude of the Insurgent advisers nt Washington is that of rejecting the armistice. Senor Quesnda, of the Junta, declared that the armistice was simply a tspamsu trick, designed to create the impression that the insurgents were unreasonable. From his standpoiu nothing short of Independence will satisfy the Cubans. It remains to be seen liow far General Gomez and th insurgents in tho field entertain this view. If they also reject the armistice Spain Is not likely to continue it, and thus tho resort to arms will continue as It has been during the last three years. Prof. L. J.
