The remarK ol .mrpr-mias iviingcr i
with Charles Meyers" was not enough
to wirant- tho granting of a new trial,
jcihrger was intoxicated when bo said it in
Wadlinger's hotel. A few cases were cited in
support of this position. If tho entertain
ment ot an opinion on the part ol a juror in
validated a trial no verdict could bo reached
in any case. 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.
After the case had been on trial for nearly,
or unite two weeks, and all oviilenco on both
sides bad been lirescnted. oxcenting the evi
dence of Mr. Ulrich, an application was
iimilu lor continuance or tho witnurawai
from the -iurv of certain counts. 1 he wit
ness bicame ill during thu trial and ho was
called as a witness concerning counts 7, 8, II
and 12 only. .i'o icfu.sed the application, it
being scriuusly objected to, and placed our
reasons on record, lho counts mentioned
concern the payment of money to him and
the payment of mutiey to Severn. 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. Of this number live wore subject to
tho defendant's call without Mr. Ulrich, us
wero tiie recutds of tho Commissioners' and
Controllers' ollico. Ilcnco the defendant had
jiinplo opportunity to supply his testimony.
surely no one couiii Know nciicr man mo
defendant whether, or not, tho payment was
honest, or otherwise. .Nouo could better ex
plain why the money was taken from tlio
treasury. Ily his side sat the County Solici
tor, lie vigorously protested against tho
payment to Ulrich and, after having tho
protest luted, actually left the room. John
I. Marliu was in reach of defendant's pro
cess, but was not called.
Under (hose cireuiustnuccB, and with IU
other counts in tho indictment, concerning
which ho was not to testify, with Uvo other
witnesses, including the County Commis
sioners and County Solicitor, und the de
fendant, neither of which was called, itscems
nut only just, but necessary that tho applica
tion should bo refused.
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.
Tlio tact t.hat Duuklelierger belonged to a
local taxpayers' association and contributed
to a fund, some of which was used to prose
cute Neri Dietrich, and not this defendant,
would uot disqualify him. lie says lie did
nut contribute, to any association to which
the nrosecutor. v. E. bhaeler, belongs, or
contrlbulu anything to anyone to prosecute
this case. Wo could not nave sustained a
challenge fur cause in either of those cases

were sworn. A number of uuthoiitius are

Tho criticism that the court's answer to
the point relating to the keeping of proper
uitnutea will be best answered by pointing
out tho fact that the jury did not convict on
GYPSY GUY IN TROUBLE.
Uneo Shots I'li eil ut Him liy mi Ollleer o
.Main Street.
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. The
latter was taken ihto custody at Daniel
Xeiswender's saloon at tho corner of Main
and Coal streets. 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. As tho gypsy fell liobb
threw himself upon hlui and cried for heir
which was promptly given liy ex-Policeman
Christ. Halt7.er. 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. After liobb released him Harri
son was held for about half all hour by
Policemen Murphy and Mullaby, who
thought he was a mau wauled iu Virginia
but they became, satisfied that bo was uot the
man ami released him.

Washington, April 11. 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.
