ASE APPEALED TO KEXT COURT 1 Tho Messrs. Hull, the Local Milk Dealers, Charged With Selling i andlord seeds Impure Milk-Other Arrests Likely to Follow. The dairy and pure food commission of tho Department of Agriculture of Pennsyl vania, which began operation. In this m-ctloii several weeks ugo, yesterday succeeded lu effecting two more arrests. The first proso- tlon was tint against i illlam Amulewiez, tho East Centre street grocer, who Is charged 1th selling pepper that was Mild as pure goods and which is said to contain certain foreign matter. This case is still pending d will bo beard at the next term of court. The defendants iu the suit brought yester- day afternoon beforo Justico Shoemaker aro Franklin B. Mull and Harrison H. Mull, tho West Centre street milk dealer. Tho dioso- cutor Is Robert M. Simmers, of Pliocnixvitle, special ngeut Tor tbe Communion. The information furnishid beforo tho Justico sets forth that "F B. Mull and U. IL Mull sold to William II. Seeds, on the 12th day of July, 1S09 at his hotel, an adulterated artlclo of food, viz : a certain quantity of ilk containing added wator and boric acid. lilcli was represented to be pure milk. con. talning foreign matter, contrary to tho pro visions of tho Act of Assembly annroved Juno 25, 18D5, and also the Act of Assembly approved Juno 10, 1S07, whereby the said H. Mull and H. H, Mull aro euiltv of a misdemeanor," At the hearing both of tbo defendants pleaded not guilty and stated that no in gredients were put In tho milk nor did thcr authorize tho seller to add any. Tho milk analyzed, a sample of which was sent to S. H. UJChran, the state chemist, was purchased from Frauklln B. Rebcr. of Shoemakers- vilio. Mr. Reber was a member of tho Penn sylvania Stato Legislature in 1893, and was ono of the chief promoters In passing the law of which the defendants are now chanted with violatiou. Each of tho defendants were held in $300 bail for their appearance at the next term of court. Tho prosecutor. Robert M. Simmers, nro. duccd a cortificats of analysis from S. B. Cochran, the state chemist, showing that tbe sample of mile furnished hita on the 12th day of July, 1SDD, contained 20 per cent, of added water and boric acid. Tho borio acid found in the sainnlo is nut in milk for tho purpose of preventing it from becoming sour, and it is verv iniurious to tho health, especially when given to children as lood. Boric acid, salicylic aeid and formal dohyde are the Ingrodionts usually used for ine purpose intended, and when used in milk cauies the arrest of fermentation, and thore- lore when entering tho stomachs of children produces such diseases of the stomach as cholera Infantum. Mr. Simmers says agents are traveling through tho country offering the acid to farmers and milk dealers to preserve tne num. By actual test of theso eoods it has been found that three drops put In four ouuees or puro milk will keep it in warm weather without turning or souring.

Pottsville, Aug. IP. Tho announcement that ex-Judge Koeb would not support the Repuhllean Judicial candidate, was not so startling as some of the newspapers raako It appear. Judge Koeh made the public an nouncement in this respect on the day sf the county convention. The Miners' Journal, In making the an nouncement, stated that Judge Koch would opposo the eutlre Repuhllean county ticket This is not true 'I told tlio Journal reporter." wld Jndie Koch, this morning, "that I am opposed to nnd will fight against the oleotlon of Capt D. C. Hennlng. the judicial nominee. I am not opposed to tbe entire eonuty tie Vet, st stated. What I did say was that 'if the water is deep enough the head may pull the tall with it.' I did not make use of the word 'fraud,' but said that Judge Hennlng's nomination wm secured by brlltery." Judge Hennlng's nomination," continued Judge Koch, "does not reflect the sentiment of the Republican party of Schuylkill county. It Is not the will of the party, and bribery was tho means by which It was accomplished. As a mau, I cannot support Buch a nomina tion." In addition to that," continued Judge Koch, "J ml no Helming aud his admirers, who aro howling most for his election, all fought my nomination and election last year." Taking up tbo tituew nr the two candidates for Judge, Judge Koch said he iiisldcrcd Mr. Wadllnger by far the moro apablo man for tho bench than Capt. Hennlng. Referring to the cou test for tho nomination, Judge Koch said that those who supported Hennlng said thoy were going to nominate a Stalwart a Quaylte. Then you consider the contest to have been on tho Quay and anti-Quay linos?" asked the reporter. That s tho way they put It," answered the Judge. "You 6eo," ho continued, "I was appointed by Governor Hastings, and ho and Quay had a fall out. My case was similar to that which Superior Court Judge Dlmner Bceber, of Philadelphia, is now experiencing. Ho was appointod by Governor Hatlug, and Quay and his followers nre going to turn him down at the coming Stato Convention for Josiah R. Adams. I was Governor Hastings' choico and Honning and a number of his supporters fought nie. Henning is Governor Stone's choice and I shouldn't be expected to support him." Judge Koch openly charges that certain persons who supported Capfain Ueumng used money in purchasing tho votes of delegates. In this connection he claims that had he secured the votes of tho dolegates who came to him nnd voluntarily promised him their support he would have had more votes than Henning aud Ilreckons combined. I could havo been nominated had I used one $10 bill," went on tho speakei, "but it shall noyer be said of me that I resorted to surh practices. Politics is ono thing, nnd a man's self-respect another. I am opposed to Judge Henning, and I mean to fight him," ho con cluded. SICKENING SiailT AT EXECUTION. Two Men Ilnnirod For Murder. Ono I'rnclntmlnfr Other'H Iunocc-nco. Rockvillo, Mil.. Aug. 19, Arrnlstead i'aylor and John Alfred Brown were fwnged hero yesterday for the murder of Louis Kosenstcln and his wife. As the men plunged through the trap the rope around Taylor s neck slipped and he slowly strangled to death, writhing horribly for nt least ten minutes. Drown died quickly, his neck evidently being broken. Both men met death with grlmncss, although Taylor was ex tremely nervous and his volco quivered as he mado a statement. In which he retracted his former confessions and his testimony on the witness stand, and asserted that Brown had nothing whatever to do with the murder. Brown also protested to tho very last that he was innocent, W. E. Bolt, of Chicago, In whoso family Brown was formerly a slave,' made every effort In his power to se cure a commutation or a reprieve for the doomed man. At midnight tho night beforo he catted Governor Lowndes up on tho telephone and se cured from htm a promise that ho would Interpose In tho event that Judges Henderson, Motter and Chief Judge McSherry consented to it, Mr. Belt obtained the consent of Judges Motter and Henderson, hut Chief Judgo McSherry, who presided nt tho trial, positively declined to recommend ox ecutlve Interference on the ground that thorp wa? enough testimony against Brown to convict htm. After the ex ecution Mr. Helt sent a telegram to Governor Lowndes In which he told tho governor that he hold him nnd Chief Judge McSherry responsible for tho death of an innocent man.

From Ashland Record. There are no signs pointing to a revival of the defunct Lavelle fair although tbe season is fast approaching for sport of that character. The grounds and buildings aro stilt in good condition and tbo fence that encloses the grounds In order, but these are now only fingermarks pointing backward instead of forward. For a nitmber of years the Lavelle fair was looked forward to as one of the im portant events In this end of the county. It had received a wide reputation and crowds attended the daily oxhibitsand races. But the end camo. The whole thing collapsed. Tbe stockholders lost. Farmer Nelson Stine is now its owner and he is thinking seriously of cutting it up into building lots to start a new town to be called Ironton. He is nego tiating with the multi-millionaire Andrew Carnagle, for tbe starting of large Iron mills there and if the deal goes through Irouton will soon be a new and flourishing place on the county map.

Brndtret'8 agency sayir The trade nituittlon Bath er strength as summer wane. He ports of expanding fall demand arrive, accompanied by very cheerful advlcee as to the outlook In most parts of the country. In manufacturing llnne pro duction appears to lie at a maximum and the price situation retains most of Ha old i .rength. Notable In the matter of added strength are moet of the ceroflls and Iron and steel In many forms. The Impetus given to wheat prices by the government report last week has been further reinforced by less favorable crop advices from other countries, notably India, and export business la reported somewhat im proved. Advices as to the corn crop are still a favorable as ever, some states. notably Kansas, reporting phenome nally targe yields. Judging from numerous reports tho scarcity of supplies of Iron and steel Is becoming Increasingly serious, sup plies of structural and shipbuilding material being reported Inadequate at n number of points. Thore Is an ap pearance of quiet nt eastern markets not shared In, however, by western concerns, where sales aro reported large and price advances numerous. The question of outlook us to prices seems to be largely transferred to noxt year, and liberal bookings are reported for tho first quarter of 1900. with some southern engagements reported run ning as far ahead as autumn a year from now. It. G. Dun S: Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The Cramps have dis charged many hundred hands and asks Russia to extend time for completion of two warships because they cannot get tho steel. Completion of 21 out of 37 vessels building In the Delaware Is also affected. It' Is a curious experience for this country, but shows tho gigantic expansion of homo demand. No one can question the fact that paymants through the principal clearing houses have been In August 65.9 per cent, larger than In 1S92 for tho month thus far, nnd outside New York 23.0 por cent. No better test of the volume of business Is known, but thore Is a growing bnndlcnp In the advance of prices. How long and how far this ad vance can ro without reaction is tho problem which lovol headed business men aro studying. In Iron the question is of steel bil lets, which tho great consuming com panies have bought far In ndvance, so that all new ordors have a narrow market. For six months billets havo sold at $4 tn $6 higher than the rails made from them. Other demands, not covered by contracts, are mainly for various shapes and sizes only prescrib ed In contracts. Wheat has advanced about n cent during the week, with Atlantic ex ports only 2.363,302 bushels, flour In cluded, against 3,0.r9,380 last year, and Pacific exports 951.529 bushels against 175,400 last year. Western receipts havo been only 3,212,117 bushels against 3,- 309,229 last year. Picnic Needs Can bo obtained at Bauscr's meat market, Cherry and Chestnut streets.
