The supreme court on Thursday af firmed the judgment of the lower court of this county in refusing a new trial to the ex-banker, F. V. Rockafellow, of VVilkes-Barre, who was convicted last November of embezzlement. When the decision was handed down District At torney Garman, who was in Philadel phia, at once telegraphed ordering De tective Whalen to arrest Rockafellow, and Whalen went to the house. Mrß. Rockafellow did not know him and in reply to his request to see her husband bade him to be seated. In a few min utes Rockafellow entered the room lean on his wife's arm. As soon as he saw the detective, whom he knew, Rocka fellow was visibly agitated. Briefly Whalen explained that a new trial had been refused and that he must go to prison. This announcement broke the aged banker down completely and he sank helpless in a chair and burst into tears. His wife at first tried to soothe him, but overcome with emo tion, she too wept. They were so deep ly affected that Whalen left the room for a time, and Mrs. Rockafellow in a few minutes returned and announced that her husband was ready. He was taken to the county jail in a cab and placed in a cell. Rockafellow will be taken to the penitentiary at Philadel phia this week. On February 7, 1893, Rockafellow's bank, considered the safest institution in that city and having 847 depositors, chiefly miners, mechanics and small business men, closed its doors. T.lie lia bilities were $450,000, the assets $25,000. Rockafellow was arrested on the charge of embezzlement. The grand jury re turned a true bill with nineteen counts and in November last he was placed on trial and in three days was found guilty and was sentenced to pay $1,250 fine and i undergo two years and two months im j prisoninent. The lower court refused a new trial and was sustained by the su | preme court. Rockafellow is 72 years old.

The supreme court last week reversed the Carbon county court in the case of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany vs. Frank Earley, and a new trial is awarded. This is one of the cases in which the company sues for recovery of property because of the violation of an agreement in the deed. The company complained that the defendant had vio lated the condition contained in the agreement, which prohibited the sale of liquor on the premises. The court took the case from the jury, holding that there was no question of fact but one of law, and directed that they find a ver dict for the plaintiff. The defendant excepted and appealed to the supreme court, which has decided as above. There is nothing in Earley's deed which calls for a forfeiture of the prop erty if there should be a violation of the agreement. This clause is in deeds is sued later, but not in the one over which the suit was heard. Prominent lawyers say that the company can prevent Earley from selling liquor by having an injunc tion issued, and it is likely they will do so. Important Hospital Decision. From the Hazlctou Plain Speaker. Owing to the fact that the state hos pital has already more than used up the appropriation given to it, it was decided at the meeting of the trustees held on Wednesday evening, that for the pres ent only persons injured in and about tho mines, workshops and railroads, and laboring men who have contracted in juries in or at the coal mines embraced within the territorial limits of the fourth inspection district of the anthracite coal fields, will be admitted for treatment. The practice has been heretofore to take all persons needing treatment who suffering from injuries received in vari ous ways not provided for by the law under which the hospital was establish ed. Of course, so long as the main tenance as provided by the state was adequate, such patients would be taken, and it is with regret that tho trustees feel constrained to make this discrim ination.
