Pittston'* Wife Murderer Before a Jury in Wilkesbarre Tliln Week. In tho criminal court on Tuesday Lawyer John T. Lenahan created a sen sation by making a motion to squash the indictment against George Wimlish, of Pittston. charged witli the murder of his wife. Tho points raised by Lenahan were that the clerk of the courts had issued a venire for tho drawing of a grand jury for September sessions, 1895, without an order from the judges, which was necessary. Further, that the ven ire is drawn under name of Charles E. Rice, as president judge of tho court of Luzerne county, and dated July 18, 1895, while as a matter of fact, Judge Rico re signed as a member of the court before that time to accept a place 011 the su perior court bench. Judge Woodward denied tho motion 011 the ground that tho absence of a special precept or order for tiie drawing of a grand jury is not of material im portance, and the motion to quash the indictment was not promptly made, one term having elapsed since the finding of the true bill by tho grand jury. Windish pleaded not guilty and tho ease was thon proceeded with. The jury contains the following from the lower end: Michael Carr, Foster, and G. G. Pritchard, W. J. Smauch and John F. James, liazleton. Proof of tho Love. "Are you sure you love lilin?" "Am I sure? Do you see this dress?" "Of course I do. What of it?"

There is any amount of trouble brew ing over Mayor Nichols' "dead line" in Wilkesbarre, and the courts will be kept busy fur some time to come to decide whether his honor or the property own ers aro right. The "dead line,'* as it is called, is a line marked with white paint, two inches wide, extending around the sidewalks on the Public Square. It was drawn by the mayor's orders and is supposed to ma,rk the side walk boundary of private and public property.- The line in a great many places passes through steps into stores, cellar doors, permanent stands erected by merchants and in one place through the corner of a building. The mayor says that all space out side the line must be left clear for public use, while the merchants whose prop erty protrudes beyond the line claim it has a right to do so. Several have re fused to move stands, steps, or cellar doors, and were arrested inconsequence. They appealed the cases and are now organizing to take the matter to court. They are determined not to give in until they have to, and the mayor says he is in the right and, having the power, is going to force the transgressors to res pect the ordinance against blockading sidewalks. Sunday Fracas at Pittston. A family fracas 011 Sunday night betwoeu Martin Surma, a Pittston In lander, and Mrs. Yeagcr has placed the former in jail, and the latter beyond hope of recovery. Surma, it appears, was intoxicated, and began to abuse his step daughter. The argument finally re sulted in Surma striking the woman. Powerful as was the blow Mrs. Yeager retaliated by hitting her assailant with stove lifters, flat irons and every thing within easy reach until he ran out from the house. Smarting under the punishment lie re ceived, Surma picked up an ax that lie found lying outside and re-entered the house. Mrs. Yeager, seeing him ap proach, attempted to escape, but before she could do so 110 dealt her 11 blow on the neck that knocked her down. Surma fled, but was later captured and confined in the county jail to await the result of her injouries. Luck May Still Re With Him. From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer. Wouldn't it bo rare good fortune if Judge Smith's good luck follow him, and ho should draw the fortunate number that will make him president judge of the superior court. Thu act provides, that the judges, when elected, shall meet and by lot decide who is to be the president judge. If Judge Smith, as the only Democratic member of the court, would be tho fortunate man on whom the choice fell, it would be an ad dition satisfaction both to himself and his friends. It is, of course, a little im probable that so rare a bit of good for tune should follow liis election, but the French say the unexpected always hap pens, and it may in this case Want the Law Enforced. A meeting of the minors from the mining territory of Pottsvillo, St Clair and Port Carbon was held at Pottsville 011 Tuesday. Various measures for ben efitting the miners in the region were i considered. The principal subject under discussion was the enforcement of tho semi-monthly pay law. A petition embodying this matter was signed by a large number of miners and a committee was appointed to present the petition to the officials of Chamberlain colliery, at St. Clair, and request an answer by- November 20. A branch of tho United Mine Workers of America is to be organ ized among the employers of that col liery. Tried to Kill Her Son. Mrs. W. Ellis, a prominent resident of Georgetown, near Wilkerbarre, became suddenly insane 011 Monday morning while at breakfast and seizing a knife attemped to stab her oldest son, but for tunately was restrained by her husband. For several months the woman's actions havo been so strange as to attarct tho attention of neighbors. After her attempt on the life of her son, it required the efforts of several men to keep her down. Her paroxysm of frenzy continu ing, a rope was secured and tho woman's hands and feet were bound. She was sent to jail to await the action of a com mittee 011 lunacy. SIOO Howard, SIOO.

During quite a good half hour I felt, noti ing in any way abnormal, but when the meal was drawing to its close a subtle warmth, which came, as it were, in gusts to my head and chest, seemed ! to permeate my body with a singular emotion, says C'ornhill Magazine. Later on the conversation around me reached my understanding, charged with droll significance. The noise of a fork tapped against a glass struck my car as a most harmonious vibration. The faces of my companions were transformed. The particular animal type, which, according to Lavater, is the basis of every human countenance, appeared to me strikingly clear. My right-hand neighbor became an eagle, he 011 my left grew into an owl, with full projecting eyes; immediately in .front of me the man was a lion, while the doctor himself was metamorphosed into a fox. But the most extraordinary circum stance was that I read, or seemed to read, their thoughts and penetrate the depth of their intelligence as easily as one deciphers a page printed in large type. Like an experienced phrenol ogist I could indicate accurately the force and quality of their endowments and the nature of their sentiments; in this analysis I discovered affinities and contrasts which would have escaped one in a normal state. Objects around me seemed little by I little to clothe themselves in fantastic garb, the arabesques 011 the walls re vealed themselves to me in rich rhymes of attractive poesy, sometimes mel ancholy, but more generally rising to an exaggerated lyrism or to transcend ent buffoonery. The porcelain vases, the bottles, the glasses sparkling 011 the table all took the most ludicrous forms. At the same time I felt creep ing all around the region of my heart a tickling pressure, to squeeze out, as it were, with gentle force, a laugh which burst forth with noisy violence. My neighbors, too,'seemed subjected to an identical influence, for I saw their faces unfold like peonies—victims of boisterous hilarity, holding their sides and rolling about from right to left, their countenances swollen like Titans. My voice seemed to have gained consid erable strength, for w hen I spoke it was ns if it were a discharge of cannon, and long after I had uttered a sentence I heard in my brain the reverberation, as it were, of distant thunder.
