On cross examination Dr. Talcott -said ho thought the prisoner insane, but he might lie mistaken in his judgment. In his opinion the prisoner had never been of sound mind since she left the Middletown asylum In February, 18B2.

BlancU, Who Wai Freient In yesterday's NEWS we gave one side of the controversary existing in the Independent District school board, which was to the effect that Mr.

Kramer bad received three out of the tU'o votes of tbe members present at tha meeting when the election was held, and that therefore, having bad a majority of all the votes cast he is legally elected secretary of the board. But there aie always two sides to a question. Ooe of the members appeared at our office last evening and stated that the proceedings of that muuliug of the school board were not given in full by us, aud that tbe question in this controversy is not whether four votes are required to elect a hinges npon an altogether different matter. Ho says that after tho nominations I'or secretary had been made several votes were taken after which Mr. Kramer withdrew his name, and Mr.

was elected l.y acclatni- tion without a dissei.ung vote. He acted as secretary the remainder of tbe meeting, all tbe members taking part in tbe subsequent proaeedtngs, and Mr. Kramer did not claim have been elected until six days afterward. Now. as we are informed, Mr.

Kramer claims to be tbe regularly constituted secretary, although be bad withdrawn name at the election. We give tbe facts on both sides just as they have been given to us and have no interest in either side. No doubt tbe gentlemen will come to an understanding at tbe next meeting and will settle tbe question of who is tbe secretary T'ithout any further controvery. STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT GOV.

Several Regiments Ordered to Jefferson County to Quell a Mob at Punxsutawney. HAKIUSBURU, June Huns and Italians at Puaxsutawney have been in a state of lawlessness since yesterday on account of the English speaking minors who have arrived to go to work. Last night the sheriff of Pn nxsntaw- ney, Jefferson connty, wired Governor Pattison that be was unable to quell tbe rioters and that the situation was growing worse. Later in the nigbt word came that the (rouble bad subsided, but this morning it broke out afresh and with a more bitter leeling than ever. The sheriff telegraphed tbe Governor for aid, and this forenoon the Fifth and Sixteenth regi ments and the Sheridan Troops were ordered to Jefferson county.

She lives with her aunt, Miss Colemao, in tbe imnojiing brownstunc mansion tbat stands on Lafayette square between the Arlington Hotel aud St. John's Church, and some time will no end of coal mines up the Lehigh Valley. Her aunt, Miss Coleman, is also worth several millions am she will doubtless get the largest share of that.

The Colemans have always been rich aud influential in Pennsylvania. They own the largest part of-the Lebigh Val ley and their residence at Lsba uon, is one of the finest country places in the United States. Tbe mother of Miss Freeman was the ladj who jilted James Buchanan and causec him to remain a bachelor for tbe rest his days. Miss Coleman, her annt, rejected General Bnrnside when he cami here at the beginning of the war, anc has bad many other favorable offers, anc nobody ever expected tbat her niece would do otherwise than follow her example. The above is taken from the Washington correspondence of tbe Chicago "Record," and the first paragraph only is correct as to facts.

It is not coal but ore mines in which the Coleman family has an interest and in the Lebanon stead of the Lehigh Valley, while the mansion is located at Cornwall and nol at Lebanon. It was the lady's aunt, Miss Sarah Coleman, who jilted James Buchanan, acd she always remained single. Tbe only item of news to our readers is the engagement ot Miss Freeman to Mr. Buckingham, which is said to be a fact, and we give tbe other items tc show how news often are garbled and distorted.
