Officers Elected and Addresses Made, "With Reports from the Graduates' Association Annual Reunion. Girard's birthday is the red letter day of the year to the alumni and students of the college which perpetuates the memory of the great philanthropist, and yesterday the buildings wore a holiday appearance. The one hundred and forty-first anniversary of Stephen Girard's birth was celebrated fittingly and brought hundreds of graduates to the cluster ot buildings to attest their honor for the man whose foresight had done so much for them. Long before noon the grounds were dotted with groups of men representing all walks in life. When the meeting of the alumni was called to order in the chapel it was tiled with those who were proud of the honor ot having graduated from Girard College.

Professor Fetterolf made a brief address. The treasurer's report showed that the re-ceims were Sl'JO and the expenses $170, and that subscriotions amounting to 2,700 had been received for a building lor the use ot the alumni. The election for officers resulted as lollows President, Frank O. Zessinger; vice president, L. Farrell secretarv, Herman C.

Horn treasurer, John Nolen, and John Strong, Russell Hawkins and William H. Zeller, Executive Committee. After the meeting the annual dinner was eiven in the dining room, among the more noticable ot those present being many of the judges of the Supreme and local courts and the Court of Columbia countv.

Governor Pattison sent his regrets on account of pressure of official business. Talcott Williams, who had been chosen by the Board of Directors to make the after-dinner address, spoke feelingly of the anni versary being celebrated. "Standing in the beneficent shadow ot his great gift," he said, "his praise may well give pause to the ttitude of suspicion and doubt in which we have all come to stand towards great lor- unes." The speaker then contrasted the fortunes ot Girard's day with those of the present, attributing the marvelous increase to the wealth-producing capacity ot the new country. "Comparing the numDer or nin- lonaires in this country, be said, witn those elsewhere, we are apt to forget that this nation is not only one-filth richer than Great Britain, one-half richer than France, and enjoys twice the wealth of Italy or Germany, but has accumulated all this wealth within this century. Great and numerous fortunes are inevitable under these conditions.

"No observer of American life can fail to be struck with the treat increase of both salaried positions and salaries in this country. In the profession with which I am most familiar, and one not over-paid, the number of positions has more than doubled in twenty years, and salaries have advanced in equal proportions." A tribute to Girard closed the address and the assemblage adjourned to the chapel, where the anniversary exercises took place. fhe programme included music by the irard College Band, songs by sections ind and an organ recital by Professor rtiomas a'Becket The address ot Lawrence Parrell. one of the most popular of the ilumni, was then given, and the drill, dress araUe and review ot the cadets, with Colonel Joseph li.

Y0UXG MAN'S STRANGE STORY Lcoving Missives Sent by Miss Quick to Another Young Man After She TTad Pledeed Herself to Emile Wood. The attorneys of young Emile Wood, who is seeking to have his marriage to Miss Iva Quick, annulled, played their trump card yesterday, when, at the hearing before the master, O. B.

Dickerson. they produced witnesses to prove that Miss Quick has been making love to another since she signed the contract that she alleges wedded her to Wood. For nearlv five hours testimony wa taken, during which time Emile Wood, his younger brother, Wilmer, Miss Quick and Miss Corson, the sister of Miss Quick's sec ond lover, were examined and cross-examined. Miss Corson identified letters which Miss Ouick had sent to her brother and which are now in the hands of Wood's attorneys. In these Miss Quick addresses "Dick" Corson in terms ot the greatest endearment and speaks of private meeting" in the green fields.

Miss Quick maintained, while on the witness stand, that Corson's attentions were forced unon her. and that she only made love to him to make Wood jealous. Richard Corson is now an inmate ot the Norristown Hospital for the Insane, where he was sent a tew months ago. MISS quick's attentions. Emile Wood was the first witness examined, being questioned by Mr.

Monaghan. When von were at Miss Quick bouse. what care did she have over yon he asked. She looked after my clothes and she sometimes bathed me." You are positive that she bathed you Yes, sir, I am. Here the lawyers for Miss Quick endeav ored to confuse Wood, Dut he stoutly main tained that Miss Quick had bathed him at fierent times.

He reviewed his previous testimonv about the marriage and admitted had introduced Miss Quick as his wife at diflerent times after he had signed the con tract Miss Corson was then called by Lawyer Johnson and asked to identify a packet ol letters which Miss Quick had recently written to her brother UtcK. one testi fied that the letters were eenuine. Wilmer Wood, who was a student with Emile at Miss Ooick's father's, was the nex witness. He testified to the ereat influence Miss Ouick had over his brother, and said that he would do almost anything she wanted him to do. Did vou ever see Miss Quick bathe your brother asked connsel.

Yes. sir several times. He further testified that his brother made no announcement of his marriage to Miss Quick. NOVEL CEREMONY. Miss Ivy Quick was then called, at the re quest of Lawyer Johnson, and repeated the story of her wedding.

She said that In tbe ceremony her brother-in-law, Groff, who of ficiated, asked each if they would have the other, to which they both replied in the af firmative. "Wood then," she said. 'slipped the ring on my finger. He tum bled in doing this and I helped him to put it on. We then signed the contract This was all there was to the ceremony." Now, Miss Quick, I would like to ask you a tew questions aDoni your relations with Richard Corson, said jur.

jonnsoo. "Did you make love to him?" "He became attentive to me and I allowed him to accompany me home from church." Did you ever kiss "He kissed me once when we were out in the fields together." "Only once?" "Yes, sir only once." "You say he kissed yon. Did yon ever kiss him?" "No, sir he kissed me, as I have said." "Well, Miss Quick, I have here some letters written by you to Mr. Corson. I will read a few." Mr.

Johnson then read extracts from diflerent letters, in which she spoke of "the kisses she longed to shower on him, and "the lonely hours she spent when he was absent To this Miss Quick made no reply. She was asked if she would produce the letters received by her from Mr. Corson. These she had destroyed, she said. This concluded tbe hearing, the master announcing that no further testimony would be taken until next falL NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.

CASSLER UNDER ARREST. The Earnest Worker Who Said He Lost 4,000. F. G. Cassler, ot 2065 Ridge avenue, who was lormeny secretarv and treasurer or one of the local branches of the Earnest Work ers, and who claimed to have lost 4,900 some time ago, was yesterday held in 51,000 bail for a further hearing, charged with embezzlement When was ap pointed assignee of tbe defuct organization he learned of the amount which Cassler failed to turn in, and at once took steps to compel the tx-treasurer to account for the money.

Key, of Ashland, Schuylkill connty, yesterday pleaded guilty before Judge Butler, in the United States District Court, of selling oleomargarine without payment of tbe special tax, and not properly stamping the article, and was fined (150 and costs. Robert J. Doud, ot this city, who pleaded guilty to a similar offense, was ned 100 ana cost to BE HANGED Saloonkeeper Beucher to Suffer the Murder of Crowley.

RECOMMENDATION TO MERCY Judge Biddle, in Refusing to Gran-, a New Trial, Declares It to Be t. Question Whether the Sentence Should Not Be Commuted. Saloonkeeper Joseph Beucher, wan yesterday sentenced by Judge Biddle to tx: banged for the murder of Dennis Crowley, the motion for a new trial for the convicted man being refused. The scene in the court room when the sentence was pronounced was unmarked by any unusual features. Few spectators were present.

After the judge had read a lengthy opinion embodying the grounds jipon wiiich lie based bis refusal of a new trial, District Attorney Graham said that in accordance with the duty devolving upon him he would ask that judementbe pronounced upon the verdict Beucher, who sat composedly in the dock, was asked by Clerk Henszey whether he had anything to say as to why the sentence of death should not be imposed upon him according to law. "Nothing," replied the prisoner. Judges Biddle thereupon passed sentence in the regular lorm, and Beucher listened to the fatal words with the usual stolidity and firmness which characterized his conduct throughout the trial. HE MAY NOT HANG. Although Judge Biddle was constrained by the law to refuse a new trial and to pass sentence of death, it is a significant fact that in his opinion waj embodied a paragraph which is a virtual recommendation ot mercy to a higher authority, and which seems to indicate his belief in the extenuating circumstances ot Bencher's case which have been so widely discussed since the finding of the verdict.

The judge says "Whether the prisoner should be subjected to tie extreme penalty of the law was not a question for the jury and they very properly left that to the tribunal to which it belongs. The prisoner bad suffered a grievous injury and it is a question for the pardoning power to determine whether, under the circumstances ot the case, his sentence should not be commuted. It can be reduced to an imprisonment lor any term of years which the Governor and Board of Pardons may decide to be sufficient, or they can pardon absolutely. In this way the integrity of the law is preserved and mercy is not attained by the finding of a jury in the lace ot the law and the evidence." IT WAS A FAIR TRIAL. In the course of his opinion Jude Biddle says: "There are five reasons which have been filed lor a new trial in this case, to wit 1.

The verdict is against the law. 2. The verdict is against the evidence. 3. The verdict is against tbe weight ot the evidence.

4. One of the iurors had, before any of the evidence had been heard, formed and expressed an opinion that the prisoner was guilty and threatened, if he got on the jury, he would convict bim. This was not known to the prisoner or either of his counsel until after the verdict was rendered. 5. The jury was illegally impaneled.

This was not known to the prisoner or either of his counsel until alter the verdict was rendered. "In support of the first three reasons the learned counsel have ofiered no argument From their character and standing in the profession we may therefore infer that nothing can be said. The verdict was in strict accordance with the law and the evidence. The fact ot the killing was admitted, and the sole defense was that at the time of the killing the prisoner was insane. This question was submitted to the jury on the evi dence, and no ruling or instruction on the law of the case was excepted to.

The trial therefore, was a perfectly fair one." JTJBOES NOT DISQUALIFIED. Under the fourth reason the judge savs that even supposing Samuel Korndofler did use the expression, "If I was on the jury I'd convict him," would not necessarily dis qualify him as a juror. To return nowadays to the old practice of debarring a man from jury service who had formed an opinion, he declared, would in many instances exclude every man of average intelligence. The fifth reason was based on the fact that the Sheriffs officer summoned Samuel Korndofler, or 617 Mover street, instead of Samuel Korndofler, of 722 Thompson street, according to the venire. Judge Biddle savs that after the names of jurors are taken from the wheel, a list of those whom the Sheriff has returned is published a week before the trial, and it is in the power of the prisoner and his counsel to make any in vestigation as to its correctness.

He quoted from various recorded opinions to show that the court could not set aside the verdict of a jury in a criminal case on the ground ot the alienage of a juror when the trial had been allowed to proceed without anv objection, even when the juror disqualification was not known before the trial. "Having no reason, therefore, to be dis satisfied with the verdict," concludes Judge Biddle, "the motion for a new trial in this case is dismissed." SEQUEL TO THE CASE. Bencher's Evidence Separates Jackson Rex and Wife. A sequel to the Beucher murder case was made public yesterday, when Jackson Rex, of 964 North Fifth street, was arraigned before Magistrate Wilhere, charged with as- sauiting nis wne. hen lieucher was placed on the stand he testified that his sus picious of his wife's relations with Dennis Crowley bad been confirmed when he sur prised Mrs.

Beucher in company with Crowley, Mrs. Hex and another man whom he did not know, in a disreputable house. Bex, learning of his wife's conduct, lelt her. He visited the Twelfth district station house on Tuesday night and asked to be looked up, staling that his wife was follow. ing him and he was atraid he would hurt her.

At Ninth street he met his wife and assaulted her. He was held in 500 baiL Bencher's Estate Gone. In the Common Pleas Courts yesterday the suit ot Nicholas J. Griffin against Edward Martin, and action to recover an amount due on a promissory note for SG95, dated January 30, leuu, payable in six months, was put on trial.

The defendant alleged that the note was made by him in favor ot Joseph Beucher, as an accommoda tion note, Beucher having passed it to a third party lor the payment of a debt Beucher has executed a power of attorney to his lawyer, who, the defendant alleged, had collected the proceeds of Beucher's estate in order to apply the money real'zed toward the payment of the latter's debets and that a sufficient amount had been collected from the estate to fully liquidate the amount due on the note. Verdict for plaintiff, 5730.16. Skilton Acquitted. The trial ot ex-Lieutenant of Police Alex ander Skilton, charged with stealing letters while a clerk in the Postoffice, was resumed yesterday in the United States District Court, before Judge Butler, and resulted late in the day in a verdict of acquittal. Une testimony offered lor the defense con sisted in a flat denial of the charge by the accused and the calling of a score of prom inent persons who swore to Stilton's good character.

Mr. bhields made an earnest plea for the acensed, scoring Inspector Griggs and claiming that he was endeavor ing to secure his promotion by causing the prisoner's ruin. District Attorney Bead closed for the government and at 4 o'clock Uo jar rendered a verdict of "not guilty. 809811 CHESTNUT 51?
