PLEADED GUILTY OF MURDER Jovlonosky Gets Ten Years and Six Months at "Cherry Hill." By the time court adjourned Monday the Jury in the case of the commonwealth against Andrew Jovionosky had been chosen. The man la charged with killing Charles Melesky at Dur yea. A surprise was in store for the court and jury yesterday morning.

It was sprung shortly after court convened, when Judge Bennett announced that the prisoner had pleaded guilty generally to the charge of murder and had withdrawn his previous plea of not guilty. The jury empaneled in the case was discharged. The court then stated that a number of witnesses would be examined to fix the degree of guilt and also to learn the circumstances that furnished a motive for the murder. George Koons said he was in the postofnee when he heard a noise or scuffle outside. He looked and saw outside the fence a number of men who were fighting.

Jovlonosky had a revolver in his hand and said it was his Christmas candy. He made the threat that the first man who came near him would get the first bullet, and, pointing the pistol to his mouth, he said he would get the next one himself. Charles Melesky approached and asked Jovlonosky what was the matter. The latter told him to stand back. Melesky asked him then for a chew of tobacco.

The defendant would not give him the tobacco. A few more words were spoken, there was another scuffle and a shot was fired. Melesky cried out, "I am shot," and immediately thereafter fell. He was taken to the hospital, where he died. I did not see him again until 1 saw him in the coffin at the funeral.

On cross examination, in answer to Mr. Thornton's questions, the facts in the shooting were more fully detailed. It was elicited from the witness that the prisoner was drunk at the time, that he was surrounded by a crowd, which after the shooting gave chase and took the revolver from him. Other witnesses Corroborated him. Jovlonosky was then called to the bar and sentenced to undergo Imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary for a period of ten years and six months.

It is generally thought that the fellow got off easily. It seemed clear that he meant to shoot. It was shown, too, that he was a thief on a small scale. He had stolen some money and also the revolver. AVOCA On Wednesday, Nov.

Since the school board has so generously opened three night schools in the borough, it would be well for the parents of the young girls, who are employed in the silk mill, to embrace this excellent opportunity of giving their rhildren a proper rudimentary training. Ihe schools are in charge of three Jadies, who will be only too glad to receive these girls. There Is sufficient room to accommodate all and their presence at night school would not only prevent their promenading the streets r.lghtly, but would also tend to have a refining Influence upon the young men.

Tne directors are considering the enforcement of the THE SCRAXTON BEPTJBUCAN, WEDNESDAY MOKNEsG, NOVEMBER 10, 1897. compulsory education law, which compels all children between the ages of six and sixteen to attend school at least weeks and if they conclude to do so, many who are now at work will be compelled to attend school. The night schools in the past have been obliged to close before the expiration of the allotted time because of the slim attendance, and the cause can be traced to the carelessness of parents. On the streets every night are seen young boys and young: girls wasting time that could be profitably spent in developing their mirds and shaping them to be useful men and women.
