According to the statements of the several banks of this city and npiphfinrinir tnwna i.ui.lo in witb tho COURT PKOCKKDINOS Apbil HEssioKftneporteit by L. SchMuit, week of criminal court just closed was a remarkable one in many respects. cases upon the list Included the lowest, as well as the highest, grade of crime.

The work thrown upon the District Attorney, the jury and the court daring the first three days of the week was distinctly light, but lor the last three days as important as any that could engage the attention of a court, being no leBs than the charge of minder the disposition of a primary election fraud case. Upon Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday the work of the grand jury and of the court was completed early in the af-teraoou, the court adjourning on the two latter days at an o'clock, an occurrence heretofore unheard of iu the week of criminal court. This was accomplished largely thnmeh the iuaattisent direction of the labors of the the people of Allen- ME CONSULTATION FOR THE SICI AND PRICE OF TREATMENT BY ROY PHENOMENON GREATLY REDUCED FOR ONE WEEK ONLY. A Chance the Sick May Never Have Again to be Examined Free and Treated at Prices within the Beach of All. Truth, honesty and uprightness is a trinity of virtues that should be the guiding star of every man in his dealings with the afflicted.

It is only by such methods can their confidence be won and retained for they are nearly all disgusted or discouraged In trying to get well, and little wonder. Bnt that is the pedestal npon which the record of the Boy Phenomenon is reared, and he points with pride and satisfaction to his six yearn professional work, which record and reputation can never be assailed, for It is as pure and spotless as the driven snow, and towers, like a shaft of ivory, to the clouds. Realizing there are still a large number of the afflicted who are yet skeptical of the true of this advanced system, even though two public exhibitions of a convinca ing nature have been witnessed by 3000 people, and that dozens of our oldest citizens are publishing testimonials In onr daily papers vouching for the wonderful benefits derivedstill, there are some who doubt the permanency of these cores. To convince this class that a core by vital magnetism is more positive and lasting than by any other system, and at the same time, to have the largest number possible of the sick and crippled as walking advertisements of what magnetism has done for them, and knowing that many besides those who have already been examined could be cored in one or two treatments, the eTmnrifning physician has decided to give consultation absolutely free to all, for six days only, commencing Monday morning. April 24.

at 10 o'clock, daring which time the price of treatment wfll also be greatly reduced. The object of tbis great reduction is three fold to eon. vince the doubtful that vital magnetism is tbe greatest boon to suffering humanity to give those an opportunity to be cured who cannot afford, or. lacking confidence, did not feel justified in paying tbe nsoal fees. To effect as many cores as possible in Allentown.

so tbat when he again returns, the public will be prepared to accept this great troth. Those having previously been examined may return with their envelopes and accept these reduced prices, the same as new patients, providing they call within six days. The office will remain at the Hotel Allen and in view of the large number wo wfll take advantage of these low fees, the office hours will be extended from 10a.rn.to5 p. m. and 7 to 8 p.

He is a first- class smith, and carries on the trade in all its various branches, including wagon work, machin ery and implement repairing, He however excels especially as a horse-shoer. having made norse-Bboeing a special study, lie claims to be fully acquainted with the anatomy of the horse's foot, having carefully studied its anatomical stratnre and physiological functions, find its office and position in locomotion or progression, as well as its many diseased conditions, both hered itary and acquired, in all their varions phases. and through a prolonsed Draence experience ac quired great skill in shoeing diseased feet, as well as in balancing perverted locomotion, and hence guarantees satisfaction in shoeing horses so as to stop them from interfering, forging, catting, knee bitting, ankle cutting, calkinir, aud all other bad effects. His business is already quite extensive. and tbe Lyon Valley people are exceedingly glad that such a useful man haB located in their midst.

Tbe new Allentown Hospital is confidently expected to be ready for the reception of patients by that time. The building is a handsome and imposing strnctnre of granite and cream colored brick situate at Chew and Seventeenth streets, opposite the fair grounds.

Its dimensions are 80 by 60 feet. It stands npon a lot fronting 260 feet on Chew street and extending 480 feet to Gordon street. Its architectural beauty is striking, and its general appearance most pleasing and attractive. The arrangements and adaptability for tbe purposes for which it has been built are all of a modernized and np to-date character, and the institution ranks among the finest of the kind in our State. It is most cjrtah--ly a credit and an ornament to onr city.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach tbe diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by anMnflamed condition of the mucous lining of tbe Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and wben It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless tbe Inflammation can betaken out and tbis tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surf acea.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrb) tbat cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrb Cure. Send for circulars; F. J. CHENEY Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c NO MORE COAL JIMMIES." The Lei Valley and Central R.

R. companies have solu a Canadian railway all their six-ton "Jimmy" coal cars. Hereafter, as soon as possible, both roads will nse only gondolas, with patent couplers and air brake attachments. Both roads have thousands of these small cars in nse now, and by disposing of them all at once they will have much trouble to supply the demand at nine collieries for cars. Tbis move on the companies' partis compulsory, because of a national law which provides that all railroads after 1900 mast nse cars, whether freight, coal or any kind, with patent couplers.

To not these couplers in "Jimmies" would be too expensive, and tbe cheapest method was to dispose of them. LAMENTABLE RESULT OF A FIST BLOW. Several months ago a young man named Robt. C.

We see it stated that fruit growers expect a large apple crop this year, they giving as a reason that the early cold weather prevented the sap from rising in the trees, which when moderate weather continues late in the Beaton rises and in snbsequent cold weather in the latter part of the winter and early spring freezes, greatly damaging the crop. The present condition of the trees is such that it is thought no amount of cold weath er can affect next season a crop.

In a recent issue of the Democbat brief mention was made of the death of Enue Lruckeumiller, of near Old Zionsville, Upper Miiford township. Having learned more of his life, death and funeral we can now furnish his many friends with more definite and correct information. He was a son of Michael Drnckenmiller and his wife Elizabeth, nee Mechlin, and wns born in Hereford township. Berks county. At the age of 19 he was confirmed and remnined a life-long member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

For mmy years he was the choir leader and organist of St. Peter's Union Church, on the Lehigh Mountain, near Shimersville, in the same township. Iu 18 17 he was married tn Anna Desch, a sister of Mr. George Desch, of Macuugie borough. The fruits of their blessed relation were 16 children, two of whom, together with the mother, preceded the husband ami father to their eternal home.

In addition to being organist anil a teacher of both vocal anil instrumental music he followed the occupation of tannine. For about 80 years he resided near Old Zionsville. on the farm lately tilled by his son-in-law, Milton Kleinsiuith. but now owned by a Mr. Koth.

Mr. Drnckenmiller never took any active part iu the political iiff lirs of the county, hnt was a faithful ail active member of his church. The history of Zhiu'h Luthemu Church, at Zionsville. without being written in detail, will forever bear witness to the fiict of his usefulness, activity aud faithfulness, both in the congregation and Sundiiy School. When the new church was erected in 1875 6.

he was honored by being chosen to serve on Us bni'ding committee, and his excellent judgment oft times proved his worth in the suggesting and directing of the work in hand. As an officer of the congregation and Sunday School, or working as only a teacher in the same, he was ever noted for bin earnettuesB and punctuality. His death, came suddenly from an at tack of apoplexy on Wednesday morning. March 29th, and the announcement of it naturally greatly shocked his many friends, aud caused a pall to o'ereprend the communitv. The deceased brought his age to 78 jears, 3 mouths and 15 dass.

Eight daughters, til sous, two of whom are Lutheran clergymen, forty-two grai dchiidren, and one great-grand-chi'd, snrvive. His fnneral occurred April 4th at the Evangelical Lutheran Chnrch, Zionsvil le. Kev. I. B.

C. HiiUfch, of Allentown, and it is to be said further that the funeral occasion drew together a large congregation of mourning friends and sympathizing neighbors. was a most excellent man in every particular no better in the township, or. for that matter, in the entire county, and hence his sudden and nuexpected pissing away is greatly mourned. He was tine to all duties imposed upon him, and his whole life was one of honorable intention and cheerful devotion to every requirement.

In all respects he endeavored faithfully to discbarge his duties as a man ami as a citizen. He was ever conspicuous for bis broad Beuse of duty to his fellow meu. bis honesty and integrity, and seemed to make it an object of his existence that his life should he faultltss in the sight of God and man. He lived at paxes with his neighbors, was kind and considerate in bis intercourse with all men. In bis own family he was the dearly loved aud loving father.

His children looked np to, revered and honored him, and his love for them was i q-ially deep and strong. He was a man of liberal views, kind-hearted, and strong in his nttacDmeiits to all friends. His circle of arqu iintnuces was a large one, including ninny promiutnt mt throughout the county. He whs a man whose word was considered as good as his bond, of a sterling integrity and Dosaesstd of a hieh sense of honor. He was unreservedly trusted and respected.

His career both as a citizen and Christian was exemplary He was a patriarch in the community where he lived, and a strong pillar in the Zionsville Lutheran Church. By request, on the occasion of tLe funeral, the pastor read the following telegram received by Tilghman. one of the eons of the deceased, resid iug at Zionsville, from his brother, Kev.

HOW ONE OF OUR LEADING CITIZENS, A WELL KNOWN HEAL ESTATE AGENT, CAME TO LOSE HIS GLOSSY GOATEE. One of our most prominent citizens and well known business men, located on North Seventh street, not a block away from Centre Square, recently made his appearance with his jovial and good-natured looking phiz" entirely denuded of its former attractive and very becoming birsnte appendage in the form of a strong beard which had adorned his beaming countenance for many years. HiB remarkably changed appearance does not, how ever, prove to have been voluntarily assumed.

Our good friend has ascertained to bis discomfiture and perhaps sorrow, that a pir of shears in the hands of an interesting grsndchild, when nsed as a plaything, most certainly will accomplish disastrous results. One dexterous clip ofthein-strnment in the hands of the juvenile may cause such a sad disfigurement as to cssitate the wearing of a cleanly shaved face as the only method to meet the sit nation with becoming but involuntary resignation.

Tuei were as cases upon tbe list, ur tnese a i were continued. 9 nolle urossed or discontinued, and of the bal.uice surety of tbe peace complaints were dismissed, 3 were heard and the defendants sentenced, 3 non-support cha rges dismissed, and in' 3 sentences were Imposed.

Ibis disposed of 50 cases. The balance, 3S cases, were the ones which were handled by the juries. Of these the grand jury ignored 12 and returned true hills in 26. In these 20 cases Uromau's persuasive eloquence si cured 21 pleas of guilty from more or less willing defendants. In the ren 5 cases tried there were 2 verdicts of acquittal, and 3 of guilty.

The most important and interesting case was that against Frank I. Krauso, charged with the murder of Maggie Oath, a full report of which appears iu another part this issue. I Ii" court room was crowutu wiiu spectators interested in this trial, which resulted in a conviction murder in the first degree. Another case of general interest was that against Milton E.

vs. Milton Kerschner. Fraud at primary elec ou oath of John Allen, of Uokendauqua. Kerschner the judge at the Democratic primary election for Middle Whitehall District at Mrs. Mary Wehrle's hotel, 17, isss.

It is alleged that he read the ballots rong-ly to the tellers, especially in the vote cast for District vttorney. The returns Bhowed the vote as follows Ltch.enwaluer, 14; tirouian, 33; Lutz, 97, and Foci it, 3. ain'e then 94 voters have signed a statement that they cast their ballots for Gronian. The defendant pleaded not guilty. His attorneys were Messrs.

Schwartz and UUlinger. District Attorney uroinan being an mierestea party, Mr. Dewalt aud Mr. Lichtenwalner conducted tbe prosecutiou. The deiense moved to quash the indictment the ground that counts Nos.

1 and 2 do not charf-e an indictable offence, and JNos. 3. 4 and are not sumcientiy specific in charging an indictable offence and are too general. This was overruled. A motion that the cooi nion- wealth file a bill of oarticulars was also overruUd.

A was then drawn and the trial proceeded with. out of sixty voters called as witnesses all but six testified they had voted for Oroiuan. One man had voted for lachteuwalner, aud one did not recall tor wnoin he voted. About twenty did not know positively, as some else prepared their tickets. Oue of the most active markers a the election was Patrick Herrity.

who was a candidate for county committeeman ag tini-t Klnit-r Schei- aud was one of Mr. i-utz warmest supporters. The defendant's counsel insisted that tne testimony or voters as not the best evidence, and that the Com mon- wealth should produce the ballot box and return sheets. This was objected to by the Commonwealth's attorneys, the Court permitted the voters to be called. County Chairman Kline was sworn, and it developed that the re turn sheet was missing, as was also every return shi-et or that election.

They had been tied in a bundle and placed a closet in his office. The day of the November elec tion he had house cleaning and this bundle was burned wiih a lot of other stuff. Leo Wise, Emi oue of the clerks of the Board of Keturn Judges, te lied as to the number of votes returned, from tne taole sneet. Air. Kerschner's counsel once mors objected to any and all testimony except the written testimony of the board from thai district, which would be the contents of the ballot box, the ballot box envelope, and the return envelope in hands of the inspector.

Unborn Baeger, oue of tne inspectors, sain ne saw a good many of the ballots, and that they corresponded with what Kerschner had read off. Patrick Herrity. a storekeeper on Water street, who runs the coat on election day, was asked how he voted for district attorney. Defendant's counsel objected, saying a witness was not compelled to answer how he voted unless he did so volun tarily, overruled by tne oourt. lie saia ne votoa ror (iroman.

To test his memory, in reply to Sir. Hctiv rtz'u inquiry, he said he voted for 8tiles, Moyer and and for sheriff for Bitilng. He said that at i o'clock on election day Kerschner had call.d him out and said he ebouidu'i worry about his candidacy lor comnuueenian, that he would put him iu all right. He asked, How will you do it Kerschner said. I'll couut the ballots aud read your name off for committeeman." Well, Milt you don't need to do that; all I want is a Bqtiare deal sun a square show," the witness testi hed he bad replied to Kerschner.

Mr. Herrity denied having called Kerschner into a back room to tell him he shouldn't couut him in by five, as that might look suspicious, but 2 or tne deienaant ine original Dauot dox was admitted testimony. Mrs. Wehrle, who had the box, and Kerschner both testified that it had not been tampered wuh and remained at one place until d. Snyder, who was sent by defendant's attorne) brought it from Mrs.

Wehrlt 's place then othce and deposited it in tne Bale. Jlhe votes were counted iu court, Clerk Kreitz reading the names, the court and one of the jury keeping tally. The result of the count was Lutz, tie; uroman, 33; ucfitenwainer. 14, and Focht. 3.

This result showed a variation of ene vote. In the original return Lutz was credited with 97. There was one ticket in the box which was not marked at all. and this would explain the discrepancy of oue vote. The admission of the ballots strengthened and won the case for the defendant.

Verdict for defendant, county to pay tbe costs. The grand jury returned a true bill against Morris Zin- derstem for shooting Max Wolff, President of the Palace Silk Manuf acturing Co. in South Allentown, Jan. bsth last. The court fixed his bail at $5,000, and accepted Andreas Herman and Charles A.

zinderstem as bondsmen. It was ordered that one of the conditions of the recognizance shall be that the defendant keep the peace, especially aa to Max Wolff. Tbe court made an order quoting the report of the commission in lunacy that Zindersteia is insane and ought to be restrained and is a suitable case for confinement. An order 1b made committing hiin to the Nornstown Asylum, tne cost ol commitment aud maintenance to be paid by Charles Zinderstein.

Richard son, Superintendent of the Asylum, is notified by the court that zinderstein is a very dangerous nomicidai lunatic, aud is requested to keep him strictly separate and closely confined until further order of this court or delivered to his sureties.

The order in full is to be deUvert to tbe suueriutendent. The commitment is assented to by his sureties. Jacob E. Koken, late private of Company 15 Ird Reg ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, was granted a aoldior's peddler's license.

Edmund Kratzer, the Emaus landlord, convicted at the January term of giving away bqnor on Sunday, was called up for sentence.

When convicted a motion was made for a new trial, but Judge Albright handed down an opinion dismissing the appeal. The law states that landlords can not even give away liquor ou Sunday, nor treat their friends, and this has been tbo tenor of Pennsylvania legislation for fifty years.
