Mr. Burger was about 43 years of sge, and a basket maker by trade, but for tbs'lastaix or seven years had been suffering from dyspepsia, and of late complained niott bitterly, and had become so emaciated that he could scaroely speak. He was a married man but had no children. OX lata he became so melancholy that his wife kept watch over him, fearing that he would commit suicide. 1 Yesterday morning while Mrs.

Burger was absent from home for a short time for the purpose of procuring medicine for him, he obtained a piece of rope about three feet long, and after making a nooge and pitting it around his neck he tied one etd the hay rack tn the barn and strangled himself. When found he was nearly in a perpendicular position, resting on his feet, Burger was a quiet, sober man, and was mnch respected by his neighbors, but being unable to work became very poor.

Interment at Prospect Hill, OPISIOX OF JCDGE RES 01 TUE IPrilCATIO. Joha ojle to be Taken Adams oanlj, and Fhere Tried. In court yesterday morning Hon.

Judge Wickes filed the following opinion in the cut sf the Com. vs. John Coj le, charged with the murder of Emily Myers, en ths application by prisoner's counsel for a change of venue Tb application of the defend tat in the case for a change of venue is made under th provisions ot the Act of assembly approved March J8tb, 1875, P. L. 30.

Among tb ease enumerated la the act in whioh the venue may be changed are the following: "When it is made ta appear to he tatinf action of the ootrrt, tbat from undue eioltement against the prisoner, in the county where the offi nse was committed, a fair trial cannot be had, or that there exists in that eotlnty so great a prejudice agiii.it that he cannot obtain a fuir tilaL" The application of the prisoner under this siction is supported by numerous affida vits, whilsthe District Attorney frankly admits his inability to produce affidavits ten ling to show the contrary. We cannot of course astuae to know the state of pnb- 110 feeling upon this or any other subject, except ss it ia revealed to ns by the evi denoe produced In codrt, and a this appli cation stands, it is our el ar duty to send tbls esse for trie; "lo some adjoining or convenient county, where the causes al leged for a change do not exist." The District Attorney has adverted to the cacses which in his Judgment have inten i-fied the hostilo feeling this singularly revolting crime at first awakened. The shooting of a defenseless orphan girl, because tbs refuted to be the mistress or the wife ol her fltyer, may well challenge pub- lio indigna'lon; but when the case was first tried, it had not assumed suoh proportions as to prevent the selection of a jury, ct refill of the prisoner right, but not unmindful of the rights soci ty is supposed to have la cases of this character. The cage was carefully investigated, And the prisoner's dnfonse of insanity fully developed. A verdict of guilty followed, and on a motion for a new triul, all the imagined er rors of this court were discussed, except the one, which the Supreme Court afterwards suggested, and for which alone it reversed the judgment.

This ei ror consisted, it is said, in the improp- use of a single word. We aaid, in charging the Jury, that when the kil.ing is admitto-l, and insanity the defense, the evidence of it mast "clearly preponderate. (5 W. K. C.

41.) This the Supreme Court said was error that "fairly preponderate was strong enough." The wisdom of thisdeidon it would be unbecoming in ns to question. We can only say of the higher court, what Lord Holt said of rsrlhmanr, "It csn do no wrong, without adding the reflection his Lordship saw proper to append. Bat whether the qualifying word gives to "preponderate" the added force set forth in the opinion, or whether, if it does. it requires a higher msasan ot proof than that which the oouiU have approved from McNanghten's esse to this, an questions hich lawjers and laymen have alike as sumed te But whatever tb) meii's of the question may be, it is idle to deny that public sen timent has been deeply sMired, at seeing a convicted fulou handed ovf to what Mr. Justice Agnew so aptly called "tl! ths va rious means of avoiding retributive F.8.59 And it is enough tor us to know that the feeling txists, whatever may have caused it-to recogi ize the possible to this defendant, should he be agiiu tried in this jnrisdiction.

The hardships of sending this case so fc from ths homes of tb most" of whom are poor, has been brought on their behalf to the notice of the court. But we have no power to avert it. We can only administer the laws as we find them, and follow the decisions of the Supreme Court wherever they may lead. We therefore make the following order: And now, to wit, December sixth, 1333, on due consideration of the application for a change of venue ia this case to wit, the csee of the Commonwealth vs. John Coyle, indicted in the' court of Oyer and Terminer of York county for the aider of Emily Myere, being indictment No.

53 'of Jane sessions 1851, and being satisfied from the evidence prcduoed that a fair trial cannot be obtained in this county because of the predjadioe existing against the said prisoner, we do order that the venae thereof be ohanged to the adjoining couuty of Adams, where the cause alleged for this change does not exist. And we do furthur order, that a warrant shall issue directed to the Sheriff of York county, commanding him to safely convey the prisoner, John Coyle, to the jail of the county of Auams, there to be safely kept by the Jailor thereof until discharged by doe ooureeof law.

MANUFACTUaiNO ICB. Fourteen Tons Made at a Ooat of Li Thn $1 2J a Ton. The Moliere Ice Company of Philadelphia are now manufacturing fourteen tons of fite ioe, nine inches thick, daily, at a cost of Inm kiiau io.

The apparatus by whioh this result is asoomplished is the only one of the kind in the com try. The ioe is made in an air-tight chamber 37 by 30 feet and 21 fvet high. Iu this freezing room there is an immecss iron wheel 60 feet in circumference, with a surface on its fao of 420 square feet. Beneath this great revolving wheel is a trough ia which a small stream of water is kept constantly running. The temperature of the room is reduced below the freezing poiit, and the big wheel turns at the rate of ninety revolutions an hour, passing through the trough, thus oenstantl? taking np a thin him of water, which friezes before it can drop off.

As the mm ate and hours go by, a band of lee frptea aa hard as iron, accumulates upon the turfaae of the wheel. When this ice batd becoires nine or ten inches thick the machinery is stopped and the operators are ready to oat off and store away thei ten or fourteen tons of splendid ioe The manner ia which the temperature of the' chamber is reduced is quite as simple as the operation of the big wheel, Ordinary ammonia, or hartshorn, is purified by being passed through an apparatus constructed for that purpose and ia thus made into gas. It is then passed into a jOondenser, and by means of a powerful steam pump compressed until it becomes liquid. In this condition it is passed into a receiver plaoed near he gr at ice chamber. Ia this chamber, wound about the interior of the big whee1 and suspended from the ceiling are coils of iron pipes.which ire an inch and a half I i diameter.

In all there are about 8,000 feet of the pipes, wbioh connect it with the receiver containing the liquefied ammonia. A stopcock allowsthe operator to control the ess age of the ammonia into tbese coils of pipe.
