In court, today. Judge Halsey handed down an opinion in the case of the Commonwealth versus Maurice Keefe, an election officer of the North district of Pittston township. The opinion of the court was on a rule to quash the Indictment wherein Keefe was charged with not enclosing a list of voters in his return of last spring's election in his district. The Judge discharged the rule, and Mr. Keefe will, therefore, be obliged to stand trial In court, his failure to enclose a list of voters with his return being an offense against the election laws. The opinion of the court is a lengthy and technical one, reviewing in detail the law and decisions of the higher courts applying to the case In hand. District Attorney E. R. Jones and E. C. Jones are representing the Commonwealth in the prosecution of the case, while James L. Morris Is counsel for the defendant.Inquiry into the reason for this elicits the information that these employes secured loans from the bank ttyit have not yet been met.

Uill Proposed Against Trust Company Apparently the accident was the result of the boy's own carelessness as the slate pickers are not supposed to go near the openings of the pockets. About 12:20, just a few minutes before the whistle blew, some of the boys who were not busy started playing. McAndrew was running about and he went into the room where the chutes lead Irjto the pockets. According to boys who H.vw the accident he sat on the coal in one of the chutes and took a ride on It close to the opening, where it Is dumped.

GENERAL STRIKE IN RUSSIA It Is understood that Attorney Morris took the contract from the hands of O'Brien & Dunn in order to protect an amount of money which he forwarded tor the firm some time since. As they were unable to continue with the work and the time was coming when the city would be enabled to proceed against their bond, according to terms of contract .''fthe continuation. of the work became a very serious matter with all concerned, until finally Attorney Morris came to the rescue with the plan to have the contract assigned to and completed by himself.'An act to incorporate Urn Fireproof Warehousing company and the act." amendatory thereof.'"

Moxey, the spccial government examiner lnvertigating1 the affa'rs of the Enterprise Hank, will arrive from Washington on Thursday morning and it is then expected criminal action .will be instituted against certain persons in connection with the bank's fai'ure. United States District Attorney Dunkle, who will prosreute the guilty parties, does not deny that there are persons under ruspicion, but refuses at this time to make known any names. St. Petersburg, Nov. 15-—In view of the condemnation to death of many of the sailors who mutinied at Croustadt, the delay in carrying out the reforms nittlined in the imperiul manifestoes, the proclamation of martial law in I'olaud and other repressive acts, the council of workmen's delegates has decided to proclaim a general strike through out Russia today. In articles published in the New York newspapers soon afterward It was made clear that this bill was apparently aimed Jit the Mercantile Trust company, as the Fireproof Warehousing company was incorporated on May !D. 1NC8, by special act of the legislature, and on Julie 27, 1873, Its name was changed by amendment to the Mercantile Trust company, and under that cognomen it was subsequently acquired aud became a valuable adjunct ol the Equitable Life.

Tho executive department of the city have been endeavoring for some veeks past to have the work go on, but It seemed that the contractors were unable to proceed with operations for some reason. According tc the terms of the contract, the successful bidder was given three months to complete the work and as the time limit was approaching the officials threatened a few days ago to notify the bonding company that their bond was liable to be proceeded against. This Is probably what brought about the action whereby Attorney Morris took the contract. Wilkesbarrc Today This action by the convention Is said to represent the opinion of practically the entire population of tlie Isle of Pines. At the meeting there was Only one voice raised against the action taken. That was by a man who expressed fear of the results, asserting that all are liable to punishment under Cuban laws.

He said he believed thai Mr. Prick, Mr. Harriman and others had supported Ills ambition to become United States ambassador to Knrope !n the hope of thereby shelving him in Equitable affairs and getting him ou: of the way. The breaker boys once called out and the machinery was stopped as soon as possible. The action of closing the coverings at the foot of the chute pressed the coal down more heavily In the pocket.

Prick, had tree unintended to Mr. Alexander, president of the Equitable, a campaign contribution of $2Tt.OOO to Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican national campaign committee. A contribution of $25,000 had already been made by the Equitable to the Republican campaign fund a few months previous, while Mr. Hyde was in Europe. He was not aware that this had been done, but the second contribution was made nevertheless, muklug the Equitable's donation toward Mr. Roosevelt's re-election last year $50,000.

His father is employed as a miner In No. 10, but had left for home before the apcident occurred. ills decision not to come to the capital Is regarded as unfortunate, not only for its moral effect, but because It keeps him surrounded by court influences and out of close touch with Count Wltte.
