J J. IMe was Inriictsd far murder in the fint degree, having been a party to the murder of a saloon keeper in Scranton a year or so ago. The jury before which he was recently triad disagreed, and proceedings were taken, according to all precedent in this Mate, for hi* prosecution in a new trial Koefe's counsel held that having been once placed in jeopardy of life by trial, the disagreement of the jury could not again place him in jeopardy. Judge Hand decided that the counsel's proposition was right, aad established tha principle that a disagreement of a jury in a capital case wa equivalent to an acquittal of tha accused, and that the prisoner could not be jeopardised a second time. This was an entirely new theory In the criminal practice of the state, and the district attorne/of Lackawanna county has appealed to the supreme court for final interpretation of the law In the case.

Bradford, Pa., Feb. 8.—Train 8, the fast day express for the east over the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio road was wrecked at Hamburg station twelve miles west of Salamanca, yesterday. Train 8 was rawing forty - flve miles an hour. Near Steam burg station a broken frog or rail was struck. The engine, baggage car and smoker pa wad over in safety, but the day ooaotr, ♦hlch contained only nine or ten passengers, was thrown off the rails with terrible force and into the side Jof a caboose attached to a freight which was standing on the siding waiting for train 8 to pass. One passenger, a lady, was instantly killed and several others were more or less injured. In the caboose, which was completely wrecked, were three men, one of whom had his neck broken by the shock. The dead and wounded were brought to Salamanca. The list of the dead and injured is as follows: Sheriff Duffy issued the following proclamation to-day: The Banner of the publication of the treaty in Vienna is an interesting specimsn of European journalism. The Hungarian official journal, a morning paper, did not publish it on Friday inorning because it was a holiday, but in the evening, at 0 o'cloek, a special edition of the paper burst on the town like a blase of fireworks. It was printed by a few employes sworn to secrecy, and without the slightest knowledge on the part of anybody outside of government circles. To the Cltlsens of Sehulkil! County, Greeting: Whereas, During the past week breaches of ths public peace and riots hare occurred, and riotous assemblages have gathered In and near the borough of Hheuandoah, In said county, contrary to law and agaipst the peace and dignity of the commonwealth; and before the dynamite explodes—penetration being absolutely necessary in order U, obtain the fuH destructive power of the explosive. The demcuMtrations of this invention have thus far been made by order of (Jen. Sheridan; two at San Francisco in the summer of lSt*f, and the third at Sandy Hook. The experiments at San Francisco were conducted Whereas, By such meaus tbe public peace has been greatly disturbed, and life and property thereby endiuigered, and it is apprehended that further similar acts of violence may be committed; and by Gen. O. O. Howard, and were intended merely to demonstrate that shells charged with dynamite could be tired from cannon without premature explosion. After fifty-eight dynamite shells had been successfully fired out of a&Jneh and 4 1-2-inch siege gun from the Presidio grounds into the hills acroai the Golden Gate, tue board of officers, conducting the experiment, expressed the opinion in its report that the two principal causes or apprehensions of danger, "heat and shook," had • bee* completely guarded against Gen. Howard then recommended further experiments with larger guns, and out of this recommendation grew the Sandy Hook demonstration with a 7-inch Amies gun and 123- pound shells. The San Francisco experiments had proven that dynamite shells could ha fired from cannon with safety, and at Sandy Hook it wae intended to prove that Graydon's method of charging dynamite shells posssessed still another important merit, that of obtaining penetration before explosion. The effect of the thrgp shots fired there is minutely described by the board in its report Hfcvo of the shots were glancing shots, and not on" shots, as was desired to test penetration; but they penetrated the front plate several inches and caused marked wreckage; the first, tearing oil the iron roof, weighing Jftaan tons, and throwing it a distance of twenty-five feet, aa well as bursting bolt heads uid separating the plates soveral inches.
