Relics from the Philippines
             Rev. George P. Donehoo, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has been presented with a number of relics gathered in the Phillipines, principally on battlefields, by Rev. Joseph Hunter, of Jamestown, the “fighting chaplin” of the famous Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, which saw hard service in that country.

             The most interesting article in the collection, owing to the fact that it once belonged to the noted Aguinaldo, is a small piece of decorated china plate, one of the dinner set found in his residence at Mololoe when the Tenth captured the city.  Almost equally interesting, from historical standpoint, is the cane made from the wood of the Spanish warship, Velasco, which was destroyed in Manila Bay by Dewey’s fleet, and which is tipped with a mauser shell.  Two vicious looking knives with long blades and sheaths, similar in outline to a machete, are the formidable articles of the collection.  They were picked up on the battlefield at Poloe after the Filipinos had been defeated and to all appearances had been used with effect.   The curiosities of the collection are a piece of this shell and a sharp double pointed bamboo thong.  The former is used by the natives for window glass and is often beautifully decorated, making a pleasing effect.  The bamboo thong is a specimen of the mode of warfare waged by the Spanish against the Filipinos.  They were distributed over the fields near the Spanish entrenchments, one point being driven into the ground, and were so effectively covered by the high grass that many a Filipino was almost impaled during a charge.  Rev. Donehoo values the collection highly and takes pride in showing it to his friends.

Church Case in the Supreme Court
             The long drawn out Jamestown church case of Rev. J.R. Wallace against the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian church of North America was heard in the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

             Rev. Mr. Wallace was installed as pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Jamestown in 1871, and he held that position until 1892, when he and the session of his church began to disagree.  The result of this was that charges were preferred against Rev. Mr. Wallace in Lake Presbytery.  He was accused of failing a proper respect to the session.  There was a division in the church, many of the members taking the side of the pastor.  The Presbytery dismissed Rev. Mr. Wallace from his congregation and he took an appeal to the Synod.  The Synod reversed the Presbytery and reinstated him, and the Presbytery took an appeal to the General Assembly.  The General Assembly reversed the Synod.  Rev. Mr. Wallace was dismissed finally from his charge by this decision.

             He filed a bill in equity against the General Assembly, asking that an injunction issue restraining it from interfering with him in his pastoral duties at the Jamestown church.  Te bill was dismissed by the lower court and an appeal was taken by Rev. Mr. Wallace to the Supreme Court, and was heard as above stated.  No decision has yet been rendered.

Needlework Guild Ingathering
             The Sharon branch of the Needlework Guild of America will have its annual ingathering of articles for the hospital and for charitable purposes next Monday, Nov. 6th.  Members of the Guild, who have not been visited by a director, and wish to contribute, please send the contribution, with name and name of the director to Miss Emma Bell, No. 5 North Water street.

            The report of the Guild for the last year shows 303 articles and $5.25 received.  Sixty-two articles were donated expressly for the Elmira home.  The Buhl hospital received what articles it needed, and the rest was distributed among the poor by the directors, who gave their personal attention to it, so that none but the most worthy and needy were helped.  The balance of the money, after sending the yearly dues to Philadelphia, was made go as far as possible in buying groceries.

             A contribution of canned fruit, jellies, jams, etc., for the hospital would be very acceptable.  Any one wishing to offer such a donation will please leave it at Hanlon’s or Caldwell’s grocery store.  – Sec. Of Guild.

MERCER
            Nov. 1.  The case against J.O. and Joan Anderson, on trial when our report cleared last week, resulted in a verdict of not guilty and the county pay the costs.

            Harry Vernon, charged with burglary, was declared not guilty.  The parties to this suit reside in French Creek township, but sixty rods apart, Mr. A.M. Dickson, the prosecutor, came home from grange meeting on the evening of August 12, 1899, and found his house had been entered and a revolver taken.  He suspected the defendant and set a neighbor to work to find whether he had the missing article.  The detective secured a revolver from defendant which the prosecutor pronounced as his, by certain marks thereon, hence the suit.  Defendant proved a good character, his whereabouts that evening and testified that he had secured the revolver from an uncle, in which he was corroborated.

             The case of Commonwealth vs. C.C. Campbell, alias Charles Cunningham Campbell; indictment, first count, practicing medicine without a license; second count, practicing medicine and surgery without having exhibited a license to the Prothonotary; third count, practicing medicine and surgery without being registered, occupied the entire day Thursday and the jury were out all night.  The defendant in this case is a practicing physician in Greenville and been engaged in the practice of medicine for over two years.  The prosecutors were the other physicians of that town, ten in number.  The Commonwealth offered in evidence the records of the State Medical Council which disclosed that no license had ever been issued to this defendant.  The testimony of one of the prosecutors, a physician of Greenville, was also presented, in which the witness said that defendant had told him on several occasions that he was practicing without a license, and that he had failed to pass the examination before the State Medical Board of Examiners.  Considerable discussion was had by the counsel for the respective parties as to the admissibility of documentary evidence and as to what books and papers constitute a record, and in this way the time was mostly taken up, the actual testimony being very meager.  In defense, the records of Prothonotary’s office in Mercer were offered in evidence showing that one Charles Cunningham Campbell was registered, the record also showing that prior to such registration, a license form the Medical Council was exhibited to the Prothonotary.  This was connected with testimony showing that the person so registered was the defendant.  The court in delivering this charge to the jury, instructed them that a verdict of not guilty should be returned on the second and third counts, and only submitted to them for consideration the first count, or the question of having a license.  The jury after remaining out all night returned a verdict of not guilty, and placed one-eleventh of the costs upon the defendant and the balance upon the prosecutors.  The Court remarked to the jury that while he found no fault with the verdict, yet he could easily see how they arrive at the conclusion found by them, and that he presumed they considered the defendant a capable man to practice medicine whether he had a license or not authorizing him to do so.

             A hearing was held before Judge Miller on Friday morning in the surety of the peace case against John Carter.  Edward Buckham Jr. , was the prosecutor, and both parties are proprietors of rival bus lines running between the hotels and the stations.  The prosecutor alleged that on July 28th of this year the defendant backed his bus in such a manner as to collide with the vehicle of the of the prosecutor which was standing at the Bessemer depot, and that since that time he had on different occasions driven his bus against and broken the wheels of the complainant’s hack.  The prosecutor testified that he was in fear of the defendant doing injury to his person and estate and asked that he be bound to keep the peace.  Witnesses were called who related the occurrence.  The defendant testified that he had never on any occasion intentionally driven into Mr. Buckham’s bus nor injured him or his property in any way.  Judge Miller directed that the defendant enter into his own recognizance in the sum of one hundred dollars to keep the peace for one year towards all men, and particularly towards Edward Buckham, Jr., and to pay the costs of this proceeding.  The drivers of the various bus lines were then notified by the Court that there existed too much profanity and loud talk at the stations while waiting for trains, and that there would probably be an assault and battery committed some day, and that in such an event and a conviction by a jury of the offender, he would be committed to jail by this Court.  The Court defined the duties of the hack drivers and recommended that gentlemanly and courteous treatment of each other be adopted, and if this was not done, that he would bind each of them to keep the peace as fast as they came up before him.

MOST BEYOND BELIEF
If It Were NOT for Sharon Indorsement People Might be Skeptical.
No wonder people doubt!
So many statements are made.
Statements indorsed by strangers.
From people living in distant towns.
Don’t know them and can’t see them.
Such indorsement has s hazy aspect.
Sharon people want local proof.
That’s what we have here.
It’s not beyond belief because it can be proven.
Read a local citizen’s testimony.

            Mr. Fred Saul, of 22 Fifth street, says:  “Two dollars spent for the Doan’s Kidney Pills did for me what two hundred dollars spend for other remedies failed to accomplish.  It was impossible for me to stoop to pick up anything from the floor without severe pains in the small of my back…..Learning about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box at Chas. C. Irving’s drug store and took two pills at each meal.  They benefited me very quickly….”
