FRIDAY, MARCH IS, 1895.
The following are some of the bills
that have passed the House finally :
To expedite the hearing in Supreme
Court of all appeals from final decree
in equity.
To provide for the payment of elec
tric light bills for light furnished public
buildings.
Providing that County Commission
ers shall advertise for proposals before
letting contracts.
Declaring it a misdemeanor to tres
pass on inclosed land of a water com
pany. Appropriating $69,400 for the com
pletion of the Soldiers Orphans'
School at Scotland, Franklin County.
Appropriating $45,000 to the Hunt
ingdon Reformatory.
For the establishment of free public
libraries in the school districts except
in cities of the first class.
The act authorizing traction or
motor power companies to lease or
buy each other's lines and operate
them passed second reading.
TJnoiled Machinery!
It seems the oil combine can
neither grease nor swallow Hastings,
The case must be sad when they say
of him in convention assembled : ''If
the people only knew what indignities
they will have to suffer thcie would
be no Governor in Pennsylvania, and
Hastings would be fleeing for his life."
As we understand it the Governor's
offense was in signing the Marshall
Pipe Line bill which duly passed the
Legislature, and which no doubt will
tend to level up the oil business some
what.
Amid cheers and applause Mr,
Wilker read the riot act to Senator
Andrews of Crawford County for the
part he took in the passage of the bill,
as well as against everyone who voted
for it. Several other speeches in like
vein were made. But up to the pre
sent the Governor is not yet assassinat
ed by the oil combine.
SITTSEK DUN HAM CONTEST.
The Wyoming Democrat of last
week, contains the following " con
cerning the contest in the Wyoming
Sullivan judicial district :
Tames W. Piatt, Esq., of Counsel
for the contestants in the Sittser- Dun
ham contest, returned here from La-
porte on Wednesday evening, having
been obliged to come home on account
of a severe cold, and leaving Mr.
Dersheimer, who with J. G. Scouten,
Esq., of Dushore, are conducting the
contest there on the part of Judge
Sittser. Motions have been filed by
the attorneys for Judge Sittser asking
the court to direct the respondents to
file more specific specifications in that
those filed do not charge specifically
who were bribed, i. e. where one is
charged with bribery they do not show
who that one bribed. In other words
there must be two parties to the
bribery and the specifications should
show both parties to the contract.
Another motion was filed asking leave
to file additional specifications on the
part of the contestants showing bribery
on the part of th friends of Judge
Dunham. Both of these motions were
held under advisement by the court
and the work of taking testimony com
menced. Two stenographers are in
attendance and the work of examining
witnesses progresses rapidly. The
records have been first put in evidence
showing that in many districts there,
noticably the Lopez district, many
unregistered citizens voted without
making any affidavit, while many
made were defective. The ballots
themselves were not opened and
counted so that it is impassible to tell
now tnese people voted, but from the
best obtainable information it is known
that a large majority of them voted
for Dunham and that Sittser will gain
enough in Sullivan alone to change
the result. In addition to this testi
mony a number of witnesses have
been examined in regard to their pay
ment of taxes, residence, etc., and a
number of these voted without the
proper qualifications. Commissioners
Little and Bard well were notified on
Wednesday to file the ballots, voting
lists, registry books, etc., in court
forthwith, and they went over with
them yesterday. It is expected that
the work of taking testimony on the
part of the contestants so far as
Sullivan county is concerned will be
finished this week and that a commis
sion will be appointed to commence
the examination of witnesses hera by
Tuesday of next week. The contest
court is hurrying the matter along with
all possible speed and It is believed
that the testimony ,will be all in on
both sidesbythe closeJof the month.
God's Providenc3 Makes Us Secure.
The principal trouble with railroads
in the future will be to successfully
compete with electric cars and the
bicycle for passenger traffic. As for
monopolizing freight and express car
riage, they will have to spend money
and look sharp to retain it as securely
in the future as they have in the past.
There is a leveling as well as a heap
ing process going on continually in
od s providence, and wise it is in
deed, that such is the case. For,
though money car. control the legisla
tion and legislators it cannot control
elements of God thus given us in the
fulness of time to thwart the best laid
plans of the grasping few who would
if they could monopolize the earth
and the fulness thereof. In the ful
ness of time we shall have the flying
machine. Then railroad stock can
be bought cheap.
Worth, the celebrated man milliner,
of Paris, is dead. He started in as a
printer, but wisely concluded after a
seven-months' apprenticeship that
there was more lucre to be found in
fashionable dress making, even though
the ladies seemed to have cornered
the business. While Worth himself
is not a beauty he never having
created the furore in society that Oscar
Wilde has been able to stir up his
dresses were beauties, indeed ; and
hence his popularity with the fair sex
who have rich fathers and not much
else to do but to make the hang of a
dress a deep study. But Worth is
dead and if his duplicate is alive
society belles will be apt to find him
soon to fill the void created by the
departure of Worth, the man mantua
maker. West Philadelphia is now terrorized
more or less with a "Jack the Chaser."
The papers say of him: "A well
dressed, impudent and exceedingly
wily stranger has for a week been fol
lowing and insulting unprotected t
wives, daughters and sisters in that
section of the city. Not one of the
women's husbands or brothers can
catch sight of the fellow, who appears
to have a perfect knowledge of the
whereabouts of policemen so that
they never get their eyes on him.
Men have stationed themselves on
the street to catch him, but up to
date he has not been deceived by any
decoy female thus guarded. While
such traps have thus been sec for him
he has been heard from two squares
away following and using offensive
language to lone females."
Secretary Gresham, who for some
days past has been confined to his
rooms by stomach complaint, is now
much better. He is still under the
care of his physicians however, who
have given imperative orders that no
cards shall be sent to his rooms.
