The storm that passed through this section Monday night, was very severe, but as far as we can learn, no serious damage was done in this immediate vicinity. The large barn of J. G. Laubach, near Coles Creek, was struck by lightning, and entirely destroyed with the contents. On the West Branch, it was much, worse. Four barns with their con tents, were burned near Muncy, and a dairyman named Shmol had his cows pastured in the field over night. In the morning, his best cow was dead, having been killed by lightning. Several houses were struck in Will iamsport, but no serious damage done. There was a large wash out on the North and West Branch Rail Road at Wolverton, the train that should arrive at Catawissa at 6 o'clock a. m., not getting thtre until 9 o'clock. The small streams were all swollen to their utmost capacity. Through the west ern states the storm did great dam age. Coal in Main Township.

Was there when i'h- i-c ws count .-.!. It was announc ed as 47 for Lenihan, and 38 for Cain. Was announced in the room by the clerks. The board told me to stay and keep the frrf. Have not been talking with Jack Goldsworthy about this case." William Goodman. " Propose to prove that he was Judge of election of W North District, and that he met the other four Judges at the house of John Goldsworthy, and that he signed the certificate for Cain by reason of duress, and on account of fear of bodily harm, and subsequently joined two other Judges and made a certifi cate to Lenihan. Same objection as above. " I met the other Judges at John Goldsworthy's to canvass the vote and make the certificate of elec tion. I am 70 ycra of age, and have lived in Conyijharn township 30 years. I received a notice to meet there. First time no one was present. Second time the house was full and they wanted us to go to Dan Curry's. I did not like the appearance of things. There was some scratching on the return from the West District. They suid we muit sign a certificate or we would uol get iUt of the house. I did not want iuy skull broken. There were one hundred men in and outside the room. Cain demanded the certificate. The room was locked and we couid not get out. When we gave the vote they made the threats. They said they wanted a certificate for Cain. I subsequently signed one for Lenihan. It was signed by Burns, Fetterolf and myself." Cross Examined. " I was out of office when I signed the second certi ficate. Had been out eight or ten days. James Kostenbauder was the Judge. Was not persuaded by any one to sign Lenihan's certificate. Was signed in a public house. He was in the house but not in the room when we signed it. Signed it before I signed the one for Cain. Neither Burns or Fetterolf persuaded me to sign it. Mr. Wilhelm asked me to make the affadavit as regards fears &c. Mr. Wilhelm talk ed with me about five minutes. He wrote the affadavit while he was there." Charles Kostenbauder.-" Live at Montana W North election district. Was minority inspector, and was with Goodman at Goldsworthy's that night. We found difficulty in the vote of the West district. We tried to come out of the room and were chased back. They said go back and make a return before you can leave the building. There were one hundred or more peo ple there. No one was threatened. We made several attempts to leave. I was not prepared for a racket and was scared. I heard no names mentioned. There was a certificate made out for Cain. Then the crowd went off cheering. We did not think we could have gone out unless we had made Cain a certificate. Have not talked You can carry the little vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets right in the vest-pocket of your dress suit, and it will not make even a little lumo. The "Pel lets " are so small that 42 to 44 of them go in a vial scarcely more than an inch long, and as big round as a lead pencil. They cure con stipation. One "Pellet" is a laxative ; two a mild cathartic. One taken after dinner will stimu action and palliate over-eatinc. Thev . act witn gentle eiliciency on stom ach, liver and bowels. They don't do the work themselves. They simply stimulate the natural action of the organs themselves. That is where they differ from all other Eills. That is what makes them etter than all other pills. You don't become a slave to their use as with other pills, because their help lasts. Once used, they are always in favor. CAVTIOX.

The vote as announced was Lenihan 47. Cain 38. I am not one of the parties in the contest. Was with the constable when he served the subptcnas." James Thompson "Was at Golds worthy's when the Judges met,, one of them came to the door and said they could not agree. They were sent back, and told they must agree. B. J. Doyle told them they must make a certificate. They tried to leave twice. Doyle was the only one I heard. Cross Examined. " I was in the bar room at the time. I served the certificate on Cain in the bar room. I was not called in to help the Judges. Doyle told them to make a certificate and he would stand the consequences. Said they could not leave until they made it." Mark Meehan. " Was at Golds worthy's this night. Board could not agree. Doyle said go back, By Gad if it takes till morning you have got to make out a certificate. Cross Examined. " Am clerk for the Goldsworthy and Lenihan board. Came there to see Lenihan get his certificate. There was only a few of his friends there. There was nothing sali to m! about the certificate. The first one to ask rr.e to testify was Jack Goldsworthy. Have not been taking an active part in the contest." Michael Gerrity. " Was at Goldsworthys this night. Flynn came out, and said they could not agree. Doyle said go back, and sign it, that he and Pat Cain would stand the result. There were many of Doyle's and Cain's friends there. I am Leni han's friend. Voted for him. We were in the bar room, the Judges in another room. This talk of Doyle's was ad dressed to Flynn." Barret Re called. " I was there before the board. Doyle sent for Cain and Gillespy. He wanted to go into the room. The board went in, disagreed and came out. Flynn said they could not agree. Doyle said go back, you must make it if it takes all night. Flynn came out again and wanted to read a paper, Doyle chas ed him back, and said, make it out, and Cain and I will stand it. Doyle done all the talking." John Pursel "Was at Golds worthy's that night. Doyle and Cain wanted the meeting held at Dan Curry's, but I would not allow it. Flynn came out the room to read a paper, and Doyle said, By Gad go back, and make a certificate for Patsey Cain. Me and Patsey Cain will take care of you." Thomas Docken. " Was at Golds worthy's ; Flynn came out with a paper and said they could not agree, and would meet some other night. Doyle said, By Gad go back. We must have a certificate and me and Patsey Cain would stand results. Flynn came out second time, and Doyle said By Gad we must have a certificate to night. Pat Bradley. "Was at Golds- worthy's that night. Flynn came out and wanted to adjourn. Doyle told him to go back and fill out a certifi cate. Came out again and wanted to read a paper, but Doyle wouldn't let him. Made him go back and sign it." Samuel Riley, " I represent the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Com pany. Received a note from C. G. Murphy to pay him the taxes. He holds the duplicate. Paid him $624.20 on July 22 1895. William Carter. "Represent Le high Valley Coal Co. Received a note from Murphy to pay him the taxes. The amount is between 2 and $3,000. Received a notice from Lenihan that there was an election contest." Martin Meehan Re called " Was Secretary for the last board of directors. Regular time for organiza tion that year was April 8th. Lenihan produced a certificate of election that had been signed by three Judges. We organized and I was appointed clerk Doyle presented a certificate for Cam, and Goldsworthy objected. Golds worthy presented Lenihan's certificate, and Doyle objected. Was not in the room but heard it. Doyle had put me out. Doyle refused to meet with Lenihan and Goldsworthy, and Leni han and Goldsworthy organized. I was appointed clerk. I have all the books, papers excepting the order Dook, which they stole. A complete organization was made that night Goldsworthy was President, and Doyle secretary of the old board. The minute book goes back as far as 1882. Doyle and Cain stole the order book at the audit. There is only one seal I know of. Goldsworthy decided to accept Lenihan's certificate. He knew there was one issued to Cain. I receive $200 per year. The amount paid for a place in which to hold these meetings is $35. per year." John W. Goldsworthy. " I am President of the board. We have had trouble in the management of the Dis trict. The steward would not obey us. When I asked him if he had any business for us to attend to, said he did not recognize Lenihan as a direc tor. I asked to see the requisition for supplies, and he said he had given it to Doyle and Cain. I told him he should keep a copy of all the trans actions. I found there was a cow and two horses missing. Later, another cow disappeared. One was replaced. Heard it was done in trade. Never learned the particulars of the deal. The steward has recognized Doyle and Cain. The horse was sold in Ashland. The steward was elected by both boards. The business of the District is not tied up. Both boards are issuing orders for relief. I filed the bill in equity in the interest of the district. I did not employ any attorney. The board employed Mr. Wilhelm." Complainants rest. Respondents call, Patrick J. Cain. " Live in Ccn tralia. Received a certificate of elec tion fron. James Thorn ;sor, Constable, signed by Patrick Flynn, William Goodman and Patrick Cnllespy. Don t know who wrote it. We organised April 8, 1805. Me, and Barny met at Dan Curry's. Garvin was appointed clerk. Frank Brennan Steward, and C. G. Murphy Treasurer. My oath of office was filed February 26, 1895. Brennan has charge of the Poor House. B. J. Doyle. By the way I am one of the directors. Second Monday of April was the regular time for or ganizing last year. Goldsworthy call ed the meeting to order. Cain pre sented a certificate, and Goldsworthy read one for Lenihan. I looked over his shoulder and there was no name on it. No Judge had signed it. I called in Cain, and he called Lenihan. Cain and 1 went to organizing. I ap pointed him President. Goldsworthy was present. Garvin was appointed clerk, Brennan steward, and Murphy Treasurer. Cain and 1 have been act ing as the board since. The tax du plicate was issued to Murphy. I know all about the cows and horse, one was blind and the other no good. We traded the horse off. The one we got in exchange is the property of the district. We have been managing the property for the benefit of the district. We traded one cow for another. We got the best of the bargain. The other cow was sold by the Steward. Goldsworthy knows more about the chickens than I do. The certificate used here in Court is not the one Goldsworthy had when we met, we organized at Goldsworthy's house first. C. G. Murphy. " Live in Cen- tralia. Am Treasurer of Conyngham and Centralia Poor District. The du plicate was issued to me. Have filed my bond in the sum of $15000. I can't collect any taxes until this bill is disposed of. N. U. Funk. Was appointed Commissioner in this case by the Court and am still taking testimony." John Goldsworthy. " The certi ficate I had that night was signed and all right. Goodman was the last to sign it." It was prepared by Wintersteen and Barkley."
