Now came the time for appointing a foreman for the Grand Jury, and something unusual happened. The honor of this position is generally sought after, but this Jury was corr posed of modest and retiring men who carea notnwg lor glory. William Ooodman was appointed but he desired to be excused on account of his poor hearing. It was offered to Wilson Wanich, P. B. Heddens, and as promptly declined by them and at last the Court appointed Daniel Leni han and said he would take no more excuses. The charge of the Court was in its usual clear and explicit manner, de fining the duties of the Grand Jurors and the method of their procedure. The Couit took occision to congratu late the County upon the small amount of criminal business, and also upon the fact that the crimes charged were nore of them of a serious nature. That notwithstanding ihe fact that crir population is increas'ng, crime is decreasing. This shows that our civilization i. advancing. This state of things the Court thought was due in a great measure to the Schools and Churches as well as to the Courts. That at one session when he was District Attorney, which is many years ago, there were 105 cases on the list. In the neighboring counties their criminal calendar is crowded. At the last sessions in Lycoming County there were 100 cases and in Schuyl kill County there was 100 the first and 85 cases the second week, and three Judges were kept busy trying them. A large portion of the time our jail is empty. Charles Johnson was appointed tip stave to the wrand Jury. In the estate of Rebecca Brcisch the Executor was ordered to pay in ccordancc with the finding of the Auditor. At this juncture of the proceedings Judge Murphy appeared and took his scat on the bench. Edmund Lincbeck was sworn and admitted as a citizen of the United States. The constables were called and made their returns, and all answered excepting the two from Mam and Roanngcreek Townships and they came in Court afterwards. The Court instructed them to take the chairs in the Jury box as he had sev. eral matters to which he desired to call their attention. He said in sub stance as follows. " That complaint had been made that the Supervisors in the different Townships had not been prompt in making repairs to roads. That they had reasonable time in which to make them and that the storm ot a tew weeks since was extraordinary in its severity and a large amount of damage had been done. Also that complaint had come from the citizens of Beaver Township that the license laws were being violated, and that the Constables desired information as to their duty in such cases. Some of the Constables have informed him that they have visited the hotels, &c. regu larly according to law, and in addition to that, have secretly endeavored to detect violations of the law. The law does not require you to do this. Does not require you to act as a spy and go around in disguise to ferret out vio lations of the law. You must not do anything that detracts from the dignity or honor of your ofiice. If a citizen informs you of a violation of the law, and gives you the Dames of witnesses it is your duty to report it to Court. Jiut you are not to do this on mere hearsay evidence. You must have the names of the witnesses. At the last Session of the Legislature a law was passed defining disorderly conduct and fixing penalties for such offense, Complaints have been made that dancing platforms near highways are a nuisance and that you desire instruc tions as to that subject. Unless the congregating and meeting of people at a public place near a highway works an annoyance to the public I do not consider it light for you to interfere You could attend dances arc. and prevent a breach of the peace and that without a warrant. You must see the crime committed however, otherwise you must have a warrant. Any citizen has a right to lodge an information, so can you, but you are not obliged to do it. There is also another matter to which I desire to call your attention. The Act of As sembly ot teby. 14th 1889 relating to the election of Constables was revised by Act passed June 26. 1805. It virtually legislates you all out of office, It has been questioned whether they had the power to deprive you of your ofhee. Ihere is a diversity ofopin ion on it. In our opinion the Legis lature created the office and has a right to revise it. We hold that there must be an election next February. Your term will end at tne expiration of your service for o".e year. The reason for the passage of this Act of Assembly was to settle the uncertainty and ambiguity which existed under the former Act. After the Act of 1889 was passed the election came on the 20 of rebruary. Some held that the election should be held then and others held that it did not take effect until 1890. Under the Act of 1889 no provisions were made for vacancies, nor as to how long those appointed should serve. The Act of 184? pro vided they should hold office until the next election. We have given the case careful consideration and believe that the Act is constitutional. It has no effect however upon the constable of the Town of Bloomsburg."
