In 1843 the county seat of Wayne County, Pa., was changed from Bethany to llonus dale. The Court IIouss that was con structed then did duly ns such upttl 1377. Under the laws of Pennsylvania no now county buildings can be constructed un til three successive Urand Juries have recommended tho work. Then the County Court can order the County Commissioners to build. Threo Grand Juries declared that the Wayne County Court House was inadequate to the wants of the county. In 1870 Judgu Waller and his associates ordered the Commis sioners to build a new edifice. The move was opposed In nil paits qf the county. A niirberof politicians In Hie county organized an nntl-Court House party. Lawyers wcro hired to take legal measures to stop the wotk on the Court House. Bonds to tho amount of $100,000 were put forth by the Com missioners ; but the anti-Court House party captured tho Associate Judges of tho county, and they refused to approve the bonds. The Commissi jners, how ever, kept on wth the work, borrowing motley nt the hanks. In 1877 the anti Court Uoeso party nominated nn entire county ticket in opposition to the regu lar Demuciatic and Republican tickets, and beat the combined vqto of the regu lar tickets by 2,'JOO votes, and then the County Commissioners, whose term of office did not expire until 1379, were harassed by all sorts of legal proceed ings. An act of the Board that Intensified the popular feeling against thn Court House movement, was tlo demolishing of the old Court House. The feeling throughout the county became so bit ter that tha county ollicarJ were threat ened with personal violence. Fanners refused to trade will) business men, and drove through t he town and ten miles further on to IIawey. Judge Waller, the presiding Judge of the district, uni formly decided all questions of law in the Court House case adversely to the opponents of the movement. Th anti- Court House leaders petitioned t lie Legislature to Impeach the Judge, but the Legislative Committee examined In to the caso and dismissed the charges as frivolous. The work on the Court House pro gressed until the winter of 1878. The death of Thomas Brown had a disheart ening effect on his imrvlvors in the Board. An nutl-Court House man was appointed in Ids place. The Court House was about half doue when work oeasud for the season iu 1878. It had oust $00,000. The people declared that they would resist with lotce the efforts of the tax collectors to raise money for tho Court House. The couuty auditors refused to allow moit of the bills con tracted by the Commissioners for the work, and instituted suit against the. County Treasurer and the Commission ers to recover moneys expended for the work. This being the situation, and It being hoped that politics! capital might be made by thu cause, the attorney of the Commissioners, who wasaostiilldate lor Congress, a It bed them to announce that limy could nut go on wlththework until times weru better. Last fall the antl Court House party eluciud a new Board of Commissioner!, two members of Assembly, a fatate Senator, and all tho county officers but one, and now thu affairs uf llju couuty nro all la their bauds. After the old Court IIousq was de slroyed Liberty Hall, tho public hall of the place, was Idled for a court room. This the new Board of Commissioners considered too expensive. They rented a hail iu a German hotel, in an out-of-the-way part of the village, the rent to be $100 a year. They ordered the fur niture to be moved from Liberty Hall to the new room ou Thursday last. A load or so of furniture was taken out, but Judge Waller ordered the janitor to close the hall and permit nn further re moval of the furniture. "I will hold court where 1 please!" ho exclaimed ; "audi Intend to hold it iu Liberty Hall." The Commissioners say that unless the rourts are hild In thu room they have rented lley will not pay any of the court expanses.
