LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE K WEDNESDAY APRIL 12, 1882. V bcboel committee te have the disturbance stepped?" "Ne, be made complaint te me as an alderman, and uet as a cbairmau of the committee, lie said he wanted te make an example of the boys bj having them arrested." . Mr. Greider examined the aldermau at some length as te certain discrepencies between bis bills of costs and his docket, the docket showing that the costs had been paid by the parties te the suit, and the bills showing that the county had been chained with the costs. The alderman was also asked hew he came te entertain two complaints one of which was made by Christian Bern and the ether by his wife charging a certain dealer with selling diseased poultry ? The aldcimau replied that he didn't knew hew it liappencdjUuleES Bern and his wife were living apart, as they sometimes did when they quarreled. Mr. Greider, however, called the alderman's attention te the fact that his own record showed Mr. Bern te be a witnetB for his wife, and Mrc Bern a witness for her husband ! The alderman could nut explain hew this happened. Ninety 1'er Cent of DWmlsied Cases. Mr. Heed, after questioning the alder man at home length as te his own duties and the duties of constables, asked him if it was his custom te cuteilaiu complaints made by anybody and eveiybedy, whether they could make out their cases or net. The alderman answered that he could net tell whether a complainant had a case or net until he beard the testimony. " De you knew," said Mr. Heed, ' that mere than 90 per cent, of all the cases licaid before Lancaster aldermen and Columbia justices' aie dismissed, with county for costs ?" The alderman answeied that he did net knew what the percentage was. " Aic theie net in this city a let of pro fessional complainants who institute suits for the express purpose of making fees ?" asked Mr. Heed. " I de uet knew that theie i," an swered the alderman. " When a constable or policeman is complainant, could you net give the ac cused a bcariug at once,, instead of com mittiug him or holding him in bail for a subsequent hearing?" " Ne ; it would net always be possible te biive the neccssaiy witness piesent without notice." "But when the constable is complain ant, upon what de lie base his complaint if he i uelacqu. -J with the facts'.'" ' He makes the e... plaint upon infor mation fuiulsbed,' icplicd the alderman. "If he knows nothing about the case, why don't he attend te bis own business and let. these who de knew something about it male e the complaint." Ne answer. " Of the huge mi :" r of cases heard by you dining the pat." .ir, bow many did you letum te com I . " I don't knew without examining my docket." " Loek at your docket, and se?," said Mr. Heed. The uldeiinr.il looked at his docket, turned ever page upon page, and alter be had gene through the book said he thought tbcic were twenty seven cases returned. ' Have you returned a single case since the 1st el January ? ' I don't knew without looking. "De you ever charge county for costs in surety of the peace cases ?" " Ne, never." hcien C.ieex Out of One. " Why did you make seven cases out of the Aumeiit assault and battery affair ?" " Because there wc:e that number of complaints against the defendants." " We'll see about that" said Mr. Reed, and lie callcu Jehn B. Aumcut. Mr. Ailment testified that he had made complaint before Aldeiman Samson against several boys for assaulting his seu ; his object was te scare them, se that they would let bis boy alone. There was but one bearing of tbe case, and the only v. it ncsscs piesent were himself, Mrs. Anne Heed and his seu Heward Aliment. Mis. Aumcut. witness' wile, has been dead sevcial yeais. Thcie weie no witnesses present at the healing except the c above named. In each of the seven cases made out of tbe above complaint, all of which were dismissed "county for costs'," Mrs. Aumcut appears as a witness, notwith standing she died several years age, and the initials of tbe ether witnesses are changed se as te make it appear theie were several of them. Iter. 'Yeu allowed the constables their fees for these i-evcn cases, although they were all heaid at once?" :-aid Mr. Heed. "es, sir," Said the aldcimau, "they weie entitled te their fees." " Why de you have se many witnesses subpoenaed in cases which you knew be be feicbaud will be dismissed?" 'I don't knew they will be dismissed until I bear them." " Did you issue subpeenas in each and every case named in your bills, or did you only ifcsue one subpeuna for all ihe com plaints made out of a single transaction?" " I issued" separate tubpejuas for each ease," icplicd the alderman. " Then I want you te bring your sub paiiias and wan ants hcie at 9 J o'clock to te to menow morning," said Mr. Heed. And then the beaid adjourned. TO-UAY's I.VVEillGATION. 'flie Sight bciioel Case. Jehn P.Warfel, sworn Thea'dermai.'a and constables' bills in the night school cases shown. Mr. Reed said: "We find heicyen weie piosecuter in the cases of Jehn Keller Benjamin Null tt al en December, 1SS0. Hew is this?" Answer. ' Miss ilautuh complained te me that the boys disturbed her school ; I was president of tlu beard ; Samson was cbaiimnn of night school committee. I made no complaint befere him as an alder man. 1 was net a witness in any of the cases. Was never subpeenaed and was net present." Aldcimau Samson cxplaiued that Vi fel's name was put en the sub poena without his knowledge. Mr. Heed asked Alderman Samson hew long it teak the county solicitor te exam ine his bills befoie approval. lie auswered that he could net tell peihaps about ten minutes. In answer te a question as te why com plaints were made by eue efiicer, the wai raut was issued te another officer, the aldcimau answeied that it was the prac tice of ether aldermen. He had consulted Alderman Wiley, who let him h ivj eae of hisdecketsasaguide, and al-j a copy of Purdeu's digest. Twenty-four Warrant for Matble riayers. Mr. Greider called the alderman's at at tentien te the fact that Constables Flick, Lentz and Adams each had eight separate warrants in the complaints made by P. J. Stermfeltz against a party of boys fcr playing marbles in his yard. In answer te a' question tbe alderman said he did net always issue the warrant immediately alter the complaint is mace. Sometimes the officer making the com plaint lcquests some ether officer te seive it. ' A Clerical Errer." Mr. Gi eider said te Alderman Samson : "I think you said yesterday you never charged fees for suicty or desertion cases." The alderman answered that he never charged them in his bills. Mr. Gi eider showed him his bill for May, 1881. in which he charged fees in the do de do sertieu case of Emma vs. Samuel Clark ; the aldeiman answered that it was an over sight in putting the charge in tlie bill. Mr. TVarrel'a Exceptional Case. " Hew long did it take the county com missioners te examine your biils after they had been approved by the solicitor ? ' "Sometimes net long; sometimes an hour or mere." " De you always make complainants swear or affirm te their complaints ?', ''Yes ; the complainants generally affirm, very few of them swear. The only cases in which the complainants did net qualify were these of Mr. Warfel against the boys who disturbed the schools." "I see here you have ten witnesses called in the assault and battery case of Lebzel ter against Hardy, Trost and Hambright. Were they all needed ?" i os, I thought se ; some of the defend ants could net be identified by Lebzelter. A Custom " That Would be Honored In the Breach. "I see that in March, 1881, Mr. Storm, feltz made complaints against 21 boys for malicious mischief, and all of them were discharged. Did you make out a separate complaint in each case : "Yes, sir." "Would net one warrant have dene as well V" " Well, it is the custom te make tbem out separately." "And that is for the nuipese et increas ing the fees," said Mr. Heed. Big Figures. "During 1881," said Mr. Greider, " you heard 436 cases, of which 27 were returned te court. The constables cases add up 439, of which 895 were discharged. The constables costs in these cases were 9818.47. The costs in the dismissed cases 9733.27. The alderman's fees in tbe 436 cases were $1,204.03." When men are arrested for diuukeu ness and brought befere you, are they net sometimes druuk ?" " Yes sir." " Then why de you discharge them ?" "I de net always ; if they have been disorderly I send them te prison." Mr. Heed asked Squire Wiley who was present, whether It was net proper te name in all complaints the ofleuse with which a person is accused. Squire Wiley answeied that the com plaint must contain the name of the com plainant, the name of the accused and the nature of the offense charged. Mr. Reed examined the Stermfeltz complaints and found that thcre was no offense charged in sixteen of the twenty four cases made by him. He then asked Alderman Samson if he always named the complaint and the warrant issued by him. (Gradually Learning his Duty. The alderman answered that he had net always done se, but he did se new. He knew it was his duty te de se. Alderman bamsen was them ordered te bring before the auditors all the complaints made befere him iu the Aument and Stermfeltz cases, and te have them here by 9:30 te-morrow morning.

THE OFFICIAL BEPOBTS INACCURATE. Speaker Kclfer's Mew Stenographer Un equal te Bis Task Asking the Old Reporter te Resume Werk. Washington, April 12. Mr. Shipherd was promptly en hand at the rooms of the foreign affairs committee this merninir. and at ence busied himself examining the official reports which had just been receiv ed from the public printer. A quorum of the committee was in attendance at 10:45, and Mr. Belmont was about te resume the cress examination when Mr. ShrpuCrd beg ged tbe indulgence of the committee for the purpose of calling attention te the official reports of the proceedings. He said : "I have been examining this morn ing tbe hundred pages or mere of the printed evidence as prepared from the notes of thcefficial reporter and I find many ommissiens and many glaring in accuracies. I must pretest against the inconsistencies and gross absurdities which I notice in this printed evidence which has just been received from the public printer, I find mero than twenty mistakes en a single page.'' Mr. Sbipbeid then read a question at tributed te Representative Blount, and remarked : " I dea't think Mr. Bleui t would care te father that." The committee laughed ani Represen tatives ruce.lielment and ethers expressed their dissatisfaction at the official reports, pnd thought some means should be adopt ed te sccure ceriect reports of the pro ceedings before the committee. Mr. bhipherd stated that upon careful examination each day he found the New Yerk associate press reports were as nearly accurate as could be desired. As it was a matter of seme importance, inasmuch as the evidence would be submitted te the Heuse and the country that the investiga tien should be reported correctly, he would suggest the propriety of levising the offi cial reports, using the New Yerk associate press reports as the basis. The official reporter (who was recently appointed by the speaker te supersede Henry Y. Hayes), desired te make a state ment, and explained that he was out of practice en assuming tbe duties of official lcpeiter, and had engaged an assistant who would relieve him during the morning. The chairman inquired if the gentleman he had engaged was an official reporter, and upon receiving a uegative reply, turn ed te Mr. Hayes, who was present te re port the proceedings for the associated press, and lequestcd him te make tbe offi cial repei t. Mr. Hayes declined for the reason that he was net under oath, and was, mere ever, engaged ler the associated press. After some further discussion the exami nation was adjourned till 10:30 a. m., to morrow. lUK PEACFI CROP. o'erieu&Iy Damaged by the Unseasonable Weather. WiljTi.noten, Del, "April 12. The Every .
