WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1882.
Wolfe's Weakness.
The Republicansef Pennsylvania have
their ticket given te them te-day at Har
risburg, and, thanks te the convenient
practice which surrenders the naming of
it te the man who holds the United
States patronage in his hand, we knew
in advance what it is te be. We are told
that since Senater Cameren has met the
delegates at Harrisburg he has surren
dered a part of his purpose and consents
that Mr. Wolfe shall net go en the ticket;
liecause he Gnds that his followers will
have nene of him. Cameren thought it
lelitic te nominate Wolfe, and no doubt
it would have been. It was se mani
festly te his advantage and te Wolfe's
disadvantage that it. has seemed quite
incredible that he could have induced
the latter te walk into the trap.
Concurrent reports, however, are all
te the effect that Wolfe was willing
te take the lieutenant governorship, and
was even anxious for the place. If se,
he is a much smaller man than he lias
been esteemed. He occupied a strong
position in an independent movement
which he loses and becomes as nothing
by going into the Cameren camp. He
would have surrendered his leadership
for the honorable but comparatively in
conspicuous and unimportant lieutenant
governorship. Surely he would have
sold out cheap ; but new that he does net
gain the bauble that he reached for, he
takes nothing by his desertion of the In
dependent cause. He sits down between
two steels. His old followers refuse te
fellow him and his new 'friends decline
te receive him. If it be really true, as
all accounts say, that Wolfe has been
thus coquetting with Cameren, he can
not again command the confidence of
the Independents. They have no use
for men of his mould. II is whole stock
in trade has been the public admiration
for his intrepidity and boldness, and the
faith in his honesty and inllexible ad
herence te his convictions. A man who
starts out with a denunciation of ma
chine politics and makes that the foun
dation of his opposition te regular Repub
lican nominations, and who in one year
afterwards is seen seeking such nomina
tion at the hands of the machine leaders,
certainly ceases at once te pose :is an
apostle of Reform and the arch-enemy
of political rings.
Ne wonder that Senater Cameren was
anxious te buy Wolfe with an innocent
office. It would have been se clear a
demonstration te the people of the hol hel hol
lewncss of the professions in favor of
pure and democratic politics en the part
of the Independent Republicans who
have been shrieking se wildly and se
long against the Cameren machine. He
would have shown that they shrieked
only because they were out and wanted
te get in. " Here," Cameren says ; " see
this man Wolfe, the very boldest and
loudest and most uncompromising of the
howlers against the machine ; -the man
whose pure political soul se revolted
against ring rule that he raised his ban
ner of reform a year age against the
regular Republican candidate, against
whom he made no objection but that 1
had named him. See this patriot new
accepting a nomination te ellicc at my
hands and deserting his friends te be
my follower. See the material of which
you Independents and you Reformer. are
made. As I have bought this, the
chicfest of them, se can I buy anyone
else in the crowd."
Doubtless in se saying he would de in
justice te many reform Republicans who
are honest, sincere and unpurchasablc ;
'but who can tell surely who such men
are when this man Wolfe, se fully
trusted, has se easily been seduced? The
tendency of Wolfe's desertion will be te
make the people suspicious of the
prophets of reform, te cause them te
distrust their professions, and generally
te disgust them with the cause. In this
view it was wise in Cameren te want
Wolfe en the ticket and stupid in his
followers te object te the dose ; especially
when they could se easily have slain him
by failing te vote for him, after nomi
nating him ; as most likely was the pur
pose of Cameren in putting him en the
ticket.
It is hard te believe that Wolfe has
been se silly as te get himself into the
position assigned him by public report ;
and difficult te see hew he is going te
restore his milled feathers as a reform
leader after having had his coat cut se
sadly in the Cameren camp. It leeks as
though he would have te go out of politi
cal business altogether ; and this much
of value has come te Cameren in his
dicker,that he has disarmed a most pesti
lent fellow.
The Logic or the Law.
Mr. Reed argued before the supreme
court that Guiteau could net be held for
the murder of Garfield because his vic
tim had net died in the county in which
he was wounded, and se was net under
the common law indictable in either, be
cause no complete act of felony was done
in either jurisdiction. Congress has
passed no law te amend this defect in the
common law. Mr. Reed cited many and
eminent authorities from Coke and
Blackstonedewn te maintain hisdeclara
tien that the common law was as he
stated it. The chief justice seemed quite
incredulous notwithstanding, insisting
that the act of felony wascemplete when
the prisoner had given the mortal
blew. That would be the sensible
conclusion, no doubt ; but, as Mr.
Reed sharply suggested, the law was
net always sensible and the judges
were beuud te take it as it was,
net as it should be. The truth is that
the law concerning murder is a very
senseless one ; it does net punish the
man for bis act but for its consequences.
The man who sheets another with in
tent te kill him but does net, is just as
guilty as the one whose intended victim
dies. The death does net really add te
the guilt of the ollense and should net
add te its punishment. Yet in the one
case the man escapes with a fine perhaps,
while the ether man is hung.
The chief justice asked Mr. Reed what
part of the offense remained te be com
pleted after the man had get through
with doing all that he could te kill
another be doing te him that which
inevitably would kill him ? ' Whether
there is anything in the fever, or in the
short breath, or in the last strangulation,
that enters into the aggression en his life?
Obviously the criminal had done all he
could de te complete his offense. Yet it
was net murder until GarGeld died. Se
the offense wasnet completed until then ;
and Mr. Reed seemed te have all the
weight of authority en his side in main
taining that the criminal could net be in
dicted under the common law. Sense
less as such a conclusion seems, it is a
logical consequence of the fact that a
man cannot be punished for murder until
his victim dies.
Gknkkal Bkaver is a respectable
candidate for governor, but it is true, as
the Delaware county Quaker says, that
he is excellent at premising but very
peer at performing ; he is exactly the
kind of man who i3 net wanted in an
important executive office. There we
want ierfermance and can de without
premises that bear no fruit. As
General Reaver has failed in his
charge of the agricultural college he
does net recommend him.st-lf te the
greater chargcef ihestate. He comes be
fore the people with a bad sponsor in
Senater Cameren, who also has lately
developed an extraordinary talent for
premising what he does net mean te per
form ;and the safe conclusion of every
citizen who does net care te be fooled
by fair words, is that a man who takes
that sort of liberty habitually with
his tongue, had better be left te exercise
it in private station ; where he can't
hurt anybody very much.

CAMERON'S SLATE.
WOLFK VHUWliEU OFF THE TICKET.
Heaver, Uavies, Bawle, ureer and Butler the
Candidates A btampede Against Wolfe
Which Cameren Cuuld net Check.
McUlure's Harrisburg Special,
Senater Cameren arrived here hist night,
took command in person, called a council
of war, and at neon te-day the following
ticket had been definitely decided upon :
Beaver for governor, Welfe for lieutenant
governor, Rawle for supreme judge, Greer
for secretary of internal affairs and Davies
for cengressman-at-Iarge. The decisieu
of Cameren and his associate leaders was
declared te be final, and prompt measures
were taken te enforce submission. Davies
had been compelled te consent te
his transfer from the second place
en the ticket te the tail end, in order te
give a position te Wolfe that Cameren re
garded as necessary te play Welfe for all
he is worth. He believed that .Wolfe
would be strong with the Independents
for au effice that would make him a mem
ber of the beard of pardons, and for that
reason he forced Davies te a reluctant as
sent te be changed te ceiigrcssman-at-large.
Cameren has been used te sudden
howls from his followers, and he was pro pre
pared for a grand .serenade of howlers
when he flung Welfe at them and eulered
him te be taken straight. But for once
the kickers among the legulars eutkicked
anything ever exhibited by the kicking
Independents, and Cameren, Beaver and
Quay were cutcrtaiued all the afternoon
and early part of the evening with indig
nant kickers from his own eamp. swearing
that they would net take Wolfe sugar in
thcir'n.
Cameren Gives In.
Cameren steed resolutely te his Welfe
pregramme till 8 o'clock in the evening,
when he discovered that his own followers
had gradually gravitated te the point of
holding a unanimous mass meeting of
kickers against the kicker Wolfe, and
Davies was finally forced by the irresisti
ble tide te reinstate himself as a candidate
for lieutenant governor and notify Cam Cam
eeon and Beaver that he would be a can
didate for that iositien and for no ether.
That was the feather that broke the
Wolfe camel's back, and Cameren, Beaver
and Quay decided that they must call a
halt and retract from Welfe or have the
convention te-morrow set up for itself.
It became plain te all that Welfe would
be defeated in convention regardless of
orders or combinations, and Cameren,
Beaver and Quay surrendered uncondi
tionally. General Beaver had net been
responsible for slating Wolfe for lieutenant
governor, but he and his immediate frieuds
and personal advisers, Messrs. Millikcn
and Hastings, had assented te the Wolfe
pregramme as a supposed necessity.
When the tempest canto and the floods
rose, threatening te turn the convention
into a go as-yeu-please circus, Beaver and
his friends took the alarm early and
pressed a prompt reconsideration of the
Welfe part of the slate. A conference was
held at Quay's headquarters, in which
Cameren, Beaver, Quay, Rutau and a few
ethers participated, and Wolfe wasuuecre
nionieusly tossed overboard as the Jenah
of the ship.
The Final Slale.
With Welfe thrown out te quiet the
raging tempest among the howling regu
lars, the formation of a new slate was a
short hoise te curry. Davies was restored
te his position for lieutcuaut governor
and Farmer Butler for congressman-at-
large. The ticket was thus made as fel
lews: Beaver for governor, Davies for
lieutenant governor, Rawle for supreme
judge, Greer for secretary of internal
affairs, and Butler for ceugressmau-at-
Iarge. Iho new slate was speedily an
nounced te the throng in the Lochiel house
and it was accepted with general delight,
as a happy deliverauce from Wolfe. Hun
dreds of intelligent meu,assuming te repre
sent intelligent constituencies accepted the
slate without a question and rejoiced that
they were allowed te escape the Welfe dose.
E von the Rawle kickers were generally glad
te swallow Rawle because they were ex
cused from swallowing Wolfe. McMaucs
will persist in his opposition and the Hey t
delegates from Luzcrne will stand by him,
but the sense of relief felt at Cameren's
permission te drop Welfe out of the fight
was se great that Rawle will be nominat
ed without serious struggle. The Alleg
heny men, led by gallant old Tem Mar
shall, the uncle of Brown, will make a
dress parade for Brown, and Marshall
will lead them in dead earnest ; but the
bulk of the Brown delegates from the
west understand that Brown is deemed,
and the new slate, with the Welfe bitter
coating displaced for the Butler sugar sugar
ceatiug, will go through with a yell.
Tlin Werk of the Convention Dene.
The work of the convention is new
practically dene and it will te-morrow go
through the motion of nominating a ticket
with all the affectation and assumed
dignity of a delegated body charged with
the duty of selecting party candidates.
The president will make the regulation
speech, beseeching wisdom and harmony
in the deliberations. Millikcn aud the
oilier gentlemen assigned te present can
didates will eloquently delinoate the
virtues and qualities el the slated nom
inees and appeal te the consul
ate judgment of the delegates just
the same as if there was te be
some deliberation or judgment exer
cised in the matter. The gentlemen designa
ted by Cameren will be nominated with as
much .solemnity as if they had net been
handed in for the form of approval. The
opera house will resound from parquet te
dome with shed's of the convention ever
its own bidden work. A reform platform
will be adopted amidst the wildest enthusi
asm, declaring that there shall he no ma
chine dictation et Republican tickets, and
General Beaver will congratulate the con
vention, with Cameren's distinct approval;
upjn its independent action, and pledge
himself te be sublimely independent in his
administration.
Tliose who don't care te waste time
reading dry details will leso nothing by
reading the foregoing outline of te-morrow's
work aud dismissing Iho proceedings
el the convention tnat will no reported in
Thursday morning's journals. The con
ventien is ever, all but the ornamental
forms necessary te be observed en such oc
casions, and Cameren, with all his way-
waid wandering after strange gods for
most el tue day, lias finally made the
strongest Cameren ticket that could have
been put together.
An Old Lady's Suicide.
Mrs. Ann Cele, GO years of age, residing
at Llewellyn, Pa., was missed from her
home, but the darkness of the night pre
vented a scarcn outside et the immediate
neighborhood. At an early hour in the
morning search was commenced and
about ene hundred yards from her own
deer and near au old abandoned well one
of her slippers was fettud. One of the
searching party was lowered te the bot
tom of the well, wheie the old lady's dead
body was found, and, from appearances,
it must have been there all night. Mrs.
Cele was in ill health and of a melancholy
turn of mind. She was a widow and the
mother of a large family. She is supposed
te have committed suicide.

KILLED WBUVK BLEEPING.
Wife Murder mad Suicide la a Bearding
Heuse.
Francis B. Ames and his wife, Mary L.
Ames, were found dead last night in the
front parlor en the first fleer of the fash fash fash
iouable beat ding house Ne. 307 West
Fourteenth street, N. Y., kept by Mrs. E.
T. Haight. A brief examination which was
made by the pelice satisfied them that
during the previous night Ames had
murdered his wife and afterwards com
mitted suicide. On the fleer beside the
corpse of Ames was found a revolver with
two chambers empty. A bullet wound was
discovered behind Mrs. Ames' right ear and
theie was a similar wound at exactly the
same place in her husband's head. Mrs.
Ames was forty-eight years old, aud her
husband was three years her senior. They
were both natives of Banger, Me. Ames
from his youth followed the sea, and at the
time of his death was the commander of
the ship Llewellyn J. Merse, in which he
possessed a quarter interest. He had been
ailing for a number of years aud his sick
ness produced at times fits of temporary
iusanity, and it is supposed that while
under one of theso spells he murdered his
wife and then killed himself.
On Wednesday, two weeks age, Ames
and his wife went te live in Fourteenth
street, and the ether boarders at the din
iug table frequently remarked that they
were a happy andau unusually jelly couple.
Although Ames was complaining he regu
larly visited the offices of Benham, Picker
ing &Ce., the ship brokers at Ne. S4
Bread street. On Monday afternoon both
Ames and his wife appeared te bt in the
best of spirits, and at G p. m they dined
together. At nine o'clock Ames summon
ed Fredric Francis, the colored waiter, te
his apartment, and complaining of the
cold ordered him te light the fire. A few
minutes later he called again and asked
for scme lemonade, which was furnished
him. While Francis was in the parlor
Ames paced te and fro across the fleer,
while his wife remained seated ou a chair,
apparently interested in a book which she
was reading. That was the last seen of
the couple alive. They did net appear at
breakfast nor dinner yesterday, but that
was net considered unusual, aud net the
slightest pains were taken by theso in the
bearding house te ascertain the cause of
their absouce, excepting that sumo time
during the day oue of the colored porters
rapped at the deer but received no re
sponse While the remainder of the guests were
at supper last evening Mr. Llewellyn
Merse, Capt. Ames' brother-in-law, who
but a few hours bofero had returned te
this city from his home at Banger, Me.,
called at the house and made seme in
quiries concerning his . sister and her hus
band. Upen being told that they had net
been seen since niite o'clock ou Monday
night, he bocame alarmed and requested
permission te ferce open the deer, as the
key was en the iuside. The request was
grautcd by the proprietress, aud when the
deer was broken in the discovery was
made that the aged pair had died violent
deaths.
Ames' corpse was found in a peel of
bleed en the fleer, with his head te the
deer. He was partly dressed, aud beside
the corpse, ou the right hand side, was
the latal revolver. On the bed lay the
ledy of Mrs. Ames, with her face toward
the street window. There was a peaceful
and natural expression ou her faoe
aud it was clear that she received
the wound that resulted in her
instant death while asleep. Ames
looked calm aud his face was in no way
contorted. Frem the wound behind his
wife's right car bleed had bubbled and
slightly besmeared the sheeting. The
room was in geed order, and there was
net the slightest indication of a struggle.
Ne note was found that would in any way
explain the motive for the double crime.
The cause was known only te the man and
wife, aud their lips were sealcd by death.
The pelice were informed of the tragedy,
and Corener Knox made au investigation
after which he issued a permit for the re
moval of the bodies te an undertaker's.
A MOTHER'S CKIMK.
Cra.ed by Jealousy, She Attempts te Mur
der Her Four Children.
A minder most shocking and unnatural
the attempt of a mother te destroy the
lives of lier four children aud herself oc
curred about daylight in the tenement
house, Ne. 5 Warrenteu Place, off War War
rcnteu street, Bosten. The murderess was
Mrs. Mary Kenig, who lived en the third
lloer of the house. Her husbaud, Michael
Keuig, seme time since left her, it is said,
en account of her jealous suspicious of
him, she charging him with being tee in in
timate with ether wemen in the house. The
result was that after several quarrels he
went te beard out. He, however, sent her
money for the support of the family.
As reported, the estrangement between
Mrs. Kenig and her husband was made
the subject of unfavorable criticism by
ether women in the house, and Mrs. Keuig,
after expressing herself very emphatically,
intimated that she aud her little ones
would net long remain in the world.
With a view te carrying out her implied
threat she arose at three o'clock Tuesday
morning and proceeded te the room eccu
pied by her eldest son, Emil, and his
brother.
Emil, who was awakened by the first thrust
of the common thrce-bladed case knife
which she was using, immediately jumped
from the bed. Grappling with his mother,
a desperate struggle ensued for the pos
session of the knife. The youth finally
succeeded in securing it, but net, how
ever, until after the mother in her mad
frenzy had indicted several severe wounds
upon his and her own person. Having so se
cured the knife he pushed his mother into
her own room. Thinking nothing mere
of the matter he retired and was seen
asleep.
Twe hours later he was again aroused
by cries of "Help!" "Murder!" "Mether
is killing me !" procceding from the room
occupied by his mother aud the rest of the
children. Rushing into the room he found
his mother slashing the threat of his sister
Mary. The girl was helpless, crying
pitceusly, and the mother was about te
inflict the fatal thrust when Emil caught
her arm. Anether struggle ensued for the
possession of the weapon a common bread
knife the walls attesting its intensity by
their bleed stained appcarance when
viewed by the police seen afterward.
The jealousy-crazed inotherwas finally
disarmed, and the pelice, having becu
notified, were seen upon the scene, when
it was discovered that the full extent of
her determination was te put an end te
her own life and the lives of her children.
Augusti, aged five, was found dead ;
Alfred, aged twelve months, was severely
cut about the arms, legs aud face ; Mary
aged thirteen, had her threat and her face
horribly mutilated. Emil, aged seventeen
was also severely stabbed. The murderess
was considerably mutilated about the legs,
one of the incisions made by the knife
being very severe.
In an interview with rcpertets bhe
stated that she was willing te talk, and
gave as a reason for her rash act her hus
band's infidelity and cruel treatment of
her. " I hare waited long aud patiently,"
said she, "expecting tlut by my own
and my friends' inllucnce I could wiu him
back, but en Saturday last net only his
actions but his words convinced me that
that woman had weaned him away from
his family. Since then I considered what
was best te be done, and I concluded te
end my own and my children's troubles
by death. I fully intended and thought
I had kill them all and hoped that my own
cut would also prqyefatal."

Successors te the Murdered secretaries
Many Suspected Persons Arrested
A Reward of 950,000.
Mr. Geerge Otte Trevelyan has been ap
pointed chief secretary for Ireland.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that Mr.
Leenard H. Courtney, member of Parlia
ment for Liskeard, will become junior
secretary of the treasury te fill the place
held by Lord Frederick Cavendish previous
te his appointment as chief secretary for
Ireland. Immediately, it says, upon Mr.
Trevelyan's acceptance of the office, a
speeial policeman was placed en duty be
fore his residence.
It is rumored that the under secretary
ship for Ireland, made vacant by the as
sassination of Mr. Burke, has been offered
te Mr. Blake, ene of the special magis
trates appointed by Mr. Ferster.
The Londen Standard says : " The ap
peintment of Mr. Geerge Otte Trevelyan
as chief secretary for Ireland is favorably
received by the Irish party. Mr. Trevel
yan holds advanced opinions. It is be
lieved that he sympathizes with the popu
lar party in Irelaud."
Mr. Gladstone, in a published statement
announces that he has received a flood of
communications from every part of the
kingdom cxprcssive of horror and indig
nation at the crime. He says it is only
just te state that none are mero remark
able for fervor and siuccrity than the larger
number from all parts of Ireland. He
wishes te express his scuse of the geuuiiie
feeling shown hy the communications aud
his personal thanks for the sympathy man
ifested. The following additional information
with regard te the assassinations has ceme
te light : Twe bicyclists, fitters in the em
ployment of a railroad company, stated
that they passed the spot where the mur
der was committed. They saw the assas
sins strike their victims, aud heard Lord
Frederick Cavendish cry out "All, you
villian !" te his assailaut, who then stab
bed him again. Lord Frederick fell ever
against the bicycle of ene of the fitters,
who was coming te his assistance, but the
murderers, with bloody knives, made
towards him, nnd both of the bicyclists
thereupon get away as fast as possible
They saw the car en the read waiting for
the murderers. The driver's hack was
turned. They saw a man stab Cavendish
iu the back as he lay en the ground.
The government will offer a reward of
AI10, 000 for miermatiau given within three
mouths which will lead te the conviction

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
LAISOHEKS FOR HARVEST.
A Sermon by Dr. Vreen Uefore the Theolog
ical Seminary.
Despite the bad' weather St. Paul's Re
formed church was well filled last evening
te listen te the annual sermon delivered
before the seciety of religious inquirers
of the Reformed theological seminary by
Rev. Dr. Green, of Princeton, New Jersey.
The institution was well represented by
students and faculty.
After a short opening service of prayer
and song Dr. Green began his discourse.
He based his sermon ou the parable of the
Lord sending laborers into the harvcst,but
particularly that clause : "The harvest
iudced is'grcat, but the laborers are few,
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he send laborers iute his harvest."
Luke x, 2.
That the Seu of Ged should solicit the
prayers of men seems incredible, but He
asks theso prayers net for himself, but en
behalf of His own glorious cause. He
never ence asked te be prayed for ; He
who prayed for ; He who were the crown
of thorns, was spit upon, rebuked, smitten
with many stripes, appealed te no human
agency for prayerful solicitation. All His
injunctions te pray were for the cause
the salvation of the world, and yet He was
absolutely alone, no co-operation was pos
sible ; He asks this aid ; He throws him
self en human co-operation te accomplish
certain ends ; He asks what he never be
fere solicited te aid in constructing a
bridge ever the chasm between the sinner
and life eternal ; te reconcile Ged te man.
litis co-operation is real ; there is a
work committed te human hands ; with
out it the work will be left undone. The
Lord asks you te His vineyard te work work
te gather the sheaves in this golden
harvest. De net let it be tardily done.
Thcre is no subordinate gate for you.
Yeu will net be deputized te work in the
corners, or where the grain is scant, but
in the world, which is the havest field,
filled with stalks of bristling geld, bending
low with the weight of well-filled ears.
After dwelling at seme length en the work
el the minister as he labors in the Lord's
harvest, filled with its pains and pleasures,
ieys aud sorrows, trials and exaltations
he speke of the grand scheme of redemp
tion established by Christ's mission en
earth which was completed when he
cried out, "It is finished," en Calvary's
cress, aud speke of the re want that will
crown the work of the busy harvester
Mauy may net, wield the sickle with the
skill of an adept worker, but be can yet
work. Be no drone or idler, never shirk
His work till you have accomplished all en.
trusted te you, aud the anvil of praise will
resound and re-echo te your redeemer's
cars. The sermon lasted ever an hour and
was delivered in a clear and forcible man
ner. The doctor has a geed voice and
uses it te geed advantage. The services
were closed by Rev. Dr. Gerhart, of the
seminary faculty, who occupied the pulpit
with Dr. urceu.

THE AUDITORS.
The Celaaibla Justices en the Stand.
Yesterday afternoon tn mnntv .ni.
ters resumed their examination of W.
nayes uner, justice et the peace of Colum
bia. They pointed out te him that he had
charged the county fees for search war
rants, which clearly be had no right te de
and the auditors would net allow his claim.
He answered that he was new at the basil
ness, and if he had made an error, and
charged for anytbiug he was net entitled
te the auditors should strike it off. They
also pointed out te him some duplicated
eases, and his answer again was " Btrike
them off, they are mistakes."
The auditors told Squire Grier that they
found his record regularly and neatly kept
except that he was tee brief in spreading
the proceeding of the cases upon his
record. He replied that he would knew
better hereafter, and would try and con
form strictly te the law. He was then
dismissed.
"Meb-tailed Sam' Under Fire.
The auditors next had under examina
tion the accounts of Samuel Evans (" bob
tailed Sam," as the Xew Era styles him,)
also a justice of the poace of Columbia.
On being sworn he answered all the
leading questions negatively, as all the
ether witnesses had done, aud said he had
been a justice of the peace 22 years.
The auditors told him that his bills for
the past five months showed that he had
charged for 208 eases at a cost te the
county of 9371. 10 for justice's fees and
$273.38 for constables ; and that nearly all
his cases were returned as committed. He
was then asked whether these cases were
committed te the lockup or te the jail.
He answered that most of them were com
mitted te the lockup.
It should be noticed here that when a
prisoner was committed te the lockup
'Squire Evans charged 40 cents for mak
ing out the commitment, and allowed the
constables 50 cents for committing him
and 12 cents for mileage ! This is a viola
tion of the law that our Lancaster alder
men have net yet learned. Rei
The 'squire, in response te ether ques
tions, answered that he made out the bills
for his constables ; made them out from
the entries iu his docket ; and made up
his docket at the time of the hearing, ex
cept when ether impeitant business pre
vented. When search warrants are issued
he requires the complainant te pay for
them when the case is net made out.
In answer te another question he said
the constables were entitled te mileage
where they are the prosecutors, and there
were no ether witnesses and the case is
dismissed. If any such charges were made
they weie "clerical errors."
When a constable took up a vagrant
and brought him before the squire he said
he charged 25 cents aud allowed the con cen cen
stable 25 cents whether the case was dis
charged or committed.
Examination of 'Squire Yeung.
This morning th i examination of Geerge
Yeung, jr., a justice of the peace of the
First ward. Columbia, took place. He
answered the scries of leading questions
negatively as all the ethers had dene. Last
year he disposed of 255 cases, at a cost for
the justice of $540.75 and- for constables of
$237.77. In reply te a question as te
whether there were net professional pros
ecutors in many cases he answered that he
did net knew.
He was informed that bis bills
showed that Rebert Kecch, a con
stable was prosecutor in 115 cases,
all of which were dismissed, and
was asked whether he did net think that
looked like being a professional prosecutor.
He replied that he did net think se.
The justice was asked whether a ma
jority of the cases heard and dismissed by
him were net peer people who had sought
the shelter of the lockup. He replied that
there might have been seme sueh cases.
He was next asked who C. F. Yeung was
who appeared as a witness in no less than
twelve cases in the July bill. He answered
that it was his son.
Mr. Clarksen told witness the auditors
had information that persons were picked
up en the streets by runners, who piloted '
then te the station house where com
plaints were trumped up against thorn,
and then they were taken before the favor
ite alderman of the runner where after a
brief hearing they were dismissed with
county for costs. He wished te state that
hereafter the auditors would allow no
costs in such cases. The 'squire answered
that he was glad te hear it.
Mr. Grcider examined the 'squire's bill
for November, which showed that there
were eighteen duplicated cases, and asked
him if he thought he had a right te- make
such cases. He answered that he thought
he had. Some of these cases were im
portant ; money had been stolen and he
and the officers had spent much time in
ferreting them out.
Mr. Greider called his attention te the
Shay case, 'where there are charges of
drunken and disorderly conduct and ma
licious mischief, where there was but one
hearing, but fees are charged by both con
stable and justice. The 'squire answered
that thcre were certainly two offences com
mitted, and therefore there should be two
complaints. The accused get drunk, mis mis
behaved and broke the windows of a citi
zen. Mr. Clarksen Aud yet you dismiss
both complaints, with county for costs.
In response te ether questions witness
answered that he never allowed constables
mileage for subptcnaing themselves ;
makes out constables' bills from his
docket, and hears no cases of trespass en
the cars of the railroad companies ; de
net issue blank warrants te officers.
