BAKElt BALLOT LAW.
Attorney General Henaal's Opinion E
ffirdlntr Seotlon 8.
Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 13 Attor
ney General Hensel has given the sec.
retary ot the commonwealth an opin
ion regarding a construction of tbe
third clause of section 3 of the Biker
ballot law, which requires nomination
paper to be signed by at leasf 3 per
cent, of the largest entire vote for any
officer elected at the last preeediog
election.
He says the law means just what it
ays and that the election for congress-man-at-large
in any particular distriot
oannot be made the basis of distriot
nominations. Tbe opinion was given
because of a question raised by the
chairman ot the People's party as to
whether the vote of 1892 or February
1894 should be tbe basis of computa
tion. A WOMAN HONORED.

SENATE SUGAR CASES.
Demurrers of Brokers Chapman and
McCartney to Be Argued
on Sept. 28.
Washington, Sept. 13 On Sept. 28
the demurrers ot brokers, Elverton R,
Chapman, of New York, nnd John
MaCartney, of this city, to tbe indict
ments charging them with unlaw
fully refusing to answer questions
before the seuate sugar investigat
ing committee, will be argued in
tbe distriot of Columbia criminal
court. The arguments will be on
constitutional grounds that is. the
contention will be that the senate com
mittee had no power to compel wit
nesses to answer questions. In the
event that the demurrers are sustained
no further action will be taken in the
matter, as the government has not the
right of appeal in a criminal case.
bbonld the decision of the court be
against the defendants, the cases will
be carried to the court of appeals, and
if that court, too,decides against them,
tbe matter will go to the supreme
court of the United States.
J. W. Shriver, of the New York
Mail and Express, and E J. Elvrards,
the New York correspondent of a
Philadelphia pap', have also been in
dicted for the same reasons as the two
brokers. The. newspapar men have
tiled demurrers to the indictments, but
they will not be argned until some ac
tion is taken in the other cases. Should
Messrs. Chapman and McCartney suc
ceed in haviug th indictments against
them quashed, those against Messrs.
Shrivor and Edwards may never com e
to trial.
The cases of the othor two recalci
trant senate committee witnesses.
President Henry O. Havemeyer and
Secretary John E. Searles, of the
American augur Refining company,

Vice Presideut Stevenson last August,
and witnesses have appeared and have
given testimony. The grand jury met
this week for the fall term, and indict
ments may now be expected against
aiessrs. mvemeyer and Sauries at any
time.
The distriot attorney today said that
there was no disposition on the part
of tbe government to nolle prosse these
cases. Qn tbe contrary, he said, the
government would prosooute tbe mat
ter with all possible vigor.

Flecial to the Scranton Tribune,
Pittston. Pa, Sent. 13.
r FTER two months of flatulent
A wangling and reerimination,
the council of this borough to
il u night came to a temporary con
clusion with reference to street paving.
By a vote of 7 to 1 it was decided to
award the contrast for 44,000 square
yards of new paving to the Barber
Asphalt company. The contract cills
rorraorethau this; but 44,000 square
yards are what the borough will nave
to pay for. They will have to pny at
the rate of $2.24 per square yard, if to
night's aotion staudd. But its standing
ie in doubt. Those who know, Intimate
that boforo tbe job is ended some mem
bers will be lying prostrate "outside
the breastworks." if not clad in stripes.
Conncilman Donnelly led tbe as
phalt forces. His resolution to award
tbe contract to tno Barber comoany
called forth a spirited debate, but it
was curried by tbe votes of Donnelly,
Reap, Clifford, Lynett, Knowles and
Patrick Maloney, the member from
Oregon. Conncilman Hennigan, see
ing resistance was useless, voted aye
also, President Mangan voted nay.
Conncilman Kourney refrained from
committing himself, and Councilman
Tigne was absent with the firemen who
went to Wilkee-Baere during the day.
money freely offered.
The Citizens' Advisory commute,
which has encouraged the street paving
roform through all its devious pro
cesses, on Wednesday afternoon almost
unanimously recommonded the selec
tion ot vitrified brick. Public senti
ment, too, as nearly as can be ascer
tained, is in favor of briek pave. But
brick pave was not adopted, despite tbe
fact that it was the council's original
choice.
Councilman Tigne, the ehegetio pro
prietor of tbe American house, got
wotd at Wilkes-Barre how things were
going and took the first car back. He
reached the council room too late to
vote, bnt when the vote was an
nounced, be stld. in front of Glick's
drug store, and in the presence of R.
B. Cutler, John Connell, Charles
Curry, School Director M. J. Brennan,
J. M, Fahy and more than a aeore of
others, that he bad Intended to vote
for tbe lowest reliable vitrified brick
hid, as a matter of publio duty; but
that, had he cared to bave accepted
bribes, he conld have made a good sum
of money by voting for asphalt.
TIOUB GROWS SPECIFIC.
"Within the past few days," con
tinued Mr. Tiguu, "I was approached
by a representative of tb nsnhalt com
pany who offered me $500 'spot cash
for my vote aud said 'ther'd be more in
it' if bis side carried. At another
time a fellow councilman, whose name
I am prepared to ttivn to the proper
parties, offered me $000 to vote for as
phalt, and said that tlier-) would be
$1,000 in it only that $100 had to be
given to a certain third party. Further
than that, I was offered $000 by a
prominent man to vote for the Hol
lowood brick pave. This man is a
borough official and I am prepared to
make my affllavit, stating the. full
names, if it is desired."
Theso'names are in The Tribune's
possession. They are witheld pending
the drawing up of paptrs necessary
to a rigid investigation. That money
was used on council would seem to be
a reasonable inference from this testi
mony; but positive proof will be plaoed
in the proper bands before many days
nnd a turning of the calcium light may
be expeoted.
