Cushlng at the Presbyterian church
Sunday night. Mr. Cushlng Is a clear,
logical speaker and presents the tem
perance question In a forcible yet pleas
ing way. His adddegs here was com
plimented very highly on every hand.
He is making a tour of the county and
will return to address our people again
on Friday evening at the court house.
Hon! H. D. Tiffany, of Nicholson, was
over yesterday keeping tabs on the Ju
dicial contest and circulating among
friends generally. Mr. Tiffany's rec
ord as a legislator Is a creditable one
and satisfactory generally to his con
stituents. On all questions of Impor
tance that came up for action he fol
lowed the wishes of his constituency,
so far as was apparent from this dis
tance. That Is a custom that Is nearly
obsolete among legislators, but one that
could be revived with a good deal of
propriety.
Judges Rice, Searle and Archbald oc
cupied the bench In the court room yes
terday while the examination of wit
nesses In the Judicial contest wns going
on. They were not acting In their oill
cial capacity, but were merely noting
the progress of the "work and storing
up such facts as might be useful to
them thereafter. H H. Coston, of
Scranton, was at the stenographer's
desk, and the attorneys for either side
sat around their rspoctlve tables-.
Judge Dunham's benign countenance
was conspicuous among his counsel,
and he was flanked af -the left by D. C.
DeWltt, esq., of Towanda. District
Attorney Frear and Hon. E. J. Jordan
are their atsoclates, while the plain
tiff's Interests are represented by J. O.
Scouten, or Dushore, James W. Piatt
and C. E. Terry, of hls place. About
seventy-five witnesses were examined,
the same routine being gone through
in each Instance. Tho questions relat
ed principally to the payment of taxes,
and whenever a witness exhibited a re
ceipt It was closely scrutinized and usu
ally laid aside for future reference. At
the present rate of progress it will take
all the week to dispose of the witnesses
summoned.
