mon. Luncheon wits served at noon.
There were about fifty Indies from out

PETITION IS REFUSED.
Cornelius Smith's Attempt to Con
test Hon. F. W. Gunstor Has
Met with a Serious Set Back
from Judge Simonton.
Judge J. YY. Simonton. of Dauphin
county, 1ms handed down tin opinion
dismissing the petition of Cornelia
Smith, of this city, for a mnhdamu.
to compel the attorney general of tho
state to certify Mr. Smith's petition
to the governor.
The petition nsked for the institution
of a contest against Hon. F. W. Gun
stor for tin? position of additional lnw
judge of this county. Judge Simonton
has dismissed the petition nt the cost
of Mr. Smith. A portion of Judge Si
monton's lengthy opinion Is as follows:
As It thus clearly appears that the pe
titioner has no cuic it would bo a. vain
thing for the uttorroy general to trans
mit his petition to the governor, and for
him to direct a court to be constituted to
try the Intended contest. In Com. o: rel.
Hums vs. Handle-)-, ir, Pa., 2n, the fonts
were that 4,G0O votes had been cast lor
the ruin tot for tho olllce of Judge of the
court of common pleas of Ijickawniina
county, but tho court re food to com
pute these otis on the ground that thero
was no vacancy In tin nlllie. whereupon
he obtained a rule In the Supremo court
to show cnuso why n mandamus should
not bo Issued compilllng the court to
computo the voles. The Supremo court,
examining tho t.veral acts of assembly
relating to the matter end llnding that
thero was no vacancy in the otiicc of
Judge in said county, refused to grant
a mandamus compelling the counting of
tho votes for tile petltict.cr, saying
"Tho ballots cast for Ira II. Hums ot
the general election of 1SS3 were, thc-c-fore,
without warrant or autliotity of
law, and we can discover no useful pur
pose to bo observed In obliging the Judges
of tho court of common pleas of Lack i
wanna county to cemi ute them. Wo aro
therefore of the opinion th'it the rule
should be discharged."
On the same principle, as the petitioner
In tho case before us has no legal ground
on which to sustain a contest, and to in
stitute one would cause needless vexation
and expense, tho rule to show cause must
be discharged; thus applying, as was
il. in tho case Just cited, the well tet
tled p-'e that tho writ of mandamus, as
Is said In Com. vs. Canal Commissioners,
'2 1 & W.. CI", is "for use enly In extra
ordinary e-ase, where there would oth
erwise lie a failure of Justice." See also
Com. vs.Nllenry. 49 Pr. KS, and James
vs. the Commisfloners, 13 Pa. 75.
Tho rule to show causo is discharged at
the costs ot tho petltlcner,

GRAVE CHARGE
AGAINST ERIN
HE IS NOW ON TRIAL BEFORE
JUDOE EDWARDS.
Jonnio Shimer, the Twelvo-Year-Old
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Shimer, Who Roside Near tho
Driving Park, Testified That tho
Accused Assaulted Her on Five
Diffcront Occasions He Has a
Wife and Threo Children Other
Cases Tried Yesterday.
A most disgusting fuse Wus tiled be
fore Judge II. M. Edwards In court
room No. 2 yesterday afternoon. That
tli. ..fin ft i nrim wiiu fil'owflnil iT,wki u lib-
nut saying; It always Is when a cus? !
of salacious character is being heard. ,
Jacob Erin, a man forty years of age, i
who has a wife and three children, was j
on trial for criminally assaulting Jen
nie, the 12-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Shimer. The Shimer
nnd the Erlns were neighbors and i
slded near the Driving I'ark.
'Pile girl Is rather large for her age,
and has a sweet, innocent face. As
she related her terrible story yesterday
she was1 unconscious of the horror her
words Inspired In the breasts of those
who heard her. Apparently her knowl
edge of the world Is limited, even for
a girl of her tender years. Her mother
testified that Jennie wns 12 years of
age on Jan. 4. The offenses with which
Erin Is charged were committed last
summer.
In the same community In which the
Erlns and Shinier reside a man named
firnnt Shafer lived last summer. He
Is a single man and was friendly with
Erin. Early in the fall Shafer was
found near the Driving l'ark in a. com
promising attitude with Minnie John
son, the 9-yenr-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Johnson, who reside In
that neighborhood. He was arrested
and nt a hearing before Alderman Fid
ler, of the First ward, a frightful story
was reluted.
EltIN IMPLICATED.
It appeared that Shafer had attempt
ed to assault Minnie Johnson and had
assaulted Jennie Shimer several times.
The girls nt the hearing told that Jacob
Erin had noted towards them in the
same manner as Shnfer. The latter has
been Indicted for the offenses against
both girls nnd the cases are on the list
for this wei'k. Erin was Indicted for
his assaults on the Shimer girl nnd a
warrant was also sworn out for him
at tho Instance of the Johnsons, but
hus not yet been served, ns Erin has
been In Jail since his arrest at the In
stance of Jennie Shimer's mother.
When Erin was called for trial yes
terday afternoon he took a seat at the
defendant's table with his attorneys,
Vosburg & Dawson. His victim sat at
tho commonwealth's table with her
mother and District Attorney Jones,
who conducted the prosecution. Erin
Is a butcher by occupation and decent
enough In appearance. His wife and
one of his daughters, who is1 about 12
years of age, sat directly behind him
during the trial. Mrs. Erin seemed to
feel the disgrace much more keenly
than her husband, and nervously bit
nt her finger nails all afti"- - mil. Her
face was a picture of nma..ement as
tho damaging testimony against her
husband was unfolded.
Jennie Shimer wns the first witness
examined by the commonwealth and
she told of five different assaults Erin
committed upon her person. On two
occasions he cave her five-cent pieces
and he told her she would Incur his
displeasure and wrath If she told any
person about what he had done.
THE OTHEIt WITNESSES.
Other witnesses examined were Mrs.
Sadie Shimer, mother of the child;
Mrs. Frederick Johnson, Charles Shi
nier nnd Alderman Fidlcr. They tes
tified concerning admissions the ac
cused made about the time ho was ar
rested. He paid a visit to the homes
of the Johnsons and Shimors nnd asked
them to forgive him. He had done
wrong, he paid, but If they would prom
ise not to prosecute him he would be
tho best of men from that time on.

Immediately after Erin's arrest. He
will be heard when court opens this
morning. That will close the testl-
mony on the part of the common
wealth. Court yesterday made an or
der to permit the examination of the
child today by a physician selected by
tho defense. Tho examination will be
made in the presence of Dr. Jenkins.
Charles Beatly on Trial.
Charles Beatty, an ex-burgess of
Olyphant, who now resides at Throop,
was tried before Judge II. W. Arch
bald in No. 2 court r,oom yesterday af
ternoon on a charge of striking Daniel
Dawson on the head with nn axe on
May 27 Inst. Tho men had some trouble
over n lawsuit and on the night in
question Dawson was somewhat intoxi
cated and went to the home of Beatty
about 11 o'clock and made u, loud nolsv,
abusing Beatty and dating blm to go
out and fight.
Beatty was In bed, but arose and par
tially dressed himself and went out to
chase Dawson away. Tho latter was
so violent, Beatty declared yesterday
when on the stand, that he thought he
was In danger and bent down to get
a stone. His hand struck a small axe
lying In the yard and he picked it up
and struck Dawson with it. At tho
time he did not think he had Injured
hlin very seriously. Dawson main-

I father. When she started for school
she was perfectly well apparently, but
I shortly after the exercises had begun,
! she complained of feeling ill and iin-
mediately returned home.
Dr. 11. C. Comegys was summoned
and he pronounced her Illness as due to
pleurisy, but did not anticipate any
serious change in her condition. She
was In excellent spirits and talked
freely with her relatives about going
to school nnd other matters during the
day. Yesterday about 4 a. m. Mrs.

bers of the family. At 1.30 o'clock,
