Taking Testimony in an Election
Contest to Ninety Days All of the
Time Consumed Over and Above
That Is at tho Expense of the Liti
gants Amendment to Permit of
tho Curing of Defective Affidavits.
Some Other Innovations.
Tho election contest evil has grown
to such proportions in this state that
the last legislature took some radical
steps to discourage tho practice. A
number of bills with this end In view
were Introduced and passed and have
received tho plgnature of Governor
Stone. One ot tho bills, which was
Introduced by Senator J. C. Vaughan,
Is somewhat drastic In Its provisions.
It Is as follows:

be and the same is hereby amended to
read as follows:
"Section i). Witnesses and olllcers

to the olllce In either of the
above named cases the costs shall

state treasurer out of any moneys not
otherwise appropriated on bills certi

or Judge upon examination and ap
proval of the auditor general."
SENSIBLE AMENDMENT.
An amendment suggested by Judge
Archbald has become a law which will
permit of the curing of defective affi
davits. The Intention ot the amend
ment Is to prevent tho Incompetency
of election olllcers from robbing a man
uf his vote. In every election con
test scores of voles are thrown out
because the election ofllcer who made
out tho affidavit was Incompetent and
did not know how to properly fill out
the document. Heictofore the votes
had to bo thrown out because there
was no way of curing the defects In
the nflldavlts.
Judge Archbald's sensible suggestion
remedies tho dlfllculty. Tho amend
ment Is to the tenth section ot an net
entitled "A further supplement to the
act regulating elections In this com
monwealth. Tho amendment la as
follows:
"Provided, that In case any person
Is allowed to vnto nt an election who

tion Is insufficient, In any contest
growing out of said election It shall

duvit, so as to show that tho said per
son was In fact a eiuallfled voter, but
this shall not apply to non-registered
voters who make no nflldavlt, or one
which makes no attempt to comply
with the law."
Another act which was suggested by
the experience of Lackawanna county
with election contests limits the time
of contests to ninety days. It Is as
follows:
LIMITING ACT.
That hereafter In all contested elec
tions except of governor, lieutenant
governor, electors of president and vice
president of the United States and all
other olllcers of this commonwealth
who now are or hereafter shall be re
quired to bo elected by tho qualified
voters of tho state at large, the time
to be consumed In taking testimony In
court before an examiner or examiners
appointed for that purpose shall not
exceed ninety days In any one case, no
matter whether such testimony be
taken In court or before an examiner
or examiners, or partly In court and
partly before an examiner or exam
iners, and said testimony shall be taken
In tho following order, to wit:
A period of time not exceeding forty
days shall be allowed the contestant
for this purpose; a succeeding period
of time, not exceeding forty days, shall
be allowed for said purpose to the per
son returned ns elected and the con
testant may take testimony In rebuttal
during ten days, Immediately succeed
ing the time allowed the persons re
turned as elected for taking testimony
and for any testimony taken after the
limit of time herein fixed, no contest
court shall have the power to charge
any costs to any district, countv, city,
township, borough, ward, school dis
trict or municipality, nor shall they be
under any liability for the payment of
the same, but the said court may order
the contestant, petitioners, or person
returned elected, to pay the costs, as
In Its discretion It Is deemed just and
proper.
Provided, That no costs shall be paid
out of the tiensury of any district,
county, city, township, borough, ward,
school district or municipality In any
such contest until the same has been
finally determined: and no costs ac
cruing or chargeable In any case after
the limit of time herein fixed shall bo
paid by tho proper district, county,
township, borough, ward, school dis
trict, or municipality, nor shall they
be under any liability for the payment
of tho same.
All acts or parts of acts Inconsistent
herewith bo and the same are hereby
repealed.
PRESENT CONTESTS.
Thre Is nothing In this act to Indi
cate that It does not apply to ponding
contests.
It will bo for the court to say as to
whether or not this amendment will
apply to matters now at Issue here.
APPLICANTS FOR RELIEF.
roor Board Directors Devote an
Afternoon to Believing Those in
Distress Requests Ead a .
Pitiable Feature.
Ths poor board met In regular ses
sion yesterday afternoon, with Messrs.
Langstaff and Fuller the absentees.
The business of the meeting consisted
almost solely of hearing and disposing
of applications for relief.
Mrs. John Southard, of Dunmore,
was tho first called and Director Mur
phy addressed the board In her be
half. He stated that the woman and
her husband, who are both aged, re
side near the Dunmore cemetery and
are unable to work. A son, 26 year3 ot
age, strong and robust, and who re
fuses to work, subsists from whatever
is sent into his parents for their relief.
Another son of Mrs. Southard's, living
In California, learning of his parents'
circumstances, sent $50 and $10 on two
different occasions, and tho son at
home took the money. The board In
structed Mr. Murphy to use his discre
tion as what to do In the matter.
Mrs. Alex Leroy, of Philadelphia,
who said sha had just arrived from
Forest City, and wanted transporta
tion to her home, where her son lives,
was sont back to Forest City.
Mrs. Morris DUlman, of Alder street,
who paid her oldest boy, 14 years old,
Is unmanageable and will not work,
wanted nn Increase In her allowance.
Tho case waj referred to Mr. Dlckert
with power to acU
Mrs, Patrick Loftus, of Stone ave
nue. Informed tho board that her hus
band who Is young and strong-, will not
work and abuses her shamefully, air.
Dickert was instructed to aid her and
to consult with Attorney Scragg as
to the husband's conduct.
John Kline, of Elm street, an old tol
dler with a large family, nnd who has
been unable t get a pension, was
granted aid, nnd Incidentally Director
Hhotton, ascertaining that Kline was
a chair caner, gave him somo work In
that line.
Mrs. David Chappell, of Evans' ooutt,
whose husband left her four months
ago, nnd Is now in Wales, was made
happy. She and her four children, tho
oldest six years and the youngest three
months, will be sent back to- her home
In Wales. The case was fully Investi
gated, nnd found to bo n worthy case
as the woman is a stranger here, un
ablo to assist herself, and the viiolo
family would becomo a charge upon
the district.
Tho matter of Indenturing the four
little children of Mrs. Mary Rellly, or
Mnplo street, was left to Director
Dlckert's Judgment Meanwhile the
family will be cared for.
Dr. Paine, who, at the last meeting'
of the board was directed to have tho
children of Mrs, Heeso Llewellyn, of
West Scranton, taken to a charitable
Institution, Informed tho members that
tho Associated Board of Charities waj
the proper body to proceeel In the mat
ter. Mrs. Dufjgnn was notified to that
effect.

ARE COUNCILMEN
NOW IN CONTEMPT
A. A. VOSBURO BELIEVES THAT
THEY ARE.
Presented a Petition to Court Yes
terday Reciting tho Action Takon
at Thursday Night's Moeting of
tho Select and Asking for a Rule
to Compel the Councllmen to Show
Cause Why They Should Not Have
Attachments Issued for Them for
Contempt of Court.
Tho select councllmen who on Thurs
day night refused to obey tho order of
the court nnd confirm tho bond ot City
Solicitor-elect A. A. Vosburg will have
to answer before the court Monday.
Yesterday tho following petition was
presented to the court by Mr. Vos
burg: To tho honorable, the Judges of the
court of common pleas of Lacka
wanna countv.
The petition of A. A. Vosburg re
spectfully represents that ho is tho re
lator In the above Btated mandamus
proceedings and that upon a petition
presented by him, this court did, on
the 15th day of May, 1S0D, award n per
emptory writ of mandamus upon tho
defendants, as tho members of tho
select council ot the city of Scranton;
that In pursuance to said order ot court,
a writ of peremptory mandamus was
Issued to tho defendants, commanding
them to approve said ofllclal bond,
which was served by the sheriff, as the
petitioner Is Informed and believes,
upon all ot tho said defendants except
Edward James, W. M. Finn, J. A.
Lansing and P. F. McCann, on tho 17th
and 18th days of May. 1&99; that on
the evening of the 18th day of May,
1899, tho said select council met In
regular session, tho following members
being present: R. W. Williams. Fin-
lay Ross. John J. Kearney, Simon
Thomas, J. E. Roche, T. C. Melvln, C.
E. Chittenden, C. F. Wagner, J. J.
Schneider, J. J. Shea, George Sander
son, II. T. Fellows, Thomas O'Bovlo,
Edwin Frable, T. J. Coyne and J. J.
McAndrews; a quorum being present;
that In total disregard of the mandate
of the court, and the writ of manda
mus, the said defendants refused and
neglected to approve said ofllclal bond
of tho relator, but on the contrary a
motion was made by J. E. Roche, that
the said bond remain In the custody of
the clerk, pending an appeal from tho
said decision of the court, which mo
tion was carried by the following af
firmative votes, viz.: J, J. Kearney,
John E. Roche, T. C, Molvin, John J.
Shea.Adam Schroeder, Thomas O'Boyle,
Edwin Frable, Thomas J. Coyne nnd
J. J. McAndrews, or nine votes n all,
the remalnng number present, viz.,
eight in all, voting In the negative.
Your petitioner avera that lie Is ad
vised that such action was a contempt
of court: and he therefore prays that
an attachment for contempt may Issue
to the said parties who voted that the
said bond remain In tho custody of the
clerk. And he will ever pray, etc.
Judge Gunster, to whom the petition
was presented, granted a rule return
able Monday morning at 9 o'clock to
compel tho nine councllmen In ques
tion to show cause why writs of at
tachment for contempt of court should
not be Issued agah st them. At the
hour In question ths councllmen will
have to make answer to the court con
cerning their conduct.
Yesterday morning, In compliance
with the decision of council on Thurs
day night, on appeal from the decision
of tho court of this county was taken
to the superior court. The attorneys
who represent tho council In this ap
peal are O'Rtien Sc Kelly, Wlllard,
Warren & Knapp and City Solicitor
M. A. McGlnley. Tho appeal Is to
come up for a hearing at tho term of
the superior court In this city next
January.
Mr. Vosburg said yesterday that, as
he views the law, the councllmen nre
clearly In contempt of court. The
fact that they decided to take an ap
peal was In no sense an appeal and,
even If the appeal had been taken In
regular form, It would not act as a
supersedeas unless the court to which
appeal was taken so stated In an order.
Accompanying the appeal taken yes
terday was a bond ot $500 signed by
John J. Fahey, C. W. McKlnnoy and
T. C. Melvln.
"This whole proceeding Is simply an
effort to gain time and keep the pre
sent Incumbent in office a little long
er," said Mr. Vosburg' yesterday. "I
have no fear as to tho ultimate out
come and I will then begin suit against
tho men whoso names appear on the
bond for tho salary of tho office for
the length of time I was kept out of
It after being elected."
