WYOMING ELECTION CONTEST.
The Couit Makes Necessary Oiders
for Furthering the Case,
tfpeclil to the Scranton Tribune.
Ttinklmimook, Uec. 17. The court
of common picas met hoiu toelnv for
tho ptupobr of homing the matter of
the contested election oC A, H. SStiuler
for the ofUro of lepreaentatlve In tho
pnornl nispmlily. The coin I con
vened nt 1 o'clock and Immediately
upon the opening of court a motion
was made by tho attorneys for re
spondent to qunsh the petition of
contestants, on the kkiuihI that tho
petition was no of sufllclent particu
larity, Inasmuch as the names of thoMo
whoso votes wciu nllpsc.il to ho ille
Knl were not sr-t forth. AiRiiments
upon this question were licuul on holh
Hides and the court piomptly ovcr-
liiled the motion. Attorneys for the
contestant and for H. D. Tiffany then
presented two propositions) to the
respondent, tending to simplify and
shot ten tho contest. It will he re
memboted that upon the count of tho
vote by the letuin judges an nlleged
mistake was discovered In the re
turns ftom Monroe township. The re
turn sheet, signed by the election
officers, showed IDS votes cast for Mr.
Tiffany In that town. The tally sheet,
which was unsigned, showed onlj 101
marks opposite the name of H. O.
Tiffany. The letutnlng boaul, with
out any investigation into the facts
to ascertain which was correct anil
without even opening tho list of voters
which was filed with the returns to
1 find how many votes weie there cast,
deckled that the tally rhect should
govern their count and gave Tiffany
but 10.1 votes In that town. This gave
Squler a pluiallty In the county of
three votes. As soon as Jlr. Tiffany
was Informed of the action of the re
turning boaid ho came befoie them
and asked that tho vote of Monroe
he recounted. Ho was met by an In
junction sued out at the instance of
li lends of Mr. Squier, lestralning the
J letmning boaid fiom sitting to fur-
' ther consideration of " the matter,
which Injunction upon a he.ulng hal
before the comt, was tlisrolvcd. The
ipturnlng board refused to luithor
consider the vote of Monioe and is
sued a certificate to A. II. Squler.
Thoie waa then no way for Mi. Tif
fany to got at the ote from Monioe
except by a contest. The proposl
llons made in open couit todav were
as follows: Piist That the court
-end for the ballot boxes in the dif
inent piecincts, open them, count the
ballots therein and issue a certificate
to the one who should appear by such
ount elected, both pai ties binding
tlipmselves to abide by the result of
tho count. Second The court to send
for the ballot box of Monioe town
ship, open it and count the ballot,
then In, and taking the otc as le
turned fiom the other town1", ascer
tain who was in fact elected, and I-.-Mip
a ceitltlcnte nccoullngly. These
two propositions being made both fur
tho put pose of saving eols to the tax
payers of the county and for the fin -thering
of the busine These two
i.ffeis cnmpiis-e all that Mr. Tiu'any
asks for, namely a fair count of the
ballots of the county and especially
in the township of Monioe.
Attorneys for tespondent lefused '(
consider the propositions in any way.
The com t then made the iipcc .ssat v
oiders for the further ins of the con
test as follows: Contestants were or
dered to tile their bill of particulars
within twenty days fiom this date,
setting foith, specifically, the winter
of the pel sons whom thev allege weic
illegal voters, and the caucs, etc., and
that jespondent file within twenty
days after a copy of the above bill
of particulars i3 seived on him, his
answer and likewise a similar bill of
particulars. In legaul to the collect
ing of tho ballot boxes, Asa f. Keeler,
esq., and H. S. Harding, esq, weiv
appolnted by the couit to collect them
and deliver them to the shut Iff of
Wyoming county ns soon as possible,
and to ieport the condition and pine
of custody of each box. Com t then
ndjourned to meet on Tuesday, the
first day of .Tanuaiy, next.

those who Have
given it a fair and
faithful trial.
About ten years ago
I began to have trouble
with my stomach,"
writes Mr. Win. Con

St., Lorain, Ohio. "It
cot so bad that J bad
to lay off quite often
two and three days iu
a week, my stomach
would bloat, and I
wnuld belch ud irns.
a nil waa in awful distress at such time. I have
been treated by the best doctors in this city but
got no help whatever, borne said I had cancer
of the stomach, others dyspepsia. I hate bought
and tried everything I vv advertised for dys
pepsia and stomach trouble, but loutiuued to
get worse all the time. About twelve months
ago I was iu such a condition that my friends
had some fear about my recover)'- It was then
I wrote to you for advice. You told me that by
my symptoms you thought I had liv er complaint
and advised the use of your 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' uuel' Plcaj-uut. Pellets' in connection.
These medicines I have taken as directed, aud
am very happy to state that I commenced to get
better from the start and have not lost a diiv
this summer on account of my stomach. I feel
