DECISION Id EXPECTED SOON.
Election Contest Likely to Do Dis
posed of Summarily.
A decision on tho proposition to call
quits In tho elcctlo contest and savo
tho court the year's rouble and $10,000
expense of oponlnf, tho ballots nnd
nscertalnlnR whom tho 2,000 Illegal
otes wero cast for, Is expected almost
any (lav.
Tho parties to tho contest nnd the
attorneys havo uRi-ecd that a flndlnp;
shall ho made that tho contestant
showed enoURh bad votes to slightly
decronso the majority ot his opponent,
thereby maklns ground for a ruling
that there was probable cause for the
contest, which would put the costs on
the county.
It will be shown at nil events that
hundred of Illegal votes wero cast for
the respondent, nnd this, under tho
law, can be taken as evidence nf prob
able wine. There belnc nothing at
v?itie now pave the disposition of tho
costs, It would bo a waste of time nnd
money, It Is contended, to go Into tho
nintter of opening the ballots.
Judges Kelly and Carpenter are said
to be favorably dlspoed to the propo
sition. It was presented to Judge Kd
wards this week and be Is considering
It. He gave no Indication of his views
In the matter.
THANE SAID HEWAS SHOT
Exhibited a Wound on His Heicd
Which Ho Got in Raymond
Court Yesterday.
Teter Thane, who lives In the 600
block, North Main nvenue, received
treatment at tho Lackawanna hospi
tal yesterday for a wound In his head,
which he claimed was made by a shot
tired by a negro In the 300 block of
Haymond court, shortly before noon.
Dr. Claude Walker declared that It
looked more like the results of a knlfo
cut than of a tevolver bullet.
After being treated at the hospital.
Thane, who had been Imbibing rather
finely, reported ithe caso at police
headquarters, telling Ills troubles first
to Mounted Ofllcer Joseph Itloch nnd
later to Superintendent Frank Rob
ling. He was unable to tell who has as
sailant was or give any accurate de
scription of htm. "I was walking
down tho alley," he remarked dog
gedly, "and I fell In with a hull bunch
of coons about 11.30 o'clock. I got
talking with one of them nnd first
thing 1 knew he pulled out a gun and
blazed away nt mo."
"Indeed," quoth the chief, "and what
did you say to him that could have
provoked thh outburst."
"Why," nnsweted Thane, who ap
peated just a little hazy on the score,
"I think I called him a ," whereat
ho repeated a very uncomplimentary
reference to the parentage of the col
ored man whi h ho had made, and all
the mystery as to the hitter's reason
fot firing was effectually removed.
He was of the opinion, however, that
the levolver was loaded with blanks
nnd that It was one nf these that
struck him. An examination nf his
head failed to reveal any Indication of
tlnped hair or powder blackening, and
Superintendent Itobllng Is somewhat
of the opinion that Thane was struck
In the head with the revolver butt,
and the weapon discharged Into the
alt to frighten him.
Superintendent Itobllng nccompanlen
Thane to the scene of his affray, but
nt the time van unable to discover
the assailant.

Siranton, Pa , July i,
S. D. Martino's Statement,
F.ditor of The Tribune.
Sir: Coniderahlc has been printed In local
papeu recently concerning the arret of S, I). Mar
tino on a charge of toiging the name of O Oblcl,
the aecretaiy of the Victor Cmanuel lociety, to
u notice of the death of a member. A certain
Sunday paper nf a few daji ago in devoting near
ly a column of spaie to the question puldir-hed
a number of niia-ktalements that 1 think should
be denied and cone ted.
The paper in quridlnn makes it appear tint
Mr Martmo really did lt;n the name of Ohicl
to the death notice referred to. A. a matter of
fact the nime of Olilot waa added to the notice
without the dolie or knowledge of Mr. Martino.
The printer had a blank foim of notice and the
list previous one contained the name of Oblcl.
In addiric the mine of Mr. Martino n president
the printer forgot to lift out the name of Obicl,
and that is why Obici'. name appeared on the
death notice to which (no eecrotaiy has taken
exception On account of the piiutcr'a enor
Mr. Ma'tino waa arrnigncd before Aldciman Rud
dy on a charge of foigery and held in bill to an
swer tn comt.
The whole trnible ain.ee over the burial of
member, and the contrariness ef the secretary
In not consenting to any arrangement tint would
accommodate the members In attending the fune
ral of a dead Hunmruv member. In the end, de.
spile the report to the contiarj', tho Hunmorc
member was buried in the moinlng and tho ecu
tral cilv member in the afternoon of the same
div, and all the membeu, with a few exception,
attrnded both eniro, I desire It known that l
acted as I did klmply In tho interest, of all
the membeu of the Mclety and regard the charge
of forgery mado a. more ol an Insult to the M
eiely than to mjiself. In view of the facta, the
chaige of forgery raised Is ridiculous. I also
object to the bleach of faith shown by Obicl (n
inilting me to Oblcl'i store, and then meeting
there with a constable armed with a warrant for
my arrest. S, V. Martino.

TWO THOUSAND
DENIED FEES
INSOLVENTS CAN'T COLLECT
mOM THE COUNTY.
Big Savinp; Effected by tho Nowly
Created Oflleeof Witnoss Clerk No
More Drawing of Poos for Two
Canos on the One Day, nnd No Ono
Man Can Get a Dollar for Working
for tho Commonwealth Who I
Owing the County Any Costa,
Other Court Matters,
In the little more than a year tint
tho county commissioners havo had a
"witness clerk" engaged, the county
has been saved, nccordlng to Clerk
Million's estimate, $7,000 directly, and
probably as much more Indirectly.
There was no question at any time
but that the creation of this olllee
would be an economy. The only ques
tion was as to how much ot a saving
would be effected.
Hefore the establishment of this of
fice, witnesses would come Into court
on several cases nnd draw a dollar o
day for each case. Very frequently
a caso Is set down for Monday but
will not ho teaohed until Friday.
When this occurred formerly, the wit
nesses, as a rule, would put In a
claim for fees for every day from
the day the case was on the list to
the day It was tried.
Only about one out of every fifty
persons on whom costs are Imposed do
not take advantage of tho insolvency
laws to escape payment, Tho same
day they would swear they wero In
solvents and thetoby put the costs on
tho county, they would go down to
the commissioners' efllce nnd get a
warrant for foes as a witness for the
commonwealth. In almost every mu
nicipality In the county there was a
crowd of barrators who faked up cases
of a more or less trivial nature for tho
solo purpose of having a loaf for a
week In Scranton at the expense of
the county.
STRONr. HKKOHR GRAXD JURY.
They would make out a strong case
befote the grand Jury but when It
came to the trial they would be Just
weak enough to have the prosecution
defeated, and the county, either di
rectly or Indirectly, saddled with the
costs.
Xow all this Is changed. No witness
can get fees If he does not register
with Clerk Million every day and be
on hand punctually when the case Is
called. If a caso Is set down for
Tuesday and It Is seen it will not bo
reached until Friday, the district at
torney announces tho fact nnd no fees
will be paid in thnt case for Wednes
day or Thursday.
If a witness Is summoned on more
than one case, ho can draw fees and
mileage on only one case. This is a
particularly sad blow- to the magis
trates and constables from a distance,
who were wont to draw fees and mile
age on two or three cases in the one
day.
But it Is in the nintter or Insolvents
that the greatest direct and Indirect
saving Is made. Kvery Insolvent since
tho day the county was organized Is
on recoid In tho commissioners' ofllce.
When a person comes In, now, with
a bill for fees or mileage, this recoid
Is appealed to, and If It is found that
he w.is ono time saddled with costs
which ho avoided paying by pleading
Insolvency, Mr. Mahon courteously In
forms him that his claim will be
placed to his credit on the account he
la owing, and that tie can draw no
money from the county until ho has
squared bis old account.
WON'T COME AGA1X.
That man Isn't going to como into
court again If he can help It. Ho
doesn't relish tho idea of paying rail
road fare, losing time and spending
good money at restaurants Just to
work out what he owed the county
in some costs that he supposed the
county had forgotten all about long
ago. Thus those barrators above re
ferred to ate discouraged from fak
ing up cases for, as a rule, they some
time or another were saddled with
costs, and they know that It Is always
there to confiont them when they face
tho witness clerk,
Mr. Mahon's book containing tho
names of persons whose claims for
witness fees have been refused, during
tho last year, because of their havlnf
!n days gone by declared themselves
Insolvents nnd put the costs on the
county, has nearly 2,000 entries.
Before the ndvent of the witness
clerk these 2,000 persons would havo
drawn anywhero from Jl to $10 in
fees. Thanks to the witness clerk, not
one of them drew a cent, and what Is
best of all, none of them will come
Into court again unless they are
dragged there.
There Is some talk of transferring
the witness clerk from the commis
sioners' to the controller's office. In
Luzerne, ho is an attache ot the latter
ofllce.

FOURTH OF JULY FIRES.
Only Two Alarms Sourlded During
tho Entire Day,
There were only two Fourth of July
fires, ono in Orcen Itldge nnd tho other
In West Scranton.
Tho first was at 2.30 yesterday af
ternoon nt the residence of A, H,
Mackay, corner of Penn nvenue and
Oreen Itldgo street. Flames bioke out
In a clothes closet on the ground floor,
In some unknown manner, while the
family were at Nay Aug park.
Neighbors sent In an alarm from
box rS, bringing the (Jenernl Thlnney
and Liberty, companies to the scone.
Much difficulty wan experienced In lo
cating tho heart of the blaze, nnd as
a consequence about $1,000 worth of
damage resulted from fire and water.
The building Is owned by A. C. Net
tlnton nnd Is Insured.
Tho nlarm of fire sounded shortly
after midnight from box 32, was
caused by a hlazo at the small con
fectionery store of Mrs. Stevens at
South Main avenue nnd Hampton
street. A large amount of fireworks In
the window were Ignited by a Chinese
lantern falling upon them.
Druggist D, M, Jones discovered the
fire nnd using a small hose extin
guished It 'before the rrrrlvn! of the
fire companies. Tho damage was but
slight.
Chief Zlzclmann had his fire fighters
In trim to do heroic work If occasion
demanded, but, fortunately, only a
few of the companies were called upon
to make n run.
BAND STAND IS FINISHED
The Free Concerts Which It Was Ex
pected Would Be Given Thero
Have Not Maternlized.
Considerable disappointment has been
felt among the members of tho Bicycle
club since tho completion of their band
stand, at the refusal ot Bauer's band
to give weekly concerts.
The stand was completed about two
weeks ago. It ha'lng been erected with
tho sole purpose In view of being util
ized for a weekly band concert free for
the club nnd the general public. Previ
ous to work being started upon it, Mr.
Bauer was asked whether he would bo
willing to give a concert once a week,
if the club furnished him a stnnd, and
Is declared to have signified his will
ingness. Whereat the club mado arrangements
with Mrs. Atherton. who owns the largo
lot at Ollvo street and Washington nve
nue, Immediately adjoining the club
house, nnd set to work to transform
the long, sloping piece of ground Into a
hand-ball couit and site for a band
stnnd.
Tho necessary funds came out of tho
pockt-ts of tho club members, who en
tertained visions of warm summer
nights spent on their poich, reclining
nt ease In comfortable chalis, their feet
on tho railing, while from tho stand
nearby floated the brisk airs heard in
winter at the successful operas of the
year.
The hand-ball court cost the least,
most of tho funds being1 devoted to the
stand, which l now proving a soit of
white elephant on the hands of tho
club. The band belongs to the Music
ians' union, and has scruples against
free concerts. Hence the hitch.
DIED PROM POISON.
Aged John Howey, of Green Ridgo
Takes a Dose of Laudanum
While in Bed.
John Howry, ot Dotty street, aged
CO j ears, died last ecnlng from the ef
fects of a draught of laudanum.
He went to bed early In the day. The
family supposed ho was suffering from
the heat and did not disturb him nt
dinner time.
About 5 o'clock, when nn attempt
was made to arouse him, It was found
that he was In a Btupor. An empty
laudanum bottle was found beside his
bed.
Dr. Charles Thompson, of 612 East
Mniket street, made efforts to revive
him, but they were unavailing. Ho died
nt 6.30 o'clock. The doctor diagnosed
the case as opium poisoning.
Whether the laudanum was taknn
medicinally or with suicidal Intent can
not bo said.
M'VITTIE WAS LAME.
Escaped Prisoner Unable to Sprint a
Short While Ago.
A peculiar Incident in connection
with Frank McVlttle. the fleet-footed
young man who made his escapo from
tho Centre street station Wednesday
night, is that only a short time before
he claimed to bo suffering acutely
from nn injury of the foot and other
troubles, which greatly hindered his
powers of locomotion.
His name was on the trial list at
the last quaiter sessions, on tho
chargo of forgery, preferred by Chief
Bobllng. When the time arrived for
tho trial of his case, his physician,
Dr. McGruvey, announced that Mc
Vlttle was suffering from an injury of
the foot and wns unable to attend.
Police Surgeon Fulton therefore
visited at tho young man's home and
found him walking wltli such a raln
ful limp that It would have been bar
baric to force him to leave the place.
Sergeant Edwards swears that If thero
was anything the matter with Mc
Vlttle's running gear then, that It
has been amply repaired.

WAS AN OPPRESSIVE DAY
Though the Higest Marking of the
Thermomoter Was Ninety De-
grees It Seemed Warmer.
Yesterday could not by any means
bo called cool or autumnal, but still
the climatic conditions were far from
being as terribly oppressive as some
Independence Days have been In this
city of yore. Tho natural conditions
were very comfortable, compared to
those of tho past several days, but of
course a great amount of artificial
heat was generated by tho fireworks
used in celebration of tho day, and
tho smoking half-consumed giant
crackers or smaller members ot the
sumo family, which littered tho
streets, caused an incrense In the
markings of central city thermome
teis. The highest temperature recorded by
Observer Clarke's official thermome
ter was 90 degrees at 4. SO o'clock. The
ordinary Individual who reads this
statement will promptly remark that
ho knows better, that the thermome
ter hanging under tho vines on his
front porch, in the deepest kind of
a thade, recorded 97 degrees nnd the
weather man who says tt was only 9U
is entirely too cold-blooded for this
section of tho country.
However, Mr. Clarke ought to, and
does know, what he discourses of. At
8 a. r..., it was only 74 above, and at
10 o'clock SI in the shade. At noon
tho mtrcury avow'ed that It was 87
above and the same temrcrature was
rncordQd at 2 o'clock. The great
amoun' of humidity In tho atmosphere
made tho heat seem greater than It
really was.
A tew drops of rain fell about 2
o'clock, and they were at first believed
to bo the forecasters of a welcome
