Tub Death or Mas. Lawles. Last week wc
gave an account of tbe death of Mrs. Elizabeth
Lawles, on Scotch Hill, cur articles having been
based on information given to our informant by
Patrick Lawless, the husband of tbe deceased
woman. On Friday Justice Caldwell summoned
a jury oriuquest, composed of John W. Taylor,
K. T. John, Harry Neihoff, John Hinev. John
Newman and Cornelius Raker, and these gentle
men proceeded to Lear testimony. A number of
witnesses were eiamined, among them Dr. Wea
ver, tbe physician who examined the womau af
ter her death, and from tbe testimony brought
igut ii was manifest that Mrs. Lawk bad
j . m uu ueuiu in me manner stated in
our last Usue. Witnesses testified tbat there
was a scuffle between the husband and wife, and
mat a neavy fall was afterward heard. One la
j .
j uau w;d me nusoand with a good deal of
mood on bis sleeves immediately after tbe occur
rence of tbe fall ; aud other testimony, iucludlng
the physician's examination, warranted the Jury
in rendering a Verdict tbat compelled ibe Justice
to make out a commitment for Patrick i-uwles,
and us was accordingly taken Into custody on
Saturday, aud removed to Sunbury. Mrs. Law
les had an ugly cut on the back of ber bead, and
was considerably bruised on one side of her
face. Among tbe evidence brought bafore the j
jury was the story of tbe daughter of Patrick
l-awies, a little girl who was too jtouujc to be
sworn.

Railiioad Accisckt. On Friday evening two
freight trains collided while passing each other
below Halifax. A large rock rolled down tbe
hill and struck the cars, which caused them to
fall 00 tbe second track, ami a general wieck
ensued. A young man named Robinson was
killed, who leaves a family at Marysvllle. The
track was cleared in time to let tbe early train
pass northward after being two hours late.

This statetaeut is ofiered for tbe purpose of
showing tho correctness of the assertions above
made. Upon this form the majority of the board
of Auditors, entirely and alone depeud to pro
duce tbe coriect balance of monies received and
puid oui by ihe Treasurer, c, at I understand
tucm.
Reasons Tor (as will be observed in striking
the balance of the Commissioners' account iu
the following statement) disallowing or reject
ing oue order gruuted, "A. Cadwallader" late
Treasurer, one order to "R. M. Cummings, for
advertising land for salo outside the county.
Also part of aa order granted to the present
Trcusurer, (or rather cash advanced) for paying
all the taxes on land sold by the Treasurer lotbe
Commissioners; also a certain rate percentage
for money borrowed by Commissioners, aud re
paid by "Treasurer. The order granted to A.
Cadwallader, for f 115 88. In January, 1874. (as
the bill represents) was given for the credit al
lowed the couuty, of one per ct. by tbe State
Tress'r, for money paid out of the county fund
to the State by A. ddwailuder, in the year of
1872 and 1873, for which paytneuts he made to
the Stute, he was allowed 2J per cent, la his sel
tlemeut by the Auditors in 1873 au i 1874. Now
if Ibis order is allowed him his percentage will
be ri per cent, instead of one par cent., as 1
think is the law for paying money tn the State
bv County Treasurers. The order granted to R.
M. Cuiuiuiugs, E-q.. for $1087 50, for advertis
ing sa.es ot land outside of county. Said adver
tufing was paid by Mr. Cummings, as he
waa required by agreement, said to have been
made. with tbe Coinmi-siouers. Why Is it, tbi.t
he paid more money into the Treasury than be
wa- required lo do and then e'rew it out again,
if not to increase the Treasurer's percentage. De
ducting said order with tbe percentage ad.leil.
from the amount be paid into the Treasury,
would leave a uet balance remaining of 17042 35.
or ubont forty-two per cent of the whole amount
realized. Tbe order granted to the Treasurer
for paying all the taxes, as above stated, viz: for
County, Poor, Road und School taxes, ut the time
of the sale, amount to 12212 63, and as near as
I could ascertain the basis of this order is made
up of the following items, via : Road, School and
Poor tax, uniouutiug to $1351 45; County tax
$231 03, and 126 deeds, at the rule of $5 00 per
deed, making $630 CO. Treasurer's fees out ot
which the Treasurer to pay for advertising salts.
Now I hold tbe Treasurer can retain said pari
of $?S0 03, county tax, since I cannot see that
h) is charged in the Report of the majority
1 with tbat amount to balance the County tax on
land cold to tut ommissloncr. And at bes', it
seems to me, that lt is ratner a loose aud com
plicated way of munaging sales of laud, by ad
vuncing niouey to the Treasurer, before the luxes
are railed for. Why uol issue the orders (as 1
think tbe law requires) at tbe time, when pay
ment i required to be made, separate and apart
for each towuxbip. instead of advancing the
money, in a single order, mixed tip with county
tax and Treasurer's fees for deeds. The Com
missioners borrow money, the Treasurer pays it
out, for wbicb be gels 2$ per cent. Afterward
money Is paid into the Treasury by the collect
ors. The Treasurer pays it bacg to bank, foi
which be is og.iin allowed 2$ per cent., making
his percentage $500 00 on $10,000 borrowed
money. "Tbe Treasurer shall receive tho ssme
per centum ns was lawfully received by his im
mediate predecessor for like services," act April
18th, 1S74. Tbe Commissioners with the appro
priation ofthe Auditors, shall from time to time
s-.'ttle the rate per cent, of the Treasurer ; which
was neglected by said officials ; consequently the
Treasurer is not governed by any legal pr cent.

I, tbe nndersigued, one of the Auditors of
Northumberland County, State of Pennsylvania,
do certify, that in pursuance of a special Act of
Assembly, passed March 31st, A. D. 1859, mw
the Auditors of the majority report iu tbe Com
uii33iouers' office, on the third Monday of Jan
uary, A. D. 1375, and usoUled them as much as
they desired me to do when present, until they '
bad their report completed according to tbeir
judgmeut or custom, upon tbe expectation that
if their report did not prove satisfactory to cic,
they woulU in return assist ma to complete ono
according to rayjudguteut and seuse of duty;
but In this I was disappointed, because they de
cided doing so. I further certify tbat the-report
of the majority did not prove -atisfactory
to rue, whereupon I did adjourn from time to
lime, and did audit, adjust and state the accounts
of the Treasurer and Commissioners to tbe best
of fny judgment and ability. The available as
sets of the county on the 1st nf January, 1375,
were between sixteen ami seventeen thousand
dollars nbovc the indebted neks. I concluded by
submitting this the minority report to the Hon
orable Court and the public gpneratly, and hop
ing taut If I may have committed any errors
they wiil be satisfactorily corrected, that justice
may be done the County and ail parties Interest
ed, according to law.
