The news, welcome to the County
Commissioners and the people, came
Tuesday that the Supreme Court sitting
in Philadelphia, i.n Monday affirmed the
decree of Judge Criswell in the case of
the County of Veuango vs the Penn
Bridge Co., involving the proposed
bridge across the Allegheny river at
Keunerdell. This is most welcome tid
ings to the people of the countv, for it
means that steps will at once be taken
to proceed with the erection of the Ken
nerdell bridge. The Commissioners
will now be read} - and free to go ahead.
The decree in favor of the county is
based on the fact that the former con
tract had never been approved by the
court. Thereby cingularly enough, the
taxpayers are to profit by the oversight
of their own servants, the Board of
Commissioners —Venango Spectator.

At Washington. Monday, the U. S.

Court in its judgment fining Senator
Burton $2.">00, and sentencing him to
nine months in jail. Senator Burton
was convicted nnder the law which pro
hibits any Senator or Representative to
practice before the executive depart
ments. Many legal experts have held
that the law acts automatically and
that when all legal recourse had been
exhausted and Mr. Burton actually be
came a convict, he would cease to be a
Senator, as the statute declares that no
one convicted of its violation can ever
hold office under the United States
Government,

Mrs. Samuel G- Elliott, weighing
almost 400 pounds, of near Huntington,
W. Va.. was arrested, Friday, on a
warrant charging her with inhuman
treatment of a stepdaughter.
"Woll, 1 will not go to court," said
Mrs. Elliott to the constable, "unless
you take me by force."
As Mrs. Elliott is practically unable
to walk, owing to her portliness, the
officer is baffled. It is next to impossi
ble to move her, hence the situation is
puzzling.
