And now Deo. 2", lS9s,at 9 o'clook a. in., court oonvonod samo day, opinion of ttio court read, providing tbat the contest was not without probable cause and directing tbat the costs be paid by the District, to be apportioned when fully adjusted between the counties of Wyoming and Sullivan according to the assess ed valuation of property in said counties. Exceptions noted lor the county commissioners of Wyoming county and tho lax payors of Sulli van county. Now, Doe. 27. 1895, it is ordered that exceptions to tho bills of costs of record be filed within twenty days from this date, or otherwise that tho same bo taxed as they now stand subject to any corrections and re v* on for clerical errors and the duplication of witnesses. I$Y Til E CoUllT. Judges Arohbald and Seavlo the honorable tribunal hearing the J udiolal eontost caso in tho 44th judicial distriot read their opinion in open court on Friday Inst con cerning who shall pay the costs of the proceedings. It was a lengthy opinion. Judgo Archbald said it wasn't quite in proper slmpo and that he would take it homo with him and have llio stenographer copy it and forward the same to Mr. Walsh, our prothouotary, Monday, At this writing (Wednesday) tho paper is not tiled of record, henoo we nro un able to give tho contents of the samo to our readers. Tho opinion scores the instigators of tho proceedings and the petitioners, but because there were 525 illegal votes cast at the '94 election, tho oauso being bribary and otherwise tho opinion read tbat tho court could not con sistently ptaco the costs on the petitioners. As will be noticed by the above order of the court, tho costs will be paid by tho district aud will bo apportioned according to the assesbed valuation of property in each county. J. E. Gallagher, Com. clerk infornls us that the assessed valuation of Sullivan county is about #1,900,000 and Wyoming $3,000,000. Tho costs of the contest is now esti mated at $ 12,000, proportioned ac cording to valuation would fix our share tit about $4,500 and Wyoming at £7,;">00. Wo will publish the opinion of tho court iu our next isstte. Tho time fixed for the next meet* in« of the court, fs' January 28th, at 0 a. iu., when the exact amount of tlio cost will be known ami adjusted. This is thought, will bo the final meeting of the court hearing the ease. We addressed 93 bills to delin quent subscribers owing us two years or more, lust week, and what do you think tho total footing of those 98 statements was? Just $951.67. This total is only about one-third of the amount of subscription duo us. A lew of those thus addressed have responded to our call, while a large number of thorn have remained as silent as the gruve. We think wo have treated our subscribers kindly iu this matter, as will be noticed by a glance thai the average amount due from each of the US delinquents is jc.t and over, or 1 years subscrip tion. We dislike to place these accounts in other hands for collec tion. but what can wo dot We must have our money tho same as any other man iu business. We would advise you to remit and save cost.
