t'MlllONl Court,
In ro: Contested election of E. M.
Dunham, No. S3 .Deo. term 189-1.
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.
