Judges Green and Ileclitel llenr Argu ment on Motion to Juntth. Court room No. 2 was crowded on Saturday to hear tho arguments on tho motion to quash tho indictments against the County Com missioners, Cont'actor Taylor, Architect Becbe and others. Tho arguments wcro to have been heal d by the court in lane, but Judgo Pershing was engaged hearing an im portant caso which had been called Friday, and was unablo to bo present. C. 8. Bowser, Esq., of Butler, F. W. Bech tol, Esq., and Hon. John W. Ryon appeared for Messis. Taylor and Beebo. Phil. Connell was represented by John A. Nash and S. II. liaercncr, f.sqs., who argued that It was questionable whether tho court had tho au thority to appoint Commissioners, by reason of tho fact that the indictment is based upon tho testimony taken before Joseph E. Pat terson in tho investigation concerning tho appointment of Warden Martin. Walter Stevenson, who is also charged with making deals, arising out of the publication of tho mercantile appraisers list was represented by Joseph W. Moyer, Esq. lohu A. Naih, Esq., also appeared for John Bowes, janitor of the court houso, who is charged with receiving money for procuring work for certain partios from tho Commis sioners. Mr. Nash argued that tho Indict ments should be quashed, fur tho leason that his client occupied no such position that he could txtorshely demand any money or valuables fiom any peison. ! S. M. Entorltnc, Esq., who represented Ex County Commissioner Geo. D, Moyer, argued that Mr, Moyer could not bo held to answer tho indictment, as ho was out of olllco befoie tho settlement for tho new court houso was mads with the contractor and archetict. A. W. Schalk, opened for tho common wealth. Tho authoiities oitcd in support of the indictments were numerous and to the point, lie answered tho many arguments that wcro made against the report of tho County Auditors uiiou which tho Indictments wcro bused. Ho defended tho action of the Auditors and argued that their special reports had been properly mado t tho Court of Quar ter SoeSluhs iustoad of tho Court of Common Pleas. Hofoiclbly stutcd his reasons why the action taken by tho District Attorney under tho supervision of the court, should be sus tained and pertinently asked, "What private citizen In our population of IC0.000 would ho willing to father these prosecutions, and stand all tho expeuso and worrlmenl ? Wo elect tho District Attorney to represent us in just such ease as this; wo elect County Auditors to Investigate just as they investi gated in this case." Mr. Schalk was answered by Mr. Ryon, whoso argument was lucid, alio and eloquent. The decision of the court was not ren dered. CollWit Atiiiuucemeiit.

Titman, who has been a resident of this town lor 2(1 years, will to morrow movo his family to Williamsport, at which place ho intends to make his home for tho future. Mr. Titman has been ouo of our most respected, prominent and enter prising citizens and his departure from our midst Is sincerely regretted by all who havo consideration for the interests of tho town. Ho moves because of his extensive timber land and railway interests in a part of the stato to which Williamsport Is conveniently located and that city will find him an enor getic and tireless citizen who is ready at all tlmo to givo his time aud capital to tho de velopment and progress of industries. He was ono of tho promoters of and subsequent ly president of tho Mahanoy City, Shenan doah, Glrardvillo and Ashland Street Kail way which was recently leased to the Schuyl kill Traction Company and which has al ready so greatly benefitted this valley. Mr. Titman Is Vico President and General Man ager of tho Trout Run Railway. During his connection with this road ho has dis played admirable executive ability and busi ness tact. Tho road was a mill stono before ho took hold of It, but now it is paying well. Mr. Titman is also President and General Manager of tho Oregon & Texas Railroad, which runs from Cammel to Oregon Hill, Lycoming county, aud so succcesfully has ho managed tho affairs of tho road it has been decided to extend it five miles to English Centre. This brief summary will sulllco to show that Mr. Titjnau's departure is far from being a blessing to this place. To loso such an enterprising and energetic citizen is cer tainly a source of regret, but wo aro pleased to learn that ho will retain tho several thousand dollars worth of property ho has hero aud that his timber interests in con nection with the collieries in this section will require him to visit hero four or five times a week and that we will have ample oppor tunities to greet him in tho futuro. For the present wo will say that wo wish h.'m and his family abundant success at Williamsport. l'UKSONAI.. S. A. Beddall spent yesterday in Pottsville, T. C. Waters went to Pottsvlllo this monv Ing.

DUT5T ON COAL. II Taken oil", How It Would Affect the American Article. Dow, Jones & Co.'s circular takes up tho subject of the proposed removal of the duty on coal and finds that "tho only coal fields outside of tho United States which aro in any way competitive aro those of Nova bcotla and Vancouver. In both regions the development and method of operation is ex ceedingly crude. In the Nova Scotia region. owing to tho location of tho deposits, pro unction can do made at a very low cost. In a number of notable instances tho coal can be mined and run directly into vessels. It is estimated that tho cost laid down at New England ports is $1.50 per ton. The oualltv , hi , , .

If it were admitted freo of duty it could sell on the samo basis as at present at about $1.85.

E. church on Sunday morning was for tho special benefit of the young. Copies of "Pentecostal Hymus" wcro distributed through tho congregation, which joined hcartly with the children In. the singing. The sermon, which was divided in two by tho singing of a hymn, nits on the duty and blessedness of obedience to parents. ' Children, obey your parents in tho lord for this is right. Honor thy father and thy mother, which is tho first commandment with promise, that it may bo well with thee, and thou mayest dwell long upon tho earth. Eph. 6,1-3. The sermon in tho evening was on Noth ing but leaves," Matt. 21-19. : " And when ho saw a fig tree In the way he came to it and found nothing thereon but leaves only, and said unto it, let no fruit grow on thco henco- forward forever. And prosently the fig tree withered away." Tho barren fig tree is an emblem of grace less and fruitless humanity; or that portion of it which while making fair professions are barren of good works. We find, alas, too many Instances in which, under the guise of a religious profession, much that is earthly, sensual, dcvlish is not only cherished but indulged. Wo sometimes find members of tho church keeping saloons, attending theatres, participating in balls, profaning God's name, desecrating His day. One man thinks ho may tako the sacrament in the morning aud play base ball in the afternoon. Another who would not miss .church in tho morning does not scruple to get drunk in tho evening. If all the vestibules of hell, known n.i saloons, which aro kept by church mem bers were closed thero would be very few left. Wo should havo prohibition In most places. Others, whose inconsistencies are no less offensive to God, though loss gross and repulsive to man, find tho samo element of sensuality gratified in evening parties, popu lar games, merely time-killing amnscments. idle gossip, Sunday newspnpers, silly fashion, and an hundred other forms of selfish grati fication, which are antagonistic to tho spirit, of piety. Tho question is not what A or B may think or say concerning the propriety of this or that, but what aro its actual effects upon tho Interior life from which the fruit of the spirit is to grow? Do those professors of re ligion, who indulge in the6e things, usually produce much fruit that remains? Axe they tho persons who influence others to lead bet ter lives? Are they the persons that dying men send for to pray with them? If Jesus , , , . .
