OTINQ under tho sup
position that your
columns will bo filled
witli more interesting
reading matter to day,
I will deal with only
two or thrco subjoctj In
this communication
which may provo of
Biiccial intorest. Tho
first Is tho case of J,
W. Johnson and F. W. Wilson against tho
ot. ucorgo's Lithuanian Catholic church of
your town and of which Rev. C. Ambromaites
is pastor. Suit was brought by tho plalntltls
against tho church peoplo to recover tho
balance of tho contract money for building
uio now church on Jardln street with tho
Dolly arden front. It is a fancy lookiug
building and would have boon a far better
job if built entirely of stone or brick and had
loss ginger bread trimmings about it But
there it is, and the confiding congregation
must tako it as It Is aud py for it, becauso
tho plans and specifications woro followed to
tlio lcttor and there is no use in "kicking
against tlio pricks," wo aro told In tho good
UOOK.
Alter arbitrating their difficulties for sov
oral uays aud ouo night with W. D. Seltzer,
Esq., on tho sido of tho plaintiffs, and R. II.
Ivoch, tsq., for tlio church (and by the way
uick always Btanus up for tho church),
censors cnonts won nnd got an award of
7,2o!).G7, and tho plaintiff's hill of costs alono
amounts to $110, so that it will take a good
round sum to appeal tho caso to court. And
as it is pretty certain to go to a jury I shall
havo nothing more to say about it until ti-at
tiiuo, except to mako tho remark that it is a
great pity that all such difficulties could not
bo sottlod without tho intervention of tho
law.
IS TIIEKE A COOKTV AUDITOR OFFICE?
i uo noi want to cut down tho ambition of
Johu E. Doylo, of your town, tho younccst
and perhaps tho handsomest candidate for
County Auditor by Democratic favor, by ono
foul swoop, but if tho second and fifteenth
sections of tho hill "creation tho ofll nf
County Controller" aro interpreted corrcctlv
by some of our lawyers, tho otllco to which
Mr Doyle aspires and to secure which ho has
had his handsome "phiz" sont out to the sub
scribers of his Sunday paper, will bo no loucor
an ofllco after next January.
The Ant section reads, "That tho qualified
voters of oach of the counties of tho Common
wealth containing 150,000 inhabitants, as
shown by tho last preceding decennial con
ous, shall elect on tho first Tuesday after tho
Ilrst Monday of November, 1803, and tricu-
nially thereafter in place of County Auditor,
ono citizen of each of said counties to servo as
controller of said comity for a term of three
years, or until his succosaor shall be qualified
it he so long shall behavo himself well."
By tho 15th soction of tho Controller act all
duties dovolvedon tho County Auditors by the
act of April 15, 1831, and all powers conforred
on them "by said act shall be performed and
oxerciscd by the County Controller, su far as
regards county accounts and stato taxes for
which tho county is or may bo liabio, aud all
other accounts of tho treasurer with the Com
mouwcaltb thall bo audited by tho auditor of
accounts of prothouotarles, clerks, tt cetera.
appointed by the Court of Common Pleas un
dor tho act of 21st of April, 1816, and its supplements.
TOO BAD, IF THUC.
Now if those sectlous aro to be interpreted
"so that Instead of County Auditjis a County
uontrollcr is created and all the duties of tho
County Auditors are taken away, by tho act,
trom tne Uouuty Auditors and made the
duties of tho Controller, what splace ehall the

HERE Is mnch uneasi
ness among tho Con
stables and othor of
ficials of town over tho
presont condition of tho
lockup. They any tho
placo is practically use
less forthoconflnomont
of prisoners chnriral
with serious crimes, as thoy can bo released
from tho plaeo by frionds with littlo dlfllculty.
During tho past week thrco prisoners escaped.
and they aro all notorious characters. Onn
was put in tho lockup at night by Constablo
Boland and when tho Constable went nit,.
him in tho morning ho was gone.
Wednesday night Constable Toomoy locked
up two Hungarians on charges of assault
with intent to kill and robbery and tho next
morning tho coll was found empty. Ail
thoso oscapos were kopt ouiot In thn hn
that If publicity was withheld the escaped
prisoners couiu ne moro easily recaptured,
but tho officers are now convinced that ull
tho fugitives are out of tho town and wilt not
bo in a hurry to return.
Tho method by which tho rescues aro made
vo y simple. A small ladder or count,, nf
kegs, of which there is generally a sunnlir In
the yard, enables one to reach tho window at
mo siuo ot tho outer lockup door. Ouo of
tho iron bars which were placed across the
window are missing aud by lifting from tho
hooks tho steam heating pipes which cross
tho window on tho lusldo, a cood-siml mm
can crawl in and drop into tho corridor upon
nich the coll doors open: a few blows ,.r
hammer is sufficient to break tho oyo-bolt to
whl h tho coll locks aro chained nfl !,
prisoners aro free.
An officer said to-day that it Is hichlv In,.
portaut that tho lockup should rocoivo lm
mediate attention. Tho desperate churns
aro becoming bolder and moro nnmorons
every day aud to havo no placo In which
thoy can bo securely imprisoned
gives them encouragement. Said this officer,
" What la really needed at the place la a night
..oieumuu, ,or no matter how socuro the
Council may make the lockup tho dosperato
characters wo havo in town will weaken tho
precautions and bo ready to mako rescues
when they are least expected and will do the
most harm."
When a watchman was suggested the
officer's attontion was called to tho fact that
tho police force was increased somo timo ago
in order to give a spare man to the borough
building. Tho response to this was that tho
extra officer was also supposed to do patrol
duty and should he become ongagod in a caso
outside the building and lockup are left with
out protection. The officer making this
suggestion ii not a mombor of tho paid police
force.
