The First ward court has done moro
business since last Saturday than lu the same
period for soveral months past. Justice
Toomoy and Constahlo Glbllu, tho latter
bravoly fighting an attack of grlppo to
perform his olllcial duties, havo had but llttlo
rest day or night. Tho business startod ut
about 5 p. m. on Saturday and tho court did
not closo until 3 a. m. Sunday. Aflcr a brief
nterval it was ro-oponed anil tho session ran
Into the night, when It was again closed, only
to bo ro-oponed early yestorday morning to
receive ball and dlschargo prisoners.
Tho Inst pay day brought a harvest for tho
First Ward court and tho reckoning of dollars
and cents paid lu as costs up to tho present
writing for the past threo days warrants tho
belief that until tho litigants who patronize
thooflico suddenly reform Justlco Toomoy
and his Constablo will soon havo enough
wealth to make them independent of any
politicalotllco within tho gift of tho peoplo.
So say tho obsorvors.
Among tho casos disposed of yesterday was
ono of Frank Rotnanofskl against Joe Gro-
bofsky and Anthony Butkofsky, charging
them with assault and attempting to kill him.
All tho mon boird In nuo houso. Without
any oauso or provocuion, Uomanofski says,
tho lour men made a chargo upon him. Iiu
manski got away by jumping out of a second
story window. Tho. defendants settled tho
caso by paying $." as damagos and tho costs,
Miko Widikus and Anthony Robolcfski
quarreled at their boarding house in tho
First ward and had n regular rough and
tumblo flgbt. John Zclanus attempted to
play the part of a mutual friend and when
trying to separate tho men Robclofski stabbed
him in tho forehead with a fork. Thcro
wero two oasos against Robolefskl and ho
ottlcd them by paying tho costs.

Wahiiinuton, Dec. 18 The Inth lis
come and gone, but Postmaster General
111 well has not relieved tho auxlety of tho
Schuylkill county post nlllco applicants, lie
has had amplo tlmo to consider and digest all
that has btfen prosouted to him by tho Shen
andoah peoplo and nothing remains to bo
done but afllx the signature which is to servo
as notico to l'ostmastor Iloyor of ShenandoOi
that his time is up and somebody else wants
his shoos.
But Iho signature. Ayo! there's tho rub.
It is momentarily oxpectcd, yet no ono will
venture to predict a time. It was counted
upon last week. Friday was to havo been
the day, but tho pen faltered and now there
is nothing to do but wait.
National Chairman Ilarrity arrived horo
tn-day and it may bo that after a brief
consultation he will set lu motion the mill
which grinds out the communions. To
morrow anil Wednesday a largo number of
Presidential poet olllce commissions expire
and if the Administration gets mauy hold
overs on its hands thore will be a howl
among tho hungry applicants that will r.ilio
tho roof of the White House.
Still nothing definito can bo based upon
Mr. Ilarrlty's arrival. Evorybody hero
knows that Mr. Cleveland does buslnoss In
his own way (thoy didn't find it out until
alter his re-oleetion) and in his own time.
If it suits his own convonienco to make the
Pennsylvania appointments this week, well
and good, but if not, then thoro will bo many
disappointments, but no surprisos. As a
matter of fact some say Mr. Hsrrity would be
appointments postponed
tho wavo of
opposition developed against him In tho past
few weeks may recede.
Harrlty is not resting upon a bed of roses
just now and nono of the applicants who rely
upon his backing or that of his favorite
Congressman havo eaueo to rejoice. Llko tho
flamo of a oandlo their hopes may bo blown
out in an instant. 1 his is possible. I do not
say it is probable, but it is certain that some
very strong antl-IIarrity arguments havo
recently been presented to tho President, the
last bilug a tabulated statement of tho
county ollLes lost by tho Pennsylvania
Democracy slnco Mr. Harrlty got hold of tho
machine, and who can doubt that Schuylkill
is lu that statement whon tho rosult of tho
last election is looked back to, C.

In making his address County Superintoii
lent U. W. Weiss, of Schuylkill Haven, sid
hat S5,000,000 had been appropriatod by
lie Legislature to raise tho salarios of tho

quired tho increaso of funds to put the free
text book system in operation, hut noxt year
thoy will havo no excuse and tho salary of
ivery teacher should bo raised. Female
teachers, he said, should bo paid as well as
males.

to havo reached tho point and stands a good
show to secure payment of his claim.
Mr. Robblns first sued tho Association! and

after securing judgment, which wasobtalncd
without objection, lie set about securing
tht names of all who wore stockholders in
tho enterprise; then ho sued thoso stockholders
and yostcrday, Judgo Bechtol handed down
tho following decision:
And now, Decembor IS, 1803, due proof of
