- RE. INI IN A.
Judge Pershing Declares That Their
Election Was Illegal.
WILL APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Lawyer Schalck S ys Ho Believes the
Decision Ousts the Justices and That the
Governor Will Fill the Positions
Until the Next Spring Election.
Another chapter wai this morning aililcil to
tho lltteition over tho Justiceships of this
borough by a decision rendered at tho Potts
vlllo court by Judgo Pershing deciding that
At. J. Hawlor and J. J. Cardln wero not
legally elected Justices of this borough last
spring.
Tho following is tho decision In tho cuso of
Mr. Lawlor and n similar ono wai at tho same
time filed In tho caso of Mr. Girdin :
"And now. October link 18!H). it is hereby
ordered and decreed that tho election of
Martin J. Lawlor to tho ollico of Ilorotm h
Justlco of tho l'caco of tho liorough of Shen
andoah, at an election held on tho third
Tuesday of February. lfelill. bo declared il
legal ami set aside, for want of compliance
with too election lawsol this Commonwealth.
Anil It U further decreed that tho said Martin
J. I.iiwlor has no lawful right to hold: and
exercise tho duties of said ollico by virtue of
any supposed election thereto, at tho time
before mentioned, and that ho pay tho cost
vi uus proceeding, m- um court, imi
sealed. C'ykuh L. I'kushikii,
President Judge,
A. W. Schalck, F.sq., tho counsel for tho
prosecutors in the wise, stated this afternoon
that under tho decision Messrs. Uiwlor and
Cardln aro ousted from their positions of
Itorough Justices and, consequently, there
aro now vacancies in the positions which will
bo filled by Governor Hastings appointing
temporary Justices until next Spring, when
tho people will bo called upon to fill tho
ollices at tho regular election.
Mr. Schalck was askeil what cll'ect an
appeal would have and ho hiiid that, while ho
believed Messrs. Lawlor and Cardiu would
have the right to take tho case to tho Supremo
Court on a certiorari, and that they would do
so, ho did not think such a proceeding would
opcriito as a stay and keep them in ollicc
until after tho appeal could bo disused of.
When interviewed this afternoon Justice
Curdin said an appeal would be taken and ho
felt confident tho decision would bo reversed
on error.
Judgo Pershing's decision emphasizes two
very important points ill connection with tho
Haker ballot law. It holds that the only
legal ballot under that law is tho ono pre.
pared and sent out by tho County Commis
sioners. They aro tho olllcial ballots and u
citizen can put on tho ollidal ballot the name
of soiuo candidate ho may wish to vote for
under tho head ot somo ollico that is named
on the ollicial ballot, but no citizen can vote
for u candidate for some olllce which ho gets
Into his head should be filled.
Another point decided is that no proclama
tion was issued notifying tho people of the
candidacies for thoolllce.sof liorough Justices,
or that auyono was to be elected to fill either
of the ollices ; and that In the latter case
only 10O out of 1,000 votes wero cast for
Messrs. Lawlor and Cardln,

tho HiwttliR of tjn directors nf tho Catho

ho private, and tho proent Indications aro
that no authoritative Information ns to
the choice of Hishnp Koano's sticcossor
will bo nindo public after tho mooting or
until the popo has acted on tho recommen
dation of tho directors. Tho meeting of
tho archbishops befrins on Thursday morn
Inn at tho same place, but this has to do
With tho general uttalrsof tho church, and
not with tho university. It Is expected
that Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop
Williams, of lloston, will b3 tho jjuostsof
tha university.
Although tho mooting of tho university
directors Is near at hand, there npponrs to
ho no crystallziitlon on any naino for tho
rectorship to succeed Bishop Kenne. Ob
jections aro raised to most of tho names al
ready mentioned In tho press, and In uni

has Hot como from thoso who will havo a
voice In thu selection.
Very Hev. Auirustln K. Howlt, of Now

bo tdo far iidvanced In yours to undertake
tho arduous work of nianagliig the uni
versity. One of tho nieniborsof tho board
has stated that It was at least settled that
n mini In tho prime of life would boehusun.
Moreover, Father Howlt belongs to tho
l'aullst order, and thus far tho university
has been directed by tho secular clergy
outside of tho orders. Concerning Illshops
Horstman of Cleveland, Hacon of Georgia,
Montgomery of California and Spalding
of Peoria, It Is said that tho polio's letter
stating that "rotation in ollico" shall pre
vail at tho university will make It inex
pedient for any bishop or archbishop to
uccoilt tho place, as tho next rector Is as
sured of being "rotated" out uf ollico after
