that the place was almost packed with In

The fire Is supposed to havo originated at a

Ms.de
to
The Supreme Court at Philadelphia yester
day handed down a deo'slon declaring that
tho elections of Borough Justices as made in
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City In the spring
of 1880 were illegal, which will require
Messrs. Coyle and JoneR, of the latter place,
and Lawjor and (Jardin, of tills place, to
abdicate the positions they have claimed
under the said elections and commissions for
flvo years issued under the returns by
Governor Hastings.
OPINION OP TUB COUttT.
Chief Justice Stenett read (fee opinion iu
tho case of Martin J. Lawlor, of Shenandoah.
In pissing upon the question Chief Justice
Sterrttt. among other things, mm :
"There Is no authority In thof ectlon law,
or elsewhere, for thus voting for a pmvon to
fill an office, tho name or tlUa, of which is
not designated on the oillolal ballot prepared
for tho itso of ofllcial voters. It is the duty
of those specially charged with kite prepara
tion and distribution of the official ballots to
see that tho namo or title of every ofhVe, to
be filled at the forthcoming ehtlon, Ii dis
tinctly designated thereon as th election l.iw
specifically requires. The olifious reason
why the office of 'Borough Justice of the
Peace was not so designated 6fi the ballot
prepared for (ho use of voters at tho olictlon
In question, is because no suofl officer was
authorized to bo phoscn at that time, as the
court below directly held. IMt had hcen
otherwise, the title of the offica iwotiid havo
been proporly-dosfgmjted In cacJi column of
tho official ballot, and if appcllatp's name, as
a candidate for the office of Dorajgh Justice,
etc.. did not anuear on the fhllnt n,,.
desiring to vote lor him could do So by insert- i
ing his name in tho blank or right hand '
corner immediately under the designation of ,
said office. As was said in JlcCoWan Anneal. I
105 Pa. 233, 'The only preaeriticd mode of
voting for persons whose names are not
already on the ballot, is by Inserting their
names in the blank spaces prepafed therefor
iu tho right-hand column of the official
ballot. It is tho name onlv time is to l, ti,
inserted, not the title of the olllt4 to li niiii 1
ino latter is already priuted tboro and
constitutes part of the ballot prepared for tho
uh ui vuicre, eio.
"In that case tho respective titles of all
tho offices to bo filled, or that were voted for,
were properly designated on the official bal
lot, but somo electors conceived the idwi nf
amending the official ballot by preparing a
ngiieuauu coiuinu oi meir own,, containing
titles of tho respective offices to be filled and
the names of candidates for each, and pasted
Also olitftpfljciai oniiot, thus substituting for the latter
tho ticket or columu prepared by themsolvos.
It was there held that, 'To permit tho voter
to procure from OUtsido Darties n. slln finks
or sticker, corresponding in size with said
column and paste the same over the priuted
maiier, as wen as tho man t spaces thereon,
would bo contrary to tho letter as well as tho
spirit of the act.' It would be equally con
trary to both, to sanption what was douo in
this case. The direction of thp act, as to
what tho voter shall do and how it ahull hn
dono, are plain, explicit, and mandatory.
No substantial departure from, those direc
tions can ever bo safely recognized as their
legal equivalent.
"There appears to be no error In tho decree,
and it is therefore affirmed with costs to be
paid by appellant."
The Justices against whom the decisions
are rendered continue to transact business
under their commissions and will have
right to do so until a judgment of ouster is
entered against thorn. Steps In that direc
tion will bo taken by tho prosecution next
Monday.
So far as Messrs. Lawlor, Cardin, Coyle and
Jones are concomed the long drawn out liti
gation over tho standing of the Justices of
the Peace iu Shenandoah and Maham.y City
seems to be at an end. The gruuting of a
judgment of ouster against them is accepted
aau foregone conclusion. But other -com-plloatlons
are to follow, and it is difficult at
this timo'to say when the two boroughs will
have Justices of- the Peace who will bo able
to occupy their seats with full confidence of
uudltputod possession.
It will be remembered that tCo parties
against whom theSupreroo Court has Just do
cided claimed election by virtue of a 'few
votoa oast In each ward of their respoitivo
boroughs and secured commissions fb five
years upon tho retums'of the so-called elec
tion. Tlioy then proceeded to oust tho old
Justices who held office in tho two boroughs
and after a fight through thu Dauphin county
court, followed by an appeal to tho Supremo
Court, Messrs. Toomey, Shoemaker, Dengler,
Williams, Walkor and Bailey, of town,
and tho old Justice's in Mahauoy City
wore obliged to do what the illegally elected
Borough Justices are about to be required to
do abdicate. Meanwhile the old Justices
got together and, through their counsel, A.
W. Schalck and George J. Wadllnger. Esqs,
contested the legality of the elections of
tlioir successors. Judge Pershing, of the
Pottsville court sustained them. So great
was the confidence that the Supreme Court
would sustain Judge Pershing, that at the
last spring election candidates for Borough
Justices of the Peace were nominated and
elected, ex-Justices Toomey and Shoemaker
being the successful candidates iu this town.
The question now is whether they will receive
commissions after the ousters are ordered.
It is claimed by them that wheu Judge
PenUing decided that the Borough Justices
were illegally elected vacancies were created.
It is understood that ex-Justices Williams
and Dei.gler will seek appointments until
tho next spring election, claimiug that no
vacancies existed wheu the last elections
were made.
In conversation with a Hkrai.d reporter
to-day A. W. Schalck, Esq., said: "I don't
know whether it is safe to say that there
will be no future complications. It is this
way. The court below, having decided the
elections Illegal, declined to issue a writ of
ouster until the Supreme Court would affirm
the decision. Next Monday Mr. Wadllnger
and myself will ask for writs of ouster aud
and there will then be vacancies to
fill. Of course, iu the spring Messrs.
Shoemaker aud Toomey were "elected
Justices and they wi 1 claim their
commissions fur the full term of five years.
The question will be raised as to whether, or
not, vacancies existed at the time of the
elections and whether, or not, their elec
tions were illegal, or valid. It they are sus
tained, of course commissions will be issued
to them. If they are not sustained, the
Governor will appoint Justices for one year,
or until the next spring election."

The Colorado Senator, the Ex-Vice Presi
dent and tho Well Known New Eng
land Yachtsman Will no to
foreign Countries to
Urge Co-optration.
Washington, April IS. The president
last night announced the appointment
of Senator Edward O. Wolcott, of Col
orado, Hon. Charles J. Paine, of Boston.
' and ex-Vice President Adlal E. Steven
son as commissioners to an interna
tional monetary conference. These ap
pointments are made under the act ap
proved March 3 last "for the promotion
of an International agreement for bi
metallism," and by its provisions the
appointees do not reijulre conflrma-
I tlon by the senate.
I It has been generally conceded that
Senator Wolcott would be made a mem
ber of the commission. He has been
an active leader In the movement for
I a monetary agreement, and widely
I known as an advocate of the silver
cause. His trip to Europe last summer
was generally conceded to be at least
I seml-ofllctal, as' the representative of
tne new administration. His tour ex
tended over several months, and em
braced the leading European capitals.
He had audiences with the more noted
financiers and ministers, and it Is be
lieved then laid the foundations for
the International conference which the
commission Just appointed will en
deavor to bring; to a conclusion. Sen
ator Wolcott is now serving his second
term in the senate, having been elected
to that body In 1886. While a pro
nounced blmetalllst, he was a staunch
supporter of the St. Louis ticket.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson, the
Democratic member of the commission,
though geneially known as an advo
cate of bimetallism, was a staunch
supporter of Bryan and the Chicago
platform. He and Senator Wolcott, 1
however, nre said to be In accord on
the flnancfru question.
General Omrles J. Paine, who may
D9 tffloned the minority member, Is a
Republican, and was a McKinley man.
He Is one of the most prominent busi
ness men of Massachusetts, and is said
to be a deep student of the financial
question. While he Is classed as a sup
porter of bimetallism based on Inter
national agreement, he Is regarded as
allied with the sound money faction.
He Is a graduate o Harvard, being a
member of the class of "53. General
Paine Is largely .Identified with rail
roads and other corporations. He Is a
man Of large wealth, and is probably
best known to tho public at large as
one of the syndicate of gentlemen who
built the cup defending yachts Puritan,
Mayflower and Volunteer. It is a fact
not generally known that General
Paine accompanied Senator Weleott on
his European trip last summer, and as
sisted him in that work. It is believed
that he went abroad with Senator Wol
cott with the understanding that he
was to be made a member of the com
mission. It is not yet known when the com
missioners will meet and organize.
When an organization is effected, how
ever, it Is believed that Senator Wol
cott will be made president. It is au
thoritatively stated that the commis
sioners will not go abroad before May
1. Iiv which time the hmv nmlmnandnrn
will be' at their posts and render the
special envoys the assistance necessary
in the consummation of their mission.
