"I don't tako any stock in their mluuto book," ho said. "I board tho ostras read off as thoy camo in. I don't know whether orders wcro passod for thorn." Miss Sabina Flanncry. a school teacher. testified that sho endorsed Institute orders and gavo them to Mr. Qallaghor and Miss Malcy. Sho had no nrrangeuiont about tho matter. Her understanding was that tho proceeds were to go to the catnpalgn. Sho gavo up tho ordors because others had douo and not to galu favor with the School Directors. Michael Deano, of Connors natch, was called, bqt his evidence was brief aud of no importance, as ho seemed to know nothing in connection with tho affairs touched upon in the suit, other than that his daughter teaches school (u tbo township and his daughter, Miss Boso Donne, followed him on tho stand. Sho has been teaching nine veari. Endorsed and gave up 4 or S of her Institute orders. Michael Brcnnan, principal of her school, told her that she could do so If sho wished.

On examination by Mr. Whalon, Mr. Fer guson said ho know a water closot, shed and other work was Included in tho Colorado school houso work, but ho did not know tho amount of tho extras. School Director McLaln was again called to tho stand by Mr. Whalen aud said he received his part of tho $30 order issued to tho direc tors for attending county Instituto last year. Director Dixon received his share. Ho did not endorso tho ordor bocauso ho died before he could. Then ho received his pay before It was en dorsed ? Yes, sir. At tho time they received the money tho order was not drawn for tho amount, and ho received his share as well as somebody else. As treasurer I submitted my nooounts to the audttots, and tho report was adopted. Mr. Whalen: Didn't yon know It was Il legal to accopt ray for attending county Instituto? No, sir.

After the evening's work I culled up Mr. Anderson for tho purpose of getting the address of a mend whom Mr. Anderson and me lalked aliout.

ALL PROMPTLY FURNISH BAIL Meantimo tho Peace of the Anthracite Coal Region is Disturbed by One Small Outbreak, Whleh the Appearance of Militia Quelled. Wllkeibarre, Pa., Sept. 2J. The heal ing In the esse of Sheriff Martin and his deputies, churned with murder in tlio killing ot 24 marching striker at Lat tlmer recently, liaa been concluded, and the aocused men must stand trial. After all the important testimony had been presented yesterday the judges had a conference, and Judge Lynch asked Fell what he wished done. Mr. Fell said: "Under the evidence I think these deputies should be held for court." The Judge then asked why the other deputies were not arrested, ami Senator Kline said some of them went away after the shooting' and have not ueen seen or heard of since. The names of the deputies were called, and to the roll call 73 answered and 12 did not. All those who answered to their names stepped forward and delivered them selves up on a charge of murder. Joseph A. Sinn, renreBeiitlnsc the Citv Trust Safe Deposit- and Surety com pany, of Philadelphia, advanced and became, surety In the sum of $5,000 ball ror each of tho deputies for their at- pearnnce at the next term of criminal court to answer the charge of murder. i-ach of the defendants, through their bondsman, Mr. Sinn, also irnve Sl.nnn ball on an additional chnrce of felon lous wounding. The men then repaired to court room No. 2, where they slgnod their names to the ball pieces, and tho preliminary hearing- came to an end. The amount of ball for the 73 depu ties at $6,000 for murder and $1,000 for felonious wounding- amounts to $138, 000. If the other 12 deputies come In and give similar bail the total would reach qver $500,000. SoveraLof the marching strikers were among tho witnesses yesterday. All assertod that the strikers had been guilty of no violence before beinft fired upon, though two declared they were compelled to Join the marching- strikers against tnoir desire. Beveral admitted that they were en route to Lattlmer to eet the men at work there to Join them. Mrs. Ellen "Withclo, who was on a car bound for Lattlmer, testified that the men were marching alons quietly, and had committed no violent acts when fired upon.

She said she. fled to the mountains with her family, as did a number of her neighbors. The pence of the anthracite district was disturbed by only one outbreak yesterday. When the men at Pardee's Harwood colliery reported for work a crowd of strikers, led by a woman, assembled about the mine, and their throats of violence to the would-be workers were so menacingthat troops were nsueu ror. A detachment of cav alry was sent over and remained dur ing the greater part of the day. There waB nd further trouble, but only a small minority of the miners were courageous enough to work. With the exception of the Jeansvllle colliery of the Lehigh Valley company, and the Harwood men who did not go back, all the mines of the region were work ing, though not with full complement of men.
