JUDGE KOCH'S DECISION. West Mithonoy Township School Directors Mint Slaml Trlul. Special to EvsxiKa Hbbald. l'omviLU, Nov. la.On the motion to quash tho b Us of Indictment In the i-ltde-mennor cases against the School Directors of West Mahanoy Township, Judge Kooli thl mo mine rendered a verbal decision denying the application. One of the mtimi given by eoutiMl tor the defendant as to why the bills of Indlotment should be quashed was that the bill of indict ment was not signed by the foreman" or tho Grand Jury, but that It was signed by ono lien Kaufman," and that there Is no record evidence of the appointment of Kauf man as foreman, or that he was sworn as such. Judge Koch stated, and cited authorities to sustain his opinion, that the indictment, If defective for this reason, can be amended. lie also stated that at the hearing the Clerk f the Courts clearly established the fact that Kanfman was regularly elected foreman of the Qrand Jury, and that ho was sworn as iich according to law. In reference to tho omission of .Martin Dixon's nano as a member of the School Heard in some of the count, his Honor held that this was no just reason for quashing the Indictment, as It was a question of proof for tho jury trying tho cane to iletermino from the facts produced. That, while Martin Dixon was a member of tho Board, ho may not have been guilty of the charges made against tho other directors. As to the charge that tho Indictment In the 07th count charges Ave persons as tho Board of Directors, and in tho 03th count an offense against only four porsons, his Honor stated that this docs not prejudice tho defendants, When they como up for trial tho Indictment is plain enough for any jury to understand it, and that is all tho law requires. In conclusion Judgo Koch stated that tho motion to quash the indictment was refused for tho reasons stated. George J. Wadlinger, Esq., one of tho counsel for tho defendants, asked for an ex ception, which was noted. The trial of the cases against tho School Directors will bo opened on Wednesday.

QUAY JffEfl INDEPENDENT Hinging Statement Prom Senator Dur ham, of Philadelphia. HE SAYS HE IS IN HO DICKERS Congressman Stono, of Allegheny, Also Ives Out an Interview Defining His Position-Some Beacons Why Dr. Swallow Will Not Be an Im portant Faotor In the Race Next !Year. SpeeJal IIRRAM) correspondence. Philadelphia, Nov. 15. The political atmosphere In the Mate of Pennsylva nia Is beginning to clear up to a con siderable degree, and out of the mists and rumors of the ,past ten days the leaders of the various elements of the Itepublloan party at beginning to see better and are obtaining a more accu rate knowledge of dust whtre they stand. The fact that Senator Quay met David Martin and Chris Magee just before election for the sole purpose o unifying the organisation! In order to get out as large a party vote as nos- Blble caused much comment, and was approved uy Bome ana denounced by umers, out misconstrued by a very large proportion of ' both the neorilo and the active workers. Now that mat ters havo calmed down somewhat all hands aro beginning to look upon these inciuents or political life In a more reasonable and practical manner, Inose who have a knowledge of tho Inner workings of the organization have learned from sources that cannot bo doubted that there have been no deals, slates or arrangements of any charac ter In either local or state politics. The attitude of several of the most conspicuous Quay men In both Phila delphia and Pittsburg, as well as throughout the stats, proves the truth of this assertion. For Instance, It was very generally reported In Philadel phia, and believed by many well mean ing persons, that Senator Quay had made actual and tangible terms with David Martin, and that State Sen ator Durham, who has been one of his most valuable friends and allies In the Quaker City, had been deserted and left out In the cold. As a proof of this It was asBorted that Senator Quay had concluded a political bargain with Mr. Martin, by which William J. Honey. who Is Martin's brother-in-law, was to ue unanimously renominated for tho position of receiver of taxes. There Is no truth whatever In this. Senator Quay has personally denied tho story. and Mr. Martin admits that there Is no Justification for the yarn. To make proof more conclusive still, Senator Durham comes out with a public state ment that there has been no deal, and that there will bo no deal. More than this, he Is now preparing to wage an aggressive campaign against the nom ination of Mr. Honey. Senator Quay Is well aware of this, and the fact that he has not attempted to Interfere In the slightest degree with Mr. Durham's local plans would seem to make It cer tain that there had been no Quay-Mar tin compact In Philadelphia. In this connection It Is quite Interest ing to note the exact position of Mr, Durham In this matter. He represents the young element In the party who are opposed to offensive bosslsm, and who havo used their best endeavors to create a healthier tone In the local po lltlcal organization, when he was asked If there was a deal of any charac ter he said that as far as he knew there was nothing- substantial In the ru mor of deals that had been agitating the politicians of tho Quaker City. He added to this: "You can say, however, that If such a deal were made I would not be a party to It. More than that, it Is not In the power of any person or persons, high or low, to make any political bar gains for me. I stand where I have stood for the last three years In favor of cleaner politics and better city gov ernment. I am for honesty and manll' ness In politics, and I do not believe the people of Philadelphia will ever get either from the few men who have been and are now running the Hepubll can city organization for their own personal profit and political advance ment." 'How do you regard the meeting be tween Sonator Quay and David Mar' tin?" I am not responsible for Senator Quay, and do not pretend to explain his actions. I Intend to stand by my friends who have so loyally stood by me, and I will do this regardless of what others may do." You are credited with opposing the lease of the gas works?" "That Is true. I was against It be' cause X believed It was a steal. I never pretended to have a monopoly of vir tue, but there Is a limit to the patience of the people, and I think It Is going to be reaohed pretty soon. If this thing keeps up there will be a lively time In this town. It Is within the power ot the people to change the existing order of things whenever they choose to do so, Treachery, lying and deceit may be successful for awhile, but they won't last forever. I have mapped out my polloy, and that policy Is to stand by that element of the Republicans ot Philadelphia who are uncomoromls lngly In favor ot better government and clean politics. I propose to stand by them until they are victorious and It Is made possible for self respecting people to go along with the Itepublloan organization. What Is true of Mr. Durham In the olty Is equally true of the loyal and consistent Quay leaders throughout the state. A great many misinformed per' sons have loudly proclaimed that sen ator Quay had slated Peter A. II, Wtdener, ot Philadelphia, as the Repub lloan candidate for governor, and that suoh worthy men as General Frank Raeder, Congressman Hicks, Charles w. fitnne! Consrressman Connell and William A. Btone were all to receive orders to quit the field and give Mr. Wldener a olear traok for the nomlna-jla-r far M occupied by Dan- lel it. 'Hastings. Congressman Stone has been In Philadelphia during the past few days and he has had no hesi tation In declaring his belief that the stories are without foundation. In do ing this he has given out a brief state ment which has the ring of manliness and sincerity about It Colonel Btone said: "1 came here from Washington, where went to visit my family. I am well satisfied with the present status of my campaign for governor, and I believe that I will win. I am making my cam paign solely on my own merits, without any promise of support from any fac tion In the Republican party, but I hepe thai all Republicans will be for me. I am keeping strictly In the middle of tie road," continued Mr. Btone, "and am paying no attention to rumored dealB and slates, making my appeal direct to the people of the state, well knowing that the matter Is entirely In their hands. I will be a oalididate until the votes are counted In the convenUon. Under no circumstance will I withdraw from the fight until It la over." Mr. Stone's friends assert that he has developed no little strength In Al legheny county. While Magee and Fllnn have been enabled In the fac tional fights of the last two years to oontrol a majority of state delegates from Allegheny, the Stone followers say that their choice for governor will undoubtedly turn the tables on Magee and Fllnn. Many of Pittsburg's Mu nicipal Leaguers are supporting Mr. Stone's candidacy, and so are the busi ness men. It Is pointed out by Mr. Stone's sup porters that he has other sources of strength. For years he has fought In congress for restricted Immigration. In the next congress he hopes to pass such bill that will meet with President McKlnley's views. A bill restricting Immigration, of which Mr. Stone was the author, passed congress last year, but It was vetoed by President Cleve land. Mr. Stone's fight for restricted Im migration has won for him In his gubernatorial canvass, so it Is stated, tho support of the patrlotio orders ot Pennsylvania. Then, too, the labor organizations would like to see him governor. Without desiring to detract In the slightest degree from the laudable am bition of any man to become an as pirant for the highest oftlce In the gift of the citizens Ot the commonwealth, It must be said In all candor and sin cerity that Mr. Wldener Is the least de sirable of any of the candidates that have yet been mentioned tor the gov ernorship. He is a man of force and ability, but he Is Intensely unpopular In his own city, and this Is a weak ness In a candidate for a high office that cannot be wisely overlooked by tho delegates who will have the power ot naming the nominee of the party. The Republlcarrcahdldato for the chief magistracy of tho Keystone state next year will havo to be a man who Is strong with the rank and file of the people, and even the best friends of Mr. Wldener will not claim this dis tinction for their candidate. He Is best known to the citizens of Philadelphia as a Traction magnate and the head and front of an offensive street oar monopoly. The Philadelphia Inquirer, which Is generally recognized as the leading Re publican newspaper In Pennsylvania, has said In the most positive terms within the last five days that If Mr, Wldener were nominated for the gov ernorship he could not be elected. These facts are known to the party leaders. They speak volumes, and can be taken as a most emphatlo denial of the story that Senator Quay had been foolish enough to slato Mr. Wldener for tho nomination. There has been a good deal of un necessary jubilation over the size and character of the Swallow vote In the last election. Some of his over zealous friends have already nominated him for governor, and the Harrlsburg par son has accepted the nomination with alacrity. His warmest Bupporter In Philadelphia Is Banker Wharton Bar ker, who Is now engaged In mapping out the preliminary steps that are In tended to pave the way far his nomi nation as governor. Mr. Barker Is an enthusiast In poll tics, but his public career has not been marked heretofore with any notable or brilliant successes. On the contrary, his political pathway has been strewn with failures and defeats. Mr. Uarker Is and has been a zealous Bryan man, and Is recognized as the foiemoat champion of free silver In this part of the United States. Another of Dr. Swallow's supporters In Philadelphia Is Wayne MacVeagh, who was the UiV ted States minister to Italy under the Cleveland administration. Mr. Mac Veagh was formerly a Republican, but left the party of his fathers because of Its determined stand In favor of a pro tective tariff on American Industries. He deserted In the heat of a national oampalgn and took the stump In favor of Cleveland and free trade. It will be seen, therefore, that If Dr. Swallow becomes a candidate for gov ernor It will be upon the platform of free silver and free trade, two Issues that never have been and never can be successful In Pennsylvania. It is no Idle prediction to say that If he Is In the field next year he will not poll one-half of the vote he received at the late election. T. M. A.

POWDER IiYflGflED THREE Pfl Taku Prom Jail by a Mob and Promptly Strung Up. WERE WHOLESALE MURDERERS! One ef Thai Ilad Been Sentenced to Death, But Was Recently Awarded a New Trial-! he LyBehtrs Were All Masked. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 15. Alexander Coudot, Indian half breed, Paul Holy track and Philip Ireland, full blooded Indians, the first of whom was sen tenced to death for the murder of six members of the Bplcer family last Feb ruary, and had just been granted a new trial by the supreme court, and the latter two self confessed accessories In the murder, were taken from the county jail In Emmons county Satur day night and lynched by a mob. The lynching hnd been apparently coolly planned, and was carried out without a break in the program. Wllliamsport, where the hanging took place, is about 40 miles from this city, and off the railroad. The men had been under the custody of Deputy Sher iff Tom Kelly, and they were taken from under his control by the mob and hanged to a beef windlass several hun dred yards from tho Jail, where their bodies were left swinging all day yes terday. There were about 40 men con cerned In the lynching. The mob rode Into Wllliamsport on horseback late at night and tethered their horses a short distance from the city that they might secure them again as speedily aa necessary after the deed waa done. The jail In which the pris oners were confined Is a substantial Stone structure, and was In charge of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Kelley. Since the wnfinement of the prisoners so great has been the fear that they might escape in some way that one man has watched all night within the jail, and Saturday night Kelley was on the watch. There was a meeting- of the Lodge of Woodmen In a building near the Jail, and as Kelley was a member he ex pected to meet some of the members of the lodge after the meeting had au Journed. About i o'clock In the morning there was a rap at the outer doors of the Jail, and Kelley arose quickly and turn ed the key In the lock, thinking that the persons he expected to meet had arrived. No sooner had he opened the door than the mob crowded Into thf corrldors. All of them were masked and the leaders carried ropes. Kelley once realized that the mob had come after his prlsoneVs. The leaders presented a revolver at the head of the deputy sheriff and told him they wanted his prisoners, and demanded that he open the cells which they were confined In. Kelley demurred, but saw that resistance wan useless and un locked the cells. Two of the prisoners were confined together and the other in a separate oell. They had been aroused from sleep by the entrance of the men, and sat up half awake and trembling with terror. Holytrack and Ireland were dragged from their beds, ropes were fastened about their necks and they were dragged out on the ground after being told to prepare for death. The men were then dragged to a huge beef windlass, which had been erected to suspend the carcasses of slaughtered beeves, and strung up to a cross beam. Coudot was the first man to be hanged. It is reported that he was asked before he was hanged whether Blackhawk and Defender had also been concerned In the murder for which he was to be hanged. He answered that they had been. The rope which had been fastened about his neck was then thrown over the cross heam and he was raised off the ground and sus pended In the air. Holytreck and Ire land were bo nearly unconscious from the effects of the dragging that they were unable to stand, and were slowly raised from the ground on which they lay until their bodies swung In the air. "Promlnonte" n Lyncher. Osceola, Ark,. Nov. 16. Henry Phil ips, alias "Doc" Jones, a negro, a self confessed murderer and moonshiner, was lynched In the court yard here Sat urday midnight by a mob composed of prominent cltisens of this town and surrounding country. The direct cause of the lynching was the murder ot a merchant here by the name of Phillips a few days ago. Ilickert's Onle. Our free lunch to-nigbt will consist of Hah cake.
