The Trial of the Commissioners Still on
at Pottsvlllc.
CONTRACTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
The Defense Continues Its Testimony and
the Attendance at the Trial Is on
the Decrease The CaBe Likely
to go Over to Next Week.
Pottsvlllo Jan. 20. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Marri said tho Controller had mado dili
gent search for Architect Hill's f 1,1123 bill of
May 11, lur, but it could not bo found. The
Controller said tho last he know of it he had
si ven it to tlio Clerk.
Mr. Ulrich 6ald himself, Mr. Connell, Mr.
Hober and the Commissioners attended tho
stato convention of Commissioners at Mead-
illc, lu .September 169 1, tho bill of expenses
for which trip is alleged to have been
illegally paid. Wo attended because we
thought the county would ba benefitted.
Tho convention was composed of Commis
sioners, their solicitors and chief clerks.
Ood roads nnd general management were
discussed. We staid but two days. Wo
traveled on passes to Williamsport aud that
part of the fare was not charged to tho
county. Mr. Itcbor acted treasurer during
tho trip and paid our oxpensos. All the
expenses, at least so far as I am concerned,
were for car faro and hotel bills. I know we
tried to get Pennsylvania railroad passes to
Williamsport and didn't succeed. Tho first
year I was at tlio Commissioners oflico in con
sultation very many days, to get things in
order. Wo found evorythiug In disorder aud
had to put it in some decent shape.
stenographer Patterson was directed to
read tho bill of Architect Hill from his
records, Deputy Controller Payne having
read it off earlier in tho caso. Witness
Ulrich said ho did not present tho $2,000
contract for Hill to the Court until after the
f 1035 bill was paid fully. It was paid by in
stallments, the last of which was given to
Hill on May 11, lbOO. The first bill was for
five per cent, of $32,500.
Ou tlio Washington trip to see Senator
Quay about defcatiug the new county bill
the witness' expenses were $07.40. 1U es
timated his expenses by counting the money
in his pockets upon his return aud estimat
ing the difference between that aud wnat he
had wlien he loft home. They left February
23rd, 1805, and with their stay at Harrisburg
on the return trip were absent until March
1st. They arrived in Harrisburg February
25th, and he may have gone home in tho
meanwhile Tho bill of March (ith for f 12.55
was iuquircd into. Congressman Hrunira
was with him ou the Washington trip. Tho
bill included car faro. Ho has no copy of
the brief presented to Governor Ilastiuns.
auu iook no copy ot it because lie was In a
hurry. Ho charged for tho brief Juno 18,
ISUo. His expenses that date wore i2.S3.
Ho said ho was counsel to the Commissioners,
ind not the solicitor, because, technically
speaking, there is no such ollice.
When Architect Hill submitted his bill of
.May 11, Mr. Ulrich required him lo furnish
Ins studies." He said tho bill beforo the
court was not tho one ho made out.
He asked for tho bill with his bill attached
but it was not forthcoming.
He did not fllo tlio financial statement in
tlio Clerk of the Courts' ollico. Clerk
Duffy's indorsement showed it was filed June
lbU7.
Mr. Marr here objected to moro than one
lawyer examining Mr. Ulrich, and Mr.
Schalck remarked they were merely follow
ing tlio example ot the defense's lawyers.
which led John W. liyou to say, "That's tho
trouble with your side: you always follow
bad example." Thissally produced laughter.
aud Judgu llechtel iiistiucted that but one
lawyer oxainino the witness at a time. Mr.
Ulrich himself said it did nut matter to him.
Tlio defense offered the advertisements for
Almshouse Improvements in ovidenco and
Mr. Ityou read ono of them.
SUOllTAM, ON THE STAND.
A. J. Sliortall, who has been a lieutenant
of Mr. Sheal'er, tlio prosecutor, lu obtaining
evidence, was called.
In answer to Mr. Marr ho said he was
Clerk of tlio Courts three years, County
Couimlbsioner for six years, County Hecorder
threo years, and was acquainted with the
duties of those olllces. Tho certificate for
the Independent School District of North
Munheim township report of Commissioners
was issued from his olhco whon lie was Clerk
of tho Courts. Judge llechtel appointed tho
viewers. Mi. Whaleu filed the petition.
This led Judge llechtel to remark that tho
view and the viewers were not questioned by
the 23rd count, but tho right of tho Commis
sioner to pay them was.
PAINTINCl CONTRACT.
Wm. A. Helms was called, lie said:
Have been a painter for 35 years j himself
aud John 1.. Woll, had the contract for point
ing the court house ; Woll, now deceased,
had about 23 years experience, 1 1 of which
he worked in Chicago. Mr. Woll supplied
tho ropes, laddors, brushes, etc.: they
charged but 25 percent, commission for their
use, although the usual chargo by painters is
50 per cont. We kept our time and handed
tho daily slip to Mr. Connell.
We found tho cement pointing between the
window and door frames had worked out and
I told Mr. Iientz that it would take u couple
tous of putty to fix it up, aud that it would
be cheaper to cement it. lly the Commis
sioners' direction 1 employed Chas. Hay and
sou and Mr. Stork to do tho cementing. If
tho cement had not been put in it would have
bcon impossible to heat tho building. Mr.
Woll had four jacks specially made at a cost
of 5 apiece, which Mr. Faust said later ho
would not givo 50 couts for because they can
not bo used ou any other building. We found
some joists so rotten you could stick a lead
pencil through them slid suuie of the window
sills are rotten as punk now; notably ono lu
tho Commissioners' ollice. The roof nasalso
in bail repair. We put brass angles ou every
large window to keep it from springing;
boiled linseed oil was used for painting.
The witness thru read a hill dated August
8th, 1&U0. Carpoutcrs got f 2.50 per day unci
1 painters $3.
Wm A. Helms was recalled this morning
Witness said he had no pain shop of his own
aud got permission of the Commissioners to
uso tho basement of the court house to keep
his paint uud other materiuU while perform
ing the contract. He painted letters upon
the famous Tumbling Hun balloon in the base,
nicnt.
During tho previous autumn ho had sug.
grstcd to tho ComuiUsioners that tho court
house ought to be painted. Ho spoko to Mr.
ItciiU, Ho said they should have It done
right or not at all Mr. Martin suggested
that he have a partner aud lid talked again
witli both licnU uud Martin. Paint at 51
and tl cents was mentioned, aud Martin Mill
he could buy puttr cheaper In Plnogro
Mr. l.stcrly was then seen and the putty w
finally bought In Pottsvlllo. Hentz ill tab
this contract agreement. The witness bad
been working up tho Commissioners during
the winter of '115 and '00, nnd hud them in
the proper frame of mind by the sptlng of
1MN1. John Woll. his partner, died lecciitly.
They did net paint the roof.
Two varnlshers were hired by the Com
missioners, but ho kept their time and paid
them. They got no cnuiiniwlon or percent
age on the wages pild these men.
Ho also sold disinfectant to the county,
and ho nnd Woll gave u banquet in the
cellar on his birthday and they frequently
bad beer there until he and oil put a stop
to it. Ho hud discharged a workman named
Dee and Mr. Martin brought him buck. Was
aware that heading IUIlroad people were
watching he and Woll, but couldn't say how
he learned it. Tlio paint was bought by the
Commissioners, and ho didn't know how
much was left ovor. Some of tlio brushes
were stolen.
Although the contract only culled for two
coats they put on a third coat ou nearly all
the surface. Tho cemeiiters had spoiled
some of tho paint making tho additional
cost necessary.
Woll got $2.50 per day nnd ho put in steady
time; on rainy days Woll and he mixed paints
and located leaks. They always charged the
same prico. A barrel and a half of oil was
used ; the uverago is about (10 gallons of oil
per 1000 lbs of lead. About $100 worth of
material was bought by the Commissioners,
Mr. Marr asked Witness Helms to state tho
names of some lawyers who had helped to
drink beer upon one occasiou. Tho witness
said ho did not like to give tho names and
was excused 'from doing so.
Mr. Marr: How did the lawyers como to
join you ?
A. They broke in on us, (Laughter in
which everybody joined ) and they cat up all
our sardines, etc.
Q. They took everything, as they usually
do ?
A. Yes sir, that's so. (nioro laughter.)
Q. What kinds n( beer did you liavo?
A. Kuier's, Schmidt's, Itettigs and all
kinds.
(J. What kind of a workman was H. 1!.
Christ?
A. A good on, the only bad man wo had
was Tom Dee. (Laughter.)
tj. Don't you know that Deo is tho latest
addition to the Tux Payers' Association ?
A. No ; he'll make a good representative.
CONNIXL KIXALI-UD.
Phil. J. Connell was ro-callcd and said he
kept tho time of tho paintersat the end of eucti
week from tho coutraclois. Ho told Helms,
by instructions of the CommUsiuuers, tli.u
the plumber was being watched mid they
had belter attend to their work. To Mr.
Sebalck he said be did not know whu told
tho Commissioners tho workmen vtelu under
private surveilluuce.
THE CEMENTING.
Charles Hay, of Pottsville, who with his
sou, did the cementing, said he did
not chargo for auytluug not dune,
aud was not paid for auythiug not done.
uu cross-examination lie said ho was
watching Helms tryiug to do the cementing
one day. Helm's couldn't get the cement lo
work aud Hay bald he should employ a com
petent mechanic. Helms then recommended
Hay to iho Commissioners aud they employed
him. lie returned his time to Helms or
Woll, but mostly to tho latter.
The work, especially ou tho higher parts ol
tho building, was duugerous and diUicult.
That part his sun attended to. He could not
say how much cemeut was used. Ho ordered
it from L. C. Thompson. The old bricks
were usd ou the chimneys.
Air. Whaleu : Who carried tho extra brick
aud mortar up the stairs

Mr. Marr: A ltepublieau, uo doubt.

Cuminissloueis cuuio up oil the roof to see
the wont sevciul times. Tho man who
carried the stuff to the roof was named
liuudy. Hu was worth $2 per day.
lu lefeience to u separate bill fur August
17th, ls'JU, he could uotul this time remember
but supposed it all right.
Albert Shulleubcrgcr, a resident of Potts
ville since 1872, and u carpenter lrom 18.VJ,
told of putting auglo plates ou tho wiudow
sashes of the court house to prevent the glass
from bieakiug out.
Iho witness said tlio root was m very poor
condition and ho had placed buckets uud
barrels to catch iho rain in order to pieveut
it from coming through tho ceiling. He
was paid by Mr. Woll uud identified hisMg
nature tu receipted bills fur his pay. Mr.
Woll kept his time in a book ; ho was p.ud
very week aud carried his own time in his
head.
Wo put hinges on tho window sashes, relit
them and did a lot of patching up around
the building.
Peter l!aU, a painter since 1810, said he did
scraping, lllling, finishing and varnishing on
the new court house in the summer of 1MIU.
The shutters ou the inside were all taken oil
and fully treated even to being rubbed down
with pumice stouo and oil. Ho said lie was
not paid for any work that ho had not done ;
and received $3 por day.
Judge llechtel here said there was no alle
gation that tho amount paid was exorbitant
the only charge being that proposals or bids
for work were not advertised for. lie, theie-
fore, ordered all testimony about exorhitaut
charges to be stricken out.
Mr. Marr read from the bill of particulars
to sustain his contention. He said Mr.
Faust was asked what it would cost to do the
work ; but ho wus told that referred to the
outside only.
Mr. Marr said that his experience with
jury was that ovidonce once given beforo a
jury and then ordered stricken out had its
effect on the jurymen anyhow. Ho thought
they ought to bo allowed to combat Mr.
Faust's testimony.
Charles E. Breckous.Ksq., present secretary
of the liar Association, produced the minutes
and read from tho meeting Februarys, lb'Jj,
a resolution instructing tho Judicary Com
mitteo, Mr. Woodbury chairman, to opposu

PROPOSED REDUCTION OF HOURS.
The Operators of All States Are Willing to
Grant a Nine Hour Day Probability
That the Scale Committee Will
be Unable to Agree.
CliiriiK". Jan. 20. Two brief snssions
were held by the Intertt'sv bituminous
coal opera t n il a, id nilncrn yesterday,
nnd adjourn,', mi! wap taken until Unlay
pending' tit1 wale commlttee'ii report.
From n public point of view every
thing; In and about the convention ap
peared calm, but in tho secrecy of tln
scale committee chamoer the old war
between operators of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania flHils was fiercely raging.
Kariy In the session of the committee
the auestion of hours of labor was
thoroughly gone over. Uepre.sentatlves
of the workmen favored an eight hour
day, but their principal contention was
for a uniform day, in plare of the vary
ing hours now established In the differ
ent states. The operators were willing
to meet them halt way, and it is under
stood a uniform working day of nine
hours will be recommended to the con
vention. The knotty problem of state differ
entials was then taken up. This
brought Ohio and Pennsylvania oper
ators together with a crash. In ordi i
to allow them full swing the regular
committee took a recess until evening.
The Ohio nnd Pennsylvania operators
then went Into session by themselves
The Issue between these two states is
of years standing. Ohio operators have
hitherto succeeded in securing a rate
of live to tPii cents per ton below the
Pennsylvania scale, while It Is claimed
by the Pennsylvania people that Ohio
operators obtain L'i to 30 cents more
per ton for thur output. The fight to
remove tho dilfe-rence oh one side an 1
to retain on the other is therefore a
bitter one.
It Is probable that tho scale commit
tee will be unable to agree on all mat
ters before- them and will make tln ir
troubles known lo the full convention,
asking for further Instruction.

affections. It stops the cough,
soothes tho irritated throat, and in
duces refreshing sleep.
"I had a bronchial trouble of such per
sistont and stubborn character that the doc

remedies, but recommended me to try Ayer's
Chorry Pectoral. One bottle cured me."

severe attack of bronchitis, and naither phy

Less than one bottle entirely cured me."
