Pottsvillo. Jan. The trial of tlm Count v Commissioners wasfresumcd again this morn ing with a very sniitll attendance. J. V. deary was Examined about tlio mans and plans of tho nlihshouso drains for which ho did tho excavating. He produced the maps and explained Jtliem. In answer to Mr. Marr ho tald he received tho certificate for laying out tho Indeneu- dent School District of North Manheim township whon he filed the vlowers report at tho Clerk of the Courts ollicn. Ho then de manded payment for his work. Mr. Geary said ho paid his emtiloveson the almshouse excavations the amounts set forth In his bills. Under cross-examination ho said ho has had nine years experience, and began to sur vey at the almshouse July 3rd, 1893, The bluo print originals were produced. Tiio ex amination then turned to tho length of time taneu in caring each item of various bills. Considerable time was taken up in looking lor tne natos, tlio witness explaining that most of tho data was contained on his field notes. Witness stated ho located all the old drains at tho almshouse by digging them up, be causo thero was no map aud no knowledgo of ineir location. Jlo men prepared maps of the drainage system. First they dug down at points whore the old drains wero known to bo, and thon dug along the drains. The old drains, not now iu use, aro not on tho map. Q. Why didn't you put courses and dis stanccs on your maps. A. Uccauso wo never do on such mips. Tho drains arc all at rihht auglcs aud can bo easily located from tlief starting point at the uuildlng. , (J. Did you go down On tho 8 o'clock traiu or on tho "Buffalo." A. Generally left on; tho Lehigh Valley after 8 o'clock. (J. You charged $10 (for overy day you went down there. A. Ko. sir; Bometlmes $15, $10, aud $3, or according to tho work. I charged nothing for my own horso and carriage whon I used them; and generally hired of Liveryman Mat. Walkor when I needed an extra team; I surveyed some of the lines moro than once because tho stakes wero not knocked out; my field notes do not contain a full account of every detail worked out. Q. Let us have your b'nk t A. Thero aro private notes in it. Q. Then read out your entries for April, 180(1. A. April 5, working on profile at alms house. Q. What's that for? A. Locating drains. Q. Didn't you locato drains iu August, 16!)3? A. Not this part; this rcfened to tho steam pipo. Q. Kead on. A. April 0, at Almshouse J. W: G. work ing in otlico on Almshouse map. Witness then explained the work done iu laying out tlio proposed new school district of Last Mt. Carbon iu North Manhoim twp.; tho job took 10 or 12 days. Ifourk, Davis, Sullivan and Helnhart helped. We finished April 30. Attorney Ityon hero objected to tlio further cross-exatuinatiou of the witness because tho indictment icferb to the Mt. Carbon School District ami not thu Independent School District of North Manheim township. The Commonwealth's motion to amend ac cordingly and an exception was noted on motion of tho defense. On redirect examination tho witness said ho cliaigcd tho county the samu rate thatho received of boroughs and had bills to show it. Ho was then asked about his pay for the County Surveyoraliip, aud Mr. llyon ob jected. Court sustained tho objection, sayiug that had nothing to do with tlio caso. To Mr. Marr. Some of my bills were ob jected to by the Commissioners, who went to the Almshouse and looked over my work be fore they approved them; 1 had my father employed and paid hiru at tho rate of $5 per day ; lie has been a civil and mining en gineer in Pottsvillo for a life time. Harry J. Huddlo was sworn. Ho said : I live In Philadelphia and am connected witli the General Electric Illuminating Company. Ho identified tlio contract with tho Com missioners which was offered In evidence, The prosecution fought tho Introduction of this evidence question by question, anil ono relating to the dynamos was ruled out. Witness was asked if Gill & Co. could turnisli dyuamos of a certain speed but ob jection followed and court said he might tell whether other firms biddiug could furnish tho dynamos, etc., contracted fur by the General KIcctrle Company. Witness said he did not know positively what they, the other firms, mil manufacture three years ago. HILL TtSTiriUS, D. W. Hill, archltcct.and livo at Yorkvillc. Tho witness told of his employment to lay out the almshouse, improvements aud of tho necessity for the service of a civil engineer. J. W. Geary, Jr., had been employed for this work. Hill planned the improvements for tho old buildings in addition to tho new hospital boiler houso, laundry, etc. There were steam pipes laid to the several buildings, both for heating aud cooking. Asbestos was used to wrap the steam pipes to prevent condensation ami loss of steam. All objection by the Cntnui"nwcalth to testimony in this ruMcu on the asbestos wrapping was mstalued by tlio court because die ciiargo noes inn siaiu mo worK was im propeily done but that the contract was il legally entered lutu. Mr Marr : Was not the last Installment of $287 on your first bill of $1,023 for pre liminary work paid to you before you signed the $2,000 contract 1 A. Yes, sir; and I receipted for It. Strenuous objections were mado by the prosecution to further questions tending to slpiiy that (ho Commissioners und witness wero legally justified iu tlio payment and re ceiving of thc$2,000 additional for tlio Alms hulls plans and specifications and Judge Iicchtcl most dtxldt'dly ruled all questions out. Ir. his idling tho coitrt indicated that ho believed tho claim of tho defense fui juttl lUation iu this respect roats on an unsub stantial fntiud.itiuti. Bin answer to Mr. Marr, Mr. Hill detallod inctdeiiis of the tlip to New York fur tho puipo.o of luspoctiiig machinery. They visited u number of establishments, Our meals averaged a dollar u piece, und he read a statement that ho mado out n tn.l .... tl Am ... . iis iu uuu oui mo pronaiiio cost ami tlio lust kind of dynamos, etc. None of the mum v was corruptly spent.

That was In 1871. Ho could hot say how old he Has when he llnlslifd his trade. After leaving Chicago lie located in Pottsvillo again, and winked at carpentering until he went "braking" on thu P. it It. railroad, where he apont about fl years until 18S1. Ho then uncut :i vi,r ,i carpentering in a car shop at Wilmington, Delanaie, and once more letumed to Potts villo. He then clerked at the Noilhuestcrn hotel, kept by Ids father-in-law, and then started in tho business of architecture. After this seaiching inqiuiy into Mr. Hill s ups aud downs previous to settling tlK) questions turned to tlio asbestos covering of the steam pipes. Asbestos, said tlio witness, is an inch thick and circular iu form so that tho Inside will fit over the outside of tho pipo. It is fastened witli brass clamps. Judge Beclitel howled out further questions on this seine and county bridges wero taken up. Mr. Hill said that architects and civil engineers combined frequently in planing bridges. He had surierltiteiwli.il tl. l,i,;i,li., of 8 or 0 now bridges His bill for services in overlooking the movim? of tlm l'ni.. ah,. old Iron bridge to Mt. Carbon was put under a hot tiro.

Tl nr., three old bridges at Schuylkill Haven. Thuy built a new bridge at Tower City and tho Commissioner!) were along. This was a pre liminary view. V itness said ho took the plans and speci fications furnished bv briil changed them to suit. Ho remembered sub stituting wooden door beams for thu iron ones, and of making plans, etc., for wing wan, aiiutmeuts ami approaches. He had not those plans witli him. ami m tr,l,l i bring them hero when ho got through. Tho examination was tedious, going into tlio smallest details, the evident purpose being to show that Architect Hill had been paid for services never rendered during 181)1. '03 and '00. Witness said a bill or $1,011 included the work done on the new bridge and tho old bridges in Last Union township. Hill got five per cent commission on this amount and had no contract fur it. A trin to .Middl A tin ft on July 20, 1801, that cost $10 was for in specting bridges. Tlio New Philadelphia bridge was looked at; that is, tho old one over Silver Creek; the timbers were rotten, and tlio floor iu bad condition; doesn't know what repairs wero done. He made the inspection at tho request of tho Connnissioni rs Thero wero no plans nor specification!) fur thorenuiia .mil li. r. ceived nothing on them. Ho did not prepare plans for tho new iron bridge at New Philadelphia; ho merely de scribed to tho engineer of the Pottsvillo ilridgo Works what the bridge ought to be like and he mado the drawings. Tho de scription was a verbal one. Ho charged live per cent, on tho total cost for suiierinteiuliii,. V .

Hero is a bill for inspecting bridges iu Mahantouga, Ilirry, and other lownsliips. How is it you did not put in thu othur town ships? A. That was a time, trip ; I charged accord ing to time ; can't say why I didn't put in tho other townships. Q. Why was it necessary for jou to accom pany tho Commissioner's uhen inspecting these bridges? A. Can't tell. Attorney Ityon : I want to call tho atten tion of Court to ono thing. Tho Commission er's may superintend bridges or employ some one to do it for them ; that's been decided. Don't think tho Commissioner's know any more about bridges than myself or Mr. Whaleu, and 1 wouldn't assume to inspect them. Judge liechtel said these Inquiries should be confined to those intending to bring out whether the charges were extravaguutortmt. The report on tho condition of eacli bridge visited in Harry, Maliantongo.IIegins, lltitler and Ashland townships were read and asked about in detail. Tho first night they stupped at Ashland and tho second at Hep.er'b in Maliautongo township. A bill for $50 in August 1881 without specifying what work was done was explained to bo part of tlm total of livo per cent on eonsti notion of bridges. A $10 bill, of Sept. 181)1 was ex plained ill the same way but not so positively. Q. You meiely wont in and said you want $10, or $3(1 on account and cot it. A. Yes sir; but the county was given credit fur it. tj. Sept. 8. you put in a bill for 3 trips to Port Carbon. A. That was for examining bridges. Mr. Hill was somewhat mixed on further cross-examination regarding tho trip to Now York, but explained that tho timo was so distant that he could not remember the par ticulars and his book was at home. He re sumed tho witness stand this ufteru i and was questioned about I he extras on thu bridge work, and tho amouut of his commission.

There was a hot time in tho boiotigh last night. The Democratic ward primaries wero held, and lively ones they were, too. It Is surprising that thuru wero not a no.en or moro serious encounters to record to-day. To givo the minor pugilistic exchanges at tho primaries in detail would fill a largo book. The old war horses of tho party say tnere have not been such spirited prim'arics in the Dorougli lor years. Itivalry was worked up, to its highest pitch and every advantage was ! taken by the respective factious. All eyes wero turned upon the master workmen of tlio First ward yestciday and tho result of the fight tkere nas awaited with great interest. The tight was to defeat i Frank Hanna, who sought reuomiiiHtion as ' School Director.but It failed. Thomas Sheehy. I his opponent, had made a determined canvass, and was by no means single- handed, but when the time for de cisive action arrived tlio Hanna forces I weio found so firmly intrenched that the1 Sheehy faction was ptactical ly powerless and Hanna won by over 200 votes. Sheehy gavel up tho light at ubout 0:30 p. m. After that' the polling of votes dwindled aud tho vie- toriousanny dooted most of its time to cele brating the rout it had given the enemy.

The cry is "Down Witli Hanna." In the meantime tho object of their opposition is shaking hands with himself over the result of one of tho hardest battles ho has ever had iu his political career. "Mark and I are two great men," quoths Hanna. In the Fourth and Fifth wauls the Demo crats also had their troubles.
