END OF THE TRIAL NOT IN SIGHT
The Testimony Long and Tedious and
Anything but Interesting to the
Small Crowd of Spectators In
Attendance.
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.
Cross 0X11111111011: Learned tho earpenli r
trade with John P. Partuii. Worked at I'.nt
Wayne and Lit uyrtto, hid., at Chleagu in a
planing mill wlieio 1 ran uiiuildiiig and shap
ing machines. 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. He got five tier cent conitnUsiim.
() Hero's a bill for l.'iO fur vimvio,. i,ri,i...
at Schuylkill Haven, Tower City and East
union, can you explain It?
A. My car fare is included. 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 . I'taua iui uuu urmgi'.s 111(1 I
did so for the Ashland Pi,...r-.. .,,.1 ll.i.j I
unuges. j no la-.ter was made by the Potts
villo Ilridgo works.
(J. 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.

Results of Hot Contests In Thrte of the
Wards.
HAKNA WON IN THE FIRST WARD
The Bottom Fell Out of the Sheeny right.
The Burk and Klrwin Factions In
the FourlU Ward Defeated-Lith-uanlans
and Creeks Snubbed
In the Fifth.
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. I
Tho Sheehy foicos announce that they are !
defeated, but by no means dismayed. It is I

is by no means improbable that a second
ticket will bo put up iu tho wind. 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. It was "hot
