Notwithstanding tlio Inclemency or the weather about sixty n dm Iters of Itolicrt Burns and Ms noetic works last night as sembled at MeldaUls now hotel, ou South Main street, aud joined with tlio Hums Cluh In celebrating the 130th anniversary of the great poet's birth, Thero woro representa tives from Mt. Curmel, Ullhorton, Ashland, Hazleton, Wra. Ponu, Lost Creek and Uirardvillo. The banquet hall was taste fully decorated, and was tlio handiwork of Messrs. Hagcnbuch and Storm. Portraits of the Goddess of Llborty, Washington, Land ing of Columbus and Kobert liurus wero prettily draped with tho stars and strlpos. It was past nine o clock when the hraw lads and bonnle lassies marched to tho banquet hall to tho sweet strains of the orchestra, where two long tables overflowing with tli6 delicacies of the season met their gazo. Tlio menu was prepared under the personal direction of Mr. Moldalzis, and was served In faultless stylo by caterer D.tvid Head I'lie latter has made for himself an enviable reputation In that respect. Turkey, chicken nd potato salad, cold meats of every des cription, side dishes in great variety, pastries. ice cream, cakes and fruits, champagne, wiues and Scotch whiskey, were some of tho good things prepared by the popular landlord of this hostelery. Two much praise cannot he given Mr. Msldaizis and tho committee, and they wero tendered a voto of thanks for the excellent nianrer In which thoy provided for the enjoymont of tho guests. Mr. John Ilamage was the toastniaster, and was a good one. The first toast respondod to was "Kobert Hums," by Capt. Georgo W. Johnson. The speaker dwelt at length upon the characteristics of the poet, and his ad dress was listened to with close attention. Ills remarks wero frequently applauded. Itobert Fairlie followed tho opening address with a song. J. Harry James, Esq., of Ashland, responded to the toast of "Scot land," In his well known style. Ho de scribed his visit to the rugged hills of Call- donia and told many interesting anecdotes of tho loyalty and steadfastness of the sons of Scotland. A song by James Kamago, of Mt. Carmcl, was followed by M. M. Burko, Esq., In response to the toast of "Our Adopted Country." Tho peaker grew eloquent at times in picturing the advantages of i constitutional govern ment over that of a monarchy. Songs befitting the occasion wore sung by John Eamage, William Graham and others. The violin and piano solos by the Misses Zimmer man wero pleasing features. During tho evening Mr. Meldaizii presented each guest with a miniature bottle of Scotch whiskey as a souvenir of the occasion. After the toasts the floor was cleared and dancing was indulged In until an early hour this morning. The banquet was one of tho most success ful hold in town for many years by tho ad mlrers of Hums, and it is safe to say that It will long be remembered by those present. Too much praise caunot bo given the com mittee having the affair in charge. It was a grand success even to tbo minutest detail. ltreen'fl lthtlto Cafe. Oyster soup, free, to-night.

SEVERE GROSS-flKE Mr. Rcntz Attain on the Stand Under Severe Cross-Examlnatlon. THE QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS Additional Interesting Information In Ref erence to the ' Agreement Between the Controller and County Commissioners Brought iout. Pottsvillo, Jan. 20. When this report of tho proceedings of tho trial of the County Commissioners closed Frank Kentz, one of tho defendants, was recalled for further cross-examination. Tho witness said he could not fix the ditto of our interviews with Judge Pershing. Tho first was in our ofllce. Myself, Allen, Martin and Ulrich were piesont. Can't say whether Judgo Itechtel was consulted or not. It was a genoral conversation. Judgo Fettli ng said we could chango tho heating and lighting nrrangemolit without tho formal approval of the coutt, Think this referred o the old as well us the new buildings. The conversation with Judge Pershing was not confined to tho obi buildings. It covered both the old and tho new. Judge Porshin's lettor was produced by Mr. Schalck, whereupon Mr. llyou walked over to Mr. Schalck, took tho letter out of his hands and remarked : This letter be- ongs to me, I brought It here." Tho court: The lettor is evidence and open to examination by both sides." The court refused to increase tho appro priation and the original bids were modified to come within the limit fixed by tho court. The plumbing bid was not returned because thoro was no modification in that branch of tho work. The bid was the lowest aud we leld it over. 'Yes, sir, I do swear that tho changes sub sequently made iu all the plans aud specifi cations were made for the purpose of reduc- ng tho expenses with the exception of tho plumbing," emphatically declared the wit ness. The witness was questioned in reference to the plumbing contracts, and said Hast was the lowest bidde-anil was awarded tho con tract. He received some extras. Had no business relations with Hast. On our trip to Now York Mr. Hill purchased two mileago books; don't think they were included in his bill. I don't know that he bought ono in Mr. Allen a name. I neror saw the two mileage books; perhaps they wero included In Hill's bill of $150.00. MONEY HAYlSD THE COUNTV. The witness said he read tho specifications for olectriu light plant in our offlce before advertising. Mr. Kentz then explained how the county was saved the difference between 17,170 and 8,400. The fixtures as I told you. weio not included In this because it was impossible to do so at tho time wo advortiscd for wiring because wo wanted to give nil a chanco. People called upon us and made this request. We would have done so whether this request was made or not. The Huchanan contract was shown wit ness, lt looks like Mr. rayno s writing. 1 am not an expert on penmanship. Mr. Geary was employed in May, 1805. I never saw any plants or maps or the old buildlugs and made no personal search for the plans and drawings. I thought there should bo, but tiny oould not bo found. Mr. Council searched for thsin and reported they wore not in the building. If Mr. Connell, who had been iu the Commissioners' oflico about six years, could not locato them, I certainly could not. THU QEARY CONTRACT. The Geary contract was then taken up. Witucss said we agreed to pay Geary $10 per day. Judged his work by tho piesentation of tho drawings nude by linn. Ho was hired by the day. There was more work than wo anticipated. The $15 paid Mr. Geary was for his assistants, and I know thoy were with him. I havo plans in my ofllce showing drains, &c, at tho almshouse, unless they wore stolen within the last 10 or 12 hours. I scruteuized tho bills as pre sented but never compared ono with tho other. I don't know that he chargod us for work ou April 5, 1890, which was Sunday. That evidently escaped our memory or uotice, but it is likoly the dttte Is wrong, and should bo a week day. We took Mr. Geary s report, whether it was honest or dishonest, I cannot We regarded tho report as correct and acted ac cordingly. Mr. Geary employed the men. I did not swear in tho equity case last summer that the Commissioners' employed them. We Instructed Mr. Geary to engage them. I was too busy with my otlldal duties to act as time keeper for Mr. Geary. I be lieve, howover, that tho number of men mentioned on the list were actually employed under him. Mr. Kentz testified that tho sur vey fur the division of North Mauhelm school district was made prior to April, 1800. We were governed by the certificate of the clerk of quarter sessions and I was not aware that Geary was employed at the alms house at this time. It is almost impo-siblo to watch everything that was done dally. This bill slipped my memory. TO-DAY'S TESTIMONY. This morning the sixteenth day of tho Commissioners trial on tbo charge of misde meanor In olUeo opened with Frank Kentz, one of the defendants ou the staud, to un dergo a severe cross-examination, the prose cution's lawyers having haj the benefit of a night's rest, and time to ferret out the weak points of the witness' direct testimony. He said his interview with Judge Persh ing was held In November, 1805, instead of 1800, which he previously fixed for the time. Q. Had you previously tu July beu to New York or uny other place to look up electrical machinery ? A. I cannot now say. Q. Then you didn't goto Philadelphia and Now York until aftr you awarded the bids of July 23rd, 16007 A. I don't recollect. Q. Is there anything on your minutes to show why you did not readvertiso for plumb ing and electric lighting 1 A. I can't find any rsference to the subject, Q, Where is the written opinion of Judge Pershing stating that tne commissioners had the right to put in an olectric light plant without advertising for bids 7 A. We had such a paper but cannot now find it; wo made a search for it. Q. Have you any writing about the as bestos 7 A. We havo none; mere was some corres pondence with II. W. Johns, who furuishad It. but we have not tho letteis hero. Q. Why did you advortlso for steam heat ing bids and not lor electric lighting bids? A. Hecause there was competition for the steam heating; there was tin particular kind r, .... ... J ui 1'iuiih ,uu ucoi, iiiu H-tiiiu as in me line oi electric lighting. Mr. Kentz was then questioned about in quiries ho mado into tlio character of Woll us a painter. Ho learned Woll imiuted tho Masonic Temple or hall at Chicago Woll told him bo himself, and Ills words proved him it good mechanic. Helms, tbo witness know, was a good painter, and also a politi cian Helms did good work. Tho witness was then asked If the painters did not havo beer and whiskey ; ho s.ii.l ho did not pay anything towards such jollifica tions. There was some dlsputo about mictions In this lino and court ruled out all that did not relate to whether tho workmen wore under the Influence of liquor or not. Q. If the bridge companies furnished plans and specifh minus why did you allow your architect to use tho sitne and pay him for pieparlng them ? A. Tho bridge companies furnished tho designs, and tho plans anil sprclfl-iuiotis must bo made according to tho design. I have no recollection that any bridge company fur nished auy plans or specifications. Mr. Schalck l.eio produced a letter and asked if they hud not sent to the companies letters asking them to furnish plans and speciiicauous. A. Not that I recollect. When ever a new board of Commissioners' caino In tho com panief try to gain their good will by sending them lithographs etc. Wo wrote them ask ing designs, but they did not give the exact size, strength nor limit. Q. Your minutes lead that plans and specifications wore received for tlio Tower City bridgo for the Ilorsoheads Ilridge Com pany and tho Herlin Company, and that the plans and specifications wuie accepted. Noth ing as to who got tho contract. Who re ceived the contract? A. I think tho Ilorsoheads Hridgo Com pany got tho contract, but am not suro. The contract was produced and showed that tlio Pottsvillo Ilridge Company got the work. Hid wore secured from muo differ ent parties, and tho FottBvillo Company was the Ion est. (J. And that contract was based on tho plans and specification furuised by the Horse heads Uridge Company? A. (Witness looking at contract) Yes, sir. Q. And Hill didn't do a scrap of work and got his five per cent ? A. es lie did work and got his percentage. Mr. Wilhelm to Schalck : How did tho Horsehcad Hridgo Company know tho dis tance across the bridge? Mr. Kentz: Why Connell wrote them ubout it and his information was furnished by Hill who made the mcasureuionls on the ground. Q. Don't you know the Porter township bridgo masonry that you paid $700 for to Contractor Herner was done for $330 by a sub-contractor, Long? A. No, sir. (. Why did vou nav S100 tn Hill for titans of a brid go at Schuylkill Haven when you had no money to build it? A. Wo intended to build It, but found that it would cost $18,000 and we couldn't build it. Q. Don't you know you have overpaid Architect Hill $103? A. I don't know; I am suro I couldn't be expected to attend to tbo clerical work, too. (J. Didn't you go over tho bills? A. I think wo did. (1. Were .VOU not a nartv to tb nprnenient by which the quo warranto procedings against Charles F. Allen were withdrawn because the commissioners agreed to pay the lawyers fees and the salaries of the Controller and his deputies? Witness Has shown the notice sent to the Controller by the Commissioners iu July, 1804, after the Suprcuie.Court had ousted him and asked how was it the Commissioners had paid him and his deputies aud attorneys for July, August aud September. A. They were in the office until Septem ber when tho Supreme Court affirmed the lower court October 13, 1804. Mr. Ulrich ad vised us we should pay the bills, that they wero legal. Q. Is thoro any provision in tho Con trollers Act which provides for an attorney for the Controller, and did you make any in quiry? A. We inquired of our attorney. i. Wa3 there not a bill of $300 for services rendered by Mr. Ulrich that tho Controller had tied up? A. I camo across such a cancelled war rant last night and was greatly surprised ; it was tho first I know of it. Other questions put by Mr. Schalck with a view of shoviiiig they approved this $300 in return for the approval of a bill for his salary. etc., were ruled out. In answer to another question Mr. Kentz said they wero governed by their attorney and remarked, "It's a pretty bad thing if you can't tako tlio word of your lawyer." (J. You didn't pay tho counsel of other officials on tho hill? Objection was overruled and defense had an exception noted. A. No, sir; but I am not entirely sure. 1 know wo refused to pay counsel for other otlicers ; we paid counsel for the County Auditors. Q. Didn't you pay Mr. Wilhelm J300 for his services for tlio Auditors in the quo warranto proceedings ? said Mr. Schalck holding up a bill tn tho witness. unjecteil to hy .Mr. Williolm hecause it is not so charged in tho indictment.

Madrid Newspapers, However, Object to tlie Presence of Our Warship, and Talk of Sending a Spanish Fleet to Visit American Forts. Wellington, Jan. 20. The battleship Maine Is In Havana harbor. The tor pedo boat Dupolit, which left Key West I at C o clock Mumlny evening with the MwilliiK ordei'8, hailed the Maine at Dry TortuKas, and delivered the orders for the battleHlilp to proceed tn Havana at once. v telegram from Consul Gen eral Lee said that the Maine had been received with every courtesy. The commanders of the German and Span ish ships of war In the harbor called upon the commander of the ...alne, who returned their cnlls. the Spanish forts fired salutes and all the cer monies called for by naval etiquette were ob served. In addition, the consul gen era! stated that everything was tran quil In Havan i. He also denied a statement published In the United States that there had been a misun derstanding between him and Dr. Conjrosto, the secretary of General Blanco. Shortly after the arrival of the Maine at Havana Lieutenant Medruno, repre senting the cantain of the port, and Vice Admiral Jose Pastor visited the United States battleship and extended the customnry courtesies. At 6 o'clock last evening Captain Slgsbee called upon Hear Admiral Vi cente Manterola at the admiralty of fice, and ution Vice Admiral Pastor, after which he had a prolonged con ference with Consul General Lee. The consul general returned Captain Slgs bee's visit this afternoon. The consul general Is arranging for a visit by Cap tain Slgsbee to Acting Captain General Parrado. The officers and sailors of the Maine will not go ashore at present, in order to avoid possible friction, and the United States squadron will remain at Dry Tortugas or In the vicinity. The arrival of the warship caused much surprise and excited considerable curiosity. Last night all the wharves weie crowded with people anxious to get a gllmpe of the American warship by night. The Maine played her search light on the arsenal and the fortifica tions. - - MADitin PAPints dis''li:ai:i. Tall; of Instruction.! iimtli Warships to Visit Aiiiorlcnii Ports. Madrid. Jan. 26. The newspapers of this city generally comment upon Sec rotary Long's explanation of the visit of the United States battleship Maine to Havana, and agree In expressing the opinion that her visit Is "Inoppor tune and calculated to encourage the Insurgents." lt Is announced thnt, "following Washington's example," the Spanish government will "Instruct Spanish warships to visit a few Ameri can ports." The Epoca asks If the dispatch of the Maine to Havana Is "Intended as a sop to the jingos," and adds: "We cannot suppose the American government so naive or badly Informed as to Imagine that the presence of American war ves sels t.t Havana will be a cause of sat isfaction to Spain or an Indication of friendship." Tho Impartial expresses fear that the dispatch of the United States bat tleship Maine to Havana will provoke a conflict, and adds: "Europe connot doubt Am"llca's attitude towards Spain, but the Spanish people, if neces sary, will do their duty with honor." Admiral Chacon, the ndmlial of the fleet, arrived hpre yesterday nnd had a long conference with Admiral Barniejo, the minister of marine. The next cab inet council will tlerlde which Ameri can ports the Spanish men-of-war arc to visit. In official circles the tendency Is to accept the argument that the United States is frii ndly, and that It is need less to attai h Importance to the visit of an American vessel to Havana.
