Dr. S. C. Swallow, of this city, late Prohibition candidate for state treasurer, was arsued before the su perior court yesterday on an appeal from the decision of the Dauphin coun ty court in a suit Instituted bv Cau taln John C. Delaney, superintendent nf public buildings and gruunds. Dr. Swallow was convicted of criminal libel a year ago and sentenced to pay a line of $500 and costs, which amounted to several hundred dollars. The case was appealed to the superior court, and has since been pending, owlnjr to the failure of counsel on both sides to agree upon a time for argument. Ex-Deputy Attorney General James A. Stranahan and Edwin W. Jackson, of Harrlsburg, and Thomas II. Murray, of Clearfield, appeared for Dr. Swallow, and argued that the court below erred In refusing to admit certain evidence to prove the doctor's allegation that extravagance and corruption had been practiced In fitting up the public de partments. Ills attorneys contended that if this testimony had gone before the Jury a different verdict would have been rendered. Charles II. Iiergner, John II. Weiss and Lyman D. Gilbert, for Captain De laney, argued that the excluded testi mony had no bearing on the case; that it was immaterial, and could not bo admitted under the principles of law governing libel cases. The court reserved Its decision. Gorman DimllMw .MiiwIicmV' Berlin, March 11 During yesterday'a Besslon of the diet Delegate Gerllch.

This testimony brought Attorneys Smith and Iierger to their feet and they demand! il that it bo stiicken out, because it was not mentioned in tho bill of paiticulars. The court struck it out, Tho evldeuco showed that no cash book was kept by the Commissioners during 1&!IT for tallying tho tab on tho receipts nf the county treasury, and this, it is urged, is n violation of tho statutes. The temporary loan account examination was long and tedious, tending to prove that there was no logical or complete recoid of the loans on the minutes The witness admitted that Commissionei Meyers was the only Commissioner prerent on July 11. 1S97, when it was apparently "by the uiiniitt's" passed making a temporar.v loan for $20,000. Mr. Heber explained by "aying that ho had told the other Commie--.loneis a few days before this date that a note for that amount was coining duo and tbey had decided at that time to renew tho loan iiy a resolution. Mr. Schalck insisted thai tho minute was a false one and tint it helped to sustain the chargo of keeping defective minutes.

Mr. Schalck : Didn't Mr. Ulricli say hi would put them to jail if they didn't pay him tho $800? .Mr. Holier: Ho said something like that, hut I can't remember exactly what. He said hu would expose them. I heard after wards he told parties ho wuld put them to jail. Attorney Smith: You wero not asked what you heard from other persons. Confine yourself to the questions.

He found the temporary loan notes and resolutions and carbon copies in ono file box, but they wore mixed as to dates. Then were somo of the notes and carbon copies missing that havo not been found yet. Tin cross-examination was very brief. llurd W. Payne, Deputy Controller, was called and asked about tho contract of Win J. Hast for the almshouse plumbing, which has mysteriously disappeared since tho last trial, at which it was put in evidence. The witness swore lio had searched every where for it, but it was without avail. lit further testified about thu payment of billt fur extrts on the almshouse contracU and when asked about advertisements or whether it might lia.o been published fur material costing J100 or moie, rofened to iu Clerk Hebur's testimony yesterday he said ho had sent for the records and would, upon their receipt, say positively whether such advertisements hid been published, or not, The tempoiary loans for 1807 amounted to $213,000 and the rate of inteiest paid upon them from 1 to 5 per cent. Most of these loans were made with tho Safo Deposit Hank of Pottsville.

The execution of tlio plot for a wholesale jail delivery was averted by Warden lirowei and his deputy and 'Squire McGuincss, ol Frackvillo. They discovered a conspiracy between Ishuiael llugers, now iu prison on tho chaigo of surety William, his son, serv ing a long term for arson, and three other prisoners whoso uamts are withheld. Early last fall Warden Hrowor received Informtion that a scheme was on foot to smuggle arms into William IJodgors' coll, and it was accomplished. The firearms wero taken from the prisoner in October last, and iu November lingers had five months added to his term, but ho would not tell who his accomplice was. On Tuesday last, however, Itogcrs confessod. He said tlie two revolvers were given to him by his father. He carried the pistole in the slcoves of his coat. When lie reached thu cell, he shook hands witli his son, at the saaie time dropping ono of tho revolvers into his hand, when he was leaving he dropped the second one to him. The deputy warden was to bo attacked ; whan the blow was struck the prisonor was to lock the deputy in the cell, rush out to where llogcrs was confined, open his coll, then releaso the other two. Tho elder Hogers knows nothing about the confession of his son. Ishuiael ltogors has been a p.itlout at the county almshouse) n,ear Schuylkill Haven on several occasions and those who know him laugh at the idea of a plot.

Many a brave soldier has the same history. To-day this one rejoices in a nciv-found strength and tells his experience to benefit others. No man Is better known and lilicd in that rich tier of Illinois counties, ct which Peoria is the centre, than genial Chester S. Harrington, o! Princevillc, 111. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the late war. Like many another brave soldier, he suffered not only during that service, but for years afterwards from diseases con tracted then. For years his health was shattered! h.13 sufferings increased. He was unable to gain relief, but now he tells a story which is of profit to manyt "I served three years in the 124th Illi nois, enlisting at Kewanec, IU.," said he. " I was in Libby Prison and suffered tke many another Northern soldier. "The strain of army life did its work fn undermining my health, although the col lapse did not come for sometime after. " For fifteen years I suffered from g.-ncral debility and nervousness so badly that I could not sleep. Indigestion resulted and my misery increased. " My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way. I could scarcely remember events that hap pened but a few weeks before. 4 For two years I was unfitted for busi ness. I was just able to creep around dur ing part of this time, and there were many times when I could not get up. "My brother is a doctor, but all his efforts to help me failed to give any relief.

Finally, having read articles re garding cures that had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I decided to try them. That was in 1896. I be 'J7ht a box and took the pills accord ing to instructions. "Four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for years. That night I went to sleep easily and slept soundly as a child and awoke refreshed. "After I had taken four boxes of the pills, I found that I was cured and had also increased 27 pounds In weight. "This greatly surprised my friends, who thought my case was a hopeless one. I be gan my work again and have continued ever since in excellent health. " Another valuable gain to me was, that while I was taking these pills I had been cured of the smoking habit, which had formed when I was a boyand had clung to me all these years. The craving for tobacco left me and I have never expe rienced it since. " I cannot say enough for these pills and have recommended them to many." To verify this statement Mr. Harrington made affidavit to its truthfulness before Lincoln M. Coy, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink PUIs for Pale People strike at the root of disease by acting di rectly upon the Impure blcod. Their power is marvelous and many wonderful cures have been made. Druggists consider them a potent remedy, and all sell them. Cer itre Street. ABE LEVINE, Prop. f i i 32 MEDALS AWARDED Sole Agents. GREAT PAIN ! GREAT COST !
