THK SfELLET CUBE.
On the application of Mrs. Mary Mellet to
require tho Borough of Shenandoah to show
causo why the judgment ontored against
her, as one of the sureties ou M, J. Scanlau's
tax bond, should not be opened, arguments
wero made this afternoon beforo Judge
liecutel. liorough Solicitor IJurko and John
F. Wbalen, Esq., appeared for tho Borough.
aud against the application, and Hon. James
II. Kellly aud James J. Morau, Esq.. appeared
iu Delia i r oi airs, jioiiet.
Mr, Kellly opened tho argument, saying
that Mis, Mellet emphatically denied having
signed tho bunds in question, aud that the
Justices of tho Peace who purported to havo
attested Mrs, Mellet s signature had never
appeared Iu her presence. Mr. Rellly con
tended that the ouly evidence that could bo
accepted In cases of this character was of the
kind given by Mrs. Mellet, in which she
makes nn cmpbatlo denial that she
ever signed tho bonds. Mr. Kellly also con
tended that Mrs. Mullet was sustained by the
testimony of Malt, (llblon, whose namo ap
pears ou ono of the bonds as a witness, Mr
Rellly laid gieat stress upou Mr, (Union's
testimony, eipoclally where tho witness said
ho did not remember anything about the
matter, and swore that he did not seo her
sign her name or make her mark, In rovlew
lug tho testimony, Mr, Rellly contended that
the ovldouce of the Justices of tho Peace was
unusual, iu that they bad no recollcctlou of
Mrs, Mellet making her mark or acknowl
edgment, beforo them.
Judge Bechtel stated that tho Supremo
Court bad decided that tho burden of proof
Is on the parties signing tho bond and tho
Justices, In cases of this character, are not
compelled to remember all the circtimtances.
Tho testimony of Collector M. J. Scanlan
was Inquired Into by Judge Bechtel, who
said that tlio Collector would be placed Iu
peculiar circumstances should tho namo of
Mrs. Mollot bo declared a forgery.
Borough Solicitor Burke presented a num
ber of authorities to show that tho testimony
of Mrs. Mellet was so flatly contradicted by
Mr. Scanlan, himself, that tho court could
haidly do anything else than discharge the
rulo. Ho also said that tho testimony of
Justices Card In aud Tourney was such that,
while they did not remember all the circum
stances that bad been alleged, they unequivo
cally sworo that Mrs. Mellet was preseut
when tho acknowledgments wcto taken.
John F. Whalen, Esq,, concluded the ar
gument aud agreed with tho court ou the
proposition that tho burden of proof de
volved upon Mrs, Mellet. Ilo also said that
tho judgment should not be opened upon the
simply contradiction of a bondsman. Mrs.
Mcllct's testimony, bo Bald, was contradic
tory In many respects; notably in ono in
stance, whero sho denied having signed the
1891 bond, and yet her namo appears on that
bond, and sho sold certain property some time
ago subject to her name appearing on that
boud. Mrs, Mellet first said that sho first
learned that her namo was ou tho 1895 bond
when hearing it talked about when she came
from Mahanoy City to Shenandoah about two
years ago; that sho mado no application to
Council at that time to have her name
stricken ou", Mr, Whalen also contended
that there was nothing in tho case for the
defense bu t tho mcro testimony of Mrs. Mollct
while, on tho other side, Scanlau's testimony
is direct and emphatic, and corroborated by
Justices Toomey and Cardln ; that tho latter
both testified that thoy would not have taken
the acknowledgments had not Mrs. Mellet
been present. Mr. Whalen argued that all
the bondsmen aro now seeking to get uudcr
covor, in anticipation of Mrs. Mellet being
relieved, and thus reliovo tho bondsmen
whoss names appear on tho bonds after Mrs.
Mellet. He added that there would have
been nothing of this kind had not Mr. Scan
lan boon a defaulter, and concluded with the
submission that there was uo occasion to dis
turb the Judgmont ontored. The court took
the papers and reserved its decision.
OTHER COUKT NOTES.
M. M. Burke, Esq., Borough Solicitor of
Shenandoah, to-day filed municipal liens
against tbo properties of Edward Downey,
Margaret Welsh, Mrs. Alvcy Shortall, Mrs.
Margaret Jones and Mrs. Mary Gallagher to
secure payment of the oxpeuscs incurred in
puiung uown pavements lu trout of proper

M. M. Burko, Esq., also made application
this morning for 'the appointment of an
Auditor to make appropriation of tho funds
in hands of tho Shoritr from tho sale of Tax
Collector Scaulan's store, and on Mr. Burke's
request J. R. Coylo, Esq., of Shenandoah,
was appointed Auditor by the court.
In the divorce case of Dietrich vs. Dietrich
a docreo was ordered by tho court.
An application was mado for a charter for
the Firemen's Association of Pottsvlllo,

In the caso of Shenandoah Lodgo No. 091.
I, O. O F., vs. John A. Rellly the court this
morning dismissed tbo rule to show causo
why the appeal should not bo stricken on".
Tbo County Commissioners last Monday
presented to court a petition to have a Tax
Collector appointed for chuylkill Haven, as
tho person elected bad failed to file a bond.
lo-day tbo court declared a vacancy iu the
ollico aud appointed Luke Fisher as Tax
Collector of that town.
THAT MIMINa $10,000.
Judge Endlich will bo hero next Thursday
to hear argument ou the motiou for a new
trial in tho caso of the Safe Deposit Bank vs.
the Cunty of Schuylkill, in which iho jury
rendered a verdict of fSO.OOO aud mteiest
against tho county. Judge Eudllcb, it will
bo remembered, during tho trial, reserved tho
point as to whether a payment made by the
bank to a clerk of tbo County Commissioners'
office was a payment to the couuty. This
point will also bo argued at the same time.
It is, therefore, piobablo that If tho Court is
convinced that such a payment was not a
payment to the county it may set aside tho
verdict. County Solicitor Bechtel is confident
tho couuty will not be compelled to pay the
?20,000 awarded by the jury, but If auy
payment is mado it will not bo over $8,000 at
tbo largest.
ARNOLD BIUNCH hUtT.
Sheriff Toolo placed the electiou proclama
tion in tbreo papers, ono of them, represent
ing tho minority party, being the Girardville
Press and Times. Controller Snyder refuses
to approvo tho bill for tho latter, on the
ground that it was illegal; claiming that tho
other (wo papora were Democratic and that
tbo Giraidville paper, having supported tho
Democratic nominees, should bo so classed
also thus violating the law so far as minority
represent itlon is conceincd. Editor Arnold
puts forth the claim that he represented the
minority party in that tho Press nnd Times
supported Swallow for Governor, and will
seek to recover by process of law. The law
empowers tho Sheriff to publish the procla
mation in two papers representing the
majority party and ono representing the
party 'polling tho next highest number of
votes.
TIIK DEMOCRATIC REFORMERS,
Quito a number of prominent Democratic
politicians were iu Pottsvlllo to-day and it
was expected tbo Poor Directors would make
public announcement of at least a portion
of their appointments, but they failed to do
so. The hungry place-buntors will continue
on tho ragged-odge until a fow days before
the holidays, as tlio statement was mado
that thn appointments would not bo an
nounced before that tlmo. Notwithstanding
Poor Director-elect Hurgan's public statement
that ho and his collcaguo would practically
Iguoro the communication of the Taxpayers'
Association, suggesting tbo dispensing of a
number of useless positions and the reduction
of salaries, it is known that tho Democratic
members havo held sovoral conferences will
V. 1.. Sheafer relative to theso matters. The
laxpayers' Association communication,
therefore, may bo productive of much bene
lit to tho taxpayers at largo.

Havana, Dec. 19. The Spanish evacu
ation commissioners Informed the
American commissioners last evening
that the Havana suburbs Cerro and
Jesus Del Monte had been evacuated.
The Spanish troops left Jesus Dol
Monte at 5 o'clock last evening, Im
mediately after which American and
Cuban ftafrs were raised, crackers fired
and the usual dcmostratlons made by
the cheering: crowds In honor of the
event.
The suburb of Cerro was evacuated
Saturday. American and Cuban flags
were displayed from the house on the
Calzada Del Cerro and crowds rushed
through the streets, shoutlne "Viva
Cuba Libre."
About half-past five Saturday night a
crowd of Cubans of the lower class
passed a barracks of the engineers on
the Infanta avenue, shouting- "Long
live Cuba" and "Death to Spain," and
firing shots Into the air In celebration
of the evacuation of Cerro. The en
gineers did not fire, but the guard was
doubled.
The crowd then passed on from the
Calzada Det Monte to the Calzada Del
Cerro, stopping the street cars and
compelling the passengers to shout
"Viva Cuba Libre." Among the dem
onstrators were a number of butchers,
who carried pistols and knives. Jose
Gancedo and his cousin, Teodoro Huer
tas, who wore on the cars, were wound
ed with knives. Gancedo died yester
day and Huertas will probably die.
Later the crowd met some engineers
at the Esqulna De Tejas and fired
upon them, seriously wounding one.
The engineers returned the Are, wound
ing n street oar conductor, a civilian,
Isodoro Dnsols, and John Leonard, a
colored man.
The rioting continued for half an
hour, many shots being Bred In front
of the Ca.sa De Socorro, where the
wounded were assisted.
Spanish soldiers were ordered to the
scone and arrived about 9 o'clock.
While marching through Cerro they
were fired upon by men concealed be
hind pillars. One Spanish private fell
wounded, and the battalion fired Into
tho air to scare the rioters. On re
suming their march they were again
fired upon and another man was hit.
The Spaniards then fired and dis
persed the rioters.
Among the wounded was a colored
woman, and It Is also reported that
there were several others. The rioting
caused great alarm In Cerro and along
the Calzada Del Monte.
