The trial Of William Westervelt
for completely In the abduction of Char
lie Ross has been in progress in Phila-
delphla for two weeks. Westervelt's
implication with the abduction was dis.
covered through the confession of Mosh-
er and Douglas, the burgulars who were
shot at Bay Ridge in December last.
Mr.. Ross, father of Charlie, was exam
ined. His testimony related only to
the disappearance of the abducted boy.
After the circumstances Of the abduc-
tion were shown, the testimony ad-
duced went to prove that Westervelt
was intimately associated with Mosher
and Douglass. and also that he was an
accessory to the crlme,-at least after
the fact. The testimony of Mrs. Peer,
of Brooklyn, excited deep interest. She
testified:

The Democratic nominee for State
Treasurer, Victor E. Piollett, is of &
French family, and was born at Wysex,
Bradford county, in 1912. He was a
farmer for many years, but possessing
literary abilities and power as a public
speaker, he entered politics, and was
elected to the Legislature In l646
and again 1S47. He was nominated
for Congress In 1864, but was defeated,
and, like Mr.. Pershlng, had the same
experience on two successive occasions,
being candidate In q strong Republl-
can district. During the war with
Mexico Mr.. Plollett served as paymas-
ter, and since that time he has been en-.
gagged in farming and stock raising in
his native county. He Is said TO be
identified with the Granger interest,
and to be in some respects their repre-
sentative.

The Duty of the Hour.

Notwithstanding the long and fancied
security of number of our citizens in
regard to the breaking out of a conAagra-
tion in our midst, the fire-fend has at
last visited us. For upwards of a year
past number of our citizens have or.
ganized and worked with indomitable
perseverance for the establishment of a
fire company, which would be available
in case Of emergency. In number Of
cases where they have applied for help
to meet the expense Of needed appara-
tus, they have been met with the res.
ponse, "No What do we want with
q fire company in Lehighton ?" and
bHttoning up their pockets, treated the
members of Lehigh Hook and Ladder
Company with disdain, IL not actual
scorn and contempt. This, thank God ,
has not been the case with all our peo-
pie ; had 1t been, to-day we might
chronicle the fact that the finest por
tion OF our borough lay mouldering In
ashes. Yes, a goodly portion of our
people have been ever ready, with iu-
fuence and purse, to help and encour.
age the company In Its efforts for sue.
cess. And we'll and nobly did the boys
Of Lehigh Hook and Ladder Company
do their duty on Wednesday morning,
eliciting the highest praise Of our citi-
zens In general for the perseverance, and
daring with which they battled the fiery
element.
And now, that you have witnessed
the importance of having fire depart
ment, and the willingness with which
Its members rush to your assistance in
the hour Of peril, will you furnish the
means for procuring more and still
needed apparatus for successfully bat.
tling fireP The "Little Giant" they
already have, fully proved It's value on
this occasion, holding in check and
finally extinguishing the hugh flames
as they rushed again and again towards
Mr.. Obert's residence. Other of these
machines are needed, unless, indeed,
our people shall determine at once Ia
introduce q good supply of water, put
in fire plugs and obtain Other and larger
apparatus for putting out fire. Let
our citizens hold mass meeting at once,
to-day not q month hence, and deter
mine what shall be done. Delays are
