Novel Development of Legal Points In q
Local Option Case.
Monday last the prOhibitiOnists gave
evidence Of their fixed determination to
enforce the recently enacted local-OptiOn
law, now in force in Cecil, by arresting
John Long, hotel keeper in ElktOn. It
appears that the employees of the dredg-
ing machine. engaged in widening the
channel of Elk river, near ElktOn, have
been SO much under the influence of
'tspirituous and fermented liquors. that
they were unable to attend to their duties
Capt. JOlliffe. who is supervising the work
felt very much harassed at the delay, and
Immediately made successful effort
to have the viOlatOr of the law punished,
who proved to be the aforesaid Long.
He was brought before Justice Lewis.
George A Blake and L. Marshall Haines
appeared as prosecuting attorneys, and
Hon. Albert Constable as counsel for the
defense. After considerable discussion
verdict of guilty was rendered, and the Of
fender fined so cents and costs. At this
stage of the case the prosecuting attorney
ordered the commitment of the principal
prosecuting witness, on the ground that
the defense had a period Of sixty days to
take an appeal to the circuit court that
the principal witness upon whose testi-
mony they relied solely, and who was evil
IDENTIFY hostile to the prosecution, would
leave the state, and that the justice of
the peace had concurrent jurisdiction with
the circuit court to enforce said commit
ment. Mr.. Constable objected to holding
the witness, and argued that the magis-
trate had no jurisdiction so to do; that
with the decision finding the prisoner
guilty all jurisdiction of the justice over
the case ceased that in this case no appeal
had been taken to the circuit court, and al
though the prisoner had the period ofsixty
days to determine whether he would take
in appeal, that such right of appeal could
not operate to continue the Justices juris-
diction, which had ceased with the decision;
that in case of trial in the circuit court
nobody bad ever supposed that after
judgment of guilty the court would have
power to hold witnesses on the suppOsition
that an appeal might be taken, and they
might bo needed at some
future trial. He claimed that the only
power given to magistrates to hold wit
nesses was where prisoner was held for
trial, and that in all cases and in
all courts, in the absence of
special legislation comforting such power,
there was no authority to hold witness
when the case had been terminated by a
verdict of guilty or not guilty. However,
the witness was required to give security

MILLERsvILLE, June 9, 1881.
Tothe Editors ofthe InteUigencer:
The following letter containing state
ment of tho facts in regard to my suspen-
sion was handed to the board Of trustees
of the state normal school at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon. No answer was
received. I would not presume against
the manners of the gentlemen composing
the board to such an extent as to suppose
that they would fail to notice communi-
cation addressed to them in such respect
full terms. To my mind it can indicate
only one thing-that the board Of trustees
is not willing to be held responsible for
my suspension. Hoping you will give me
this opportunity to make a fair statement
of my case, I am
Very truly yours,

Ten Men Who Wanted u Cheap Lodging
Last night shortly before II o'clock q
gang of ten tr:smps were found in freight
car which WAS standing on siding of tho
Pennsylvania railroad company Mt tho
Harrisburg turnpike. The car WAS loaded
with balcd hay, and after the tramps en-
tered it they tore open several of the
nay bales and made beds for Them
selves. The men, Were discovered
by the boss Of the section who
was walking past the car. IIe informed
Officer Flick, who, with Chief Of Police
Deicller and Officer Daily, went to the
car and captured the whole gang and they
were taken to the station house. They
gave their names rs follows John Gravel,
Thomas Hughes, Henry Kelly, James
Lynch, John Baily, John Martin, James
Chapman. James Duffy. VIM. McHenry
and VIM. Burns. The railroad officials
made complaint before Alderman A. F..
DOnneliy. charging the men with malicious
mischief, AMI they were committed to
prison for u he .riny. Some of these men
arc rather we'll dressed and the faces of
very few, If any Of them, are familiar to
our police courts. The names given by
them are no doubt fictitious.

WE are glad to see both of our esteem
ed local Republican contemporaries
heartily approving and urging the rigid
enforcement of the Lands bill to punish
frauds at primary elections. As the
Examiner. points out, it is strangely de-
fective in its failure to make provision
for the punishment of election officers
who stuff, tinker or make fraudulent
returns - the Ezansiaer's other objec-
tion that it does not punish Democrats
for voting at Republican primaries, OF
Republicans at Democratic elec-
tions, may be met by the general
provisions Of the bill, since per-
sons rarely ever 50 vote without
a corrupt consideration. On the whole
it is very sweeping bill, not SO sweep
ing, we trust, as to overreach its laud-
able objects. 1t is augreat point gained to
have it enacted, and to have the organs
of both factions here urge its enforce
ment. The evils at the primaries once
corrected, the decentralization at the gen.
eral elections which flowed from them
may be cured. With the Landis law, and
the penal acts in force to punish frauds
at the general elections, no guilty man
ought to escape punishment for offences
against the purity of the ballot. Let us
have a committee Of One eHundred-One-
third of each Republican faction and
one-third Democrats punish all offen-
ders without fear, favor or affection.

MILLERsvILLE, June ., 1881.
To the Board Of Trustees State Normal School,
MitIersriAe, Pd.:
GENTLEMEN have lately been a stu
dent and a member of tho present senior
class of the state normal school. Yester-
day afternoon, in company with several
other gentlemen, went into the Office to
see DR.. Brooks in reference to the ques.
tion of suspension. AS you doubtless are
aware, DR.. Brooks had announced the
resolution that any student who withdrew
from the school without permission would
bo suspended. l told DR.. Brooks that
had withdrawn from the school under
those circumstances and wished to know
whether [ was suspended. l told him I
understood the custom was to personally
notify or publicly announce in a case of
suspension. DIR. Brooks refused to an
swer my question in direct manner, and
told us that we would be met by a COM
mittee from the faculty after supper. We
went in at that time and asked the COM
mittee, consisting of DR.. Brooks and six
other members of the faculty, the same
question and received the same cvasive
answer. Finally, on my repeated demands
to know whether l was suspended
or not, Mr.. Westlake moved that be sus-
pended; Mr.. Lyte seconded the motion,
and, after formal vote of the committee,
the announcement was made that / was
suspended Some of tho gentlemen who
accompanied me stated their cases as being
similar, but no action was taken in refer
ence to them. Before leaving DR.. Brooks
told me that I had never IN his knowledge
violated any rule of the institution in my
stay of four terms, except the alleged
violation in reference to withdrawing. He
also stated that if wished to come back
to school I would be received. If the
simple act of again attending school would
remove my guilt, in what does my crime
consist L? All these facts stated can be es-
tablished by proof. My desire is to know
who is willing to be made responsible for
this action Is DR.. Brooks responsible
is the faculty responsible, or is the board
of trustees responsible ? Who assumes the
for it? Hoping this will
receive your prompt consideration,
remain,
Yours very respectfully,
II. G. DORNHEIM.
