In view Of the rumors of a contest
of the judicial election it will inter
est our readers to know how 1t will
effect the tax payers of the county.
AS contest opens all of the ballot
boxes, and permits the calling of
witnesses as to every disputed vote,
it requires many witnesses and con-
sumes great deal of time. The
contested election case ,c Lycoming
county lasted nearly two Years, and
the expenses, we understand, exceed
ed thirty thousand dollars. The
attorney fees were not less than four
thousand dollars. Considering the
logger distances that witnesses must
travel in this district, it is not too
much to assume that the costs in
this case would exceed those in Ly-
coming county.
The next question is, who pays
this cost? 1t may be answered by
saying first, that in no case can it
fall upon the Judge whose seat is
contested, and an allowance is made
for his attorneys fees, which we un-
derstand, in the Lycoming county
case was fixed at two thousand dol
lars, and paid by the county. Sec
ondly it may be answered that, in
case the contestant fails to establish
his case, the whole cost may fall up
on the persons who signed his peti-
ton or upon the district. The act
of assembly provides that the petit
tioners shall pay the costs, unless
the judges who try the case shall
certify that there was a reasonable
cause for the contest. 1t cannot be
predicted therefore with any certain>
ty whether the cost will fall upon
the petitioners or upon the county.
The tax payers of this county are
already heavily burdened and will no
doubt heartily pray that the costs
may fall upon the petitioners; and
in case it does not, will have a reck>
oning hereafter with the men who
caused it.

de Marcus sent into his own skull
The woman was young and beautiful.
She wore back silk stockings and low
cut patent -leather shoes. De Marcus was
fully dressed in black suit, and he. too,
wore low shoes and striped half-hose.
The clothing of the couple was care
fully examined, and there were found the
things that solved the tragedy and told
of the bitterness of love-a love that
would never be blissful or peaceful in
life.
From the letters were found the names
and addresses of both. Two Of the let
ters were In French and one In English.
The first that was translated was as fol-
lows:
We die in perfect health and with clear minds.

quest that 10 knife be put on our bodies, and that

There Is also letter in Russian
addressed by the man to sam
Backowitz.
Nine photographs were found among
their effects-six of Juliette in various
poses and costumes. one of Julius and
one OF a group of two men and a little
girl.
One Of the pictures, that of Julius, had
a background resembling a prison wall.
1t showed him to have been we'll dressed.
All of the girls portraits were taken
by Ehm, a photographer at 7oS Broad
way, Brooklyn, in which neighborhood
she lived.
Juliette's pocketbook was costly ar
ticle of snake skin. He had silver
watch in his pocket, $2.2 and quantity
of small pieces of inexpensive Jewelry.
The girls fingers were loaded with
rings. There was the little plain band
ring of gold encircling the marriage
finger. There were dainty solitaire
rings, and cluster rings of diamonds and
emeralds.
In her tiny shell-like ears were spark
ling solitaires. not very large, but very

| Deputy Coroner Cum visited the
Morgue and viewed the bodies of the
unfortunate julius and Juliette. He
said he would make no autopsies to-
day, but would wait until the relatives
of the couple took some action in the
matter.
There Is a mystery around the family
| life Of the Fourniers which those mos
interested do not seem inclined to assls
in unravelling. The dead woman, Mrs
Juliette Fourier, was the wife of Herr,
Fourier, of 354 South Fourth street
Brooklyn, and the daughter of j. Four
nier, a machinist, at Throp and Gwi
nette streets. Brooklyn
She was married ten months ago. 4

bride of ten months, the wife, In fact
of her own uncle, man said to be
much older than herself, and she had
fallen in love with julius de Marcus,
handsome young man Of romantic
temperament, who violently reciprocated
her affection. A revolver tightly grasped
in the mans right hand, with only TWO
bullets discharged. told the story plainly
enough of how these misguided lovers
met their tragic ends.
From the position of the bodies wnen
found by Park Policeman Thomas Flynn
1t Is certain that Juliette was the hrst
to die, and that julius then sent bull
let into his own wandering brain, falling
prone on the body of his sweetheart. She
was stretched at full length, face down
ward, on the velvety emerald sward, ana
he, too. fell face down, his lips still ca
ressing the raven tresses of his adored
in death. Their life blood commingled
In pool beneath the woman's face.
1t was CHASTITY! The woman, to make
the task of self-destruction certain
had removed all her outer clothing
she had even taken off her corsets
that her barred bosom would offer abso
lutely no resistance to the leaden mes
senger OF death that was to free he
from a union that was worse thar
death to her. Whether the shot tina
freed pretty Juliette from that bondag
was free by her own hand or wa
guided by de Marcus will never b
known perhaps.
