INTERESTING DECISION
Judge Schuyler Decides Question o
Intent of Voters.

Judge Schuyler Decides Question on
Intent of Voters.
Judge Schuyler decided an interesting
contested election case at Easton on Mon
day In February last, Levi Coleman,
Republican, of Palmer township, was
returned by the election board as having
received 10S votes for Justice of the Peace
and Frank Il. Gernet, Democrat, 200 votes.
Coleman contested on the ground that
three ballots cast for him had been thrown
out by the election officers as improper,
whereas they were legal ballots and
should have been counted for him, and
thus would have given him the majority
When the ballot box was brought into
court and the ballots inspected it was
found that two ballots which had been re-
jected had each a cross mark in the circle
above the Democratic column, and in
each there was cross in the square to the
right of the name of Mr.. Coleman. In
neither was there mark opposie the name
of Mr.. Gernet. Judge Schuyler decided
that these two ballots belong to Mr.. Cole
man. Though the voter had marked the
ballot in way that voted the entire
Democratic ticket. he had shown that for
Justice OF the Peace he meant to vote for
Mr.. Coleman, the Republican candidate.
In the third disputed ballot there are
no crosses anywhere, but number of
names in both the Republican and Dem
ocratic columns, including Mr.. Gernet's
name, but not Mr.. Coleman's, are erased
with lead pencil. Judge Schuyler ruled
that this shows the plain intent of the
voter, and while the ballot is not marked
as required by law, there is nothing in
the act that gives the election officers
any authority to reject a ballot because
the voter did not mark in "the appropriate
margin or place cross (X) opposite the
name of the candidate Of his choice" as
the act of Assembly says he "shall" do.
The ballot was counted for Coleman, and
this gave him POI votes and Gernet 200, a
majority of for Coleman.

Constable Giblin, accompanied by special

The officers took the trio over to Justice
Toomey's office and three hours were
spent in listening to the story, but it was
not until almost the last moment that
the cause for the battle was learned.
Anthony kOakinavage became the COM
plainaut. He said he stood in front of a
saloon next to Bradley's shop, talking to
the proprietor, when the two prisoners,
Joseph Marakus and Joseph Martin, ap-
preached and made an assault upon him
koakinavage ran into the saloon and out

then into Bradley's meat market, all the
while followed by Marakus and Martin.

Justice Toomey, to which the complain
ant answered he did not know. The
prisoners were than asked why they
made the assault but no satisfactory
answer could be elected.
The complainant, who had lump under
his left eye the size of an egg, a remnant
of the battle, told a story which was
calculated to lead the Justice to believe
that he was victim of conspiracy and
that an effort had been made to kill him
for no reason.
At this point bystapders commenced
talking and their remarks got the COM

John Coyne, the humorous and ever
watchful little man who operates the
safety gates at the Lloyd street crossing
Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, performed
very graceful act the other day. The
flow OF water consequent upon the heavy
rain undermined some OF the surface at
the crossing and when Farmer Jones, of
tbs Catawissa valley, attempted to drive
over the crossing his horses fore feet and
legs dropped through the crust into the
sewer. There were none only johnny
Coyne to give assistance and the former
seemed to be in as bad predicament as
his horse was in. Coyne is original in
many respects and this time he was equal
to the occasion. "Wel first put down
the gates so no more hayseeders will
drive into the place, said the phiosophi
cal gatemar, and suiting the action to the
words he did lower the gates Coyne
then hurried off in search of some section
men and shortly after returned with them
and got the horse out of the hole. A.

EDITOR HERALD: "What Shenandoah,

impossible" was the remark made by an

seemingly the case. Everybody seems to
be on the tiptoe of expectancy, patiently
awaiting the organization of a home team,
but none inspired with enough 20 ahead
ativeness to undertake the initial step.

glowing prospects of the year, return after

a team 20 represent us in the field to start
the ball a-rOlling. / have been informed
at this writing that we have a choicy nine
formed in town who are negotiating for
games, but whose only set back is the
want OF uniforms. Why not present them
with the old uniforms, since there is no
service for them 1t would seem a graft
flying act since the boys can so i'll afford
to purchase them and would merit the
praise OF an anxious public.
