The JUDIJIAL CONTEST.
WHAT REMAINS TO BE DoNE-EXCEF-
TIONS THAT WILL BE TAKEN BY At
TORNEYS.

In the olttser Durham judicial con
test case the attorneys on both sides
are busy making out briefs to be pre-
sented to the contest court at Laporte
on Aug. 9. These briefs will set
forth in detail all the votes which they
will ask to have thrown out, together
with their reasons for so asking, and
will embody all the rulings which the
court will be asked to make. The
order OF procedure will then be for
the judges to pass upon the matters
presented, to which finding each party
may file exceptions, and the argument
of the case will be upon the excep-
tions filed, at such time as then be
fixed. The whole case will then be
on record and in shape for a writ of
error to the Supreme Court should
either party desire it,
Among the things which the court
will be asked to rule upon will be the
constitutionality of the act under
which it is constituted. The iurisdic-
ton OF the court and its right to act
since the retirement of Judge Rice
and the authority for substituting
Judge Woodward at this stage of the
proceedings, will also be questioned
by both sides.
Another interesting question to be
passed upon will be the motions to
throw out the entire poll in certain
precincts where the polling places
were changed before election withou,
an order OF court, as required by law
If all SO challenged should be thrown

A DEAL FOR NEXT GOVERNOR.
LElsENRING, OF LUzERNE, SAID TO
BE PROMISED SUCCESSION TO
HASTINGS BY THE COMBINE.

HAzLEToN, July 22. For some
time the ftiends of Congressman John
Leisenring have been endeavoring to
shape matters to launch him as a
Gubernatorial candidate on the Re.
publican ticket in 1898. TO the po
litlcians of this section this fact has
been quite clear and his recent
alliance with Governor Hastings and
the Philadelphia leaders showed that
the boom was forming. 1t came this
morning when the following significant
article from the pen of Editor Boyd
appeared in the Wilkes Barre Neacs-
Dealer, the strongest Democratic
paper in the county and at present an
anti-Quay organ. 1t says in part
" Hon John Leisenring is an emf.
nently practical politician, and the
story that the Hastings allies have
made terms with him on the basis
that he will be a candidate for
Governor in 1893 is not to be doubt
ed. There is no reason why he
should not be made the next Guber.
material candidate to succeed Hast
ings and lis determination should be
encouraged. The .Ne,os-D Dealer is
for candidate for Governor from
Luzerne, and if the candidate is a
Republican it ought to he Leisenriog,
the man who won the greatest politi-
cal battle in the history of the
county"

Attorney Gans,al Mccormick gave
the department Of pubic instruction
an opinion which practically suspends
the operations OF the compulsory edu-
cation law until next year. Section
iour Of the Far dc. requires the as.
SCISSORS to make registration at the
regular Spring assessment, or as soon
thereafter as may be OF all the chill.
dren in their respective districts be-
tween the ages of eight and thirteen
years, giving name, age and residence
Of each. Upon the completion of
this registration the county commits
sioners are required to certify the
names to the secretary of the proper
school district, who shall Immediately
furnish the principal or teacher of each
school with list of the children in
his or her district who are subject to
the provisions OF the compulsory law.
In order to answer many inquiries
Deputy Superintendent Stewart asked
the attorney general whether county
commissioners are required to furnish
the necessary blanks and books to
the assessors Immediately preparatory
to making the enumeration and en-
rollment this year, and whether the
duty of making this registration is
mandatory upon the assessors and
commissioners before the Spring regis
tration of voters in 1896. AS the act
was not approved until May 20 and
the Spring assessment was completed
in all the counties the attorney
general decided that the section must
refer to the assessment in the Spring
of 1896 and SO instructed the school
department. This decision will save
the counties many thousands of dol.
lars as arrangements were being made
for a special registration.

Pay for JUDGES and Inspectors.

Under the law passed by the legisla-
ture and approved by the Governor,
the pay of judges and inspectors OF
elections will hereafter be $3.50, and
of clerks So, without regard to how
long they are engaged in holding the
election and making up the returns
Under the operation of the law there
no longer will be any incentive for
the election officers to stretch the
work across the midnight line and
thus make two days of it.

The Philadelphia Inquirer prints a
list of republican newspapers in Penn
sylvania that have declared either for
Quay or Hastings in the present fight.
There are eighty-two for Quay, and
twenty eight for Hastings. The Col.
umbia County Republican is put in
the Quay list. We have not observed
any positive declaration in the Re,
publican on this subject, but it has
been urging the republican voters not
to introduce fight in this county. 1t
is generally understood that Mr..
Brown is for Quay, and it is conf,
IDENTITY expected that the delegates
from here will support Quay for state
chairman. Wait and see.

the odor Of smoke, aud on going to
her husbands room, found the lamp
overturned and the room in 8 blaze.
She repeatedly attempted to drag
Sweeny to the stairs, but was
unable. She was severely burned
before she abandoned the attempt,
and to save her own life leaped fIcm

flames and was terribly buised by her

Heroic Measures Taken il Mis
souri, to Check Small Poz

81. Lcuss, March S.-T'he epidemic
Of small pox has spread 70 such an
extent that the city and State author
ifies have decided to take heroic
measures 10 dealing with the disease.
\ corps Of physicians visited the
woIkhouse this morning and after
examining the four hundred inmates,
found twelve prisoners who ere be-
lieved to be suffering from small pox.
They were quarantined and the re-
mainder v~accinated. This afternoon
a thorough inspection Of public
schools will be commenced and if
any pupil afflicted with small pox
symptoms is found the school will be
closed. The house for refuge Will
also be visited for small pox victims.
The State board Of health met with
Governor Stone today at Jefferson
City and issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting sheriffs of all the counties in
Missouri from bringing prisoners to
the State penitentiary while the
small pox exists in so many towns Of
the St2te. The proclamation is taken
as a precautionary measure.
There are l22 small pox patients
at quarantine in St. Louis and four
new cases were discovered to-day.
