QUO WARRANTO 70 FOLLOW
Justices LawlOr and Cardin Hang Up
Their Commissions.
WILL ATTEMPT TO GUST OTHERS
They Claim They Are the only Legally
Elected and Bona Eide Justices Under
the Law in the Borough-A Hot
Fight Expected.

John j. Cardin and NJ. J. Lawlor to-day
commenced business as Justices of the Peace
Of the Borough and the question as to
whether their claims to the offices are well
founded in law will now be brought to a well
defined issue, as they to-day made arrange.
ments to commence quo warranto proceedings
to oust William II. Shoemaker jeremiah
Toomey, c. w. Dengler, T. T. Williams, p
w. Bierstein, Walter Rynkiewicz, Daniel
Bailey and others who may claim to
hold or be entitled to commissions as
Justices of the Peace in wards. Messrs.
Cardin and Lawlor claim they are the only
legally elected and bona fde Justices in the
borough under commissions received by
them yesterday, and they have the commits
sions framed and displayed in their offices.
1t is also claimed that the mandamus pro-
ceedings which are to come before the court
at Pottsville on Monday morning are not
material, but will be pressed more to show
Judges of Election that all votes cast at an
election must be returned to the proper au-
thorities of the county, the point being that
whenever it can he determined what office
and what candidate voter ballots for that
vote must be counted and returned.
As to the Baker ballot law, it is claimed
the case is not affected by it, the law being
directory and not mandatory and not pro-
hibiting any citizen to run for any office he
may see fit to seek.
Of course, the other Justices are quite as
determined that they are right and, as re-
ported in yesterdays HERALD, will fight the
case to the bitter end. The real battle will
be waged when proceedings are taken to oust
them.
Inquiry as to how Justices Cardn and
Lawlor secured returns upon which to base
their applications for commissions shows that
the Second and Fifth ward returns were
made by the Judges of Election, while the
First, Third and Fourth wards are covered
by attidavits of people who claim that so
many votes were cast in the respective wards
for the offices claimed. These returns were
satisfactory to the State Department and
upon them the commissions were granted.
Meanwhile j. X. p. Scheify is going ahead
with his suit for $50, 600 damages against the
state for Withholding the commission he ap-
piled for under election in the spring of 1856.
At that election Mr.. Scheihy polled Si7 votes
and Justice Dengler 63i. Mr. Dengler AT the
same time ran for Justice of the Peace in the
Second ward, and received his commission
for that office, but was refused a commission
as Justice of the Peace of the borough Mr.
Scheify has employed W. d. Seltzer Esq
as his attorney, and they were engaged to-
day in preparing papers for the suit for dam
ages.

A Religious Maniac.

HARRISBURG March 7.-Charles B. Ram
say, the Juniata county farmer who muir
dered his wife Ellie while in a religious
frenzy at their home near East Waterford
last Sunday night, was brought to Harris
burg Insane hospital yesterday His crime
was one of the most shocking in the an
mails of the state, and will be supplemented
by his self destruction unless prevented by
the hospital authorities. Ramsay went
mad on religion, and sacrificed his wife
because OF his conviction that Christ was
coming on earth again. He is raving
maniac, and the officers had much diff
Guilty in taking him from the jail to the
railroad station. He made several at
tempts to commit suicide in Jail. Once he
set fire to his clothing. Another time he
took n lid from redhot stove and thrust
his hand and arms in the Goals of fire
horribly burning himself. The religious
mania is still on him.

ST Louis, March 7.-General L n.
Walker commander-in- chief Of the G. A.

ment encampment at Minneapolis. He
SAID he had read the Washington dispatch
IN which Senator Gordon, n commander
1n-chief of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, spoke in reference to the proposed
joint parade of the Blue and Gray in New
York on July 4. He stated that the Union
soldiers harbored no i'll will or vindictive
feeling towards their late foes in arms.
but they do insist that both their banner
and their uniform should be laid ayav.
and If possible forgotten, as General Lee
suggested when he surrendered at Appo-
mattox.
General Walker stated that the telegram
sent out from Wilmington, Del, last
week, giving purported interview with
him in which he was quoted as using vim
dlctlve language toward Confederate sol
diers, was a pure Justification. He then
went on to say:
I'VE did not think it for the best inter.
est of our common country to join our late
Toes IN battle in grand parade in New
York in July after they had finished un-
yelling their monument at Richmond, Va,
clad in a uniform that should be doffed at

The Anthracite trade is quiet; there will
be about the same tonnage produced and
shipped during March as in last MONTH and
this quantity will be sufficient to meet the
requirements of the market No great
activity or demand for coal is to be looked
for in the first half of this year and the out
put will necessarily be kept within bounds
during that time. Business methods should
prevail, and there is no movement likely to
be taken in any other direction. Prices are
nominally unchanged from the list recently
made.

that ballet, properly comparisoned, AID

an added feature TO an otherwise most ex-

well at least.
