Judge Archibald handed down a decis-
ion yesterday in the councilmanic con-
test of the Third ward of Olyphant
borough. which gives the office to Ed
ward j. Burke. the one who was de-
feated on the face of the returns and
dispossesses James ]. Flynn, who has
served for two years. The election
was held on February 20. 1894.
The court orders that the borough of
Olyphant pay the costs of the pro-
ceedings. Burke was returned as hav-
Ing received SiXty-three votes. and
Flynn. sixty-five: but on a recount of
the ballots each was found to have re-

test showed that twenty nine ballots

lie Was Not NaturaIi lied,
One of those who were found to have
voted illegally was Anthony McHale
He was disqualified on account of being
an alien. who voted thirtyseventh on
the list. When the ballots turned up
no No. 81 could be discovered. There
were two No. 36s; it was evident that
one of these was the missing 81
Under the circumstances the two
voters, Thomas Sheridan, who voted
36, and Anthony McHale. whose bal
lot was the missing 81 evidently, We're
called into court to testify how they
voted. Upon their examination in open
court Sheridan said he voted for Burke
and McHale said he cast his ballot for
Flynn. This latter vote being cast by
an Illegal voter it was rejected.
Burke will take his seat at the next
meeting of the Olyphant council and
will serve one year, when the term eX
plres. Judge Archibald in passing upon
the ballots found four marked for Burke
by a single stroke instead of n cross;
he held that these votes should not be
thrown out because the purpose of the
voter was shown and indicated for
whom the votes We're intended.
