Judge Reed handed down his decision
in the Punxsutawney ballot fraud case
last week. in which he scores unmerci'
fully the member of the election board
guilty of the crime and does not entire
ly hold the other members of the board
blameless. Following is Judge Reeds
decision:
THE petitioners allege that the vote
cast for constable in the north precinct
of the election district of Punxsutawney
borough was falsely read, computed and
certified by the election officers of that
district, and the evidence fully sustains,
in this respect, the allegations of the
petition. and discloses state of affairs
truly startling. A disposition to ex-
culpate, as far rs possible, all who We're
not actively concerned in this astound-
ing criminal conduct, leads us to remark
that the testimony points to but one
member of the election board who acted
corruptly The other members of the
board are only censurable in so far as
their passive conduct and neglect Of
duty made it possible for their associate
TO carry into effect his criminal purpose.
They cannot, however, be held entirely
blameless, because II they had exercised
that degree of care and vigilance which
the law imposes upon every election
officer, this bold, despicable scheme to
defeat the will OF the majority never
could have succeeded to the extent it
did.
The right to cast free ballot, and to
have 1t honestly counted, is inherent in
our form OF government, and the election
officer who wilfully and corruptly
tampers with this right is at once an
object of pity and contempt. He richly
deserves the political ostracism which
follows such criminal conduct, and he
should also be made to suffer the legal
penalty of his crime.
The testimony in this case is clear,
convincing, and beyond dispute that the
ballots in the north precinct, so far
as they related to the Office of constable,
were falsely and fraudulently read.
computed and certified. The second
night following the election, the ballot
box for this precinct was broken open,
and 1l3 ballots removed therefrom, nc
doubt with a view of destroying the
evidence of the fraudulent count
previously made. There were 316 bal
lots cast, and of this number 263 remain.
ed in the box. An examination of these
ballots showed l42 for Ben Record, l0C
for |. N. Graffius, blank and void as
to constable, and by an inspection OF
the ballot numbers, and checking them
on the tally list remaining in the box
it was ascertained who cast the IL:
missing ballots. The testimony of l0s
of these electors was taken, and Of that
number so swore they voted for Ben
Record, 40 for [. N. Garfiius. and
declined to disclose for whom they
voted. The count of the vote as cast ii
the south precinct is not questioned
and the return shows that Ben. RECORD

1t Is seldom that the courts are called
upon to investigate a more palpable
and outrageous fraud than the one per-
petrated In this case. Its denunciation
cannot be couched in language too
severe. The offence is closely allied to
treason, and the man who is most loath-
ed and dcspiscd is the man who is a
traitor to his country and to his
country's institutions. BY his treachery
and betrayal of a sacred trust he
becomes marked man at whom the
ages point the finger OF contempt and
scorn, and his posterity welcome the
time when they can deny that they
ever knew him.
And now, June 9th, 1896, having fully
heard and considered this case, it Is

return of the election board of Punxsu-
tawney Borough Of the election Of l. N.

Glass Houses.

There We're whole streets in Tyre ell
tirely occupied by glass works, and it is
stated that the first glass houses were
erected in Tyre. The glass houses of
Alexandria were highly celebrated for
the ingenuity and skill of their work
men and the extent of their manufac-
lures.
Layard, in writing about his discov-
cries among the ruins of Nineveh and
Babylon, says: "In one chamber were
found two entire glass bowls, with frag-
ments of others. These bowls are prob
ably of the same period as the small
bottle found in the ruins of the north
west palace during the previous excava-
lions, and now in the British museum.
On this highly interesting relic is the
name of Sargon, with his title of king
OF Assyria, in cuneiform characters, and
the figure Of lion. We are, therefore,
able to fix its date to the latter part Of
the seventh century B. c. 1t is conse-

sewed ON the top and turned over on the

back and front. The corners are of ba-
tiste tucked on the edge, plain in the
center, with row of valenciennes lace
inlaid between. The four corners of a
fine openwork handkerchief could be
taken for this purpose. Sometimes q
band of ribbon is fitted around the lawn
band and tied in q bow at the back.
Otherwise the band is worn inside of q
high dress collar, with the points falling
outside over the edges Of the collar"

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

An Explanation and illustration which
the Children Can Understand.
"Papa, what makes thunder and
ightning?''
"That is very easily answered. There
is one branch of electricity called static
electricity. It is the kind that makes
sparks when You rub q cats back the
wrong way in the dark and is caused in
many way, such as friction, condensa-
ton and evaporation and especially
those changes which are going ON in the
atmosphere. The electricity accumulates
according to certain laws, and the clouds
often become heavily charged with it.
Well. these clouds sometimes become
overcharged, especially in hot weather,
and the electricity tries to reach the
earth. told you one time that air is o
bad conductor, SO the intensity of the
charge must become great enough to
pierce the air. When this point is reach
ed, the charge pierces the air in what
we call a streak of lightning.
Elm doing this long streak of vacu-
um, as We might call it, is produced in
the air.
"Now, as the air rushes into the
vacuum it makes a loud report, and if
sound did not travel so slowly we should
only hear a single report like cannon,
but the space covered by q fash of
lightning is probably mile or two long.

WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
BOW It Il Manufactured and Some Of It,
Peculiarities.

bow It Is Manufactured and Some Of Its
Peculiarities.
The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
As yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten by hand
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about three-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots are passed between pol
ished steel rollers and flattened out into
ribbons of about an eight-hundredth of
an inch in thickness. The ribbons are
softened by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is irclosed i'll Il double parchment case
and beaten with a 16 pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to 4
inch squares. They are then taken from
the case, and each square is. cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
sl1in-a delicate membrane prepared
| tuc lutSStlAC VI tuc OA-IQdOc
into piles, inclosed in q parchment case
and again beaten, but with a hammer of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces 2, 400 leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one two hundred thousandths of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain q still greater degree of thin
ness, but not profitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed ON a cushion,
blown out flat and carefully cut into
squares 81 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhesions
of the gold, each paper book containing
% squares or leaves of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
by superficial measure. -Philadelphia
