The .InstIce or the Penoe Cnses.

The argument in the quo waranto pro-
ceedings against Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City ward Justices of the Peace was heard
in the Dauphin county court yesterday,
Judge Mcpherson occupying the bench.
Deputy Attorney General Elkins and Mr..
Olmstead, for the commonwealth, and
Messrs. W. d. Settler, A. w. Schalck and
George J. Wadlinger for the defendants ad-
dressed the court in the order named. The
court is expected to render decision at an
early date. The report that Messrs Lawlor
and Cardin, of town, and Coyle and Jones,
of Mahanoy City, had received their COM
missions as Borough Justices for five years is
correct They hold commissions for five
years, dated April 9th, and were TO be for

A Frenehman's Views ON Cuba.

PARIS, April "a French resident OF
Cuba, writing to The Soir, draws lament
able picture of the ferocious character the
war has assumed under Weyler. He be-
lieves however, that the rebels will event
ually shake off the Spanish rule Hestates
that Weyler allows the troops to shoot and
bayonet villagers suspected of harbofing
insurgents. "a few days ago, " he oontin-
ues, "a band of volunteers, infuriated by
the resolutions of the American senate,
shot six sons of an American farmer at
Casiguas. The United States consul gen.
eral is inquiring into the matter"

A Jealous woman's Divorce Refused.

TRENTON, April 8. = Vice Chancellor
Reed yesterday filed on opinion denying
the application of Celine Duvale for di.
vorce from her husband, Charles f. Du-
vale, on the ground of cruelty. The Du-
wales have resided for several summers
past at Atlantic Highlands. They were
married in New York in 1877 and lived
since then in that city and Philadelphia.
Mrs. Duvale sought divorce in the New
York courts in 1893 but the application
was dismissed. She then took the case to
this state. The testimony is wearisome
recital of chickering's and alleged blows, in
which the wife seemed always to be the
provoking spirit because of her lack of
confidence in her husbands fidelity, a
suspicion, the vice chancellor says, not at
all warranted.

THE argument in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings against shenandoah and Mahanoy
City ward Justices Of the Peace was heard
yesterday before Judge Mcpherson, in the
Dauphin county court but no decision has
been given. Judge Mcpherson, however
handed down an opinion on Tuesday that has
a bearing upon the Justice controversy. At
the February election at EliMbethyille, each
party nominated and certified TO the County
Commissioners but three candidates for
Council, though the borough is entitled 10
seven. The names of the six candidates were
the only ones on the official ballot, but the
names Of two additional candidates were
written in the blank column on IA ballots
cast and those Of two more on l3 ballots The
term of Office, two for two years each, and
two for one year were also written by the
voters in the blank column. Judge Nc
Pherson holds that nothing can be written in
the bank column except a name, and the
votes east for the four uneertifed candidates

sneoIal NIeetlng of Council.

A special meeting Of the Borough Council
will be held this evening for the purpose Of
considering the exonention lists. No other
business will be considered at this meeting.
The status of the Water Commissionership is
the same as last reported. The Water Com
mittee has held but one meeting since the
adjournment Of Council, and its efforts in
filling the vacancy were as fruitless as that of
the Borough Council. The committee has
received one application for the position
outside Of those previously named, in the
person of John II. Reese. 1t is likely a
number of dark horses will appear before
the next regular meeting Of Colneil.

BALTIMORE April 9.-There is now no
reasonable doubt chat it is the purpose of
those members of the racing fraternity
who are not in accord with the turf con
gress to make Maryland the scene of their
future operations. Following close upon
the recent announcement that they had
secured tracks at Elkton and Arlington,
and that they would build another at
Barksdale, near Elkton, comes the further
news that they have also leased Herring
Run and Back River tracks, and that they
mean in the very near future to erect
others at Laurel, Md, and in Anne Arun-
del county, near Brooklyn. Under exist
ing law racing can be carried on for seven
months in the year without hindrance.

PARDoNED BY THE PRESIDENT
Prison Doors Closed Against a Man Who
Wanted TO "Do Time"

Wanted TO "Do Time"
WASHINGTON, April ga peculiar case
whore the president was obliged TO como
TO the relief Of a man who tried and for q
time in vain, TO 60 into Sail to serve his
sentence, came to light in the routine pre-
sentation OF pardon cases yesterday. J.
Reuben Phillips was the man, and for
working in a distllery without any
sign he was arrested by revenue agents
and sentenced by the court in South Caro-
lima to three months in jail That was
at the September term of court last year,
and for some reason probably to permit
the man TO harvest his little crops, the
judge in his sentence provided that the
term of imprisonment should not begin
until Jan. l Of this year The rest of
the story is told in the presidents in
dorsement upon the case, which is as
follows:
Granted. This prisoner was sentenced
TO three months imprisonment, to begin
Jan. l, 1895. On that day he reported at
the jail for the purpose of entering upon
his term, and was refused admittance be-
cause his commitment papers had not ar
rived. For this reason he did not begin
his term until Feb. 10, 1896. If he had been
admitted on the day his sentence required
his term would have expired before tho
present time. In view of this fact and the
pitiable condition of his family, and upon
the accommodation of the judge and dis
trict attorney, this pardon is granted"
