SUPERVISORS SWORN IN
Cusick Found a Way Of Surmoanting
the Obstacle.
COYNE ENTERED A PROTEST
Claimed That as Ferris Election as
Supervisor Was Contested lIo Had
No Right TO Act-Matter viii 30
Caiscd to Attention Of Court.

When the auditors of Lackawanna
township assembled yesterday after
noon to organize for the present year
and to swear i'm two new supervisors
Patrick Coyne was present to insist
against the qualifica tion of William II.
Fern, pending the contest which has
been Instituted in court, and notice or
which was served upon the auditors
by Constable Michael Thornton.
Mr.. coyne was one of the outgoing
supervisors and he was defeated for re-
election by Mr.. Fern. by six votes, but
as stated, the election has been con-
tested. Attorneys &. c. Donovan and
Nj. j. Donahoe. who represent MIR.
Coyne. hold that while contest Is
pending. the incumbent holds over. ex-
cept in Offices commissioned by the gov
ernor.
The board of auditors as it is now
made up consists of Michael Hogan,
Eugene Driscoll and Michael Cusick.
NJ. j. Eagan is township clerk. Cusick
and Driscoll were present at 3 o'clock.
the time fixed for the meeting, but Ho-
gan was absent. The two supervisors
elect, James Ward and Mr.. Fern, were
present, the latter being represented
by Attorney Charles L. Oliver, of this
city.
NEW MEMBER OF THE BOARD.
Mr.. Driscoll is a new member of the
board, succeeding Z. j. Foley, of Green
wood, and he was in favor of waiting
until Hogan put in an appearance.
CuSick wanted to go on, there being
majority of the board present. but Mr..
Eagan. the clerk advised a continuance
until Hogan came at o'clock in the
evening. He had sent word that he
could not be around before then.
Attorney Oliver was given the floor
and argued that Mr.. Fern should be
sworn in. that he had his certificate of
election and his bonds and was right
fully entitled to the seat. Cusick took
the law into his own hands and admin
istered the oath to Ward and Fern, de-
spite the protest of MeSsrs DriScoll and
Eagan. He went on and received the
bonds. Messrs. Driscoll and Egan re-
fused to take any hand in the proceed
ing at all. Mr. IIgan refused to take
any minutes and thus ended the mat
ter.
WILL APPLY TO COURT.
Mr.. Coyne's attorneys will now apply
to the court to have the matter righted
ana have Cusick'S action revoked
Hogan came around after supper, but
the supervisors were gone home then.
The bonds presented by Mr.. Ward
were signed by James Butler and VI. w.
LOTUS, of MoOsic; Mr.. Ferns suretes
were John Fern. his father John Glynn
and Margaret Eggart. Both are in the
sum Of $1,000. Patrick FitZhenry, of
Minooka, was sworn in as treasurer. lie

How to Serve Duck. and puek,Ines

Ducklings are sent to market as sool
as 1t is possible to get them large enough
for a dish, but they are not supposed I'd
be really worth the eating until the flrsI
crop of peas is ready to be served Will
them. Young ducks have yellow feed
which are soft and pliable, and theif
breasts should be plump and firm, witt
a clear, looking skin. No duel
over twelve months old is fl for roasting
and for this reason ducklings are more
often served in this way than any 9TH
er. though there are numerous recipes
for treating them in q somewhat more
elaborate fashion.
Young ducks should be carved after
the manner of a fowl; old ones more as
a goose is carved. If required plainly
roast, twenty-five minutes will gener-
ally be long enough for the cooking
They should be served with good gravy
and be garnished with watercress. On
ion stufiing can be inserted, If liked, anG
apple sauce served as an accompanj-
ment. Roasted flllets of duckling with
stewed endive make a very good dish
and can be made as follows: Roast two
ducklings, and when done cut off theii
flllets, and after trimming them arrange
them in a circle on a hot dish. While
the birds are roasting prepare the en-
dive by washing it well and then boil.
ing it in salted water till tender. Drair
1t and chop it up finely, melt four ounces
of butter in stewpan, mix in one anC
a half ounces of flour till smooth no,
allowing it to brown. then put in the
endive, add little white glaze, half g
pint of white sauce, one teaspoonfu
each of sugar and salt, and pepper Il
taste. Stir all these ingredients ovei
the fire till hot. then add two tablespoon
fuls of cream and turn the mixture into
the center of the dish, with the fillets OF
duckling round.-Philadelph Public

United states that are exported to Eui

that has so far baffied the preservativd

ever, is only partly effective They are

oring extract, as the meat contained
In the shells Is so trifling and of such
light consistency that little or none red
mains after cooking. The resultant iii
quid after boiling is added to cream
or milk for the connection of puree OF
surprising delicacy The flavor of thj
coquina combines that of the scallopl
soft clam and oyster. 1t Is a curious|
paradox that the largest and the smalll
est of the CLAIMS found on the Atlantid
coast possess an identical taste. This
great quahog, or sea clans, washed
upon our northern sand beaches i'll
storms are in magnificent proportions
of the same general shape as coquinai
They also make delightful puree OF
the same flavor as that impaired by thd
minute Florida bivalve. Moreover, they
are available for other culinary conf
coctions to very superior degree. Whild
coquina are never sold in northern mari
kets, the great quahog is occasionally $
obtainable. AS a rule 1t is delicacyI

the clans so soon as cast upon the shord
bury themselves with surprising celer

of transporting coquina from Florida I'd
