An Interesting Event.

20 South Main street.

A very interesting addition to the ordinary
services at the All Saints Episcopal church
yesterday morning, of which Rev. G. w.
Van Fossen is the pastor, was the performing
of the holy rights of baptism on the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. j. Griffith, of South

as William Staveley Griffith. In honor of
this event social gathering was rendered by

were the following persons who attended

STILL IN THE BUSINESS.
The Old Justices of the Peace Continue
i'm Harness.

Justices NJ. J. Lawlor and John j. Cardn,
who claim election as Justices of the Borough.
have not yet instituted proceedings to oust
the other Justices but are making arrange
mcnts to take the step. Meanwhile. the old
Justices continue business at the old stand
and, it may be incidentally remarked, that
anything they may do until such time as the
court may enter Judgment of custer against
them will be perfectly legal They appear
confident, howeveT that they will not be
ousted
I At Pottsville this morning answers were
/ filed to rule for a mandamus to require the
/ Judges of Election who have failed to do so
to make official returns of the votes cast at
the spring election for Lawlora and Cardn as
Justices of the Peace. The answer Of the
Fourth ward Judge of this town sets forth,
among other things, that he knows nothing
of what the Judge of Election in the First
ward has done or failed to do; that the
offices are entirely distinct and, therefore,
an error has been made in joining the two
Judges as defendants in one suit. 1t is also
contended that there was a majority and
minority Inspector at the Fourth ward poll
and they concurred in whatever return
was made by the Judge of Election
of that ward. 1t is also contended that the
Judge Of Election of that ward had no in
formation or knowledge as to the existence
Of the alleged Office of Justice of the Peace
of the Borough and there were no Y marks
opposite the name of any candidate for such
Office on any of the ballots, but he believes
that pastors bearing the title of the office and
the names of the claimants were pasted pro-
miscuously on some of the ballots.
The answer of the First ward Judge was
practically the same. The Second and Fifth
ward Judges are not interested in the pro-
ceedings, as they made their returns, and the
Third ward Judge claims he made return to
the Prothonotary for all votes cast at his
poll.

The Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury has submitted their report
to the court, and among other things it con
tains We notice with regret that the Direc-
tors of the Poor propose publishing quarterly
the names of the recipients of outdoor
relief. If the object is to guard against
being imposed upon by undeservng parties
we deem it unnecessary and will only add
useless expense to the county, as the law has
provided sufficient safeguard, if the Directors
will exercise ordinary diligence in the per-
formance of their duty. The Directors are
allowed expenses to visit their district
periodically and can personally investigate
any cases they have reason to suspect, and
obtain information in general way as to the
worthiness of all cases in their respective
districts. We would suggest that in the
event of fraud being discovered, that all
parties concerned therein be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law We regard the
publication of the names of the unfortunate
poor as unchristianlike and as simply adver-
tising and parading their poverty, thus
further adding to their humiliation and
atliictiOn. Hence, we most respectfully
recommend that the Directors reconsider the
proposed publication. The Justices of the
Peace are admonished to exercise good
Judgment in the disposition of many cases
brought before them of a trivial nature and
endeavor to effect settlements and thereby
save the county costs. The grand jury
regretted that it was not in their province to
take action directly in the matter as many
of the cases returned are of such an exceed
| ingly trivial character that one would, had
we the power, visit all the costs upon the
justices returning them to court
