.SQUABB[E OVER SALARIES.
The COntrOlle~ and County Commissioners
Have Locked Horns Again.
BOTH WITHHOLD SIGNATURES
Meanwhile the Deputy Controller and
Court House and Prison Employees Are
Obliged to Hang Up" the Butcher,
Baker and Candlestick Maker.
Special to EvENING HERALD.

PoTTsvrLE, Feb. 3.-The harmonious
relations which have been existing between
County Controller Severn and the County
Commissioners since last September, when
the former took office under appointment by
Governor Hastings, are badly uptured and
there is no telling where the war now on will
end.
At present the game is q draw and all con
cerned on both sides are minus their salaries
pending solution of the points raised by
some legal tribunal. The hitch arose over
refusals to countersign warrants for salaries.
When Controller Severn asked the Commits
sioners to draw an order for $3.50 for the
January salary of Deputy Controller Reese
they declined to do so on the ground that
Mr.. Reese could not be recognized under the
agreement made between the Commissioners
and Controller, whereby the latter's official
position was recognized.
On Saturday afternoon the Commissioners
clerks presented their warrants to the Con-
troller for their January salaries, and he re-
fused to approve or countersign them. The
Deputy County Treasurer has refused to pay
any Of the employees until the dispute is
settled, meanwhile all the employees in the
court house and Jail under appointment Of
the County Commissioners are minus their
salaries. The Commissioners claim that when
they recognized Controller Severn in his
official capacity they did 50 with the
understanding that he was to make
no appointment of a deputy or other
subordinates until after the final disposition
Of the test case pending on the Luzerne
county Controlership. The Commissioners
have summoned County Solicitor Ulrich and
expect to have Il consultation with him this
afternoon.
Controller Severn, through his counsel, S.
Burd Edwards, Esq, this morning asked the
court fora mandamus requiring the County
Commissioners to pay the salary of the
Deputy Controller, but it will take at least
thirty days before any result can be at
tanned under the proceedings.

MARENGo, y. y, Feb. 3-Physicans
and the people in general Of this vicinity
have been giving much attention to a
strange ailliction OF Miss Hattie Benedict,
the l9-year-U old daughter of Elisha Bene-
dict, well known farmer. Miss Bone
dict four months ago fell asleep, or rather
lapsed into a cataleptic trance and did not
awake for five weeks, except at long inter
walls, when she was conscious for only a
Few minutes at time. Once during this
period when she awoke her mother hurried

AT the end of five weeks she awoke with

her faculties were in no way impaired and
her general health appeared good except.
ing the symptoms stated.
Five weeks ago she fell into another
trance, which still continues. Her vital
functions appear to be reduced to the
lowest point, digestion being at stand
still Her muscles are rigid, but her heart
beats and she breathes regular During
the present trance her heart has shifted
three times by muscular contraction to the
right side but this does not appear to have
affected its functions 1t is thought that
she Is hazily conscious of her surroundings
during these frances, because when she
awoke from the former she had some
vague recollections of what had happened
by her bedside. 1t is believed by her physi-
clans that these attacks are due to scarli-
tlnal poisoning during her infancy.

The Massachusetts Republican State
convention, held in Boston Friday,
struck another blow at free silver
coinage. 1t protested against the fiat
money craze, and endorsed the gold
standard, in the following emphatic
terms:
We regard the silver agitation as burt.
full to business and destructive of con
tidence, and, as has recently been shown.
hostile to all tariff legislation designed
to give protection to our Industries and
revenue to our treasury.
We are entirely opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver and to
any change in the existing gold stand
ard, except by international agreement.
Each dollar must be kept as good as
every other dollar. The credit of the
United States must be maintained at
the highest point, 80 that it cannot be
questioned anywhere, either at home
or abroad. Every promise must be
rigidly kept and every obligation re-.
deemahle in coin must be paid in gold
There is no mistaking the sentiment
contained in the above declarations
Evan tho Interpolation of the tariff ref
erence is of more than the usual signi,
iicance 1t is suggestive of bold do
fiauce to the Republican silver Senators
who havo asserted that there shall be
no tariff legislation by this Congress,
unless coupled with legislation for tho
free and unlimited coinage of silver
Tho Massachusetts Republicans have
done well, oven if they did conclude
by pledging their support for the Presi-
dental nomination to Gar Reed.
