went before Squire Kuebler yesterday,
when the charge was read to him. Hq
pleaded not guilty, j. Tillard, who said
Ee was detective, described at length al
legged interviews he had with Mr.. Van
Valkenburgh, saying he had conspired
with and induced Van Valkenburg to give
him money to bride representatives In
various parts Of tho state, notably in Lu-
zerne, showing u Photographic receipt
from DR. Mackey, Of Luzetne county, for
sl,250, and pledging himself to vote for
Wanamaker, aud acknowledging that he.
"Tillard, had kept SO out of the original
sum of Fl 300, which he said had been given
him by Van Valkenburg to give to DIR.
Mackey Tillard admitted that he was in
the employ of Wanamaker's opponents.
The trial terminated abruptly when the
defendant waived a further hearing and
entered bail, This was done because Of
the admission OF Detective Tillard' testi-
mony regardless of tSe objections Of the
defense Shortly after leaving the office
another warrant was served upon Mr..
Van Valkenburg, charging him with con-
spiracy to bride DIR. N J. Mackey, OF
Lackawanna. Bail in the same sum was
entered.
After the withdrawal Of the defendant
and his counsel the taking Of testimony
was proceeded with in their absence. Til.
lard sworo that he had received $500 in five
notes of 500 each to pay to Representative
Weiss. He said the money was given to
him by Van Valkenburg. He subsequently,
refused five other 500 notes from Scran-
ton, and returned them to Van Valken-
burg, who afterwards acknowledged their
receipt
A dispatch from Harrisburg says that
Representative Weiss emphatically denies
all knowledge of the case.

Already the question Is being passed
around as to who will have the distributing
of the office and patronage in New Castle
county under the grace of Governor-elect
Tunnel. Some suggested that Pat Neary,
John r. Dlckey and Peter ]. Ford would

any rate Peter ]. Ford fell into line and
made several speeches endorsing Tunnel
and advising the Democrats to vote for
the whole Democrat ticket.
IT will remain to be seen in short time
who has the distributing Of the state pa
tronage. We rather suspect the governor
will be an active participant in handing
around the Offices.
Mayor Jeiferls has not yet made known
who his preference will be for street and
