TOWNSHIP
LITIGATIONS
0'Nelll Libel suit Goes over Until Next
Tuesday.
CAUSE OF THE POSTPONEMENT !
Many Rumors Afoat as to overtures For a
Settlement Of All the Litigations But
They Are Contradictory Dis
Chalmers Made by Both
Sides.
CAUSE OF THE POOTPONEMgNT |


D
PoTTsvILLE, Sept 1s-Immediateiy after
the postponement of the ONeill libel suit
rumors ioated about that the case would
probably never be heard Of again in court
except by way Of settlement. Investigation
by the HERALD correspondent showed pretty
couclusively that while there were grounds
for the rumors, the chances Of suck n result
materializng were not very bright
| gentleman who is interested on the
School Directors side Of the case said he
believed that on Tuesday morning next,
another postponement would be asked by
Mr.. O'Neills counsel. His ground for this
belief was information which he stated he
had received from an authoritive source to
the effect that the prosecutors in the mis-
demeanor and perjury cases had made over
lures for a settlement; that they were
willing to enter mol pros. in the two suits
and pay the costs IL the libel suit would be
dropped.
The correspondent then saw another party
Identified with the cases and he stated that
one of the counsel for Mr.. O'Neill had in
timated this morning to one of the counsel
! for the School Boz I'd that the misdemeanor
case would be dropped.
Later on the correspondent cOnversed with
parties interested on the O'Neill and Dee
side of the cases and the above statements
were vigorously denied. It was claimed, ON
the other hand, that the overtures for settle
ment came from the other side, that it had
been proposed to drop all the suits and the
costs would be paid by the prosecutors in the
libel suit and defendants in the misdemeanor
and perjury suits.
None of the parties making these state
ments would allow their names to be used in
connection with them. But on one side it
was positively Stated that the libel suit could
not be settled because the School Directors
would have to be vindicated and on the other
side it was stated that the msdeamor and
perjury cases could not be settled. As one
gentleman put it, Some people think that
this fight Is being put up against O'Neil Rnd
Dee only but it will be found out that there
are interests involved of much greater inn
pOrtance than the personal interests of these
two gentlemen"
Taking all the rumors under consideration,
with their sources and the manner in which
they started it is fair to assume that a pro-
position or intimation of settlement came
from one side or the other since yesterdays
session, but there dces not appear to be
likelihood that settlement will be reached.
The chances for the trial proceeding on Tues
day are by far stronger than otherwise.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
A Second Attempt in Favor of It's Erection
Made last Evening.


Another meeting Of the Monument Asso-
citation was held in Refowich's hall last
evening. This is revival Of the project
which two years ago had the populace
worked up to a high pitch. The meeting was
announced for 1880 o'clock but it was almost
s o'clock when it was called to order by

lures incurred by the business mems picnic
of S32559. The entire amount received by
the committee was SS27.04, which leaves q
balance of $1.45.
Mr.. Holman stated that he had received
and paid a bill of $50 for park rental Of
which no record was made He was one Of
the committee to secure the park. This bill
is in the hands of the secretary. Through
some misunderstanding Mr.. Bierstein stated
that the exact amount taken in at the various
stands could not be ascertained.
Mr.. Morgan said the sum of 5000 or more
was still in the hands of John A. Reilly.
Considerable of the money derived from
the sale Of tickets is still outstanding and

PoTTsvILLE, Sept. 1s.-The first days
session of the libel suit of the Common
wealth, through p j. Ferguson ct. al, of
Lost Greek, against J. Jerome O'Neill closed
last evening without any eventful incidents
| other than a tilt between Judge Savidge and
w. A. Marr, Esq one of the counsel for the
| Commonwealth 1t was brief, but while it
lasted it sizzled and it looked at one stage as
if the court might take an advanced step
against the lawyer from Ashland There
were two tits. The last created tho most
smoke. On the first occasion Mr.. Wadlinger
was about to press an objection to one of the
questions applied to School Director Fergu-
son by Mr.. Whalen when Judge Savidge said
there was no use pressing the matter, as he
had already ruled on the question and his
decision would stand, no matter what ar
gument was made. Mr.. Wadlinger took
his seat, Temarking that when he
arose to speak he generally did it with the
object of making point point, and not for
the mere purpose of talking Mr.. Marr left
his seat and said, as he walked to the main
exist of the court room, that he didn't see any
use of raising any objections. Judge Sayidge
retOrted that if counsel saw no use of raising
objections they should not waste time in
doing so. Mr. Marr fired back something
which only the court seemed to catch. Judge
Savidges face became flushed and as Mr.
Marr's form disappeared from the court roOm
the Judge said he would like to know if the
remark was directed at him. But the matter
ended there. His Honor cooled down and
Mr.. Mari returned to the court room and re-
sumed his seat without any further reference
being made to the affair. Later, however, a
similar objection was raised and
here was similar tilt, when
Judge Savidge, with flushed face and a deter
mined look towards Mr.. MARI said "There
is no lawyer anywhere, no matter how high
he may be, who dare come into court and
make remark such as There is no use OBJ
jecting, because it is an insult to the court"
Mr.. Mari replied with emphasis that as coun-
sci he could not be expected to sit idly by and
not open his mouth. Whenever he CON
sidered improper evidence was being intro
duced he deemed it his duty to object Judge
Savidge said he desired it understood that he
was honest in his rulings and if he made
mistakes he could not help it. Mr.. Mari
said he did not question the honesty of the
rulings and his remarks were only intended
as answer to what the court had stated. This
ended the exchange.
Mr.. Whalen kept School Director Ferguson

WHITNEY's WHIMS
A Big Preserve for Rocky Mountain
Game

NEW YORK. August 2O.-A dispatch
to the World from Lenox. Mass, says:
William c. Whitney has just COM
pleted extensive purchases of land ad-
joining his large estate on October
mountain, about six miles from Lenox.
This purchase aggregates 1000 acres, so
that he now owns about 1900 acres in
all. He is still negotiating for a dozen
or more farms adjoining his great prop
erty. The land just bought includes all
the land Of the Richmond Iron Com
pany. He has also bought about 500
acres Of William p. Perry, which af-
fords a grand opportunity for a private
driveway from there to his country
house on the top of the mountain, dis
tance of four miles.
There are two or three farms ada
to the Perry place which he is trying to
purchase and probably will buy in a
short time. Mr.. Whitney objects to
having the primeval forest cut off the
hillside and will include it in his game
preserves as it furnishes the animals a
home similar to that they have had in
the Rocky Mountain region.
1t is wild, uncultivated country, COW
cred with forest or rocky, mountainous
ridges, which has never been profitable
for farming land. 1t is we'll adapted
to the purpose for which Mr.. Whitney
has evidently purchased it, namely, for
the preservation of game from the
Rocky mountains. Buffalo, elk and deer
seem to flourish here.

Associated Press Special Wire.

MARSHALLTOWN. Iowa, August 20.
"A large meeting in this city, which
marked the opening of the Democratic
campaign in Iowa, was addressed by ex-
Governor Horace Boies. The ex-Gov-
ernor said, in part:
ITO no man living do I concede a
stronger desire to see this country re-
turn to the equal, unlimited use Of both
gold and silver in its financial system
than I possess. To my mind the best
hope of this nation depends upon the
accomplishment of that end. 1 firmly
believe the use Of gold alone as re-
demption money by the people of the
United States will divide them as the
people of England are divided, the very
rich and the very poor, and I do not
believe a republic can live under such
a condition of society.
Under circumstances as they now ex-
list, with silver demonitized by the great
commercial countries of the globe; with
the frightful chasm that separates the
commercial values of metals constantly
widening, and in the light of our own
recent national election 1 cannot bring
my own mind to believe that the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
with gold is within the reach Of its
friends, nor can help the fear that it
would not be desirable even if attain
able.
II believe from what now is a matter
of notoriety everywhere that the fear of
this is so deeply grounded in the public
mind that unyielding adherence to that
one ratio by those who believe them
selves the real friends of silver will
permanently destroy the cause they
would promote and fasten upon the peo-
pie of this nation perpetual gold stand
ard. calamity greater in my judgment
than war or pestilence or famine, and
cannot consent to share any part of the
responsibility of such catastrophe.

circumstances has seemed so feasible

rightful place a5 redemption money as
