IN FAVOR OF TIE Jusr1crs.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsvLLE, Feby. 8, 4 p. m.-Judge
Bechtel has just handed down a lengthy
opinion in the Borough Justices case. It
covers fourpages of legal cap, closely written,
an his Honor sustaius the objections raised
by the counsel for the several candidates in
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City, and their
names will appear upon the tickets to be
voted on the 10th inst.
The opinion concludes with the following
order And now, February 9th, A. D. 1897,
the court declines to make any order in the
premises, for the reason above given, but
overrules the motion to dismiss or strike of
the objections fled"
By this decision the names of T. 7.
Williams and W. II. Shoemaker, candidates
on the Citizens ticket, and j. J. Cardiu and
j. A. Toomey, Democratic candidates, will
appear on the tickets and be voted for in
Shenandoah. The Commissioners immedi-
ately instructed the printers to go ahead with
printing the tickets.

A DECISION
RENDERED.
Judge BeehteI To-day Decided the
Justices Case.
THE COURT WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Judge Bechtel, IN a Lengthy Decision, Re
fuses to Issue an order Striking of
the Borough Justices Prom the
Tickets in Shenandoah.
THE COURT WILL NOT INTERFERE.

%PorTsv11LE, Feb. o, 800 p. m.-The ques-
ton as to whether the nominations made
for Justices in the several boroughs Of this
county is still undecided and in the hands OF
Judge Beohtel. Tho delay is creating con
siderable unsasiness, especially in the
Office Of the County Commissioners. The
printing Of the ballots, or at least a great
part of the ballots for tho approaching cleo.
ton, is delayed pending the decision and the
County Commissioner express fears that they
may not be able to get the printing lone in
time. The decision will not only affect
Shenandoah, but also Mahanoy City, Ash
laud, Gibertou, fremont, M%inersville and
other horoughs In which nominations fo1
Justices have been made, and the ballots for
those towns cannot be printed until it is de-
cided whether the names Of candidates for
Justice are to be printed on them.
The County Commissioners became so
uneasy over the delay this afternoon it was
decided that, if Judge Beohtel failed to send
a decision to the court house by four O'Clock
this afternoon, Chief Clerk Horace Reber
would be delegated to visit his Honor's
home and try to get some intimation as
to what the decision will be-. Of course, this
viii be quite an unusual, as well as very
NNAANANo oANRa RAN ~ 10 IhoAAANu ny bhb uu=
usual and very pressing circumstances. Next
Tuesday will be election day and the Com
missionors viii find it big task to get the
ballots printed and distributed in time, even
should a decision be rendered to-day.
Judge Bechtel's delay in handing down a
decision is looked upon as favorable to the
nominated candidates. Most of the people
who were in court yesterday when the case
was argued felt confident that the courts
views strongly inclined towards sustaining
the objections filed against tho nomination
papers and looked for a decision before
night, but their opinions have since changed
and now they believe that Judge Bechtel
will sustain the points raised by the lawyers
for the nominees. Ono of the strongest Of
these is that the objections to the nomina-
ton papers because they were not filed in
time. was not served upon the candidates and
therefore cannot be considered by his Honor
at this tune.
The report circulated last night that Judge
Bochtel had decided that the Citizens party
nomiaation papers from Shenandoah had not
been filed in time and was holding the Demo-
cratic nomination papers under consideration
was based upon speculation which has not
been confirmed. Up to three o'clock this
afternoon no decision of any kind had been
rendered.

VIII the PLANES DO Abandoned ?

VIII Ane IAauts 10 Auhluule0g
The question Of whether the Reading
Company can transport its coal over the
'linlT' from New Boston Junction to Track
vile quicker and cheaper that by hauling it
over the Mahanoy plane, has been decided in
the affirmative, and it is now said to be a
positive fact that the plane will be abandoned
before many months have gone by. During
the recent suspension of the planes for re-
pairs the coal was hauled over the link
not without some difficulty, Of course, but it
must be remembered that they have but q
single track Of light 10 pound rails that pre-
vented the strain that a heavier track would
stand. 1t is pointed out that if the branch
were double tracked and heavier rails were
used the traffic could be handled easily. The
company now have 5his plan in view, and
the officers of the Reading and Pennsylvania
companies held a consultation at Fraekville
on Thursday last for the purpose of discussing
the plan of double tracking this short line,
and though it could not be learned what was
decided upon, it is the general impression
among the railroad men that it will
eventually be done.
