THE JUSTICES CASES.
Considerable Speculation as to the New
Omcials.

Copies Of the judgments of custer granted
by Judge Bechtel at Pottsvile yesterday
were served upon Justices NJ. J. Lawlor and
j. J. Cardin last night. Justice Lawlor left

ing Justice Cardin stated to-day that he
and Justice Lawlor would follow the require
ments of the law and act in their official
capacities until the appointment Of their
Successors, so as not to leave the borough
without Justices in the meantime.
There is considerable speculation as to who
will be the new Justices Many maintain
that the Attorney General will decide that
those elected last February VIII receive the
commission, but last night there developed a
strong belief that the election would not be
upheld and that the Governor will make ap-
pointmeuts until next Spring Should this
course be taken it is said to be quite certain
that the appoinbees will be either T. T. Will
Jams and @. w. Dengler or 7. I. Williams
