THE DEFENSE CLOSE.
The Trial of the County Commissioners is
Nearing the End.


Pottsville, Feb. This is the twenty. first
day of the trial of the County Commissioners.
The defense has closed its case, and it will
probably be in the hands Of the jury to-
morrow. Judge Pershing was again on the
stand, called by the commonwealth to con-
tradict Mr.. Ulrich with reference to his tie ,ti-
mOny on the subject of advertising the
almshOuse contracts. judy Pershing denied
that he ever advised Mr.. Jlrich that adyer-
Using these contracts was unnecessary, and
said he was not consulted on that matter at
all. He said, in contradiction, that he had
but one interview with the commissioners
In answer to Mr.. MARI, he said II had
two interviews with the commissioners. l
never discussed the plans and specifications
for the proposed new buildings.
II think the power of the commissioners
was talked over with reference to the new
buildings. The lighting and heating was not
mentioned, that is relating to the new build
ings."
Tho Judge admitted that perhaps he had
one understanding, and the commissioner
another.
LOsCH TEsTIFIEs.
Hon. S. A. Losch was called to contradict
Mr.. Allen. He said Mr.. Ulrich drew up the
agreement for the settlement of the quo
warranto proceedings against Commissioner
Allen, and there was q verbal agreement
with Commissioners Allen and Martin for the
payment of salaries of the controller, his
deputy, attorney, &c. All these bills we're
tied up. With the permission of the court
Major Losch made a detailed statement OF
tho facts that led up to this situation of af-
fairs. The costs were divided and White
house advised him to see the Commissioner
about the payment of the costs and counsel
fees. They refused, but finally Allen and
Martin agreed that these bills would be
paid.
Mr.. Losch said that all the bids were tied
up during the contest between the Commits
sioners and the Controller The agreement
was that witness was to withdraw all other
suits. Martin and Allen first agreed to this
and Rontz approved of it later on. Mr.. III
rich paid witness 500 counsel fees. This
contract or agreement was carried out in good
faith with the exception of that portion re,
lating to the appointments. Witness could
not say what the various amounts were, but
thought they included bills of Mr.. Ulrich.
Severn, Walker, as deputy, Reese. PHILIP
Yedinsky, AS interpreter, and Mr.. White
house as attorney for Mr.. Severn. He dis
continued the suits.
George p. Walker, former deputy Con.
%troller, was sworn, and detailed tho particu.
lars in reference TO the settlement of theil
salaries. Martin and Allen were present
The information relating to the settlement
came through Whitshouse aud Losch. Tn,
witness identified Mr., Ulrich's bill.
Mr., Schalck this morning offered in evi
dence the famous agreement between Senate
Losch and Commissioners Allen and Martin
in which Senator Losch agrees to Withdraw
the quo warranto suit brought against Allel

THE JUDGE SUSPENDS SENTENCE.
The Trial of the Commissioners Nearing It's

teresting Political H~istOry-Ihe
Agreement Admitted in
Evidence.
THE JUDGE SUSPENDS SENTENCE.

Pottsville, Feby. 1.-The sentence imposed
upon Thomas J. Joyce, editor of the Black
Diamond, or rather the suspension Of sem
tsnce, presented its amusing features. Joyce
was convicted Of libeling John J. Coyle, but
he dare not commit such a grave sin again.
Judge Savidge gave the p%ungent paragrspher
to understand that he must not dip his pen in
vitrol in the future, thus causing sores that
arc hard to heal. His Honor suspended SEN
tencs, but could not refrain from giving
Joyce some wholesome advise, as fellows {:
You do not stop to consider how much your
writings hurt people whom you have used
unjustly; and if you thought at all it was
that such articles would sell your paper, and
would not hurt much. But they do hurt.
The court does not only refer to this case.
Others have smarted under your criticisms.
These people, however, show a friendly dis
position, and you should be careful in the
future. You must not make any more
attacks on Mr.. Coyle and must not abuse his
ability as = writer on social and political ques-
tions. The people you have attacked have
asked for a suspension of sentence on condi-
ton that you tone down your newspaper
criticism and keep out of these kline of rews
in the future or the court will take the case
Up again for sentence" Joyce promised to
be good in the future. He said From
now on my motto will be, BE angry, but sin
not" He will have to pay costs amounting
to nearly $500.

Not Impressed With Expert Road
Building.

Mr. Joseph j. Baldwin, Of Oakland
Mills. Howard county, Nd, writes as fol-
lows to the Ellicott City Democrat:
II did not know the general Govern
ment was running the county road bust
ness, but such seems to be the fact, for
one of those experts has made his appear
ance in Baltimore county. | wonder if
this is one of those big So, 900 fellows that
we were threatened with last winter? 1t
is said that this is a very clever fellow and
and is building half mile of road near
Fork. After he grades the road he puts
broken stone on where it is graded. They
expect 3, 900 people to inspect this great
and wonderful feat of engineering skill.
Among the crowd will be the Governor
and plenty of wheelers, but this Govern
ment road maker has built this piece of
road with stone.
Now | do not intend to criticise his
skill, but | thought everybody knew that
one good dirt road will out-wea a dozen
stone roads and cost less There is no
doubt but the part he has built would be
all right had he given it the proper pro-
lection, but if this long standing error in
road making has been overlooked it can be
remodeled yet by building good dirt road
alongside Of the stones to attract travel
from the stones nine or ten months in the
year This will extend the wearing life
of the stones four-fold.
at seems pity this greet engineering
feat had not been put to test on a public
thoroughfare instead of a byroad and the
cost may have been different had this road
been built away from stony batter, but take
it all around our neighbors have been lucky
in lodging the S., 600 man.
II am well acquainted with this piece
of road and the surrounding country and I
think [ know what | am talking about.
Every scheme is invented to get money out
of the people for all kinds of roads .

From the Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger.

A dispute between Shafter and Samp-
son, regarding the ships in Santiago har
Dor, brings into prominence the injustice
of our laws in discriminating between the
army and the navy. IF those vessels were
surrendered to Shafter they become at
once the property of the United States, but
the army receives no reward for their cap
ture. If they are prizes in the navy they
must be condemned by court, and a large
amount of money will be paid to the Of
ficers and seamen of the blockading squad
ron. There is no principle of justice or
equity on which this difference of treat
ment is based, and it should be eliminated,
together with many other points of dis
elimination in the laws 1t should be the
duty of Congress, next winter, to make a
radical revision of the naval and military
laws. and bring them to an agreement.
