ONE PUPIL SUES.
Victim of the Green Ridge Epidemic
Asks $25, 900 Damages from the
School District, Contractor
and Workman.

Bessie NJ. Westcott. pupil of No. 2S
school, who is one of the victims of the
iiphtheria epidemic, brought suit yes
terday through her father. George l..
Westcott, to recover $4,000 damages
from the Scranton school district, Con-
tractor Conrad Schroeder and one of
his employees. Chales Heller.
1t is alleged that an improper open
ing was allowed in the sewer pipe:
that this connected with a ventilating
duct; that the foul gas from the sewer
was sent through the building, and
that the plaintiff, being compelled by
law to attend school, was forced 10
breath the polluted air and thereby
was made i'll.
The school district, it is claimed,
should have exercised such supervision
as would have prevented such a thing
from occurring. The contractor and his
workman, who We're responsible for
the opening in the sewer are held to
be culpable for improper and negligent
workmanship.

A VERY LIVELY HEARING,
Election Contest Developed Some In
teresting scenes--Attorney r.
II. Holgate Arrested for As
sault--Edward Jurkovitz
Is the Prosecutor.

Although only half a dozen witnesses
were examined, yesterdays election
contest hearing was the hottest of the
sessions thus far held. AS a result one
of the attorneys is under arrest for
assault and battery, one OF the wit
nesses has a sore face and another
witness is cited to appear before court
today to show cause why he should
not be adjudged guilty of contempt.
This second mentioned witness is
School Controller John Gibbons, of the
Twentieth ward.
lie was asked on the stand II he re-
ceived, paid out or handled any money
in the treasurership election. He an
swered no to each question.
He was then asked If the same ques-
tions applied to the last election gem
orally.
Hon. NJ. +. Mcdonald. attorney for
the respondent contended that the
treasurership election alone was con-
cerned in the present hearing, and that
the question was, therefore. irrelevant
and immaterial The witness thought
likewise, and when Commissioner Lew
is admitted the question Mr.. Gibbons
refused to answer. Mr.. Holgate in
sisted on an answer but Mr.. Gibbons
maintained that he did not have to
answer the question, as he was sub
poenaed solely to be examined in the
matter of the election of treasurer and
anything foreign to that was not with
i'll the province of the contestant or
respondent to inquire into. Commits
siprer Lewis directed that the matter
he certified to court. 1t will likely be
argued today.
The other aforementioned results OF
! The session grew out of the eXamina-
| ton of Edward Jurkovitz. Mr.. Hol-
| gate nut him on the stand and asked
| him to swear to certain information
concerning Illegal voters which. it was
alleged he had voluntarily given Mr.
| Holgate and Mr.. Langstaff some time
| ago. He denied ever having given
! such information. Mr.. Holgate ther
| took the stand himself and swore that
Jurkovitz had told him that this mar
and that man--enumerating about a
| dozen-had received money, voted un.
der age, voted without being natural.
| ized or registered or voted without
| paying taxes and so on.
Later the witness and attorney met
| in the corridor, and 1t is said Jurkovit7
called the attorney lair. 1t is further
said the attorney resented the lie witt
a blow that sent the witness sprawing
At all events Mr.. Jurkovitz had Mr.
| Holgate arrested for assault and bat
tery before Alderman Millar. He
waived hearing and was held in hi:
own recognizance for his appearance
at court

Commenting on the killing Justice
Green Says:
There was no sudden quarrel. no
arguing dispute. no heat of contest, no
fear of personal violence. no presence
OF weapons on the victim, he was
man, she was a woman, sitting quietly
by his eide, no circumstance, not one,
which in the least possible degree nit
igated or tended to mitigate, the afro
city. the cruelty, the diabolical wick
edness of the murderous act. His
story OF the accidental killing was too
silly to delude a child; it only added
the crime of perjury to that OF murder.
III there was no presentation by the
trial Judge of the facts favorable 10
the prisoner, it was because there was
no such facts in the evidence. The
whole charge of the learned court was
calm. fair, reasonable and dignified
| and in entire accord with the testl-
mony."
NOT AN ASSIGNMENT.
The allegation that error was COM
mitted In locking the jury room dur
ing the last day of the trial was not
among the assignments of error. Judge
Archibald having refused to allow an
| exception on this score.
Attorneys l.. =. Wedeman and +. w.
ThRyer, counsel for Van Horn, have
petitioned Governor Hastings to delay
| the fixing of the day Of execution to
give them opportunity to take an ap-
| peal to the Federal supreme court
They will proceed at once to apply to
Justice Shiras, of this district, for a
writ of error and if it is granted will
| Immediately appeal to the highest tri-
bunal in the land. They Will go before
| the supreme court on the ground that
| Van Horns constitutional rights were
| impaired by reason of the jury being
| allowed to view the scene of the kill.

Van Horns neck, the board of pardons

| Van Horn has broken down complete

| low the law to take its course. He
| would rather he hung and have the
thing over with he says, than stand

CONDITIONS PRoP1T1oUs FOR
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN
WEST VIRGINIA.
The Clear Cut Views of Hon. Stewart
L. Walker on the Situation and Out
Innl.
[From the wheeling Register.l


[From the Wheeling Register.l
While in the city last week Hon.
Stewart L. Walker, of Martinsburg,
was asked by representative of
the Register for his views upon the
political conditions and prospects
for Democratic success in West
Virginia, and in reply he said:
"The conditions are exceptionally
favorable, and if the Democracy
will but enter the fight with the
energy which is demanded, and
which should obtain without troub
lie, there will be no doubt of the re-
suit. We can and will gain a great
victory this fall-but half hearted
campaigning and persistence in a
policy of delay on the part of the
State Committee will not bring
about the best results. The Demo.
cratic State Committee should have
met long ago, as there are weighty
matters which demand attention.
1t should meet at once, plan of
campaign should be formulated, and
VIC SuOul4 G4Cu W b4G flCbOIH
1 am convinced awaits us. To daily
with the situation will be to invite
inevitable defeat-to act is to
achieve success. The time is oppor-
tune for the Democracy, and we
were never so well equipped with
with effective ammunition for an
aggressive fight. The Republican
State administration has piled
blunder upon blunder, until the
structure is ready to topple to its
fall. Governor Atkinson has been
heavy load for the Republican
party to carry, and there is disgust
and dissension everywhere. In
some sections of the State the party
is almost in open revolt, while gen
eral dissatisfaction and disappoint.
ment is to be noted everywhere.
The Register should at once urge
immediate and decisive action by
the State Committee of our party.
and that done, results will be
achieved which will be eminetly
satisfactory. AS to the Legislature,
L have no shadow of doubt but that
we can elect a very considerable
majority of the House of Delegates
possibly enough to command the
Legislature on joint ballot At
least we can block Republican legis,
lation and tie the hands of that
party and render further mischiev-
GUS legislation impossible.
AS for the Second Congressional
district. I firmly believe proper
Democratic nomination will result
in the defeat of Mr.. Dayton, who
will be the cauidate of his party
again. There are very favorable
report from the other Congressional
districts as we'll. In my end Of the
State the party is prepared to take
an aggressive position, but we seek
and must have action at the hands
of the State Committee, particularly
in the matter of the unconstitution
al action of the last Legislature in
giving Morgan county delegated in
direct defiance of the Constitution
of the State, which explicitly says
that the State shall not be redI
stricted for Legislative purposes
save once in ten years, after the
taking of the census. Steps must
