cut through his leg like a bullet, sc

OBJECTIONS ARE DISMISSED.
Quinn Could Not Prove Conclusively
That Nee Is Not a Citizen

Judge r. w. Archibald yesterday dis
missed the objections to the nomina-
ton papers of John Nee for the office
of supervisor Of LackaWanna township.
L. j. Quinn was the Objector.
ON the part of Mr.. Quinn it was
shown that when Nee testified i'm June
last in the Langstaff- Kelly contest he
was not n regularly naturali2ed citizen
of this county. His papers were issued
IN 1878 by the Bentley court, the first
that sat in this county. The acts Of
that tribunal were afterwards decided
to be invalid and Nees papers there
fore do not convey to him the privileges
they purpOrt to.
Nee was not present at yesterdays
hearings and ii was reported that
numerous but unsuccessful attempts
had been made to subpoena him. There
was nothing to show that Nee miaht
not have been naturalized since he tcs-
titled in the election contest on June 3,
and as the objections were based on
the fact that Nee is not citizen, they
We're dismissed
Judge Archibald said if ii is a fact
that Nee is not naturalzed, the mat
ter can come up in the event of his
election in the form of quo warranto
proceedings to prevent him from hold
ing the Office

There is real and serious famine
existing right in our midst. How long
it will last, or what it's effects upon

FIRST BANKRUPTCY CASE.
Was Submitted Yesterday to the
United States Court.

The first bankruptcy case to be sub
mitted to the Unit I'd States court from
this district was forwarded, yesterday.
by Referee A. l.. Van Wormer to Clerk
William T. Lindsay at Pittsburg.
1t is the case of Madison f. Larkin,
formerly Of Cleveland, Ohio, now a
resident of this city. He filed a petit
ton in voluntary bankruptcy Jan. 1.
His schedule of liabilities and assets
showed an Indebtedness of $1,000 with
no property to meet it. y meeting Of
creditors was called for Feb. 6, but
none of them appeared or filed any OBJ
jections to the petition. This being the
case the referees only duty was to for.
ward the reports of the case to the
clerk of the United States court.
Mr.. Larkin's creditors are all banks
in Cincinnati. He was in the lumber
business in Cleveland and endorsed a
large quantity of his companys paper.
The company failed and he was made
insovent. The indebtedness from
which he is now endeaVoring tC free
himself is what was left remaining
over and above the amount that the
sale of his property liquidated.
The fact that none of his creditors
offered any objection to his petition
speaks well for him.
