PREPARING REQUEST.
Attorneys for the Contestant and Re-
spondent in Langstaff-Kelly Elec-
ton Contest at Work on Lists.

The attorneys in the Langstaff- Kelly
election contest are laboring on the
briefs containing their requests for
findings on the part of the commits
SiOners. In other words, the attorneys
for Mr.. Bangstaff and Mr.. Kelly are
preparing a list of names of persons
they believe to have voted illegally for
the office of county treasurer in No
vember 1897, and these lists are filed
with court for the commissioners and
are in effect notice to them that these
votes are questioned.
The commissioners thereupon from
their records examine the testimony of
the person whose right to vote is ques-
toned and report to court whether or
not in their opinion the vote ought to
be cast out
Court has given the attorneys until
aJnuary 20 to prepare their requests.
At the time the order was made the
attorneys on both sides said it would
not be possible for them to complete
the work by that time. If requests
are not presented and the commission
ers have to proceed themselves to find
the illegal votes it will take at least
six months for them to prepare their
report and it may take considerably
longer.
The outlook for the final settlement
of the contest before next fall is not
very bright.

There was a meeting of the trus-
tees of the Scranton City Guard as
sociation in the Office of Colonel L. A.
Watres yesterday morning which was
presided over by Colonel II. NJ. Boies,
the president of the board of trustees.
At this meeting the necessity for a
new armory was discussed at some
length and the trustees were agreed
that it is essential for the welfare
of the local regiment of the National
Guard that a suitable building be
erected at the earliest possible mo-
ment. For a long time those inter-
ested in the project of erecting a new
armory have been hard at work and
they are hopeful that success will
crown their efforts although they can
not as yet say definitely that it will.
There is a strong probability that the
new armory will not be erected on the
site of the present building. The land
there is so valuable that it would be
almost an impossiblity to erect and
maintain a suitable armory building
at that point without having stores in
it. Many of those interested in the
proposed armory are opposed to hav-
ing stores in the proposed building.
They say the entire building ought to
be devoted to the purposes for which
it is erected.
BY selling the present site and se-
curing land on Adams or Jefferson
avenues, near Myrtle street, which
would be as well suited for armory
purposes. it is thought that a nucleus
of $4,000 or $4,000 for the fund for
the erection and maintenance of the
new armory could be secured.
