THEY NEEDED THE VOTE.
SO the Election officers Went Out
and Secured 1t.

Up in Fell township an improvement
TO the existing laws was put In opera
ti1n last spring that is worthy of con-
sideration when the legislature next
axes up the question of ballot reform.
On the day the February election
was held, one George Washington
smith. qualified voter of the Fourth
district Of Fell township, was too i'll to
go to the polls. The election board of
that district considered it extremely
unncighborly to deprive George w. of
his vote because he was unable to cast
it, and, anyway, they needed 1t. So
they sent n committee armed with an
official ballot to the residence OF the
disabled man, had him prepare it, and
then went back to the voting booth and
deposited the ballot as that of George
Washington Smith.
All of this was disclosed at a hear
ing in the Fell township case, Tues
day, during the examination of James
j. Ward, judge of election of the Fourth
district hereinbefore mentioned
The contestants in the Fell township
election contest now in progress are
mean enough to question the legality
of the vote Of George Washington
Smith and to intimate that the election
officers of Fell were guilty of an illegal
act,

Smith Equity Case.

The hearing in the equity suit OF MIS-
Margaret A. Smith against the Scran-
ton Gas and Water company took place
yesterday before Judge Gunster. suit
was brought to prevent the company
from shutting the water off from prop
critics owned by Mrs. Smith. She was
represented by her husband, Attorney
Cornelius Smith, and Major Everett
Warren appeared for the company.
The latter alleges that over $4,000 is
owed in water rents and for that reason
the water was about to be shut off
when the injunction was obtained. Mr.
Smith asserted that his wife was never
served with bill of her Indebtedness
and even if she was the water could
not be shut off. as such action would
injure the properties and affect the
health of the tenants. The company's
remedy. he held, was a suit to recover
the amount due as water rent.
