numbers were used instead of the put
ting down of the reason at length. The
voters were also classified by election
districts, and the age was not included,
as on the contestants requests. The
form was after this fashion:

The contestants requests are pre-
faced with an elaborate discussion of
the law bearing on voting, in which
are set forth some new readings OF
certain phases of the law, as told of in
Saturdays Tribune, the most import
ant of which is that a man must not
only be a citizen before he votes. but
must have exercised as citizen GER
tain of the prerequisites of citizenship
before he can become a voter as, for
instance, an alien must have been nat
uralized a month before he can vote.
Mr. Holgate is confident of being sus-
tanned in these contentious.
Four or five months from now, when
the examiners have filed their report,
the attorneys will be called upon to go
and argue with the judges in an effort
to convince them that they are right
and the examiners wrong. When they
have done all this, they will be nearly
through.

MET HIS DEATH CALMLY.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Sunbury, Pa, Jan. 8 Edward
Cressinger was hanged in the county
Jail today, for the murder Of Daisy
Smith. The drop fell at 1890 O'Clock.
Cressinger met his death calmly. On
the scaffold, he admitted the orims,
and asked for forgiveness. He then
wished good LUCK to all, after which
the moose and cap were adjusted.
cREssrNeER's CRIME.
Tho crime for which Cressinger was
hanged was committed August 10th,
1885, He, was at Boyles Run, Lower
Augusta township. hunting for rabbits,
While crossing a field, he met Daisy
Smith, the 16-years-old daughter of
Henry Smith, farmer. The girl was
gathering herbs. Cressinger and Daisy
had been intimate friends, and 1t was
said that he was very Jealous Of her.
A quarrel was the result of the meeting
in the field and, the dispute becoming
too warm, Miss Smith started towards
her home. As she was walking away
from him, Cressinger shot her in the
back. While she lay mortally wounded,
he cut her throat from ear to ear with
a hunting knife.
After the finding Of the body, sus-
plcion rested on Cressinger, and an
officer, who went in search Of him,
found the murderer at the side Of q
stream, washing the blood from his
bands. At his trial, Cressinger pleaded
insanity. He was 10 years old.
