VICTIM OF SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Still in Precarious Condition at
Lackawanna Hospital.

Emedio Antonio, Of Old Forge, who
was shot by Joseph Sabetino. during an
alteration on Sunday in front of James
Bells saloon, is still alive at the Lacka-
wanna hospital, with Il bullet in his
body.
No effort was made yesterday to ex-
tract the bullet as the mans condition
would not warrant an operation. The
X-rays was used in an effort to
locate the bullet which entered the
body on the left side between the
fourth and fifth ribs.
Sabetino the man who did the shoot
ing is confined in the county Jail and
seems indifferent as to the result of his
act. He contends that the shooting was
done in self-defense. No effort was
made by his friends to secure his re-
lease on bail, and he will be held to
await the result of Antonio's injury.

Election at Right Time.

III. Was the election held at the right
time? We find no difficulty in answering
this question in the affirmative. Accord
ing to the act Incorporating the borough
of Hyde Park the elections We're to be
held on the second Tuesday of March in
each year. The burgess and town coun-
Gil We're also intrusted with the charge
of the poor and with the power to levy
and collect taxes for their support. The
act Incorporating the Scranton Poor dis
trct provides that the borouGhs coming
into the poor district shall elect the poor
directors at the 'uSual spring election"
1t appears that previous to 1874 local
elections were held at various times In
the year throughout the state. March
seems to have been the most favored
period. although April is found in some
local acts and Pittsburg once elected its
mayor in December The constitution.
Article VIII. section 8. made the time for
holding municipal elections uniform
throughout the state: "All elections for
city. ward, borough and township Off
GERS for regular terms OF service shall be
held on the third Tuesday of February"
Taking into consideration the fact that
borough and township officers in many
cases had charge of the poor and levied
taxes for their support. and that many
townships elect overseerS of the poor. we
think that poor directors of the Scranton
Poor district come within the constitu-
tional provision and must be elected if
elected at all, at the February election.
We cannot overlook the nature of the
duties poor directors are called on to
perform. as we'll as the powers they eXer-
else. These duties and powers are prop
ery within the domain Of municipal func-
tiOnS.

Not a Complication.

/ NV ultt't tilc lsSuS p1lncT way.
Not a Complication.
| We do not consider the annexation OF
the territory aforesaid in the light of n
complication. The annexed part consti-
| tuted separate election district. The
| vote for poor director from this election
district should not have been computed
| by the court last February. If our atten-
| ton had been called to the matter we
would have refused to include the vote
In the general computation. But why
| should the electors of the former borough
of Hyde Park, which now and at the
| time of the election. consisted Of the
Fourth. Fifth, Fourteenth. Fifteenth and
Eighteenth wards. and the First and Sec
ond districts of the Sixth ward, be dis
franchised because the voters of one cleo
ton district voted for the Office of poor
director without warrant of law? The
returns from all the election districts
constituting the whole of the former
borough of Hyde Park were before lis and
were computed, and they show that
James A. Evans had a clear majority of
the votes cast
The only way in which an election could
be made impossible by a change of cleo
tion districts. or an increase in their
number, would be by the exclusion OF
voters residing within the limits OF the
former borough by reason of their being
! attached to another election precinct not
a part Of the borough territory. For in
| stance, a part of what is now the Fourth
ward could have been added to the Twen-
ty-frst ward. the latter ward being out
side of the limits of the Hyde Park bor
| ough. IF this had been done 1t would be
impossible for the electors living in the
territory added to the Twenty-irst ward
to vote for poor director. because they
could not vote in two places. Such a
| change would disfranchise the voters and
would, in our Judgment. destroy the in
tegrty of the borough poor district so as
to make valid election therein impos-
sible. We therefore conclude that 1t was
possible to hold a legal election for the
office of poor director last February in
the territory comprising the former bor-
ough Of Hyde Park.

All in the Affirmative.

The three questions propounded by us
are answered in the affirmative
Counsel for respondent suggest that by
sustaining the demurrer an anomalous
condition will be created. The poor board
will be in part appointive and in part
elective. If the Hyde Park borough dis
trict can elect and the other districts
cannot elect poor director, there will be
one director elected and six appointed.
This only emphasizes the necessity of
corrective legislation. Results of this
character cannot be considered when a
question is before us for judicial inter
probation. The remedy is with the legis-
lature.
