Refuse To pay For Bridge.

The Commissioners of Delaware coun-
ty. Pa. who recently awarded contract
for the erection of an addition to. the old
court house at Media, which will probably
cost the taxpayers some $2oo. 900 before it
is completed. still refuse to pay to Chester
county one-haf the cost of the repairs
made to an inter.county bridge last year
under the direction of the Chester County
Board of Commissioners,
The repairs cost trife more than was
anticipated. as ii was found after the
work was started on the old wooden
bridge, known as Batram's, over Crum
Creek, near White Horse. Willietown,
that the structure was in very bad con-
dition. The bill was a few hundred
dollars more than the Delaware County
Commissioners expected. So they refused
to pay anything at all.
Commissioners Allen and Feeley stated
that the law permits the Commissioners
to spend only $3.50 on contracts which are
not advertised and that the only one re-
ferred to was not advertised. The cost of
the bridge was approximately $3.50, and
they had no power to spend half that
amount under the law.

Jail sentences, with the addition of
fines in each case, were imposed Thurs
day upon three election judges convicted

months and $500 fine; Albert A. Cochran,
two years and $500 fine; Reuben d.
Smith one year and $500.

scored the prisoners for the crime they
had committed against the voters and
denounced the jury before whom they
had been tried for not finding them guilty
of willful neglect and connivance. which
would have permitted him to send them
to the penitentiary for long periods.

publicans and Democrats are under in
dictment for alleged frauds at the same
primary. They are charged with making
false returns Of the results of the primary.

is. the first attempt on the part of the
Greeks generally to erect an, institution

be so varied and its needs so numerous
that the building will be of enormous pro-
portions and will it is said, require more
than two years for its completion.
1t will be a combination Of home for
orphan girls and select academy for
young woman.
More than 900 acres have been pur-
