IN COURT TO BAY. Judge Ehrgood, of Lebanon, held a 6hort session of court here this morning. George W. Osier was appointed judge of election in the Fifth precinct of the Seventh ward to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William B. Gibbons, legislative nominee.

Upon petitions of John Miller, Mrs. Catharine "Vbgle, Andrew Hoke, John Anderson and David Miller, the court granted rules requiring the city of Harrisburg to show cause why judgments for assessments for the Fourteenth and Shoop streets sewer should not be stricken from the records.

City Controller Gough to day made his report to the City Councils on auditing the accounts of the tax collectors of the city. This is the first time that the auditor's report has been made in the same year in which the collectoi s' books have been handed in. The dilatory auditing of former years led to innumerable suits, which were very annoying to the city and the City Solicitor and City Controller Gough determined to have the accounts audited promptly this year to avoid these complications.
