Olyphant Brings Action tor Damages Against his Old Enemy, Joseph A. Dolphin. William J. Schubmehl, by his counsel, Martin Vidaver, yesterday filed with the prothonotary a suit for libel against J. A.

Dolphin of Olyphant, asking for damages in the sum of $5,000. At the time that the offense complained of was committed, Mr. Schubmehl says that he was a resident of Olyphant, prior to that had been secretary of the council of the borough. He had never been guilty of either perjury or larceny ani had always discharged his duties with strict integrity. Dolphin, who is now secretary of the borough council, intending to Injurs the plaintiff, Mr.

Schubmehl says, did falsely and maliciously make and publish of the plaintiff a scandalous, defamatory and illegal libel by submitting the same in writing as a report as secretary of the borough to a meeting held by council on June 14, in the said borough. Here the extract objected to by Mr. Schubmehl is quoted. In reporting the collections made in May, 180S, for the month of April, Mr. Dolphin referred to what he termed the "stealing of te fund" by Mr.

Schubmehl. Dolphin goes on to say that the evidence of th? stea are now in his possession. Then Mr. Dolphin went on to make' report upon his effort to secure the books of the council from Mr. Schubmehl.

In this, Dolphin charged that when the ex secretary reported to court that he had turned over to the council all books and papers and swore to the same that he committed perjury and "his object must be great indeed when he so flippantly swears false." Dolphin went on to say that any citizen could prosecute, but he thought it the duty of council to desig nate some one as prosecutor, in which case Dolphin promised to "prove ex Secretary William J. Schubmehl a thief." Schubmehl brands all these statements as false and malicious and claims that they have done him great damage.

THE COURT WAS APPEALED TO After a Long Delay Patrick Ruddy was Prevailed Upon to Say That he Paid his Taxes With Money That he Earned by the Sweat of his Brow.

There were only twenty five witnesses examined in the election contest yesterday, a great many 'witnesses who had been ummoned remaining away. Nearly all of those who answered were from the Thirteenth ward. The petitioners claim to have unearthed several votes that were defective. Those who were examined were: Patrick Ruddy, Martin Doherty Edward Kelly, John Cunningham, Anthony Manly, Patrick Mallow, Andrew O'Horo, Miles McDonnell, Michael Heen, Walter Weyland, Fred Learing, William Quinn, M. J.

McDonnell, Martin Ryan, Richard McHale, William Moran, W. E. Dougherty, John Finnegan, Philip Garwin, Patrick Mul doon, Anthony O'Malley, Michael Sweeny. J. E.

McGowan, William Holt ham, Michael Gaughan. In the main the proceedings we: 'i uneventful but tne witness caused quite a flurry. When Patrick Ruddy was called Mr. Lewis, cne of the examiners sail: "Hold up your hand Mr. Rudly and be sworn." The witness answered "No, sir.

I am not going to swear for no man until I am paid." "Do you refuse to give any testimony?" asked Mr. Lewis. "I don't understand what you say." "Do you refuse to testify?" "No, sir. I don't refuse to testify." "What do you do? You are called here," quoth Mr. 'Holgate.

"What for?" "We will tell you after you are sworn." Here the witness was sworn. "Mr. Ruddy, where were you born?" asked Mr. Holgate. "In Ireland, I suppose." "How old are you?" "Something over 54." "Where were you living last November?" "I was living on my own property, I suppose." "Where was that?" "Green Ridge where did you notify me to come here from?" "What ward do you live in?" "Thirteenth ward." The witness then told the district he voted In and where the polling place was located.

He said that he had lived in the district 14 years. When asked for his naturalization papers he said he hadn't got them. "They are here in the court house for the last 23 years," he remarked. "Lot me see your tax receipt," said Mr. Holgate.

"I have not got them. You cannot throw my vote out until you find out whether I am a citizen or not, I will let you know that. A man cannot keep his papers all the time prepared for you," said Ruddy. He then produced tax receipts and Mr. Holgate asked, "Did you pay this tax yourself?" "Certainly I paid them taxes myself, you didn't pay them for me, did you?" "Did you pay them with your own money?" "That Is my business and you will find out." Do You Want Up to Date Commercial Stationery? Lithographing, Bank Wfork, Bonds.

Holgate asked to have the record certified to court. This was done and the matter brought to the attention of Judge Edwards. When Mr. Lewi3 returned he said: "We have submitted the matter to one of the judges of the court and he says you must answer the question. Mr.

Ruddy. Do you refuse to answer the question?" let him come here and make me answer if he can. I don't ask him to pay my taxes." The witness was warned that he would be given another chance and if he did not answer the question he would be presented without further ta.k. He was recalled and, finally answered: "I earned that money with the sweat of my brow." Ruddy was then excused. witnesses gave amusing answers, taking offense when they were asked if they received any money for their votes and whether their taxes were paid with their own money or not.
