Williams of this citv was appoimcd foreman, and after he aud the other members had been sworn, Judge Gunster charged them on their duties.

He told them why it was neces sary to excuse one juror from duty. If twenty four men wero on the jury it would be possible for them to be evenlv divided ou a question, and thus bo pre vented irom making a return, so there fore one juror is excused. He spoke to them at some length in resard to their duties while in the jury room considering and deliberating the evidence, and particularly cautioned them auainst divulir ing the secrets of tho jury room.

Tho County to Pay the Costs of the Okcll Quiuuan Contest. The three judges of the local Courts held a consultation yesterday morning and a little later handed down their decree in the election contest which they decided in favor of Mr. Quinnan, The decree gives the names of the illegal voters as they appeared in The Republican of Saturday last, says the contest increased Mr. Quinnun's vote 14, and gives him the election by a mujoritv of 36. To the decision yesterday morning was added a paragraph by court which states that there wag probable cause for the contest, hence the costs are to be paid by the county.

Ex Judge Knapp and Mr. Okell Spent yesterday afternoon in examining the papers on file in the Prothonotary's office, ISM AS YET. POSTOFFICE SITUATION MAINS UNSOLVED. THE VILLAGE OF THR00P. RE THE CAHPBEL MEN HAYE A DAY.

Very Confident and Willing to Back Their Convictions With Coin of the Realm An O'Boyle Man Says Vandling Will Get it if Harrity Shews His Hand. The President sent no Scranton name to the Senate for confirmation yesterday. and the postofficc situation still remains unsolved. So far as could be learned yesterday neither Mr. O'Boyle nor Mr.

Campbell had arrived home from Washington. Both are there nushintr their claims with all the vigor of experienced political generals. Mr. "Vandling re mains away from Washington, confident of his own strong endorsement and will ing to bank upon his chances of success. CONFIDENT FACTIONS.

The Vandling men are confident that neither O'Boyle oj Campbell has a chance of winning. The Camnbell men say that there is no show for O'Boyle; his cause is a hopek S3 one, they declare. The O'Boyle men admit that Vandling is lormidaulc with Robinson back of him, but say that Mr. Campbell's last chance is gone. the Campbell men were never seemingly more confident than they were yesterday.

They weht about look ing cheerful and contented and declared their willingness to bet on Mr. Campbell's chances. It is hard to account for the phenomenal confidence that all the factious are showing. Neither Campbell, Vandling or O'Boyle is sure of the place. AN O'BOYLE PARTISAN.

"I honestly think that Mr. O'Boyle will get it, remarked one well known politician yesterday as he stared hard at the Columbus monument on tho square. If Harrity remains neutral he certainly will." "Will Harrity so remain?" "Well, I cannot say as to that but I bc lievo that he will. He is a man who makes few promises and when lie does promise he may le relied on. Now I have a sort of an idea that Mr.

Harrity has decided to keep out of this fight. If he does Mr. O'Boyle must surely win." "But if Harrity is not neutral?" "Then he will favor the man Charley Robinson endorses and the winner will be Vandling. I know a man who had a conversation witli Harrity iu Harrisburg. Mr.

Harrity distinctly stated that he do sired to oblige Mr. Kobinson in this matter if hu could. "I don't want Charley to think that I am an ingratc he said. I owe him considerable lor past favors and I desire to show my gratitude tit the ear liest opportunity." "If Mr. Harrity shows his hand at all it won't be for cither Mr.

Campbell or Mr. O'Boyle. I will admit that much. "Ycu are a personal friend of Vand lings, how is it that you are not supporting him?" Because he did not begin his canvass a proper way. He waited until the last minute and then swung into the field When the other men had made their fight.

On that account I think that Mr. O'Bovlo is entitled to this office." The Residents Want it fncorporateil as a Borough. A number of residents of Throop yester day petitioned Court to have that village incorporated as a borough. The petition states that the borough of Dickson City now includes within its limits two villages, to wit: Priceburg and Throop and the petitioners pray that the said village of Throop be set ofi from said boroush of Dickson Citv and erected into a new and separate borough of Throop. The boundaries of the proposed new bor ough are as follows: Beginning at a corner in the centro of the Lackawanna river, at a point in line between the two tracts of land iu tho warrantee names of Levi Pierce and William Pierce, thenee south 42 degiees East 9S0 rerchoa nlons the south line of tracts in tbe warrantee names of Levi Pierce, Hannah Bell and Robert Wal mnnd being also the southerly boundary line of Oiyphant borough to corner of jkiorgan, along the southerly bouudnry of Oiyphant borough south 43 degrees, east 413 perches to a point iu the line of Roaring Brook township; thence along said boundary line, south 48 degrees west 270 perches being the southerly line of Eleanor Harriet tract to the northeast corner of tho borough of Dunmore and thence along Dan more borough line and liue of Scranton city north 51 degrees, west 1470 perches to the centre of the Lackawanna river' aforesaid and thence up to tho place of beginning.

The petition will be considered by the Grand Jury. THE UNCLE KEEPS THE CHILD. Judge Gmisler Won't Grant the Prayer of the Grandparents. Judge Gunster handed down a decision yesterday in the Thomas D. 'Williams habeas corpus case which was heard a short while ago.

Thomas D. Williams, aged 4 years, is the son of David R. Williams, deceased, and upon the death of both of itB parents, which occurred when the boy was 7 months old, was taken in charge by Thomas Davis, its mother's brother, who lives in Bellevue, but who lived at that time in Plymouth. Now tho grandparents of the boy, Mr. and Mrs.

Richard Wi desire to obtain possession of him. In his opinion Court says the evidence ians to uisciose any good reason why the custody of the child should be transferred to Mrs. Williams. It is true she is his grand nother and has baen appointed his guardian, but the respondent is his uncle and the boy has been taken care of by his uncle's family since the death of his parents. Court is not bound in a habeas corpus hearing to do more than to free persons irom illegal restraints, and is not rtmiirnd to ucuuu vyuu js enuueu to tue guardian snip or to deliver inlants into the custody of any particular persons.

"I do not think," wmmura uic iiugo, mill tne cmid would be any better off with his grandparents than he is with the respondent, aud for this reason the writ is discharged and the child is remanoea to mo custody of the re spondent."

The objective point is Iowa, where his brother rtsided. A trip will also be made to Denver and other points' providing his health improves. Mr. Rosser during his long years of service has been a faithful employe of the company and a host of friends among the traveling public wish tne gentleman a pleasant journey ana speedy recovery.

PUT FORTH A HELPING HAND. The Cymrodorions Tender Their Services to the Elm Park Church. The Executive Committee of the Cymfo donons met yesterday morning and unani mously decided to tender the services of the choir to the congregation of the Elm Park Chnrch. They will also furnish an orchestra to accompany them. When the proposition was made to the church people it was accepted.

The music to be rendered on the occasion of the con cert will all be of Prof. Protheroe's compo sition and it is not unlikely that the concert given in Mears' Hall, St. Patriot's night, win De repeated in its entirety. At the rehearsal of the Scranton Choral Union Isst evenine a Committee was ap pointed to wait on the trustees of the Elm Park Church and tender to them the set vices of the choir to aid the church. WANTS IT STRICKEN OFF.

Why a Certain Recognizance Should Not Re Forfeited. Court yesterday granted a rule to show cause why the forfeiture of recognizance of bail in the case of the Commonwealth against Patrick L. Davis shall not be stricken off. The petition is made by John Cawley, administrator of the estate of John McGarry, deceased. In 1887 Patrick L.

Davis was arrested for doing unlawful 'insurance business. John McGarry went his bail before an Alderman in the Bum of $500. After being indicted by the Grand Jury, Davis skipped, and his whereabouts have not since been discovered, although diligent search has been made. The petitioner claims that the es tate is in no condition flnaacially to pay the forfeiture, and therefoie prays that the ioneiture ot bail Da stncKen ou. K0LY WEEK AT ST.

LUKE'S. Noonday Services Every Day The Rector's Discourse Yesterday. Noonday services Will be held every day this week at St Luke's Church. Yesterday the Eector discoursed on the "Cleansing of the Temple," as one of the first notable acts of the Saviour of mankind in the beginning of the great week of events which culminated with his crucifixion on Good iriday. The reverend preacher not only deprecated the use of churches for any other purpose than that of religion, but urged upon his hearers the importance of keeping themselves "Unspotted from the World" lest they should desecrate the temple of God which was within them.

Such discourses cannot but be useful to all who are willing to put themselves under the influence of such teaching. 15 cases choice canned corn at 15c ner can. per doz. Nothing like it for the price. Two Held to Bail.
