ONE CENT THE MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS Constable Loucks' Case Against County Treasurer Argued. JUDGE ASKS FOR ITEMIZED BILLS Current Business, Divorces Granted, Guardians Appointed--The Buenna Vista Ice Co. Case--Other Matters Considered At yesterday's session of court the mandamus proceedings brought by Constable Geo. H. Loucks, of the Twelfth Ward, against County Treasurer Win.

Thompson, to compell him to pay a bill of costs amounting to $50,62, were argued before Judge Bittenger. John W. Heller appeared for Mr. Loucks and contended that the treasurer had no grounds for refusing to pay the warrant presented by Loucks, and that the bill having been allowed by the Commissioners at a regular session, it was properly drawn up and should have been paid. Mr.

Neff, appearing for the treasurer, said that although the bill may have been allowed at a regular meeting of the Commissioners, still this did not appear on the face of the warrant as presented to Mr. Thompson and he would not have been justified in paying the sum. He said that it was not Mr. Thompson's duty to go into the Commissioners' office to. see whether or not the warrants presented to him had been properly allowed by them, but that it should be so stated on the face of the warrant ip order that he, the treasurer, would be entirely safe in paying them.

Judge Bittenger asked that the itemized bills for mileage, serving of warrants and other costs which make up the total, he handed to him before he prepares his opinion. Arguments by counsel were heard before Judge Stewart in the ease of W. W. Paterson and Albert Thompson against the Buena Vista Ice company.

WOMAN FOULLY MURDERED Mrs.

John Anstine of Near Red Lion, Met Horrible Fate. BODY FOUND BADLY MUTILATED She Had No Doubt Been Assaulted at Herbst's Woods and Then Murdered by Her Assailant--The Peo. pie of That Section Greatly Excited. One of the most brutal murders in years occurred in Herbst's woods, about a mile and a half south of Red Lion, yesterday, where Mrs. John Anstine, aged 50 years, wife of well known farmer of near Springvale, met her death at the hands of some one as yet unknown.

Mrs. Anstine and her husband left home together yesterday morning. They drove to Red Lion, where the woman wanted to have her teeth attended to by a dentist, and also desired to make some purchases. Her husband drove on to York, whither he desired to purchase a binder. Mires.

Anstine attended to her affairs in the borough, and as the distance to her home was only about two mi'es she started to walk home. This must have been (between nine and ten o'elock. Mr. Wm. Sentz, who lives near Herbst's woods, remembers that he saw her on the way home.

At the time she was nearing the woods mentioned. As evening approached her family began to wonder why she had not returned home, and at last began to look after her. They proceeded along the road and on meeting Mr. Lentz they learned that he had seen her near the woods. A search was made, but it was some time before the party discovered blood on the road.

This was in front of the woods, and as soon as they saw it they became horror stricken. There was evidence of a desperate struggle, and perhaps of death staring them in the face. A hurried search of the woods was made, and at last their efforts were rewarded by finding the body behind a pile of fence rails in the woods, not far from the rondside. The body was lying face downward. The back of the head was crushed in.

She was badly cut about the face and neck and her dress was torn and cut. People who saw the body think that the woman had been assaulted and then killed to hide the guilt of the assailant. The justice of the peace was not at home and in his stead Jacob Miller, a notary public of Red Lion, took charge of the remains and had them taken to the woman's home. official investigation was made last night. An Inquest will be held this morning.

So far as revealed there are no clues to the muror murderers as yet. The York police and constables were notified of the crime and all are on the alert. It is hoped the miscreant will soon be apprehended. Mrs. Anstine was the mother of a large family and was highly esteemed by the people of the neighborhood.

There is great excitement in that section. In His Name. The service rendered by Mrs. E. M.

STRIKE LEADERS ARE HOPEFUL It is Expected 1 That All Engineers, Firemen and Pump Runners in the Hazleton District Will Respond to the Strike Order Next Monday, Wilkesbarre May action of engineers and pump runners in the Shamokin region in refusing to obey the call of the United Mine Workers to strike on June 2, in case the operators do not grant an eight hour work day at the present wages, has had a depressing effect in this region, although the leaders of the miners say there is no reason for disagreement. State Secretary Mullahy, of the Stationary Firemen's Association of Pennsylvania, said today: "Undoubtedly some engineers and pumpmen will refuse to quit work, but when the time comes it will be found that the bulk of the men now at work will obey the call of the United Mine workers." The local coal operators are of the opinion that what has happened at Shamokin will happen in the Schuykkill, Lackawanna and Wyoming regions.

The superintendent of large company said: "We have assurances from nearly all of our engineers that they will not desert their post on the second June, but will remain with us. I cannot say how it will be with the firemen. Undoubtedly many them will obey the strike order of another labor organization." Many Places Filled. Hazleton, May Frank Pardee said this evening that the places of most of the striking engineers, firemen and pump runners at Cranberry have been filled.
