Burgess Jacoby held Court lu bis room
in the statlou house last eveuing. The
Burgess looked worried. Before him lay
a number of legal-looking documents re-citing
how uusinootbly runs the love of
First Ward Neapolitans. Antonio de
Kelly swore a Bible oath that he was
struck forcibly, brutally aud without
a cause by a fellow Italian known as
George Buno.
Bono's fiance has already accorded quite
a knowledge lu manipulating domestic en-tanglements
aud athletics characteristic to
the race She Is Miss Sal.ilia Meiriuiac.
aud although she never beard of Uolasou
she has been where Hobaon's name will
never be knowu.
Buno had a warrant issued for Kelly's
arrest and Sabilla weut them one better
aud had two warrants written out for Bel-ligerent
Alilolil.-i
All the cases were heard last evening,
ami It would have kept several InterpreterH
busy to keep the Burgess |K>eted. There
was more Italian language In the eli-te
the square inch than could ever lie
equaled In any commodity by the largest
hydraulic apparatus ever constructed.
The Burgess Is sadly lacking lu Italian
sprochau ale aud after oue of the contest-ants
made a motion to settle all cases,
Sabilla presented a resolution requesting
that the costs be placed on the male por-tlon
of the belligerents. The chivalrous
chief executive nobly acquiesced with the
Italian madonna, the costs were paid,
court adjourned and all was still, aud
pi..i..iiiu will be until the next time.

The only way to make the Montgomery
county judiciary uon-partlsan, is for the
Democrats to endorse Judge Weand this
time. This Is the Idea of Neville D. Ty-son,
a Nornstown lawyer of considerable
prominence, wbo waa mentioned as a
Democratic candidate for Judge. In a
lett.i de. lining the nomination. Ml.
Tyson says: "All other things being
equal, 1 recognize the wisdom as a general
rule of having both great political parties
represented upon the bench when suoh
cau be done, but as our bench Is constitut-ed
It la at present unnecessary. Our courts
are presided over by two gentlemen of
signal ability, moat rigid in Integrity and
Impartially, well known as mea of the
highest character, who iu the administra-tion
of Justice know no political parry,
and they have both been tried and not
found wanting. We recognised this in
the case of Judge Swartx at the last elec-tion,
and there le now no reason why our
party should drop beck trom tbe just sod
dieniit. 11 staud It then took. It will be
time enough to talk about having both
parties represented upon the bench of this
county when a vacaaoyoocurafrom natural
causes, but at present I deem It unwise,
aud as I have said, disloyal to tbe Interests
ol the community to supplant in the office
of judge a tried aud valuable officer by one
whose qua 11 Heat Ions have yet to be tested."
At au Informal meeting of antl-(J,uay

Introduction to the voters of this vicinity.
He has a number of frleuds here who
have been most loyal to him during his
canvass, and who are utilizing every effort
to insure his success. Mr. Jenkins Is an
able lawyer, well-versed In legislative
matters, fully capable of filling any elec-tive
position and If elected would make
oue of the beet Senators that ever sat lu

selection would add much material strength
to the ticket.
"It looks as though there Is going to be

are fomenting strife, and uo propbst can
