Thejudges of theelection, Peter F.

The other two testified as to the ballots. and espec- ially that. there were no pasters on, When Mr. Knox asked time to file his reply to the general statément of Mr. Zook, Alderman Phillips caused a general laughamongthe spectators who quite filled all the in‘ailahle room of the council chamber, by mov- ing. which was voted, “that Mr. Knox have five minutes time in which to prepare and file his'reply," Of which priviledge he judicially declined to avail himself. s.

When the case was called Mr. S. F. Knox, attorney for Mr. St Peter, filed a demurrer. and while that was being considered, he offered, to have Mr. St Peter resign. if Mr. Brand would do the same, or let the council declare the whole election invalid and order a new one, which Mr. Brand declited to do.

E After brief but cogent arguments on : both sides, the demurrer was overâ€" 1 'ruled and the trial proceeded.

Then Mr. Brand. through his attorney Mr. Zook. filed a ‘protest, and the trial came 06 Tuesday even- the first ward. Mr. Brand, as our readers remember, was the regular and only nominee along with Mich- ael McCatl'rey for alderman, the for- mer for the long and the latter for , the short term. An efl'ort was made to get Paul Gieser to run against Mr. Brand, but it failed, as Mr. Gieser‘ would not allow the use of his name. Peter F.

Mr. Zook; paid him $1.10, his fee for that one1 night, and Mr. Knox told him to take ,it as he would “be so much ahead," which he did. Mr. Dooley said he noticed there were pasters on some of the ballots as they were handed him to put in the box, which Mr. Zook contended violated the secrecy of the ballot, one of the vital points of the Australian system which our lated. Mr. Dooley said he did not know who wrotethe pasters, or whose hand writing they were in. . The city council met Tuesday evening specially to try the contest- ed aldermanic election case of xSilas P. Brand against Alfred St Peter in the first ward.

His testimony was . very positive and several times when ‘ Mr. Knox objected to Mr. Zook's lquestions. Mr. Booth went right straight ahead and answered them, which the crowd enjoyed immensely. He had a pester torn into severhl ‘pieces which he said Thomas Dooley gave him election day and told him to paste it over Mr. Brand's name. He tore up the pester and gave the ipieces to Mr. S. P. Brand who had l kept them till now. He said the Jcross was already marked on the be]- llot when Mr. Dooley gave it to him. which of course would spoil that bal- lot and cast suspicion on the others with pasters. S's: P. Brand testified as to the identity of the torn pieces of the paster, Mr. Booth swore to, and John Rudolph testified briefly. John Stupey was called. and when he demanded his fee that thing was getting too monotonous and Mr. Zook saidto him “You may go." and he went. That finished the testimony as the respondent’s coun- sel rested his case without any testi- mony. The counsel made brief speech- es, restatingthe vital points already made. ‘v. .. and g militr Foi ‘ want imprL i court gestet Judgt need. all th: l us thc provet l Suc l us om E North l public lonce a street. 3 of the never is ope] \ ment. there 5 and t“ And if genera outline want n imriror but thi an imp road at abuttin ‘ by all I L._~,l , Thomas M.
