‘Through the State.
How the Voters Uoted in the Different Towns and
Cities—Johnstown Goes Republican—Harrisburg
Swept by the Democrats and the Public Improve-
ment Proposition Carries By an Immense Major-
ity—The Returns from Pittsburg.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 18.—After one of the
fiercest and stubbornly contested cam-
paigns the heaviest vote ever polled in a
municipal election in Pittsburg, was polled
to-day and at ten o’clock to-night, the re-
| turns are coming in slowly. Enough bas
been received to make it almost certain
that the present Republican administration
has been defeated by the Republican, Dem-
ocratie, or citizens tickets, by a good sized
majority.
Repubiican Chairman Brown ciaims that
Joseph E. Lewis, the present incumbent,
has been elected controller by 5,000 ma-
jority. The citizens’ chairman on the
other hand, claims the election of John B.
Larkin by between 10,000 and 15,000 ma-
jority. Considering the heated campaign,
the lack of trouble at the polls is remarka-
ble. While numerous fights took place
and much bitterness shown hy the workers,
nothing serious transpired, and only four
or five arrests were made.
At no time, except at a presidential
election has the counting of votes produced
more interest by the citizens, and to-night
the downtown streets were jammed with
people awaiting the result of to-day’s con-
test.
The fight for coutrollers was the princi-
pal hattle but with it in many wards, the
contest for councilman was almost as ex-
citing. The new council will probably be
Republican, but the citizens have elected
quite a number, who, it is claimed, will
give the fusionists a good sized working
minority.
The election in Allegheny was very quiet
and uninteresting, the election of Brown,
the present Republican incumbent, for con-
troller, having becn a practical walkover.
Towns in western Pennsylvania generally
held elections to-day but in the majority
of cases no special contest has been noted
except for minor offices. ;
Returns up to midnight are
meagre.
At Oil City, James Hasson, Democrat,
was elected mayor over J. H. Fulmer, Re-
publican, by 800 majority.
At Corry indications are that Robert
Paterson, Republican, wins over Harry
Aury for city treasurer. ;
Republicans carry everything in Mercer
with the exception of one constable and
one school director. EEN
At Uniontown, for the first time inmany
vears, the Republicans made a clean sweep
of all the borough offices, the Democrats
only getting the minority offices required
by law. A surprisingly heavy vote was
polled. The contests were waged in every
ward and some arrests were made for alleg-
ed illegal voting.
JOHNSTOWN, February 18.—The Repub-
licans carried the city in to day’s munie-
ipal election by majorities ranging from
500 to 700. John Pendry, Republican,
will sacceed L. D. Woodruff, Democrat, as
mayor. Alexander Wilson and Charles H.
Wehn, both Republicans, were elected con-
troller and treasurer, respectively, and will
succeed Republicans in offiee. .
The vote cast was about 6,300, which is
over 450 below that cast in the municipal
election of 1899. A fierce snow storm
raged all day and kept many voters at
home.
WILKESBARRE, February 18.—A heavy
vote was polled at the city election to-day.
The Republicans elected the following
ticket over the citizens ticket: Mayor,
Charles H. Price; treasurer, Owen D.
Jones ; controller, Fred Demois. A num-
ber of councilmen were elected on non-par-
tisan issues,
HARRISBURG, Feb. 18.—Vance C. Me-
Cormick, the Demoeratic nominee for may-
or, is elected by 2,000 majority over Dr.
Samuel F. Hassler, Republican. The
Democrats also claim the election of John
K. Royai, city treasurer ; William H.
Moore, city controller, and James H. W.
Howard, William M. McGastrock and Geo-,
W. Leisman, Jr., city assessors.
McCormick is 29 vears old and was cap-
tain of the famous Yale foot ball team in
1892. The proposition to increase the city
indebtedness $1,000,000 for publicimprove-
ments was adopted by 5,000 majority. Mec-
Cormick was one of the originators of this
movement and had charge of the legislation
in common council, of which he isa mem-
ber. .
At midnight the Republican leaders con-
ceded the election of the entire Democratic
city ticket. *
YORK, Feb. 18.—M. B. Gibson, Repub-
lican, is probably elected mayor over Luth-
er A. Small, Democrat. The Democrats
will doubtless elect the rest of their city
ticket. The Republicans claim to have
elected all their councilmanic candidates.
A great deal of cutting was done and the
count is slow. id
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.—In the munic-
ipal election here to-day the Republican
administration forces won practically a
sweeping victory. The election was for a
city solicitor, six city magistrates, city
councilmen and school directors. The
electors also voted on a proposition to in-
crease the city’s debs five millions of dol-
lars. For city solicitor, John L. Kinsey,
the Republican and union party candidate
and the present incumbent, was elected by
a large majority over Charles C. Binney,
the Democratic and municipal league fusion
candidate. Each elector was allowed by
law to vote for four of the six magistrates
to be elected, thus giving the minority rep-
resentation. The six successful candidates
are : i ; : :
Robert J. Moore, David S. Scott, James
A. Briggs and W. J. Hughes, Republicans,
and James E. Gorgan and Thomas E. Fitz-
patrick, Democrats and municipal league,
fusionists, The defeated candidates are
William R. Knight, Jr., and James B.
Gheehan, of the Union party.
The proposition to increase the city debt
was carried by a substantial majority.
There were numerous close contests for
councilmen in the several wards and it was
quite late before definite results were
known. : :

The Reunion of the 148th.
The Survivors of a Valiant Regiment Assembled at
Bellefonte—8plendid Weather and an Interesting
Program Lend to the Interest of the Gathering—
An Historical Sketch of the Regiment.
The reunion of the 148th Reg. Pa. Vols.
which was held in Bellefonte on Wednes-
day and Thursday attracted just 150 of the
possibly 350 survivors of that valiant regi-
ment to this place. Owing to the extraor-
dinary demand on our space for this issue
it is impossible to pablish a full report of
the proceedings, but the program published
in a recent issue of the WATCHMAN was
carried out to the letter. The three great
commanders of the Regiment, Gens. Brooke,
Mulholland and Beaver were all here,
hand-in-glove, with their old soldiers and
it was a happy time for them all.
The exercises were held in the court
house and in Gregg post rooms and in the
latter place the visitors were served with
an elaborate dinner on Wednesday even-
ing.
The following history of the regiment is
a digest of the late Maj. R. H. Foster's con-
tribution to the Linn history of Centre
county. In another column will be found
a complete roster of the regiment.
Early in the month of August, 1862, and
partly with a view to save Centre county
from the operations of the drart then pend-
ing, it was thought that a regiment of vol-
unteers might be raised in addition to the
numerous companies already in the field
from the county. By energetic and un-
ceasing efforts, before the end of the month
came, seven companies, numbering over
six hundred men, were recruited and taken
to Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg. For the
time being it was thought this about ex-
hausted the material of the county. These
seven companies were composed entirely of
Centre county men, except a sturdy little
band from the wilds of Cameron county
who joined Company F at Harrishurg.
Three other companies, two from Jefferson
and Indiana and one from Clarion, were
united to the seven, and formed the regi-
ment known as the One Hundred and forty-
eighth. The regiment was organized on
the 8th day of September, 1862. The Cen-
tre county companies were A, B, C, D, F,
G, and H ; the Jeffersou and Indiana and
Clarion companies, E, I, and K. The regi-
ment marched from Camp Curtin on the
evening of the 8th of September, and im-
mediately began its career of service.
“The Army of the Potomac had been
withdrawn from the Peninsula, Pope had
been forced hack to the defenses of Wash-
ington, and Lee was about to invade Mary-
land. To protect the northern communica-
tions with Washington, therefore, became
an urgent necessity, and the One Hundred
and Forty-eighth was one of the regiments
placed on'duty along the railway north of
Baltimore. Starting by rail from Harris-
burg, the morning of the 9th found us at
Cockeysville, fifteen miles from Baltimore.
Camps were formed at Cockeysville, Luth-
ersville, Gunpowder Bridge, Phenix and
Glencoe, covering about twelve miles of the
railroad, with the regimental headquarters
at Cockeysville. The battles of South
Mountain and Antietam were in the mean-
time fought, and the tide of war again flow-
ed back to Virginia. We still remained in
Maryland, and under a rigid system of
drills and inspections the regiment made
rapid progress in dicipline, and in all the
duties of the soldier in camp.
‘The armies in Virginia confronted each
other at Fredericksburg, and in the month
of December the One Hundred and Forty-
eighth was ordered from the pleasant camps
of the past three months to the front. Pass-
ing through Baltimore and Washington, a
tiresome march to Liverpool Point, thence
by ferry boats across the Potomac to Acquia
Creek Landing, another march of twelve or
fifteen miles on a cold, dreary, drizzly af-
ternoon and night to Falmouth, aud on the
18th of December we became a part of the
Brmy of the Potomac. joining the First
Brigade, First Division, Second Army
Corps. From that time until the end of
the war the fortunes of the regiment were
identified with the operations of that army.
‘‘We marched to Chancellorsville, and in
the struggle of May 1, 2 and 3, 1863, the
metal of our ranks was first tested, and the
severity of the test is shown by the long,
sad list of killed and wounded. The result
of the battle was unfortunate and we
tramped back, through mud and rain, to
the old camp near Falmouth. The pros-
pect was not encouraging. Among those
who fell were Lieuts. William H. Bibleand
Frank Stevenson, both of Company C.
Both were well known in the regiment
and sadly missed. Lieut. Bible was casi
in nature’s biggest mould. His tall, com-
manding form always attracted notice,
while his many excellent traits had drawn
nearly all of his brother officers towards
him in ties of warm friendship. Lieut.
Stevenson also had many friends, who will
not soon permit the remembrance of his
happy, jovial disposition to drop from
memory. ;
“Lee had begun his movement north
which culminated at Gettysburg, and early
in June, with the Second Corps, we start
in the same direction, marching by way of
Stratford, Dumfries, and Occoquan to Cen-
treville, and from Centreville to Thorough-
fare Gap, where we remained a number of
days. Thence we moved by Gum Springs
to the Potomac, which was crossed at Ed-
wards Ferry, and we reached the Monocacy,
near Frederick, in Maryland, on the 28th
day of June. On the 29th we marched to
Uniontown, and it will long be remember-
ed by those who made it as the big march.
The distance was thirty-five miles and the
time twelve hours. It was an exhausting
day’s work, and many were the stragglers
left by the wayside. We rested over the
30th, and on the 1st day of July went to
Gettysburg by way of Taneytown. Itisa
singular fact that while approaching Gettys-
burg not a sound of the conflict then raging
between the advance portions of the two
armies reached our ears, and not until
about dark, when an ambulance with the
body of the lamented Gen. Reynolds pass-
od us, did we know that there had been a
fight that day. During the night of the 1st
we bivoucked to the right of the Taney-
town road, within two miles of the battle
field. On the morning of the 2nd we ad-
vanced to the front, after an inspection of
arms, prepared to bear our part in the great
battle of the war.
“The One Hundred and Forty-eighth
went through the actions of the two days
with great credit, and suffered severely in
killed and wounded. The heaviest loss oc-
curred in the evening of the 2d, while the
regiment was engaged in front of Round
Top. Capt. Robert M. Forster, of Company
C, was killed, and Lieut. John A. Bayard,
of Company H, mortally wounded.
“After the battle we remained on the
field over the 4th, and then moved around
| to the Baltimore turnpike, at Ten Taverns.
From there we marched by way of Taney-
town and Middletown bok 0 Fredlofich,
and from Frederick by way of Crampton’s
Gap ‘to the Potomac, near Williamsport,
where we were again in the presence of
Lee’s army, the position of the One Hund-
red and Forty-eighth being directly in
front of St. James’ College. Lee withdrew
across the river, and we then marched to
Harper's Ferry, passing over the old battle
field of Antietam, and in a very few days
we were again upon the ‘sacred soil’ of Vir-
ginia. We marched down Loudon valley,
stopping at Suicker’s, Ashby’s and Manas-
sas Gaps. without encountering the enemy.
Then we reached Warrenton, and from
there moved across the Orange and Alexan-
dria railroad to Morrisville,a short distance
from Kelly’s Ford, on the Rappahannock.
*‘In the month of September of this year
—1863—began what has often been describ-
ed as the ‘campaign of manceavres,” and
not until December did the army rest.
Crossing the Rappahannock, we first push-
ed forward to the Rapidan, that narrow
stream at many points only separating the
picket lines. After remaining here fora
week or ten days, we were relieved by a
division of the Sixth Corps, and marched
backed to the neighborhood of Culpeper
Court House. Lee was soon discovered to
be moving on the flank of the army, and on
the 13th of October we began the retro-
grade march to Bull Ran and Centreville.
On the morning of the 14th the enemy
struck us at Auburn Mills, or, as the hoys
prefer to call it, ‘Coffee Hill,” and on the
afternoon of the same day at Bristce. It
was a race to Bull Run, and the army of
the Potomac won. Forward again, and we
were soon beyond the Rappahannock, mak-
ing the fifth time that we crossed and re-
crossed that stream thus far in this cam-
paign. On the 26th of November we start-
ed across the Rapidaz to Mine Run.
Nothing came of the movement, and the
morning of the 1st of December found us
back on the Culpeper side of the river. In
these manceuvres no general engagement
took place, but our marches and counter-
marches by day and night were still at-
tended with great toil and many hardships.
On the 7th we wentinto winter quarters
near Stevensburg. Here we remained,
with the exception of a day or two spent at
Morton’s Ford, on the Rapidan, where we
made a demonstration in aid of a cavalry
raid, until May, 1864. We were in com-
fortable cantonments, and the winter pass-
ed pleasantly enough for soldiers. The
regiment received an addition to its strength
of two hundred and eighty three drafted
men and substitutes in fall of 1863. These,
with men returned from the hospitals, gave
us a regiment once more strong in num-
bers.
‘‘May 3, 1864, we broke camp and enter-
ed upon that series of fierce and bloody
struggles which marked the way from the
Rapidan to the James. We crossed the
river at Ely’s Ford on the morning of the
4th, and at noon of that day were at Chan-
cellorsville, the scene of our first fight just
one year before, where we bivounacked on
the old battle field. On the morning of
the 5th we moved a few miles to the right,
and took position on the left of the line of
battle in what is historic as the battle of
the Wilderness. In this grapple of giants
we were fortunate enough to suffer no great
loss. The 5th, 6th, and 7th passed, and
we then followed in the flank movements
to Spottsylvania, our corps keeping position
along the Brock road until everything had
passed. We spent one day at Todd’s Tav-
ern, and reached the Po River on the 9th.
In the action of the 10th the regiment was
roughly handled, and met with severe
losses in killed, wounded, and missing, the
aggregate being about two hundred. On
the 12th, in the famousand brilliant charge
of the Second Corps, the regiment was
prominent and distinguished. The action
began at early dawn, continued through-
out most of the day, and cost us another
large list of killed and wounded. Among
the killed of the One Hundred and Forty-
eighth in these operations were Capt.
Thomas Core, of Company K. Lieut. John
A. McGuire. of Company I, and Lieut.
James B. Cook, of Company H.
“From the lines around Spottsylvania
another flank monement was begun on the
night of the 20th of May, and on the 23rd
we reached the north bank of the North
Anna River, only to find the enemy in posi-
tion on the opposite side. On the 24th the
Second Corps crossed over and took up a
position for assault. No general attack
was made, however, and during the night
of the 26th we withdrew. The movement
back commenced at dark, but the skirmish-
ers were not withdrawn until day began to
dawn on the morning of 276th. They were
closely followed, and some of the One
Hundred and Forty-eighth made a narrow
escape from capture. The turning move-
ment was continued to the left, and after
crossing the Pamunkey River near Hanov-
ertown, the enemy was again encountered
in position at Cold Harbor, in front of the
Chickahominy. 71his was on the 3d of
June. An assault was gallantly made, but
in the end it was not successful. Here
Lieut. Jacob8S. Lander, of Company C, was
killed. The lines remained for some days
in close contact, and preparations were
made for siege operations, but they were
soon abandoned. It was then determined
to move south of the James River, and
Petersburg was reached on the 16th of
June. In the operations around Peters-
burg the regiment was constantly engaged.
It took part in actions of the 16th, 18th
and 22d, experienced hard fighting, and
met with very serious losses. On the 22d
the flank of the division was turned and a
considerable number of officers and men of
the regiment were taken prisoners. Capt.
Jacob B. Edmonds, of Company C, was
killed, and Lient. Wesley W. Bierly, of
Company A, was mortally wounded. Lieut.
Bierly fell into the hands of the enemy and
died in Petersburg. The reginient was alse
engaged at Deep Bottom, July 28th, at
Strawberry Plains, August 14th, and at
Ream’s Station, August 25th. In the last
action Lieut. David G. Ralston, another
officer of Company C, was killed.
‘Upon the return of the regiment to the
front at Petersburg, it was next for some
time on duty at Fort Haskell and Stead-
man and Battery No. 10, and in the early
part of October changed its arms for the
Spencer repeating rifles. On the night of
the 27th of October a detail of one hundred
men of the One Hundred and Forty-eighth
made an assault upon a fort in the enemy’s
line, and carried it, capturing part of a Vir-
ginia regiment. The prisoners were sent
to the rear, hut as the assaulting party was
not supported the fort conld not long be
held, and in falling back a considerable
number were killed and wounded. It was
a brilliant feat of arms, and added to the
reputation of the regiment, but it may be
considered doubtful whetber the gain com-
pensated for the loss. Following this, the
regiment did garrison duty in Forts Samp-
son, Gregg and Cummings.
‘We now come to the final campaign in
the spring of 1865, which resulted in the
fall of Petersharg and the surrender of the
Army of Northern Virginia at Appomatox.
‘We find the One Hundred and Forty-eighth
at Hatcher’s Ran, Marek 25th, where Lieut.
Jeremizh A. Sankey, of Company F. was
killed, and at Adams Farm, near Five
