FIRST DISTRICT 11 LGE
Msjoritj of Delegates Elected Are
Sapporters of Judge Millard.
SOME VERY LIVELY FIGHTING
ladalgcd In ia Nearly All of tha Polling
Divisions of the District-Phillips
aad Athsrtoa Will Be Eleetsd
State Delegates Today.
The third telling victory for the Wil
lard element In the Lackawanna county
Republican primaries was scored yes
terday In the First legislative district.
A complete compiling of all the re
turns shown, that Si Hastings and 19
Quay delegates were chosen for today's
district convention, ahk-h will elect two
delegates to the state convention.
The Willard candidates for state con
ventlon delegates are R B. Atherton
and Thomas W. Phillips. The Quay
candidates are William Penn Morgan
and Wade M. Finn.
Yesterday's primaries decide postlve
ly that at least six of the seven state
delegates from Lackawanna county
will go for the purpose of urging the
nomination of Judgo E. N. Willard for
the superior court. The seventh dele
gate will be chosen in the Third legis
lative district, for which the call for
the convention has not been Issued.
North tad and Wost SI Jo.
Practically, thpre were two geo
graphical divisions of ye9terday' First
district primaries; one was In the North
End. when 19 delegates were chosen,
and the other was In the West Side
wards, which returned M delegates.
The former had been considered a Quay
strong-hold, but It was expected that
the West Side would more than count
erbalance a Quay majority In the North
End. This expectation was more than
realized, as a division of the two sec
tions shows the foUowlng result:
West Side. North End,
Willard K 9
Quay 9 10
$1
19
The majority of only one delegate for
Quay In the North End was tast night
considered a signal victory by Judge
Willard's supporters.
Throughout the district the. vote was
heavy, but between the polling hours
of 4 and 7 o'clock there was no dlS'
order, and only the excitement which
might be expected to accompany a hard
fought polling battle.
It Is a pecutiar fact that In the West
Side wards the success of the Willard
delegates Is due to the earnest work of
the young voters, and the independent
faction who had arrayed against them.
D. M. Jones, John H. Powell. George
C. Jones. John Loverlng and many
other Influential Republican leaders.
However, a study of the returns by
districts shows that many of the voting
districts of the Quay teaders went safe
ly In Judge Willard's Interest. An Illus
tration Is the Second district of the
Fifteenth ward, the John H. Fellows
district, which returns two Willard del
egates.
While the returns were being received
last night, the fact tha the North End
selected 9 Willard delegates out of 19
caused many favorable comments. In
stead of the scanty majority of one
delegate It was anticipated 'that the
Quay forces would be victorious by a
ratio of 3 to 2.

HAVE REACHED AIT. GRETNA.
Thirteenth's Advance Guard Is Laying
Out the City of Teats.
Special to the Bcranton Tribune.
Lebanon, July 18. The advance
guard, consisting of nlnty-nlno men.
under command of Major Barnard, ar
rived at Mount Qretna at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. The Eighth and Fourth
regiments have already arrived but the
preparations for an encampment were
not noticeable.
The regiment Is located In about the
some spot as that occupied four years
ago. There is great hustling among the
advance guard, locating the streets and
preparing for the regiment.
Angry words ore exchanged when,
after locating the company streets and
erecting the tents, the advance detail
are obliged to move because they are
a few feet over the line.
The health of every member of the
advance guard Is first rate, and the
services of Dr. Parke have not been re
quired.
Major Montrose Barnard. In charge
of the advance detail that will prepare
for tho coming of the regiment, left yes
terday morning. Captain Chase and
Surgeon Parke went also. The advance
contingent consists of Ave from each
company.
The regiment starts for Mount Gretna
this evening at 9 o'clock from the Dela
ware and Hudson station to Wilkes
Barre, from there over the Lehigh Val
ley railroad to encampment.
The soldiers wilt assemble at the
armory early In the evening, complete
all arrangements, and be ready to move
at the 'Word of command from Colonel
H. A. Coursen. They will remain away
until Saturday, the 27th, then breaking
camp. '
As usual there will be a large assent
blage to cheer them off.
tuosemTleagebooks,
D L a W. Company Will Again lOffer
Them for Sale,
It was learned yesterday from official
authority that the Delaware Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad company
will within a few weeks again have
mileage books on sale.
New and radical changes In their
use. however, will be Instituted. Ac
cording to the new rules the mileage
book will be of use to only the one
presenting It. The holder will not pre
sent It to the conductor as heretofore,
but to the station agent at the starting
point, which official will take out the
adequate number of miles and Issue a
regular ticket covering the distance. The
mileage will virtually be used as cash
This system will. It is thought, do
away wun many if not all of the abuses
to which the mileage book system has
been subject heretofore, and which
caused their withdrawal from sale.
This news will be gladly hailed by the
merchants, drummers and others who
formerly derived much pecuniary bene
fit from their use. These books were
an Immense saving to large houses, and
the howl which followed their stoDnace
and which has continued ever since has
caused the company to foend all its
energy towards reaching a solution of
the difficulty by which the patrons
might be accommodated and the com
pany protected. This plan which has
been hit upon by General Manager
Hallstead, promises to successfully
meet the requirements. At all events
It will be given a trial as soon as the
necessary preliminaries can be ar
ranged. MRS. BODEKKirS RIGHTS.
They Are to Be the Subject of Interesting
Litigation.
By an aicMon brought In court yester
day the rights of a husband to the
eanrlngn of his wife and vice versa wilt
be determined, as ft la the flreit case
brought In this county under the act
of 1893, George B. Rodeker and Jiln

the necessity of sewing for a living.
So much gflift came to the mill, that by
her industry a Utitle neat egg of $398.69
was eaved up, which she deposited in
the Dime DcWft and Discount bank In
her own name. ' ,
Rodoker and Mrs. R, had falling

He left the ta.nk am afterwards went
before Alderman. JJIaJr, of the Fifth
ward, and sued he bank, The Justice
gave Judgment In hi favor, buH the
bank appealed the case to court.
Yesterday Attorney C, Oomegyn, rep-
resenting the bank, filed In he pro

for Interpleader, thaft the husband and
wife fight the matter out between them
selves in the courts. The bank feels
that It han no buslnew to be drawn
into 'the ojse at an. The rule was
granted and made returnable on Aug.

The act of 1893 extends tti rights of
the wife to her own earnings, and this

mittee of the iwlhole laat nlgiht for the
purpose of amecd'lng .the board of pub
lic works ordinance and when they
were through amending and adding to
RMr. Ohfttenden, its fulttver, was so dls-
gu&ed wllih the misshapen offepring, of
nia brain mat lie movea to postpone in
di'ltnltety further consideration of It
rather than have the ally put to the
evpenso of iprJutlng 1
'Mr. Coyne amended It so that the
board. Instead of being constituted of
the city engineer, building Inspector,
street cummis-'iloner and two imemberi
of councils, with (the mayor as an ex-
officio member should tiaive four mem.
bera of oounvUls and leave tout the
mayor and building lnpipeotor. In bat-
tHr.tf this amendment Mr. Chittenden,
its framer, said ihe admitted it was not
what it should be. The board ought to
be composed of tihree citizens who
should receive $2,000 or $3,000 a year as
a salary. As 'the city has no'ntoney for
such a purpose at present, ho made the
ordinance provide for a board composed
of city olllclulH already under salary.
"If we hud had a board of this kind,1
said Mr. Oltittanden, "we would not
have built a $150,000 bridge (that leads
no where bit to the, brewery."
Miitllutlns the Measure.
Mr. Mnnley favored the amendment
giving as his reason that the mayor, If
..... .va.-i a memlwr of the board, would
virtually control fihree votes, his own
and 'those of his appointees, the street
comnvlfiloner And olty engineer.
Mr. OtiiJ.'tomlen said that the mayor
wa of the oinnlon that the ordinance
took power away from him.
Tho worst mutilation the ordinance
received was at the ha.nds of Mr. Wag.
ner. 'He had no less Khan six different
changes to make, and they were all
agreed to by a majoiij y of countolls. It
was when Mr. Roche wanted to add a
eeotlon making exiaimlnatlons for fore
men, pubflo and competitive, that Mr.
OhHtenden arose In his might and
imote his own child.
He said that the amendments defeat
ed 'the objects of the measure and he
would vote agailnst It himself. IMr.
Chittenden Intended in the ordinance
that the tvireet commissioner should ap
point the four district foremen, but the
tinkers, by an amendment, .put this
power In the handu of the board. Inas
much as tilie whole object of the ordln
ar.ee was to make the heads of depart
ments, and the street commissioner In
particular, responsible for work done
by employes of his department, this
amendment made the ordinance of no
value In this retpecit.
Conmy's Claim for Damages.
. John Conmy's claitm of $2,000 against
the erty for damages (Sustained in the
opening of Robinson street and which
has been before councils for over five
years, was finally disposed of as Jar as
the council is concerned, Conmy waa

he was ,io have, In addition to his other

Hon. Mr. Conmy ibeMeved, and does
yet, as his suit in court evidences, that

tlon, Inasmuch as Mr. Hazlett was re
imbursed by the city for his bulldln.
'Mr. IlaaleOo contended that he had
been paid damages only for his land.
and that the building was his If he
would sjiove It from the line of the
e.tieet. In this ihe was substantiated
by the opinions of cx-Cfty Solicitor
Burns and Cfl:y aottartor Torrey.
The Judiciary committee, to which the
matter was referred, brought in a re
port substantially as follows:
"I view of the foot that ex-City Solic
itor Burns has twice rendered opinions
that the city 1s under no legal liability,
and City Solicitor Torrey hi of the Baime
opinion, your committee must report
adversely on the olatm."
To this was appended a suggestion
from tho dty solicitor that It would be
advisable, merely ea a mattor of ex
pediency, to allow Conmy $500. This
the comml'btee did not favor.
It was tihe sense of the committee and
the council that wtn" Mr. Conmy had
misapprehended the Intent of the or
dinance, tho My could not act on sen
timent, and If he 'has any claims which
the city Is bound to rcepeot the courts
will so decide.
Fsvor Horns Contraotors.
Although Hart & Gibbons, of Wllke.
Barre, oftered' to take the contract for
constructing the approaches to tho
Roaring Brook bridge for $13,400, the
ctreeta and bridges committee recom
mended that the Job be given to Peter
BMpp, of this olty, whose bid was $13,
450. The council evidently also be
lieved In patronizing home industry,
for they agreed In the recommendation.
Mayor Connell communikmted the fact
that he had appealed from the award
of viewers who raw $250 to Mrs. Sophia
Williams, of Oxford Street. Mrs. Will
iams, he sHated, was willing to accept
$175, end ho Tcommndcd that she be
awarded that amount.
City Treasurer Brooks reported that
$18,074.27 had been collected by delin
quent tax collectors between April 1
and June 10, 1895.
Tired Running After Beetem.
Mr. Lauer complained of tho Trac
tion company's failure to properly grade
North iMaln avenue In accordance with
the provisions of the franchise giving
them, or rather their predecessors, the
Valley Passenger company, power to
lay tracks thereon, He said Ihe was
tired running around after Beetem to
make him keep his repeated promises,
andlntroducedaresnlutkin directing the
mayor to enforce this provision of the
franchise. The resolution was adopted.
At Mil. Sanderson's suggestion the
chief engineer of the fire department
was empowered to loan to the Columbus
ColHery company on Washington ave
nue hose for the purpose of fighting the
fine which Is raging In the culm dump
there, Mr. Sanderson also introduced
an ordinance for lateral newers on Penn
avenue, between the northerly line of
the district to the main sewer and on
New York street between Wyoming

ing by parties mode up on a moment's
notice.
One amusing feature of the day waa
to see many of our most prominent cit
izens dealing out cake and lemonade
and other eatables and drinkables while
tha pat rone stood around and ordered
them to hurry up or poked fun at tlhelr
awkward movements In cui'.tlng a cake
or pouring coffee or something else of
that sort.
But by far the most aimuolg event of
the day was the game of baseball be
tween the teams captained and chosen
respectively by Fred Wormser and Ed
mund Bartl. Two innings wore played,
amd the result was a victory for the
Wormser men by a score of 17 to 2. The
Bartl men made two runs In their half
of tho first inning, and the Wormser
men came in and scored fourteen. In
tihe next Inning the Bartls follod to
score, and the Wcrmsers made three.
Before they were retired, however, the
only bait waa broken and the game had
to be discontinued after an hour and
fcrty-flve minutes of play. The tabu
lated score is as follows:
