Alderman Peter Kobling Asks for a Re
election, Although lie Has Two
V cars Yet to Serve.
Although Peter Robllng. sr., the present
incumbent, has been nominated for alder
man by the Democrats of the Kleventh
ward, and Fred Schumann has been simi
larly honored by his Republican fellow
men, the fact Is thut the term of uldurman
does not expire until ISMS, two years hence.
The responsibility for nominating candi
dates for this office ut this time Is charged
up against Mr. Kobling.
lie caused the Impression to go out, Mr.
Schumann's friends ullege, that his term
was ubout to expire to sound his chalices
for re-election, und In this way the nomi
nations were made. Leopold Schlmpn, now
deceased, wus elected uldermun of the
wurd In 187!), but he refused to serve, and
the governor appointed Theodore Hesslii
ger, now also deceased, to serve until
I M0, when an election wus held and thd
uppolntee was elected fur a term of five
years.
In 1885 llessluger was a candidate for
re-election, but was defeated by K. F.
Moore, who neglected lo take out his com
mission, whereupon Morris wick had
himself elected in ISS-i. Zwlek never touk
out his commission either, and the ward
went along without u qualified ulderman
for two years.
In 18s7 Peter Robllng. knowing the prem
ises, sent his petition to then Governor
Iteuver.i und he was appointed to serve
until 1SSS. Then he wus elected for live
years, und hp wus again elected In 1KH3, so
thut his term does not expire until 1S93.
Mr. Schumann, who was nominated by
the Republicans, has been making an uc
tlve canvass for election and he Is not
pleased with Mr. ltubllng's coup d'etut.
Mrs Maria .Miilherln llcnd.
After a long suffering illness, Mrs. Maria
Miilherln, of Minooka, passed uway to
her final home Tuesday night. Michael,
years old. Is left to survive her. Mrs.
Mulherln's husband was Instantly killed
In the Lehigh Vulley Railroad accident at
Mud Run on (let. 1. 1K88. She had not
been In good health for more than a year
pust und her deuth was not unexepocted.
1'ntil she became 111 she possessed a robust
constitution und wus apparently murk-d
out for long life. Through her kindly
guullties of mind and heart she had made
a host of friends. The funeral will be held
this morning nt o'clock. High mass of
requiem will be celebrated nt St. Joseph's
church, and Interment will be made In

(lied Nearly Two Years. .
DECREE OP JUDGE ARCHBALD
It Was Handed Itowa inCoart Yesterday.
Itorough of Olyphant Will Have
to Pa; the Large
Uill of Costs.
Judgc Archhald handed down a decis
ion yesterday in the councllinanlc con
test of the Third ward of Olyphant
boroufrh, which gives the office? to Kd
wurd J. Hurke. the one who was de
feated on the fnce of the returns and
dispossesses James J. Flynn, who bus
served for two years. The election
was held on FVbruury -0, ISSM.
The court orders that the borough of
Olyphant pay the costs of the pro
ceedings. Hurke was returned us hav
ing received alxty-three votes, unci
Flynn. sixty-five; but on n recount nf
the balluls each wus found to huve re
ceived slxty-slx.
The evidence brought out nt the con
test showed thut twenty-nine ballots
were cast by ersons who were not
qualified to vote by reason of the non
payment of taxes, non-reRistry, alien
age, or some other disqualifying: cause.
Of these Illegal votes, eleven were
found to have been cust for Hurke und
thirteen for Flynn: live votes were
blank or defective. This left the total
number of leiral votes cast for Burke
to be llfty-flve and for James J. Flynn
fifty-three.
lie Wan Not Naturalised..
One of those who were found to have
voted Illegally wus Anthony McIIale.
He was; disqualified on account of being
an alien, who votfd thirty-seventh on
the list. When the ballots turned up.
no No. ,1" could be discovered. There
were two No. Hb; it was evident thut
one of these was the missing 117.
Under the circumstances the two
voters, Thomas Sheridan, who voted
36. and Anthony Millale, whose bal
lot was the missing 37 evidently, were
called into court to testify how they
voted. I 'pun their examination In open
court, Sherldun said he voted for Hurke
and McHale said' he cast hb( ballot for
Flynn. This latter vote being cast by
an illegal voter it wan rejected.
Hurke will take his seat at the next
meeting of the Olyphant council and
will serve one yeur, when the term ex
pires. Judge Arch bald In passing upon
the ballots found four marked for Hurke
by a single stroke instead of a cross;
he held that these votes should not be
thrown out becuuse the purpose of the
voter was shown and Indicated for
whom the votes were Intended.

Street Commissioner Kinsley yester
day caused the arrest of W. A. Kellum,
driver of a baggage wagon, for block
ading the entrance to the plaza nt the
Delaware, Lackawanna ' nd Western
station. Aldrrmun Millar lined him $5
and costs.
The Delaware, Lackawnnna and
Western company has frequently com
plained of late of the practice of these
bagguge men, who line up their wugons
two deep along Lackawnnna avenue,
preventing al Ingress and egress to and
from the station. 'All that wus asked
of them wus that they would leave a
certain spuee open, but they disregard
ed the company's request and after
wards the street commissioner's
threats. Mr. Kinsley has concluded to
enforce his deniunds und yesterday's
action was only the first step in that
direction. Other steps will be taken,
he says, If the baggagemen make It
necessary.
Kellum, when arrested, wus occupy
ing the identical space which the street
commissioner lias ordered to he kept
open.
