MANY DEFECTIVE AFFIDAVITS
Slight Changes in Vote for City Assessor

O'Neill Elected Major of Car-bondate-VYfns
by 14 Votea.
One thlnir developed at the ofllrlal
rniihtint; of the votes of Tuesday's elec
tion in this city, and that was that all
affidavits made by men who voted are
glaringly ilt-V-ti and there are 8i
others iiiiestionable. The bad ones
were either not signed by tin voter or
else it was not staled when he was as
sessed. Mayor-elect James fi. Halley's plu
rality over Colonel 12. II. l!iple is 1W
votes, and Treasurer-elect !. T'.o
lands is l.r.t4 over ltaub-1 Williams.
This i.-i from the official count made yes
terday and last evening by the court.
The fiiotlinis lor the otflce nf city con
troller and assessor have not been made
by the clerks und n il! tint he mil II this
morning, but the plurality of Edmund
I. Itobinson over K. ,. Wiilmuyrr will
not vary much from the tlgurr s given in
yesterday's Tribune.
In computing the returns the court
found that there was a litil.- disparity
betweit the figures on the open returns
and those ol the sealed returns tot-Candidates
Fowler. Fickus and Ha tile. The
vote for Fickus was Increased slightly,
and Battle's was diminished. Mere und
there Fowler lost and saiiwd a vote,
but at the end he was nliout where the
open returns credited him with -beiiiK.

Lists Made of the Affidavits.
These attorneys were busy during the
count making a close Inspection of tin
tally lists, return sheets and affidavits
after tin- court passed upon the papers
Knell ride look a recoril of the name of
eac h voter compelled to make affidavit
lo establish his rlahi to vote. and. us
stated In the beginning of this story, it
was found that nearly lino of thenrwere
bad. This Is fruitful KiMiinrf for a con
test; It makes no difference whether the
bad atlldavlt was the result of the ignor
ance of election officers who made them
out. the law prescribes that no matter
whether the voter possesses the right
to Vote or not, the atlldavlt. If it be de
fective, is the thing to uct on, and It
cannot be amended by any subseiiuent
action.
For instance, if a man rocs to the
poll to vote and is not registered, he
must swear in his vote. If he ts chal
lenged for taxes he must produce his
receipt or In the atlldavlt state when he
paid his taxes and when he wns as
sessed for the said taxes. lie may have
paid his taxes all right, but if the atll
davlt, from either the neglect or Ignor
ance of the election ollicer who made it
out. does not specify when the taxes
were paid and when the assessment
they were levied on was inadf. still his
Vote will be thrown out In u contest.
Watching Proa less of the Count.
Attorney C. C. Donovan watched the
count in the interest of his cllcirt,
Charles S. Fowler, and Attorney M, ,!.
Ponuhne kepi n lookout for the Inter
ests of John I'!. O'Malley, defeated can
didate for iililerman In the Twentieth
ward. While the count wuh going on
a number of prominent liemocrats
dropped in anil stayed awhile. Messrs.
Buland und Itobinson sat In the jury
box for an hour and had u conversa
tion with Chairman (leorge ft. Horn.
As the count was progressing It wns
discovered in the papers sent In from
the Second district of the Second ward
that Colonel Hippie was entitled to one
more vote than was recorded for him.
The F.ighteenth ward count showed
there was credit given on the return
sheet for one vote less than the tully
list ligured out. Mr. liaib y gained one
vote in the Second district of the Fif
teenth ward through a similar Inad
vertent error of the election clerk.
Mr. Halley's total vote In the city Is
7.SH5: Colonel Hippie's Is 7.t: .1. W.
(uernsey's. 170. The vote for treasurer
was Buland. S.lti:!; Williams, fi.T,7!i;

It c ion nt Was Asked for.
Just before the Twenty-llrst ward's
vote was about to be counted, .Mr.
Turrey stepped before the court and
usketl to have a recount made in one
district of tbe ward, lie n-iul an atll
davlt subscribed by F. W. I'.e-rge, who
was Independent candidate for select
council, setting forth that he verily be
lieved that the count was fraudulent
on l he ground that one of tin- election
otllcers when the count was made came
out on the porch and announced that
John .1. McAudrew's vote in the district
was Ins votes and when the statement
wuh hung out It gave McAtulrew IIS
votes. .Mi-Andrew led Herge by a small
majority.- Judge A nil bald said that
this was not enough to warrant a re
count; at any rate If MeAniliftt's vote
were los Instead of 1 IS he would still
be'ahead of Merge and n recount on the
strctintli of this npiieal would not
change matters.
The vote in Scranton and that In Car
hoiidale are all that the court deals with
In spring elections. The returns from
townships and boroughs arc counted by
the- clerk of the courts.

The official vote ofr'nrbondale showed
that James J. O'Neill received 1.4:t4

a careful eye. and In the Thlril district
of the First ward they disi i i rid that

less than he was entitled to. They
found also that S4 defective affidavits
were made. Mr. Thomas was not pre

a contest would be lr.s-.li i;id. Attor

THE MOSEY IS XOT IX SIGHT
Owing to Ilia City's l inancial Stringency
Two lira Department Ordinances
Were Indefinitely I'tmtpoucd-Hc-linquent
Tax Collectors' llonds.
The city'g financial stringency made
Itself felt in the meeting of select coun
cil lust night. Owing, as Air. Chitten
ien out II, to the city's Inability to
raise sufficient money for Its present
needs, the ordinance Increasing from
tun to StiO per month the pay of perma
lient firemen who have been In the ser
vice two years, and the ordinance for
u permanent man for the Nlagura
Hose company were Indefinitely Mst
poned. In movlns to kill the llrst mentioned
measure Mr. Chittenden said that no
one was more sorry than he to be com
pelled to muke such u motion bul no
it her course was left open. The city's
finances are in such shupe that Insteud
nf making Increases some very deep
t utting will have to be done. Colonel
Sanderson, In explaining his vote, also
expressed regret that the firemen could
not be better taken care of. but he was
firmly convinced that It was impossible
to make any increases in the city's ex
penditures Just now. . He hud, he
mated, spent two days trying to ligure
out an appropriation ordinance but
fulled to make ends meet and did not
hesltute to suy that he did not see how
It was possible for the estimates com
mittee to provide for the city's needs
with the revenue which the controller
estimates to be available.
Vote on the Measure.
Notwithstanding all this. Messrs.
Finn and Dttrr wanted to grant the
Increase and on an aye anil nay vote It
was found there were six others who
felt as they did. The vote was:
Ayes llos. Kelly, Thomas, Hoclie,
Chittenden, Manley. Sanderson, Schi-ov-iler.

An ordinance repealing the ordinance
providing for the construction of the
Seventeenth district sewer was passed

to prevent the collection of the dain

prrade on Klghteenth ward streets also
passed third and final reading.
Frank Shifter's claim of J402.5O for
extra supplies and labor on the Thir
teenth district sewer was approved for
$210 on the recommendation of City
Solicitor Torrey and City engineer
Phillips, who wei consulted In the

AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.
Teople who lose flesh are In danger of
consumption. In many cases loss ut
flesh Is the first symptom of the dread
disease.
Light weight is too often a sign of
some wasting disease which gets Its
tlrst start from Indigestion. Cure the
Indigestion and health, strength and
flesh will be rapidly regained.
All physicians are agreed that the
most important thing to he done in
such cases Is to Improve the appetite
and digestion; and if this cannot be
done there ia very little hope, for
strength, flesh, pure blond and strong
nerves can only come from plenty of
wholesome final well digested.
This is the reason so muny physicians
recommend Stuart's Dysoepsla Tab
lets, because of their wonderful invig
orating and nutritive properties. For
loss of vigor, headaches, constipation,
sour risings and other symptoms of
dyspepsia they constitute the safest,
most natural cure. And there Is a good
leason for their success. They are
composed of the natural digestive acids
ami fruit essences which every weak
stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets rapidly
Increase the weight, the hectic Mush
soon leaves the consumptive's cheek,
the skin assumes the hue of health,
night sweats cease, the cough dies
away and tbe emaciation Is lost under
a cnatini; of warm, normal Mesh
Taken after meals these Tablets di
gest nil wholesome food euten. Increas
ing the npnetite, enriching the blood
and soon remove those miserable fil
ings which only the dyspeptics can ap
preciate. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are sold by druggists nt ."ill eents ful
fill! sized package. A book on stomach
diseases and thousands of testimonials
