FAIR WEATHER
AND A BIG VOTE
Tbcy Were the leading Features of
Yesterday'! Votlni Hereabouts.
NO DISTURBANCES WERE REPORTED
la All Paris of the County Crowds of
Earnest Workers Surrounded the
Polling Places and Cheered and
talked and Worked for Their Can
didatesVote Cast Was Exceed
ingly Large in Every District.
"Never saw a finer election day," was
heard on all sides yesterday and truly
It was an Ideal day.
No chilling winds, no rain, but on the
contrary a bright sky and a warm
sun that lilted Republicans and Popo
crats alike with good cheer and gave
their spirits that exhubcrtmce bo" es
sential to the successful patty workers.
The weather was altogether too fine
to suit many of the Popocrats. lh-y
took it as a bad omen.
"We always vote better In bad
weather," said Colonel FlUsimmons as
he talked over the situation with sev
eral friends. "You know the Democrats
are not afraid to come out and vote
no matter what kind of weather the
Lord provides and this tact has con
tributed to win several notable victor
ies for us. I'd feel better if It was
rough and bluatry or even wet today
and I think we would have a better
showing to make tonight."
This opinion was generally shared
by Popocrats.
The weather had something to do
with the large vote, for it was large,
probably the largest that Lackawanna
county has ever recorded. During the
day a. number of requests came to the
county commlaioners for extra ballot
boxes, those sent out being insufficient
to hold all of the ballots cast In some
district.
Many of the mines and workshops of
the city were closed down anil of course
the banks, postofflce and public unices
respected the legal holiday. The sa
loon kept their front doors closed and
blinds drawn but some of them did a
very active side door business.
The legislative tights In the four dis
trict of the county were conducted
with great dash and vigor. In the
First district John R. Farr lost ome
Republican votes In the North End and
A. T. Connell lost some on the South
Side and In the central city wards.
John F. Reynolds put up a gallant
battle against St. F. Fadden In the
Fourth district and the same was true
of Dr. N. C. Mackey, the Republican
candidate in the Third district. Through
activity opposed by some of the Re
publicans of the district the Republican
voters refused to follow the dissatisfied
ones In any considerable numbers.
If the weather was a fac tor in bring
ing out the large vote It was not the only
one. The great interest taken In the
presidential, congressional, county and
legislative fights had their Inlluencc
In bringing out the voters. So anxious
were the people of the Thirteenth ward
to cast their ballots that at 6.30 about
every vote that the ward is entitled to
was safely stowed away in the ballot
boxes.
At every polling place red-hot McKIn
ley and Bryan men sang the praises of
their favorite candidates and In some
instances the arguments between the
partisans were very healed. It is com
plimentary to the manner in which the
disputants controlled their tempers,
that no disturbances of any consequence
were reported. .
IN THE CENTRAL CITY..
In the central city wards, the Inci
dents and scenes were as commonplace
as might have been, expected at the
usual local election, although it was
known early In the day that the heaviest
vote In the history of the city was be
ing polled, excepting In the Pine Rrook
and Eight ward district, containing a
large population of laboring men, many
of whom did not vote until after 6
o'clock. I nthe Ninth and Seventeenth
wards, the number of votes polled early
In the day was phenomenal, and In the
Sixteenth the vote was almost as pro
portionately heavy. In some districts
at 3 o'clock the total number of ballots
cast equalled the total Seranton-Merrl-fleld
vote In those districts In ISM, which
was the largest ever recorded in Lacka
wanna county.
It was noticed that the voting was
conducted with less confusion and con
sequently with more rapidity than at
any electelon since the adoption of the
new ballot law. This was considered
somewhat strange on account of the
large size of the ballot and Its compli
cations, but was explained by the fact
that the X in the circle was being used
more generally than usual and that the
workings of the new ay-stem were bet
ter understood than formerly.
The only particular election board ex
citement, in the Eighth ward, the busi
ness center, which always has its
troubles if trouble is rife, was In the
First district polling place at Raub's
undertaking establishment. - Dr. John
O'Malley, Democrat, Judge of elections,
could not serve and presented as his
substitute John Welsh. The change
was acceptable to both the Democratic
and Republican officers of the board,
but the physician, after installing his
substitute. Insisted on remaining in the
polling place and discussing the work
of the board. It required ten or fifteen
minute of wrangling to convince the
doctor tut his place was outside. He
was angered by the controversy.
The Incident was trivial, but wag a
sample of several equally as important
misunderstandings that took place in
the business center. .
In 1894 the Second district of the Sev
enteenth ward polled a total of 3SS votes
for Scranton and Merrifleld. This total
was passed at 2.30 o'clock yesterday.
In the Third district of the Ninth ward
100 vote were cast within an hour and
a half after the polls opened. At noon
in the Second district of the Ninth 200
votes had been cast a against a total
of 258 in 184.
The large voting was equally as ap
parent In the Sixteenth. In the Second
district, one of the heaviest in the city
and which usually polls about 300 a
many a 260 ballot had been cast at 1
o'clock.
ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
From the opening of the poll until
they closed last night at 7 o'clock large
crowds gathered at the various voting
places on the South Side, and all day
long kept up a discussion of the Issues
upon which the battle wan being
waged. There were Bryan men at each
election district, and they made their
presence known to all. The oratorical
fever has spread from the "Boy Orat
or" to hi followers, and many of the
South Side admirer of the Nebraska
candidate made Impromptu addresses
at the polling place yesterday. In
which the orator' Ideas about the sil
ver question were more or less lucidly
net forth.
At the poll were many enthusiastic
admirers of McKlnley and the other
candidate who did gallant work for
them. There was a strong feeling
among Democrats as well Republi
cans In favor of the candidacy of
William Cbnnell for congress, Indicat
ing that he would get a handsome vote
in that part of the city, with the growth
and development of which his name is
o Inseparably connected.
Hon. A. T. Connell was the cause of
fiercer fighting than any other candi
date whose name appeared on the offi
cial ballot. He had acorea of warm,
earnest supporter , who were using
every effort to secure hi election, but
on the other hand, he was oposed In an
equally enthusiastic way by a number
of workers, with the result that the
voter were argued to in a most earnest
way and' brought to vote for Connell
that is. If the worker favored him
If not, then the voter was urged by all
he held sacred to vote for Koehler. The
Twelfth ward, which i usually rock
ribbed in it Democracy; bad' a large
number of enthusiastic shouter for
Hon. A. .T. Connell.
John Demuth, one of the Democratic
candidates, for commissioner, resides
in the Eleventh ward, and was much
in evidence about the polls of that ward
during the day. When aeen by a
Tribune reporter during the afternoon
he said that his neighbors were giving
him a handsome vote.
The South and Southwest districts
of Lackawanna township as usual fur
nished their quota of excitement. Many
Dernoci ats' were at Work urgliWK tlilr
brethren to cut W. J. Umk-, one of the
Democratic candidates for county com
missioner. They had a score tq settle'
with the ex-income tax callector, anil
they were doing their utmost to eettle
It. As on the South Ride, there was a
strong feeling for William Connell, and
his candidacy had many warm sup
porters among Democrat and Repub
licans. While the vote on the South Side and
in Minooka was not as large during the
early part of the day as In other parts
of the city, it was heavy during the
afternoon, and as the time for closing
the polls arrived the election boards in
some districts wore unable to take with
sufficient rapidity the votes of the
crowds that came at the Eleventh hour
to exercise their right of suffrage.
NORTH END OP THE CITY.
In the Seventh ward Bryan received
a fcood vote and so dtd William Con
nell and Hon. A. T. Connell. Many life
long Democrat split their ticket to
the extent of voting for these two Re
publican candidates. The voting was
not as lively as. In many other parts of
the city until late in the afternoon, but
then the number of vote rolled up
rapidly and when the polls closed the
Seventh had established a new voting
record.
Out in the Thirteenth ward the vot
ing began early In the day and was
kept up without cessation until 7
o'clock In the evening. At 6.30 the
election officers reported that the en
tire vote of the ward wa then polled.
There was little excitement but plen
ty of earnest work In the First, Second
and Third wards. A munber of Farr's
opponents were hard at work all day
endeavoring to Induce Republican to
vote for La Rarr. In ome case they
were successful.
The fact that the mine were shut
down and the weather wa a dream
caused much the same condition to
exist in the West Side as In the "hill"
districts of the Central City. At 8
o'clock there were 260 ballots polled In
the first district of the Fourth ward,
where the total vote in the 1894 cam
paign was 309, and in the spring elec
tion 381. In the fourth district of the
Fifth ward, where the total vote In the
last presidential election wa 223, there
had been polled at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon 237 votes. The vote In this
district In 1894 was S10. The board ex
pected that fully 450 votes would be
cast. At 3 o'clock the two districts of
the Fifteenth ward had polled within
129 vote of the total number cast In
the 1894 election, which wa 619 and
within 129 of the spring vote which wa
686.
In the first district of the Fifth, at
the same hour, 226 of the total of 841
voters on the registry Hit had exer
cised the right of suffrage. Thl same
condition existed In every voting place.
Hlg vote and rapid voting wa the re
port from every booth.
The rapid voting would Indicate that
there wa not much cutting done, but
the returns would Indicate the con
trary. There was little or no excitement at
the polls or on the streets, despite the
fact that the miners were all Idle and
that several pay days had occurred. It
seemed as If tho momentous occasion
and the uncertainty of the result caused
each man to hold his breath.
Up in the Petersburg district, there
were over 400 votes polled, the largest
on record. The normal vote there Is
about 200. 1
OUTSIDE OP THE. CITY.
Telephone queries to the principal
towns throughout the county during the
closing hours of the afternoon- brought
the same response: "Tremendous vote
and everything quiet." Dunmore, Tay
lor, Mooslc, Olyphant, Peckvllle, Jer
myn, Lackawanna all reported record
breaking votes. In Dunmore the legis
lative fight wa bitterly waged between
the friends of Reynolds and Fadden, a
that territory was considered neutral
ground, geographically speaking. Tay
lor and Moosic also had an unusual
number of workers at the different
polls, as the Judge people depended al
most entirely on this territory for their
majority and Dr. Mackey's supporters
were dotermined to prevent thorn from
making any great Inroads on the Re
publican vote.
Up among the Ablngtons It was the
greatest election day evor known. The
devotion of votora of the farming dis
trict to Dr. Mackey, coupled with the
knowledgo that he was having a hard
fight, and the additional Incentives of
good weather and fine roads brought
them out in full numbers,
AMUSEMENTS.
Daniel Sully's Impersonating of
O'Brien, the Contractor," which will be
the attract inn at thj&cademy of Music
tonight, brings Into view n beautiful
and tender homeliness and a noble
sincerity, as well as a courageous man
liness, that arouses sympathetic Inter
est and raises tho spectator quite above
mere theatrical convention. There Is
in the character no (also sentiment; lie
speaks no funtlnn and he performs no
superhuman acts, but he interests us
at the moment of his lirst appearance
on the scene and compels us to go with
him through all the vicissitudes of hi
fortune till his final triumph and as
surance of the battle won.
Thomas W. Keene, the eminent tra
gedian, accompanied by and under the
management of Charles B. Hanford,
will appear ut the Academy of Music
Thursday evening In "Richard III."
The union of the professional Interests
of these two tragedians will no doubt
prove niutualy agreeable and profit
able this season. Mr. Keene now stands
foremost as the exponent of tragedy
and other classic dramas on the Ameri
can stage, and ha filled that place
since the death of the lamented Booth
and Barrett. Mr. Hanford ha also
achieved distinction in classic plays
and Mr. Keene is fortunate In having
him at the head of hi support. The
company surrounding these tragedians
is a large and complete organization.
Among Its principal members are Miss
Grace Hopkins, "Mlsa Marie Drofnah,
Miss Mary Tlinberman, Mrs. S. A. Bak
er, Carl Albrenett, Lawrence Lowell,
Bertram Temple, John Milton, Paul
Taylor and Lawrence F. Walker.
On Thursday. Friday and Saturday
next. Wills and Hastings' Roof Gar
den high-class vaudeville company will
be seen at Davis' theater. It Includes
some most excellent people In their sev
eral lines, and should draw crowded
house. The Binghampton papers speak
of the show In flatter Ins terms. A
feature Is Mile. Rlalta, In her "electric

the English and American tight.

SCRANTON PLAYERS
ON THE GRIDIRON
Boys from This City Dolo-r Good Work
witb tbe Pigskin.
TWO GOOD FINDS THIS SEASON
Lathrop I Showing I'p in Ureal Form
at Princeton and tush Is Con
sidered a "I'hcnonn' at Pennsyl
vauiff Ideal Team That Could Be
Organized Here Next YenrTbornc
Is to Take I'p His Residence in
Scranton.
Why foot ball Is not more popular In
this city 1 a matter of wonderment
when one contemplates the large num
ber of good mun that Scranton has con
tributed to the college gridiron. A sea
son never passes but what people of
this region are following the work of
one or more Scranton stars on the big
ger college teams and a host of boys
doing the best playing on the elevens of
the smaller schools.
This year is no exception to the rule.
Qelbert continues his great work at
University of Pennsylvania, the two
Lathrops are showing up in good style
at Princeton and a number of others
are attracting wide attention by their
play with lesser elevens. Raines La
throp Is now first substltuto on the
Princeton team and will undoubtedly be
a regular next year. He has played
with the "varsity eleven In several
games and would have been played In
all of them but for the fact that he Is
ineligible for the big game on account
,of the year's residence rule, and It Is
desirable that those who are to play
In the big games should be put Into the
best practice games.
George Lathrop Is also among the
promising subs and ha played in a
number of games. It would not be sur
prising If he, too, would wear a big
"P." on his sweater next year. "Nick"
Stahl, of Green Ridge, son of Rev. N.
F. Stahl! la another Scranton boy who
eats at the Princeton training table.
Stahl Is a reserve and will next year
try for quarter back. The Prlnceton
ians consider him one of their most
promising youngsters.
CONSIDERED A PHENOM.
Pennsylvania also ha a Scranton
"phenom" on her reserve list. He Is
James Cush, of Pine Brook, who went
down there last month to study den
tistry. Cush learned foot ball at the
Ottawa University and played full back
on that team. He was considered to be
a fine player by the Canuck and to find
out whether or not their estimate of
him was right he determined to go out
In practice with the Pennsylvanlans.
His work Immediately caught the eye
of the coachers and he wa placed In
charge of Brooke, who 1 coaching the
full backs. Brooke considers him a
comer and says that if Cush isn't full
back of next year's 'varsity eleven he Is
no judge of full backs.
Connery, who went up to St. Hona
venture's seminary this fall. Is said to
be tearing opposing lines to shreds in
the game with the York Btate teams.
He Is easily the star player of the
eleven, according to report received
here.
Scranton has also a large number of
ex-players who are engaged in show
ing this year's teams the fine points of
the game. Schoch Is coaching the line
at Cornell. Bliss, who recently adopted
Scranton as his home, Is coaching Yale.
Bull Is coaching Franklin and Marshall
and Klwood and Ott Wagonhurst are
respectively engaged In giving Yankee
points to the North Carolina and Vir
ginia universities.
THORNE IS COMING HERE.
The announcement that "Brlnkcy"
Thorne, Yale' great back, will come
here at the close of the foot ball season
to accept a position with the Pennsyl
vania company in Dunmore, suggests
the possibility of an Ideal team In Scran
ton next year. For instance, a line-up
like this: Thorne, full back; Bliss and
Gelbert, half back; Murphy, quarter
back; Cleveland, center, Schoch and
Conroy, guards; Zang and Cogglns,
tackles; Wagonhurst, Decker, Lathrop,
Owens, Walsh, Lynch or Weber for ends
and substitute backs.
"I would play that team against any
thing in the country," said a well-known
foot ballist when It was suggested to
him n few days ago. If It would be pos
sible to get these backs together and get
them playing the game as they did
when they were winning glory for their
respective alma maters. Schock, Gel
bert and Thorne are still In foot ball
form and It would not take much train
ing to get Miss and Murphy into shape,
as both keep themselves constantly in
athletic trim.
The other players are all on the grid
iron this season t'nd would be ready to
Jump into the game at short notice next
year. Enthusiasts hereabouts are talk
ing up this team for next year and it Is
not altogether Impossible that it may
be a reality.
PLAYED A FURIOUS GAME.
Darkness Prevented a Decision in
Wyoming8crnnton Contest.
The Scranton foot ball team Jour
neyed to Kingston yesterday afternoon
and played a furious game with the
Wyoming Seminary boys. The game
GBNDALL TACKLES SINCLARE.
wa called shortly after 4 oclock and
during the first half neither side scored.
The Seminary team had the ball with
in a few Inches of the Scranton goal
when they lost on a fumble.
Slnclare kicked the pigakin towards
the Seminary lines and caught the ball
within a few feet of where he kicked
from and dashed down the field at a
rapid gait, running about ninety yards,
and being brought to earth on the
Seminary's ten yard line after a mag
nificent tackle by Gendall. In the sec
ond half several Scranton men were
crippled and unable to play and the
game wa called on account of dark
ness, neither side scoring. The line up
wa a follow:
