tho olllcal count that will begin today.
No newspaper other than The Tii

The pluralities of McKlnley, Cou
ncil, for (( rc-ress, and nil the Republi
can, state and county ticket are much
greater than was hoped for by the
most sanguine of party leaders. The
result Is all the inor.- gratifying to them
as the total number of Votea cist wa
about 4. (Ml more than the largest poll
ever recorded In Lackawanna county.
Fur McKlniey and lfryan, respectively,
is".!'l and ll.fiiS votes were cast, mak
ing 6,Ct;3 plurality for McKlnley.

continued to Increase ns It became
lirue am! more evident that the plu

County Chairman Thomas came In
for no little share of the congratula
tions thai were rife yesterday. , Ills
masterly management of the cam
paign and the loyal assistance given

favorably commented upon. Mr.
Thomas remained in chnrire of the
lieiii'niuai ters in the urmury nil night
und early yesterday afternoon went
to his home in Curbondulo to get much
needed rest.
on all sides the enterprise of the Tri
bune in putting such complete early
editions of the paper on the street was
praised. The midnight edition contained
an accurately forecast of the result,
national, state and county. The 3.30
u. m. edition had more comprehensive
figures although they did not change
the result announced at midnight.
The third edition was on the street at
S n. 111., and contained accurate and
almost complete returns from the en
tire county.
The Tribune Is Indebted to Hon. W.

WAS A LUCKY ESCAPE
Street Cnr and lias Come Together
on Lackawanna Avenue.
There was a collision between a street
car and a Union Transfer bus, loaded
with passengers, at the Intersection of
Lackawanna and Washington avenue,
at 5 o'clock p. m. yesterday, which, but
for the fortunate circumstance that the
car was first starting up. might have
been attended with severe results.
The driver of the bus pulled In be
hind an outgoing Dunmore car with the
intention of turning into Washington
avenue. The outgoing car prevented
him from seeing the Incoming No. 6
branch ear. which was Just starting up
after stopping above the crossing, and
the motornian of the Intter car for the
EaiK reason could not see the bus. The
consequence was that the branch car
ran plumb Into the bus.
Horses, harness and tender got pretty
badly tangltd up and the occupants of
the bus received a severe shaking, hut
luckily there was no one injured or any
damage done. After cursing one an
other roundly for a few minutes, the
motornian nnd driver untangled things
and stalled on their respective ways,
each threatening to see the other later.
WILL ASK FOR ASSISTANCE.
City Solicitor to .Hake n Sugges
tion Regarding Damage Claim.
Select council tonight will receive a
communication from City Solicitor Tor
rey dealing with the damage claims
against the city. Mr. Torrey has been
directed by councils to make out a list
of the claims and nubmit them with a
recommendation as to the proper dis
position of each case.
He believes that tt Job of such pro
portions nnd Importance is too much
for one clficer of the city to take and
will hiiggesl that a committee of coun
cils be uppolnted to advise him In the
mutter.
It Is tho responsibility rather thun
th' work thai Mr. Torrey is not anx
ious to assume.
PARADE FRIDAY NIGHT.
Tuesday's Great Victory Is to Be Cele
brated in a Manner Appropriate to
Its Magnitude and Importance.
The great victory won Tuesday will
be celebrated tomorrow night with an
Immense outdoor demonstration in
which the citizens of .the city generally

held which the presidents of the Re
publican clubs of this city and Its vicin
ity are invited to attend. At this meet
ing urruugiimeuts will lie made for the
parade on the following night.
otlieers of the Republican clubs of
Si rauton and its vicinity are urged to
notify Alderman W. H, Millar at once
if they propone to take part in the par
ade. Clubs with uniforms can wear
them but all clubs nre invited to be l,i
line whether uniformed or not. The

horns.
There will be an abundance of red
lire und fireworks to light up the route
over which the proccmion will pass

their utmost to work off some of their
surplus enthusiasm.
O'BRIEN, THE CONTRACTOR.
I.urgo Audience Saw the Drama at
the Academy of Music.
Daniel Sully und his company were
seen at he Acudemy of Music last even
ing in "O'Hrieu the Contractor" by a
large audience.
The rugged, honest and manly char
acter of o liiion Is one peculiarly suited
to the capabilities of Mr. Sully and
lie makes It 11 most interesting study,
ills method is very natural and In his
characterization of O'Hrieu lacks some
of the evenness und snbtility thut a
more finished actor might Impart, it
Is thoroughly enjoyable,
Mr. Sully was supported last night
by a pood company and the perform
ance wns received with much favor
by the audience,

PAVING OPERATION STOPPED.
Property Owners Say West Lacka
wanna Avenue Is lieing Narrowed.
Alexander Barnwman. CI. F. Kollow.
Edward Farr and Mr. Prltchard. prop
erty owners of West Lackawanna ave
nue, through their attorneys, Cawiey &
Shean, yesterday applied for an in
junction to restrain the wcrk of paving
West Lackawanna avenue.
In the bill of particulars filed by th?
complainants City Engineer Joseph
Philips and David Nichols, the con
tractor, who Is laying the pave, ara
named as defendants.
It is allagtd that the complainants
are property owenrs of the Fourteenth
ward who are being Injured because
the street Is not being paved to the
full width of thirty feet as required
by the ordinance authorising the pave
ment. It Is claimed by those who ask
for the injunction that near the inter
section of Main avenue. West Lacka
wanna has been narrowed to less than
thirty feet by the contractor end that
City Engineer Phillips although asked
to have the street paved to the width
called for has not rcted.
An injunction was urked to restrain
the work of paving and the court was
also asked to compel the contractor
to conform to the paving ordinance
and to direct that the defendants be
restrained from further niirapproprla
t'.on of public property and unlawful
interference with publlo streets.
Judge Archbald granted a prelimin
ary injunction and made It returnable
Friday at 9 a. m.
AMUSEMENTS.
Clasic plays when carefully present
ed by capable artists, always receive
cordiiil recognition and generous finan
cial support. That is why Thomas W.
Keene, the eminent tragedian has won
fame and fortune in Shakespearean and
other classic works. Since the curtain
of the world's stage was rung down on
liooth, Hurrett and McCullough Mr.
Keene has been the foremost nnd ill
fact, only distinguished Interpreter of
that class of plays in which those la
mented tragedians achieved Immortal
fame. Mr. Keene and Charles H. Hon
ford have joined their professional In
terests and this affiliation of two such
eminent actors must be doubly valu
able in an artistic us well as in a com
mercial sense. Mr. Honford appears
In the dual role of leading support and
manager for his associate. Their en
gagement is announced at the Academy
of Music for this evening when they
will appear In "Richard HI."
In Tloston, where Rosabel Morrison's
version of "Carmen" had Its Initial pro
duction, the press teemfd with praises.
The sturdy, stnid old Herald snld: "The
peifurmnnce was the very reincarna
tion of the gipsy of Meiimee's story. It
Is well worth seeing, well worth study
ing nnd well worth remembering, and
will probably grow Into a memorable
characterization. The play Is not only
Interesting, It Is absorbing. It is an
admirable parry of the attractive, mov
ing power of the characters. The play
was ndnilrnhly staged, one or two sets
being notably good. There was a big
house, which was most enthusiastic,
calling Miss Morrison after every act."
This attraction will be presented nt the
Academy Monday und Tueaduy, Nov. 9
nnd 10.
