Behold It Is better to be, to bo The lord high keeper of tho treasures In the board of control as It now Is shown Than rulo tho city or a ward to own. Oh happy is the man whoever bo he The fashionable trailing frowns were not desiened for Scranton streets. The Spinsters will have their dance this evening Instead of tomorrow night, es had been previously announced. Tomorrow tho great annual dinner and supper will be held as usual at the Flrt Presbyterian church. It is a pity that the fair entertainers do not re turn to their old-time custom and cele bate this national holiday in powdered hair and quaint Colonial dress. Now draweth on apace the- season of mortification of the llesh in planning irresistible new frocks for the summer campaign. The other day a small Scranton boy missed twenty words out or the twenty five assigned In Tils lesson. It was a bad showing and the teacher accord ingly required him to write five hun dred words beginning with a certain letter. It is said that Superintendent Howell, on learning of this method of making the punishment fit the crime, whistled for a strnlcht hour nml . imir in order to keep himself from saying naughty words. The poem at the beginning of the programme for tho Home concert was from the facile pen of Mrs. K. S. Mof fat. PERSONAL. John Thomas, of tho Delaware and Hudson depot, has gone to New Bruns wick.

(DSngBEO ))) ttlt I TO Dti KGADV FOIt AN EMERGENCY. Hlg Consignment ot Cartridges Sent Here l'rldny. Ten thousand rounds of ammunition wore quietly Htnuirgled Into the ntseniil of tho Scranton city guard urinary Fri day night. It cnine fiom Harrloburc and no one know ot Km coming or ar rival excepting Lieutenant-Colonel C. C. Mallee, who i3 commanding thu Thirteenth during Colonel Coursen'B rlisencc In Florida, and Commlssnvy Serjeant Reese Wutklns, who assisted In ptorlug the boxes away. If any ortlsi'd came In connection with thu shipment of the timmunltlon they nro of course being carefully kept from the public. There Is no doubt though th'ut this move Is in line with the pres ent activity ot tho government In pre paring for the crisis that seems tenl bly imminent. Now that'3 tho way the "i'allcr Jour nals" would have it. Every statement contnlned In tho abuvo paragraph Is literally true. Ten thousand rounds of ammunition were received from llarrlsburg Friday and In tho early evening It was quietly stored away In the nrmcry arsenal. That the thing wan quietly done Is ex plained by tho fact lli'at It would have bos.i remarkable had there leon nny bluster made about It. It is rt regular occurrence. Tho rezulatlons ot the National Guard require .that a certain amount of ammunition bo kept on hand ut each regimental headquarters. When the Itizleton trouble broke out the Thirteenth's stock was pretty well ex hausted by rsason of It being the height of the rlllo practice poison. Ton thousand rounds of cartridges were taken along to Hazleton and according to orde.-s was distributed anions tho ir.cn. This gave each man about twenty-five cartridges. There was more or less rifle practice down there nnd what cartridges were left In the ammunition boxes carried by the men were hardly worth collecting, so they were allowed to keep trem that they might not have the trouble of making out a requisi tion when they might want to practice on the local ranges. This left the stores nt the nrmory 10,000 cartridges short and so along In December, some time, the colonel pent In an order to division headquarters for 10,000 cartridges to fill out the re quired stock. And there vou are. SACRED CONCERT A SUCCESS. , M'ns All That Could lfe Desired from Kvery Point of View. Such an audience was attracted to the sacred concert given last night un der tho direction of Professor W. P. Schilling, the chorister of St. Peter's cathedral, that tho largo hall of St. ThomaB' college was filled to tho last seat and many persons besides were standing. The programme, as printed previous ly in The Tribune, was carried out In Its entirety, and there were also sev eral encores. It was Professor Schil ling's Intention not to permit encores on account of tho length of the pro gramme, but the audience would not let 111 in live up to his intention, de manding a repetition of every number. This would have been Impossible, so by way of compromise a few of tho most warmly applauded numbers were repeated. One of these was the fcolo and chorus by the Thalia Male chorus, composed of G. Keppert, J. Miller, Frank Becker, John lit miner, J. Schrleber, Otto Stoeckel, G. Schmidt, I.. Haberstroh and Peter Snyder. Mrs. Schilling's so prano solo and a trio by Miss Du Boles, Victor Gruener and Gustavo Ituppert were tho other numbers which were repeated. The closing selection by St. Peter's' cathedral choir, "Domine" from Mo zart's requiem, one of the most dif ficult of vocal compositions, was ren dered In a manner that was truely re markable for an amateur choir. STANTON GETS A VERDICT Traction Company .Mulcted, but City Is Ilelensed. Saturday morning the jury In the case ot Giles Stanton ugalnst the Scranton Traction company and city of Scranton returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 5SS7.99 and found that the city was in no way liable for the In Jury upon which the suit was based. The verdict Is conditional upon Judge McPherson's future finding as to whether or not the evidence warranted the submission of the case to the jury. The plaintiff sustained a fractured leg by the upsetting of his hay wagon on a snow bank thrown up by a street car company's sweeper on Capouae avenue. It was alleged also that the city had contributed to the accident by shoveling snow from the sidewalks on to the bank In question, but the Jury declined to sustain this contention. Tho defense was that Stanton had had an upset on this very same snow bank only four days previous to the accident and was consequently guilty of con tributory negligence In attempting again to drive over It. This Is the point on which Judge McPherson's decision hangs. FLAQ.RAISINQ AT NO. 6. Lieut. L'zrn S. Grlilln Post to Partici pate in tho Exercises. School officials and Lieutenant Ezra S.

EIGHTEENTH WARD RETURNS RECEIVED Tliclr Correctness Practically Unchal lenged Said Judge Gunslcr. CENSURED TUB ELECTION BOARD An i:irctlon Olllccr lint No Might to Allow Illmsclt to Ho Ovorcomo by Intoxicating Liquors, Said tho Judge Ho Unllcvos That Mnny Illegal Votes Hero Cnst--Oiriclnl footings of the Vote Cast in Scrnn ton Lust Tuosilny. With all its faults, it would nppear, the Eighteenth ward election count was at least correct enough on Its face to receive the official sanction of the court, When tho ballot box was brought in by Commissioners T. P. Duffy and It. J. Murray, Saturday morning, court directed that it be opened and its con tents removed for inspection. The con dition of the contents bore out the statements as to the befuddled condi tion of the board. A rummage through tho mass of folded and unfolded bal lots brought forth the missing list of voters and tho threo additional tally sheets used to record the O'Boyle Hoban vote. Clerk Burns 'identified two of these sheets as the ones ho had used In connection with the one that came over with the sealed returns. Clerk Hosie recognized the third as the one on which he carried forward his "tallies," running them out to the margin nnd then finishing the score on the back. Hosle's two sheets, Burns' three and the slightly disfigured but still fairly presentable open return sheet were found to coincide exactly ns to final results, so Judge Gunster accepted them and directed tho com puting board to certify them. In doing this, Judge Gunster was constrained to remark: JUDGE GUNSTER'S REMARKS. Thero is no doubt but that the re Jurns aro irregular and that the officers grossly misbehaved themselves there on election day. An election ofllcer has no llRht to allow himself to be overcome by Intoxicating liquors. Tho evidence shows that some of the board were intoxicated and did not know what they were do ing. Tho others wero not and, of course, knew what they were about. Had they kept the tally correctly thero would be no loom for argument, but they did not. I believe, as they all swore, that threo sheets wero used to keep tho tally on and that tho footing of the figures on the tlueo sheets give the amount of the total vote. There is no doubt that thero wero many illegal votes enst, but that I can not go Into at this time; It Is only prop er for a contest. Tho correctness of the return Is practically unchallenged. I di rect the clerks to certify them. That there were illegal votes cast is evident from the fact that while 345 votes are recorded ns having been east only 120 namej wore checked off on the registry list. Another evidence of il legal voting was found In the fact that out of the 45 affidavits that ac companied the returns not one of them was found to be In compliance with the law. There Is every likelihood that thero will be a contest. One of the features of the contents of the ballot box was the officers' oaths of office which were marked '"Oath of office of the Democratic party of the election district of the Eighteenth ward." Below Is the official footing complet ed Saturday of the vote cast In last Tuesday's election.
