NO POLICE COURT YESTERDAY. Election Day Very Quiet in Central City With Small Row in Eighth. There was no police court yesterday morning, not a single arrest having been made Tuesday. Election day proved very quiet and the police ofll cers had a very restful time of it, tlfs only trace of n, row appearing about fi o'clock In the evening at the polling booth in the Second district of the Eighth ward, in Hotel Rudolph. An altercation here took place be tween Tax Collector Thomas Gllgal lon and Thomas J. Roche, Democratic candidate for common council. Hot words were exchanged and blows struck, but the affair calmed down as suddenly as It started and peace reigned afterward. Bankrupt Sale at the "Leader." The stock of Lebeck & Corin.

It Is Probable That the Real Vote for the Viaduct and Sewers Will Not Be Known Unless the Ballot Boxes Are Opened It Is Said That the Election Officers, in Some Districts at Least, Guessed at the Number of Votes Cast-3ffiajortties of Fellows and Ferber. In the adjoining column wilt lie found a table compiled from the open returns In the prothonotary's office, which demonstrates the correctness ot the very complete election returns printed In The Tribune yesterday. Major K. D. Fellows and C. C. Fer ber, Itepubllcans, nre elected school directors, the former having: a major ity of SO." and the latter 4R7. There Is a strong- probability that the proposition to bond the cltv to build sowers carried, our tnble showing a majority of 09 for it with three dis tricts to hear from. The way election boards dealt with the votes cast for and against the via duct and sewers is deserving of con sideration from the court when it be gins the official count of the vote. The boards not only failed to post the vote outside of the election booth, ns required by law, but did not Include it in the open returns, and in many wards, The Tribune Is reliably Inform ed, the votes for and against the via duct and sewers was not counted at all. It was down at the bottom of the ballot and In many Instances was over looked by the election officers until they had a sroodly part of the comput ing ot the vote done. Rather than go to the trouble of going over the ballots again they decided among themselves to give so many votes for and against the viaduct and so many for and against the sewers. WHAT MUST BK DONE. There is every indication that the real vote for the sewers and viaduct will not bo ascertained' unless sonic one goes into court and advances reasons why the ballot boxes of various wards should be opened and the real condi tion of affairs ascertained. If the sealed returns from the three districts to be heatd from should defeat the sewer proposition It is likely that some steps In that direction will be taken, for there is every leason to believe that If there was a fair and honest count the sewer proposition would be found to be out of the woods bv a very comfortable marein. The viaduct pioposltlon was not only thoroughly swamped In the city at laige, but was defeated In West Scran ton Its-elf, the very hotbed of viaduct enthusiasm and the part of the city above all others which would be ma terially benellted by the Improvement. This must lie very discouraging to the West Side boaid of trade, which worked so earnestly and energetically In an effoit to stir up sentiment In favor of the viaduct, but whoso labor? went for naught. The Fourth and Fifth wards went in favor of the viaduct, but the Four teenth, Fifteenth and Twenty-first went against it. The total West Scranton vote for the viaduct was 1.13S nnd against It, 1,162. the proposition being defeated by four votes. VOTE nV DISTRICTS. The vote of the West Scranton wards on the question was as follows: 1'OUltTH WARD. For. Acalnst. First district SI 27 SecSnil district 42 M Third district 121 39 Fourth district 63 10(1 309 FIFTH WARD. KS For. , 1st . 161 , X) , SJ Ml Acuinst. .".0 1".' 61 Fit .st dlMrlct ..

First district 78 111 Second district 104 lul 1S2 214 TWENTY-FIRST WARD. For. Against. First district 23 101 Second district 11 41 66 1. Tho reason given by the majority of persons for tho defeat of the measure is that tho people of the various sec tions of the city didn't look at tho mat ter In a broad, general way. It Is stated that the general opinion pre vailing among those who voted against the measure was that tho viaduct would not benefit the city at large, but only West Scranton and the Scranton Rail way company. As one advocate of the proposition happily remarked yesterday: "There, was too much of the you-glve-us-pave. ments-or-sewers and we'11-glve-you-a-vladuet sentiment prevailing." As nn instance of how strongly the South Scranton people were in favor of tho improvement It might be mentioned that In the Fourth district of the Nine teenth ward there were 145 votes cast against the viaduct and Just one single one for It. In all sections of the city the viaduct boomers heard this: "We're not going to build a viaduct for tho Scranton Raltway company. It must pay Its share." All the city returns, with the excep tlon of those from tho Third district of tho Eleventh ward, were delivered to Prothonotary Copeland before 5.30 p. m., when his office closed for the day. No word waB received of the missing returns and as they were expected In every minute, no search for them was made. If they are not in today tho prothonotary will report the matter to court and the .sheriff will likely assist in having them brought In. Several of the boards failed to make any open returns of the vote on the vluduct and sewers. These wore In the Fourteenth ward, Second district: Eighth ward, First district: Second ward, Second district: Twentieth ward, Third district: Twenty-first ward, Sec ond district: Third ward, First district; Fourth ward, First district; Second ward, Fifth district. A very remarkable feature of the elec tion was that there was only one man In the whole city who could not find two men of his. choice among the four men running for cchooj director.

Will Be Extended the Plant at Dunmore Will Be En largedStories About Sweeping Changes in Officials and Curtail ment of Authority Are Without Foundation Ready to Let Con tracts Next Week. What tho Lackawanna company has done for Scranton timing the past year the expanded Erie and Wyoming ptom Ises to do for Dunmore wlun the plars which the management now has under way aie complete. Such was the t tatement. without the comparison, made to a Tilbune re porter last evening by W. V. S. Thome, of New York, vice-president of tho Erie nnd Wyoming and Pennsylvania Coal company and president of the new Delaware Valley and Kingston road. "We do not propose tu make any sweeping changes In the officials of tho road, as some paper here, I am told, has stated," said Mr. Thorne, "nor has there been anything done or contem plated that should tend to give out the Impression that Mr. Smith has had his authority abridged and Is to be dis placed. What has been done Is simply this: The work of the railway depart ment will bo doubled by the extension to tidewater and Mr. Smith hns been Riven some help on that end of his work. He still continues as president of the Erie and Wyoming and general superintendent of the Pennsylvania Coal company, with the same authority that he always had ARRANGEMENTS P.EINU MADE. "General Manager Slade and Super intendent Davis are now engaged In arrangements that will place the road In readiness to become a. part of the through lino to tidewater. Chief En gineer Webster, who is with me here today, tells us that he has .the final location of the entire route about com plete, and if the railroad commission's sanction was forthcoming at once we could begin to let contracts next week." Mr. Thorne expressed himself as con fident that the New York state com missioners will sanction the new road and that the sanction will be given promptly at tho close of tho hearings now In progress. Five hearings have already taken place and another Is scheduled for March IS. It Is expected the case will be finished at this hear ing. "Ninety-nine per cent, of the res!, dents of tho territory through which tho new road Is to be built are In favor of It." Mr. Thorne said, "and I have every cause to believe the people of this place are in favor of It. We want thorn to be with us. They will not regtet It. Our road, by reason of its natural ad vantages and consequent cheapness of construction nnd operation, can carry coal to New York at a much less figure than It Is now being carried for. This means better possibilities of competing against bituminous; better profits for tho operator and bettor times in gen eral In this region. BENEFIT TO DUNMORE. "Dunmore will be especially bene fited by the opening of tho new road. I can not now tell you in detail what we propose to do there, but let It suf fice to say that it will be the head quarters for construction and repairs and that In the same degree that the road is extended, the Dunmore plant will bo extended. We will make things boom around Dunmore." Mr. Thorne and the local officials spent yesterday in consultation at the Pennsylvania company's offices in Dun more and last evening he and Chl't Engineer Webster had a conference at tho Jermyn. Mr. Thorne. Chief En gineer Webster, General Manager SlcJe and Superintendent Davis will start out this morning to make a trip by car- ilago over the entire length of the new road between Hawley and Kingston.

But He Had a Oreat Propensity for Hot Waffle-:. Ho was only a little chap not mora than 8 years old, but he almost mis ceedod In getting himself Into a gicat big peck of tioublo last evening sluiit ly after 0 o'clock. As everyone knows, at a point on Spruce stttet, midway between Wy oming nnd Washington avenues a "hot wnlllo" man holds, forth, serving these tnothoomp delicacies "right from tho griddle." The tempting and tip pctlzmg Miioll which arisen during the cooking process causes many an adult passerby's mouth to water, but with the newsboys and street gamins It Isn't "many a mouth" but rather every mouth. The wagon may be always seen sur rounded by a crowd of these unchlns, who gaze with wistful longing eyes at the waffles as they are taken off ilo llclously brown nnd whoso hearts give little Jumps as they see the powdered sugar spiinklcd lavishly on. It Is hinted that many a newsboy goes Into the paper business with the distinct aim nnd nmbitlon In view or being nbl- to walk boldly up. plank down one or two pennies nnd receive some of tho hot cakes in return. At any rate the usual throng of streot boys, ragged and otherwise, was gath ered around thi stand last evening, watching the culinary operations, when the aforementioned lad sneakr-d fur tively forward and by a dextrous mo tion sneaked four of the waffles away and started on a wild run towiml I Wasnlngton avenue. The waffle man didn't notice the thing at once, nut a passing mnn did and he grabbed tho boy Just as he was passing him. The big policeman on tho corner, seeing the excitement, started lels uiely down the street;, but In the mean time a lady, a veritable Fairy God mother she proved to bo for tho little chap, had sought out tho waffle man, and not only paid him for tlm3o tho boy bad taken but bought a whole bag full and gave them to him. Hostilities, of course, ceased Imme diately and the last seen of the urchin he wns sitting In tho alleyway gorging himself with watfles and tho envy of a crowd of youngsters who surrounded him. SPRING ELECTION COSTS. Treasurer Kelly Favors Holding One Election a Year. When County Tt .insurer Kelly closed his ofllco last evening ho had on file $4,500 in cashed wnrrants for election expenses, nnd was expecting others that would run tht total up to Jfi.000. Each spring election, Treasurer Kel ly says, costs just about this amount and in his opinion It Is an entirely un necessary expenditure. He believes the spring elections should be done nway with, after the example of New York. One election a year, he con tends, would be sufficient, and, fur thermore. It would be eminently more satisfactory, he believes, because It would insure a larger vote. A Card.
