City With Small Row in Eighth.
There was no police court yesterday
morning, not a single arrest having

proved very quiet and the police ofll

booth in the Second district of the
Eighth ward, in Hotel Rudolph.
An altercation here took place be
tween Tax Collector Thomas Gllgal

suddenly as It started and peace
reigned afterward.

DID NOT CARRY
WEST SCRANTON
VIADUCT PROPOSITION WAS
DEFEATED THERE.
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.

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. Thij

He has been coming back at regular
Intervals to have his shoulder. In which
the murderous Chiprlano's bullet

what is practically his last visit to tho
hospital.
When first brought there he was very
badly wounded, and it looked rather
uncertain as to whether or not ha
would pull through. Careful nursing
and attendance, however, did their
work and he Is now almost as strong
as ho was before tho shooting took
place.

Changes in Officials and Curtail

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.

ONLY A LITTLE CHAP.
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.
