Shaft Doposita of tho School
Childron Funeral of tho Lato
Mrs, John Brown from Hor Lato
Rosidencc.
yesterday was tho liveliest jirlmnry
election in ninny years In West Scrnn
ton, owing to tho number nf cnndldatotf
from over tho river seeking tho differ
ent offices vlthln the (rifts of tho non
pie. Their friends were very much In
evidence at every election booth, and
tho friendly rivalry which existed wa
a source of general comment. Prior to
C o'clock a light vote wus cast, owing
to the many votcis being engaged nt
their dally labors, but from that hour
on, there was a continual string of men
lined up at the polls ready and anxious
to cast their votes.
From an unbiased point of view, the
General sentiment was In favor of
William Connell for congress, Ids on
poncnt receiving a complimentary vote
from personnl friends In many dis
tricts, in the Fifteenth ward. David
M. Jones received a large vote for re
corder of deeds, and In the Fifth and
Fourth wards, F. H. Iteesc and Simon
Thomas showed their strength for the
same office.
Messrs. Fellows, Ilousur, Ferber.FInn
and Becker had an nrmy of lieuten
ants at work In every voting district,
and each was confident of carrying
many West Scranton districts, but the
real fight for votes was between Fol
lows, Houser and Finn, and If a com
parison of the votes Is made It will be
found that each of them were very
strong In nil of the different wards.
For national delegates, T, H. Dale
and Everett Warren were the favor
ites, while Mine .Superintendent Evan
Evans received a complimentary vote
from among tho employes of the vari
ous Delaware, Lnckawanna and West
ern collieries. In the Fourth, Fifth.
Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards the
voltng was heavy, but In the Sixth.
Eighteenth and Twenty-first wards
there was a light poll, owing to the
small percentage of Republican voters
In the several districts.

Can't Think
Of a Good Reason
Why the prices on these
lovely wash goods should be
broken so early in the season.
They're new, desirable and
fashionable, but
Stocktaking
Time Is Near
Here's a lot you'll never be
able to duplicate again. Fine
Corded Ginghanis in Plaids,
Checks, Stripes and Baya

These are excellent value for
iSc a yard, but the stock is
heavy and so we say ioc a
yard this week.
And There's
Another Good Lot
Of Exquisite Belfast Dimi
ties, Tufted Ginghams, An
derson's imported Ginghams,
A finer line was never shown
in this city, and as you know
these goods are worth 25c,

NORTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Lotter from Price Lloyd, Who Is
Fighting for Uncle Sam in
tho Philippines.
The following letter hns been re
ceived from Price Lloyd, of Rockwell
street, who Is now on duty In the
Philippines, being attached, In com
pany with a number of other Scran
ton boys, to company A, Forty-seventh
volunteer Infantry:
Pjiis.i1, P. I., April 11, 1D0O.
Pear rrlcnd:
When wc first lindcd at Dansal up drove the
I'lllpii.os out ol the town an J they have re
turned but mice fincp then. We had a lilic
lintuc with them on J.in. 28, which lasted fie
hour. Our loss was eight wounded, while theirs
was 43 killed and 71 wounded. Wc made a
charge on tnctn, chasing them out ot their
trenches and captured four cannon and six
prisoners.
We had it Aery hard on guard duty at first.
We li.nl to stay In the trendies diy and night,
and the cooks had to brine our food around to
us. It Is a little better now, as wc lmo a
fence of cocoanut trees built around the entire
town. There are openings every hundred feet,
in which the sentries are plated. I don't think
they can come In on us now to do any damage
of an) account.
The night after the battle I referred to above
we had more trouble with Hum. Several of
them nealed into the town and started a fire
and before we could stop the flames over one
half of the town was in ashes. The population
of D.un.il is 8,000, ho oti cm leadlly tee that
we liae to keep our eyes wide open, numbering
only 200 as we do. Wc had several little brushes
with the insurgents until Feb. it, when about
thirty soldiers, of which pirty I was one, took a
trip up the river in a boat.
Going up we bad a pleasant time, but com
ing back the fun oinnunctd. Without warning
we were fired upon finm both sides ol the river,
the bullets coming like a li ill' storm, Wc could
see the smoke, but the thick blush on tho river
banks successfully tonceabd the enemy. The
major comminding us cnhicd us to tire at the
points fiom whence the Miioko came. This we
did and when the tiring ceased and the smoke
had cleared away it was discovered that our
loss was only one man killed and one wounded.
We did not learn tho otont of tho enemv's
loss until the next day, when we went up on
foot and captured one ot their sergeants, who
told us that the Filipino loss was 1') killed and
13 wounded, which I think is a pietty good rec
ord. We are about to take a trip up the river
to Polar, so I must clo-c this letter.

an lncrnaso In their wages. They wero
met with a prompt nnd emphatlo re
fuMil, which seemed to greatly anger
and excite several of tlipm, especlillv,
Uroadbent, who Is a powerfully bulltl
man.
Tho strikers accordingly withdrew)
to one side of tho road, ictalnlng their
picks and shovels and began to taunt!

appeared on tho scene with Mounted
Otllcer llurke, who lives nearby.
Just ns they arrived a happening)
occurred which had It not been fori
their appearance would have led tq
a general light.
Uroadbent lifted his shovel and; '
without any warning brought It down
on the head of Charlie Bltlger, am
Italian who had refused to cjult work.
The latter turned and returned tha
blow, whereupon Uroadbent again
raised, his shovel antl was about ta
deal Illtlger a terrific blow on tha
head with Its edge when the polios
men grubbed him and placed him un
der arrest. There were ominoumi .
threats from tho strikers while this
was being done, but they soon fuiletedi
down.
Uroadbent was lodged In the ntatiort
houe, but It is not known whethen
the company will press the cn,se or;
not. Over one-halt nf the men de
cided later In the afternoon that theyj
wou'd return to work, but the other
half drew their pay and will not eq
back.
