This is a total of eleven Republicans
and six Democrats.
A Quiet Election Day
It Is many years since such public
apthy has been displayed at a local
election as was manifested yesterday.
The day was a delightful one from
morning till night, and the opportun
ity presented of choosing' good men and
true for the common council, which
has obtained rather a bad name by
reason of the fact that the Municipal
league secured the Indictment and res
ignatlon of eight of Its members, was
a splendid one.
The citizens, however, evidently de
cided that they had done their full
duty in comlnsr out to the primaries
to nominate the men who yesterday
ran for office.
The aldermanlo contests In the Four
teenth, Sixteenth and Twentieth wards
and the fight for common council In
the Eleventh furnished practically the
only enthusiasm and liveliness of the
day. The polling places In each of
these threo wards were surrounded
with large throngs of tho friends and
aupnortera of tho rival candidates, and
much buttonholing and persuasive ar
gument was Indulged In. '.
In the Sixteenth ward, which Is one
of the most uncertain bailiwicks In the
city, being now represented in coun
cils by a Democrat and a Republican,
an earnest and aggressive battle was
waged between Joseph Kline, the Re
publican candidate, and Attorney M.
J. Ruddy, the Democrat. Carriages
were used In great numbers and every
posslblo effort was made to get out
the vote.
Thero were six aldermanlo candi
dates In tho Twentieth ward, a Demo
cratlo stronghold. Five were Demo
crats, but four bad filed Independent
nomination papers and each had a sep
arate and distinct faction nt his back
Plugging for his election. The result
WM "d'"5 confusion." The polls were
surrounded by excited groups of men
representing each of the six candidates,
but nothing more- serious than long-'
drawn-out wordy wars resulted.
In the, Eleventh and Nineteenth
wards there was somo alight enthusi
asm displayed, but In the Seventeenth
aid Ninth It was found to be a hard
matter to get the citizens out at all to
exerclso their right to vote. In the
Seventh ward It wan the same way.
Up In the Thirteenth, Independent
Candidate A. Krugcrmnn made a hard
fight to burst through the stalwart
line, but was met with great resist
ance. In the First, Second and Third wards
In North Scranton the vote cast was
light as compared with that cast last
fall.
In the Fourth, Fifth, Fifteenth and
Twentv-flrst wards In West Scranton,
almost shocking disinterestedness was
displayed. Tho election officers In
many of the districts had so little to
do that they became drowsy and would
be almost oft In the land of Nod until
aroused by a prospective voter.
There were ties In two of the three
contests In the First district of the
Eighth ward and the third was decid
ed by one vote. W. A. Raub, the un
dertaker, and Frank O'Hara, the cigar
dealer, whose place of business Is next
door but one to Iloub'a, were tied! at
32 votes for register. It Is claimed
that the county commissioners are em
powered to appoint when a tie oc
curs for this olllce. but this Is not
from a legal authority. Five years
ago Mr. Raub and Mr. O'Hara's
brother, Joseph O'Hara, were tied for
thsl samo office. It was arranged they
should take a turn-about at doing th
work, and share the proceeds.
Rufus Bryant and Samuel Jerko
vltz were also tied at 32 for the office
of Inspector. They will toss up a coin
to decide which shall be majority In
tpector. Druggist John J. Loftus, who
Is one of tho city's most renowned
Jokers, owes his defeat to a Joke. lie
'was running against Joseph Green-
berger. Republican, for Judge of elec
tion. Chatles Moore, ot whose resi
dence In tin- district there Is some
doubt was offering to vote, and Lof
tus, who Is his close personal friend,
said he would not challenge him.
Mooie voted, and, for the Joke of the
the thing, voted against Loftus. His
Wis the only split ticket In all the
3" that were cast and hly vote for
Greenberger defeated T.oftui.
What was probably the liveliest
fight in the city was that over the
ofllc of alderman In the Sixteenth
waid. Attorney M. J. Ruddy, Demo
crat, and Joseph J. Klein, Republican,
a solid business man, were the con
testants. They and their friends had
been campaigning for a month and
yesterday from early morning until
the booths closed they had scores or
hustleih scurrying through all the
highways and byways of the ward
bringing' In the vote. The lesult was
that a vote almost as large as that
cast nl the presidential election was
polled.
The cosmopolitan character nf the
ward and Its comparatively largo "In
dependent" vote left the result In
doubt until the returns were an
nounced. There was surprise even
among Ruddy's most sanguine sup
porters at the size of his plurality, 183
votes. Several lively exchanges be
tween champions of either side oc
curred during the day and threats of
arrest for Illegal voting were freely
made.

John McDonald, Republican, will be
his own successor in common council,
and John J. Evans and T. W. Thomas,

Twelfth Ward.
In tliH First llst i let of tho Twelfth
waul, a lively scene was enucted at
the closing of the poles. Each and
every election officer had his own Ideas
a- to what course should be taken in
counting the vote and the effect of so
much Indlvldimltly nearly precipitated
a free-for-all fight.
Just as the dispute wus becoming so
animated that the participants weie
on the verge of blows. Judge of Eolec
tlnn James Carroll prevented the
threatened outbie.ik by grasping the
ballot box by the handles and carry
ing It to police headqiiaiters In tho
city hall.
Carroll deposited his heavy burden,
told Sergeant Rldgway that the citi
zens of the Flist district of the
Twelfth ward did not consider them
selves able to cope with the iiuestlun
of computing the ballot and woie sat
isfied to let court settle the differences
and walked off without further ex
planation. In the Second illstilct, the hoi'nl did
notvpost tho result of the election up
to n late hour and lefuscil to give out
any figures. Only election ofllceis
wero chosen in that ward.
Thirteenth Ward.
Alfred Harvey was re-elected to suc

GETTING ItID OF AN AGENT.
Lawyer's Story of Insurance Man
Who Wanted Money Badly.
Fiom tin- New Yolk un
"My insurance man came In to see
me the other day." said the young law
yer, "and wanted me to Increase my
life Insurance from $3,000 to JIO.000. I
couldn't do It very well. Of courie, he
was a great deal disappointed. He
talked and talked. I could see that he
was Indeed dlstiessed. 'it In the end
I had to tell him perempi rlly that I
really could not meet his views about
life Insurance.
" 'Now,' he said, 'do you know I am
rather glad of that? Because I have
another plan here that I would a rreat
deal rather have you go into. Of
course, these life insuranoe people are
my principal employers. I have to do
my duty by them. My conscience
would not let me take money from a
man for any other purpose than life
Insurance until I was absolutely sure
that there was nothing doing with him
In the life Insurance line. See?'
"I told him that nobody appreciated
better than I his loyalty to his employ
ers. " 'Thanks,' he said, without blush
ing. 'Now I want to call attention to
n company that has attracted my no
tice because of Its llbeiallty and fair
ness in dealing with Its friends. Now,
have you ever thought about accident
Insurance? Every young man '
"Well, of course he went on until he
was stopped. I succeeded In stopping
him by telling him that I wished very
much that he would talk to me about
something new. I never mado a worse
break In my life.
" 'I'm tickled to death you spoke
about It,' he said. 'Now, there's some
friends of mine 5vlth a mint of money
behind them who have got the newest
thing out. It's health Insurance. For
less than ,'i cents a day they will Insure
you against nny of these diseases.'
"And then ho unfolded a list of horri
ble nllllctlons which could be cured by
some patent medicine. It took my
breath away. Ho had tho right of way,
and ho talked until I got my wind
again. Then I told him that It was too
much llko an Investment In cheap gold
mine stock for mo. if it paid it would
pay a great deal, but It was more like
ly to result In money thrown away.
" 'Ain't those gold mining stocks aw
ful,' he exclaimed. 'Now, I have Jus
mm a migniy runny experience about
those things. Did you ever hear of t"
Midas and Grand Central Tete mine
out In Southern California? No? Well,
mighty few people have. They will be
foro long, though. You see, going
around as much ns I lo I get next to
some very Iniluentlal poople, and
through them I got on to this Mldaa
and G. U. V. stock. They aro going to
keep it very nulet until noxt February,
and then they are going to"sprlng a
surprise In It that there will be a heap
of money In. Of course, all those things
nre crooked. The thing la to bo In with
tho people who aro doing the crooked
work. I am In. Now, to tell the hon
est truth, I am awfully hard up. That's
why I have been after you so hard this
morning. 1 need the money. I need
150 more this mlnuto than I can possi
bly need $50,000 next February. I have
got ubout 25,000 shares of this M, & G.

GRANT AND THE MULES. )
Excellent Story of Hia Work as Lieu-
tenant in Mexican War.
Major J. A. Wfttrous, U. S. A., tel)!,
in tho Saturday Evening Post, several
good stories of General Grant when
he Was a lieutenant In v. xr.-i
war. One la tha mule story. He tried
a uemii ot men ana many ropes but
tho mulo got tho better of the ex
periment. Then this happoned:
"Iteturnlng, he gave orders to takfl
the next victim to the largo rock. It
was backed as closo to tlw obstruction
ns possible without actually touching
It. Half a dozen men were told to
hold the brute, by the head, e&ra ana
neuU, nnd on no account to let it ad
vance fli .11 the rock, rrhfr, n n ......
told to clap n harness on quickly. As
soon ns the buckles began to fasten,
the mulo became restless. Pretty soon
It mado a sudden Junge and succe-edodl
In getting four feet away from tho
rock, nnd then the fun began. lta
henls cracked against the rock sav
agely for a short time. It was a new
experience, and apparently a painful
one, for tho battered hind feet were)
lifted again and again, but very gent
ly, .and only one at n time, while It.i
head shook and ears flopped. That!
mulo wns cured, nnd tli? problem woa
solved. Tho detail returned to rami
Into that ovenlng having accomplished
Its mission taken the kick out of u
drove of ns unmanageable mules na
ever hauled pork and hardtack,'
