FIGHT FOB, CLERKSHIP.
Three Candidates Want to Be Elected
Common Council Clerk.
Thorn' promises to be n lively Unlit
this year ror the clerkship at the com
tnon council. The present clerk, W. A.
Lynett, Democrat, Is undismayed by
the fnct Hint tho nollllciil complexion
of the council bus been charged since
hu was electqd Inst and announced yes
terday to n Tiibune man that he Is
ii. r'liiultthitc for re-election. The coun
cil now stands twenty-one Republicans
to seventeen Democrats, but Lynolt Is
(onlldciil Unit be can mill enough votwt
fiom the olbor Hide.
There are two Republican candidates
In the Held and both have nlread.V bel
Kim an nctlvo canvass. They are Ed
waid It. Conley, of the Eleventh wind,
nnil Harry Ilatton. The fonner Is n
well known young man, who wns ti
u candidate for assessor In his ward
lust Tuesday and who, though defeat
ed, ran sixty votes nhead of the rest
of the ticket. Ilatton was for
mer .Mayor Molr's private secretary and
was rlerk lo the common council him
self some years ago.
An effort will be niado by some of
tho Republican members to have As
sistant City Clerk Evan Morris elected
clerk thus practically dispensing with
tbu olllce.
A prominent Democrat common
councilman wen yesterday, said that
It was likely that no Democratic eun
(llilate would be put ut) for chairman,
the wny things look now.
NINETY-TWO YEARS OLD.
Mrs. Hannah Hallock, Who Saw
Soldiers Leaving for the War of
1812, Died Wednesday.
Mrs. Hannah IIulloi-lc, who was)
piobably the oldest woman In this clly
at the time of her death, passed away
Wednesday at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Emma Kinb.ick, of rO Ollvu
stieat, aged 92 years and C months.
Mrs. Hallock was born In Strouds
burg In 1SO0 and lived there for over
eighty years, moving to this city some
eight years ago, lo live with her daugh
ter. Stioudsburg, 111 Mrs. Ilnllock's
early days, was but a cleared' spot in
ihe midst of a "forest primeval." 1.
was settled by a band of sturdy Quak
ers, who came from Philadelphia lo
live their simple lives close to nature.
Among the sturdiest and best known
of these was Mrs. Hallock's father-in-law,
who was a Quaker preacher and
who had charge of the little band of
pioneers.
Her husband, Captain "William Hal
lock, was a devout Quaker all his life
and was for years the warden of the
Madison county jail. He died some
twenty yeais ago, at the ago of 7u.
Mis. Hallock, while not a Quaker by
birth, nevertheless imbued .1 sort of
Quaker sentiment from lier long asso
ciation with Captain Hallock and will
be buried today in the quaint and pic
turesque little Quaker burial ground
in .Stroudsbtirg.
Up to within six months of her death
she was surprisingly actho for a wo
man of her years, her only really ap
parent physical impairment being a
slight deafness. Her eyesight was ex
cellent and she was able to read and
do tho very finest kind of f.incy ncedle
wmk without glasses. Her memory
was remarkably clear clearer, in fact,
limn the memories of a great petcent-
nge of people half her age. She could
distinctly recall seeing soldiers leave
Stroudsbtirg for the war of 1S12, and
remembered especially that the women
were clustered in the street near her
parents' house, crying blltcily.
Mrs. Hallock wns the mother of
twelve children, only four of whom
survive her. They me as follows:
Sirs. .T. F. Klnbaek. of this clly; Sam
uel D of Pittsburg; Theodore 1., or
.Indianapolis, and James YV., of New
York.

WOELKERS NOT
' YET DEFEATED
STRONG PROBABILITY OF HIS
BEING ELECTED.
On tho Stiength of nn Allegation
That Tour Illegal Votes Were
Counted for His Opponent In the
Plist District of tho Eleventh
Ward, Couit Grants an Order Di
recting tho Election Officers to Ap
pear for Examination Contest In
Dickson City.
Some few or more persons were congratulating-
themselves and the com
munity yesterday and the day before
that Constable Joseph V. Woolkers of
tho Klovohlh wnrd bad been defeated
for re-election. Their congratulations,
it now appears, were a bit premature.
Unless present calculations me all
askew, "Woelkers Is elected.
In tho First district of the Eleventh
ward according to the admissions of
members- of the election board, four
Illegal ballots wcie counted which con
tained voles for AVoelkers' opponent,
Peter .Marker. This mistake If recti
fied, will give "Woelkots a majority of
three, the vole returned being; Marker,
"!", and AVoelkers, Hiifi,
Attorney C, C. Donovan, represent
In Constable "Woelkeis, went before
court yesterday and secured nn order
directing tho election boaid lo appear
this morning' to bo examined on tho
above allegation.
In the allldavit presented by Woelk
ers In support of the motion for a re
count, It is set forth that on at least
three ballots which the board counted
as being regular a cross appeared In
the ciiclo at the head of tho Republi
can column, and a cross in tho square
following tho name of the Democtatlo
assessor. It was further alleged that
on another ballot which contained a
cross in tho circle at tho head of the
Republican column and a cross in the
square after tho name of the candidate
for constable in tho Democratic! col
umn, the name of "Woelkers wns
scratched out. and that of Marker wrjt
teu immediately underneath.
COUNTED FOR MARKKR.
Tiie board counted nil those four
votes for Marker. Under the decision
of the supreme court, these four bal
lots should have been completely ig
iioi ed. Tiie supremo court has ex
plicitly ruled that a cross in the circle
at the head of one column and a cross
in any square in any other column in
validates the whole ballot. Tho evi
dent intention of tho voter may be
plain, but evident intention doesn't go.
If tile election bonrd admits what
Woelkers' aflldavil avers, a recount will
likely bo allowed and Woelkers will
be continued in tho olllce of constable.
A lequesl for a recount also came
from Attorney John M. Harris repre
senting John Itellly, the union candi
date for councilman in the First ward
of Dickson City.
Rcilly and James lield, Republican,
were tied at 11 Ii according to tho re
turns. P.eilly alleges that one of the
ballots which contained a vote for Reltl
was illegal In that tho mark at tho
head of Die Republican column was not
within tho circle, but just lo the right
of it and completely outside of it.
There is no question but that this
ballot is illegal, hut there is a question
as lo whether or not the court can
grant the petition for it recount.
Tho law provides that the returns of
city elections and elections for justices
of tho peace shall be made to tho
prothonotaiy and by him presented to
the court for leview. Tito returns ot
municipal elections in boroughs anil
townships are made to the clerk of the
court and he enters them without hav
ing them reviewed by the court. In a
city election, a recount can be ordered
within three days. There Is nothing
In tho law, as far as appears on the
surface which authorizes the court to
order n recount In a boiough or town
ship election.
DECISION' THIS MOliN'IXG.
Judges Edwards and Kelly consulted
yesteuhiy on Mr. Reilly's motion and
will hand down their decision tills
morning. If the court decides it has no
authority to order a recount in a mun
icipal election In a borough, Mr. Rellly
will have to have recourse to an elec
tion contest.
The ofikial count of the returns of
Scranton and Carbondalo was begun
yesteiday afternoon at 2 o'clock-. At
l.liO o'clock, when adjournment was
had, tho First, Second, Third, Fourth
and two districts of tin Fifth waul of
Scranton had been counted. There wore
no disci epaneles discovered In the Mor-lis-Costello
vote and only a few unim
portant discrepancies In tho vote for
Hie other odlccs.
The count Is being computed by the
following clerks; Supervising clerk,
Lewis IJ. Cuter; jecordlng clerks, II,
S. Ahvorth and James Roll; ie cletks,
John M. Canister and John M. Corbett;
leading cierK, John M. McCourt.
Attorney D. J, needy and ex-Sheiiff
John J. Fahey are present In the In
terests of the Democratic city commit

Hearings on rules secured by tho
Municipal League to revoke liquor li
censes wete conducted yesterday by
Judges Edwards and Kelly, setthiff In
argument couit. Ton of tho twenty-six
cases woio heard. Tho others weto con
tinued for various reasons,
TART CRITICISM.
A bit of a spice was Injected Into the
ln'.uing of the rulo to i evoke tho license
of William Ilealey, of Dunmore, Tiie
complaint originally charged lilni with
selling liquor on Sunday, October 27,
1901. When tho complaint was exam
ined yesteiday, It was seen that Octo
ber 20, 1001, had been substituted. At
torney John H. Jordan representing Mr,
Ilealey, alleged that the substitution
was Irregular and mndo soiuo tart crit
icisms of tho attorneys for the league.
Attorney F. E. Reers, representing the
league, claimed that tho substitution
was mudo at tho suggestion of tho
court, Mr. Joidnn w tinted to havo the
petition quashed but court would only
ugreo to grant a continuance.
The other cases heard were those in
which tho licenses of tho following
wore attached: Joseph Ruff", of Elm-
Mr, Wheeler Got Rid of His Rheu
matism, "During the winter of iss I was so
lame in my joints, In fact all over my
body, that I could hardly hobble
around, when I bought a bottlo of
Chiimberluln's Pain Halm. From tho
lirst application I began to get well,
and was cured and havo worked
steudlly all tho year." R. Wheeler,
Northwood, N. y, For .sale by all druggists.
hursti i j, Lttiignn, ot tho Eighth
ward; Michael Lynott, of the Fifth
ward; j, j. Flaherty, of tho Eighth
waul! V. ,Ti O'Donnell, ot Dunmuroj
Elizabeth Reese, of the Fifteenth wnrd;
J. J. Carroll, of the Eighth ward: A. M.
Js'orrls and P, j, Dlshiu, of Lackawan
na township.
Ono or more ot tho league detectives,
KUBene Wlnilold, Frank Kceiic, Fred
Kceno, Claude Whitney and Arthur
Whitney, testified to having pui chased
Intoxicants on Sunday nt one or tho
other of these places.
No defense whatever was offered In
the Ruff case and tho rule to revoke the
license was mudo absolute. In most of
tho other cases the defense contented
Itslt with n cross-examination of the
complalnant'H witnesses. Lynott went
on the stand and swore that tho allega
tion against him was untrue and that
at the hearing' In Alderman Millar's
ofilco tho league's witnesses failed to
Identify him.
TO REVOKE LICENSES.
The rulo to revoke tho license of
Elizabeth Reese was discharged when
Attorney O'Rrlen showed that tho peti
tion alleged she sold Illegally In tho
Fifth wnrd, while tho records of the
court prove sho has a license in the
Fifth ward. Tho rulo to revoke tho
Noriis llccnso was also discharged,
upon it being proven by Attorney
O'Malley that the license wns not In
NoniM name on tho date In which it is
alleged liquor was Illegally sold at his
place.
Tito defendants were represented by
Attorneys O'Hrlcn & Martin, Hon. C.
P. O'Malley, Clarence Balentlne, Frank
13. Doyle, M. J. Donohue and John B.
Jordan.
Tho cases continued were those In
which nttacks were made on licenses
held by tho following: James J. Pad
don, P. II. Durkln, c. A. Cole, John
Swallow, Harry Howard, George Prok
opovitcb, J. McWllllnms, Antol Golln
ski, Adelbcrt Reynolds, George W.
Evans, Martin P, Judge, 11. A. Thomas.
The hearing in the matter of fixing
tho compensation of the sheriff for
feeding prisoners was put over until today.
Decision in Mulley Estate.
In an opinion filed In the Lackawan
na orphans' court by Judge Freas, of
Luzerne, specially presiding', tho de
murrer of tho heirs of the late Ambrose
Mulley to tho petition of tho executor,
George Mulley, to sell the store business
Is sustained, and tho executor must
continue to conduct it for the benefit of
the estate.
The will provides that the business
shall bo closed up and tho proceeds di
vided among the children. The latter
could not agree on the details of the
matter of converting the business into
cash, and the executor went into or
phans' court with a petition for per
mission to sell it outright. The heirs
would not all agree to this and a de
murrer was the consequence.
Judge Freas was called upon to pre
side in the case because of Judge Vos
burg having been interested as an at
torney tit the time of his elevation to
the bench.

that we should be piotid of the fact tint we hate
tetercd our lelations with that body.
Secondly, they fitithcr state that by our actions
wo hate delayed the settlement of the piccnt
stilKe. Now- we ask the public's canellil JutU
ment of tho followiinr. Time upon time vatious
niembcis hate endevtored to get a hearing, lut
met with a flat iefti.il each instance on the nib
Ject of hat in" a new committee! appointed to
inteiw'cw Mr. Silliman and endeavor to teceite
or eeuic a pioposltlcn to be gh en UiioiirIi the
executive boaul to Hie senoial botly. l'uttlier
iiioie wc h.tte asked for itemized accounts often,
but could neter receive only a uieic statement.
Is It any wonder wc became thoiougly aroused
to tho fact that only the clioscn few had ncccss
to what was, and is the ptlvilese ot etciy mem
ber in any organization! lltvo wo no light to
appeal 1 to the common instinct of moial nuht?
hhotdd we as citirens and reputable union me-i
be compelled to li.uo our locd cues suffer?
When cveiy mm who is not witli us hnuw.s in
his he.ut ho is sttppoiting an unjust and sinful
caite.
In (lie fli it paiagiaph they also stale we bate
delajed a settlement of the stiil.c. Ihe stiike
was oiiginally called on account of the dUchaigu
of two men whom tiie Scranton Railway com
pany tlitl not wi-li to Keep in their employ, nnd
we defy the executiic boaitl or any member of
Local t'nloii No. 10S to eV'uy the s.'iue. Now,
howcicr, they cut tliee two nieii niidc to light
their own bailie in a, legal nianner. Viiis being
tine, is it houoiablc lo lning;up an eutliely new
and foieign issue! and continue this strike when
the main cause and i3sno was set aside months
ago. They slate that our lnoiement lias not in
any way damaged their piescnt condition, but
his, on the contrary, gieally sticugtliencd it.
His any child etcr lead such nonsense? And so
many conliadittions, K'.illy wo think their nilh 1c
would be awarded flut pii.c at any ciicus, for
a leal clowny act, for they acknowledge llially
that we hate caused the union hum by our ac
tions, and light on top, or latlier following the
same, they plainly stale we have strengthened it.
Once inoic'we say, why don't jou pnbli-li Jut
what jou mean? ruitheiuiore they say wc have
been .i bone of contention to the union eter
since its oiigin. Tins eeiy intelligent man
Knows cannot be due, when they have repeatedly
published that all members aie film and sol Ul
in tin- lanKs. 'Jliis shows up another untruth.
If am man is dishonorable, who endeavois to
hae, and inaKe peace .in u community and does
his utmost to suppoit his family, then, and then
only aie we willing to lie Judged. We aie sup
polling our families now, and endeavoiing to
liquidate our iiidebtceluc, to those who have so
klndlj- and chautably aviated Us at homo as well
as our cause, as loiur as thej" Knew we weic- in
the light, and wc shall continue to woik and
get otlieis to woik as long as we Know that no
houoiablc settlement can be seemed by the ind
ent existing executive boaitl,
Tbeicfoio we al: cieiy lute union nun, and
eteiy cUb-cn, to n'de on the ens tlieieby aiding
us diieetly and suppoit con-ei)iiently those at

He Threw Reilly Twice in Music

Joseph Uempsey, of Dunmore, last
night defeated Thomas llellly, of Belle

in Musio hall for the gate receipts,
which were considerable, as the hall
was pretty well tilled with a rather
noisy ciowd of supporters of both men.

pounds. Dempsey xuis easily the cle'
erest of the two and though downed
(ho lirst time by Rellly, he threw the
latter twice In succession with com
parltlve ease. Ai. Rose acted as re
feree or the match.
Fred Marks, of Brooklyn, a. well
known heavyweight wrestler, xvos In
the crowd, and offered to throw both
Dempsey and Rellly twice each in an
hour for $100, but thu offer was not
taken up. Marks has challenged Dan
Mcheod for a match befoie the Scrnn

not been accepted a.s yet.
