DECISION IN
EVANS FAVOR
ANOTHER STEP TAKEN IN POOR
BOARD CASE.
trudge Edwards, Who Some Time Ago
Decided In the Dickort Case That
tho Ofllco of Poor Director Is Elect
ive, Now Decides Thnt It Is Pon
Dlble to Hold a Vnlld Election In
the Territory THnt Wns Onco
Known ns tho Borough; of Hyde
Park.
Tho poor board nnidtlle Is prnetlcolly
calved. In nn opinion handed down
yesterday President Judge II. M. Ed
wards decided that It Is possible to
hold a valid election for poor director
In the territory comprised In the old
Hyde Park borough nnd that James A.
Kvnns Is entitled to the office now
held by Dr. XV. A. Pnlnc, and to which
lie was elected last February. The
opinion to the respondent's answer In
the quo warranto proceedings ot tho
commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex. rel,
XV. n. Lewis, district attorney, vs. XV.
A. Palnc.
Heretofore In the Dcckcrt case Judge
Kdwurds decided that the office Is elec
tive and the decision of yesterday
shows that Hyde Park can locally elect.
It now remains for the claimants from
the other districts to show, if they
run. thai It Is possible to conduct a
legal flection In them. It Is believed,
however, that the original lines of tho
other districts have been so effaced that
n If pal election Is no lonRer possible
and the office will have to be filled by
appointment until there is some legis
latlon that will remedy the existing
condition of affairs.
The opinion handed down by Judge
Edwards yesterday follows:
The Opinion.
This cause whs heard on demurrer to
the answer of respondent. H.v a well
known rule of pleading, tho matters that
arc properly nvr-rred in respondent's mi
swer must be taken ns admitted. It fol
lows, there-lore, that thorn ! not, and
could not lie. any disputed question of
fact to lie considered by us in our dls-cus-sitm
of the (iiestloa now before u.J.
Threo rincstlons only require our con
Plderatlon: (1) ts tin- office of poor direc
tor elective under the legislation applic
able to the Scranton Poor district? (2)
Is it possible to hold a legal election for
poor director In the district comprising
the former borough of Hydn Park? IR)
If the office U elective and a legal elec
tion lie possible, should the election bo
Iiold In February?
T. I the office of poor director elective?
Tills question has been squarely decided
liv us in the rase of Commonwealth ex
Tel., etc.. vs. Diekrrt. 193 Pa. 231. For a
lull discussion of this point we refer to
our opinion In that case. In our judg
ment tho question Is res ailjiullrat.i.
II. Is Is possible to bold a legal election
for poor director in the district compris
ing the former borough of Ifyde 1'nrk?
It appears to us that this is the only
question of any Importance In the present
discussion.
The Hyde Park borough was incorpor
ated by act of assembly in 1S32. The
whole, borough constituted one election
district and therefore bad only one poll
ing place. Tb" Scranton Poor district
was Incorporated by act. of April !, 1Sf2,
P. 1j. 352. Section '.'0 of tills act provides
that the borough of Hyde Park may at
any time elect to become a part of the
poor district. Tho borough availed itself
of this privilege and became a part of
the Scranton Poor district in 1802, and was
entitled to elect one director of the poor.
The City Incorporated.
In 1SCG the city of Scranton was Incor
porated uniting several municipal bodies,
among them the borough of Hyde Park.
In the course of time and with tho growth
of population, new wards and election
districts, of the city of Scranton were
created, so that after awhile Scranton
had twenty-one wards and many more
election precincts. How did these changes,
the multiplication of wards and election
districts, affect the old borough of Ilvrio
Park? Did they affect it any further
than to increase the opportunities for the
electors living within the limits of the
former borough to exercise the elective
fiimchlsc?
If this was the only result, what dif
ference did It make whether the elector"
voted at one polling place or at twentv?
"What me the facts on this point? The
territory comprising the borough was
Jltiiilly carved into six wards, viz., the
Fourth, Fifth. Sixth. Fourteenth, Fif
teenth and KlKliteeiilh. These wards in
cluded tho whole borough, no more, no
less. These conditions existing, wo see no
reason why the electorate of these six
ward could not have elected a poor di
rector from time to time.
nut it Is claimed that a new complica
tion has arisen by ihe annexation of a
part of Lackawanna township to the city
of Scranton. This was done In ISM. The
annexed part became tho Thhd district of
the Sixth ward, By mistake tho electors
in tills Third district voted for poor di
rector. They had no right to do this,
because the district was no part of the
Scranton Poor district, They were ev.
dmitly misled by the fact that tho Scran-

been rlono by general consents but this
fact has no place In tho present discus
slnn. It Is entirely Immaterial und doca
nul affect tho Issue cither way.
Not a Complication.
Wo do not consider the annexation of
tho territory aforesaid In the light of n
complication. Tho annexed part comtl
tilted a aeparato election district. Tho
Vote for poor director from this election
district should not hnve 'been computed
by thn court last February. If our atten
tion nnd been railed to the matter we
would have refused to Include tho vote
In tho general compulation. Hut why
should tho electors of tho former borough
ot Hydn Park, which now nnd at tho
time, ot thn election, consisted of tho
Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and
Eighteenth wards, and the First and Sec
ond districts of tho Sixth ward, ho dis
franchised bccaue thn voters ot que elec
tion district voted for tho office ot poor
director without warrant of law? Tho
returns from nil the election dlslrlcts
constituting the wholo of thn former
borough of llydo Park were before us and
wero computed, nnd they show thnt
.lanjea A. Kvnns had a clear majority of
tho votes cast.
Tho only way In which an election could
ho modo Impossible by a chango ot elec
tion districts, or an Increase In their
number, would bo by tho exclusion ot
voters residing within tho limits of the
former borough by reason of their being
attached to another election precinct not
a part of the borough territory. For In
stance, a part of what Is now tho Fourth
ward could have been ndded to the Tweti-ty-tlrst
word, the latter ward being out
side of the limits of the llydo Park bor
ough. If this had been done it would be
Impossible for tho electors living in the
territory ndded to the Twenty-first ward
to veto for poor director, becauso they
could not vote in two places. Such a
chango would dlsfranchlio tho voters and
would, In our judgment, destroy tho In
tegrity of the borough poor district so as
to make a valid election therein impos
sible. Wo therefore conclude that It was
possible to hold a legal election for tho
office of poor director last February in
the territory comprising tho former bor
ough of llydo Park.
Election at Itlght Time.
II r. Was the election held at tho right
time? We find no difficulty In answering
this question In tho affirmative. Accord
ing to the act incorporating the borough
of Tlydo Park the elections were to be
held on the second Tuesday of March in
each year. Tho burgess and town coun
cil wero also Intrusted with the charge
of the poor and with tho power to levy
and collect taxes for their support. The
act Incorporating thn Scranton Poor dis
trict provides that thn boroughs coming
into the poor district shall elect the poor
directors at the "usual spring election."
It appears that previous to 1871 local
elections wero held at various times In
the year throughout the state. March
seems to have been the most favored
period, although April is found in somo
local acts and Pittsburg once elected its
mayor in December. The constitution,
Artlclo VIII. section 8, made the time for
holding municipal elections uniform
throughout the state: "All elections for
city, ward, borough and township offi
cers for regular terms of service shall be
held on the third Tuesday of February."
Taking into consideration tlie fact that
borough and township officers in many
cases had charge of the poor n,ud levied
taxes for their support, and that many
townships elect overseers of the poor, wn
think that poor directors of the Scranton
Poor district come within the constitu
tional provision and must be elected, If
elected at all, at thn February election.
We cannot overlook the nature of the
duties poor directors are called on to
perform, as well as tho powers they exer
cise. These duties and powers are prop
erly within the domain ot municipal func
tions. All in the Affirmative.
The three questions propounded by us
are answered in tho affirmative.
Counsel for respondent, suggest that by
sustaining the demurrer an anomalous
condition will be created. The poor board
will be in part appointive and in part
elective. If the Hyde Park borough dis
trict can elect and the other districts
cannot elect a poor director, there will be
one director elected and six appointed.
This only emphasizes the necessity of
corrective legislation. Results of this
character cannot be considered when a
question is before us for judicial inter
pretation. The remedy is with the legis
latuie. For the reasons stated In this opinion
the demurrer of the relator to the amend
ed answer of respondent is sustained and
Judgmont of ouster is given against the
defendant, with costs.
In all probability an appeal to the
supremo court will be taken in the ease.
All our regular correspondents are
instructed, and our friends in all parts
of the county are requested to send in
tonight's returns promptly, by 'phone
where possible, otherwise by wire.
VICTIM OP SHOOTING AFFRAY.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Under this heading short letters of in

panied, for publication, by the writer's
name, Tho Tribune does not assume re
sponsibility for opinions here expressed,
Makes Votes for Republican Ticket.
Editor of Tho Tribuno-
Hlr: It's really amusing to read the
trash printed for the last few days in
that yellow sheet, called tho Times.
Tho editor of that sower sheet must bo
off his base, or he thinks that tho work
logmen are very easily misled, when he
filU up his columns with such bunkum.
Tho old saying, "Make hay while tho sun
shines," has been verified in his case,
Tho sun shone bright on him when thn
clouds wero hanging thick over tho heads
of tho worklngmen, and In order to bene
fit by the occasion, he rushed out thous
ands of extra copies daily to catch tho
last penny In tho possession of the strik
ers, who were at tho tini'o lighting the
battlo of their lives, and who wero anxi
ous to find out tho latest developments
pertaining to the striko. This wily editor
know of their anxiety, and catered for
it in great shape. Edition after edition
appeared with nothing In It, but big
prominent headlines, which wero purely
and simply the concoction (such as wo
are getting today) of this wily editor.
Some editions would state In largo loi
ter "gotUemcnt ot tho Strike," or such

like, and after reading nearly the whole
of the front page, you would Unci in a
small corner about three lines, stating the
big headlines were not true. But I pre
sumo It served his purpose, inasmuch as
the striker had to spend his penny be
fore he could find out the fabrication.
Now this fellow has the gall to try and
instruct people who know their business
better than ho can tell them, as to how,
and for whom to cast our votes today.
He will find out tomorrow morning that
wo are advocates of prosperity and havo
no use for the teaching of a lot of retro
grades, and will therefore cast our votes
for tho straight Republican ticket.
Judge Vosburg's campaign has been run
by his enemy unawares to him. The edi
tor of tho yellow sheet knows in ids
heart that Vosburg is beyond comparison
the superior candidate for judge, and has
therefore decided to leave its columns
open for every hottentot to rush In under
a nora do plume, -which is tho very best
method possible to secure votes for Vos
burg. The editor may understand it from
me that wo bellevo in the motto of our
country, "In God we trust." and have
no intention of electing sceptics.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Lilfc out of doors nnd out of tlie games which they play nnd the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which Is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative Is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen tlie internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which tho little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, Its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
' Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines arc not needed, and when nature needs
assistance In the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality Is duo not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be

SEVENTY-FIVE TONS A MINUTE.
Over 5,000 Tons of Iron Ore Loaded
in an Hour All Ore-Loading Rec
ords on the Great Lakes Are
Broken.
Iron ore was loaded Saturday at tho
Chicago and Northwestern docks at
Ashland, "Wis., at tho tremendous rate
of speed of 0,000 tons' an hour. The
exact figures were 5,202 tons in one
hour and eight minutes, the ore be
ing loaded into the steamer James H.
Hoyt, which is built with a special
view to rapid loading and unloading.
The Northwestern Line lias two big
ore docks at Ashland, each one of them
about one-third of a, mile long, and it
was at one of these large storage docks
that the Hoyt received its load in record-breaking
time. Supt. Sampson, of
tlie Northwestern personally supervised
tho loading, and several newspaper men
witnessed it and corroborated the cor
rectness of tlie record. The last ore
was let into tlie hold, and the lines
were cast off In record-breaking time,
in fact, the engineer of the boat hardly
found time to get the water ballast
out of the vessel.
This rapid work Is made possible by
the exceptional facilities of the North
western line. Large capacity cars and
big docks with large storage capacity
have made the handling of tremendous
quantities of ore possible. The docks
of the Northwestern lino at Ashland
and Escanaba have n capacity exceed
ing that of any other line In the Lake
Superior region, to which is to be add

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
Now York, Nov. 3. Movements in tlie
stock market today wero characterized by
the various iiillucnces incidental to elec
tion week, together with other and per
haps moro potent reasons. Sterling ex
change reached tho highest point in the
present movement, somo demand bills be
ing sold at -1S7. which is within a quarter
of a cent of the figure at which gold can
admittedly be exported proiltably. The
rise in exchange was doubtless in a great
measure responsible for the check on
stock market operations, though tho vol
utno of business for the day was not
lower than for some days past. Open
ing prices were Iow.er, the greatest decline
being in Louisville and Nashville, which
sold oft over a point. Less extensive de
clines wero shown by Atchison, Baltimore
and Ohio, Missouri Pacltlc. St. Paul,
Union Pacific und Reading. The demand
for the latter stock was largo, but of
ferings wero free. Manhattan, a feature
of last week's pool operations, might
a slight fractional decline and the other
tractions wore heavy. Later In the morn
ing fresh selling pressure developed and
somo of the stocks went lower. The only
industrial Issue that displayed any activ
ity was United States Steel, tho heaviness
of which was presumably due to reports
of disturbing conditions in the steel and
iron industry. A reminder of this was
furnished by the American Tic Plato
company which announced a. material cut
in tho price of its products. Trading in
the early afternoon was even more cir
cumscribed and professional with n par
tial resumption of pool operations in a
fuw issues, cldelly Toledo, St. Louis and
"Western. In the final hour a general at
tack upon tho soft coal stock and St.
Paul brought prices to the lowest level
of the day. The rally toward tho close
suggested considerable short covering as
welt as a better view of tlie political sit
uation with tho result that a llrnier tone
was manifested at tho end. Total sales,
