ELECTION NOTES
Hone of the Curious Torui Takeu by Kvents
On Flection Day
The First ward gave its old-time Re
publican majority, Carswell leading,
however, by a gain of forty votes. Mr.
Rose also led his ticket by forty votes.
Here also occurred the triangular Alder
manic fight, but with no change from the
usual result.
In the Second ward there was nothing
unusual except that Carswell led hie
ticket by over twenty votes.
In the Third the contest narrowed it
self principally to the fight for School
Controller. Hete the vote for that office
stood 60 to 57 in favor of Mr. Fronbeiser,
but the Election Board, having refusad
him a vote because he acknowledged that
he was new serving as School Director
from the Second ward, they also denied
him the certificate of election, which was
given to Mr. Woodruff.
In the Fourth ward Mr. Rose gained
considerably over the regular Democratic
vote of the ward.
In the Fifth ward Dr. Conrad, Mi.
Hoerle and Dr. Wakefield all gave their
opponents an uncomfortably close chase
for the two branches of Council, and
School Controller respectively. Here, too
both Rose and Carswells were ahead of
the rest of their ticket.
In the Sixth ward Mr. Rose reversed
the usual Republican majority, while Mr.
Carswell was far in the kail. Hern also
Mr. Charles M. Swank, the Democratic
caudidate for Select Couucil, gained about
fifty voles ou his opponent Mr. Alex Ken
nedy. A change of tweuly-four more
Votes would have elected Mr. Swank.
Mr. Kuntz for City Assessor atso|made a
great gain, it being his ward.
The vole of the Seventh ward was a
surprise to Democrats and Republicans.
There the element of greatest uncertainty
was the vote of the new accession to the
city—Moxham. The Democrats guinea
largely by the addition.
The Eighth ward unexpectedly gave
the Democrats a member ol ilie Sekct
Council.
The vote in the Ninth ward was very
nearly on party lines, Mr. West gaining
several votes for City Assessor and foi
School Controller, it being t lie ward in
which lie lives. Carswell also gained
several vote-.
Iu the Ten'h ward the Republicans
made no nominations but Messrs. Mai
thews and Murray, indi peuueiil Demo
cratic candidate for Common Council ana
School Controller respicuvely wen
elected over tlie tegular nominees.
In the Eleventh ward ilie D.-mocrats
lost tlie two Council men. while elect
ing most of the rest of the r ticket.
To the Democratic nominations in the
Twelfth ward there was no oppos lion. L
being Mr. O'Toole's home, he gained
somewhat, as did Mr. Dowling also.
Iu the Thineenlh ward uere was a de
parture of several voles fioin party line
tor • ommon Council aud Suunol Con
troller, the Democrats being the gainers.
The Fourteenth ward gave a decided
gain lor Dowling, and a smaller gam foi
Rose.
The Fifteenth ward had one ticket i
the field for ward offices— uie Democratic.
Here 8. M. Miller hud a gain oi uuoo
eight votes, wlnlt tlie three Democratic
candidates fur Assessor each loot 124
votes, evidently a straight vote tor thai
office.
Two ward tickets, composed almost
entirely of Democrats couieoe t for rue
mastery ot the 8 xteeutii ward. Mr.
August Hamer, Republican cmdidale for
City Asses-or here gaii.ed aboiil llint
votes, wii.le S. M. Miller gained ahull
eighty.
Tlie election pass- d off in a very order
ly maimer, uolwittisian-ing tn- earucs
canvassing. More interest was fell in ii
than any election that has be-n licul here
for some time.
The defeated candidates aeeepie-l the
situation gracefully, and of course l lie sue.

MAKKTLNU A RICH GIRL.
Uow a lirlglit Hut Penniless Youth Won a
Del of Fifty Dollars.
Speaking of wealthy autl preliy young
ladies, there was a rather remark hie mar
riage here a short while ago, writes the
Washington correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution. A bright toung ntan, with
absolutely no money, came here to fill a
position paying $1.20 lor $1,500, which
the average department clerk receives.
Sborily after his arrival he said to a party
of friend* in talking at a wine supper:
"Boys. I tltint see any use in having to
work wli n there aie hundreds of rich
and pretty girls here who can be gotten
by -er> lit.lc more than the asking. I'm
going to marry one. I don't care much
who site is, just so she's good looking and
rolling in wealth "
Latter in the evening, after three or four
lml tics of the yellow label had been con
sumed. the young man referred to above
made a bet of $5O with one of his compan
ions who had been guying him, that with
.n iwelvi months he would have married
-itch a girl. The bet was drawn up, and
he paper stipulated that the gitl must
not have less t hau $500,000, either as her
own or her patents should he worth a suf

lie sipped a glass of wine. " She's got

NO 44-
I THK KOAI) LAW CANNOT STAND.
| It I. Spuria! Leglilation, and MI Contrary to
the Constitution.
| Tbe road law which was passed by the
I State Legislature in 1887, and the consti
tutionality of which has been in the courts
for some time, was declared unconstitu
tional bv the Supreme Court on Monday
i i an opinion filed by Justice Williams.
The act provides principally for the taking
of land for road purposes in cities of the
first class and for the assessment of dam
ages, and the constitutional question
arose as to the right of the Legislature to
thus make special provision for certain
localities in the Slate in the face of the
constitutional prohibition of special legis
lation.
" In order that a given act may escape
the charge of being a local law," runs the
decision, "it is necessary that it should be
'applicable to all the members of the class
to which it relates, and be directed to the
existence and regulation of municipm
powers and to matters of local govern'
mcnl." A law that will bear the appli
cation of this test is within tbe purposes
fcr which classification was designed, and
therefore constitutional. A law that will
not bear its application is local, and
offends against the constitution."
It is then stated that the provisions of
the act of 1887 relate wholly to certain
iudicial processes referring to land con
demnation, and not at all to municipal ad
ministration, and that the law is therefore
unconstitutional. Tbe first two sections
of ihe act, however, are believed by the
court to be constitutional. Chief Justice
Paxson and Justice Mitchell think the
whole act unconstitutional. A dissenting
opinion was died by Justices Paxson and
Mitchell.
DEATH OF UK. HENKV O'HARA
After a Long JIIIIPHS He at Laat Share* the
Common Fate.
Mr. Henry O'Hara, a very aged and
highly respected citizen of Munster town
ship, this county, died at his residence
neur Munster Station on Tuesday morn
ing. He had long been enfeebled by old
age and at times suffered considerably.
Au attack of the influenza proved too
much for his time worn system. His age
was about uinety years.
Mr. O'Hara was born and spent his'
whole life upon the farm on which he
died. His wife, who has been dead a
number of years, was a descendant of the
McUuire families that flrst settled Cum
bria county. He leaves three children—
Frank, who lives on his father's farm,
Mrs. Mary Farren and Mrs. A. J. Ander
son, of Altoona.
The time of the funeral has not been
learned, but it will probably be this morn
ng. The remains will be interred in the
Catholic Cemetery at Loretto, after ser
vices in St. Michael's Church.
Thus Foure Girt Babies.

Imbics whose arrival created such excite
ment here some time ago, was in the city
to-day. The little ones are now more
