The Democrats held their ward pri
maries last nUht und named their ward
candidates and conferrees for the spring
election in four of the Ave wards. In
the Third ward no nominations were
made for Council or School Director. The
vacancies were evidently left open to
await the result of the Citizens primary
n that ward to night.
The hardest fight lust night was in the
Fifth ward, where a hard and successful
content was made against the re nomtna-
tionof Councilman E. J. Gallagher. There
were three candidates and considering the
fight made against him Gallagher made
an excellent run.
It 1b geuerally believed that Gallagher's
defeat is a grievioui mistake on the part
the Fifth ward Democrats, as he has
been the hardest working Councilman
urlng the past year in connection with
the public water works aud has won
compliments from people of all factions
for his fidelity to the interests of the
project.
The School Director was also a bone of
bitter contention In the Fifth ward,
Thomas McGuire having worked burd to
defeat the re-nomlnatlon of H. J. Mul-
doon, but the latter emerged from the
contest with good lead.
Martin Fa hey put up a fight against
he re-nomination of William McGuire,
the present chairman of the Dorough
Council, but Fahey did not prov as good
sprinter in the politic il Held as he is
on the cinder path and McGuiie distanced
him.
There was no flghtof any strength pat
up in any1 of the wards as to the election
f conferrees, all the interest being cen
tered on the Council and School Board
fights. The results of the primaries point
to the nomination of P. J. Toole as the
candidate for High Constable.
The attendances at the First, Fourth
and Fifth ward primaries were very large
and despite the extreme cold weather
people hovered about the poll windows
with the same interest that is manifested
In regular elections.
The defeat of Martin Fahy was her
aided in some quarters as a blow against
Inspector Monaghan, but the latter and
his friends ridicule this. They say that,
lthough the 'squire voted for Fahey, he
urged the latter not to become a candl'
date. Friendship between the two is very
trong and the Inspector's vote went to
Fahey on that account and not because
f any political preference.
John McGrail was elected chairman by
acclamation in the First ward and he
named Richard Ormsby, Thomas Conners,
Jr., and Martin Lally as conferree. They
will vote for P. J. Toole for High Con
stable in the borough convention. Frank
Hanna, the present secretary, of the
School Board, was re-nomiuated for
School Director for three years by ac
clamation. In the contest for the Coun
cilmaulc nomination the vote resulted as
follows: McGuire, 192; Fahey, 73. For
Assessor P. J. Devers received 1G8 votes
aud James Cook 09. Martin Mullahy was
nomiuated for Judge of Election and
Martin Lally for Inspector, by acclama
tion.
In the Second ward P. J. Ferguson was
nominated far Council for three years
and J. K. P. Scbeilly wai nominated for
one year, to 1111 tue unexpired term oi
John F. Finney, who has become a resi
dent of Pottsvllle. Timothy Lynch . was
re nominated for the three-year term on
the School Board. The chairman ap
pointed Patrick Devlin, John Murphy
and Patrick Gibbons as conferrees to the
borough convention. The following nom
inations werealsomade: Killian O'Neill,
Judge of Ejection; T. Devlin, Inspector;
William Delowry, Assessor.
The Third ward piimary waB butsllmly
attended, only a total of 42 votes being
oast. Thomas Dulto'i received 27 votes
for chairman and James MoAteo received
15. Mr. Dtiltou appointed John Burns,
John J. Delaney and P. J. Dalton as con
ferrees and they are Instructed to voto for
P. J. Toole for High Constable in the
Borough convention. Thomas E. Ilellly
was uominated for Inspector of Election
No other nominations were made.
In the Fourth ward Mark Burke was
defeated for re nomination for School
Director. Patrick Conners received 13"
votes and Burke received 115. James
Foley was nominated for Council 4by J53
votes. John P. Cardeu received 00. Jon

celvlug 100 votes, against Adam Smith,
who received 05. The election for

receiving 128 votes and James Matthews

The Fifth ward primary opened with
the election for chairman, in which Peter
Toole received 122 votes and James Mc
Hale got 82. John Lenahan, Peter Hnr
kins and John O'Donnell were named as
the conferrees. The result of the contest
for the nomination lor Councilman was
I as follows: Edward Murphy, 112; E. F.
I Gallagher, 88; Thomas McCormick, 81.

The friends of E. J. Gallagher were
loud in their denunciation of that gen
tleman's detent to day and from remarks
dropped by them it would not bo surpris
ing to hear of some arrests for fruudsat
the Fifth ward primary. They claim
that from 20 to 30 young men under age

two young men about eighteen years of
age, wont into Schoener's restaurant on
Wefet Centre fctreet, at about two o'clock
this morning, and after partaking of two
oyster Mews walked out without paying
for them. Schoener called the youug men
back aud reminded them that they bad
forgotten to settle. They did not appear
surprised, uud flatly refused to pay,
(Thereupon a policeman was called. They
went back to the restaurant, but no
amount of persuasion could induce them
to make a settlement and all parties
went to Justice Williams' office. Mc
Grath and Malone were prosecuted for
fraud and after a hearing were committed
o the lockup in default of $200 ball. At
the lockup both young men Bhowed fight
and Officer O'Hara was obliged to sum
mon assistance to get them into the cells.
At about five o'clock this morning
Officer O'Hara went to the lockup to make
his final call before going home and found
that his arrival was in the nick of time to
prevent the prisoners from escaping.
Malone had broken the flooring of his cell
and was endeavoring to get into the drain
through which so many prisoners have
escaped during the past few months.
The officer then placed n guard over
McGrath aud took Maloue before Justice
Williams again, where a charge of malt-
clous mischief was preferred. The ac
cused was unable to furulsn 5200 ball and
was again committed. At noon to day
