on Election
MANY CREDIT SEEKERS !
Results That Show the Good Effect of
Thorough Organization for Work In
Local and Other Campaigns.
The election is over, but It will take
some time for Its effects to pass awny.
Tne Democrats are, quite naturally, very
disconsolate and the Cltlzeas are pro
portionately jubtlnnt. It is now tli at the
men who "did the work that counted"
are appearing, and they are very numer
ous. It would take a census enumerator
to enroll them. As usual, a large num
ber of the claimants are not bona
fide. The men who were of actual
service are tound among the silent
guard; few In number, but strong in in
fluence. They generally carry their
honors modestly. Among these men is
William T. Trezlse, one of the present
School Directors of the Third ward. It can
be said without fear of contradiction that,
no man in the borough worked harder
and more persistent for the success of the
Citizens ticket in the campaign just closed
than the gentleman named, and there was
hardly an important move made in any
of the wards that did not owe either its
origin or propulsion to some idea, or
labor, on his part. It is regretted that
the majority of the Citizens party is not
constituted of such wide-awake, active,
diligent and untiring workers as Mr
Trezlse. If such were the case there
would never be any doubt about the
selection and election of suitable men to
take charge of the borough's iutcrests. It
should also be Said of this gentleman
that, while he Is a party worker, he is
liberal and displays judgment which is
about as faultless as most men are en
dowed wltu. To his judgment much is
due for the election of such trustworthy
men as T. It. Edwards, J. J. Price and T.
S. James to the School Board. It i
ventured that a more competent and
eitimable trio has never been elected to
the Board.
The Democrats were not "in it" In the
Second ward from the time the polls
opened to the close. They had bm 40
straight votes, while the Citizens party
had 173. Tiie real fight here was between
P. J. Ferguson and F. E. Magargle. The
rest of the ticket seemed to drift with thl
part of the Couucilmanic result. The
surprising majority given to the Citizens
candidates can be accounted for in many
ways. These candidates were asslstodma
terially from what became known as "a
bank fight." To the uninitiated there
should be some enlightenment on till
point. Mr. Ferguson is the president of
the First National Bank, which haa held
the deposits of the borough treasurers for
many years. Recently the Merchants'
National Bank has shown a disposition
to become the depository of the borough's
funds.und when arrangements were made
for the election the friends of the latter
bank were not blind to its interests. This
light explains the influence openly turned
in favor of the Citizens candidates on
election day by the Bradlgan faction, Mr.
Bradigan, the present borough treasurer,
being one of the Merchants' Bank stock
holders. One of the excellent rebultB of the elec
tion In the Fifth ward to the Citizens
party Is the capture of the election board.
The oldest inhabitant suys it has always
been Democratic. John Leuahuu has been
the Judge of Election for many years.aud
to htm vacating the position Is much like
abandoning a houietead. Larry Culleu's
defeat for Aseossor In that ward has an
effect similar to that oauBed by Mr.
Lenuhan's retirement. Larry has been
Assessor for several years and is well
spoken of by people of both political
pariiei, but lie was obliged to go down
before the cyclone as the people would
not discriminate when at the polls. The
defeat of II. J. Muldoon, the Democratic
candidate for School Director, was a big
surprise to his iriends. They did nut
thiuk the split In the party would affect
him to the extent that it did. Harry con
ceded his defeat by 28 votes shortly after
the polls closed and long before theoouut
was made. He was not far from the
correct figure, which was 10. Ilu feels
hore over his defeat, but a stranger would
not think so, lie smiles as ever.
The luckiest man of all the successful
Democrats was Patrick Conner, of the
Fourth ward. Itamadb his ilrst appear
an ce as a pollttWtl candidate last Tues
day and will probably remember the
contest as one of the most exalting experi
ences of his life. It was also the first
political experience of his opponent,
Henry L. Jones. That gentlemau dis
played a strength at both the primary
and election that showed him to be a very
strong man. Ills strength surprised
many,
The olose observer can discern a
benefitting Influence for the Citizens
party lrom a source- which has received
attention from but few. This source ws
in the precincts of the friends of P. J.
Mulholland, who was defeated by Mr.
Severn for Controller. l'hey fouud an
opportunity on Tuesday to get a whack
at some people whom they believe failed
to stnnd up for Mr. P. J. M. when that
gentlemau was aspiring to supervise the
accounts of the county. Politics mnke
strange bed fellows.
The Polish and Lithuanian element was
a very important factor at several of the
poll". They were out opeuly for the Citi
zens ticket ihls spring, and many were
noticed with their sleeves rolled up to the
Bhoulder. Still, quite a number stood by
the Democratic tickets, evidently im
pressed with the idea that sometime thev
may become recipients of some patronage
from Washington, D. C.
If the Citfxens party Is discrete and
judicious lu uie management of the bor
ough affairs ft can hold a lease on it for
years to com?. There is no doubt that a
great many Democrats are so thoroughly
disgusted wifjh their party in all affairs,
local, state and national, that with evl
dencj of a disposition to do what ts right
by the party In power will almost convert
them. An honest, fair and straightfor
ward administration will eventually kill
the Tiger that has been preying upon the
town.
In discussing the causes and effects of
the campaign nod the influence that
brought them about the Slunandjah
Republican League should not be lost
from sight. This body has effectually
demonstrated what can be accomplished
by thorough organization. The Borough
Auditor, three School Directors, three
Councilnieu jund two of the Assessors
elected are among its members.

THE BOARD
UNDER ARREST I
Steps in the
First Ward
Cases.
Election
THREE MEN UNDER BAIL.
The Judge and Inspector of Election
and the Ward Constable Waive a
Hearing on the Charges.
The First ward election case was
brought to a focus last night by proceed
ings before Justice Martin Lawlor, Insti
tuted by the ejected Overseers.
Messrs. F. C. Iteese and Maurice Morri
son went before the Justice and swore out
warrants for the arrest of two members
of the election board, Martin Mullahy,
the Judge, and Martin Lally, the In-
nector. and constable of the ward. Two
f the accused men were at once arrested.
Lally waived a hearing and entered $300
ball for trial at court, William McGulre,
the president of the Town Council, fur
nlshlng the bond. Constable Glblin also
waived n hearing, and John Slattery
furnished bail for him.
The warrants were issued at the
instance of T. R. Beddall, Esq., who has
been employed as counsel by the prosecu
tors and who will have the assistance of
other able counsel to help the Common
wealth when the cases are brought up for
trial.
The specific charge made against
Mullahy and Lally is as follows : "That
when, on Tuesday, February !9th, 1S95,
they did present to the election officers of
the First ward of the borough of Shen.
andoah the certificate of their appoint
ment us Overseers of the election held in
the said First ward of Shenandoah, on the
day and ysar above written, Martin
Mullahy, Judge, and Martin Lally, the
minority Inspector, of the said district,
did refuse to permit them to perform the
duties enjoined upon them, contrary to
the Act of Assembly nude and provided."
The warrant upon which the constable
was arrested is in substantially the same
form, and recites that he ejected the
Overseers from the electors' room and re
fused to permit them to be present, etc.
Judge of Election Mullahy appeared
before Justice Lawlor this morning and,
like the others, waived a hearing and
entered $300 ball. Tax Collector Scanlan
furnished the security.
EXPLOSION AT WM. PENN.

An explosion of gas occurred In a breast

residents of town.
Jnmes received burns about the face,
Adrick was burned about the face and
neck and Kupchlnskl had his head
scorched.
It is not known exactly how the ex
plosion occurred. The three men entered
the breast, with the lire boss in
the lead and after they ascended some
distance the explosion occurred, it was
supposed the place was free of gas. The
explosion was a light one. The gas ts

be created by ordinance. To give an
ordinance force it must be read be
