New Yokk, Nov. I). Several states in
which tlio vote for President is remarkably
close cannot yet bo claimed with absolute cer
tainty cither for McKinley or llrymi. This
debatalde list includes Tennessee and Wyom
ing. Tlio table printed below allows 277
electoral votes for tho Republican nominee.
All thee are alisolutely certain, and arc con
ceded even by tho Democrats, with the ex
ception of tho threo from Wyoming. Any
change that may bo mule in this total will
bo to swell it from tho returns of the now
doubtful states. North Dakota whs assuied
to McKinley yestorday.
Kansas is retained in tho Democratic sido
of tho list, although tho latent figuios from
tho stato (jivo tho Republican? fairly good
ground for claiming it. Wyoming is certoin
to return one Republican elector, and there
seems little reason to doubt that ho will be
joined by his two colleagues.
The two parties apparently polled within
a few hundred votes of each other in Ken
tucky, and it was tho general belief late
last night that the Rluo Urns State would bo
transferred from tho doubtful to the Republi
can column.
Tennessee seemed still more likely to join
the McKinley procession, according to tho
confident cl'iims of tlio Rcpublicaneofth.it
State late last night.
South Dakota's llguresaro still incomplete
and doubtful. Neither party claims its
electoral vote by more than a few hundreds.

Mr. Urynn surrendered nt 0 .20 o'clock,
He had just received tho signal, and re

signal was a brief message from Senator
Jones chairman of the, national Demo
emtio oommltteo, informing; htm that he
did nut oonslder it wise to longer withhold
the concession of McKiuloy's election.
This message was received by Mr. Urynn
fow minutes after ho had roturuod with
his wife from ah evening stroll, and in the
presence of u dozen callers gathered in the
parlor ami reading room ol their unpre
tentious residence.
The receipt of the telegram created no
scene whatever, ami quo unnoqunlntoil
with the facts would have never fiusiiected
from tho surface indications the import

telegram:
"Senator Jones has just informed mo

While writing tlio message and after it

I LALLY TALKS ABOUT WARRANTS I
Announced That the Chief Burgess, Chair
man or the Sanitary Committee and
President of Council Would be
Arrested To-day.
A regular meeting ot the llorougli Council
was held, last night with President T. J.
James presiding and the following members
in attendance : Reese, Magargle, lloelim,
McGiiire, Lally, Kearu, D. R. James.
Strauglin and Murphy. Some liarts of the
meeting were quite spicy and the members
did not appear to be in a hurry to rush the
business. At one stage of the proceedings
Councilman Lally gave notice to ills colleagues
that if they didn't do something in connec
tion with tlio nuisance in the vicinity of the
riynn property in the First ward some of
tlicin would bo arrested. Tlio dialogue be
tween the member, I'lesldent James and
Councilman Murphy at this stago was both
interesting and amusing. President James
took advantago of the opportunity to gic
the Ilonid of Health a hard riii blow.
Theie will bo rejoicing at Turkey Rim to
night over the lesult of the meeting, us the
gallant Defender Hose Company of that part
of the borough becomes the owner of a hose
carriage. No member left the Council
Chamber last night more pleased than
Councilman K earns and while on his lonely
wiUK to tho city on the mount ho forgot en
tirely tho sorrowful results of Tuesday's
election and thought only of the rejoicing he
would cause on his stamping ground by the
announcement that tho Eorough Council had
given the Defenders an apparatus.
Mr. lioelun opened the reports of com
mittees by stating what the roads and high
ways committee had done during the past
three weeks. Ho said it fixed up Cherry
street, from Jardiu to Main, and has about
finished Main street, from Centre street to
the Lehigh Valley railroad and all crossings
east of Main street, including one at the
corner of Centre and Main and three at tho
corner of .Main aud Lloyd streets, and tho
crossing in the First wttid mentioned ill the
petition presented at the last meeting would
bo attended to as soon as the contractor could
do tlio wurk. Many crossing plates cannot
bo laid because people havo not put in curb
stones upon which to fasten them.
.Mr. Kearus said a crossing was needed at
tho corner of Oak and Ullbert streets and Mr.
McGuiro said Ilridgo stiect should las tilled
between the creek and the railroad. A dis
cussion over tho creek brought out a state
ment from President James that the Chief
Hurgess ought to see the officials of the C. &
I. and Thomas Coal Compauies in regard to
It.
Mr. lieeso, of the lire apparatus committee,
reiKirnd that the new hose wagon hsd arrived
aim k.i satisfactory and the flro alarm
njsteni was in good condition. Ho also com
mended Electrician l,awson on his work thus
far in connection with the system.
Refore .taking his seat Mr. Iteeso made this
significant announcement: "The fire appara
tus committee thinks the tiro comiianies
ought to come together and re-organize the
firo department, as it seems tho companies
are having difficulties. Thoy ought to have
better discipline and more contiol of the men
while at tires. Tlio committee proposes to
get together sumo time next week and have
a ro-organiatioii."
On motion of D. R. James tho new huso
wagon was accepted.
Mr. Kearus said he had been Informed that
the Columbia Hose Company hadn't room
for tho hose "crab" sinco the new hosowagon
has arrived and tho Defender Hoso Company
would like to havo the "crab." Mr. Iteeso
said the firo apparatus committee would
recommend the transfer and upon motion of
Mr. Lally it was decided that the Defender
Company be given tho "crab."
D. R. James stated that the polico would
bo supplied with the new overcoats to-night.
Mr. Magarglo stated that it cost the Coun
cil lastjear f03 for coal alone to heat the
borough building aud tho Columbia llrewing
Company was willing to heat It for $150.
Upon motion of 1). R. James it was decided
to accept tho oiler.
Chief llurgess Hums stated that ho and tho
Supervisor woro arrosted when they went to
tear down tlio stone wall on tho Flynn prop
erty in accordance with the resolution
adopted by Council and the case would come
up for trial at I'ottsville next Tuesday. The
report led to quite a discussion; of which tho
following is a part :
.Mr. Lally : "Did the chairman of the
sanitary committee visit the First ward
where this trouble exists?"
-Mr. Murphy : ,"No, sir."
Mr. Lally : "What Is the reason 1"
Mr. .Murphy : ".My attention wasuotuilled
to it, and I don't court trouble."
Mr. Lally ; "There is a nuisance there and
there is an ordinance which provides what
the horough officials shall do with public
nuisances."
President James : "We are uayinaa Health
Officer for the purpose of removing nuis
ances aud if there is a nuisance, and the
Health Officer, living iu elose vieluity, can
standby iu face of. tlio authority he has I
don't we what this Council can do. The
Council ha done all it could by resolution at
the last meeting, aud when the officers at
tempted to carry them out their lives were
threatened, and now the matter lies in suit."
Mr. Ijlly said he would give waruiug that
If something was not done warrants would
bo issued by ten o'clock this morning for the
arrest of tho Chief llurgess, tho chairman of
the Sanitary Committee and the President of
Council.
No definite action was taken ami it left
Mr, Lally in a critical frame of mind, so
that when Mr. Stnuighu made a motion a
few minutes later ho objected to an addition
the chairman made In putting tho motion.
Tho tecrctury read a communication from
the Columbia Hose Company, Inviting the
Council to attend the housing of the new
wagon next Friday evening. Mr. Strauglin
moved that the invitation be accepted.
President James announced, "It is moved
that tho Invitation bo accepted and Council
attend," Mr-J-ally objected to the Presi
dent adding the words "and Council attend"

because Mi. Straiighn had not used them and
the President displayed a little irritably,
lie then put the motion with the additional
words and. hearing only one vote for it nnd
two in tlie negative, declared it lost. Sub
sequently Mr. Strauglin moved "That the
Invitation of the Columbia Hose Co. No 1.
of Shenandoah, Pa., be accepted and that
each anil every individual member of the
Council attend in a body." This motion was
carried without a dissenting vote.
