THE PRIMARIES.
The Contest a Spirited One In the Third
nnd firth Whi-iI.
The Republican primaries in town Satur
day afternoon were bitterly contested In two
of the wards, the Third and Fifth. Candi
date Magargle had delegates in all the wards
but the First, whore .Mm Kolierts' delegates
had a walk-over, havii., no opposition. The
result shows Magargle to have won In the
Second, Third and Fifth wards, and one
delegate from the Fourth, while Itoberts gets
the First ward and one delegate In the
Fourth.
The Magargle delegates in the Second
ward had practically a walk-over, but in the
Third and Fifth wards the opposing forces
fought every loch of the gronnd. In the
first named ward, the home of llegts'.er
Reese, lit fr'etids were do fen led by n ma
jority of twenty. Carriages were in evi
dence, and an unusually large vote was polled
for en oft" year. Taking the result a a
whole, there Is little comfort for the Coylc
adherents.
The fight put np lu the Second ward
against Councilman Hoelim and Water
Superintendent Stout for the delegnteshlps
practically flailed and the former secured a
majority of 88, while the latter scored two
better. The declarations made by their
opponents, Messrs. Feist and Griffiths, during
the last days preceding the primaries ,lmd
aroused expectations for a very close contest,
but the latter gentlemen were evidently not
posted on the situation.
The declaration that there would be "a
hot time In the old town to-night" wa Jus
tified so far as the Third and Fifth wards
were concerned. They were the only battle
grounds of the local primaries and the re
sults were so close that the returns of the
boards were awaited with great Interest.
There were no altercations at any of the
polls, with the exception of that in the
Fifth ward, and they were not of a serious
character. There were two clashes between
individuals that were uulckly squelched.
It is said tlio voting in this ward was about
the faliest that lias ever beeu secured dur
ing a primary at the poll. It is
doubtful if an illegal vote was cast. Doth
sets of candidates agreed to this sentiment.
Challenging started with almost the first vote
and whs continued briskly for a while. It
had a good ellect and kept shady characters
in the rear, and tlio prlmaiy board hud little
to do towards deciding contests during tlio
last two hours of the primary.

DROWNINGS AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Two Veiitursomo Ifatliors l.osli Xholr
Lives nt tho Famous Koiort.
Atlantic City, Aub. 10. Two venture
some bathers were drowned In the surf
whllo bathing here yesterday. They
wore Thomas C, Laswell, aged 21 years,
of Princeton, Ind., and an unknown
man, supposed to be an excursionist
from Philadelphia. Young Laswell
came hero yesterday with his friend,
J. M. Parrott, also of Princeton, on his
first visit to tho soashoro. Tho young
men went into tho surf shortly before
noon, and Laswell, who seemed to be
unaware of tha danifferous undertow,
was soon beyond his, depth and calling
for help. The life ijuardB made a bravo
effort to save hirn, put the surf was
so heavy thnt they' were unable to
reach tho drowning man. Laswell
struggled In tho water for about 15
minutes In full view of about 10,000
people gathered on the pier, board
walk and beach. Parrott nearly lost
his own life in attempting to savo that
of his friend, and was taken from tho
water In nn exhausted condition. Ono
of the life guards named Heed was
also overcome in the water, and was
rescued In an unconscious condition.
Late In tho afternoon the body ot
Laswell came ashore. It was turned
over to a local undertaker, who pre
pared It for shipment to Indiana. When
Laswell checked his valuables at tha
bathhouse where he obtained his bath
ing suit he laughingly remarked to the
clork, "I will leave my address, bo that
In case 1 am drowned you can send my
valuables home." Thtf Jest was tragedy
lu less than an hour.
The second drowning occurred at
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
the body of the drowned man has not
yot come ashoro. "
Tha surf yesterday was the heaviest
of the season, owing to a gale which
prevailed, and between 25 and 30 per
sons wore rescued, 'many of them be
ing women.
No need to suller with rheumatism, lum
