Death or William It. Cnle, tlii Veteran
Journalist.
AT THE POTTSYILLE HOSPITAL !
The Deceased Was For Years a Publisher
and Editor In Baltimore, and For a
Long Period Connected With
Schuylkill Journalism.
Court House Notes.
Pottsvlllo. April 4. William R. Cole, late
editor of the Minors' Journal, died at the
Pottsvlllo hospital this morning after an Ill
ness of several days. ' Hts illness was due,
incidentally, to bulnes reveries and disap
pointment over his failure to secure a re-ap-polntmont
to tho poatmastership of PotU
villo. Mr. Cole was born in Baltimore, Mil., Feb
ruary 0, 1835. His patornal ancestors wore of
English birth, and were among the earliest
settlors of Maryland. Mr. Cole was
a journalist by profession and at
an early period of bis life became
a publisher, for the lint tiire in Richmond,
Va , in 1857. Ho was subsequently publisher
and editor of the Baltimore Sunday Tele
gram, Baltimore Ocnimcmal, Evening
Bulletin and Sunday Rulletiu. In 1801,
while representing tho Baltimore Clipper as
city correspondent at tho state capltol at
Annapolis, Md., ho was appiinted reading
clerk of the House of Delegates of tho Alary
land legislature. In 1601 ho was dieted
chief clerk of that body, and re-elected to
that office at the sessions of 1805 and 1807.
He was chosen recrotary of tho Maryland
Constitutional Couveution of ISOt. In 1805,
the legislature having enacted a law establish
ing au emigration bureau, Mr. Cule was
appointed Commission of Emigration, aud
was reappointed for a second term. At the
close of this term he beoamu ono of tho pro
prietors of the Baltimore Commercial, which
was not a financial success, and in 1872 ho
wont to Philadelphia. After a brief rcsidenco
in that city, he was called to Pottsvlllo to
take chargo of tho publication department of
tho Minors Journal. He was successively
manager, editor aud proprietor of tho paper
until the fall of 18S9. In 1801 Mr. Cole was
appointed postmaster of Pottsville, and after
tbo expiration of his term he again became
editor of the Journal, and couliuued as such
until about two months ago.
The deceased was a widower, his wife
having died several years ago. Two sons
and a daughter survive. The latter is Mrs.
Paul Sbaefer, of Pottsvlllo. One of his sous
was promoted Captain in the naval forces for
bravery in the battle ut Santiago.

THE ALMSHOUSE FAMINE.
The subject of general remark at the
courthouse was the report of a famine at the
Almshouse extending over Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, caused by a misunderstanding
or worse between the outgoing and ingoing
officials. By dint of good luck enough food
was gotten together to partially feed the In
mates of the hospital, and wero in not for tho
potato bin being full it Is said serious results
might have occurred. Ex-steward Evans ex

cratic directors had ordered him to stop buy.

a great pity that the misfortunes
of the poor should bo suldect

disgraceful scandal should awaken the people

Cincinnati, April Klwtlons were
held in Ohio yesterday for municipal
and township ottlwrs. While loil Is
sues usually control these spring elec
tions, there wnre other Influences 111
some places yesterday. In Cincinnati
party lines were not cloely drawn.
Weather conditions wero favorable, yet
only 4 i,r00 vote were east. There
were only three officials elected, as fol
lows; Itufus H. Smith, Republican, for
Judge of the superior court, no opposi
tion; membfrs of the board of city af
fairs, William McAllister and Albert
Fisher, Republican. Average Republi
can majority, 0,07l. The present Demo
cratic mayor was elected two years ago
by almost as large n plurality.
In Clevelnnd John II. Farley, Demo
crat, was elected mayor over Robert
13. McKisson, Republican, the present
incumbent, by a plurality of about 3,500.
The remainder of tho Republican ticket,
including city treasurer, police judge,
police prosecutor, justice and four mem
bers of the school council, elected at
large, will hove substantial pluralities.
The Republicans will control the city
council. Mclvisson's defeat whs due to
the defection of Republicans, who voted
against him because of his opposit on to
SeiiHtor. Ilnnna and his party during the
contest before the legislature a year ago
last winter. The whole ticket suffered
somewhat on account of the opposition
to McKissiou, but not enough to i-efeat
any of the other candidates. The vote
was very heavy.
In Toledo the large registration wns
fully brought out. It is probable that
20,000 votes were cast for the head of
the ticket, hut the Jones men after vot
ing for their favorite candidnte seemed
to care little for the minor offices, and
the consequence is that the other can
didates will fnll short. S. M. Jones,
the present mayor, who was a candidate
on nn Independent ticket, with a plat
form of municipal ownership of utilities,
has been elected by at least 5.000 plural
ity, and probably a majority over nil.
The contest was marked by great spirit.
The regular Republican ticket, except
for mayor, has been elected by a close
vote.
Dayton Local issues purely controlled
In the election here. Many women voted
for members of the board of education.
The vote was light and the Democrats
won a nominal victory. Township elec
tions show tho usual balance in favor of
Republicans on a county vote.
Columbus The election of Swartz,
Republican, over Itlack, Democrat, for
mayor is conceded by l,.c00. Swartz is
jthe first Republican mayor elected since
1SS7.
The western reserve maintains Its
usual Republican majorities, with some
gains over those of former April elec
tions, notably at Youngstown, Warren,
Cadiz, Delaware aud other cities in
northeastern Ohio. In the smaller
cities, as well as in the rural districts,
the Republicans claim gains, notably at
Chllllcotlie, where there was a change,
Mayor Ilrown being defeated for re
election by James Wood by 300. At
Defiance the Democrats lost two council
men and a member of the board of
education. At Hamilton the Democrats
maintained their mniorities. also nt
Lima, Newark, Clreleville, Upper San
dusky, Millersburg 11ml Vnuuert. At
Zanesville and Marysville the Republi
cans were successful, and they made
gains at Napoleon. As a rule the vote
was light. At Canton, the home of Mc

was elected mayor by 13 plurality, a

tion. Tlio mention tn MIohtfrnn.
Detroit, April 4. Yesterday's elections
In Michigan have not shown any marked
change in the general political complet
ion of the state, which is normally Ri
publicnn, but the result shows quite
heavy Democratic gains in some of the
larger cities, notably so In Detroit,
Grand Rapids. Saginaw, Jackson and
Kalamazoo. On n generally light vote
the Republicans hold their own in th.j
smaller cities and throughout the rural
districts. Circuit judges wore elected
in 3li judicial districts. Of these about
two-thirds of the new judges, who are
elected for six year terms, are Repul
lienns. The Republicans elect Justice
Claudis E. Ornut as justice of the su
preme court by a majority of at least
20,000. They also elect Henry S. Dean
and ICIi R. Sutton regents of Michigan

Fort Scott, Kan., April 4. The muni
cipal election at Rronson, Kan., 25 miles
west of here, wept by default yesterday,
and a unique municipal government will
result. Three political organizations ex
ist iu the town, hut the people were so
busy digging for natural gas and zinc
that they utterly neglected to call a con
vention and make nominations. No bal
lots wero printed, and yesterday, when,
under the law, they must open the polls,
the olectlon commissioners telephoned to
the comity attorney here for advice.
They were instructed tnat no legal elec
tion could be held, and unless the pres
ent niiiyor and other officers can hold
over the town will be without govern
