After the election it was seen that the vote of Jeffrey and Reilly for the legis lature would be exceedingly close. The latter hail been claiming a majority of 17, taking his figures from those procured on election night by a reporter of a llazleton morning paper. These figures, however, were incorrect in at least half a dozen districts, and when the vote was summed up at Wilkes-Barre, as given by the election district officers, Jeffrey was found to be 4 ahead. Relying upon the accuracy of the llazlcton newspaper Reilly thought lie discovered evidence of fraud in the re turns made by the Freeland borough judge. He claimed his vote here was 95 and Jeffrey's 215, and swore out an afli davit, charging them with tampering il legally with the returns. He said a bul letin had been posted outside the polling place with the above figures on, and that the returns gave him only 82 votes and Jeffrey 216. The court then issued attachments on the hoard, which was composed of John 1). Herron judge, Patrick McLaughlin, Jr., and John M. Powell, Ist, inspectors, two Democrats and one Republican, to appear with the ballot box in order that Reilly's claim could be investigated. The election officers went to Wilkes- Barre on Friday morning, and Judges Rice and Lynch broke the seal of the ballot box. The votes and every thing pertaining to the election were produced and the count was made. The vote of the whole ticket, from the presi dential electors down, was found to cor respond exactly with the returns made by the board. Five ballots, however, were laid aside, and over these the judges held a consul tation. The election board had given two eacli to Reilly and Jeffrey and thrown one out as defective. The court decided that, although the voters' inten- tions seemed in four of them to be as the board had counted, they should be classified as defective. One was given to (filler, the Prohibition candidate. The return made by the board was: Jeffrey, 216; Reilly,B2; Hi)ler,4. Judges Rice and Woodward, after opinions from counsel on five ballots, made it: Jeffrey, 214; Reilly, 80; Hiller, 5. No evidence of any kind could be discovered to prove tliat there was anything illegal in the count or that a bulletin with other figures had been given to the public, and Judge Rice, in making this statement, compli mented the Freeland board upon the thorough and complete method used in counting and the fair and impartial manner they pursued in regard to what might be considered defective ballots. On Friday evening preparations were made by Mr. Reilly to have the 11 axle ton fourth ward board taken to Wilkes- Barre on the same charge, but all pro ceeding were suddenly dropped next day. rn that district Jeffrey received 24 votes and Reilly 161, but the latter thought he should have had 167.

The driver stepped off to turn a pair of latches, which were a few yards ahead,when he heard a faint cry, and going back found the boy under the car.
