DELEGATE ELECTIONS.
Spirited Contents in Several of the I.ower
End Districts on Saturday.
Throughout the entire county". onjSat
urday afternoon tiie Democrats held
their annual fight for delegates to the
county convention, which meets to
morrow at Wilkes-Barre. In but few
of the districts were the representatives
chosen without opposition, and at sev
eral of the polls the candidates brought
out every possible Democratic vote.
At no previous election was the result
so close as on Satufday. In South Heb
erton and Upper Lehigh the successful
delegates won by only 1 vote. In the
North Woodside district Ilanlon's ma
jority was 4, at Highland Wackley's was
3, and in the borough Murphy went
8 ahead in a vote of 144. At none of
the polls was there a walk-over for
either side.
The successful delegates on the North
Side were:
Freeland—Edward Murphy.
North Woodside—Edward Hanlon.
South Woodside—James Bonner.
Soutli Ileberton—John Murrin.
Upper Lehigh (Foster)— Adam Lesser.
Highland—l'heo. Wackley.
Sandy Run—Hugh Shovlin.
East Foster—Jos. Hand long.
Eckley—(ieorge Dinnenny.
Drifton (Foster)—Copdy O'Donnell.
Drifton (Hazle) —Edward O'Donnell.
Jeddo (Ilazle) —Paul Dunleavy.
Jedclo borough—Philip Brislin.
Upper Lehigh (Butler)— Peter Amon.
Of the thirty-six lower end delegates
Ilelferty claims twenty-four. Brislin's
friends count upon nineteen at least and
the remainder are expected to go with
the McGarry-Davenport combination.
Throughout the county, so far as can bo
learned, MeGarry and Davenport and
Alexander and Brislin are about even
for treasurer and register.
Dullard is considered as almost certain
to bo nominated for commissioner, and
Wilkes-Barre reports have it that his
inate will very likely be Thos. McGraw,
of Beach Haven. Boyd will be control
ler.
The lower end delegates will leave for
the county seat at 4.34 this afternoon.
lIouHeM Struck l>y Lightning.
* A severe thunder storm passed over
town about 0 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, and the lightning danced around
in a most threatening manner. A
dwelling on Centre street, in the Points,
occupied by Mrs. William Slattcry and
Mrs. Andrew Furey and families, was
Btruck near the chimney and tore off
several of the weather boards on the
front of the building. During the ex
citement that followed it was thought
the dwelling had caught fire and an
alarm was promptly given. Both hose
carriages were on their way down
Washington street when the fire com
pany was informed its serviaes were not
required. ,
About the same time the residence of
John J. McCarty, at No. 2 Drifton, was
struck by lightning and fortunately the
family escaped injury, although consi
derable damage was done the building.
It struck the roof, entered in the third
story window and crashed through the
house down into the cellar. An infant
lying in a cradle up stairs was covered
with lathes and plaster, but was rescued
uninjured and the oil cloth on the
kitchen floor was cut as if with a knife
within two feet of w here Mrs. McCarty
was sitting. The building took fire and
were it not for the timely assistance of
the neighbors would have been destroy
ed.
Iliizlnton Highwaymen Again.
From the Plain Speaker.
Another highway robbery occurred on
the road leading from Garwood yester
day. A Jewish peddler by the name of
Ludwiniski had been selling his goods
at Garwood and was returning to Hazle
ton. When away some distance from
the former town, suddenly an Italian
stepped out from the woods" and ordered
the peddler to hand over his money
while ho took the satchel which contain
ed some wares not disposed of.
The peddler did not hand over as
quickly as the highwayman qxpected
and ill the meantime a wagon hove in
sight. The man seeing it ran into the
woods again taking the satchel with him.
The peddler, however, kept his money.
No trace of the culprit could be found,
but suspicion points strongly to a fellow
who lias been in this habit before.
This is not the first man hold up on
this road.
Wnnt, to lie Taxed.
Ilellertown, this state, is perhaps tho
only town in Pennsylvania, and perhaps
in tho United States, where the people
pay no taxes for any local purposes
whatever; and yet, great a bane as taxes
are usually regarded, the people are now
clamoring to be taxed. A meeting has
been called for the purpose of petition
ing the council to levy a tax.
The town's population is about 800.
A month ago the council decided to levy
no tax of any kind and hence the only
tax paid is the one imposed by the state.
It was found that the revenue from 20
saloons would be sufficient to maintain
the schools and keep municipal machin
ery running.
i he people have concluded, however
that a town without a tax is likely to
drift backwards, hence tho movement
to be taxed.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1893.
, PAYING ITS DEBTS.
Reading Gives the Valley #1,000,000
Wortli_of .Anthracite" Coal.
The debt of the Reading Railroad to
the Lehigh Valley, amounting to about
$1,000,000, which was tho cause of the
breaking of the lease by the directors of
the latter company, has been wiped out
in a manner satisfactory to"both com
panies, by the Reading turning over to
the Lehigh Valley between 300,000 and
400,000 tons of coal as the full equiva
lent of the indebtedness. Since the
lease was broken the coal has been in
the hands of the Finance Company of
Pennsylvania as agent for the Reading
Company. By an amicable agreement
recently completed the Finance Com
pany lias released this coal and turned
it over to the Lehigh Valley Company,
being amply repaid and secured by the
Reading receivers for its part of the
transaction.
The price at wllich this coal was turn
ed over is tho same as originally paid
for it under the contract between tho
two companies. By this mode of settle
ment the Reading has reduced its float
ing debt by $1,000,000, and the Lehigh
Valley has been put in position to at
once resume the sale of coal.
The Reading officials are much pleased
witlr the transaction, as it has enabled
them to dispose of what they have con
sidered a very slow asset, especially at
this season of the year. At the same
time they secure possesion of a large
block of third preference bonds, which
have been deposited with the Lehigh Val
ley as security that the Reading would
carry out the provisions of the lease.
This transaction greatly simplifies the
relations of the two companies and
makes each now quite independent of
the other. The Lehigh Valley is ex
pected soon to resume its old position in
the coal trade and again to become a
very important factor in it.

Trouble Over Water.
The Ashland miners' hospital is in a
predicament for the want of water, the
pipes leading to that institution having
been broken by the Asliland Water Com
pany to cut off the supply. One hun
dred patients are at the hospital for
treatment, and their condition depend
ing largely on the free use of pure water
is such that the attention of tho entire
mining region is drawn to the action of
the water company.
An injunction will be served on tho
water company, restraining it from cut
ting of the supply. The notion of the
company was the result of the refusal of
the hospital managers to pay water tax.
