FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. VI. No. 41. DEMOCRATS DEFEATED. REPUBLICANS STRUGGLE HARD AND ELECT THEIR TICKET. Luzerne County Reverses I (.self un<l Sur prises All by the IteKult— Davenport the Only Oeinocrat Elected—The Old Fourth GoeH Republican. Tuesday's election was one of tlie quietest seen in this part of the county in several years. In Freeland and vicin ity the Republicans turned out strong and at several polls rolled up even a larger vote than was given for their presiden tial candidate last year. On the other hand the Democrats polled the lightest vote since 1887. There was no enthusi asm or general desire to see the ticket win, and very many refused, for various reasons, to cast their votes. A somewhat similar state of alTairs ex isted throughout the county, and the re- Bult was that the Republicans won by handsome majorities. Davenport was the only candidate elected by the Demo crats. m Following is the vote of the county, as nearly correct as can be obtained up to the present time: State treasurer. Jackson, r 11,132 Osburn, d 11,060 Kent, p.. 971 Jackson's plurality 72 Judge uf supreme court. Fell, r 11,124 Thompson, d , 10,023 Ames, p 977 Fell's plurality 101 Treasurer.

Pottsville saloonkeepers defeated the city charter movement by over 200 voteß. Judge Smith wns defeated in Lacka wanna county by H. M. Edwards, Rep. The Democratic county ticket was also defeated. The vote of the state is not of a char acter to encourage Democratic aspirants for governor next year. Judge Weidman was re-elected by the Democrats in Schuylkill. Freeland borough gave a Republican majority of 30, the first time the Demo cratic state or national ticket was beaten here. The fourth district returns show the following pluralities: Jackson, 35; Fell, 37; Reed, 100; Schmidt, 31; Reese, 80; Smith, 366; Norton, 45; McGraw, 56; Westover, 61; Morgan, 49; Bennett, 5. The four polls of Freeland gave Cleve -368 votes last year and Osburn 297 on Tuesday, a Democratic IOSB of 71. The same districts gave Harrison 310 votes last year and Jackson 295 on Tuesday, a Republican loss of only 15. Coming. "Enemies for Life" is a play of ab sorbing interest and natural in its entire ty. The audience is kept spell-bound— one moment chained down to sympa thize with the woes of others, and as if by magic touch, when the sense of emotion is well nigh exhausted, 10l we are wafted upon the billows of laughter and our other nature, to laugh and he pleased, is catered to in a most excellent style. The company is strong, while the scenery and mechanical effects are mar vels of device. — Louinille Courier-Journal. At the opera house this evening. Freeland'* Vote.

Patrick McLanghlin and David Jen kins, two rock miners employed at No. G shaft of the Lehigh Coal and Naviga tion Co., residing at Lansford, were in stantly killed Monday evening by a dynamite explosion.

During the past few months some of the boys of this place have found much amusement in arming themselves with revolvers and when coming home from Freeland byway of No. 6, at night, they do a considerable amount of unnecessary shooting. /It might be well to inform these young bravadoes that the road mentioned is not an Indian reservation, but a place where civilized beings travel, and to go around as some of these young men do is not only umanly, but cowardly. To save trouble, a work to the wise should be sufficient. Michael Mulligan, Jr., left here yester day for Wood's Business college, Fcran ton, where he will resume his studies. Night school began on Monday even ing in the public schools with a fair attendance. Election day passed off very quietly at this place. Hardly two-thirds of the voters exercised their privileges of citi zenship. Humor has it that Fred Sheaman has purchased the farm which was at one time owned by George Kromines in Butler valley. He will remove there some time this month. Calvin Waldron moved his family to South Heberton yesterday. Our huntsmen spend nearly all their spare moments in the woods and the weary look on some of them when re turning should be a warning to others. Several evenings ago a select party was indulged in at the hotel. It was a ' grand affair. One of our young men who is called "Johnny," would like to know very much who is the paragrapher of this place. Now "Johnny," it won't do you any good to know such things or I would give you the number of my ticket and the slope I work in. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1893. THANKSGIVING DAY.

Immigration .Statistics. The annual report of Hon. Hermann Stump, superintendent of the bureau of immigration, states that there are twen ty-four ports through which immigrants Bre received into the Umited States. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Balti more and New Orleans are the chief ports of entry, in the order named. During the last fiscal year, which ended June 30,1893,440,793 immigrants arrived in this country, a decrease of 131,034 over the previous year. Of these 439,- 730 were landed and 1,003 debarred for special causes; in addition to which num ber 577 were returned, having become public charges within one year after arriving in the United States. The prin cipal decrease was from Russia ami other countries where cholera has been pre vailing. During March and April, 1893, large numbers came over, and in the first part of May last 20,000 immigrants were re ported to be upon the ocean at one time destined to the United States, their ob ject being to arrive before the modified and obstructive measure in the act pas sed March 3, 1893, went into effect. The transportation lines readily adapted themselves to the new requirements, and have aided and assisted the officer attached to this bureau in carrying out the provisions of the law. Dave Clark Was the Engineer. From the I'liihulolphia Record. The name "Novelty" was most appro priately applied to a locomotive engine which, as described by James W. Holmes, of Reading, an old employe of the Reading Railroad, was built for that line by Nichols & Kirk in 1840. It had two boilers, each mounted upon separ ate trucks with six wheels, each 4i feet in diameter, and was intended to be a perfect model anthracite coal burner. The forward boiler was used for much the same purpose that the locomotive tender or tank is employed for today, and the two were connected over the engineer's head, by a hall-jointed pipe that might have easi[y cooked the engine crew to death in case of derailment. David Clark, the present superinten dent of the Lehigh Valley's Hazleton shops, was the unsuccessful "Novelty's" first and only engineer. Deadly Inhalation of Gas. Jacob Whalen, of Wilkes-Darre, dieb early on Tuesday morning from the ef fects of inhaling escaping gas from a jet in his room. He retired at 8 o'clock the previous night and when called did not answer. His room was entered and the gas was found turned on in full force. Whalen was then found in a dying con dition. A doctor was summoned, but the patient was too far gone and died shortly after the doctor's arrival. It is supposed that having turned the gas off in his room lie in some way again open ed the stopcock. A Good Show. "Enemies for Life" is a strong play, the best of its kind we have had this season. It teems with everything cal culated to arouse interest, human sym pathy and emotion. The transition from tears to laughter is judicious and well timed.
