When the polls closed at 7 o'clock on Tuesday evening the majority of tho voters of town were thankful that the end of the most bitter contest ever waged in Freeland was almost over. The citizens gathered in various parts of the borough and many wore the predic tions of what the result would be. The Democrats generally were confident, notwithstanding the boasts and taunts of their opponents for a week previous, but the Republicans also wore a confi dent smile a nd their calculations were of the kind that usually appear correct. Tho fourth district was the lirst to be heard from, and the partial returns from the Hill indicated a Republican majority of about 40. This was a decided gain over the majority given Hastings last fall and in the eyes of the Republicans victory was sure. The Democrats, however, had boon estimat ing that the vote would lie 45 to 50 against tln-ni at that.'poll, consequently iln-y wore not disturbed at the an noundenient. Tho lirst district was the next to re port. and gave majorities ranging from 00 to 70 votes in favor of the Republi cans. In that district a greater falling off in the Democratic vote was expected, and the result was viewed with satis faction. The two Republican polls, the first and fourth, had now been hoard from, and yet none of the Republican eandi didates reached Main street, the politi cal dividing lino of the town, with any thing near 125 majority. Democratic hopes brightened, for they know the second would pull down these figures considerably. Tin; second soon responded with Demo cratic majorities averaging about 50, 'and cheers then began to bo hoard for the candidates, although the Democrats were still many behind. All interest was now centered upon the third, the banner district of the re gion. The vote was 141, and the Demo crats were claiming over 100 as their own. Finally the vote appeared, and a Democratic majority of 100 or more for the ticket was shown. Triumphant Democracy then gave full vent to its feelings, and the town re sounded with cheers for the candi dates and the party. Simultaneously with the arrival of the news from the third the Republican prophets fled, the literary lights disappeared and the $32,- 000 school board job faded away. It was a clean sweep along the whole lino, and tho victory was too pronounced to pass by without doing full justice to the event. The Democrats came troop ing down Centre street from all parts of tno borough. At the third district poll the lino of parade was formed, headed by a drum corps, and the victors march ed to the homos of the candidates over 300 strong. After parading the town an impromptu mooting was called at Centre and South streets, with Hugh Malloy as chairman. He introduced D. .T. McCarthy, against whom the most desperate light had been waged, and he responded with an ap propriate address, in which ho thanked the, voters, and especially the liberal minded citizens, for the noble stand they had made against those who opposed himself and his colleagues. He also re ferred to the despicable methods used by some Republicans to defeat the tick et. Peter Tiinony, I)r. E. VV. ltutter and If. M. Brislin also made brief re marks. The Democrats continued their jubilation until late in the night. The School I nilebtedncHH. The vote upon the question of increas ing the school debt was much lighter than the regular vote cast, but the num ber refusing or neglecting to give their opinions was about ovenly divided, and the Democrats carried their side of the ' question through with the rest of the j ticket. This contest was considered more as a matter of approving or disap proving the methods of the school board than of erecting a new school building, and the vote plainly shows that the peo ple are tired of the manner in which their school affairs have been conducted during recent years. The vote upon this and the school directorship is a re buke to the majority of the present | board, and one which they have well i earned. Foster Township. For the first time since the TRIBUNE was established we are unable to give the official vote of Foster. The returns furnished us from some districts wen found to bo incorrect, and others could not bo obtained. The whole Republi can ticket, however, is elected by a good majority, except the candidates for treasurer and constable. .Jas. Hough's election for the former office seems as sured by a majority of 4 votes,tf&nd .Jos eph Sell nee for constable appears to have a few more of a majority. We ro gret the official figures cannot be pub lished today. Tho Poor District. Samuel Harloman's election as poor THE HA UNTKKKK. director is claimed by the Republicans : by a majority of 71. Faust polled an \ unexpected largo vote, but the district; was so ninch tlio'other way that he was ! unable to overcome the opposition. The \ official count may change the figures somewhat, but hardly enough to alter | the result. Morgan (). Morgans, for | poor auditor, has nearly 70b majority. llu/.lu Township. Every candidate on tho Democratic ticket was elected in Ifazl" township. ! The principal interest was taken in the school directorship, but Conahan and Curran won, notwithstanding the cam- j paign of slander. The former is 33 and the latter 2 votes ahead. The other majorities range in the neighborhood of 100. How Others Voted. Altinillor, tho Republican candidate for mayor of Hazleton, was elected by 10 majority. Groveling. Republican, for treasurer, and Jacobs, Democrat, for controller, are also elected. The Republicans elected their ticket in Philadelphia by a majority of about 55,000.

Erasmus Snyder, who was a candi date for scnool director in Foster town ship. failed to secure his eloctsou on Tuesday. Mr. Snyder lias been a resi dent of this place for many years and during the past three years filled the office of school director in Foster town ship with so much credit and ability that he truly deserved to bo re-elected. However, his reputation us a gentleman has suffered none by his defeat. Sumo of our young men, who hereto fore have made, a reputation for them selves as b.-ing good, sober, industrious citizens, bad better prop up their habits again. From recent reports their pres tige is dropping, and a man who lias a character these days should consider it something precious. Some of our young men attended a sleighing party from Freeland to White, on Monday night. They report having a good time anil and are anxious to have the event repeated before the winter is over. A larg< a:.ijiial something like a bear was seen ;i tin- roadside by two of our boys while coming home from South Heberton early on Sunday morning. Probably it was pay day that made the animal look so large. At a Jiunuarian wedding on Railroad street on Thursday night, several of the guests engaged in a quarrel and boat each other in a terrible manner. A Freeland onsi able was in town on Mon day and arr -red the man who caused the disturbance.

A report was circulated on Monday that for tho balance of the month the collieries hero would work but nine hours a day. The rumor was not true, as work still continues at then hours. The election passed off very quietly on Tuesday and although several! of our residents were in the ra e. for township honors the. vote polled was about as usual. James McKinley and a lady friend called upon friends here f his week. ON THE FARM. BERMUDA farms bear three successive crops in one j'ear. FRANCE imports ten times as much wine us it exports. C'ISLLAB mould on apples—often un notiooablo—consists of more or less poisonous fungi. Physicians say they have traced cases of diphtheria to the eating of it. All fruits and vegetables should be ear. fully cleansed, or peeled, at least, if to be eaten raw. TI;E hotter condition in which tho farm tools are kept, tho less effort is required on tho part of the teams, and on the part f the workingmcn also, yet farmers will use their implements a whole year without sharpening them. No other mechanic would do this. At ITerr Bolle's famous dairy in Ber lin the milk is strained through a wire sieve with a cloth, over which fine gravel is sprinkled. After the milk is strained tho gravel is put into a hot oven that any germs that may havo been possibly strained from the milk may be destroyed. Hpoclal Notice. All memh rs of St. Ann's T. A. B.
