When tho polls dosed at 7 o'clock on Tuesday evening the majority of the voters of town were thankful that the end of the most bitter contest over in Freoland 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 wore coniideut, notwithstanding the boasts and taunts of iheir opponents for a week previous, but the Republicans also wore a conii deut smile and their calculations wereof the kind that usually appear correct. The fourth district was tin? lirst to be heard from, and the partial returns from the Hill indicated a Republican majority of about 4(>. 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 been estimat ing that the vote would he 45 to 50 against them at that*poll, consequently tliey were not disturbed at the an noundement. The first district was the next to re port, and gave majorities ranging from 00 to 70 votes in favor <if the Republi cans. In that district a greater falling off in the Democratic, vote was expected, and the result was viewed with satis faction. Tho two Republican polls, the first and fourth, had now been hoard from, and yet none of the Republican candi didates reached Main street, tho politi cal dividing lino of the town, with any thing near 125 majority. Democratic hopes brightened, for they knew the second would pull down these figures considerably. The second soon responded with Demo cratic majorities averaging about 50, and cheers then began to bo heard for the candidates, although tho Democrats wore still many behind. All interest was now e,entered upon the third, tho banner district of tho re gion. The vote was 141. and tho 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 ihe 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 Hod, the literary lights disappeared and the £22,- 000 school board job faded away. It was a clean sweep along the whole line, and the 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 (if tno borough. At the third district poll the line of parade, was formed, headed by a drum corps, and the victors march ed to the homes 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, lie introduced D. J. McCarthy, against whom the most desperate light had been waged, and he responded with an ap propriate address, In which he thanked the voters, and especially the liberal minded citizens, for the noble stand they had made against those who opposed himself and his colleagues. lie also re ferred to the despicable methods used by some Republicans to defeat the tick et. Peter Timony, Dr. E. W. Rutter and 11. M. Rrisiin also made brief re marks. The Democrats continued their jubilation until late in the night. Tho School Indebtedness. Tho vote upon tho question of increas ing tho school debt was much lighter than the regular vote cast, hut the num ber refusing or neglecting to give their opinions was about evenly divided, and the Democrats carried their side of the question through with tho rest of tho ticket. This contest was considered more as a matter of approving or disap proving tho methods of the school board than of erecting a new school building, and the vote plainly shows that the peo ple are tired of tho manner in which their school affairs have been conducted during recent years. Tho vote upon this and tho school directorship is a re buke to tho majority of tho present j board, and ono which they have well earned. Foster Township. For the first time since the TRIBUNE was established we are unable In give t iie nfilcial vote of Foster. The returns furnished us from some districts were found to be incorrect, and others could not be obtained. The whole Republi can ticket, however, is elected by a good majority, except tho candidates fin treasurer and constable, das. Hough's election for the former oflico seems as sured by a majority of 4 votes,and Jos eph Schnee for constable appears to have a few more of a majority. Wo re gret the official figures cannot be pub lished today. Tlo Poor DiHtrict. Samuel Ilarloman's election as poor • --- * - TIIE BAUNTKKKR. director is claimed by the Uepuhllcans by a majority of 71. Faust polled an unox pocted large vote, but the district was so mnch tho'other way that lie was unable to overcome the opposition. Tho official count may change the figures somewhat, but hardly enough to alter the result. Morgan <). Morgans, for poor auditor, has nearly 700 majority. Hitzlo Township. Every candidate 011 the Democratic ticket was elected in lla/1 ■ township. The principal Interest was taken in tho school directorship, hut. Conahan and Curran won, notwithstanding the cam paign of slander. The former is 33 and tiie latter 2 votes ahead. The other majorities range in the neighborhood of 100. How Others Voted. Altmillcr, tho Republican candidate for mayor of Ilazleton, was elected by 16 majority. Crovoling, Republican, for treasurer, and Jacobs, Democrat, for controller, arc also elected. The Republicans elected their ticket in Philadelphia by a majority of about 55,000. Wilkes-Barre re-elected Mayor Nichols by a majority of over 1,500. Services of tho M. K. Church. M.

Erasmus Snyder, who was a candi date for senool director in Foster town ship. failed to secure his clectson on Tuesday. Mr. Snyder has been a resi dent of this place for many years and during tho past throe years lillcd tho office of school director in Foster town ship with so much credit and ability that ho truly deserved to be re-elected. However, his reputation as a gentleman lias suffered none by his defeat. Sumo of our young men, who hereto ! fore have made a reputation for them selves as being good, sober, industrious citizens, bad better prop up their habits again. From recent reports their pres tige. is dropping, and a man who has 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 and and are anxious to have the event repeated before the winter is over. A large soup.thing like a bear was seen on the roadside by two of our boys while coming homo from South ilobe.rtou early 011 Sunday- morning. Probably it v is pay day that made the animal look so large.

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 wen-in the race for township honors th • vote polled was about as usual. James McKinloy and a lady friend called upon friends here this week. ON THE FARM. BERMUDA farms bear three successive crops in one year. FRANCE imports ten times as much wine us it exports. CELLAR mould on apples—often un notiocable—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 car. fully cleansed, or peeled, at least, if to be eaten raw. THE bettor condition in which tho farm tools are lcept, the less effort is required >n tho part of the teams, and on the part of the wnrkingmon also, yet farmer?; will use their implements a whole year without sharpening them. No other mechanic would do this. AT Horr Ih die's famous dairy in Dcr lin the milk is strained through a wiro sieve with a cloth, over which fine gravel Is sprinkled.
