FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. VIII. NO. 38.
LUZERNE IS REPUBLICAN.
LARGE MAJORITIES ROLLED UP FOR
THE TICKET ON TUESDAY.
Democratic Candidates Made a Strong
Showing in Some Places, Hut the Total
Vote Leaves Tliem in the Minority
Again This Year.
Luzerne county is still solidly Repub
lican, despite the extra efforts put forth
by the Democrats to win this year. The
fact that a clean, well-balanced ticket
was placed in the Held by the latter
party, and every section of the county
given representation thereon, induced
many Democrats to hope and expect
that the result of Tuesday's voting
would be favorable to Democracy.
The vote polled was a comparatively
light one, but the Democrats lost as
heavily through this as their opponents.
Below will be found the vote of Luzerne
county. It is not official, but the figures
are as reliable as can be obtained up to
the present time:

The candidates for the superior court
run about even with those for state
treasurer, with the exception of Rico
and Smith, who get a much larger vote.
The corrected figures of the result will
bo given when the official count is made.
AFTER THE ELECTION.
The vote given Maloy in the first and
fourth districts of town, and in some
towns of Foster, show where the hide
bound partisans live, and the Democrats
will not likely forget the Republican
office-seokers of those districts.
Freeland's Democratic vote on the
state ticket on Tuesday was 37 less than
in 1894, and the Republican vote 22 less.
The Democratic majority of 96 given for
Singcrly has been reduced to 81 for
Meyirs.
The third district of town is still the
banner Democratic poll of the fourth
legislative district, but the vote given
some of the Republicans shows that
there was a little crooked work on foot.
It is estimated that nearly 100 voters
on the D. S. & S., more than two-thirds
of which art; Democrats, were unable to
vote owing to the long hours they art!
compelled to work.
The votes cast for Maloy and Smith,
against whom a religious fight was made,
show that A. P. A. opposition to candi
dates runs them ahead of the ticket.
Ilazleton reduced its Republican
majority of 352 in 1894 to 115, and Hazle
township Increased its Democratic
majority of 44 last year to 118.
Maloy's vote throughout the county is
proof of his popularity and shows that
the party made no mistake in placing
his name on the ticket.
On the fourth page will be found news
of the election throughout this and other
states.
The fourth district last fall gave
Hastings a majority of 046. This is
reduced this year to 89.
The Democrats lost in Carbon, Schuyl
. kill and Lackawanna also. Dunn was de
feated forjudge in Schuylkill by a few
, votes.
The local Republicans made no effort
to celebrate the victory of their party.
They were not interested enough for
that.
Last November Foster gave Governor
Hastings a majority of 210 votes. On
Tuesday the Democrats pulled It down
to 112 011 tbo state ticket.
DcPierro Bros, showed their enterprise
by having a telegraph instrument placed
in their cafe, where the returns were
read off to an interested
The news from New York city wore
never moro interesting to local Demo
crats than 011 Tuesday night. It was
tho oidy place from which crumbs of
comfort could he had.
Smith, for superior judge, leads the
Democratic ticket in tho state, and he
will probably bo the minority judge on
tho bench. He is about 3,000 votes
ahead of Ycrkea, with tw6nty-one
C'Ountics to hear from today.

New Hungarian Vice Consul.
Ono of tlio most prominent Hungarians
in the United States is Edward Ufalussy.
lie is well versed not only in his own
language, but in Austrian, Polish, Ger
man and English. It has just been
learned that he is favorably spoken of
as the now vice consul that is to be ap
pointed by the Austrian-Hungarian
government. Heretofore Pennsylvania
has been divided into two consular dis
tricts by the Austrian government, the
consul being located at Philadelphia,
and the vice consul of the second district
at Pittsburg.
The Hungarian population has in
creased in Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties to such an extent in the past
few years that it has increased consular
business to such an extent that another
vice consul is about to be appointed for
a now district, that is to comprise the
territory of Schuylkill, Carbon, Luzerne
and Lackawanna countios.
Mr. Ufalussy being fully conversant
with this territory and its inhabitants
has become an applicant for the position,
He has opposition in the person of John
Narnctt, a merchant of Hazlcton. The
vice consul of Pittsburg, however, op
poses them both because they are native
Magyars, and ho wants a countryman
of his appointed. Mr. Ufalussy, however,
stands a good chanco for the oflice.
Wilkefthurre'B Mystery Cleared I'p.
The mystery surrounding the suppos
ed murder of the man giving his name
as John WycofT, or Woinhcrt, was clear
ed up at \\ ilkesbarro this week. This
is the man mentioned in Monday's issue
who was found on the streets and taken
to the hospital, where he died in a few
minutes. After death the doctors found
a bullet wound over the heart. As the
man had given no particulars of his
case there was much speculation over
the bullet wound. Ephraim H. Harris,
a grocer at Luzerne borough, went to
the authorities and explained tlie affair
by stating that lie shot the man.
He snid that lie was returning home
from Kingston at. 1 o'clock on Wednes
day night, October 30, riding his bicycle.
While crossing a bridge lie was ordered
to stop. He refused and his assailant
lired two shots at him, the first grazing
his hat and the other skipping his lin
gers. Harris was so frightened lie fell
off the wheel and drawing his revolver
lired back at the man 011 the bridge-
He says lie heard a shriek and saw the
man fall back into the water. Then
