LUTHER C. SMITH, Superintendent.
The Dirtiest Tramp on Earth.
The Tauiaqua police captured what
they believe to be the dirtiest tramp on
earth a few days ago and took up a
popular subscription to buy soap with
which to wash him. After they had
secured twenty-five cakes of cleaner the
grave question as to who should do the
scrubbing arose. The mess was such a
filthy one that, for awhile it looked as
though the hobo would escape to further
enjoy himself in his portable wallow.
Hut just us the police were about to let
itim go a colored train-jumper was
brought in and given the option of be
coming a liumane washing machine or
spend ten days in the Pottsvllle jail,
lie chose the former and went to work.
It took every one of the twenty-five
cakes of soap to get the various crust
aceous deposits ofT of him, but when
done lie looked like a ditTerent man.
His picture was taken before and after
the operation and will be used as a soap
advertisement. The removal of the
stiffening dirt left the poor hobo so weak
that he had to bo sent to the county
•almshouse to recuperate.
Henry Diehl. of Hazleton, one of
SherilT Martin's deputies who lias been
missing since the day of the Lattimer
shooting, has not yet been heard from.
His wife and family are now in destitute
circumstances, and on Tuesday evening
appealed to Poor Director Schwartz for
relief, which was promptly granted.—

LUZERNE COMES BACK.
DEMOCRATS WIPE OUT THE REPUB
LICAN MAJORITY OF 5,000.
Martin and Dascli Are Elected and Lynch
and ltra/.ellc Are liehind Their Oppo
nents—County IH in the Democratic
Column—Swallow's Big Vote.
In Luzerne county the Democrats on
Tuesday elected Thomas R. Martin as
district attorney and Paul Dasch as pro
thonotary. On the Republican ticket
Walter IL Koons was elected clerk of
courts. James W. Moore leads John
Brazelle for jury commissioner, but the
law provides for the election of the two
highest candidates and both, therefore,
have won.
The tremendous Democratic gains
were unexpected by few, if any, of the
Republican candidates and campaigners,
and the rosult has completely dazed
them. The county has gone Republi
can for the past few years by majorities
varying from 3.000 to 6,000, and so sure
were the Republicans of carrying the
day that they made a reckless and care
loss canvass for votes, fondly believing
that the party was so strongly entrench
ed that defeat was impossible.
Had there been a free and fair ballot
the entire Democratic county ticket
would havo won by over 5,000. The
cities and larger towns and farming dis
tricts, where intimidation and coercion
did not prevail, were swept by the
Democrats, but in the. mining patches
the spirit and letter of the law were
openly violated in the interest of the
Republican ticket. The coal corpora
tions, or rather a large numbor of those
in tlie lower end, had "their bosses and
understrappers at work all day piloting
the especially the non-Eng
lish-speaking voters, to the polls and
voting thorn in droves against the party
of their choice.
The influence of the deputies and their
friends was also against the Democrats,
as they reasonod it out in some way that
a Republican sweep meant a vindication
of the Lattimer butchery, and the in
dicted murderers worked hard, but vain
ly, for this vindication and for the re
tention of Fell as district attorney.
As a sample of the desperate work
done the vote of Lattimer may be taken.
The poll is Republican by a small ma
jority, but so thoroughly were tho citi
zens cowed down by tho all-powerful
agents of tho Pardees that Martin receiv
ed but 10 votes to 198 for Fell. Several
other polls in mining towns gave results
nearly as much at variance with the
feeling of the men who deposited thw
ballots.
The vote of the county is as follows.
The figures of the first column are the
totals and those of the second are the
pluralities:

The Vote in Freeland.
Freeland borough registered tlio will
of its voters in a most emphatic manner.
The Democratic gain was astonishing.
The borough, including South Hoberton,
last year gave McKinley 553, Bryan 400
and the Prohibitionists G, a Republican
plurality of 153. On Tuesday, the Demo
cratic candidate for state treasurer poll
ed 423, the Republican candidate 320 and
the Prohibition nominee 20, a Demo
cratic plurality of 07. The total vote on
Tuesday was light, nearly 200 loss than
last November. The Republicans lost
heavily by the stay-at-homes.
Much interest was taken in the result
in the wards north of Main street. This
was the first election held since the new
wards wore created, and there was con
siderable speculation as to the effect the
changing of the boundary lines of the
districts would have. The result shows
that the First, Third and fourth wards
are debatable, the Second being the
only safe Republican precinct. Both
districts of the South ward did magnifi
cently for the Democrats, a remarkably
big vote for the party being pulled in
each.
One feature of Freeland's vote was
the handsome majority given to Paul
Dasch, 214. This is far more than his
most enthusiastic supporters had ex
pected. Ho carried live of the six elec
tion districts in the borough, losing only
the Second ward, and there he came
within three of tieing his opponent.
Martin also ran ahead of the stato
ticket, but Lynch and Brazello dropped
behind the stato treasurer's vote.
The result of the election in Pennsyl
vania and other states will be found "on
the fourth page.

Democrat!* Prevented from Voting.
From the Wilkesbarre Leader.
At the Democratic headquarters in
Wilkesbarre yesterday some very serious
charges were made against mine bosses
in different parts of the county who are
alleged to have worked breakers and
mines until 6.30 and 7 o'clock, purposely
to prevent employes from voting.
Chairman Trescottsald: "The iniquity
of mine bosses in this election is almost
beyond belief. I have it on good au
thority that some of the collieries in the
lower end of the county worked until
0.30 in order to prevent the employes
from voting the Democratic ticket.
"I was in Duryoa Tuesday evoning
and was told that in one mine there
twenty Democratic voters were kept in
the mine and would not be raised to the
surface until 7.15 o'clock, thus prevent
ing them from voting. lam now gather
ing information and affidavits, and if an
investigation proves these facts we will
have the mine bosses arrested and prose -
cuted.
"In Mr. Martin we will have a district
attorney who will conduct the prosecu
tion and who will teach a lesson to those
who would intimidate voters and prevent
them from from exercising the rights of
citizonship."

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stapes and that is
catarrh. Hail's catarrh cure is the only
positive euro now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying .the foundation o
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials

London, Nov. 3. —The elections in the
United States continue to overshadow
all the other news in the English news
papers. .and the results are discussed
generally at the hotels, clubs and other
such places, as well as on the trains,
horse cars and omnibuses. The Sun of
this city, of which newspaper Harry
Marks has editorial control, says:
"'The dog returned to his vomit' is
the text we recommend pious New York
to hang on the parlor walls. The chief
city of a great people must see its mu
nicipal oillces filled with men who
should be filling cells In the peniten
tiary. New York has fallen like rotten
fruit into the hands of the boodlers, but
the New Yorkers may console them
selves with saying that every city, as
every land, has the government it de
serves."
The Evening News says: "Croker has
brought on his tip and has won the
race, showing that he is more to be
feared in his natural arena of politics
than on the race course. The population
of tin- second greatest city in the world
has elected its ruler, and the morning
after election the problems occupying
his mind did not relate to the govern
ment of the city, but to squaring and
rewarding his supporters. The experi
ment of democracy, as seen in full
growth In New York, seems to have its
drawbacks as well as its advantages."
The St. James Gazette thinks "the
reason Americans allow themselves to
be dominated by a clique, whose lead
ins members would on this side of the
Atlantic sooner or later find themselves
in the criminal dock," is that the
"American politicians indulge in poli
tics solely for what they can make out
of them, and until America finds time
to produce a class who will give their
time to public affairs as here, without
expectation of pecuniary reward, Tam
many will continue its victories in New
York."
Tl© Globe's Views.
The Globe says: "When the fortunes
of the wigwam are in the ascendant,
shameful corruption rules supreme.
When Croker became boss, it had re
gained much of its lost Influence. Cro
ker is perhaps the most notable Tam
many product of our time. A splendid
organizer and an indomitable worker,
he possesses to a marked degree the
taciturnity and aloofness which made
Parnell so successful a leader. Steer
ing clear of the personal venalities of
Tweed. Croker has revived the other
traditions of that worthy's regime and
has made Tammany once more a politi
cal engine of the first magnitude."
Commenting on the allegation that
the "best classes" hold aloof from poli
tics, the Globe says: "It leaves the
government of one of the greatest
countries in the world at the mercy of
a mob and of an unscrupulous dema
gogue who knows how to bend the mob
to his will. The effect upon the foreign
policy of the country is often deplora
ble. That large numbers of decent, sen
sible people utterly unsympathize with
the brusquerie of Olney and the fatui
ties of Sherman we all know, but un
happily they utterly fail to make their
voices heard above the din of the New
York slums."
The Pall Mall Gazette also refers to
the municipal election of Greater New
York, saying:: "Such an organization as
Tammany could not exist in London. A
man or an organization once proved
guilty of corruption could never return
to power. Tammany, under the leader
ship of Croker, has done so in a manner
which must afford food for serious
thought even in a city so accustomed to
bad government a* New York. Much as
we wish the best fortune to Greater
New York, we cannot congratulate its
citizens upon the manner in which they
have contributed their share toward the
achievement of such a desirable result."
Tho Westminster Gnxotte.
The Westminster Gazette says: "The
victory for unprincipled government ob
tained by unprincipled methods is a
grave disappointment to all believing In
free Institutions, and the only thing to
do is to wish Seth Low and his support
ers will be luckier in the next campaign
against a system which seems to out
siders to be absolutely intolerable."
German Comment,
Berlin, Nov. 3.—The Tageblatt, refer
ring to the New York election, deplores
the victory of Tammany, adding "as it
places the undesirable elements of the
Irish on top" and concludes, "The vic
tory in Greater New York will have a
sinister effect throughout the United
States, for it means that the uwaking
desire for municipal reform has receiv
ed a terrific setback."
A French Opinion.
Paris, Nov. 3.—The Temps, In its com
ments on the Greater New York elec
tion, remarks: "The result of the elec
tion is deplorable for New York and the
cause of the democracy."
