HOW THE VOTERS VOTED. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES CARRIED LUZERNE ON TUESDAY. Freeland and I'arts of Foster Polled a Handsome Vote for Democratic Nomi nees. Hut Other Localities Failed to Stand by the Ticket- Williams Was Cut. The Republican county ticket was elected on Tuesday, the Democratic congressional ticket won and in the six legislative districts the Democrats captured four and the Republicans two of the representatives. The net gains for the Democrats were one congress man and three representatives in the county. All the Republicans who won were elected to succeed Republicans, consequently they gained nothing. The defeat of Congressman Williams shows that the people of the district In tend to continue the rule in force since the Twelfth district was formed—to refuse to re-elect their congressman. Davenport ran ahead of his colleagues in all parts of the county and Williams was cut unmercifully by a certain ele ment of his party. Money was freely used in his behalf on Tuesday in buying Democratic poll-men and Moating votes, still He fell behind everywhere. His de feat was arranged for long ago. It is a hard blow to that faction of the party which lie represents, and keen edges have already been placed upon the polit ical knives of many of his friends. In the adjoining columns the vote of Freeland borough is given complete, also the total vote of each locality in the Fourth legislative district and the total vote and pluralities of the successful candidates iu Luzerne county. Com plete election news of the state and nation will be found on the fourth page. Legialatlve Districts. Every Republican candidate was given a majority in the Fourth district, except Williams for congress, who was cut heavily throughout lower Luzerne. The sweep carried F. li. Snyder, legis lative candidate, through by a majority far below that, given the county nomi nees of his party. Sherdian failed to do as well as expected in Hazle township, and his defeat can be placed to nothing else but the apathy of the Democrats there. Evans' voto was larger than expected, and while part of it came from the Democratic side the bulk was cast by Republicans, and had the Demo crats went to the polls in Ilazle the party's candidate could have won. The independent Republicans did their work well, the Democrats failed to do theirs. In the First district Representative Roberts was defeated by I*. J. Hoylo, Democrat, by 230 votes. This district is coin posed of the city of Wilkesbarro, and its redemption from Quay rule is a great victory. In the Second Representative Coray, an anti-Quay Republican and one of the most honest legislators in Pennsylvania, defeated his Democratic opponent, Mr. Chrismau, by 1.448. The Third district is the homo of Rep resentative Miller, a Quayite, and his defeat by Democrat (Jruver by 20 votes is a splendid triumph for the friends of honest government. Iu the Fifth district ex-Commissioner I'at rick Norton, Republican, lost to Thomas Tigho, Democrat, by 978. This was the only district iu tlio county rep resented by a Democrat In the last legislature. ,1. P. McAndrews, of White Haven, lias succeeded in bringing back the Sixth district to the Democratic column, defeating Quay's man, Representative Riley, by 97 votes. On the whole the Democrats did ex ceedingly well in their legislative con- 1 tests iu Luzerne, losing only one candi date, Mr. Sheridan, through their own negligence. Tlie Local Vote. The Democratic workers began with the intention of carrying Freeland borough for every candidate on their ticket, and they succeeded. The ma jorities given the candidates, ranging from 51 for MeGinty to 105 for Jenks and 138 for Trickett, surpassed their ex pectations and astonished the Republi cans. No efforts were spared to get the Democratic vote out and to vote the ticket straight. That the latter was done was shown iu the count, the First ward returning 40 ballots voted in the Democratic circle, the Fourth ward 09, the Second district of the South ward 112 and the Third district of the same 113. The Third ward was carried for the first time by the Democrats. At no provious election was such straight voting done by the Democrats, and the Democrats of Freeland can feel that the defeat on Tuesday was not caused nor abetted by them. In certain districts of Foster town ship, notably Woodside, Drifton, High land and East Foster, good work was also done. The full vote was gotten out in these precincts and voted straight. Woodside, the homo of District Chair man Richards, was swept 38 to 23 by the Democrats. School Director Rrior's poll, Drifton, beat the Republicans nearly 4 to 1. In Upper Lehigh and Eckley, Foster, and in Jeddo and Drif ton, Hazle, the Democrats lost votes, partly through apathy and partly through money influence. PLEASURE CALENDAR.

From Denver he wrote lastwweek as follows: "Here wo mot several former resi- 1 dents and citizens of Luzerne county. We had a visit front our old newspaper j friend, Hon. J. C. Fincher, formerly of j Hazlcton. He is now located at Denver. | He is the same honest, outspoken, bluff ' old gentleman as of old, hut has grown j some stouter, and has a grizzly groy ap- ! pearance, and a typical westerner. Wo also met a Mr. Lynch, of Lackawana i county, who had many friends and I acquaintances in Luzorne county. Peter Jennings, former county commissioner , of Luzerne county, and a Mr. Quigley, ' aro also here; both holding lucrative j positions in the state house, under the present Democratic state administration. These gentlemen all seemed positive that Colorado would elect the fusion > state ticket by a handsome majority." Another Volunteer Coining Home. George Boyle, a son of Timothy Boyle, of Ridge street, will arrive home this month. His regiment, the Sixty-lifth New York, will be mustered out of the United States service on the 18th Inst.

At present he is in good health and is i awaiting the mustering out. which will take place at Camp Plumo, nar Buffalo. Ho will arrive here at G..">7 p. m. on November 22, with his wife, who has been with him since shortly after his arrival at Buffalo. Warrants Out for Sport*. A week ago on Sunday a prize tight was held in Pittston between a colored man from Wilkesbarro and a white man of Pittston. They fought twenty-three rounds, the colored man winning. ThA light took placo in a hall directly oppo site the placo in which Mayor Harding was sitting, and was largely attended. Mayor Harding found out about it, and a number of warrants were sworn out for the arrest of the leaving sports. More will be issued and it is expected they will bo served tomorrow. Pittston has been closed tight for several Sun days, oven the cigar and candy stores being shut up. I'hillp OkkHon I>eit<l. The old residents of town are passing away rapidly. Tills morning at 2 o'clock Philip Dickson died at his home in the Third ward. For over thirty voars he had lived here, coming to South Ileber ton before there were any signs of a town in this vicinity. Ho was aged about 80 years.

They were instructed to extend the same west as far as the alley dividing the lands of John W. Davis. The question of sidewalks was taken up, and it was agreed to place sidewalks along the Donopand Brennan properties on west side of Ridge street, provided the solicitor linds there are no reserva tions for sidewalk in their deeds, and upon condition that, they will make deeds to tho borough of six feet of ground for such purpose. The secretary was authorized to notify the Water Company to have a plug placed on Walnut street, near reservoir. Tho police and lockup committee re ported that they had investigated the case of William Weiirman, who was lined by the burgess for having an unmuzzled, dog running at large, and recommended that the secretary notify him to be present at the next meeting of council and have his witnesses with him.

The street committee was instructed to consult with the borough solicitor as to tho propriety of constructing a side walk along the west side of Pino street, from Walnut to north side of Johnson street, and that they have the power to have the same done without referring back to council, provided the solicitor after having examined the title to lands on each side linds there Is space enough without encroaching on tho street, also to construct a crossing when sidewalk is laid. A crossing was also ordered to be put down on Adams street, east and west at the intersection of Carbon street, provid ed that curb and gutters arc laid on the properties on each side.
