LUTHER C. SMITH, Superintendent. THE POOR STATEMENT. The Annual Report of the Middle Coal Field I'oor District. From the Lansford Record. The annual statement of the poor district for the year ending December 31, 1898, is out, and we invito the atten tion of the taxpayers to the same. While nothing may be stolen, there is k much that Is hidden. It purports to be a report of the auditors, but it is really a report prepared by the Hoard of Direc tors and signed by the auditors. About the only connection the auditors had with the statement was to check off the orders in the books of the secretary and steward, foot up the totals and receive their $lO. The whole thing was done in a few hours, although it involves a busi ness of $02,000. Forty-eight thousand dollars wore paid out for the year 1898, yet but thirty odd items are given as explan ation of that amount, under the head of disbursements. Hero is a sample item: "Salaries and expenses, sl,- 220.00.'' Who are getting the salaries and expenses? What constitutes the "expenses" the statement does not say. It is not legal expenses, for we find $75.80 for that; it is not for attending poor directors' convention, because we find $70.41 for that pleasure trip. f The report is very explicit as to the number of night shirts and chemises made by the paupers; and the farm pro duce is given with great detail, from hay to saner kraut, but when it comes to hard cash the auditors gulped down items involving hundreds and thousands of dollars with the ease of a sword Bwallower or a circus glass-eater. In addition to this year's account of $197.25 for "office expense," we find in last year's report $267.32 for "office ex pense." This must be a luxurious uffice, if it costs two and three hundred dollars per year to keep it running. Besides the "office" expense there is "house" expenses, $400.71, and "hospi tal" expense of $211.18. It is certainly in order for the audi tors to make sumo explanation to the taxpayers better than the statement issued over their names. PLEASURE CALENDAR. February 23.— Fair of Young Men's C, T. A.

Alden, Republican, and Sliovlin, Demo crat, Win by Hinall MaJorltiee—Lieb I.eadH Schwartz and McGlll is Ahead of Ronenstock in This Town. In Freeland borough the vote on Tues day was close. Jesse A. Alden, the Re publican candidate for auditor, carried the town by 4 of a majority over James Carey. To offset this victory, John H. Shovlin, the Democratic nominee for high constable,defeated his Republican opponent, Thomas Gould, by 8 votes. The vote for poor district candidates was also half and half, Leib leading Schwartz in the borough by 8, and Mc- Glll coming out 19 ahead of llosenstock. Neither party had its full vote out, as outside of one or two wards no partic ular interest was taken in the election. The Republicans carried the First ward by a greatly reduced majority, McNeils and Fisher cutting deeply into their ranks, while Welsh tied Powell for tho constableship. A very light vote was out in the Second ward, the Republicans getting the big end of all the ballots that were cast. In the Third ward Smith won easily for councilman. Doggett made a good run for judge of election, but fell short a few votes, and Hlncer, Democrat, was chosen constable with only a few scat tering votes against him. The Fourth ward had a quiet election, for once in its history, the Republicans winning by a small majority. Down in the South ward nearly 100 Democrats failed to vote, as it was only a question of how much majority their candidates should have. Had all the Democrats of either district stayed at home the combined vote of the Republi cans in the two districts would not have elected any one of the Republican candidates. Patrick Meehan was re turned to council with 135 majority, John McCole was elected director by 120 majority and John Moiik had 145 more votes than his opponent. Edwards, an Independent candidate for poor director, received two votes, one In the Second ward and one in the Second district of the South ward. The day passed off very quietly, no disturbance being reported from any of the polls. The total number of offices voted for was twenty-six. Of these the Republi cans captured fourteen and the Demo crats eleven and one is a tie, as follows: Dem. Rep. Auditor 0 1 High Constable 1 0 Councilman 1 2 School Directors 1 1 Constables 2 2 Registers 2 0 Judges of Election 2 4 Majority Inspectors.... 2 4 Totals 11 14 FOSTER TOWNSHIP. Democrat* Klect the School Directors and One Supervisor. The Democrats of Foster township won a notable victory by electing their candidates for school directors, Messrs. Keller and Doudt. Richards was de feated for the second time in succession and by a larger majority than last year. Kimmel, his colleague, was not in the race. The vote in another column shows that the Democrats swept strong Republican polls, Upper Lehigh, East Foster, Eckley, Hazle Brook and Fond Creek giving good majorities. In High land and Drifton the Democrats lost slightly on school directors, but not enough to affect the result. In Sandy Run the Democrats gained heavily over the party's regular vote. McGuire, Democrat, and Horn, Re publican, will bo the supervisors. Hand long ran poorly throughout the town ship, outside of his own poll at East Foster. Both of the supervisors-elect reside in Upper Lehigh. The balance of tho ticket is a mixed victory, tho Democrats electing the clerk, while tho Republicans won out on treasurer and auditor. In the vote of Foster the ballots cast for Bernard J. Carr for justice of the peace and Neal Gallagher, Jr., for con stable are not given. Both candidates were on the Democratic ticket and had no opposition. The vote published today gives Foster complete for school directors and super visors. For the other offices East Foster vote could not be obtained. The returns from this district will not alter the result. Richard Edwards, the independent candidate for poor auditor against J. W. Maloy, received a few scattering votes throughout the township. Uppej Lehigh voters elected a Demo cratic judge on Tuesday for the first tin>e In the history of the poll, John O'Neill defeating Richard Dudley by a vote of 83 to 39. Eighth I'enn'a Volunteer Infantry regiment will he mustered out of service In the course of a few weeks. It will be given a royal reception upon Its return to Schuylkill county.

Republicans Fleet Tlieir Director anil 1 One Auditor. t The Republican candidate for poor i director, YVllllatn Lieb, and the Ropub- i lican candidate for poor auditor for < three years, John Rosenstock, were elected on Tuesday. James W. Maloy, Democrat, was elected over Richard Edwards by a large majority to fill the two years' vacancy on the board of poor auditors. Schwartz carried Hazleton city by 325 and West Hazleton by 08. Lieb lias a majority of over 250 In Hazle, 8 in Freeland, 43 in Jeddo borough and the raissfng district of Foster makes them about even in the latter township. Carbcfh county rolled up a majority of from 400 to 500 for Leib and a larger majority for Rosenstock. The exact figures of the poor district will not bo known infill the election judges make their returns at Laury town next week. Hazle Township Republican. IJazle township gave every Republican candidate a large majority. The whole Democratic ticket was defeated by from 100 to 200 votes. The dissatisfied ele ment in tho Republican party was whipped into line by the mine bosses, and the expected cutting consequently did not materalize. To the straight voting of the Republi cans was added tho votes of a large number of Democrats who were not pleased with thoir ticket, also a number of floating votes which were captured by the liberal use of money and whiskey. Treachery was rampant in tho Demo cratic ranks, and to this, more than any other cause, the defeat may be at tributed. The results place every department of Hazle township in the hands of the Republicans. The Vote KlMewhere. In Hazleton city tho Republicans elected C. J. Kirschner, J. C. Fey and L. O. Emmerich, three Republicans, as school directors, by an average majority of 250. The Third Class City party won in Wilkesbarre, electing J. O. Main city controller, Attorney B. J. McManus city treasurer and James Mack city assessor. All are Democrats. The Democrats in the borough of Snydertown, near Shamokln, after plac ing three women on their ticket for school directors, gave them less than 20 votes each. All the other offices were won by large Democratic majorities. Innpector Williams' Report. The annual report of Mine Inspector Williams for the Fourth anthracite dis trict for 1898, is now complete. The report shows that more coal was mined I in the district than in 1897, the produc- I tion for 1898 being 7,8(10,277 tons, while ; in 1897 it was 7,457,418. The extra production was caused by the unusually severe winter. In shipments there were 351,051 more tons in 1898 than in 1897. There were on an average ten more days worked in 1898 than in 1897, but 1897 was one of the poorest years on record. During the first half of last year the same poor time was made, but the severe winter caused good work. While the production last year was greater than in 1897 there were fewer employes, the llgures being 23,377 for 1898 and 25,750 for 1897. There were fifteen more fatal acci , dents in 1898 than in 1897. FATAL ACCIDENT. John McCnhlll, of Highland, Dies of In juries Received Yesterday. John McCahill, of Highland, employed as a driver in No. 5 colliery, Jeddo, received injuries while at work yester day which resulted iu his death at Ilazleton hospital last evening. Just how the accident happened will never be known. He was found sense less beside his trip of cars in the gang way, and it is believed he was squeezed between tho top of a car and the top rock. His injuries about the head and face indicate that tho accident was caused in some such manner. As quickly as possible the young man was taken to the surface and hurried to the Miners' hospital. He lingered until 8 o'clock last evening, and then died without regaining consciousness. The remains were taken last night to the home of his wife's father, James Gallagher, in Drifton, from which place the funeral will take place. The time of tho funeral had not been decided upon when the TRIBUNE went to press. The deceased was aged 28 years. He is survived by his wife and two children, in Highland, and by a mother, two brothers and a sister in Sugar Notch. He was known as a quiet, unassuming young man and his sad death is re gretted by all his friends. He lived in town for many years and was a member of St. Ann's band. Huzleton Man Diet* in Oakdale.

At his homo in Jeddo yesterday the sixty-ninth anniversary of the birth of Solomon Bittner was quietly celebrated by his family and intimate friends. Mr. Bittner Is a respected resident of our neighboring town and his birthday is seldom allowed to pass unobserved. He is a veteran of the rebellion, having served four years in the infantry and cavalry service on the Union side, and during this period saw some hard fight ing, coming out with the rank of cor poral. On tho day's of Lee's surrender Mr. Bittner was color bearer of General Phil Shoridan's escort. His friends hope he will be spared to celebrate many more birthdays. Married Yesterday. Alex D.

The ceremony was witnessed by the parents, relatives and immediate friends of tho contracting parties, and was fol lowed by a wedding dinner. The young couple have a largo number of friends who wish them success. They will re side on Chestnut street. Hurglurti Held Sway. Burglars ruled Mt. Carmel on Monday night. Entrances were forced into at least six different stores, and in each case the evident purpose was to steal ready cash taken in the first day after the general pay. In a Polish meat market the safe was blown to piecos, and hams, bologna and other meats thrown in every direction. In other places shoos, clothing, provisions, etc., were stolen. Little money was secured, the merchants having guarded against such a visit, as it is not unusual after pay day. Tho town was never in such a statu of excitement as the robberies caused.
