Al*o CarricH Freli>ii(l-A Heavy Vote.
Tuesday will be a memorable day in
the history of polities in Freeland.
When the six polls of the borough
closed that day there ended the hottest,
most exciting and most interesting local
campaign that the voters of this town
were ever called upon to-participate in.
Both parties exerted themselves to their
utmost, and as a result 1,042 votes were
cast, the highest number ever polled
here.
The oflicial vote is published in an ad
joining column. It gives .John F. Boyle
a majority of 71 for burgess, Hugh
Malloy a majority of 80 for tax collector
and Henry Krone 60 for auditor. For
poor director Henry Reineinan carried
the town by 17 and for poor auditor D.
B. Briehof leads by 70.
The voting was brisk all day long at
the several polls, the Democrats having
large numbers of active and earnest
workers in each ward. They went
about their duties with a conlident air,
fully believing that the returns would
justify their labors, and in some of the
districts every qualified Democrat had
deposited liis ballot long before 7 p. ui.
When tho day's work was done both
sides rested for a brief spell, while tho
election boards were counting. The
First ward was, as usual, the lirst to
report. In this hitherto Republican
district the honors wore about even,
Drasher and Malloy each carrying it by
4. The Fourth, the Second and the
Third then reported in tho order named,
and tiie result for the two principal
offices at that moment was: Drasher,
380; Boyle, 222; Kline, 358; Malloy, 250.
Bovle was 104 behind and Malloy was
108 behind. The famous South, how
ever, was known to ho good for fully
200 Democratic majority, and it more
than fullilled expectations. The com
bined vote of the two districts of the
ward was: Boyle, 331; Drasher, 00;
Boyle's majority, 235; Malloy, 307; Kline,
113; Ma Hoy's majority, 104.
The news spread rapidly through the
town and the usual manifestations of
joy followed. At the Grand opera
house the announcement of the returns
from the stage by Manager McMenatnin
elicited prolonged applause from the
audience. In deference to the wishes
of the candidates, no public or formal
demonstration of the victory was made,
nevertheless it was late that night be
fore those who helped to bring about
the result were satislied to turn home
ward.
In tho wards both parties did what
unbiased observers expected. In the
Third a Republican school director was
chosen by the party vote. In tho
Fourth l)r. Butter and A. Goepport
made a vigorous contest, but the odds
were against them and George Sweet
was elected councilman by 31 and
George T. Brown, Esq., school director
by 10.
The South ward Democratic ticket
won by an overwhelming majority, the
Democratic vote of either district being
sufficient to over ome the total Re
publican vote in the ward. For council
Chas. Moerschbacher was elected by
240 vores and Peter Tlmony was re
turned to the school board by 233 ma
jority.
All day yesterday the triennial wail
of the defeated could be heard, but
among all the reasons advanced for the
result the Republican iamenters failed
to hit upon the real cause—the disgust
of tho people of Freeland at the reck
less. unbusincss-liko and wilfull squand
ering of public money by the present
Republican council. This, added to
the contemptible methods used by cer
tain candidates and their borough-paid
heelers to bull-doze tho votors, made
Democratic success certain long before
a vote was cast.

the seventieth anniversary of his birth.
This is an occasion which Mr. Ilittner

ostentatious manner, as the date is, in
addition to being his own anniversary,
the day dedicated to the Father of Ills
Country, George Washington; and Mr.
ilittner, being a thorough patriot, hav
ing shown it by four years' service in
Uncle Sam's army, never allows it to
pass unnoticed.
This year, however, the old veteran's
celebration Is saddened by the remem
brance of an affliction which recently
befell him—the loss of his beloved wife.

No Arrests Probable,
From tho Wilkesburre Record.
It Is probable that no arrests will be
made In connection with the recent

will be remcmbored, placed the blame
upon the brakeinan, alleging that they
allowed the train to attain too much
speed. Tho coroner states that ho can
not make arrests, and District Attorney
Martin says that no malicious intention
was shown and that it would be useless
to make arrests, as no grand jury would
Indict the men on the information in
possession of the district attoroey.
