STAR SHOE STORE, HUGH MALLOY, PROP., Centre ami Walnut. Streets. FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1901, UPHEAVAL IN OLD LUZERNE Democrats Carry County "by Large Majorities. Every Candidate Given a Magnificent Vote in the Fourth District—Freeland and Foster Democratic. Yesterday was one of the greatest days in the history of Luzerne Democ racy. The entire county ticket was elected by majorities ranging from 950 to 4.372. The result b<>re out the predictions made in these columns last Friday. While the Democrats anticipated victory, none among them looked for such overwhelming majorities as the voters gave the ticket. The total returns, as compiled at the county seat at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and furnished to the Tribune by the Wilkesharre Leader and Llazleton Plain Speaker, are as follows: STATU TREASURER. Coray 20,457 Harris 8,319 Coray's plurality 12.138 SUPREME COl'ltT JfDOK. Yerkes 18,008 Potter 9,014 Yerkes' plurality 9,054 ORPHANS' COURT JUDOK.

Allegar 14,600 Ruttor 12,680 Allcgar's plurality 1,920 Old Luzerne has felt no greater up heaval in many years than that which It experienced yesterday. It was a re volt against state and county corrup tion which will be long remembered by the politicians. Honest citizens in all sections of the county are today gratiHed at the result, which was accomplished in spite of the most contemptible and descipable elTorts which any set of politicians ever put forth for a hopeless cause in this county. F RKEI, A NT) AM) FOSTER'S WORK. While the Democrats made a remark ably good showing in the Fourth legis lative district, by giving every candi date on their ticket good majorities, the vote of Freeland and Foster deserves more than passing attention. In the borough and township special efforts wore made by the followers of the state and county machines to obtain returns favorable to their leaders. This was especially true of the borough, where machine money and other inducements were tendered in all shapes and quantities to the Democratic workers. Any Democrat in the borough who was known to ho able to control a few votes could have had his price, for the asking, tfr work for Republican candi dates, but to the everlasting credit of the workers of the town it must be said that every offer to induce them to play traitor was spurned. In fact, the lieutenants of the ma chine overdid their work and aroused a feeling of antagonism among those who were previously only partially inter ested, anrd the result was a majority for the ticket the like of which was never known befo n. l-roeland Democrats, by the vote pub lished in the adjoining columns, gives notice to past, and future Republican leaders that they can be neither bribed nor bulldozed. Five of the six wards In the town were swept by the Democrats, the {Second being tlio only one carried by the Re publican candidates. There the opposi tion's majority was reduced from 100 to 20. In the Fifth ward, the Democratic Gibraltar, all records were broken, both in the number of votes polled and the majorities given. In the up town wards the Democrats received substantial assistance from the independent Republicans. many of whom showed their sincerity in oppos ing the machine by voting the straight Democratic ticket. In Foster township, also, excellent work was done in spite of the influence of meddlesome corporations and bosses. Democrats stood faithfully by the Fusion ticket and worked hard for their county candidates. Elsewhere on this page will be found the detailed vote of Freeland and Foster and pluralities, the total vote polled for each candidate in Jeddo.

Doggelt, Rule and I*. G. Gal lagher. The following bills were ordered paid: Matthias Schwabe, stone and hauling, $43.20; City Lumber Yard, lumber, $6.89; Electric Light Co., supplies, $21.63; Electric Light Co., street light ing, $546.56: John W. Davis, hauling ashes, $4.25; R. C. Roth, repairs, $10.50; Asa Kuto, electric work, $21.39; Now York and Pennsylvania Brick Co., bricks, S9O; Lehigh Valley liaiiroad, freight, $7.50; Tribune, license book, $2.75; Hugh Dennlon, Jos. Ferry, John Gallagher, Francis Mooney, drying hose, S3O; T. A. Buckley, coal. $10.50; Freeland Water Co., water rent, $121.25. A communication from the chief of the lire department was accepted and the lire committee was ordered to pur chase gum coats, lanterns and axes and to examine hose. A petition from residents of Fern street praying for the extension of the sewer to that street was accepted and laid on the table. A letter from the Lehigh Traction Company was read in which they re iterate that they had not been notified of the passage of the pole and car tax ordinance. Ex-Secretary Buckley showed to the council by the minutes that they had been notified. Messrs. Median, Gallagher and McNeils showed to council where Traction officials have been guilty of various feats in the false hood line on different occasions. It having been shown that the*ordinaace had been referred to committee for amendment and pigeon-holed, it was decided that the committee and solicitor investigate the legality of the same and report Wednesday evening next. The Freeland Overall Manufacturing Company was exonerated from paying a borough tax. The amount, $5.88, was ordered returned. Squire Buckley appeared before council on behalf of a property-holder of the Hill and asked that a committee and the solicitor investigate the legality of the owner's rights to a lot that is now being used as a street. They will re port at the next meeting. The expenditures on streets last moo ill was $128.21. Burgess Boyle's report was accepted and showed $23 50 duo borougli and sl2 40duo burgess. The police report and bills for $130.45 were approved. The jauitor was ordered paid $32.25 salary and feeding prisoners. The street committee, reported brick for sidewalk secured and laid. That the white brick or llag was not satis factory for sidewalk purposes and that to cement around Municipal building would cost about S4OO. Councilman Kline took the floor and stated that he observed nothing in the street committee report in relation to a "canal" that has been constructed on I Johnson street. He accused the com- I mlttee of being swayed by one man power who was using his position to make Democratic votes in a close ward. He objected in strong terms to the pro ceed lire. The member present from the First ward arose and the lie was passed and some pretty strong language used. The surveyor was called upon and stated that the ditch was constructed accord ing to lines made from a map drawn by Franz Mackle In 1894-95. Ex-Secretary Buckley was called upon to throw some light on the condition, lie stated that the street in question was at one time j a public road Tvnd that former council- 1 men had experienced much trouble with it until a meeting of the property hold ers and council was held when a com promise had been effected whereby the i street was to ho 30 feet with a resorva- i tlon of 6 feet fur sidewalk on the north ' side. Councilman McLaughlin advocated that council should take a hand and clear up all streets where obstructions are at present as being the quickest way of settling the matter once and for all at the cost of an attorney's fee. A motion that the street commissioner fill up ditch on Johnson street and re move obstructions on Fine street re ceived the votes of Messrs. Gallagher, Meehan, McLaughlin, Kline and Monrschbacher. Messrs. Hincer, Mc- Nelis, Reifsnyder and Sweet voted no. The lire committee reported that they had received prices on a hose cart and found it could be constructed cheaper in town. It. was ordered procured from the Hatpin Manufacturing Co., at SBS. The law and ordinance committee re ported their Interview with the Traction officials, which practically meant that the company would do nothing to ex tend the road; that If council wanted It done they could do so at their own ex pense. No report on the rules for the build ing was made and the committee was ordered to hurry them up. The street committee was ordered to have the alley between Walnut and Chestnut conform to grade. The finance committee was ordered to effect a settlement with ex-Collector Kline. District institute.
