Portland is enjoying long drawn
out fight over the election of Mayor.
From the certificates sent up by the
judges Of the election IN the different
wards, it appeared that Joseph Simon
was elected by nine votes. From
one ward the judges sent up with
their certificates what purporied to
be the tally sheets OF the clerks, from
which sheets it appeared that a mis-
take after the votes had been made
in counting, and that rectifying that
mistake Thompson would be elected
by one vote. The returning board
took the responsibility of ignoring the
| literal statements of the election
judges certificates, corrected the al
legged error and gave the certificate
of election to Thompson. The mat
ter is now before the Circuit Court OH
writ of Mandamus, asking that the
returning board be directed to issne
the certificates of election to Simon.
A good deal of bitter feeling has been
engendered by the fight and which
will crop out still further in the state
election next June; fol. it is really q
fight for Senatorial advantages in the
Legislature delegation from this coun
ty next year. The Mayor has large
ly increased powers and patronage
nuder the new charter, which can
and no doubt will be used to advance
the interests of himself or "his man. .
And the same course would have
been taken if the other fellow had
got in, for and on behalf OF has man.
Both parties have been charging each
other with all manner of badness,

particular time.

1 NEW FASHION IN FUNERALS.

S Il H1H FdcaAOA In FONGk6AAOs
A new fashion, destined yet to become
popular, is being quietly introduced into
the funerals in New York. For years
the press and pulpit have shown the
Jolly of expending large sums of money
on caskets, flowers and carriage prooes-
sions. While considerable outlay may
not affect well-to-do people, the poor,
a ways desirous of following "the style
as far as possible, initiate the pomp and
extravagance in a degree that is positive
ly injurious.
In many American cities the Catholic
clergy have attempted to check the in
creasing disposition to make show by
limiting the number of carriages to two,
four or six, according to the circum-
stances of the family; and Funeral Re
form Associations have been feature OF
social life in London and several other
large cities of England for years.
The fashion-of putting after advertised
invitations to funerals the words, "It is
requested that no flowers be sent" wa
step in the way Of funeral reform; an
he more recent adopted announcement
g Interment at the convenience of the
amily," was another important one
These innovations have reduced consid
.rably the cost of funerals. the last be
,ng particularly appreciated by rich ano
| .,oor alike, as constituting an efectua
iarrier against the professional mourn
RS, who attend all possible funerals TO,
.he sole purpose of having ride to til,
cemetery and back.
While it has been frequently remarke,
of our business men that they driv
trough everything as if they had not !.
,lngle moment to spare, even to die, i
sometimes becomes evident that the
ave not the time to attend the funera

the morning or afternoon involves til,
loss Of at least haif-day's work: and
because there are thousands who canno
ford this pecuniary sacrifice, the r.,
mains of men who in life counted thei
riends by the hundred are not infre.
| Iuently followed to the grave by dozel

The latest innovation gives all tn,
rieEds of deceased person an oppo1
unity for participating in appropriai
ceremonies. It also does away with th
necessity, whether real or assumed. fo

JAY GOULD At eouLpsBoRo.

Jay Gould used to live not far from
here, and when he came to Scranton
the other day with Sam Sloan and
Sidney Dillon there was general
desire to see him. He did not stay
very long, however, to make or
renew acaualntances. His train came
laundering down from Moscow at
the rate of fifty miles an hour. and
the order. "Clear the track" went
through from here to Oswego as
coon as his party came in sight.
Here he found time to step out on
the platform. The only new ac-
ouaintance he made was w. K.
Storrs, general coal agent of the Del
uw.re, Lackawanna and western
Railroad. Storrs is an austere,
thorough-golng, hard-woking man,
who has general supervision of the
mines in this section. When Gould
and he were introduced, he asked
after Gouid's health, and the later
replied by asking, "What's your ca
pacity?" He meant for producing
coal. Mr. Storrs understood, and
promptly answered, after which the
party boarded their special train. and
went flying through the Norch.
An old man who saw Gould on
the platform, AMI heard that he could
not remember whether he gave his
check for five millions or ten millions
when he gathered in little telegraph
stock, said =" worked with him
more than quarter of century ago
up the mountain at Gouldsboro. He
got into snarl with the authorities
there about the ownership of the old
tannery, aud the military had to be
called ont to drive him from posses.
sion. He was as hard to fight then
as he is to-day. TIE whole region
was excited about it, and the affair
was known all over the xcountry as
the Gouldsboro rebellion A big
lawsuit grew out Of it. Charley Pike
of Wilkesbarre defended Gould, and
got him off all right !"
The scene of the tannery warfare
of which the old man spoke is short
distance south of this city, on the
Pocono Mountain. When Gonld
passed through it the other day he is
said to have remarked to Sloan: "This
| place don't seem to have changed
much since / ran the tannery here. .
In Scranton Gould feasted his eyes
on the glittering lines of coal cars
laden with anthracite and drawn uI
in line ready for market. The visi,
was made principally to look over
the ground with view to increasing
the railroad facilities of the place, sc
as to meet the demands which the
completion of the New York, Lacka
wanna and Western will make on the
road. It is thought that, to ohviatt
the congregating of coal cars in the
company's yard, planes will be con
structed along the hillsides nolth and
south of the city to take the coal onl
of the valley aud connect at conven
lent points with the main lines Of thu
Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern.--M Y. S4m

February, riding another mans mule,

you fit him?" asked the traveller. g Not

thing was too tight, but he never said
anything about it after he tried it on, SO

One morning last week as Mr..
James Hackney, the father of the
lost boy, was standing near the front
door of his restaurant, No. 1872 First
street, Portland two boys stepped
up quickly to him, one of them bav-
ing hat in his hand which be hand
ed to AIr. Hackney, with the remark:
"Here is your boys hat we found it
Sunday night floating in the water
near the stark street slip " Instantly
the boys disappeared, and before the
astonished father could recover from
his surprise and start to follow them,
the boys were out of sight. The
hat, Mr.. Hackney says, is the one
his boy wore when he went away.
The mystery gathering around this
singular disappearance appears to
thicken. That there has been some
foul play in the affair is now almost
certain, but how and for what motive
or canse time alone can determine il
the mystery is ever unraveled.
