! The sale of reserved seats for MY Part

drug store this morning. and every indica-
ton points to large audience next Thurs
day evening, when the play viii be pre-
scented for the first time in this city. 1t is
a simple story of western life, true to ma
ture and strong in dramatic interest. 1t de-
picts the life of two miners-partnefs, one
of whom Ned Singleton, is murdered. His
partner, Joe Saunders is accused of the
crime The circumstancial evidence is
strong against the accused; and the border

Joe Saunders, is the ideal miner. He gives

hearty applause, and attracts the sympathy

UNCLE DAN'L.
On Friday night B. McAuley will give
his celebrated character of Uncle DaaI in
the play "a Messenger from Jarvis Sec
ton" The play is generally regarded as a
character piece, but all the interest is not
allowed to centre around one or two fig
ures. The playwright has created an en-
semble of characters, the relations of which
to his hero bring out the latter against a
strong natural background. Uncle DaaPs
amusing adventures in search of
John Smith, his dangerous encounters with
sharps and roughs, his perplexities, disap-
pontments, dangers, and triumphs, his dis
covery OF more than he started to find, and
his general success at last, are incidents all
of which are admirably worked up, and
from beginning to end the play holds I'M
divided attention, its many strong points
creating unbounded enthusiasm. AS Uncle
DanI, bIr. McAuley presents clear cut
type of the honest old resident of the back
districts of our Eastern States. When the
warm hearted old deputy sheriff appears
the audience realize the presence of an
honest, plain spoken, plain dealing man,
who has business before him, and who goes
att in a business-like way His humor, his
anger, his sorrow are all natural, and con-
troll the feelings of those before him with
power that marks him as being true
artist. His trials create sympathy. his dan
ger creates an intensity of interest, and his
triumphs are regarded with unmistakable
satisfaction.

THIRD WARD.

The liveliest interest is manifested in
the race for alderman in this ward, and
the friends of both candidates claim that
their favorites will come out first best
At noon 1875 votes had been polled,
while the largest number ever cast was
$50. 1t is thought that every vster will be
called out, and total larger than the above
figure will be the result
During the first hour or so that the polls
was open, the Mahoney men poured in,
but during the later hours the Mott sup
porters came to the front, and at 1 O'Clock
the latter was slightly in the lead
The contest over the alderman over
shadows all other features of the election,
as it is generally known that great efforts
have been used to make Mr. Mahoney his
own successor, and the democrats are work
ing hard to secure Mr. Motifs election.
A large crowd has remained about this
voting place during the day, but the best
of order prevails, and fair and square
fight is being made.
The feeling is quite general that Mr..
Mott will carry the ward, but no exact
majority has been named, and the pros
poets point to a very close vote.
FOURTH WARD.
An earnest canvass has deem made in
this ward, and while the enthusiasm is not
so great as that manifested in the lower
ward, still there is an evident disposition
to select the best men for the different off,
ces. The result of this feeling is that a
large amount of scratching" had been
performed which has proved of advantage
to Hurst, Winter and Simmons on the
township ticket. These three are run
ming ahead of their ticket, and their support
throughout the entire cityis also generally
reported on the alderman Johnston
leading his republican compile tor, and
without the latter pulls up during the af-
ternoon, Mr.. Johnston viii represent the
ward in the next council At noon 90
votes had been east and Johnston was 12
ahead

maintain to the end, as they state that the

Latest Returns from the Diff
erent Wards.

The city and township eiectlonS occurred
to-day, and the contest excited more gen.
eral interest than has been tie case in such
affairs for many years.
The weather was anything but suspicious
for out door enjoyment A rain prevailed
during the early hours of the morning, and
the clouds bore threatening appearance
during the entire day. The Indictment
weather, however, did not have dampen-
ing effect upon the candidates and their
supporters, as the nominees and their fol-
lowers were about the polls, and in many
cases the voting places presented lively
scenes from an early hour this morning I'M
til the Judges declared the polls closed and
the contest over.
An unusually large vote win no doubt
be polled, as Notwithstanding the fact that
the election is for township offices and
one alderman in each ward the interest is
so general that every inducement has been
offered to get out all the votes, and when
the ballots are counted this interest will
result in a very large grand total of votes
polled.
THE RESULT
is problematical in many wards so far as
the aldermen are concerned. although the
democrats will elect three out of the seven,
with possibility that fourth may be
added to the list. In either event the coun-
Gil will be under the control of the demo
cratic party, as four democratic aldermen
hold over, while the republicans have not
single representative in the hold over
members. That party, in order to gain
the next council must elect seven of their
candidates, and this is an impossibility.
The township ticket has been scratch
ed" badly throughout the entire city, and
it will require several hours of counting
on the part of the Judges before the result
can be made known. Several of the dem
ocratic candidates are running ahead of
the ticket, and their election is very gener
ally admitted Prominent among those
who are thus favored are Gilmore Hurst for
assessor, and Basilius Winter for collector.
THE RETURNS,
as soon as the officers count IN the differ
ent wards can be completed. will be made
made known at the ARGUS counting room,
and in order that such may prove the case.
it is requested that the democratic mem
bers of the Board of Judges in every ward
will make it a point to telephone the result
to the ARGUS office as soon as the count
shall have been competed, the result on
alderman first, and the count on the town
ship ticket at later hour.
A general invitation is extended to the
public to visit the Office this evening and
learn the result as soon as it is made
known
