HARRING QUAKERS.
Two Promiuent Politicians In Bitter
Combat.

WEST CHESTER, Nov. 2.--To-day's
election here opened with q passage at
arms. Uriah "a. Painter of Washington,
who claims this borough as his place of
residence, presented his ballot at the
polls of the North ward and was chal-
lenged on residence by William Hemp
hill, chairman of tho Democratic county
committee.
Mr.. Painter was called inside, and,
obeying was followed by Chairman Hem
phil He there made affidavit that he
had always paid taxes and voted in West
Chester, covering a period of about 80
years. Mr.. Hemphiil then remarked to
him that he had always been voting
fraudulently, which assertion called forth
the lie from Mr.. Painter, and instantly
Mr.. Hemphill struck Painter in the face.
An officer at the scene promptly inter
posed and prevented further blows, after
which Mr.. Painter proceeded to have
Hemphill arrested for assault and battery
but the affair terminated by Mr.. Hem
phil apologizing for his rashness and Mr..
Painter handed in his vote, which was
accepted by the officers.
