Yesterday afternoon the horse of an
expressman stopped Short at the cor

and no amount of caiOling and whip
would make the animal stir. The usual
gaping crowd assembled, and suggeS-
hon upon suggestion was dinned into
the drivers ears as TO how to make the
stubborn brute move. "Pinch its ear,
shouted one. The ear of the horse was
pinched. but he merely shook his dead

At 357 West Seventh street, which is
situated in the present Fifth ward and
Twenty-SeYenth legislative district,
there were seven delegates chosen. A
total of ST votes were cast, and q. n.
Warren was declared the nominee, the
count showing that Warren received ia
votes, and James A. Johnson al. The
latter also received two tickets bearing
his name, but without delegates. John
son was the Labor candidate, and MIR.
Bithers, the vice president of the cigar
makers union, who stood just without
the window in the interest of johnson,
declared that there were but 22S votes
cast, making 50 votes to be accounted
for. Aid. Walter Book, who was
one of the judges, took possession
of the ballot box before the
polls were opened and refused to per-
NIT any inspection thereof, and would
not release the box from his grasp. As
each vote was cast, vigorous shake of
the box was given. supposedly for the
purpose of separating the tickets which
had been suUeptitiOusly placed therein.
But when the polls were closed, twenty
five tickets were discovered lying in the
bottom of the box, which were so nicely
folded into a single Wad that Mr.. John
son and his friends refused to allow
them to be counted.
The following seven Warren delegates
were, however, declared the choice of
the primary: Peter Thauwald, E. NJ.
Kuby. J. c. Homan, DR.. Faulkner, Jo-
seph Picha, f. j. Brings, Henry Schlot-
ter.
In the Third precinct of the Fifth
ward MIR. Johnson was more fortunate
and pOlled 70 votes against A for his
opponent, the delegates chosen being
Henry Harrity, Roman MOznette, Pat
rick Clarkin, William Willis.

st. AnthOnY's Hill.

In the upper precinct OF the Fourth
ward the polling place was at OPS Rice
street. The polls opened promptly at
O'clock. and war was Immediately de-
clared between the IngerS0ll and Will
rich factions, the bitter feeling increas-
ing until the closing of the polls at Z
O'Clock, when the cry of fraud was
heard on all sides. Both candidates
were present when the result of the
election was announced. MI. Will
rich, who received the minority
of votes, claims that the number
of votes cast is unprecedented
in the history of the precinct,
and that his opponent gained the vic
tory by Illegal means; that large num-
Der of non-Republican POlanderS voted
against him; that many votes were re-
peated. and that he would have been
successful had the election been hon
estly conducted. He declares his in
tentiOn of cOnteSting the seats of the
delegation declared elected. Mr.. Inger-
soil admits that fraud was practiced in
some instances, but of course is satisfied
with the result. Many tickets were
thrown out by the judges in cases where
voters had rolled two and three tickets
together and cast them as one. 1t is
claimed by the defeated faction that
many men came up from work with
their dinner pals and voted, passing
around to the other side of the saloon,
where they left their pals, changed
coats, hats and otherwise disguised
themselves. afterwards coming around
from the other side, again forming in
line and repeating their vote. The
IngerSOll ticket received 299 votes
against 147 for Mr.. Wellrich, the dele
gates being 10 Rosenthal, Walter Mel
son. A. Kaldunski, Charles Flagstad
and Alex NicOll.
There were two tickets in the field in
the third precinct of the Hill district.
and as result of this passage at arms
the regular c. j. Berryhill ticket was
routed by vote of l27 to IS, and the fol-
lowing seven Independent electors were
chosen: Lane X. Stone, j. }. McCardy,
William NJ. Bushnell, Z. ID. Libbey,
Charles Nichols, J. A. Eldredge, Harris
Richardson.
These delegates are, however, not
pledged to any candidate and are simply
anti-Berry hill. Either Gebhard Will
rich or +. q. IngerSoll will be chosen,
however; it depending largely upon
which gentleman will run the strongest
in the Frog Pond" district, as the
classic precints in the vicinity of the
Manitoba engine house is called. A

"A recent Cincinnati special says that
two brothers, Nick and Louis Perano,
keep Il saloon on Vine street, opposite
Court. Emma and Louisa Schnelle are
sisters. Their parents have a willow
ware store next door north, and thereby
hangs Il romantic tale of love and mar
riagc.
In his moments of idleness when he
ceased to serve his customers with the
foaming lager, Nick was wont to visit
next door and chat with Emma Schnell.
h was at one time an attraction in a
circus as a fat girl" She received IA
good salary. and when she retired from
the saw dust arena she was said to have
accumulated some money.
Nick knew this, and it was probably
an attraction in his mind additional to
the personal charms Of Emma. He made
love like a true son of Italy, and sue
ceeded in winning from the girl II
promise to marry him.
Louis Perano, Nlck's brother had also
cast his eye longingly upon Emma.
Hearing of Nick's engagement to her,
he proceeded to set it aside, if possible,
and substitute himself asthe lucky man.
He told her his brother was not tire
man for her. He was aid IN this scheme
by the girls mother, who preferred him
to Nick.
Emma transferred her affections to
Louis. Nick was so informed, and.
contrary to the ways of the traditional
lover, he did not commit suicide or any
other rash act. He simply made up his
mind hat he would marry one of the
family of his erstwhile betrothed. He
proposed to Louisa, a younger sister of
Emma, and a week ago Saturday, un-
oeknown to her parents, they went to
Columbus and were married.
Then Louis and Emma, not to be out
done, vent to Lawrenceburg last Thurs
day and were married.
Thus the Perano and Schnelle fami
lies were united, but not in the way or
iginally intended, and both couple
seem to be happy.

She was too light to sink very rap

AS al instance OF the strength that

toned that while Sprat was swimming
on his back, holding the babe on his
chest safely out OF the water, the little
cherub grabbed him with the left hand,
her tiny hand finding an elegant hold
in a nostril. When the sailor had freed
himself Of that infantile grip, his nose
began swelling to almost twice its nor

The babe was Immediately taken in
