Scenes and Incidents Out In the Lawrence.

At almost every corner along Penn avenue
last night, and at every principal place in Law
renceville, little groups of men were congre-
gated discussing the issue of the election. The
remarks most frequently heard were, Il told
you so," and What did tell you"
From the temperance crowds could be heard
| such remarks as "Wait until the official re-
turns are published, and the laugh may be on
our side"
At the Twelfth ward police station. private

were were received as private, the people

A woman, evidently the wife of heavy
drinker and who was certainly under the i'm
preston that the Constitutional amend
ment had been adopted. was heard to say,
THANK God. Now Henry will come home
SOBER" but Henry at that moment came up
the street intoxicated, and ordered his wife
and pretty little daughter to go in the house.
The pool and billiard halls along the avenue
were other places at which crowds congregated
to hear the latest news of the election. At one
of these places in the Fifteenth ward the
reporter stopped and played a game of
billiards as blind. and also played drunk
for the purpose of finding out If any speak
easiest or ''hush shops'' were running in the
neighborhood., After the. game was over he
asked the obliging proprietor If he could
direct him to any of these places He
was informed that if he would have
been earlier in the evening he could have
directed him to at least l5 places but
as it was late the majority had
sold out. But nevertheless three places
were named at which drinks were being dished
out. This was in the Fifteenth ward. The
Twelfth and Seventeenth wards were equally
as bad. as information was secured in the
above-named wards in the same manner. These
places were undoubtedly where so many of the
intoxicated men got their liquor.

THE KAUFMANNs WON.
They Beat the Guskys In a Very Lively
Game.


There was plenty Of fun at Recreation Park
yesterday afternoon both for old-time and
modern baseball cranks. The game for 500 a
side between the Kaufman and Gusky mines
took place. and it is mild way of stating when
1t is said that it was a corker. Partisan feel
ing ran high, and although the game started at
$3.50, the shades of evening had the park almost
darkened before the last man was out. There
was any amount of sluggng but that was
nothing compared to the passed balls and field
ing errors. However, although the highest
quality of playing was not displayed the few
hundreds of spectators present enjoyed the fun
immensely. Kicking of a very demonstrative
kind was prolific
The Kaufmanns won by score of % to q.
Their victory, however, was almost entirely
due to the mistakes of the Gusky catchers.
Crohen. who pitched for the Guskys, did well.
In the second inning he struck out six men, but
his catcher, Kraus, allowed the third strikes to
get past him almost every time. There were
nine runs scored in the inning, and only two
little hits made. Crohen however, maintained
his courage and pitched well. Kraus went out
to center field, and Whiting came behind the
bat and improved matters a little, but not
much; The fielding of the Guskys was
wretched.
The Kaufmanns felded tolerably well and
had three pitchers in the box. They started
out with DAILY, who tired in the fifth inning,
nings. He was ''pie," }" and Douglas pitched the
eighth and ninth. He struck the side out in
the eighth and that really won the game for
the Kaufmanns. Messrs. Jones and Foster
were the umpires and gave general satisfac-
ton. Following is the score:

Things Heard and Seen by the Bulky Ballot
Boxes Yesterday.
THE other amendment proposed, that tear
ing down the suffrage bars. or voting made
easy, was obscured by the dust of the prohibit
ton contest but the proposition to make vot-
ing easy caused more apprehension in the
minds Of many thoughtful people than did the
booze question.
To THE women around the polls in Municipal
Hall, few voters suggested that they had best
be at home attendiHH to domestic affairs. Some
of the people even suggested that their homes
were in dilapidated condition from neglect,
and their husbands and children were sufferers.
One lady reraliated by saying: I'VE have sery-
ants, thank you"
AT the County Commissio ners' office the re
markable increase in the demand for blanks on
which to register voters swearing to residence
was noted and commented on. The deduction
was that there must have been much more
moving than usual. The greatest demand
came from the Eleventh ward, of this city. and
the Fifth ward, of Allegheny City.
A PRECEDENT in regard to voting privileges
was established IN the Third district of the
Fourth ward, Allegheny, yesterday. Ex-
Policeman William Atkinson was not allowed
to vote on the ground that he had not paid his
taxes himself but that he allowed political
clubto do so. Atkinson made two attempts to
cast his vote, but was refused both times. He
threatens q suit on the entire election board.

CITY HALL AGAINST IT.
The Omcials and Clerks Aid to Down the
Amendment.

The Omcials and Clerks Aid to Down the
Amendment.
Predictions were plenty last evening about
City Hall, and the estimated majoriries
against the amendment varied from 5000 to
10000 in the city alone, and in the county 20 900
to 5000.
1t had been announced that returns would be
received in the fire alarm Office but the defeat
of the prohibition measure was so readily and
conclusively settled that the politicians and
habitues of the hall were not to be found after
o'clock.
One City Hall official, when asked how many
votes among the different officers and employees
were cast for the amendment, said: II am
almost positive that every man in the building,
with the exception of two, voted against it, and
those two were only prompted to vote adversely
on account of reasons which were personal
not by the dictates of their own minds"
How did the police of the city voter" asked
the reporter.
Everyone was dead against the amendment.
Why, if prohibition had carried their employ
ment would have practically ended. They had
sense enough to see this, and needed no in
struction from their superiors beforehand as
to how to vote"

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.
They Become Discouraged in Some Places
Children and Songs.

They Become Discourage in Some Places
Children and Songs.
The women workers at the polls in Pittsburg
yesterday did as well as they could, but in many
instances they found that the task was so much
more disagreeable than they anticipated that
they withdrew from the unequal contest. 1t
certainly was an unpleasant JOHN many places.
The regular ward workers resented the pres
ence of the ladies, and, while they did not say
anything to them directly, there were plenty of
methods of making it unpleasant for the
women.
The Fifth ward was one place which the
women gave up in despair very early in the day.
At the Hancock school three ladies appeared
about O'Clock in the morning. but after vain
ly seeking for some one who would agree to
vote against prohibition, they withdrew. They
offered to give an order on Milk Shake Martin
for five gallons of buttermilk if some Prohi-
zionist would take charge of it, but no person
could be found.
Three ladies, however, kept at their posts at
the First precinct of the Third ward, the Mu-
nicipal Hall polls. They were surrounded
nearly all the time by strange crowd, who
treated the ladies respectfully enough, but
laughed bolsterously and sarcastically every
time tney would tackle a well known anti
amendment voter. The ladies kept their
temper and continued their work.
In many of the downtown precincts either no
ladies could be found who would undertake the
work at the polls. or else they concluded it was
waste of time to try it. This was true to a
large extent in the First, Second Fourth and
Ninth wards. In the Sixth ward the ladies
were very, active, although the votes polled
were heavily against their side.
During the afternoon several wagon loads of
children, all dressed in white, and wearing
white mop caps, were driven from poll to poll,
stopping in front of each and singing temper
ance songs set to familiar airs. The Sterrett
School children. from the East End, were par
ticularly noticeable. The sides of the big
wagons in which they rode were covered with
placards, requesting voters to "Vote Against
Rum. and for the Home and Fireside;" "Vote
for Prohibition"
At the State headquarters of the W. c. T. u,
in the Bissell block, there were very few ladies
present during the day. All the more active
workers were at the polls some place in the two
cities.

YORK COUNTY.
,,,rc,Ar. rE1EenAN no THE n1spI,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
YORK, June 1S.-There was an extremely
large vote polled in this city to-day on the
prohibition amendment. The unusual in
terest manifested on both sides brought out
almost a Presidential ballot. The anti
prohibition majority of 615 was general
surprise. The vote on the suffrage amend
ment was comparatively small, being de-
feated. The majority against the suffrage
amendment in the city is 423.
The estimated anti-prohibition majority
in the county is 5000.
