Pawtucket.

The primary meetings Of the Republic
cons were held in the several ward rooms
last evening and were well attended. The
result of the meeting was surprise party
TO at least part Of the voters. Aldermen
White and Tiepke were both making a
strong canvass, and it was generally
thought that Mr.. White would carry four
of the five wards, but when he carried the
first ward, the home of Alderman Ticpke,
everybody was surprised. Mr.. Tiepke has
carried the first ward each time he has
run for any Office, and even the White
men thought it impossible to dislodge him
there. But the White workers have been
hustling and the result is that unless some
other candidate turns up suddenly as a
sort Of dark horse Alderman White will
be the Republican candidate for mayor.
The vote in the several wards was as
follows:
In Ward the White delegates were
elected by vote of 1874 to 10l.
In the Second Ward the first delegate
was elected 20 to "a, and the remainder
nominated by reclamation.
In the Third Ward the first delegate, q
White man, received 1l9 votes out Of IA,
and the Others were nominated by accla-
nation.
In the Fourth Ward the White delegates
were nominated almost without opposi-
tion, and in the Fifth the White delega-
tion was chosen by good-sized margins.
The Board of Aldermen met last night
and transacted a good deal of the usual
business concerning claims, bills and ordi-
nances. The most important of the even
ing's business was the veto of the gravel
land ordinance by Mayor Goodwin, whose
reasons for his action are purely financial
ones with view TO a saving of soney for
the city, as suitable land can be purchased
at n lower figure elsewhere.
In the District Court this morning
William II. Walling, sewing machine
agent, was arranged for embezzelment,

tinued to Oct. IL.
Two common drunkards were sent tn

EVENING SCHOOLS DELAYED.
Controversy Between Dir. Cosgrove and
Phillips About Mr.. Cooney.

The evening school committee has given
up the opening of the schools on Monday
