Supervisors were on deck and at work.
About fifty votes were polled and about
forty OF them were Democratic, or, at

George f. Newell appeared but did not
vote, He said he would have the election
declared illegal.
Everybody present, except few, treated
it as "bluf" and went on voting just
as usual.
Joe" Horton created some amusement
by trying to vote with his ballot
turned so as to have the candidates names
on the outside.

Do the people realize the cost of each
election? II is nearly $1,000. II Is the
party with the business man" at the
head that is the cause OF the unnec essary
expense,
"The election will go by default" said a
representative member of the Sherman
party who does not possess vote, yes
terday afternoon. II is rather late to play

Let no Democrat say, "There are enough
without me-" Last Wednesday only thir-
teen votes would have carried the election.
Were there that number of Democrats who
did not vote?
There is no reason why every Democrat
should not vote today, especially every
workingman, and when they are about to
vote they should remember who it was
that got them the half holiday they are
enjoying.

CARLISLE Pa, Dec. 5-Damage to
the amount of over 100000 was done by
the terrific rain and wind storm which the
Cumberland valley experienced yester-
day afternoon, the most severe known
in many years. The streets of the
city were rapidly flooded by the tor
rents of rain. In this city several build
ings were blown to the ground; trees were
uprooted and fences laid fiat, and in the
surrounding country districts the loss will
be very heavy. At Mechanicsburg the
storm became cyclonic in its fury, blow
ing down fifteen buildings. At Waynes-
boro the Lands tool works were partially
wrecked, and the Webster school house
completely demolished. As telegraph
wires are down, it is impossible to esti-
mate the extent Of the damage at present.

age was done throughout the Wyoming
valley by terrific rain and hail storm
which swept through this region yester-
day afternoon. The Susquehanna river has

ST. PAUL Dec 5.-On the center wall
of the west section of the burned Shepard
building, recently occupied by Farwell,

fifteen workmen. At least ten men were

injured men were taken from the ruins.
One of the wounded will die. The dead
include Contractor Wilson.
Ii was n scene never to be forgotten ~
the dead and injured were taken out, some
of them crushed almost to pulp. There
were men with all their limbs broken,
faces bruised and crushed out of all re-
semblance of humanity. Others were not
SO badly mangled but hal evidently been
instantly killed by the bricks falling on
their heads.
Building Inspector Johnston said: II
examined the walls after the fire and
thought they were solid. My opinion is
that the removal of the debris and exca-
walton from the base, together with the
sudden changes of heat and cold, precipi-

Ward Street Improvements Are Delayed
by q Slight Error.
GENERAL NEWS FROM THE TWIN CITIES

The large stable and wagon shop Of
Ardary Bros, on Liberty street between
Thirty-frst and Thirty-second streets, was
destroyed by fire last evening. The loss
was s2O, 200, on which S15, 900 insurance was
held. As an indirect result Albert Glunt

tai almost dead, having been kicked by q
horse. The fire broke out shortly after 6
o'clock. 1t was discovered by John Skin
ner, stable boss, burning in the center of
the hay-loft on the second floor.
In a moment the whole structure was
ablaze. The horses, 1876 in number, were
all gotten out. They stampeded on Liberty
street. and it was with difficulty that they
were placed il the veterinary:hospital,o op-
posite the burning stable. The heat by this
time was intense, and drove the firemen
back frequently, Company No. suffering
most severely, having the nearest position.
Captain McKinley's face was badly
scorched
The fence on the opposite side of the
street caught fire and the telegraph poles
were in danger. Nothing could be done to
save the burning stable, and in 45 minutes it
was destroyed. 1t was frame building, 1872
feet front and lis feet in depth. Under an
extension of its roof was veterinary hos
pital department, having a frontage of 100
feet and depth of 50 feet, and wagon shop
and engine room, containing some tools
and machinery for repairing vehicles.

loft and granary; the former holding nearly
100 tons of hay and the latter $3, COO worth of
grain. The total loss viii be little over
$1,000. The insurance is distributed through
the Arrott agency.
The owners Of the stable were James,
Robert and Frank Ardary. The former
said he was unable to learn how the fire
originated.
Albert Glunt. aged 18 years, attempted to
catch one of the runaway horses. He was
kicked on the head by the animal and suf-
tered a severe fracture of the skull. He was
sent to the West Penn Hospital, where it is
believed he will die. The injured boy lives
at 2s30 Penn avenue.
The Citizens Traction Company made
good use of its new fire bridge. 1t was
brought from the power house and placed a
the plug at Thirty-second and Penn avenue,
the hose was placed over it and the cars
passed under it, thus avoiding considerable
delay.
