The Officers All Out of Town.
THE CONTEST PRACTICALLY OVER.
Mayor Wyman Undoubtedly Winner in
His Fight With Stayton.

The Stayton-W Wyman fight for the ALLIE
gheny Mayoralty is substantially at an end.
If it accomplishes nothing else, it at least
shows that something more than the Baker
ballot law, or even the Australian ballot
law, is necessary to the conduct of elections
in Pennsylvania cities of the second class
if it be necessary to preserve popular SOW
ereignty.
There are but two districts yet to be ex-
amined, and as at present Wyman still has
a majority of 575, there is no fear on the
part of his counsel, Hughey q Bennett, that
he will lose enough votes in these two to
materially disarrange these figures.
Of the 20 districts examined but two were
found in which the election officers had
taken affidavits of voters not on the registry
list correctly, so as to make the vote legal
under the law, and the same detect will re-
main when the Baker law is put into opera
tion. OF these illegal votes Wyman lost
519, but as Stayton lost over 800 it is calcu-
lated that the two remaining districts will
still leave Wyman $50 ahead Almost any
man considers himself competent to act as
an election officer, yet here in city I'M
doubtedly intelligent, but 1 election board
in 35 did its duty as required by law. The
result seems to show ignorance rather than
criminality,

THE WOODS LUNACY CASE
That John Woods Is Amply Able to
Take Care of His Own AffAifs-To Be

Is Almost Finished-Tesimony Showing
That John Woods Is Amply Able to
Take Care of His Own Affaifs-To Be
Argued on Monday.
Commissioner McClay and the jury in the
lunacy hearing ex rel John Woods, of Mt.
Washington, held another session yesterday
and heard considerable testimony going to
show that Mr.. Woods was amply able toat-
tend to his business
Law Librarian Percy Digby testified that
he lived on the same street as Mr.. Woods,
Mr.. Digby said that Woods mental facul-
ties seemed to be equal to those of men of
his age, but he did not always comprehend
what was said to him, as he was hard of
hearing. The gentleman appeared to take
lively interest in general affairs.
DIR. e. A. Wood testified that he had ex-
amined Woods and found him suffering
from senile dementia; that old age had iul-
paired his mental and physical faculties,
and that he would not be competent to con-
duct an intricate business, but was fully
able to conduct his estate
A certificate was put in evidence to con-
tradict the claim that Woods, defective
hearing was caused by q break down of his
system. 1t was given by DR.. George S.
Hays to exempt Woods from militia duty
in 1888 on account of partial deafness. As
the trouble is of 81 years standing the re-
spondent's counsel hold that while age may
have intensified it, it cannot be said to have
caused the deafness.
Mrs. Nancy Mccormick, wife of the pc
titioner, and considerable number of years
younger, testified that her husband was
amply able to conduct his business and that
he was scrupulously exact i'll doing so, keep
ing his accounts minutely and never trou-
bled to make his books balance.
Mrs. Ada Mccormick, daughter of the
respondent, and the wife of DR.. Mccormick,
testified that she considered her father
abundantly able to attend to his affairs.
Mr.. and Mrs Woods live with DIR. Nc
Cormick.
The case will be argued on Thursday. 1t
has been streunously fought Judge Fet-
terman, for the petitioner. William Woods,
has had three lawyers pitted against him
and while Messrs. Shafer and Bigham
attended to the technical details, J. S.
Ferguson examined witnesses and will make
the argument. The old gentleman appears
to take the matter more coolly than the rest
of the party in interest.

DELAY BREEDS TROUBLE.

Backers of Miller and Fetterman Are Fight
dates s. stcwart-Craig Contest to BE
Heard Next Week.
The report that Congressional combina-
tion had been made whereby Congressman
Scull was to be made Collector of Internal
Revenue of the Pittsburg district is en-
phatically denied by the friends Of George
w. Miller, the Pittsburg applicant for the
place. The delay at the department in
making the appointment, it is claimed, is in
no way dangerous to Mr.. Miller's chances,
and it is claimed that Mr.. Miller has already
received assurances from the department
that he will be named to succeed Mr. Warm
castle. Mr.. Miller denied yesterday that
he had received any such assurances. He
said he was waiting anxiously and agreed
tha; he would be content no matter which
way the appointment went
1t was given out yesterday that number
of eI-Ju udge Fetterman's most enthusiastic
hackers were industrioUsly at work TO keep
the Revenue Collectorship from Mr.. Miller.
Among the politicians it is agreed that if
Miller is appointed the Judgeship will 20 to
some other county in the district. In the
Revenue district there are % counties, and
in the judicial district there are AZ counties.
Judge Fetterman admitted yesterday that
it would be unreasonable to expect both ap-
pointments, especially under the unsettled
political condition now existing here.
The fight boing made against Mr.. Miller
bv the friends of Fetterman has stirred
Miller's friends to extraordinary efforts, and
an ugly feeling is growing between the fac
tions which for time were friendly.
delay in the appointment of an Internal
Revenue Collector was embarrassing himself
and his friends, as they did not know Just
ROW 20 proceed. If Mr.. Miller is appointed
Mr.. Fetterman will not be candidate for
Judge Reeds place.

Detectives McTighe and CouIson Do Some
Good Work.
Miss Mary Simmons, pretty blonde, %
years of age, and David L. Allworth, of
E!dora, Butler county, are prisoners at

housekeeper at the residence of Mrs. Nancy

house of Mrs. Church the situation of house
keeper.
A short time ago two gold watches, $40
and a number of valuable trinkets were
stolen from the house. There was no evil
dence of burglary and as it was the time of
the East End robberies, their disappearance
was attributed TO that. Detectives McTighe
and Coulson began an investigation. They
suspected the pretty housekeeper On being
cross-examined she confessed and said she
had given one OF the watches to man in
Franklin. II was found out later that the
man vas David L. Allworth, of Butler

Many Roads Have Consented.

Colonel James B. Andrews is busy work
ing on the scheme to build railroad bridge
across the Hudson into New York. Most
of the railroads have manifested dispo-
sition to sign contracts to use the bridge
after it is built. A few are holding off for
no other reason than that they would like
to have bridge of their own and shut the
other lines out. The Colonel saws Congress
would never grant the privilege to one rail
roa as the others would be entitled to the
same benefits and the river would be stud
ded with bridges. The injuries to naviga-
tion, if such course were adopted, are ap-
parent. Colonel Andrews thinks all the
roads will be in line after awhile

Graham, of the Pleasant Valley line, SAYS
the plan is not feasible, and suggests NOV
ing fire plugs back from street corners and
placing them SO that hose will not need to

that A. T. Rowand, who purchased the
Government property on Penn avenue for
$3.50, 900, was unable to close the deal. Con-
siderable surprise was manifested at the
