THE CITY In COURT TO-DAY.

The Triennial Assessment Cases to Be
Called Up Before a Full Bench of Com
mon Pleas Judges-Great Interest Mani
fested-Figures From the Assessors.
To-day the judges of the three Common
Pleas courts will sit in banc on the trien-
NAL assessment appeals. No municipal
matter has been in court since the curative
legislation was under fire which interested
SO many taxpayers of the city as this. City
Attorney Moreland has prepared all the pa
pers for the city's side of the case. Among
other things he has the final official total of
the triennial assessment. 1t shows that the
cash valuation of all property was S274, ,255,-
559. The taxable valuation, as returned to
the City Treasurer, was S253, ,315, ,029. Since
the assessment was returned to the Treas
urer generations, reducing valuations,
changing classification, changes of property
and transfers reduce the total by $7O,-
029 93 This would reduce the tax income
altogether SS40.
The appeals number 260, and about 80 of
the best attorneys in the CITY have them in
charge. Every point in each case will be
vigorously fought in court to-day. One
hundred of the appeals are on valuations
OF these IA are from the Thirteenth ward,
81 from the Twentieth, II from the Nine
teenth and % from the Twenty-second
ward. Several of the downtown wards are
also represented in the list, among them
being w. j. Mellon, Kaufman Bros, Paul
Hacke, the Liggett, Murdoch and Hitch
cock estates and James Quinn. The bal
ance of the appeals are on classification. 1t
is expected that all will be settled by the
decision of the court on the first three or
four ken I'D.

AT THE HEADQUARTERS.

The County Chairmen Lounged About and
Claimed Everything in Sight - Gripp
Especially Pleased With Allegheny
County.
The activity which has characterized the
political headquarters in this city for the
past month was lacking yesterday. The
Chairmen were on hand all day claiming
with great confidence everything in sight.
They had little else to do. Every now
and then voter who had not given much
attention to the new ballot law called for
instructions In many instances such ap-
plicants were put through the modus oper-
andi of voting with a sample ballot so they
had only to 60 to their district and repeat
the performance to score vote for their
candidate.
Chairman Gripp at Republican head
quarters seemed absolutely happy as he
lounged in a chair and rested his feet on a
table during the afternoon. He said no felt
confident of Harrison's reelection, but was
particularly we'll pleased with the county.
Had 1 believed it possible the vote would
be so heavy" said he, 81 would have placed
Allegheny county's majority for Harrison
higher than 10000. It's surprising how the
people are turning out. Reports from all
over the county indicate the largest vote
ever polled. As far as have heard there
has been no trouble at any polling place.
At one district in the Second ward, ALLIE
gheny, more than half the vote polled at the
last general election was in before 9 o'clock
this morning"
That the Chairman was not talkingfor the
sake of it was generally understood at sport
ing centers down town, where considerable
n,n tol <oh ,nh
placed by other parties. Whenever a bet
on the Republican majority in this county
was offered at less than $4,000, there was
always money to cover it at even figures.
Chairman Bremen had a crowd of the
faithful about him all day. Like the other
Chairman he was sure of success. He stated
that number of complaints had been re-
ceived that in certain Republican districts
every voter was permitted to take another
person into the booth to assist in prepar-
ing his ballot. The Eleventh and Four
teenth wards were those most complained
of. Mr.. Bremen thought it an outrage
that the law was disregarded in this way.
''The Baker law is intended for a secret
ballot" said he, land no man has right
to take another into the booth with him
unless physically disabled or intellectually
deficient. Any man able to see and read
and having the use of his hand can mark
his own ballot. The law with very little
alteration is bound to be great success,
all that has been said
against it."
The judge of election in the Thirty-fourth
ward opened package of sample ballots
yesterday morning instead of the official
ones Before the mistake was discovered
81 of them had been voted, % by Democrats
and IA by Republicans. 1t was decided by
the County Chairman that those so voting
were not entitled to another vote, because
it was unlawful to open the box to remove
the tickets

TICKLED TO DEATH.

Allegheny People Think the Baker Ballot
System just the Thing-The Bond
Issue to Be an Easy Winner at to L.
Allegheny is tickled over the Baker
ballot law, and more of her citizens tried it
Yesterday than usually go to the polls.
There was an unusual vote out on the
Northside yesterday. A great many people
voted the straight tickets for fear that if
they tried to cut them thev would lose their
votes. The people asked for little assist
anoe in making out their tickets. In the
whole First ward there was but one kick
against the system. Then that man made
an apology after he had voted The cleo
tion officers think the vote can be counted
as rapidly as under the old system.
The one issue across the river this year
is the bond proposition, and from appear
ances yesterday Mayor Kennedy's pet
scheme will WIN easily. A year ago the
bond issue was not properly handled, but
this year every detail has been looked
after. Mayor Kennedy had 400 tickets of
each kind at every polling place. The bal
lots "against" the issue never run out, but
it was necessary to replenish the "for" kind
in a number of instances. Chief Murphy
and Superintendent Muth were ardent
supporters for the issue which would
improve Allegheny. These two gentlemen
and the Mayor were all smiles yesterday
afternoon. Mayor Kennedy was just q
trifle doubtful yesterday morning, but Chief
Murphy was devoid of fear. Just to back

said: 'Tt's hard fight They tell me
Harrison will win. That's all I know
about 1t.
Senator Quay was looking the picture of
| robust health. He was dressed in neat
fitting suit of gray. His cheeks looked
fresh as girls and he appeared younger
by ten years than when in Pittsburg some
months ago He was walking restlessly to
and fro in his room, when The DISPATCH
reporter entered. AS he walked he talked
to Marshal Harrah and another friend
Relied Upon the Democratic Chairman.
"What do you know of the election, Sem
ator," the reporter asked
'Thev tell me Harrison will be elected. 3"
"Who do you mean by they?"
81 mean the men at National Republican
headquarters, Chairman Carter and others, !"
the Senator answered smilingly.
"Does Chairman Carter know"
"Well, knew, when 1 was Chairman. I"
''Senator, who will carry New York
State?"
Il don't know. It's hard fight"
"What do you think of Indiana?"
'They tell me Harrison will carry. his
own State
'What information do you have of
Alabama"
''Mr Magee tells me that the Republi-
cans would carry that State if we could get
q square count down there"
~ hardly think that is fact" Marshal
Harrah interrupted. 'Mr. Magee told
friend of mine that he had to leave Alabama
to prevent his being driven out of there. If
the Republicans are as strong as he repre-
sents, 1 rather think he would have Jared
better"
The United States Senator Agreed.
eyes, probably" Senator Quay answered.
The Senator contrary to his custom on
election nights, did not have an anxious ear
to private telegraph wire in his Beaver
home. He came from his home to Pittsburg
early in the afternoon, and he went to
Philadelphia on the fast line at $40 last
night.
"It is not your custom to leave home on
election nights" the reporter suggested.
"No, I usually receive the news at my
home. 1 will get the result when 1 arrive
in Philadelphia
''That will be trifle late"
"No, will likely get the information
ION enough"
Then Mr.. Quay looked at his watch. 1t
was just o'clock in the afternoon. The
polls have just closed in New York. We
should get some information from that city
within an hour.
When the reporter was leaving the Sena-
tor bowed politely and said: 81 wish you
would send me any information you may
get before my train leaves"

One of the men reached over the chain to
explain what he meant on the official bal
lot. The marshal present requested him
not to touch the ticket, but to use a sample.
This example will give some idea of how the
polls were watched TO prevent fraud.
Not Much Scratching Done.
Straight voting was the rule, though
James Breen was cut in the First ward
where Peter Carr worked and voted for
Dalzell against the old newspaper man. As
a rule in Presidential years there is not
much scratching, but yesterday voters were
afraid to take chances with the new ballot,
1t was plain how to vote the full ticket
but scratching is little difficult, and rather
than have the whole ballot thrown out for
blunders made in cutting, the voters swal-
lowed the whole whether they liked it in

ON THE SOUTHSIDE.

A Falling-Of in the Vote of Several Dis
ing-Places Voted Sample Ballots by
Mistake.
With very few exceptions everything
went smoothly on the Southside yesterday
under the new ballot law. During the
morning an unusually heavy vote was cast,
but toward evening the balloting fell be-
low the average. Two of the largest dis
tricts on the Southside are the First and
Fifth precincts of the Twenty-sixth ward.
In the first named there are 362 registered
voters, but only 1877 of these appeared at
the polls. In the latter district there are
3O6 voters, but only 1863 came to time.
The greatest trouble of the day seemed to
occur in the Second precinct of the TWENTY
fourth ward. Here the Democrats and Re-
publicans had several wrangles over voters
asking for instructions One of the Demo-
cratic officers was positive that a number
of Republican votes would be thrown out
when the count was inaugurated. In the
Third district of the Twenty-ffth ward the
only hitch was when the election officers
discovered that from 10 to Is voters had
deposited specimen ballots. In the Fourth
precinct of the Twenty-sixth ward there
was no Democratic supervisor. Joseph
Dapper, the watchman, tried to perform
this duty, but had great
deal of difficulty in holding his end up. as
the Republicans opposed him in his self.ap-
pointed position. In the Sixth district of
the Twenty-sixth ward things were coming
so slowly about 4 o'clock that the Judge
fell asleep, greatly to the annoyance Of one
of the watchmen, who was afraid someone
would take advantage of tie circumstance
to stuff the ballot box.
In the Second precinct of the TWENTY
Iixth ward George B. Carle, the Demo-
,ratic watchman, became quite noIsy over a
point in dispute. After being cautioned TO
leep silence without obeying, Supervisor
3oodfellow ordered his removal, which was
accomplished with some difficulty by the
leputy marshals.

up his opinions he wagered the best hat in
the two cities with Mr.. Kennedy that the
issue would win ont to 1. From appear
ances at 8 o'clock last evening Mayor
Kennedy had conceded the Chicf his hat.
The Sixth ward was the doubtful one as
regards the issue. Superintendent Muth
made canvass of the precincts in this ward
late yesterday afternoon and was convinced
that the bonds would carry He said that
the large property holders were all in favor
of it. The opposition is expected from those
who own little homes. A tour was made
around the downtown districts and the issue
was winning from to to 10 to l. In the
fifth precinct Of the First ward there was a
light vote for the bonds, but every ballot
cast was for the issue. In the second pre-
cinct OF the Second ward at o'clock i25
votes had been cast and only 2 of that num-
ber were against the bonds.

ALLEGHENY CITY CASTS A LARGE VOTE

The general verdict in Pittsburg last
evening was that the Baker Ballot law is a
success, though there are ALWAYS kickers
against innovations and improvements in
the voting system. The election passed of
without excitement anywhere in the coun-
~, but the vote polled in the two cities
was very heavy. Early in the day it be-
came apparent to Democrats and Republi-
cans alike that the new law was working
satisfactorily, and even the most ignorant
voters were not having any trouble In de-
ciaring their political choice
After all the bugaboo talk about the
complicated system, voters found it
comparatively easy to mark the tickets
The majority went to the polls with fear
and trembling, but when they had arranged
the ballot and saw it safely deposited in the
box they heaved a sigh of relief and re-
marked, "Why, how simple. A child
could do that" Now this is the general
opinion of unbiased people who want honest
elections
The polling places were a novelty, but
citizens soon got used to their surroundings

Friday afternoon, November IS. was opened
yesterday. There have been many rushes
to the box Office of the Duquesne prior to
big events, but the rush of yesterday was
the biggest rush that ever was experienced
at that theater.
The programme as it now stands is the
biggest ever offered to the Pittsburg public.
The spirit of the prime movers of the affair
seems to have caught on the outside gener-
ally and every effort toward success is be-

of the club, Mr.. Richard Mansfield,
who is playing at the Alvin

OUT PENN AVENUE.

Lawrenceville Citizens Have No Trouble
Balloting Under the New Law,
Out along Penn avenue fairly heavy
vote was cast. The new ballot caused yery
little trouble, and no one was deprived of a
vote who reached the polls before o'clock.
The best of order prevailed all day.
Opinion all along the avenue was heartily
in favor of the new ballot.
The only fight in this district was that
between Senator Upperman and Jerry
Dougherty for the State Senate. The
Democratic candidate made a hard fight,
but when the polls closed all indications
pointed to the success of Senator Upper
man.
