the Hill City players and allowed but
four hits of his delivery, one OF which
was two two Dagger by Frech.
Lynchburg scored two runs in the
first on safe hits by Cloves and HofRard

The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-05-29

During the day the com missioners of
election made out their report, declsr-
Ing the above successful candidates
elected, and issued to.them the regular
certihc"te. OF elaction. In this report
mention Is made of the IRREGULAR ties
In the third ward with the statemen I
that the irregularities were such as
could nos be amended as provided for
by the statutes.
In regard to the Irregularities arising
from the fact that there were seven
moro ballots cast for city sergeant than
there were names upon the poll list, the
code provides that in cases where the
number of ballots is in excess OF tho
number OF names on the poll book the
judges Of election shall blindfold one of
their number and he shall draw from
the whole number of ballots, after they
have been replaced in the ballot box,
such number as will make the mum Der
OF ballots In the box and the list of
voters On the poll book correspond.
In the Third ward this was evidently
not done and the judges after having
sealed the poll list and strung the
ballots as provided for by law turned
them over to the commissioners.
AT the meeting OF the commissioners
yesterday morning Col. John E. Penn
appeared for the Republicans while
Judge William Gordon Robertson ap-
peared for the Democrats. Colonel
Penn took the ground that the com
, missioners had no other alterna tive
than to accept the returns of the ward
or throw out the ward altogether. the
! discrepan cies were such that it could
not be accepted and the entire ballot
was thrown out by the commissioners
1t Is the intention OF the Republicans
to contest the election, and the matter
will be brought before Judge Woods in
the Hastings Court when the next term
opens, which will be on June 2. The
law states that the pc YER lies with such
court to decide whether to order a
new count or order q new election in
the ward in question.
1t Is also understood that in case j.
W. Hsrtwell and j. y. Pattie were
declared elected, a contest would have
been made upon that decision, and the
case taken to the Hastings Court by tho
Democrats. as the matter now stands,
tho burden OF proof rests with the Re-
publicsns.
