STEPHENS OBJECTION.
Thought He Was Being Imposed son Be.
cause He Was a Strauger.'BrOke
Paine OF Glass.

Egbert Stephens, an Ashley young
man. bearded the lion in its den yes
terday. He called down" the Scran-
ton police force to it's face. It was
gentle call" but the fact that Steph-
ems expressed himself in the sergeants
office at police headquarters in the
presence of three officers and the
shadow of the cells almost falling up
on him made the affair nervy, TO say
the least.
Stephens got to the station house via
Frankfurt man Goldberg and Patrol
man Matthews. The young man came
here yesterday to have a pleasant time
with his friends,
At the dinner in the friends house,
it seems, Stephens, as is the fashion
with guests, was bashful about the
eating. The result was that as soon
as he got loose from the formalities
of the friends house he became aware
that he was hungry.
So he strolled into the cafe, as he put
it, near the Railroad Young Mems
Christian association building on Lack
awanna avenue, and asked for frank
furt. This gone, Stephens asked fol
another frankfurt, and third.
According to the lunch man, Steph-
ems did not pay for number three. The
chef i'm the cafe is a small man but
pugnaciOus. He would not see his EN-
ployers duped out of five cents so he
interfered with stephens as he was
leaving the place with three frank
furts in his person.
In the cyclone which followed the
glass i'm the door was smashed
stephens watch -Chain was broken and
his black fOur-in-hand tie was pulled
from its immaculate background by
the clutched hands of the chef.
This made Stephens angry, and he
FASTENED up the avenue until he
reached Patrolman Matthews. To-
gether they returned TO the cafe,where
the chef was found in company with
one of the prOprietors of the night line
stephens was counter-charged witt

The highest majority any Democrat
received was 100 In every office the
majority has already been overcome,
and when the recount of all the dis
tricts is completed it is estimated that
the Republican majorites will run
from $50 to 2j0.
When the commissioners made their
report and contestants had filed their
exceptions and motions, Judge Arch
bald proceeded to decide what votes
were illegal. These he had in tabu-
lated form. the number of the vote, the
name of the voter and the reason of
disqualification being given.
To find out for whom the disquali
fed votes were cast, it is necessary to
open all the ballots, and pick out the
ones declared defective. The number
of defective ballots each candidate re-
ceiVed is then summed up and sub
traCted from the vote accredited to him
by the open returns sent in by the
election officers.
Judge Archibald has been devotine
