IlThe evil of buying votes has been large.
~ dilated upon by the various members
Of the Democratic party. Ono might
suppose they had all become class lead,
srs or teachers in the Sunday schools.
This superstition however, was rudely
dispelled by the nomination election on
Saturday. Some stimulant permeated
voters while the Republicans were much
more orderly and well disposed. The fact
Is, certain influences were exerted to i'll.
huence Democratic votes and it is now
said similar Influences with money thrown
in will be used on the 9th OF June. A
corruption fund has been prepared by the
Democrats, it is said, and every dollar will
be made to tell, notwithstanding the loud
denunciation of bribery by the leaders.
The profession of honesty by the Demo
Gratis was a mere blind as will be fully
proven at the coming election.
On the contrary, the Republicans arc
said to be without money to meet legiti-
mate expenses. On their part the election
will be fair and honest and we shall soon
see which party holds the winning cards.

The House yesterday passed tho work

goes to the Senate flor concurrence when
it will become law, thus giving New

These unfortunate creatures should have
as good a place where they can help sup
port themselves as the citizens of Delaware
can provide 1t will cost several hundred

If tho bill passes the General Assembly

BILE as heretofore after the office. The
Office has never been q benefit to either
party but always bone Of contention
and left ulots of bad blood after 1t, when
the nominations and elections have take n
place, 1t has always cost the candidates
too much money to secure the nomination
and the election TO the office. We are
pleased to see that the office has been
fixed by paying the Sheriff q stated salary
instead OF paying him for his services in
fees The salary by some is said to BIO
rather low, but we have no doubt there
will be plenty both willing and anxious
to serve the county for the salary agreed
upon.

JIMS JUDGES CONDITION.

James Judge. the Scranton boxer
who is to meet Tommy Ryan, of Phil
adelphia, in a tWentY-rOund boxing
contest Dec. . in Music hall visited
Purcells Turkish bath with a party Of
friends yesterday afternoon in order
to satisfy his admirers as to his weight
Judge tipped the scales at l49 pounds
1t had been reported that he weighed
ljS pounds, which, if true, would have
made it impossible to reduce his weight
sixteen pounds and Weigh-ir at li2 on
the afternoon of the contest. As he
stood stripped in the bath parlors the
effect of several weeks of careful train
ing was apparent. The few pounds Of
superlluouS fat on his limbs and body
was not perCeptible to the unframed
eye and the muscles moved beneath the
skin in a fashion that signifies evil to
Ryan next week.
Ryan has been training for some
time with Tommy West at COnay
Island and the re3urts received here
indicate that he does not undercsti-
mate the ability Of the Scrantonian but
will be trained up tc the minute.
One of the DreliminaTies viii be be-

The fate of the Scranton franchise
will be decided at the meeting. II is
not true that eX-Umpire Donnelly, act

of prospective New Haven buyers, was
in this city recently and given an Op-

home or it can be sold elsewhere; much
will depend, however. on the wishes of
Wilkes Barre in the matter.

Wilkes Barre herself wants to throw

NEW SYSTEM OF HEATING.
1t is Being Tested by the Scranton
Railway COMPANY.

The complaint of passengers con-
Cerning the unheated vestbuled trolley
cars Of the Scranton Railway company
will be overcome very soon.
Within two weeks each of the ten
new cars will be equipped with an cleo
tric heating system. During the re-
cent cold weather the room and COM
fort of the cars, which had been calling
forth blessings upon the company, were
forgotten in the grumblings of cold
blOoded patrons who made justitiablc
howl for warm air. The howl will be
favorably answered. but there would
have been no occasion for it if the COM
pany had had less renairing to do and
had the opportunity in its repair de-
partment to keep pace with the falling
temperature.
The electric heating of the cars is a
very simple thing, but quite expensive
when compared with the old coal pro-
cess. About half-mile Of wire per car
is necessary in the operation. The wire
is not insulated 1t is run in spiral
form beneath each seat and heated by
the simple turning of a switch. The
electric current makes the wire hot
and the cold air which Circulates about
it becomes heated in the process and in
turn warns the whole interior of the
car.
Fabrics would be scorched by contact
with the wiring, but of course there
are precautions against that. The COM
ment merely illustrates the degree of
heat the wires attain. This heat cam
not be regulated except by ventilation;
the wires are either hot or cold ac-
cording to whether they contain an
electric current or not.
The electric heating process is not
patented, nor does it require the en-
plOyment Of men other than those regu-
larly employed i'm the company's repair
shop to atliX it to the cars. one of the
| Old-style cars on the Laurel Hill line
was heated by electricity last winter.
| Two of the new dOuDle-truCk cars have
been so equipped General Manager
Silliman yesterday stated that all the
ten new cars would be heated by cleo
triCity in two weeks.

REV. F. A DONY'S ILLNESS.
He Has Been Removed to the New
homeopathic Hospital.

Pev F. \, Dony, general secretary
of the Northwestern Pennsylvania
Sabbath union, who has been seriously
ill for the past two months, was taken
to the Hahnemann hospital in this city
a few days ago, where he is to receive
treatment for Eastrtis.
1t Will be remembered that Rev. Mr..
Dony lost the sight of one Of his eyes
suddenly about three years ago. The
first he realized that he was Sightless
in one of his eyes was while walking
down LaCkaWanna avenue. this city,
one day in the summer of 1885 4 stiff
wind was blowing up the avenue at
the time, when Mr. Dony to keep the
dust out of his eyes threw his hand
up over his right eye when he found
that the other one was sightless.
From that day he has been unable
to see out of that eye. He has been
treated by some of the specialists of
this and other cities, but without re-
cciving benefit At times the pain he
has suffered has been almost unendur-
able.
During last September he was obliC-
ed to give up his work on account of
q breaking down Of his general health,
and has since been confined to his room
at his home, 1918 MOnsey avenue. On
Friday of last week his physician, DR..
G. j. Burlington, had consultation, and
it was decided 10 remove him to the
new homeopathic hospital on Wash
ington avenue.
His condition yesterday was slightly
improved, and his many friends in the
eighteen counties covering the territory
of this association, are anxious for his
speedy recovery.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

With this wears defeat still rank
ling in the hearts of cvcrv coach and
player Of the Princeton team, prcpara-
tions are being made for next years
GridrOn battle. The good news has
been spread broadcast that King"
Kelly, the lIarlem lad, who has become
the greatest liEe-buclling half-back on
the gridirOn, has decided to return to
Princeton next fall and he will un-
doubtedly play foot ball. He is still
eligible to play as he has only played
three years.
IielIys return to college may change
the aspect of the election of next
years foot ball captain. 1t was
thought that Johnny Baird would sure
ly be elected captain, but Kelly's re-
turn may affect Baird's chance of cleo
tion. King" Kelly has probably done
more for Princeton with the possible
exception of Captain Cochran than any
athlete who ever Wore a big "P" on his
sweater.
1t is believed that Kelly would ac-
cept the leadership if prollered him
and Baird would not be adverse to
waiting another year for the honor
of leading a Princeton eleven. Besides
kelly's return,it is learned that Bow
Sic Reiter, this years star half-bacE,
would return 10 take course az the
Princeton Theological seminary. As
he has only played two years he is
easily eligible. CAPTAIN Cochran and
Rannarc will probably be the only alb
sentees at next years training table,
and it is highly probable that they may
spend some time here coaching the
team. From now on the Princeton slo-
gan will he, 1--WE must beat Yale" and
every effort will be made to put a
championship eleven on the gridiron
