poor director as did six Democrats in
Scranton, Is not completely recorded.
There were scattering votes for Muir
ply, Democrat: Savage and Swartz,
Republicans, and several others.
The excitement was intense in Re-
publican headquarters at 10 o'clock
when the returns had been received
from all except the "Tammany dts
trict the First of the Second ward.
There was a suspicion that the returns
were being held back in that district
until the vote from all the others had
been recorded and a line given cn the
probable result.
1t was known the "Tammany" dis
trict would show Democratic majority
of nearly 200 votes. Without that dis
trict Engle and Jackson, Republican
candidates for treasurer and street
commissioner respectively had plurali-
ties of only 1874 and 1856 respectively,
so the strain and uncertainty over the
result can be imagined. When the
"1ammany" returns came in the dis
trict showed slight Republican gain
and Engle and Jackson elected by plu-
ralities of only IA and respectively.
The yells and cheers following the
final announcement was like roar of
artillery and continued for several min
utes The returns show Democratic
gains in the First ward, Second dis
trict; Third ward, Third district. and
Sixth ward, First and Second districts.
There was practically no change in the
Fourth ward. The other districts show
Republican gains.
The following members of the bor-
ough Republican committee. whose eff
forts have made legitimate voting and
counting in that borough possible were
present last night at headquarters: !:
Burgess Daniel Powell, chairman (First
ward); Moses K. Kellum, vice chair
man (Fifth ward): Byron Brady. Sec
retary (Second ward); George Phaler
CThird ward), Lafayette Ridweli
U'ourth ward, Joseph l.. Medway and
Thomas Sheppard tSixth ward). Scores
of other prominent Republicans and
not few Democrats were in the room.
The returns were received and record
ed by Secretary Brady of the commits
tee.
Not a little spirit was added to the
occasion by the music of the Dunmore
Drum corps.

1t was a clean Republican sweep.

1t was a clean Republican sweep.
In yesterdays city elections the Re-
publicans elected all six school direc-
tors by pluralities ranging from 700 to
100; maintained its majority of one
in select council, captured the hereto
fore Democratic common council, and
held it's own on the board of control.
The only solace of the Democrats at
large was the poor consolation of elect
ing their unopposed poor directors.
The city is now solidly Republican,
and that the men on the Republican
city ticket were individually stronger
and more harmonious in their work ex-
plains in a general way the result.
The appended bulletin gives the re-
suit of the important ward fights de-
tailed below:
Finn defeats Gordon in the Second.
James in the Sixth wins over Regan
and Clarke.
In the Eighth Melvin defeats Durr
and Zizleman bests Flanaghan.
Kasson is elected alderman in the
Ninth.
Shea and Monaghan are successful in
the Twelfth.
Coleman wins from Schoen in the
Sixteenth.
O'BOyle defeats Hoban in the Eigh-
teenth.
Coyne and Cusick win in the Twen-
tieth.
The Republicans received returns in
the Central Republican club rooms.

At 11.30 o'clock Mr.. Chlttenden an
nounced that the whole Republican
school board ticket was elected with

and the other leaders followed the
crowd, which started homeward when
the assurance of victory was given.
The Democrats had engaged Indus

there and no money to put one there.

his fists unconsciously closed when the
disastrous effects of the fight in Belle

Of the South Side were made known.
Secretary NJ. j. Walsh sweated at a
table - the center of the room, where
he and City Solicitor Mckinley John
j. Campbell and various others did the

There was some show of enthusiasm
when the election of Proprietor Melvin
was announced as a certainty, but this
was about the only instance wherein
the gloom was penetrated by a bright
ray.

The result is absolute proof that the

VICTIMS OF THE BROKERS.
Tomato Gamers viii Declare Their
Independence.

The Indiana Gamers Association is up in
arms against the abuses practiced by the
brokers, who now practically control the
sale of canned tomatoes for the whole
country. In order to correct the existing
evils in the industry, Il meeting of the asso-
citation was neld at the Grand Hotel yester-
day afternoon and evening, at which thirty
five tomato packers from Indiana were
present, besides fifteen from the adjoining
States of Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri
and Michigan.
The extent of the packing for 1898 was
discussed, ard it was learned that 81 per
cent of the highest expected croi, for this
year had already been sold at prices rang
ing from 20 cents dozen upward. This is
considered a fairly good price. The feature
of the work accomplished was the arrange
ment for all the canneries to pack their
products under an association Endorsement,
the evidence of which shall be a label of
the society. The conditions governing the
Use of the label are an inspection of both
the factory and the goods by q committee
appointed by the association. This, it is
thought, will insure a standard of equality
the association product. The officers are:
n. S. Martz, of Upton, president and w. A.
Sampson, of Muncie secretary. The asso-
citation will meet in this city again in a
month, by which time it is expected that
further steps looking to a merited increase
been taken At any rate the members pro-
pose to SO organize as to become independ-
ent of the influence of brokers, and be able
il necessary to handle their own products.

DID NOT SEE THE CRIME
MRS. GEORGE RAHkE. OF THIS CITY.
SUBPOENED AT LEBANON.
Reported that She Witnessed MUIR

Against n Candidate.

The Boone county grand jury is now in
vestgating a case in which there was n
possibility of an indictment for the murder
Of man who has been dead for nine years
with no suspicion of foul play until very
recently. Indianapolis is expected to furn-
ish the principal witnesses in the case in
the person of Mrs. Rahke, widow of George
Rahke, who was subpoenaed yesterday af
ternoon by Henry Ulan, a deputy sheriff
from Lebanon, and will leave for Lebanon
this morning.
Nine years ago last September, Perry
St. Clair, young farmer of Whitestown,
disappeared from the town. The night he
disappeared the corpse of a man was found
on the Big -Four tracks about three miles
out of Whitestown. 1t had been run over
by a train and was so badly mutilated that
it could not be positively identified 1t was
supposed to have been the body of Perry st.
Clair, and ever since it has been generally
accepted that he met his death by an acct
dent. He was nephew of S. M. Cragun,
editor of the Lebanon Patriot. Lately, how
ever a story has been started, no one knows
by whom, to the effect that st. Clair met
foul play instead of an accident, and was
murdered by Charles West and Robert Etter
in Sam Neese's saloon. The story goes that
Ulle muruef6fS TOOK the DOQy III Il carriage
three miles out of town and placed it on
the track Mrs. Rahke is said to have been
in the saloon at the time the murder was
committed and to have seen the whole thing.
Charles West is the chief deputy sheriff of
Boone county, and Etter last Saturday re-
ceived the Democratic nomination for sher-
iff. The story was started during the bit
terness of the campaign and the accused
men asked the grand jury to investigate.
The case has excited a great deal of atten-
ton in Boone county in the last few days.
