A strange feature Of the disaster was the
fact that not one woman was killed and
only one was injured.

residents Of that place.

CHAIRMAN TOOK RETURNS.

the brunt of the hard work in taking
the returns, it having devolved upon
him to attend to the constantly busy
telephone. Ex-Clerk of the Courts w.

tective John Moir did most of the an

At Democratic headquarters on the
third floor of the Raub building, 1874

The returns from the Seventh ward
the First district of the Sixth ward anC
Lackawanna township stirred up big
enthusiasm.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-11-08

In the First district Of the Seven
teenth ward the vote at O'Clock was
$50, which is Just about half what II
should have been. The First district
of the Ninth ward at 615 o'clock re-
ported that only 100 Of It's 500 votes had
been polled. Ordinarily 800 is a fair
vote for that district.
The last hour saw picking up in the
vote all over, but the total returns
showed 1t was not as great as was
hoped for,
The first board to make a report was
that of the Third district of the Ninth
ward,whose returns were telephoned to
The Tribune office at $40
WEST SIDE WARDS.
A surprisingly light vote was polled
in nearly every district in West Scran-
ton during yesterday morning and af-
ternoon, and with the exception Of 4
few districts. the full quota was not
polled in any OF the wards. Towards
evening, when the workmen were re-
turning home from their labors, there
was some lively voting at the various
booths. but the apparent lack of inter-
est was manifested nevertheless.
In the Second district of the Four
teenth ward, lis votes were polled at
3 o'clock, and considerable cutting was
being done, the vote favoring Morris,
Durkin, Costello and Aten.
At o'clock SO votes had been polled
In the Second district of the Fourth
ward, and a slashing of the Republ-
can candidates was also apparent
there. A new booth was opened in this
district for the first time yesterday.
The voters in the First district of the
Fourth ward cast straight tickets and
but very little cutting was done, while
in the First district of the Fourteenth
ward. 107 votes were poled at O'Clock
and the ballots were pretty equally di-
vided.
At 4 o'clock 115 votes had been polled
In the First district of the Fifteenth,
which was considerably less than il
usually the case in that section.
Apparently little effort was made in
the Fifth ward, with the exception OF
the Second district, where 224 votes
were polled all told. At 4.30 o'clock but
105 votes had been cast in the First
district, and the balloting in the Third
and Fourth districts was light. The
Republicans were in the majority by q
large number.
In the Sixth, Eighteenth and Second
district of the Fifteenth, the Demo.
cratic candidates received good sup.
port. particularly in the first named
wards. where Candidate Regan is well.
known.
The usual party vote was polled in
both districts of the Twenty-first ward
| but interest was lacking.

PROCESS OF AMERIcANIzING
THE NATIVES.
Experiences of a Naval Lieutenant
Who for Time was Monarch cf
All He Surveyed-Difflcultie and
Successes of the First Resident
Governor Of Our New Pacific Pos
session.

From a letter in the Washington star.
When the big auxiliary cruiser Yo-
semitic, with a miscellaneous cargo Of
governor, garrison, windmills, brass
band, plows, horses, wagons, garden
seeds, field guns and all the thousand
and one appurtenances of an Al first
class, self-acting. automatic colony on
board, cast anchor i'm the lovely harbor
of San Luis d'Apra, Guam, she found
one young naval lieutenant, with an
unarmed collier and Chinese crew,
upholding the dignity OF our glorious
republic in this new colonial possess
sion.
The lieutenant had been equal to his
task, though, and the island proved TO
be running on the most approved
American principle. For six months he
had been monarch, nay, absolute EN-
peror of some 300 square miles of ter
ritory and about 5000 people. He had
appointed and discharged sundry and
various officials and had been doing the
warwick" act in great style. Glad as
he was to receive his mail and to see
his fellow officers again. no doubt there
was a slight pang of regret at the ne
cesslty for turning over his royal pre-
negatives to Captain Leary, L. 5, ~,
the newly arrived governor.

the latter did not happen, for horses
are rare indeed in Guam, and the only

very stately and deliberate bullock'

could not have been heroic on a watel

Greene County is developing rapid

launched a journalistic craft called
the Signal, at Lucedale, a small town
on the nj. j. & X. G. railroad in this
county on Saturday October 14th,
1899. The paper is devoted to the
development of the towns and places
near and along the line of the rail-
road. We are pleased to extend a
fraternal hand to our worthy brother
in his venture. Long may the Signal
wave.
