Burglars ruled Mt. Carmel on Monday
night, Entrances were forced into at
least six different stores, and in each
case the evident purpose was to steal
ready cash taken in the first day after
the general pay. In a Polish meat
market the safe was blown to pieces,
and hams, bologna and other meats
thrown in every direction. In other
places shoes, clothing, provisions, etc,
were stolen. Little money was secured,
the merchants having guarded against
such visit, as it is not unusual after
pay day. The town was never in such
state of excitement as the robberies
caused.

FOSTER TOWNSHIP.
Democrats Elect the School Directors
and One Supervisor.


The Democrats of Foster township
won notable victory by electing their
candidates for school directors, Messrs.
Keller and Doubt Richards was de-
feated for the second time in succession
and by larger majority than last year.
Kimmel, his colleague, was not in the
race. The vote in another column
shows that the Democrats swept strong
Republican polls, Upper Lehigh, East
Foster, Eckley, Halle Brook and Pond
Creek giving good majorities. In High
land and Drifton the Democrats lost
slightly on school directors, but not
Run the Democrats gained heavily oyer
the party's regular vote.
Mcclure, Democrat, and Horn, Re-
publican, will be the supervisors. Hand
long ran poorly throughout the town
ship, outside of his ewn poll at East
Foster. Both of the supervisors-elec
reside in Upper Lehigh.
The balance of the ticket is a mixed
clerk. while the Republicans won out
on treasurer and auditor.
In the vote of Foster the ballots cast
for Bernard J. Carr for justice of the
peace and Neal Gallagher, DR., for con
stable are not given. Both candidates
were on the Democratic ticket and had
no opposition.
The vote published today gives Foster
complete for school directors and super
visors. For the other offices East
Foster vote could not be obtained. The
returns from this district will not altel
the result.
Richard Edwards, the Independent
candidate for poor auditor against j. w
Maloy, received few scattering vote,
throughout the township.
Upper Lehigh voters elected Demo
cratic judge on Tuesday for the frs
time in the history of the poll, Johl
O'Neill defeating Richard Dudley by
vote of SO to 80.

In Freeland borough the vote on Tues
day was close. Jesse A. Alden, the Re-
publican candidate for auditor, carried
the town by 4 of a majority over James
Carey. To offset this victory, John H.
Shovlin, the Democratic nominee for
high constable, defeated his Republican
opponent, Thomas Gould, by votes.
The vote for poor district candidates
was also half and half, Leib leading
Schwartz in the borough by s, and Nc
Gill coming out 10 ahead of Rosenstock.
Neither party had its full vote out, as
outside of one or two wards no partic-
ular interest was taken in the election.
The Republicans carried the First
ward by greatly reduced majority,
McNelis and Fisher cutting deeply into
their ranks, while Welsh tied Powell for
the constableship.
A very light vote was out in the
Second ward, the Republicans getting
the big end of all the ballots that were
cast
In the Third ward Smith won easily
for councilman. Doggett made a good
run for judge Of election, but fell short
few votes, and Hincer, Democrat, was
chosen constable with only few scat
tering votes against him.
The Fourth ward had quiet election,
for once in its history the Republicans
winning by small majority.
Down in the South ward nearly 100
Democrats failed to vote, as it was only
a question of how much majority their
candidates should have. Had all the
Democrats of either district stayed at
home the combined vote of the Republi
cans in the two districts would not have
elected any one of the Republican
candidates. Patrick Meehan was re-
turned to council with 135 majority,
John McCole was elected director by
129 majority and John Molik had 145
more votes than his opponent.
Edwards, an independent candidate
for poor director, received two votes,
one in the Second ward and one in the
Second district of the South ward.
The day passed off very quietly, no
disturbance being reported from any of
the polls.
The total number of offices voted for
was twenty-six. OF these the Republi-
cans captured fourteen and the Demo-
Gratis eleven and one is tie, as follows:

THE POOR DISTRICT.
Republicans Elect Their Director and
One Auditor.

director, William Lieb, and the Repub-
lican candidate for poor auditor for

two years vacancy on the board of poor
auditors.
Schwartz carried Hazleton city by
325 and West Hazleton by 6s. Lieb has
majority of over $50 in Halle, in
Freeland, 43 in Jeddo borough and the
missing district of Foster makes them
about even in the latter township.
Carbon county rolled up majority of
from 400 to 500 for Leib and larger
majority for Rosenstock.
The exact figures of the poor district
will not be known una the election

THE POOR STATEMENT.
The Annual Report of the Middle Coal
Field Poor District.

The Annual Report of the Middle Coal
Field Poor District.
From the Lansford Record.
The annual statement of the poor
district for the year ending December
81, 1898, is out, and we invite the atten-
tion of the taxpayers TO the same.
While nothing may be stolen, there is
much that is hidden. 1t purports to be
a report of the auditors, but it is really
report prepared by the Board of Direc-
tors and signed by the auditors. About
the only connection the auditors had
with tho statement was to check off the
orders in the books of the secretary and
steward, foot up the totals and receive
their $40. The whole thing was done in
few hours, although it involves busi-
ness of $62, 900.
Forty eight thousand dollars were
paid out for the year 1898, yet but
thirty odd items are given as explain
alton of that amount, under the head
of disbursements. Here is sample
item: Salaries and expenses, ST.,
10000" Who are getting the salaries
and expenses? What constitutes the
''expenses" the statement does not say
1t is not legal expenses, for we find
S75. so for that; it is not for attending
poor directors convention, because we
find S76.41 fer that pleasure trip.
The report is very explicit as to the
number of night shirts and chemises
made by the paupers; and the farm pro-
duce is given with great detail, from
hay to sauer kraut, but when it comes
to hard cash the auditors gulped down
items involving hundreds and thousands
of dollars with the ease of sword
swallower or a circus gass-eater.
In addition to this years account of
S197. 25 for "of1ice expense" we find in
last years report S267.3 for "offce ex-
pense." This must be a luxurious office,
if it costs Two and three hundred dollars
per year to keep it running.
Besides the office expense there is
"house" expenses, S4oo.7l, and "hospi-
tai" expense of SPILLS.
1t is certainly in order for the audi
tors to make some explanation to the
taxpayers better than the statement
issued over their names.

Case Of Macon Firm Against the

MACON, Nov. 2.-The taking Of testl-
mony in the case of the Macon Sash,
Door and Lumber company and others
versus the Southern railway will begin
again on Nov. 26 before Judge John +.
Ross, who IS the special master. The
case has attracted considerable atten-
tion all over the state, and is one Of the
most important suits of the kind ever
fled.
The suit was first filed in the name OF
the Dunlap Hardware company, but
they withdrew last year and the suit IS
now in the name of the above men
toned parties. 1t is a suit brought on
the ground that the Southern railway
by owning q controlling interest IN the
majority of railroads coming into Ma
con, prevents competition III 1relgh5
rates.
The suit declares that it is against
the constitution Of the state for a rail-
road to control competing line.
a great deal Of testimony has been
taken, and it will only take few hours
for the complainants to complete. Inc
defendants will then begin, and 1t Will
probably take e weeks time to finish up.
When the testimony is all taken, Judge
Ross will submit the report to Judge
Speer, who will render decision.
The suit has been pending for several
years and the outcome will be watched

The train bearing the party to this city

The party of escort was joined at An.

came thence to Birmingham.
When the train bearing the party
reached the outskirts Of the city every
engine in the city blew shrill blast
and all the bells added to the clang.

STALLlNGS FAVORS BRYAN.
He Wants Richardson Nominated For
Vice President.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 6. In a
speech at Pratt City last night Hon.
Jesse Stallings, candidate for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination, said
that he favored the denomination Of
Bryan for the presidency with a good
southern Democrat like Congressman
Richardson of Tennessee, for vice pres.
ident.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Stallings
some months ago wrote letter to the
New York Journal, in which he pre-
sented long argument to show that
the south was entitled to the Demo
cratic presidential nomination and that
Mr.. Richardson should be the nominee.
This letter has been used by the op-
poneIts Of Mr.. Stallings in an effort to
prove that he was opposed to Bryan and
his declaration last night shows that he
now favors Bryan for first place and
Richardson or second place.

proved to be false, although the dis
patch itself did not relieve the anxiety
OF the more ti1nid in another direction,
as it indicated that General White, in
stead of sitting tight and acting wholly
on the defensive, as it is held in many
quarters he ought to Go, persists in
making sorties and risking another
Nicholson's Mex disaster. Generally,
however, the CHEEKY tone Of the dis
patch, showing that there is no anxiety
at Ladysmith as regards the ability OF
the beleaguered garrison to hold its
own, has had all excellent effect on the
country.
From the fact that General White is
able to take the offensive and she'll Boer
camp it seems that La6ysmith is not so
closely besieged as was supposed. Not
much importance. however, is attached
to the shelling Of the Boer laager. as
the war Office has no confirmation Of
the story that the Orange Free Staters'
camp at Bester's has been captured.
Were this true, it might have consider
able effect on the attitude of the Orange
Free State, which is not so directly con-
cerned in the conflict as the Transvaal.
The movement of the Beers into Cape
Colony is beginning to awaken British
fear that they have greatly underesti-
mated the forces they will have to meet
and that even General Buffers task
may not be so easy as anticipated. It is
becoming apparent that all the British
calculations, based on the loyalty Of the
population, are hopelessly at sea or there
has been very serious leakage of Dutch
sympathizers from Natal and Cape
Colony. Otherwise there is no account
ing for the large forces of burghers re.
ported from all directions. The war
Office, consequently. is being urged to
have more troops in readiness for all
possible demands.
The evacuation of Colenso and the re.
ported withdrawal of the British force
from Storm berg are still unexplained.
The former may be due to either the
Boer artillery rendering the place un-
tenable or to the fact that pressure else
where, possibly at Pietermaritzburg,
has necessitated the concentration at a
threatened point of all available troops.
1t is said that if the objective of the
Beers traversing Zuiuland was Pieter-
maritzburg they ought shortly to be
heard from. That the position of the
British is regarded as serious is sp-
parent from the fact that British cruis.
ers are hurrying to the Cape station.
With regard to Stormberg, lis claimed
that if it turns out to be true that the
place has been evacuated, it may either
be due to the impossibility at present of
providing an adequate garrison to de-
fend such important supplies against
rhe Boer raid OF to change in General
Buffers plans, whereby General Methu.
ems division will be landed at Durham
to relieve General White.
