Members of the Robert Davis Associa-
tion last night held one of their usual
Jolly stags That it was a success goes
without saying. The members of the as
sociation could improvise a good, healthy
stag without much effort, but when the
entertainment committee arranges a pro-
gramme it feels that it is on its metal
and the associa tion will not tolerate any
thing under its auspices done half way.
There was some little delay owing to a
misunderstanding as to who should fur
nish the music. There are always lots
of aspirants The matter was soon settled
and the stag got under way.
BY this time the big double assembly

able warmth. He told many of his most
amusing stories, some of which We're en-
tirely new and original. Miss Jessie
Clafflin appeared in character songs and
shared honors with Miss Girard. She
made a great hit, scoring several en-
cores. The audience went wild over her
song, "When a Coon Sits in the Presi-

RECOUNT FOR UNION HILL
Democratic Candidates Claim
the Election.

Justice Lippincott has granted an oroer
for a recount of the votes cast at the re-
cent election in Union Hill. The applica-
tion for the recount was made yesterday
afternoon by former Judge Hudspeth,
representing the Democratic candidates
who were declared defeated by the boards
of election. Petitions from all the Demo-
cratic candidates were submitted.
The petition OF DIR. Richard SchienIm,
who ran for Councilman-at-Large on the
Democratic ticket, sets forth that the
Election Board allowed him 965 votes and
his opponent, Emil Groth, 1O16 votes. This
shows a majority of 81 for Groth, who was
the fusion candidate. Mr.. Schlemm al
leges in his petition that Independent Re
publican tickets with his name on were
credited to Groth. There were twenty OF
these ballots wrongfully credited. dn adj
dition to this eight ballots which were
marked and therefore void were counted
for Groth, while similar ballots for the
petitioner were rejected.
The other petitioners set forth the same
state of facts. The petitioners We're John
7 Phelan, candidate for the Board of
Education; Jacob Sanders, candidate for
Constable; Joseph Kennel, candidate for
Commissioner of Appeals, and Peter Den
ming, candidate for Poundkeeper.
The petitions were backed up by affi-
dayits from Adam Schaeffer, Eugene v.
Knox. Joseph Lfndner and Jacob Sanders
Schaeffer, Knox and Iindner swear that
they witnessed the canvass of the votes
in different polling places and saw the
election officers counting Schlemm's indie
pendent Republican votes for Groth, and
also saw them counting marked ballots
for Groth.
Sanders swears that a man who wit
messed the canvass told him that he ought
to have a recount and he would find him
self elected.
The recount will be made by the County
Board of Elections some time before April
80, and the petitioners will pay the ex-
penses.

NO PENSION FOR MRS.SCOTT
Fire Board Can Only Award 1t
When Employe Dies Doing
His Duty.

At a meeting of the Board of Fire
Commissioners last night the Committee
of the Whole reported adversely upon
the application for a pension made by
Mrs Barbara Scott, widow of William G.
Scott, late hoseman of Engine Company
No. 1. Scott died from the effects of IN
juries received by falling from a plat
form of a trolley car while on his way
home to supper. Under the existing laws
providing for the pensioning of firemen
no widow is entitled to receive a pension
unless her husband was fatally injured
while in the performance of or attempting
to discharge his duty.
The committee decided that Scott was
not performing duty when injured, and
consequently it would not be lawful to
grant a pension to his widow.
w. Decker, of No. engine was fined
five days pay for failing to respond to an
alarm ON April Z. He pleaded guilty and
said that he had overselept. President
Erickson said that he desired to impress

ten days pay for being absent without
leave
Three days pay was deducted from the
salary of Jorn F. Fay, who was absent
without leave on April 2. Fay said that

was not accepted as sufficient excuse.
Chairman Erickson said that he should
have reported at once so that another
man could have been stationed in his
place.
