The Political Situation,

Tomorrow is election day and the in
dicatlons are that very heavy vote will
be polled in the borough. The Republ-
can leaders seem confident and ono of
them yesterday made public the figures
upon which they base their claim for
the success OF their ticket.
They assert tina: the First ward will
be carried by so majority, the Second
by 100, the Third by 40 and the Fourth
by so, total majority OF $50 in the
uptown wards.
They concede to the Democrats a
majority of 100 in the South ward, leav-
Ing the Republican ticket net ajority
in the borough of $50.
These figures, when shown to the
Democratic leaders, were considered too
ridiculous to be given serious attention
The claims of the Republicans do not
phase the Democrats, as the latter re-
member how often before their defeat
was figured ont on paper by the same
counters, and how far from the results
the Republican prophecies came.
The Democrats are confident OF elect
ing their whole borough ticket and their
ward tickets In the Third, Fourth and
South, all by maiorities which will leave
no room to doubt who are the choice of
the people.

The February letter of the Anthra-
cite Coal Operators Association is de-
voted to the subject of the new coal
road, the Delaware Valley and Kings
ton Railroad. 1t is figured therein that
the rates ou the 2,500,000 tons coal,
assured tonnage, will be a difference of
as much as 80 cents per ton on the
average product. In support of the
ability to do this is argued compara-
lively small price already paid for right
of way, which is practically graded and
ready for the rails, and local grades.
Figures are quoted to show dlscrimin-
alton by the large anthracite roads
against the individual operator, and
comparison is made with soft coal rates.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, in 1885,
carried soft coal 267 miles from South
Fork for 90 cents, and while the Read
ing met this competition, the latter
roads tariff rate on the prepared sizes
of anthracite was $1.70 per ton for a
ninety-mile haul from Schuylkil Haven
to Philadelphia. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western charged on anthra-
cite at that time SLIGO for a 154-mie
haul from Pittston to Hoboken.

Mrs. Frank Koleski, of Scranton, has
again disappeared from that place and
all indications are that she has eloped
for the second time. Several days ago
she left with one John Marloski and
they were arrested in Hazleton. the
woman being placed in the Scranton
Jail. Her husband visited her there and
was so softened by her pleadings that
he relented and she was set free. The
wronged husband also paid her costs
and secured the discharge of the man
who had eloped with her.
While they were walking home along
the street they met the man and a
quarrel ensued and Mr.. and Mrs. Koles-
XII were arrested. They were to have
had hearing Thursday morning. The
husband was there, but the woman did
not come and he stated that his wife
had again eloped with Marloski. He
believed they were in Wilkesbarre.
The husband declined to again pursue
them and he was discharged from

All the liquor license applications
from Freeland and Foster were granted
by the court on Friday, except the
application of George Hudok, which
was withdrawn. This was the applica-
tion against which remonstrance was
filed, owing to the proposed saloon being
located near the Polish and Slavonian
Catholic churches.
February 81 has been designated by
the court as the last day to pay for and
take out liquor licenses. Failure to do
so on or before that date will result in
the forfeiture OF the license The court
has granted l, ,204 and refused &c appl-
cations.

Bribed Shamokin Councilman,

The investigation OF the charges OF
bribery in Shamokin town council was

before the investigation began the hall,
which has seating capacity Of not
more than hundred, was occupied by
more than 200 citizens. On the outside
were several hundred more unable to
gain admittance, who pushed and jostled

cepted the money in order to give the
authorities chance to prosecute the
guilty persons.

Tho Lyon-Dunn Contest.

The celebrated Lyon-Dunn contest
case now rests for final adjudication
in the hands OF the supreme court OF
the state. Argument was finished be.
fore the court last week. The case
before the supreme court assumed an
entirely new phase. The court decided
that the decision of Judges Craig
Ehrgood and Little, seating Judge
Dunn, was final, unless a question OF
constitution was involved.
After the passage of the act of 1895
establishing a separate orphans court
for Schuylkill county, P, M. Dunn was
appointed by the governor to sit in that
court, and was candidate for election
at the November election of that veal
for the full term. His opponent was 7.
II. b. Lyon. The returns showed that
Mr.. Dunn had received 11,7s3 votes, and
Mr.. Lyon 11,707, making Mr.. Dunn's
official majority 76 votes. Mr.. Dunn
received his commission from the Cover.
nor as president judge OF the court.
Thereupon Mr.. Lyon contested the
election and the court found that OF
IL, ,7S3 votes counted for Dunn 952 were
illegal, leaving his legal vote 1881,
and that of 11,707 counted for Mr.
Lyon, 1,o33 were illegal, leaving his
vote 10,674, and therefore Mr.. Dunn
has been elected by majority OF 157.
From this finding Mr.. Lyon appeals
and Mr.. Dunn, although the decision
was in his favor, also appealed as a
matter of precaution.
