FOURTEENTH WARD.
FIFTEENTH WARD.
TwENTY-FIRST WARD.

The reason given by the majority OF
persons for the defeat of the measure
is that the people of the various sec
tions of the city didn't look at the mat
ter in broad. general way. 1t is
stated that the general opinion pre-
vailing among those who voted against
the measure was that the viaduct would
not benefit the city at large. but only
West Scranton and the Scranton Rail-
way company.
AS one advocate of the proposition
happily remarked yesterday: There
was too much of the you-give- U.S. pave.
ments-or-sewers and we'll-give-you-a-
viaduct sentiment prevailing" AS an
instance of how strongly the South
Scranton people were in favor Of the
Improvement 1t might be mentioned
that in the Fourth district of the Nine
teenth ward there were Las votes cast
against the viaduct and just one single
one for it.
In all sections of the city the viaduct
boomers heard this: Were not going
to build viaduct for the Scranton
Railway company. 1t must pay its
share"
All the city returns, with the excep
ton of those from the Third district of
the Eleventh ward. We're delivered to
ProthonOtary Copeland before $50 n.
m, when his office closed for the day.
No word was received Of the missing
returns and as they were expected in
every minute, no search for them was
made. If they are not in today the
prothonotary will report the matter to
court and the sheriff will likely assist
In having them brought in.

any open returns OF the vote on the

Good Prospects for the sanitarium.

OOOu IrOSpectS 1Or tue SAnlt8rluM.
The Military Committee of the House,
through Mr.. Capron, made a magnifi-
cent report in. favor of the location
of the national soldiers home, or sani-
tarium, af Hot Springs. This report
was of course prepared by Congress-
man Gamble, who is SO familiar with
all the conditions and facts relative to
this location. The bill received the
unanimous recommendation of the
committee and was referred to the
committee of the whole house, which
means that it is in order to be taken up
at any time favorable opportunity
offers, and we may rest assured that
Congressman Gamble and Burke are
going to take care of that matter. Mr..
Gamble writes: "There certainly is a
friendly disposition towards the bill in
the house, and have every confidence
will be able to pass it during this Con-
gress." The measure has never been
SO favorably consid cred before and Mr..
Gamble is not the kind to be effusive
in expressing his hopes. He is con-
servative, and therefore his express
sions of confidence mean something.

SOLDIERS HOME NOTES.

VIM Martin, head cook at the Home
is suffering from erysipelas.
Noah Siever was admitted to the
hospital this week. He comes from
Deadwood. Cancer is the cause of his
suffering
Jas. H. Smith and Geo. w. Grass
were discharged to the Home from the
hospital this week. 1t is hard work
for man to remain sick when under
Major Wade's care.
DIR. Knight who is so years old is
staying at the hospital now. This
weather tells on the old doctor nd he
wanted to be where he could receive
the care the hospital affords.
Geo. W. Grass who is spending the
winter at the Soldiers Home blames
the climate and the medical springs of
this place for making him feel better
than he has felt for two years. Mr..
Grass was member of Co. A, Seth la.
Init. and was for ten months a
prisoner of war. He met an old COM
rade at the Home who was imprisoned
at the same time and place. and they
have, no doubt, been swapping rem
iniscences. He is also an old comrade
and friend of w. III. Wilson, and says
he is going to vote for Mckinley.
Samuel Wilson who arrived at the
Home on Thursday, March lst died
Friday. He was in dying condition
when he arrived and before he had
been in the hospital 4S hours death
claimed the flag defen der's spirit MIR.
Wilson was Corporal in Co. X, 3rd
New York Inf. and did his duty in the
awful struggle between the North and
South, the struggle where honest,
strong, courageous men fought on
B both sides for the cause they consider
ed just. The funeral was held from
the Home chapel Saturday at . p. m.
Rev. Mahood conducted the service 8.
The sermon was comforting, earnest
pleading with the living, and spoken
in a manner that was easily compre-
hended. Three volleys by the firing
squad, "taps" by Johnnie the bugler
and the last honors for which SOL
dier wishes had been done for the dead
Comrade Wilson.

RELIEF FOR VETERANS
Capt. Palmer Tells what Hot Springs, s. ID.
Sanitarium may Mean. Believes Con-
gress will pass hill to Establish
It at that Place.

1t at that Place.
We CLEAN from Tuesdays Omaha
World Herald the following of interest
to our readers:
Captain H. Il. Palmer, who has been
in Washington for the past two weeks
as the representative of the national
Grand Army of the Republic in the in
terest of national sanitarium at Hot
Springs. S. d., has returned home for
few days.
The bill is now in elegant shape
Capt. Palmer says. 1t has been unan.
imonsly recommended by the house
committee, and will be taken up by
that body in week or ten days.
There is now every reason to believe
that it will pass the house. Its sue.
cess in the senate is assured because
two bills of the same character have
before this passed the senate, and its
members are now only waiting for the
house bill. Pettigrew and all of the
other western senators are prepared to
take it and make an effort to push it
through the senate on the same day it
passes the houye.
One thing that is helping us very
much is the fact that this sanitarium
with its present sl5o,o00 appropriation
is practically all that the Grand Army
of the Republic is asking of Congress
this time, save an amendment to the
pension laws relating to dependent
widows. This proposition has received
the unanimous Endorsement of two ma
tional encampments, and of all of the
department encampments in the sur
rounding states. So congress feels dis
posed to grant this one request.
The people of the west do not yet
fully realize what magnificent thing
this will be for all this part of the
country. We don't care how much
money we get now; what we want is to
have Hot Springs recognized by the
government so that we can advertise to
the world that the United States has
picked out Hot Springs as the place
wnere it sends its disabled soldiers for
treatment. There are now in the sol
diers' homes of this country 5000 men
who are eligible to treatment at such a
sanitarium. At Leavenworth, the sol
diers' home has been built at cost of
s2.Ooo,OO0 as its needs grew, and SO will
money be spent at Hot Springs when
once we get started.
For Hot Springs it means a city Of
25,O00 inhabitants almost Immediately
and a worldwide reputation as {
health resort.
Captain Palmer says that he will re
turn to Washington the coming week
:. to keep right after the measure.
