THIS IS ELECTION DAY.
Indications Point to a Large Vote
for What Is Practically an
OF Year.

This is election day, and from all in
dications there will be good-sized
vote polled for what is practically an
off year.
In nearly all of the wards there is 4
lively local fight on that will have a
tendency to get out big vote, and the
fact that such important improvements
as sewers and a viaduct are to be voted
for or against will get many men to
the polls who might otherwise be in
different.
In all of the odd numbered wards of
the city select councilmen will be elect
ed today and in the even numbered
wards candidates for common council
and school controller are to be selected
In a few wards aldermen are to be
voted for. In each of the siXty-two dis
tricts of the city a judge and an in
spector of election and register of
voters will be chosen.
The only candidates to be voted for
in the city at large are the men nomi-
mated by the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis for school directors. c. c. Fer
ber and Major f. ID. Fellows are the
Republican nominees and deserve to be
elected. They will make model school,
directors. Dr. John OMalley and Johr
Gibbons are the Democratic candi-
dates.

street, one of the oldest residents OF

been ailing for a long time his ending
was very peaceful and he was sur
rounded by his relatives. Deceased

April 1, 1888.
With his wife, who survives him at
the age of IS years, Mr. Richards emf
grated to this country in August. 1888,
and settled in Carbondale. coming to
Scranton in 1865, where he has since
resided. a singular coincidence in
connection with his life in Carbondale
was the fact that Judge Edwards
grand father boarded with Mr.. and
Mrs. Richards in Carbondale when he
came to America and after his return
to Wales. where he died, his family
came here. Mrs Edwards. a daugh-
ter of the deceased, afterwards became
the wife of the present Judge.
Mr.. Richards life during the many
years he was a resident of West Scran-
ton was spent in quiet manner and.
although his circle Of acquaintances
were wide, he preferred the simple
home life to any other and could al
ways be found among his children. Be-
sides his wife. Mrs. Margaret Rich
ards, there survives him the following
sons and daughters: d. Il. Richards.
Joshua Richards, John T. Richards.
Mrs. H. NJ. Edwards, Mrs. j. B. Peck.
Mrs. Annie Phillips. all of West Scran-
ton, and Mrs. William Davis, Of Ply
mouth.
Deceased had twenty two grand
children and six great-grand children
Mr.. and Mrs. Richards would have cell
ebrated their sixty-seventh wedding
anniversary next April had he lived
The arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed. but 1t is known
that the interment will be made in
Washburn street from the fact that
deceased years ago had substantial
monument erected to his memory al
that cemetery.

MADE A WONDERFUL RECORD.
Business of the Prudential Insurance
Company During 1899.

The Prudential Insurance Company Of
America, Home Office. Newark, N. j..
the pioneer of industrial insurance in
this country, and for the last fourteen
years popular in Ordinary Life 1nsur-
ance, made wonderful record during
the year ending Dec. 31st., 1899.
In the Industrial department it issued
new business to the amount Of nearly
$l65. 500, ,000 and in the Ordinary depart
ment over $56.900OO0, making a total
Of nearly 5000, 100000.
The aggregate of the Company's bus
mess for 1899 shows a total insurance in
force of over one-half billion dollars.
($502, 2,201, 1850, a gain over last year Of
more than $S7,600,O00, and an amount
exceeded by but four companies in the
United States. but by no company
whose age is less than The Prudential's.
and which confines it's operations eX-
clusively to the United States, as does
the Prudential.
The results obtained by the company
in it's Field work do not, however, over
top it's financial gains. The Prudential
enters the year 1900 with total assets
Of nearly S34,OOO.OOO, over $5,OOO.oOO more
than it had last year. The annual in
come of the company now amounts to
over $50 900. 900 while it's surplus has in
