THE COMING ELECTION.
Only Three More Working Days Be-
fore the Casting of Ballots.

Including today, there are but three
more working days left before the
election. which according to law and
the mayors proclamation, takes place
on Tuesday next, the 18th. AS yet
there Is no undue excitement over the
event, but the candidates are work
ing a quiet. methodical, business-like
way. which will probable mean a mus
tering at the polls of the greatest num-
Der of voters in years.
The principal issue this year, as In
the past few, IL the election of school
directors. The litigations and charges
of unfair methods made against some
Of the members of the board which
has characterized local talk the past
year will have a tendency to bring out
their friends and the opposition in
great numbers.
Among the members of the present
board is Gustave l.. Swigert and, al
though he has been a member OF the
hoard but a year, nc is regarded as
one OF the pillars of the board and
one of the most public-s spirited citi-
zcns in the city. Progress seems to
be his kcenest desire, and he is con-
tinually on the lookout for some means
to improve the condition of the public
schools. lie does not rest content with
bare statement; he wants it proved.
Mr.. Swigert was Il select council
man of this city for four years and
was it's president, making one of the
best presiding officers this city has
ever known He is credited with
knowing more about Cushing than
any public officer in the city.
Another candidate for a school di-
rectorship is Thomas Boylan, who has
had experience in that office and who
is making his canvass on the strength
of the record he made there.
The councilmanic nominees are also
quietly at work and there are other
candidates who have made no stir. 1t
is extraordinary quiet for the eve of an
election. but perhaps it will grow more
exciting in a day or So

The Trolley Cars Delayed.

1t was cold day to wait on the
street corners yesterday for a car and
particularly exasperating to the wait
er when, after long session of COM
muning in a monlogue as to the habits
of trolley cars in being late, the car
came not. But there were two good
reasons for long delays yesterday
morning in the early hours. The
schedule was suspended for Il time by
accidents, identical in nature. The car
leaving the power house at o'clock
got as far as Church street switch
when the forward axle snapped in two
pieces. The next car up got only as
far as Evans meat market, on South
Main street, when one of the axles
broke. The repair crews at once got
TO work repairing them, the cars being
hauled to the nearest switches

GILBY ACQUITTED.
Judge Instructs the Jury to Dis
charge the Constable.

The case against Constable Stephen
Gilby, ex-County Detective Leyshon,
prosecutor, was tried yesterday before
Judge Archibald and jury in the
court house at Scranton. Gilby was
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of felonious wounding. He had
shot at and wounded Edward j. Cor
man while the latter was escaping
from his custody after being commit
ted by Alderman Delevan on a charge
of larceny. The shooting occurred on
New Years night of this year. Cor
man was taken to the Emergency
hospital and has been an inmate ever
since. the bullet finding a lodgment
in his kneecap.
A few days after thre shooting Ley
shon came to town and arrested Gill
by on warrant. He was put under
bonds for his appearance at court.
The case has been twice postponed
but came up yesterday morning. After
the witnesses for the prosecution had
been heard, and without the defense
having put a witness on the stand
Judge Archibald instructed the jury
to acquit Gilby without leaving their
seats. The Judge APPARENTLY took the
view that the constable was acting
entirely within his rights in stopping
the escape of fleeing prisoner who
had been regularly committed. This
vindication of the constable will serve
to make men in custody of officers
more apt to go along without resort
ing to tactics of assault upon their
custodians.
Eddie German was taken to Scran"
ton as a witness against Steve. His
leg Is still very stiff and he probably
will be lame for a long time, II not
for life.

Wreck Ayerted,

What might have been a disastrous
wreck was narrowly averted at Thomp-
son early Wednesday evening. The
passenger train which leaves here for
the north at 4 p. IN. was speeding
along at the above mentioned place at
a rate of thirty-five miles an hour,
when suddenly the steel tire on one
of the big driving wheels flew off. The
trains momentum carried it along
several hundred feet, and how the
locomotive escaped leaving the rails is
a mystery. An Erie engine, which was
near. pulled the passenger train to a
nearby siding, where it stood, TO the
great displeasure Oh the passengers,
for about two hours. A dispatch was
sent to this city and an engine from
the round-house was sent up the line
to take the place of the disabled one,
which was brought home for repairs.

Succumbed to Her Terrible Injuries
Last Night.

Minnie Reese, who was struck by
an Ontario ana Western train on We'd
nesday afternoon, as related in yes
terday's Tribune, died last night at I
o'clock in the Carbondale Emergency
hospital. Besides the injuries to her
leg, arms and back 1t was thought at
the hospital on Wednesday night that
she had sustained severe injuries in
ternally. 1t was undoubtedly these lat
ter that caused her death.
She passed very bad night We'd
nesday and all day yesterday sank
steadily. At about 1.30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon hope of saving her
was abandoned and her mother Mrs.
Fred Wright, of Farview street, was
sent for The mother remained with
her dying child until the end.
Minnie was 10 years old and was the
step-daughter of Fred Wright. She
had been employed in the Simpson silk
mill for some time. At the time of
the strike she came out with the rest
oC the girls and for a time was en-
ployed in the Office of the Purple I'm
dcrtaking company, and at the ter
mination Of the strike went back to
work in the mill.
No funeral arrangements have yet
been made.

OBITUARY.
Rev, William A. Nealon.

TT Rev. Thomas +. CofTey. V. c., of
St. Roses church, received a telegram
yesterday morning at about 10 o'clock,
announcing the death of Rev. Father
William A. Nealon, of this city, at the
monastery OF the Trappist Fathers in
Gethsemane, Ky. No further particu-
lars were given in the telegram, and
1t is a surprise and shock to his rela-
tives and many friends in this city, as
when the last news was received by
his mother, a week ago, he was well,
and apparently the disease which
caused his death must have arisen
suddenly. Father Nealon went to the
monastery in Gethsemane a few weeks
ago to spend two months in retreat.
His brother, John NJ. Nealon, and
Father MofIitt started last evening for
Gethsemane, which is a short distance
from Louisville.

cathedral in Scranton by Bishop
O'Hara on August &c, 1883. His first
appointment after ordination was as
an assistant in St. Mary's church.
Wilkes-Barre. He was then an as
sistant priest at st. Patrick's church
in Scranton, and from there he went to
st. Johns church in Susquehanna.
From the latter place he came to his
native city and was associated with St.
Roses church, under Father Coffey,
for five years.
Father Nealon made a pilgrimage to
Rome, with Bishop Hoban and eleven
other priests from this state last year,
and saw the pope
1t is expected that his brother and
Father Moffitt will arrive in Gethse-
name this evening by o'clock. If
everything is in readiness they will
leave Immediately and return to this
city by 10 o'clock Saturday night. 1t
is expected that the funeral will be
held on Monday morning, but this is
not yet determined on.

brothers and a sister, Aida Nealon.
