THE PRE NARY ELECTION.

|
 polled in the ity primary Tuesday tha. has ever b cen cast in any pre- vioas primary election in Forresi City.
 The main int crest ceniered in the mayor and marshal, as usual and it is demonstrated by the re turns that it wss through this in' tersst ,h.t such an unusually large vote wss cast. The aggregate of all votes cast for mayor falls short but tws ot the total number of votes cast The aggregate of all votes cast for marshal falls short but eigh; of the total number of votes cast. On the other hand, the aggregate of all votes cast for snd against stock law falls thirty-sour votes short oi the total number Of votes cast. Thus, il will be seen that while the stock law WAS the only issue O: public policy which was voted oh in the election, there were thirty. four who, for some reason or an other, failed to express themselves. and we are still guessing as to whether or not majority of al the votes cast IS in favor of or against this law. IL IS true that against stock law" received 5 majority of fourteen over all votes cast on that subJec but that in no wise makes 1t conclusive that the other thirty-four, or any part of them, are in favor of stock running at large upon the streets of For res, City.
 So much for, the stock law. The election was very quiet and or derly, and VIC were glad 10 note that so much interest was mani, fested. We congratulate the sue cessfal candidates. They are each and everyone our personal friends, and We rejoice in their success. At the same time we have many warm personal friends among the vanquished, none more so than ourself, and to these we extend condolence and "fellow feeling Of sincere sympathy" We can say with them thst If we can, have the office ourself VIC know of no person whom we would ra- ther see elected than our su ccessful opponent"
 1 The large vote demonstrates an
 other thing. There were 2s4 vote:
 cast. It is safe to say that there
 were 36 white men in town who
 for one reason or another coulC
 not, would not. or were disqualified
 and did not vote. Estimating fvt

SALE OF LIQUOR TO FEMALES
Case to Test COnstituttomaIity of Pro-
 hibitOry Ordinance.

Washington, July 3o-A case was docketed in the United States supreme court to-day intended to test the right of municipal corporations to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor to fe- males. The case is that of Daniel Cronin vs. the city of Denver, Col
 Cronin is the owner of saloon and opened a wine room for women. The record shows that he asked for an in- junction to restrain the city from en- forcing an ordinance prohibiting the maintenance of such place for females claiming that the law is unconstitution- al because 1t discriminates against wo- men, and also because it deprives him of property without due process of law. He contended that he had as much right to sell liquor 60 women as to men and that they have as much right to drink as men have. He also referred to the circumstance that equal suffrage prevails in Colorado and argued that since women had been given the right of suffrage they stand on the same foot

CARNEGIE,S GIFT TO MORLEY.
A Acton Library of ,000 Volumes Given
 to English Scholar,

London, July 31.-Mr. Carnegie's gift of the Acton library to John Morley is considered very appropriate and meets with great approval. The Daily News says:
 This is. in some respects, MT. Carne- gie's mos: remarkable gift and one of the most princely and splendid acts of friendship on record. It is tribute of wealth to genius and MT. Carnegie could not have chosen a more fitting re- cipient. It is a scholars library and it needed, to achieve it's highest useful ness to be placed in a scholars hands,"
 The library consists of 90,000 volumes and is essentially the working library of a bookman and not that of biblo- maniac It is exceedingly rich in his- torical and ecclesiastical works. For the latter reason and because it would cost S10O,000 to erect building for the library, the Daily Chronicle thinks MT. Carnegie does not intend his gift for MT. Morley's private use, but rather that he should hold it in trust for some public use, probably of one of the uni- versailles, and preferably Cambridge, with which Lord Acton was connected and especially if MT. Carnegie provides also means for housing the library.

TEAM DEMOLTSHED.
While Riding to Grounds Their 'Busis
 Struck by a Train.

Binghamton, N. Y, July 90.-The band wagon which was conveying the Ilion baseball team to Suburban park this afternoon was struck at the Broad street crossing in Lestershire by an Erie train and the driver was instantly killed and six others were injured, one seriously. Both horses were also killed. The dead and injured are:
 Charles H. Lewis (colored), driver, Binghamton, skull fractured, instantly killed.
 Arthur Signor, seven years old, Bing- hamton, left leg cut off, three severe scalp wounds, injuries serious.
 L. w. Hess, Nanticoke, Pa, left leg broken, injured internally, bruised about body.
 Howard J. Earl, New York city, man. ager of Ilion team, back wrenched, bad ly bruised.
 George Hanley Oswego, right fielder of Tlion team, back wrenched.
 Charles Morse, Auburn, Me, pitcher of Ilion team, back and neck wrenched, bruised about body.
 The view of the track west of the crossing is shut off by the station and a high bluff, and the occupants of the wagon claim that the engineer of the train, John De Lancey, of this city, fail- ed to blow his whistle or ring the bell It is claimed by passengers that the train, which was forty minutes late, was running seventy miles an hour. The band wagon was descending the hill toward the crossing slowly, the brake being on. The players were laughing and joking and the horses were almost on the train, when young boy, Harry Wheeler, of Lestershire, at great risk jumped on the track and tried to warn them. The driver, with out thought of himself, turned to the others in the wagon and yelled to them to jump. He had plenty of time to save himself, but stuck to his post, and when the train struck the horses he was thrown head foremost against a freight car and instantly killed. Catch CT Shea. of the Ilion team, attempted to save the Signor boy on the front seat, but was unsuccessful.
 Pitcher Hess and his father, who had come here to-day to see his son play, were on the rear of the wagon when the train struck and were hurled twen- ty feet, landing on the tracks. The wagon was turned completely around and badly damaged The horses were dragged 250 feet The train ran nearly half A mile before it could be stopped

ILLINOIS CENTRAL,S COUP.
Buys Road 10 Keep l., & N. Out of
 Chicago.

Chicago, July 3O.--The Record-Herald tomorrow will say: "The Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad has been sold, and the purchaser is said to be the Illi nois Central. The latter company has quietly executed a coup whereby pre- sumptive dangerous competitor, the Louisville and Nashville, will be kept out of Chicago.
 That the Eastern Illinois has at last changed hands little doubt remains, the information to that effect coming from one of the large stockholders, who is also a close friend of H. H. Porter, the chairman of the board. It is under stood that the control was obtained by paying $250 per share for the stock owned by H. H. Porter, the largest in- dividual stockhoIder, and the stock held by certain of his friends. Several times before it has been rumored that the H. linois Central had purchased the road but each time the rumor remained un- confirmed"

MITCHELL SAYS ITS TOO BAD.
Declines, However, to Express Further
 Opinion on Outbreak.

Opinion on Outbreak.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 30.-President Mitchell was shown an Associated Press dispatch from Shenandoah tonight giv- ing the news of the serious riot there. MT. Mitchell said it was too bad, but in the absence of full particulars he did not care to express an opinion. It has been known, however, that ever since Monday MT. Mitchell has been in com- the miners union in the Schuylkill re- zion, and as he has always favored peace it is presumed he warned his sub- ordinate officers to keep their followers in control.
 All the coal operators here are watch ing developments tonight. It is re- ported that the Raub Coal company, at Luzerne borough, has offered to take back all it's own engineers, pumpmen and fremen and give them an eight hour day if they will return to work at once. It is said the company has had more or less trouble in keeping it's mine free from water with the new men en- ployed since the old hands quit work The application of the company has been referred to the district board of United Mine Workers. It is not believ- ed that the old men will be allowed to return to work. The ruling of the board in tho. past has been that, having refus- ed the demand of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen when it was first made, the strikers cannot return to their old positions until all the employees are talk en back.

FUNERAL TURNED INTO RIOT.
JEWISH MOURNERS IN NEW
 FORK RESENT INSULT. >

Empioyes of the Hoe company, Press Builders, Turn Water on the Pros cessioM of Rabbi Jacob Joseph From the Factory Windows Crowd Retali- ntes by Breaking sI,a0o Worth of Windows Police Reserve es Called Out New York, July 30.-The funeral of the late Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head of the othordox Hebrews of the United States which was held here to-day was the occasion of one of the most re- markable demonstrations ever witness ed in this city and led to collision be- tween the masses of Jewish mourners, the employees of the Hoe Press com- pany, and the police. The streets were packed with thousands of Hebrews stores were generally closed and every point of vantage along the route taken by the funeral procession to the differ ent synagogues was crowded. A. ." Directly in front of the house where the body had lain in state for the last few days over 100 patrolman kept the surging crowd from the entrance with considerable difficulty. After the ser- vices at the house the body was taken to each of the six synagogues on the East Side where brief services were held. When the procession was passing the printing press factory of R. Hoe & Co.,, on Grand street, on its way to the cemetery in Brooklyn, employees of the factory emptied pails of water from the windows of an upper floor onto the spectators massed upon the sidewalk and onto the mourners. Pail after pail, it was said, was emptied on the throng. Then overalls and clothing soaked in water came down from above.
 The angry popuIace, most of whom were Hebrews, retailated by throwing stones, sticks and other missilees into the factory windows and in few min- utes there was scarcely whole pane of glass on the Grand street side of the factory. Then some one in the factory turned on a hose and played it indis- criminately all over the funeral process
 
 streams were playing on the crowd. Drivers of mourning carriages whipped up their horses. trampling over citizens and the stronger men trampled women and children under foot in their efforts to escape.
 The crowd charged into the lower floors of the factory, causing consterna- tion among the Hoe employees there, for they apparently had no knowledge of what their co-workers had been doing in the upper stories There was great deal of free fighting, and several per- sons were hurt.
 The police had in the meantime taken a hand in the trouble and were clubbing the people right and left. They were, however, unable to cope with the crowd and the reserves of half a dozen pre- cincts were dispatched to the scene It was more than half an hour before or der was restored and the streets in the vicinity of the factory cleared.

BALTIMoRE'S MAYOR SNUBBED.
Not Among Those Decorated by
 Emperor William.

Baltimore, Md, July SO.-Much com ment was occasioned here to-day when it was found that Mayor Hayes was not among those upon whom the em- peror of Germany had conferred decora- tions, incidental to the recent visit to this country of Prince Henry. The ar gument that the stay of the prince in this city was of too short duration to admit of an official entertainment was answered by the fact that in Cincinnati a similar stop was made and that upon Mayor Fleischmann was bestowed the order of the red eagle of the third class. It is suggested that Mayor Hayes in his address to Prince Henry made no reference to the emperor but as the mayor said afterward, he welcomed the prince as a man, rather than as a royal parsonage"

 The appointment has produced fav- orable impression It is benerally beiiev- ed that American affairs will be dealt with under Cardinal Gotti with greater equanimity than under his predecessor, Cardinal Ledochowski, who had the rep utation of favoring Germans and Poles to the detriment of Irish-Americans.
