The Primary Election.

The primary election today, while
allow and devoid of excitement, has been
marked by earnestness and determine
ton. The champions of the candidates
for the Mayoralty have allowed no grass
to grow under their feet and they have
fitted to and fro on loot and in vehicles
in order TO enlist sympathy and support
for their favorites. As was stated Sat
urday, no vital issues have been before
suffragans. Two gentlemen-well known
and enjoying the respect Of their iei-
low citizens-are in the race. One has
long enjoyed a record on the political
track and the other, already prominent
in public affairs, is endeavoring to ac-
quire one. The country will be safe no
matter which may come in first.
There have been many speculations
during the day as to the result. Some
imagine their candidate will beat by sew
eral lengths, others by half, quarter
or a nose. There has also been consid-
cradle animation shown by candidates
for the Board of Aldermen aud Common
Council. Polls were opened at sunrise
at the following places First ward, on
the south side of Prince street, between
Lee and Union; Second, City Hotel
Third, Odd Fellows Hall; Fourth
Friendship engine house.
The voting was slow, from the fact that
but about one-third the voters of by-gone
DAYS for one reason or another were quail
fed. Between eleven and twelve hun
bred only had met the requirements OF
the law concerning the payment OF the
capitation tax, and percentage OF this
number had not registered, while some
were out of the city. Besides there are
always some citizens who are letharglc
on election days. 1t is therefore sup
posed that the total vote which shall bt
cast will not exceed 900. The polls will
close at 1906 this evening. The number
of votes cast up to 4 O'Clock was as FOL
lows:

Domocratic Committee.

The city democratic committee held a
meeting at the Hotel Fleischmann Sat
urday night There were present Chair
m.n Charles Bendheim. Theodore Cook
ecretary. aud Messrs Oscar Carter,
George L. Simpson and Milton Fairfax.
A number of candidates were also pres
ent.
Messrs. A. d. Brockett and Harrison
Kirk, IT,, committee from the Citizens
Progressive Association, appeared and
protested against the ruling of the COM
mittee that the names of Messrs. Worth
Hulfsh and w. H. McCuen, Of the
Third ward, should not be printed on
the regular tickets.
Mr.. Cook stated that the name OF
Worth Hulfsh, who was candidate for
the board ofaldermen in the Third ward,
and that of w. II. McCuen, who was
a candidate for the common council in
the Third ward, had not been placed on
the ticket. inasmuch as they were re-
puhllcans. The secretary stated also
that Theophilus Ballenger had Withdrawn
his name and w. w. Ballenger's name
had been placed on the ticket In his
stead for alderman in the Second ward
Chairman Bcndheim said that any
votes for person known to be arepuo1-
can would not be counted at the
coming primary; he wanted to be courte-
Gus 10 all, but as democrats the COM
mittee must observe party rules, for II
not. they might just as we'll do away
with the primary. He held that II one
republicans name was placed on the
ticket others could be.
Mr.. Brockett stated that he had un-
derstood that the word participate
had been used in connection with allow
ing all whites to run in the election, and
for that reason, as he understood par
ticipate to mean to take part, he mac
placed Mr.. Hulfish's name before the
committee He asked the committee
TO rescind its former action in refusing
70 place Mr.. Hulfsh's name on the
ticket and said that if Mr.. Hulfish'
name was allowed to remain and he was
defeated he would abide the decision OF
the primary. Otherwise he would be
candidate at the general election.
Mr.. Kirk concurred in Mr.. Brockett
remarks.
Mr.. Bendheim aud Mr.. Simpson OPP
posed any change in the ruling OF the
committee. and held that only democrats
should be on a democratic ticket; they
said that what was meant by "particl'
pate" even if that word had been USED
was that those who were not democrats
but who would pledge themselves t.
support the nominees of the democratic
party might take part in the primary t
the extent only of voting.
The secretary said that this rule wa
the same as that which had governed the
primaries for years past. =.
1t was decided to make no change II
the ruling of the committee and tina
should any republicans receive votes a
the primary such votes would not o'
counted.
The secretary reported that all tn
candidates for the Board of Aldermen
and the Common Council had paid thei
required pro rata assessment.
Democratic judges who will serve Il
the general election were selected a
Judges for the primary.
After the two candidates for mayo
had paid their pro- rata part OF the eS
penses of the primary the meeting ac
iourned.

End of the Fishing Season.

Fishtown was practically deserted this
morning. There we're no receipts, nc
persons on the wharves and, apart from
a few people in the packing houses, the
locality was lifeless. Nearly all the
GENERATORS at the lower shores have "cut
out" There are still plenty of herring
in the river, as is evidenced by the re-
sults of the "drifts" of small nets, anc
the gillers are catching few shad.

ing asks Maggie to sing.
She runs upstairs for her music, and
sits down to the piano and sings to them
ms she had done to poor George that
night before the capture-as she had
sung to them in that room in Brighton,
before Ernest had h~alf-broken his heart
and ruined his future life. And here was
the strangest thing of all, with precisely
the same effect.
The old man listens, and goes back to
his young life, when a pale, pretty girl
had consented to become his bride; when
he had beer young, and joyous and buoy
ant; when he had sprung from the ter
race that summer morn, soaring the
naughty peacock, spreading his tail out
in the sun, and bursting out into a
fit Of joyous laughter, in pure happiness
Of heart-only to meet the sad face of
his future father-in-law, whispering to
him that Isabel had been found dead in
her bed that very morning, and that, in
stead OF wedding bells, there must be a
funeral toll.
Maggie is binding about them all the
spell that shall only be Embossed when
suffering and bitter pain shall have been
endured, and the shadow Of death has
lowered over the old house, striking one
at least with terrible darkness.
Thus Maggie begins her new career in
