REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN CUM
BERLAND.
Race Issue Raised Against a Negro
Candidate.

Republican primaries were held in Cumber-
land, Md, last Monday night, to nominate
candidates for the City Council. In Ward
No. Dr. Theodore A. X. hummelshine, and
William Cooper, colored, were opposing can
didates. The Cumberland Times has the fol-
lowing concerning the contest:
"Whilst there was a little life about the
polls in No. / and No. 3, the excitement OF
the day centered in Ward 4, where William
Cooper, the first colored man that ever Sc
riously aspired to be a councilman IN Cum
berland made the warmest kind of contest,
although he was out voted two to one. Coop
er's aspirations had been announced for
months as had also the candidacy of DR..
hummelshine,, who was in the city council on
a former occasion.
1T was not until after the polls opened last
night, however, that the possibilities of the
colored man and brother occupying place
on the party ticket and perchance seat in
the city council, seemed to be fully realized.
1t was an omen of trouble. The ward man
ayers were amazed. 1t would not do to say
much because the colored men will be needed
at the general election. The polls were not
long open, however, when numerous dark
complexioned faces lined up near the window
and the right of white Republicans TO cast a
ballot was being challenged. This made the
situation desperate and IT mus be met. The
ward leaders who had been members of all
sorts of factions in the past came together and
decided the time for play and further tolera-
ton had passed.
Messengers were sent TO the thoroughfares
and the alleys, the counting rooms and the
reception halls to gather in votes and they
came regardless of district lines and previous
standing in the party.
Talk about the race issue being raised by
Democrats-no man ever saw the color line
o distinctly drawn in a political contest IN
this community as it was last night Men who
rarely 90 TO primary election, hurried to the
polls last evening in response to no other I'm
pulse except 10 emphasize the notion that
this is white mans government, and so
far as official public responsibility is concerned
the Republican organization here IS TO con
tinue to be white mans party. One died in
the wool Republican who held within him
much pent up disgust, declared not only would
the hummelshine, ticket win last night, but
If the proposed State Constitutional amend
ments were put to a vote in this crowd to-
night they would be carried even though II Is
a Republican primary.
There was much complaint on both sides
Of the contest about persons who were not
Republicans aud who we're nonresidents OF the
State being permitted 10 vote. Ii would be
difficult to decide who had the advantage in
this regard. Some of the white men declared
negroes were not only coming from Walnut
alley and Shantytown but from Virginia and
North Carolina aud one declared some of the
faces that appeared at the window were pecu-
liar to far off Louisiana. The colOred men on
their part declared that Wsbashers, farmers
and even hucksIers from Buck Nsliey, Pa.
were being run in on the other side.

NEW YORK. April 24.-Fifiy one nurses at

entations was made by Acting Consul General

honored today. threw themselves into the
water and rescued many persons who other

wives and a COW in a Trade

A dispatch from Huntington, West Virginia,
says Big Ugly, s small town in the southern
section Of this State. Is wrought up by disclos-
ures concerning the treatment OF Ms. James
Gibson By her husband.
According 10 the story she told Magistrate
GeOtfrey she has been for some time regarded
by her husband as on 4 par with his other
worldly possessions. Mrs. Gibson said that
on a recent visit made BY her husband TO the
place Of William G. Smith be saw n COW
which he coveted. Gibson negotiated with
Smith whereby the COW was TO be traded for
Mrs Gibson. According to the woman s
story. when the deal was consunAted. Mrs.
Smith Was thrown into the bargain, aud Gas
transferred with the COW to Gibson al the tune
that she Mrs. Gibson) was delivered into the
hands of her new owner, Smith.
The woman asserts iha; this transaction wSs
the third in which she figured As eommodi-
~. he irsi time she was traded for lot OF
fac game chickens. The second time she
was traded. says Mrs. Gibson. her husband
got horse and an acre Of ground.
The woman told the Magistrate that she
was compelled to submit TO the bargains made
by her husband for fear Of her life. She was
bound and gagged and thrown into cellar foI
days at a time. with nothing TO eat, and was
subjected to innumerable hardships aud IN
dignities.
Efforts are being made to find Gibson and
Smith, both Of whom have disappeared.

odd Easter Celebrations.

SHANoKIN, Pa, April 24.-Easter Monday
was celebrated here by a suspension of work
at most of the collieries, foreign miners hold
ing dancing festivities and banquets. In Coal
township, adjoining this place, the Polish
element observed ''switchings." Men, armed
with small branches of trees, chased women
over hills and through valleys, and after over.
taking them, struck the fugitives on the back
with the switches, in eommemoration of the
punishment Christ received during the Cruel
fxion. After the women were punished they
attended dances and feasts in various parts Of
the township. The women tomorrow will
chase the men and throw water on them. The
men retaliate by kissing them, and in many
instances girls are asked by young men to be-
come their wives.
