The CITY ELECTION.
Here are The Results, But no Figures
Are 0btainable.

The city election Tuesday pass
Ell off very quietly, especially in
the lst and 4th wards, while the
2nd and 3rd, where a scrap was
on, became quite interesting. As
in none of the wards except the
third, was there a memorandum
made of the votes cast, we cannot
give the correct returns.
In the lst, ward the Republican
candidates, Honnen for the council
and Newcombe and Sans for the
cshool board we're elected, receiy-
ing about Al votes to the socialist
candidates 10 or 12.
In the second ward DR.. Morri-
son for the school board, Smith
for the council, and Moses for the
council to fill the vacancy, these
men being the regular Republican
nominees, were elected over the
independent candidates by about
20. The socialists received s
votes, the total vote being about
$50.
In the third ward was probably
the hardest fight. Luse independ-
ent for school board defeated Lin
das, Republican by 80 votes, and
Miller, independent for council
defeated Clayton, Republican by
IA. Lutchg tor school board,
and McGill for the council on the
Socialist ticket received 80 and 3S
votes respectively. Total vote
about 100.
In the 4th, ward Newcombe and
Rubart, Republican, were elected,
receiving about 4S votes to the
socialist ticket IL.
In the annexed territory there
were only 6 votes cast, they being
for S. H. Gwinn. This must have
been rather a lonesome election,
no one voting except the election
board and one other citizen.
The council meet Friday night
as board of canvassers when the
exact vote can be obtained.

crowd had a good time and plenty
of oysters too.

Mining MUSS
LOOKS BETTER.
Miners Willing to Make Some Con.
CeSSlOnS to Operators.
MAY Soon end STRIKE.

New York, April 4.-The
anthracite miners scale committee
is holding an important meeting
today. 1t is understood the COM
mittee will eliminate or change
certain of the demands which the
operators have already refused to
agree to, so that the operators
may yield without stultifying
themselves.
The American Sheet Steel Com
pany, a member of the steel trust,
has asked a conference with the
miners, with view to re-opening
its mines in West Virginia.
The reports that operators are
signing for the 1903 scale in other
district is having much to do in
putting brighter face on the out
look.
Pittsburg, Pa, April 4.-The
Pittsburg Coal Company, which
signed the new scale, advised the
miners in the district convention
today that it would be unable to
resume operation. because the men
IN twenty-one mines failed to show
up. The convention was asked to
appoint committee to induce the
miners to resume work.

more Miners
ARE RESCUED.
Ten More Men Taken From The
French Nine Alive.
ENTOABED over 3 Weeks.

Lens, France, April 4th.-Ten
more of the miners who we're en-
tombed in the Courriers mines
since the catastrophe of March 10
They, were taken out alive by the
rescuers today from pit No. 4.
The rescue of these meh is con-
Sidered more miraculous even than
the saving of the thirteen on
March 30th; not only because the
men were entombcd. longer, but
because they we're in section of
the mine where there was the
worst danger.
These men were terribly
emaciated, and whether or not
their lives will be saved is doubt
full. Their rescue is attributed
to the demands of the women,
who forced the resumption Of
rsecue work. :
1t is said the sound of knocking
was heard from the unexplored
portions of the mine, where it
was never thought possible men
could be found alive. An addi-
tional rescue force was hurried
to the work, with the above result.
