THE LUMBER DEALERS
Make Public Some of Their Grievances
Against Railroads.


Philadelphia. March 3.-The Ma
tional Wholesale Lumber Dealers As
ISOLATION at the concluding session of
it's convention here today adopted res
olution urging upon Congress and the
state legislature the necessity of mod
Grafton and conservatism inAthe regu-
lation of railroads and that only such
requirements be imposed as will not
imperial earnings, reduction of wages,
or neglect of future needs.
The report of the railroad and trans
portation committee, which was also
received, severely criticized the rail-
roads for their refusal to properly
stake their cars for the reception of
lumber. They also reported that it is
Exceedingly difficult to collect even
absolutely just claims for over
weights and over charges, because the
railroads have been loath to pay back
anything they collected"

Mayor and Aldermen Will
Meet Friday Evening
To Decide Whether or Not to
Hold a Special Election
TO Settle: Tie Existing Between
Messrs. Andrews and Cults.

special meeting of the mayor and
hoard of aldermen will be held in the
city government rooms Friday even
ing. for the purpose of deciding whether
mr. not d special election will be held
70, city marshal and ii SO to set the
date Of the election.
This was the announcement which
was made Wednesday by Mayor Will
G. Atkins, following the developments
of the inspection of ballots held the
previous evening.
The city charter has been examined,
ard it has been found that this in
srrl1ment is very definite in regard to
this very point, that the reports of the
ward clerks from each ward shall con :
stitute the returns upon which the
,ounicipal officers shall declare candi =.
dates elected or not elected. In the
rrescnt instance, at the meeting of the
MAYOR and aldermen Monday evening,
all the officers We're declared elected
except the city marshal. AS the face
of the returns gave Il tie Of 566 for
each candidate, neither the municipal
officers nor the candidates can so be
yond this return. If any irregularitv
is found action must follow the Order
# Of the mayor and aldermen in the
shape OF IL writ of mandamus to pre-
vent the carrying into effect Of the
order of the municipal officers. In any
ease there is said to be but one course
oren to the municipal officers, that of
declaring the vote for city marshal q
lie on the face of the returns and Or
3cring new election. 1t is probable
that the municipal officers will take
this action al the meeting Friday even
ing, as it is the opinion of City So
licitor {. y. Knight that this is the
only method to be pursued.
With regard to the ballots in Ward
G. it is the opinion of good legal au
thority that no court would disfrlr-
chise the voters OF Ward who re-
ceved their ballots from the ward of
ticers in good faith.
A court might censure the ward Off
cors for allowing ballots to be altered,
but it is not thought that any legal
tribunal would allow the action to af-
feet the result of the election.
Of course, the supposed alteration OF
the ballots in Ward 6 is a matter OF
inference Nobody has come forward
with any positive evidence on the sub
jet and nobody is likely to, except
at the command of a court. Besides,
Cn the face Of the returns the nlu-
ncipal officers have declared the al
herman. councilmcn and ward officers
of Ward 6 duly elected, and they Will
take their seats with the other mem
hers OF the city communicated, and
UJlu Tho II oil Nv In- VT
II tn. illcSality Of their election is es-
tallished.
MIR. Cults and Mr.. andrews have
each retained legal advice and Will
llgEt the matter out to the finish.
