RETURNS OF
THE ELECTION
CANVASSEO
Will Of rne People Prevails
After a Delay of Nearly
a Week.
HUBBARD is ROUTED
Results Vary But Little
from Those Previously
Announced.


The VIII of the people prevailed at
the meeting OF the Republican coun-
ty executive committee here Friday,
when the committee canvassed and
declared the returns of the recent pri-
madyy election. The canvass resulted
as follows:
For United States senator-Nathan
B. Scott, 1747 and w. p. Hubbard
1912.
=! For congress-charles Il. carrigan.
1852. Howard n. Ogden 1881. and
A. Moore 4s3.
For state senator-B. S. stathers,
Isle and Linn Brannoh 1900.
! Tor House of Dclegates-L c. Grille
Liza, Z. w. Cunningham 2,769 and
N Il. Terrell 1893. Two are nomi-
mated.
For county commissioner. long term
William G, Osborne 1891 and A.
NJ. Hess 1850.
For superintendent of schools-Ira
L. swiger 2,S79 and r.. NJ. Fisher SIS.
The so-called Observation-Disclosures
side got twelve of the twenty members
of the new committee.
When members of the committee on
the Harmer-Law side arrived from the
country number of them were not
acquainted with the reported plan to
throw out some of the city precincts.
When the plan was laid before them.
many of the members declared openly
that the returns must be canvassed
and the results declared as reported
by the election commissioners and
they refused to throw out any OF the
precincts. Others refused to attend
the caucus, which was in session in
the office until 1890 o'clock. the
hour for the opening of the commit
tee meeting
A large crowd of voters representing
all stations of life had gathered from
the First and Second wards and other
iplaces, where 1t was planned to throw
out precinct votes so as to change
the results on the ground that there
had been Irregularities. This crowd
was not only deeply interested but
gravely anxious lest the will OF the
people would not be allowed 10 pre-
vail.
II developed that the Hammer, Law
and Williams were unable to control
the committee. and as soon as the
committee was called together the
regular plan Of canvass was followed.
All the members OF the old commit
tee were in the city except C. NJ.
Cunningham and A. NJ. Sturm, al
though several of the Harmcr-Law
side were not in attendance, when the
meeting opened. Some OF them drop
ped in after the canvass had been
started.
The meeting was presided over by
County Chairman Homer w. Williams
and W. NJ. Conway was there as sec
rotary.
A communication from Harvey w.
Harmer handed to the secretary by
himself was read stating that Mr..
Hubbard had decided not TO contest
the election. and then the ballot boxes
were brought from the jail to the
county court room, where the cam
vass was held.
Few changes were made in the can
vass being only the usual slight err
rors in reporting the vote At the
court house Grille gained ten votes
over Terrell and at Gypsy Fisher
should have been counted , instead
of 10.
There were several other slight but
not material changes due to clerical
and telephone errors.

GOOD SHOWING BY
B. s. O. RAILROAD
Various Departments Are
Busily Engaged in Pre-
pairing Reports.

With the termination of the railroad
fiscal year on the last day OF June, the
various departments of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad are busily engaged
in compiling their reports to submit to
President Willard for use in the an
nual report, showing the traffic in
crCases aud improvements to the phys
zeal condition Of the road.
The earnings of the Baltimore ana
OhIo system during the year just clos
ing make most satisfactory showing
and in the statement issued several
days ago for the month of May and
the eleven months OF the fiscal year,
the earnings were $79,143,355, an in
crease Of $lO,923,sS5 over last year.
These are the largest earnings re-
ported by the road since the business
depression in 1907, Should this ratio
Of increase he maintained during the
mouth Of June, and there is every
reason 10 believe hat 1t Will be, gross
earnings will exceed $S6.0OO,C0O for
the year, which will be within $4,000
900 Of the banner year of 1907.
Shortly after he assumed the man
agement of the Baltimore and Ohio
last January, President Willard was
visited at headquarters in Baltimore
by delegation of West Virginia bus
mess men, and at that time the new
president outlined number OF Inn
portant improvements, including Sec
ond and third track construction, Wild
enng OF tunnels, etc, which will en-
able the road to care for the business
offered. These Improvements were not
alone confined to West Virginia but
are under way at various points on
the system. In his interview with the
West Virginia delegation President
Willard stated that he fully expected
that the earnings of the Baltimore and
Ohio for the fiscal year 1901 would
reach $1O0,OOO,000. This, he said,
could only be accomplished through
rushing the improvements to complies
ton at the earliest date and by pur-
chasing additional equipment to meet
