ELECTIONS
COME OFF
There Was a Light Vote and Only
a Break or Two*
THE REPUBLICANS WIN
Two Democrats However Slide In
In lbe First Ward — t'onncllman
Rowe, Republican, Defeated by J.
B. Wallace, Democrat—Harry Rnni-
ley Lands as Judge— Fierce Fight
on Smith ror School Director In
tne Secoud ward Raft it Aborts.
The Spring elections Tuesday aroused
but little enthusiasm. The vote in town
was the lighest in many years. Tt was a
hundred short in the Third, 150 short io
the First and 100 short in the Second
ward.
There were only a couple spirited contests on board and these were more largely
due to the opposition than to the efforts
of the parties against whom it was directed. In the Second ward an onslaught
was made oa George W. Smith, Republican candidate for re election as school
director. The fight was a personal one
entirely and the result of malice. Whist
his vote was cut thirty odd, Smith landed
by the safe majority of 32 oyer Miller,
democrat. Stoler's vote was also ten
helow the ticket, the opposition arising
ftom the enforcement of the compulsory
school law by the present board.
In the First Ward, where the storm
center'was and where the fight was
chiefly against A. H. Rowe's reehction
to council, the Democrats landed. Rowe
was defeated by three votes by John
Wallace. Barry Rumley also punctured
the Republican tire and landed for Judge
over Moore by 5 votes.
S. Q. Miller and John Wolf-ill kept up
a smart fire all along the line for Justice
of the Peace, the- former standing for reelection. Miller landed with 171 votes to
the good, although Wolfkill drew blood
ia the First ward, which he carried by
three votes.
The town yote shows a Republican
majority of 219 on the basis ot the Auditor
vote.
The night work and late day hours in
in shops probably accounted for the big
all off in the vote.
There was a mighty sight of scratching
by those who did exercise the franchise.
In the First ward, to instance, there were
95 scratched tickets in a total of 333 votes.
The Australian ballot seems to be still
an enigma to some. In one ward, the
First, there were several ballots where
only one man was voted for.
The township vote is heavier, the farmers having plenty of time to attend to
matters of State. The Republicans show
a majority of 122 on the basis of auditor
vote.
Two important breaks in the line are
made by the opposition : John W. Brown
is defeated for school director by John A.
Johnston, and George W. Ambrose lands
with a majority of 7 over Vincent Rouzer
tor supervisor.
With these exceptions the Republican
ticket is elected.

Philadelphia. •
The municipal election in Philadelphia
resulted in a victory for the Republican
candidate for receiver ot taxes, William
J. Roney.   His majority is conservatively
estimated at 80,000 oyer the voted polled
by William H. Rhawn, a candidate of the
Citizens' and municipal League parties.
In addition to the election of Mr. Roney,
the Republican candidate for magistrate
David T. Hart was elected, as was James
E. Gorman, Democrat.    Under the law,
the minority is entitled to one magistrate
and but one candidate was nominated by
each party.   In  addition to the general
offices, elections were held in the various
wards for councilmen,  school directors
and election officers.
Tbo Maine.
The Maine disaster has bowled the elections out as a star attraction. Nothing is
heard today but the blowing np of our
great war ship in Havana harbor. Men
are up in arms and ready any minute to
lay down (he hammer, the yardstick, the
pen and the cider pitcher to "jine and
fight for Uncle Sam." A West Main mer"
chant is wading in Spanish blood up to
his eyes—in his mind.
Should it turn oat that Spain blew up
oar dandy ship there woutd be 1000 men
here with guns on their shoulders hea•!-
ing for Cuba.
New Telephone.
A telephone company has been organ -
ized by the citizens of Path Valley, this
county, who will ran a line from Rich
mond, Franklin County, to Blairs Mills,
Juniata Connty, a distance of twenty-two
miles.
THE MAINE!
BLOWN UP.
One of Our Finest Ships Destroyed1

MANY     MEN    KILLED.
Tbe Whole Oity Was Shaken—several
of tbe Wounded Sailors Wbo Were
Interviewed Said tbe explosion
Took Place While Tbey Were
Asleep and They Could Give Mo
Particulars — The Crash Came
About Ten O'clock.
Havana, Feb. 15.—At a quarter of 10
o'clock this evening a terrible explosion
took place on board the United States
battleship Maine, in Havana harbor.
Many persons were killed or wounded
All the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII are assisting.
As yet the cause of the explosion is not
apparent. The wounded sailors of the
Maine are unable to explain it.
It is believed that the battleship is totally destroyed.
The explosion shook the whole city.
The windows were broken in all the
houses.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press says he has conversed with several
of the wounded sailors and understood
from them that the explosion took place
while they were asleep, so that they can
give no particulars as to the cause. ^
The Maine was ordered to Hayana January 24 and arrived there the next day.
The United States navy had not been represented there for three years. The sending of the Maine to Havana at first aroused much alarm, but it was explained that
the movement was simply a resumption
of former friendly relations, and quiet waa
soon restored. The officers of the Maine
were received at Hayana with every courtesy- w&S

Captain Siasbee
The commander of the Maine, Captain
Sigshee, is a favorite in the Navy Department. For four years he was chief of
the hydrographic office and by hia energy
brought the office op to a high standard.
He was lucky to get so important a ship
as the Maine, considering his actual rank,
which is that of a commander, but immediately he justified the department's
judgement in the selection by running
his ship straight into a dock in New Tork
harber to avoid running down a packed
excursion boat. This was a display of
quick iadgement, nerve and pluck that
pleased the department so highly that the
the Captain was sent a complimentary
letter. _.
On board the vessel was Walter Sellers
a young man from Chambersburg who
was the ships apothecary.

In a Social Manner. *

The Men and Beets.
A meeting of the farmers of Franklin
county has been called for Feb. 19 to discuss the advisability of growing sugar
beets. The project contemplates that
each farmer interested put out an acre.
A ehemist will then be sent from Washington to determine whether the soil is
adapted for such a product. If it is, a
factory with a capacity of 400 tons a day
will be erected. It is said that if the
scheme goes through it will bring $300,-
000 additional into the county. That it
will likely do so is evidenced by the fact
that a farmer last year planted an acre
which yielded him seventeen tons, or an
income of $68, four times as much as can
be procured from growing wheat.
Tbe Men and tbe Road.
The suryeyors have completed work on
the proposed Washington and Franklin

The work of construction will be begun
as soon as the weather will permit.
