Democratic PoUtioiang E rustrated iiiT lieir Efl’orts to Drag Politics Into School Matters—Some Other Reasons for the Change—One Conrageons W om an Casts A surprisingly large vote was cast at the school election yesterday and the re sult completely dumbfounded the “ prog nosticator” who can always tell “ just how it is going.” While the vote ranges from two to three hundred usually, yester day it ran up to 505. This number being polled within four hours made it quite lively around the polls. There was not much buttonholing for votes, as nearly all came with, ballots prepared and there was an evident determination to vote with out interference or dictation. The result may be ascribed to several reasons, the principal one of which was the unwillingness of our people to allow our schools to be run in tbe interest of any political party. Some of our Demo cratic leaders had very kindly prepared a ticket, solidly Democratic, not a single Re publican being upon it and they expected the people to ratify it, for even if they had been inclined to vote for a partisan ticket, there was no reason to vote for one in which they had no voice in making. But the good sense of our people has upon many occasions declared against the mix ing up of politics in our school affairs and they concluded that an overwhelming de feat for the “ straight-out ” ticket would serve as a warning ? gainst political inter ference in the future. There were other reasons for the result, and dissatisfaction with the poor work done on the Main street building had its in fluence on the result. Just how far the outgoing members of the Board were re- ponsible we do not know, but the impres sion got abroad that a change would be beneficial and it was a whirlwind. One lady, a former teacher, availed herself of the voting privilege as she has done on previous occasions. The vote on clerk was a large majority for Mr. R. Ed. Schofield over Mr. Geo. A. Elston, who has made a most efficient clerk, being unusually prompt in the dis charge of his duties and so far as his re lations to the press is concerned always courteous and obliging. But it was Mr. Elston’s misfortune to be on the wrong ticket. The vote in full was as follows : FOB TEUSTEEES. Moses Depuy ....................................... 5S4 Lewis E.

Notwithstanding the cool, uncircus-like weather of the past three days, the Irwin Bros, show has been doing a good busi ness. This is not strange, for it is the best circus ever seen here at a 10 and 20 cents admission. There is hardly one act done under the big tent that would not be fit for a high priced show. Among the leading performers are James Irving, a wonderful head balancer; Marx and Smith, in heavy weight lifting and wrest ling on horseback—the latter a taking novelty ; Prince Keklaw, one of the best of contortionists ; Malville and Downie, in a thrilling aerial act ; George Nash, a bicycle rider of remarkable skill; the Zoyaras, double trapeze performers ; Dot Pullman, in tunning globe evolutions ; Prof. Shedmau’B amusing dog and monkey performers—a small show in themselves. Besides, there is a globe, barrel and cross pedal juggler, a wire walker, a lady jug gler, horizontal bar performers, and a large troupe of tumblers. Several of the latter turn off double somersaults without any ado. The show is well worth seeing, and with anything like fair weather crowded houses may be looked for the rest of this ■week.—Buffalo Courier, May 3d, ____ CROSING HOR AT SRAKROWBUSH.

A gang of outlaws have been making frequent raids in Sullivan county recently. Monday night they stole a horse and wagon from Elmer Winner of Liberty. Mr. Winner was absent from home at the time, but his neighbors started in pursuit of the horse thieves Tuesday morning. The pursuers found the horse at Cochec- ton tied under a shed, and returned home VTith the property without seeing the thieves. When Mr, Winner returned home he was pleased to learn that his neighbors had saved him the lost of a horse and wagon. Clark’s store at South Pallsburg, was broken into Sunday night, and a lot of pocket knives, ready made clothing and boots and shoes were taken. Acklam’s store at Bethel, was also broken open, but the burglarawere fright ened away by someone passing, after they had their booty packed, but they did not get away with it. There is no doubt but this was all done by the same gang, probably the same parties that have been operating in Wayne Co., Pa., lately. DEATH AT CUDDEBACKVILLE. Albert Norris Succumbs to a W asting Consumption. Albert Norris of Cuddebackville died yesterday at his home in that village of consumption after a long and lingering illness. The deceased was 37 years cf age, and a sou-in-law of Peter Swartwout. He is survived by his wife and one child, aged about five years.

Gen. Ward. The annual picnic and reunion of the 1246b Regiment of Volunteers, more fa miliarly known as Orange Blossoms, was held at a beautiful grove on the west side of Newburg yesterday. The citizens of Newburg much to their credit bore the whole expense of the entertainment. The committee of ladies, who had charge of the tables, had been making preparations for several days, and when the old soldiers went into the tent about 1 o’clock y^ter- day they beheld one of the finest tables ever spread at a reunion. There was no dancing, nor was there any whiskey or huckstering of any kind. The veterans went for a good, quiet, social gathering and they had it, and enjoyed it hugely. The veterans were there from all directions to attend the picnic ; and, be sides them, were many friends from the country, and hundreds from city homes, Ellis and Fullerton Posts of Newburg, joined the Orange Blossoms in the after noon, forming at 1.30 o’clock and march ing out together with their drum corps. They were warmly welcomed at the grove. The veterans from this village say that they have been in the habit of attending the reunion every year, and the one held yes terday, surpassed all others, After the usual greetings were over with, a speech was made by Brig. Gen. Ward, which was eagerly listened to by the members of the regiment. One of the features was a dress parade, by the surviving members of the regiment, about eighty members being in line. Seventeen persons from this vil lage attended the reunion, among whom were Horace Hammond, J. P. Adams, P loyd Goble and W illiam B o y st all m em bers of the 134th. The Port Jervis delegation returned home on the Orange County Express, last evening and they are very much pleased by the manner in which they were enter tained by the Newburg people in general. BURGLARY AT'sUSQUEHANNA. A Colored Stranger Enters a H ouse and Loads Up w ith J ewelry. Wednesday evening as one of Mrs. Hall’s family, who live on Main street in Susque hanna, was putting some of the children to bed in the upper story of the house, she was accosted by a gruff voice that came from a big heap oi colored humanity, crouched down on the floor, evidently rummaging the pockets of a pair of unex- pressablcB that had been taken from their place in the closet. The girl gave an alarm, but before any one could get to the place the pilferer had made his escape through a window in the rear of the house, the second story of the front of the house being even with the ground at the rear, affording easy es- He was followed up Washington street, however, and overtaken. When ap proached by the officers, he cried, “ I am not guilty.” This assured the officers that he was their man. and on searching him they found Mr. Hall’s gold watch, valued at $80, a solid gold chain belonging to Mrs. Hall and other valuable jewelry. The burglar is a bisr, muscular colored man, and wears a cork leg. He arrived at Susquehanna about 8 o’clock, and must have gone directly to work as it was scarcely 3 when discovered in the house. He evidently didn’t lose any time in his business. All members of Orange Chapter, No. 33, O. E.

Two W omen Engage in a Frize Fight at Chicago Tuesday. Mary Ann McNamara and Julia Perry indulged in a prize fight according to Mar quis of Queensberry rules Tuesday even ing at Chicago. When the ring had been prepared, brothers of the women aeted as seconds and a timekeeper and referee were selected. Time was called for the first round and the pugilists began sparring for an open ing. Vicious blows were interchanged, and when time was called both were badly disfigured, but there was no advantage on either side. The crovfd of spectators cheered lustily and bets were freely made on the result. Time for the second round was called and the women advanced with their sleeves rolled up and with blood in their eyes. A few passes were made and the code was then thrown aside and both women began a rough-and-tumble fight, in which scratching and hair pulling pre dominated. The Perry woman was knocked down and dragged around by the hair and was unable to respond at the next call of time. She and her brother could not take the defeat gracefully, however, and called upon the police. As a result the four were arrested. NO FOLITIC.8 FOR OUR .SCHOOLS. Democrats M u st Keep Politics Out of School m atters. To the Editor o f the Daily U n ion: The result of the election yesterday for members of the Board of Education is one which cannot fail to gratify all who have the best interests of our schools at heart, and this for two reasons. In the first place the men chosen for the place are fitted for it and will worthily and faith fully discharge the duties of their office. In the second place it is an emphatic re buke to an effort made to introduce poli tics into school matters. Certain Democrats for purposes best known to themselves, had nominated a Democratic ticket, openly proclaimed as such and strong efforts were made to elect it as a party ticket. There were scores of Democrats, however, who did not take this view of things and who weie not prepared to swallow the dose made ready for them. They said, “ No, gentlemen politicians, hands off from our schools. It IS quite enough for politics to rule vil lage and town matters. Keep our schools free from their polluting touch.” The result was a Waterloo defeat to those making the attempt. It is hoped that a like effort, either by Democrats or Republicans, will never be made, or if made will meet with like discomfiture. Let the watchword with every citizen of whatever political faithi be no politics for our schools. phi PERSONAL. I iMr. Eli Depew of Binghamton is visit-; iug friends in Port Jervis. W.

NEWMAN TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE JERSEY CITY STATION, A Good Appointment—Tlie Erie Squeezing Out Tim e Buyers — E m p loyes Must Meet Xlieir Obligations—Many Excur sion Matters and Other Railroad Item s. Mr. Charles A. Newman, the well known Erie station agent at Callicoon, has been tendered, and has also accepted, the position of ticket and passenger agent at Jersey City. Mr. Newman has long been regarded as one of the Erie’s most efficient agents, and he is sure to meet with brilliant success in his new duties. He is also in good standing with the offi cials of the road, being on intimate per sonal relations with former general pas senger agent, John N. Abbott, and chief auditor B. 0. Campbell. TTNOnE ABB WAND1.B. Everybody who knows anything about the Erie is acquainted with “ Uncle Abe ” Wandle, who is now running the through milk train from Port Jeruis, Abe began as conductor away back in 1845 and then quit to embark In business in 1849, In 1852 he re-enlisted and entered the bridge department, and having injured one of his hands quit again until 1855, when he began over as conductor. In 1873 he was made train dispatcher, but finally drifted back to ticket punching in 1876, and ran the Ulster County Express until 1883, when he was again appointed dispatcher at Jersey City. He didn’t like the con finement much, so sough a “ run \ on the road, and was given the milk train in 1886 and still holds it. The one great feature about Abe is, he never losses his temper, and the boys all think he will depart this life with a smile on his face. aniST PAX THEIE DEBTS. The Erie officials are again going tor those of their employes who are in the habit of assigning thelv wages to m o n ey lenders, which causes the company a great deal of trouble on account o f the latter constantly placing attachments on the former’s wages when they suspect they are going to be defrauded. The company has issued an order to the effect that any employe who is found to have assigned his wages, or who neglects to meet his just obligations to his creditors to such an extent that they shall place an attachment on his salary, will be discharged from the service. There are a number of sharks who make a rich living by loaning money to the railroad men, and the unlawful charge of 5 per cent, per month is made by some of them because they know the men’s needs and take advantage of it. The Erie road has worked incessantly to break up these usurers, but their business seems to thrive despite all the efforts of the company to oust them, A HANDSOMB OAK. The director’s car of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company’s railroad passed through this village on train 4 this morn ing.

The Erie sold twenty-seven tickets to parties in Middletown, who attended the Orange Blossom’s re-union at Newburgh, yesterday. The Newark Call says : “ The Sunday train on tbe Brie that stops in this city on its way fiom New York to Paterson has been overcrowded ever since the opening of the summer season. On last Sunday the cars were so crowded that passengers were compelled to stand on the car plat forms. There is a remedy for such evils as these and tbe Erie ought to know i t ; that is, either to put on more cars or more trains. There may be an accident on one of these overcrowded trains some time.” The Brie has put in a new switch at Montgomery for the accommodation of the camp meeting people. To-day has been another busy day for the Erie’s excursion business. It has car ried the members of the African M. E. church, from Orange to Jersey City, members of the Young People’s Guild from Paterson to Jersey City, members of the Dutch Reformed church from Port Jervis to Lackawaxen, a large party from Friendship to Portage to celebrate “ Soldiers’ Day,” and the members ot Stephens Post G. A. R., from Paterson to Clifton. To-day has been one of the busiest days this season, at the Erie passenger depot at this village. Every train going from, and arriving at the depot, has been crowded and a large number of people get on and off each train. Local passenger traffic es pecially is very heavy. The Southern Tier express train, No. 10, was three hours late to-day. The de lay was caused by a wreck somewhere on the Susquehanna division. Novelties in hair ornaments at G.

ENGLISHMEN’S CONCERN A VOTE FOR CLEVELAND A VOTE FOR ENGLAND. English Editors Anxious for Cleveland’s Election—Their Sliops Ready to -Sup ply American Marhets—They Are After Irish American Votes. Prom the Irish ’World. The editor of an English newspaper, the published in Sheffield, England, who is on a visit to the United States, was interviewed in New York the Other day in regard to the effect the adoption of the Mills bill would have on English trade. It is hardly necessary to say that this Eng lish editor heartily approves of the efforts our pro-British Administration is making to break down the barriers that protection has erected against the free ingress of Brit ish cheap-made goods. “ If America,” he said, “ goes in for free trade Sheffield will flourish. We shall do a roaring trade, in our opinion, and that is the opinion gener ally of the country [England]. I am in a position to speak of the steel trade because Sheffield is the great iron-working centre.’ The editor of the Sheffield Telegraph was very anxious to learn what chances there were of Oleveland’s election. Like the rest of his countrymen he has come to look upon the candidate of the free trad ers as the English candidate, whose suc cess would mean for England a vast in crease in the sale of her manufactured articles. Take, for instance, the case of Sheffield, in which there are big iron and steel works that formerly did an immense business in supplying the American mar ket with steel rails, ingots, and tires. A great deal of the plant that was employed in manufacturing steel rails, etc,, in this English town for American consumption is now idle, and long rows of cottages that were once employed in these iron and steel mills are now uninhabited and are fast falling into ruin. The inhabitants of Sheffield confidently expect that if Cleveland be re-elected the iron and steel works will be again in full blast. And so in every part of England where there are mills and factories they are hoping for the success of the candidate whose policy if carried out would confer so many benefits on England at the ex pense of the United States. We are in reality fighting the old fight with England under a different form. She does not to-day try to impede the indus trial progress of America hy the employ ment of brute force, as she did over a hundred years ago. This time she seeks to carry out her policy of ruining Ameri can industries by underhand means. She finds in the pro-British faction and their Mugwump allies agents as ready and as willing to do her work in this country as the Tories were in 1776. By their aid she hopes to force upon us the pro-British policy of free trade. These denationalized Americans are now doing their best to secure the election Of Cleveland. But as they are not nu merous enough to elect their candidate they will have to rely on Irish American voters to help them destroy the industries of America in the interest of England. They and their organs do not tell Irish Americans the real character of the work they are invited to engage in ., It requires however, very little thought to see what those Anglo-maniacs are driving at, and w© shall be greatly mistaken if the quick ness of perception that men of the Irish race are credited with does not enable Irish Americans to see through the pro- British conspiracy that has been hatched Dy Cleveland and Ms fellow free traders. Once they come to realize the character of that conspiracy party discipline will be powerless to make them use their ballots against America and for England. THE REFORMED CHURCH FICNIC. The members of the Reformed Church Sabbath school, and their friends, num bering about 500, left this morning on a special train for a day’s recreation at Cap’t. Buck’s Grove Lackawaxen. To avoid the danger of loading at the passen ger depot, the start was made from the old freight depot at the foot of Fowler street. The train consisted of seven day coaches and a baggage car.
