Special Election.

Pursuant to notice, an election was
| held in the Town Hall of the town oil
Dodgeville on Tuesday last, for the pur-
pose of deciding on the issue of the sum
of $40, 600 bonds in aid of the extension OF
the Mineral Point railroad to this place.
Quite an exciting time was had during
the former part of the day, few voters
from the outskirts of the town being
against the issue of the bonds, and de-
termined if possible to defeat it, In the
afternoon, but few votes were polled
against the bonds, and the opposition soon
became disheartened and withdrew. The
result of the canvass showed the whole
number of votes cast, $40
For Bonds, 432
Against Bonds, 116
Majority for Bonds, 316
There being no opposition on commits
sioners, the following persons were elected:
Robert Wilson, John H. Cornish, Lars
Moe and VIM. Hendy.
The result is highly satisfactory to the
people of the town and particularly of the
village, only one of whom opposes the is
sue of the bonds
AS soon as the necessary arrangements
can be completed, men will be set to work
to grade and tie the road. Quite large
percentage Of the bonds will be taken up
in this village, as we are informed that
thousand of dollars are waiting the prepa-
ration of the bonds.
