suits: Genltemen-Grant 81, Greeley Is,
undecided IL; ladios-Grant 49, Greeley
IA, undecided Is. These are about a fair
average of the votes for tho last few days;

decide the question, Grants reelection
would seem TO be sure.'

made her first appearance at Fsks Grand Opera House
last Monday evening" when she created the greatest
excitement known in the annals Of the Anne ricAn
stage. Baby Benson is only four years old yet in her
songs, dances, and Lingard changes, she fairly out
rivals any performer in the world. An extra matinee
was given Thursday afternoon and great the
rush to little Benson that thousand chill
dren were turned away unable to obtain admission.
The above artistic will appear at Town
Hall Friday and Saturday evenings, August
Both an d 3lst, in conjunction with Fish 4
Benson's Great Moral Show.
William Trussell, a brakeman on the
freight train going north, Wednesday
afternoon, was run over by the down pas
senger train near Westminster depot, and
injured so that he died in a few hours. His
train had only partially switched of, and
he was sent with flag TO notify the coming
passenger train, and, it is supposed, lay
down on the track and fell asleep. 1t is
believed that he was not intoxicated at the
time, but his mind has never been consid-
cred quite right since receiving a severe
injury in the head at Putney bridge, last
winter. He belonged in Charlestown, n.
H., and was about 80 years of age.
