The Lawrence Tribune nomin-
ates NJ. f. Hudson as candidate
for reform Governor. They could
not select 4 better man from their
ranks, we presume. We hope the
reformers may bring out their best
men. We should like to contend
with the best men they can pro-
duce. There would be no honor
in defeating some ofthe reformers.

used for the storage of water for
Church, and Bros, for the run

the food poured down toward
Chester where it did very serious
damage. The water swept over
farms, gardens and woods, and
several houses were moved some
distance. The water also did
considerable damage to the Han
um Edge Tool Co. The water
power of this company is entirely
destroyed. Lueius' farm of thirty
acres was badly damaged. Also a
large farm of Newton Cowle's
near by.
All the valley residents in the
vicinity of Chester have suffered
more or less by damage to farms
and gardens. The high water
continued at Chester for about an
hour. Four bridges were carried
of. The Boston and Albany rail-
road is very badly damaged for a
distance of nearly twenty miles.
