BELLAIRK.

A COUPLE our fellow citizens, one be-
ing for Blaine and the other for Bristow,
got on their muscle little yesterday, and
waltzed around in each others arms, on
South Union street for few moments,
and then they crossed over and swung
their corners, and then they all balan ced.
After the dance was over, they went
over to the Mayors office and paid his
Honor three dollars and costs each. No
body was hurt. This was the result Of
the first ballot. The Convention was
only temporarily organized. The Blsihe
men are still confident and Bristow
stock firm, with an upward tendency.
Prepare your ballots for another vote.

The Board of Directors OF the B. Il ).
w. r. R. were in session here Saturday.
We are informed that they have already
contracted for the cross ties and are now
negotiating for nails and machinery and
will ere long be actively engaged in the
construction of the road, 1t seems our
Wegee friends fail to appreciate the
benefit TO be derived from the road, If
built by the Wegee route. They have
not secured the right OF way and several
parties living on Putney Bottom, who
would be greatly benefited have not
subscribed dollar, given the right OF
way or even given the enterprise word
of encouragement. If such carelessness
is to continue, we hope the route WI 20
by some other route.
The surveyors started out this morn
ing to again examine the Through Run
route and the question Of abandoning
the wagon route Is being considered.
BRIDGEPORT.
MONDAY afternoon as two gj''s named
Maggie Porter and Ella Ro:ic, we're as
cending on the elevator at the La Belle
Glass Works, the leather belt which raised
the elevator parted, letting them tall
about twenty-four feet. There were
ninstv-nine large glass bowls on the ele-
vator at the time. Miss Porter's ankle
was broken and both girls were badly
bruised. All the bowls but three were
broken. 1t is a wonder that the girls es-
capped alive from such fall. Their in
jures, while very severe are not now
thought to be so serious as 10 disable or
injure them permanently. The leather
belt which caused the accident Il new
one and it broke where it WAS rveled,
the rivots cutting through. The Com
pary furnish medical attendance for the
injured and continue their pay while dis
abled. The blame, if blame there be,
seems to rest with the makers of the
betting and not upon any one con-
nected with the glass company.
On account of the occurrence OF SO many
elevator accidents all should be provided
with safety catches, that would Instantly
check the fall if the hosting apparatus
should break. Let all who use them sec
TO it that these attachments, which cost
but little are put on, and there will be
fewer accidents of this kind.
In our items yesterday we were in er-
ror in regard to the locstion of Bradley
Smiths building site. IL is on Howard

THE Sherman House is undergoing re-
