THAT MEETING AT REYNOLDS.
T Was Grand Eizzle.

To Editors Argus;
The much talked and extensively adyer-
tised meeting Of the Socialistic Labor Re-
formers ~ which was to astonish the ma
tives and carry destruction to.the camp of
the enemy, occurred on Thursday even
ing. and was 10 every seuse fzzle. The
portly preacher talked, ranted, spread
himself and tore around, good deal after
the fashion of man who had grudge
against the world and took that means Of
reYenging himself on the surviving inha-
bitants.
The attendance consisted Of about Is or
20 soulsl- this is no exaggeration) The
address of the Commune Chief fell like
a wet blanket, and even bis adjutant, a
sewing machine peddler named j. Miller,
failed to stir up the enthusiasm which was
to follow the effort of the prodigious lump
of humanity who acted as boss manager"
of the circus.
Only three signed the club list, and these
are not residents of this county, but rail.
road employees who live in Mercer county,
and who signed more for amusement thar
anything else.
Truly, the socialists work is barren sol
in these parts.
The crops never looked better and thu
yield will be all that could be desired.
The democrats in the vicinity stanC
steadily by their principles and you car
count on Edgi1gton township giving ;
good account of itself at the polls.
Have just time to get this on the train
and will have to cut short until next time

Yesterday John Mayer complained Of
Ann Krogan for befouling the alley, for
which she was fined $40 by Justice Crop
per. Immediately thereafter Ann went
before Justice Hayden and complained of
Mayer for using abusive language. This
morning Mayer appeared and took a
change of venue to Justice Chopper and
Ann was SO incensed at that official for
fiDinE her yesterday that she would not
appear to prosecute, so Mayer got of. al
though he had confessed enough to JUS
tiee Hayden to convict him.
Dorsey Patten. an employee at the gov
eminent works on the island, with sever
al of his chams, had knock down argu-
ment in front of Mitchell & Lynde's bank
last night. The police appeared and
Quoted these Patten was very important
and abusive, threatening to get even with
a can Of kerosene, if Officer German com
planned of him. German told him he
would get a warrant for him if he didn't
keep quiet to which Patten replied. "l'll
murder you the first opportunity if you
do" To-day Patten was arrested and
taken before Justice Hayden. on complaint
of Officer German, and required to give
5000. bonds to keep the peace for sixty
days or 20 to Jail for that period. He did
the latter. There are two complaints

THE MAYORS ANNUAL RE-
PORT.

Last evening Mayor Weed, who has
with much credit to himself discharged
the duties of Mayor of this city for
the two past years, submitted to the
City Council bis second annual report
upon the financial condition OF the city
with tabular statement showing the
receipts from the various funds and ex-
penditurcs therefrom. From the latter
it will be seen that the debt Of the
city is reduced only about 800 during
the past year, it having then been sl6-
1913 SO, and being now $1,000 50.
This, as he says in his report, "under
all the circumstances. and the Difficult
ties encountered in carrying on the
government in consequence OF Judge
Lewis decision against the validity Of
our city charter. Is . better showing
than could have been reasonably ex-
pected." And we are in justice bound
to reiterate what we said last year.
upon his exhibit then made. that the
report on the whole makes o very salts
factory showing. is very creditable to
our Mayor, and while complimentary
to the present members of our City
Council. and our city officers. who are
again before the people for election
it does not give them any more COM
mendation than they are deserving of
for an honest and faithful admInistra-
ton of our municipal affairs.
