Morris tribune., 1880-10-28

most impossible condition, the vote of
Tuesday will not be full one, as many
will remain at home in preference to oc-
cupying the day in getting to and from the
polls.
SAY.-Several applications have been
made for permission to run as independent
candidates, by people who have become
infected with the office seeking mania, but
we are compelled, by purely philantropic
motives, to positively decline granting the
requests. All the positions, as well as the
candidates, are full and running over.
The many old friends of ExConductor
A. Guthrie will be pleased to hear of his
having been deservedly promoted from the
important position of master OF transpor'
tation to the honorable and responsible
position of assistant superintendent in
charge of this line and branches. Archie
deserves his honors and wears them grace
fully.
An exchange says: eff you would keep
your rosy complexion, wear thick soled
boots" Our esteemed contemporary
should have stated that this thick soled
business did not apply to papas with hand
some daughters. Our experince has been
as we sailed over the door step, and were
gently famed with number ten, that thin
soles answered all purposes.
IMPoRTANT-It is important that town
clerks or judges of election forward the
returns promptly, and we hope the full and
complete official returns will be handed to
the auditor on the night of the election
as the party who carries the returns to the
auditor receives mileage for his services, it
is to be hoped that they will be forwarded
with all possible dispatch.
PRosPEcTIvE.-We learn that Mr.. H. r.
De Laplain contemplates the erection and
equipment of a first class machine shop in
this village at future date. This enter
prise is one which will be of much benefit
to all, and will prove paying investment
from the start. We understand that ar
rangements will be made to have the es-
tablishment ready for business by March.
Loss OF STOCK Considerable stock per
ished in the storm of last week, and from
reports which have been received from va
rous parts of the county, the probabilities
are that the losses are more serious than At
first supposed. The following are the
losses as reported: John Hall. one steer
John Cullahan four head of milch cows
Thomas Landy, one span of horses
Joseph Schultz, six sheep and two calves.
PER1sHED From Gracevile we learn
that an old man, German, perished in
the storm of last week 1t appears that the
man-whose name we have not been able
ascertain, was caught in the storm while
returning from town, and after wandering
about for time took refuge in shanty,
where he died from exposure, having been
unable to light fire, as the matches on
his person had got wet.
The twenty three men who are not can
didates in this county are about distracted
and will take to the woods at the first
opportunity. The poor fellows don't know
what to do or how to vote, so to escape
being talked to death they have promised
everybody their votes and support as often
as asked, and are consequently in state
of mind bordering so close on frenzy and
lunacy that their condition is both serious
and critical.
EPIsCoPAL.-At a meeting of the vestry
of the All Saints parish, last Monday, &C
ton was taken ON the question of the cree
ton of church cdifice. and the building
committee were authorized and empower
ed to make immediate arrangements fol
building If it is possible to procure ma
terial this editice will. it is expected, be
completed by Christmas. Messrs. Baily
6 Smith were awarded the contract for the
carpenter work.
NoTIcE.-As there is a probability OF
there being numerous political dead ducks
after election, we have contracted for the
lot, and will sell and dispose of the same
to the highest bidder and in lots to sui
purchasers. Terms cash on delivery, anC
free ticket-for soup-will be given tC
the widows and orphans of the deceased
candidates The proceeds of the sale ART
to be applied in defraying the expenses o.
transporting those driven insane to st
Peter s- Raa45--. -.a44 -ss.
BRAScH BRIEFS. The track layers re
turned from breckenridge last Sabbath
and have gone to GraceviIle to complete
the laying of the iron on the branch
There will be no delay hereafter, unfavor
. able weather excepted, and as large force
is employed, there are excellent prospect
of the early completion of the line. Super
, intendent Guthrie was in town Saturday
!, arranging details for the rapid prosecution
of the work, which is to be fastened will
all possible dispatch.
CONCERT To NIGHT.--The Clement Broth
ers' Concert Company, an old and reliabl
combination of worthy artists, will Civ
, an entertainment in this village this even
ing. Of the company we can say tina
from accounts of their performances, a
+ given by our exchanges, they are of
high order such as has met with mucI
favorable notice. The artists, one and all
rank we'll in their professions, and III
: company is such an one as deserves sur
rort, and merits the public patronage.
CANDIDATEs.-A card elsewhere pub
lislled announces that I. w. Watersto
has entered the field as an Independent
candidate for Judge of Probate Althoug
Mr.. Waterston states that he has not Ell
: tered the field for the purpose of defcatln
: or electing any one candidate, yet as Ii
has not concealed his enmity toward til
regular republican nominee, Mr.. Darling
that gentleman's many friends are of til
: opinion that it is an unfair and trcacherou
r attempt to defeat him. This is the geners
opinion on all sides, and from the fac
