WIFE.
From the Georgetown Inquirer.
On Wednesday morning the wife of
William Burton, who lives uear Mills
borough, drove to Georgetown and had
her horse hitched in front of Rodney's
store. She came here osteDsibly TO buy
medicine. Soon after her arrival John
Simpler also put In an appearance and

Glothen, Mr.. Rodney's clerk. The pair
then met somewhere in town and took
the noon train north en- route. 1t is said,
for Texas. T-r"F, ~.
As The woman did not return Mr.. Nc
Glothen had the horse stabbed in the
evening and an hour or so later Isaac
Burton, father Of William, whose sus-
picions had been aroused by her absence,
came to town and took charge of the
team. It was found that she had taken
all her clothing from her home and 1923

The election for Chief Engineer of
the Fire Department, and two assist
ants takes place this evening at the re-
spective engine houses between the
hours of and 10 o'clock.
IL Is asserted by some that there will
be no election by the Department, and
that the election would go to Council.
These assertions were made on the
ground that certain number of the
members of the Friendship and Reli-
ahce were dissatisfied with the action
Of their delegates who attended the
convention on Wednesday night last,
and would refuse to support he nomi-
nees. 1t is true that there are few
dissatisfied members in the two COM
panies mentioned, but not sufficient
number to defeat the nominations.
The matter now has taken an unex-
pected turn. At a meeting Of the
Washington Fire Company held on
Friday evening last, the company by
an unanimous vote endorsed the NOM
ination of Samuel G. Tazewell for
Chief Engineer. They also nominated
for First Assistant, Joseph Cash of
the Reliance; and for Second Assistant,
William McFadden of the Washington.
This action on the part of the Wash

business. but it may leave The election
of the Assistants in doubt, however,
