Cross village and Cheboygan State
Road.
In accordance with the advertisement
of Local Commissioner Wagley. of Cross
Village, the proposals for building the
west end of the Cross Village and Che
bOygan State Road, 154 miles, were
opened at Little Traverse. at the office
of the county treasurer Friday afternoon
of last week. There were four bids in,
as follows:
Thomas Colwell, of Missaukee county. S15,315
Robert Robinson, of Cheboygan, whole
road completed this year. ........ 1876
Robert Robinson, two years to build it. 1875
C. p. Sweet, OF Kalkaska. ............. IA, l75
In Mr.. RObinsOn's bid to build the road
in two years he agrees to complete eight
miles of the west end this year and to
cut winter road through the remaining
distance to the boundary line between
the two counties. providing c. P. Sweet,
the contractor for the east division, COM
pletes his contract this year.
The bids will be submitted to the
Board of Control at their meeting the

fact that Mr.. Sweet already has con-
tract for this end OF the road, which we
think he wllI do well if he completes il

the favor of Mr.. Robinson with the Board,
We have no dorbt either gentlemen

Tuscarora Tswnship.

For rapid development and increase of
population we believe that TuscarOra
will prove the banner township of the
county. Four years ago. wilder
ness without an inhabitant, to-day 140
families and numbering 5S8 8inhabitants,
has 700 acres of cleared Land, 4S farms
with acres and over cleared and under
cultivation. In 1879 it had SO acres in
wheat, producing 1850 bushels; 43 acres
in corn, producing 1,100 bushels of
shelled corn; 40 acres in potatoes, rails
ing 1900 bushels. The value of farm
products was $15OOO for the year. In
the,spring of 1879 they made $500 lbs of
maple sugar i'm addition to a large quan-
tity of syrup. There are Is good frame
dwellings aud more being constructed.
The log dwellings are comfortable and
some of them large and conveniently ar
ranged. The citizens believe in educa-
tiOn and have built 8 school houses two
of them substantial frame structures.
There are three church organizations i'm
the the town, During the year ending
May 31st there We're 8 deaths in the town
two of them being transient persons,
three of the residents were children and
the fourth an old man who died from
consumption. There are 1856 males over
2l years of age which would indicate a
prospect of good sized vote at the ap-
preaching election. There are only two
fractional quarter sections of govern
ment land, containing less than 70acres,
remaing untaken in the town. For the
above figures we are indebted to Z. A.
Faunce. census enumeration. The citi-
zens of TuscarOra are enterprising and
industrious and are doing good work
toward making ''the wilderness blossom
as rOse," and it will not be many years
until this portion of our county will be

necessaries of life consumed in this

'Its efficacy in kidney, liver and urinary
diseases is so fully acknowledged that it

The Rife Contest.

As stated last week, owing to an un-
fortunate misunderstanding in regard
to transportation, therifle team from the
Fort at Mackinac did not reach here un
til afternoon of Saturday. That portion
of the day was devoted, according TO the
programme, to the races, and as cOnse-
quence no contest between the two rifle
teams took place. Monday the team
from the Cheboygan Gun club went to
Mackinac and contested with the team
from the fort upon tiseir own range, the
result being in favor of the ChebOygan
team by four points. The following is
the official score. M

Not relishing the defeat of their team
the officers of the fort proposed another
match during the week to take place in
ChebOygan and sent word over Thursday
that if acceptable to the team from the
gun club, they would be over Friday on
on the Mary to shoot the return match.
The time was satisfactory to the club
and word was sent to Mackinac to that
effect, and yesterday afternoon, on the
range at the trOtting park, the contest took
place, resulting in very exciting and
close contest, but victory rested with the.
ChebOygan club by one point. The foi-i
lowing is the score.

An Electoral Blunder.

PRINTING OMISSIONS THAT WOULD
HAVE CHANGED THE PRESIDENTIAL,
RESULT IN '76.
Chicago, November PA despatch
from indianapolis says that b. G.. Par
ker, the Republican Elector nomi-
mated in place of General Thomas w.
Bennett, who was withdrawn because
OF his alleged connection with Fede-
raj office, has been defeated through
the blunders of omiting his name
from the tickets in Perry, Floyd,
Bartholomew, Putnam and Wells
counties, in which Parker did not get
a single vote. This will elect ID. w.
Chambers the Democrat Elector, by
about 5000 majority.
A FURTHER EXPLANATION.
indianapolis, November 2I.-By
reason of the stupidity of some of the
election officers the votes cast for
Benjamin q. Parker as elector on the
Republican ticket in several counties
in the State were returned for Thomas
w. Bennett, who was not a candidate.
The tickets iur the whole State were
printed 10y the State Central Com
mittee, and were correct, but the poll
books and tally-sheets, which were
under the law, provided by the local
authorities, contained 10y mistake the
name of Bennett, who had declined.
and for whom Parker had been sub.
stituted The attention of election
officers and local committees in every
precinct IN the State was called to the
charge, and every precautiOn urged to
see THAT the proper corrections were
made in the tall-sheets and poll-books,
and it is only by the grossest careless
hess of the election officers that vot es
which were cast for Benjamin G.
Parker should he returned for Thomas
w. Bennett. The error affects several
thousand votes, and under certain cir
cumstances, may lead to certificate
being given to one of the Hancock
Electors, who has received larger
vote on the face of the returns than
that counted for Parker. Governor
Gray, when interviewed on the sub
ject to-day, said there was no desire to
take advantage of II technicalty, as
one Elertor from indiana would be OF
no possible advantage to the Demo-
Gratis, but he knew Of no legal method
of correcting the returns If it should
appear that the mistake was made by
the clerks of Election Boards i'm credit
ing the votes for Parker to Bennett on
the tally sheet, but if the error was on
the part of the county clerks he
thought it might be corrected, because
those officials were still in existence,
while the Election Board, having
passed ont of existence, could not be
reorganized to correct any error that
had been made. As in seven counties
hetotal Republican vote is returned for
Bennett it is probable that the view of
the case adopted 10y the Governor may
furnish II solution of the difficulty
The official shows that Bennett re-
ceived ,5l5 votes in Wells county, L.
500 in Perry, 2,ll3 in Floyd, l,065 in
Union, 2,515 in Bartholomew, .4SG in
Owen and ., ,l39 in Putnam

Sleeper Telescoped.

Macon, Ga, November 29.-Early
yesterday morning passenger train
OH the Georgia Central railroad broke
in half twelve miles from Macon. The
steam break stopped the rear half on
down grade. A heavy freight train
following telescoped the sleeper half
way, killing the engineer. The presi-
dent of the Central railroad, w. M.
Wadley, and the vice president, Mr..
Raoul, were in the sleeping car, but
escaped through u window. Several
of the passengers were hurt, but none
fatally. A few minutes after the col
lision second heavy freight ran into
the middle train, smashing the cars
into fragments. Engineer Crosby of
the middle train, was standing with
his hand on the lever, which was re-
versed; he was jammed against the
hot boiler by the freight car leaping
over the tender and was disembowled
and roasted. The other engineers and
firemen leaped and were saved. Matt
Freeman, of Macon, was badly cut i'm
the head by fragment of u car
seat. Raoul had his ankle spraned.
The accident occurred on a steep grade
where the trains could not he checked.
The track has been cleared and trains
are again running.

The list shows that in one district IN
Mississippi 5,358 ballots were thrown
out, and this does not include COaho-
ma, where all the boxes, save one,
were thrown out. What other work ;
was done we know not, but We do
know that the above is enough to last
awhile.
Our readers should reflect seriously
on this business. Every good citizen
is more or less interested in it. II is
alleged that this is done in the interest
OF the Democratic party, and that the
party is asked by Gen. Chambers
organ to carry it. 1t is not done in the
interest of the Democratic party or
the best interests oNthe people, ana
the party, the officials, the district,
and the State, should positively re-
fuse to cOuntenance it. 1t is done in u
futile effort TO force a man into Con
gress regardless Of the INJURY it will
do to our party to our gooi name ana
To our State. AS one who has served
the Democratic party second To none
in the State and South, we spurn il

The Search for the FOrger.

DISCOVERY THAT THE ENVELOPE
ORIGINALLY BORE ANOTHER NAME.
New York, November 23.-Counsel
for the prosecution in the Morey letter
case for some time past have been
carefully examining the letter and the
envelope in which it was enclosed, to
see if either would afford any clue to
the writer. AS has heretofore been
stated, the Washington postmarll is
different from that in use at the Post
Office there ut the date of the letter
Now il is certain that the envelope
originally bore another name. Pho
tograph copies of it, very much en-
largeI, have been taken, and these
!eveal that an address has been nearly
erased from it. The name was either
Cox or Fox" care OF some COM
pany, New York City,, The first
name looks like Edwin or Edward
Various inquiries have been made
among persons bearing this name but
without results. None of them recalls
receiving Il letter from Washington at
that time. Inquiries will he con-
tinued in this direction. Meanwhile
no additional indictments have been
found by the Grand Jury against any
of the persons implicated in forging
and circulating the letter. 1t was eX
pected that some would be found to-
day. John |. Davenport has returned
from Ohio, and when asked how he
left the President telect he laugbingly
replied that he was not at Mentor:
that he event no further than CIeve-
land.n Dispatches from the West rc.
ported that both he and Marshall
Jewell, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, had called on
General Garfield. 1t was understood
that they were there in connection
with the forged letter.

HEAVY VERDICT AGAINST A BANK-A
CASE FOR THE UNITED STATES SU
PREME COURT.

HEAVY VERDICT AGAINST A BANK-A
CASE FOR THE UNITED STATES sU
PREME COURT.
Lancaster, Nov. 2i.-One of the
most Interesting cases ever tried
i'll this vicinity has just been decided
in the Common Pleas Court of this
County, resulting in a verdict of
S9,444.S7 in favor of Frederick :
Ble;z, of Columbia, against the Col
umbia National Bank. The suit was
brought for penalty for the alleged
charging oi usuriOus interest, an Act
of Congress providing that no national
bank shall take IL greater rate Of in
tres than the law of the State in which
the bank is located allows, and pre-
scribing Il penalty equal to double the
amount of interest paid. The circum-
stances of the ease were these: Be-
tween December 1, 1871, nd Septem-
ber 3, 1873, the plaintiff, Mr.. BIetz. who
was an extensive lumber merchant of
Columbia, had number of notes
discounted at the COiunihia National
Bank advancing interest for the use of
this money to the amount of S. 222. IA
He therefore brought action To recover
CHAPS, double the amount of
interest paid. with interest from
DecenIh' |, 1873, and the ahove facts
having been proved the court directed
verdict in favor of plaintiff for the
whole amount, original claim and
interest 50 ,434S7.
THE DEFENSE.
For the dritnse it was claimed that
in Il san LrUught sGme years ago in
which the Columbia National Bank
was plaintiff and Mr.. Blelz defendant
just the reverse of the present case
but involving the same issues-all eX-
cess Of interest above 6 per cent. and
interest on the same had been allowed
as an offset. They cIaimed, further,
that the act of Congress allows n
National bank to charge as much
interest as any bank of issue i'm the
State where it j. located. and that i'm
the years 1871, 1872 and 1873 numerous
banks of this kind were chartered, in
which they were authorized to charge
whatever interest might be agreed
upon between the parties, aud also
that the Columbia National Bank was
not liable for any penalty, because Mr..
Blctz had been reimbursed for all the
interest he had paid, that having been
a waiver of any penalty that mipht
attach. In conclusion, they held that
the State Courts had 10 jurisdiction in
actions of this kind. The ease has
excited great interest, and will go to
the Supreme Court of the United
States for adjudication. Messrs. George
NJ. Kline and >. III. Reynolds APP

While Thomas Coyle and his
brother Francis were on their way
to their home in Kelleyville, Della
ware county, on Tuesday afternoon,
they were attacked back of Woodland
Cemetery by two tTamps. One of the
strangers caught hold of the coat of
Thomas and presented n revolver at
his head. Francis Coyle came to his
rescue and struck the tramp on the
head with stone, telling him to the
ground and featuring his skull The
Coyle brothers were then pursued by
several other rough characters who
had been lurking about the neighbor-
hood, but the appearance of an officer
caused the gang to take to their heels
They were chased and the following
were captured james Cullen and
James Riley of New York: Edward
Knight of No. l0S Siegel street; Ed
ward Jones of Camden, n. j.; James
Iaynor and John w. Thomas. Re-
turning to the scene of the attack the
officers found the injured tramp, who
gave the name of John Sheppard,
lying on the ground. He was re-
moved to the University Hospital,
where his condition was reported
to be critical. The Coyle brothers
were also taken into custody, and yes
terday all of the parties were given
hearing at the Central Station. John
w. Thomas was held in 81 800 bail as
the ringIeader of the gang, and the
others were placed under $500 bail
each. Thomas and Francis Coyle
were committed to await the result of
Sbeppard's injuries. Later in the day
application was made to Jndge
Thayer in the old Court house to fix
bail in the case, and the Judge. after
listening to the facts, named $4,000 as
the amount.
