Annexation would bring untold troubles.
One fact many do not realize: There are
100000 Roman Catholics in Mexico, which,
with the large Roman Catholic population
in this country, would produce political and
religious effects desirable to avoid. Officials
in Mexico with whom | came in contact are

tablished his business about twenty
eight years ago, married here a d rear
ell his family OF seven children, some to

with this and surrounding communi-
ties so that all intimately knew him, and
his acquaintauces uniformly concur in

ests, made for his family u generous

tions of cultured society. Altogether

They say A. T. Stewards body has
at last been placed in the Memorial Ca
thedral at Garden City, not in the superb
sarcophagus at first intended in the
crypt, but inclosed between massive
slabs of granite, boited with iron and
the joints loaded, beneath the pavement
of the superb mausoleum, on which
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended in order to render it
beautiful. OF course skeptics say that
the yarns about mysterious midnight
trains, reticent workmen, electric alarm
wires connected with the chimes, etc.,
are all started to give color to the i'm.

Akron is now lighted in part by the
Brush Electric light, having two CEN
tiers, one at Howard and Market streets
and one on the college. The expense
was provided for by taxation before be-
ginning the work, and the net cost is g
trifle over S., 900; the estimated annual
cost of lighting will be not far from $1,-
$50. They have big iron tower the
first ever constructed, 220 feet in length,
2OS feet standing above the surface of
the street. The Beacon says: Summing
up the work performed, it is a moderate
statement of the case to say that the
guaranty of the Brush Company, Of
ample light within a radius of half mile
from each light-center, was fully met.
The experiment was most satisfactory
and all who beheld it were delighted and
voted the Brush Electric Light a promi-
nent success. The city now has 800
street lamps, having added 500 new oil
lamps since "the gas war" began. The
entire costs of lamps, oil and lighting,
has averaged $4,000 a year. Electric
light will be cheaper yet. In five years,
the city paid the Akron Gas Co. $2S, ,975
for gas and lighting, besides $1,000 or
81, 900 for repairs, &c.

Election.

Scarcely any election Of recent date has
excited q more lively interest than the one
held Tuesday to all tho office Of Mayor for
the remainder Of Mr.. Fuller's unexpired
term. Every effort was made in advance to
make 1t Q peaceable day by uniting upon q
candidate acceptable to all factions and par
ties. II seemed for some days that thcoffice
was, this time, bound to 20 begging, for
almost every one on whom the citizens could
unite was unwilling to take 1t. At last how
ever, after much canyassing, and learning, as
was supposed, that Mr.. Wilbur would be
generally acceptable, he was persuaded to
accept the nomination. Even the leaders Of
the Democracy, as well as many Of the rank
and file, Joined heartily In his support, aud
it was the expectation, on the part of the
business men, almost without exception, that
there would be no other candidate In the
aeld, and there was no little surprise when
It was learned that, from among the Repub-
Iicsns themselves, an opposition candidate
had been found for an ONCE that In itself is
every way undesirable to the individual,
bringiug small pay and less honor. and only
fruitful In vexation, misrepresentation and
abuse. We were, ~ usual, doomed to disap-
pointment, for We found, on the morning Of
election, that the friends of ]. B. Lang had
entered him for the race, and had awakened
lively interest In his success. In this free
country men have . right to support whom
they please Tor office, and any one who
chooses may be . candidate, but in this par
ticular instance. when there was nothing
about which to make contest We could not
but regard Il In bad taste to make an oppo-
sition to one against whom net the slight

made, and who only consented to be q candi-

half dozen or more had peremptorily declined

position gotten up merely to spite some of
