Shortly before going to press this after

lives on the Island, that the ice has
knocked out part of Sears dam aud has
gorged below, setting the water.back over
the entire road near the toll gate-a state

1t is said that the republicans are at
their wits ends for a candidate for Mayor.
They are averse to renominating the gen

the ARGUS.

promoted to the captaincy; Second Lieut..
G. G. Carter to the first 1ieutenantcy and
Second Sergeant William f. Channon to
the second leutenantcy-al most adj
