poed All OF the liquor saloons are closed till to-
morrow morning and the entire police force are on
duty, which promise to insure peaceful election
one novel feature OF the election is that both
partleS distributed their tickets to the address
OF eacn registered voter through the post Office yes
terday and the carriers had TO deliver about
local letters. The candidates for mayor are f. C.
Latrobe, democrat, and j. Munroe HeiSkell citizens
non-partfsan nominee. The republicans made no
nomination, but are expected TO support Mr. Hefs-
Kell, Ne VINO mas always acted with the democrats.
The indications thus far that Mr. HeiSkell is not
pong the full republican vote nor the full vote OF
the workingmen, and is probably defeated.

same good result Is apparent In the collection of
arrears OF tax, with the exception of arrears due
prior to the levy Of 1884, on personal tax nothing
having been collected during the current year on
this account. OF this current years general tax

The ROBBERY AT DARLINGToN.--The store of
Mr. Thos. II. 9. Reed, in Darlington, was entered
by burglars, after IL. O'Clock on Wednesday
night of last week, and the safe blown open and
robbed. Two men are believed 10 have been
engaged in the transaction. Entrance was eff
fected by bursting off the bolt of the front win
dow shutter They then drilled small hole
in the safe door, just below the knob, filled the
hole with powder and blew open the safe, com
ptetely wrecking it. Traces of blood were
found on the floor near by, showing that one
of the thieves must have been hurt by the ex-
plosion. They obtained from the safe about
$50 in money belonging to Mr.. Reed The
postof1lce is kept in the store, DR.. II. G.. White
ford being the postmaster, and the stamps were
also kept in the safe. They removed the post
office money and stamp drawers, and carried
them across the road, into Il field, where they
rfled them, securing about S120 worth of post
age stamps and small quantity of change,
throwing the drawers away. Before they left
they refreshed themselves with bread and butter
and carried away all the silk handkerchiefs out
of the show window, all the best coats, except
one, razors,2 pistols, several pairs of scissors
cigar cases. combs brushes, &c. They did moi
touch any of the mail matter as far as could be
learned. The drop box was full of letters anC
pennies dropped in TO pay postage, but was moi
disturbed. They carried Mr.. Reeds pocket
book to the door and carefully examined it
leaving all the papers, checks, &C., which they
could not use. A large hammer, screw driver
ehisel and brace used were taken from Mr.. JOIN
Sheridan's blacksmith shop, in the neighbor
hood. With the screw driver they removed III,
keeper from the front door and made their ext
il that way, first eXtinguishing lamp and q can
die they had used. Their movements were ap
parently very deliberate, as they evidently stop
ped in the field long enough to replace the
soiled stockings with clean ones taken from III,
store.
The explosion was heard by Mrs. Reed, whos
bed room is over the back building in the rea
of the store room. She thought a lamp had cx
ploded, and finding that burning, looked out o
the windows front and rear, but hearing nothing
to alarm her went to sleep again. Miss Jani
Ferguson, guest at Mrs Annie f. Wilson's
$50 yards from the store, also heard the noise
at2 A. NJ. No clue was left to indicate il
which direction the men went. They were nj
doubt professionals About ~ O'clock, Messrs
Robert f. Prigg and Jos. +. Ely, returnin!
home met two men in the street, who concealed
their faces and passed By without speaking
These are believed TO have been the burglars
