As indicated br the voting up to nssn,
there is rather iEht vote out in some wards,
while it is heavier in others. Take the city
over, probably il is about an average. At
least, the shortage is as Plainly indicated in
Democratic as in Republican quarters; per-
haps more so. Everything is % quiet as
could be and there are few incidents to record.
Some think the Democratic vote is being held
back with intention of creating a stampede
at the last moment Whether or not there
are any grounds for this belief no Republi-
can, who hasn't voted, should fail to 60 at
once to his precinct polls and de-
posit straight ticket. At the
spring election two years ago, at the noon
hour the number of votes cast was as follows:
First Ward, iO2; Second ward, 355: Third
ward, $50; Fourth ward, 359; Fifth ward
A, 500, B, s4i Sixth ward, 652; Seventh
ward, 537; Eighth ward, 279; Ninth ward,
2sl. at the election October IA, 1884, the
noon vote footed up $500 and at the Presi-
dental election following the vote cast up to
noon was as follows: First Ward, 5ll; Sec
oud ward, $40; Third ward, A, $50, B, 3l3;
Fourth ward, 545; Fifth ward, A, s22, B, 2l2; /;
Sixth ward, A, 427, B, 462; Seventh ward,
A, 23s B, 355; Eighth ward, A, 39l, B, Isl; /;
Ninth ward, a, 46l:-6,07s.
At neon today-that is, between IL and
12.30-the number of votes cast in each
ward and precinct, was as follows:
First ward, ass; Second ward, 3ll; Third
ward, A, 347; Third ward, B, 2O2; Fourth
ward, 532; Fifth ward, A, SAB; Fifth ward,
B, III; Sixth ward, A, 265; Sixth ward, 3,
80; Seventh ward, A, 1875; Seventh ward,
B, 3l3; Eighth ward, A, $40; Eighth ward,
B, ll2; Ninth ward, 3ls.
In the "close" wards there can be nothing
very definite as to ward tickets. In the
ninth the Democrats claim Jenningss defeat
tor Council, but the Republicans with able
Democratic assistance, are working like
beavers, and don't give it up by ag. +. In
the Fifth the Democrats are scratching Mar
tin, for Council, right along; and Knote, it is
said, is getting the same sort of medicine Of
the Second, About the emily real fun of the
day is in the Fourth, where q veritable bat
tie of the giants is in progress.

Among the curious old English Gus
toms followed in Lent was the pelting
of puppet called Jack O. Lent, the
origin of which canno: be discovered.
Ben johnson, in The Tale of a Tub, I"
refers to it:
on an ash Wednesday,
When thou did'st stand six weeks the Jack O.
Lent
For boys to hurl three throws penny at thee.
The fourth Sunday is termed mid
Lent, or Passion Sunday; it was for
merly called Carl Sunday, as on that
day beans or peas, called earrings"
used to be given away or eaten. The
following appears in a translation of
French book on Lent, published in 1865:
"After the salad (eaten in Lent at the
FIRST service) we eat fried beanes, BY
which we understand confession. When
we would have beanes well sooden we
lay them in steepe, for otherwise they
will never seeth kindly Therefore, if
We purpose to mend our faults, it is not
sufficient barely to confess them at all
adventure, but we must let our confess
sion lie in steepe in the water of medi-
tation."
The old English poet Shelton, in his
''Colin Clout," writes:
In holy Lenton Season,
Ye viii neither Beanes nor Peason,
But ye look to be let loose
To pigge or to goose.
Among the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans the forty days Immediately pre-
ceding Easter were set apart for fasting
and prayer, beginning with what is now
the first Sunday of Lent and ending on
Holy Thursday. Various periods of
fasting, from thirty-six to seventy days.
were observed by them till the year A.
d. $50, when Gregory the Great order
ed that the fast should begin the sixth
Sunday before Easter. and that all the
weekdays between that time and Eas
ter should be fasting days. But as this
gave only thirty-six days, the last four
days of the preceding woek were added
by either that Pope or Gregory the Sec
ond. Thus the solemn fast began oD

Sunday Morning Blaze.

At half past one O'Clock Sunday morning q
man rushed into the Western Engine House
and reported that stable was burning in
the rear of C. A. Davis paint store on Main
street between Factory and Mechanic. Box
was keyed in and the Centrals and West
erns responded promptly. The fire was
located in . carriage shed and stable belonging
to VIM. R. Burnett The two buildingsare on
the east side of the alley, but do not adjoin
sach other. The fire spread rapidly, and in Q
few moments both buildings seemed doomed.
Quick work, however, soon got the blaze un-
der control. The carriage shed was almost
totally destroyed, and the other stable badly
damaged, both to the amount of probably
$3.50, which is covered by insurance.
In the carriage shed were q
buggy belonging to c. A. Davis, valued
at about $50; a carriage belonging to W
R. Burnett, valued at $500; buggy belong
ing to 8. 8. Slscker, valued at 500; and q
lot of carpets and other household goods be-
longing to Stacker, valued at about $50.
These were all destroyed. In the stable were
q fine sleigh, q set of harness, and several
bushels Of corn, all belonging to
William Clark, the saloonist, and
valued at about 500; which were also de-
stroyed. Two fine horses belonging to Mr..
Clark were in the stable but they were gotten
out, but not before one Of them was badly
scorched and bruised. The total loss on
buildings, carriages, &C., is about $3.50. The
amount of the insurance could not be learned.
The doors to both buildings had been locked
early in the evening. but the man who gave
the alarm claims that when he went to the
stable the door was open. He also says that
be could smell burning coal oil, and from all
the facts there is no doubt the fire was the
work of An ipcendiarist.

PROGRESS OF THE ELECTION.

Republican Hopes Eun High, and Every
thing Indicates The Election of the
Straight Ticket-I'ot Fight in Some Pre-
ciucts on Ward Ofncers-The Vote Up to
the Noon Hour.
The first point OF consi ieration in conuec-
ton with an election, as well as any other
picnic, is the weather. 1t could not te bet
ter for the business in hand today, and Re-
publican spirits rose several notches with the
indications at dawn of a perfect spring day,
which is fortunately ours. 1t means an in
crease of hundreds in the total vote, and by
time-houored tradition that is favorable to the
Republicans, who were early astir. In the
Fourth ward they fairly caught their opponents
mapping, turning out 20s to l42 and electipg
two OF the three judges. The same move
was effected in the Seventh. Voting was
active for an hour or two after the polls were
opened, and it was significant that, all over
the city, many Democrats came to the polls
with ballots ready prepared and carefully
folded, ready to be deposited. The Republi-
cans are voting the straight, open ticket,
with few dishonorable executions here and
there. and this is as true of the colored as of
white Republicans. There are large crowds
at all the polling places-as large as often
seen at general election-and many Of the
most substantial citizens are among those
holding tickets. The men from several of the
shops are designated by SATIN badges with
the Republican ticket printed thereon. each
shop choosing its distinctive color. There is
no lack of transportation fer aged or sick
voters, and both sides are working hard for
their candidates 1t is further significant
that Republican money is shaken under Dem
ocratic probosces and no takers, unless at
fearful odds on majority. The Democratic
city ticke, is printed with the space for So
licitor left blank and in one or two wards
there are no candidates thereon for ward OIL
GERS. In the Third, Dan. Kisssll's name ap-
pears for Council In the First. the Republi-
cans claim there is fair show for the election
of Morris Teehan their candidate for Council,
as many Democrats are supporting him. In the
Fourth, a circular is being used against
the Democratic candidate purporting to be
copy OF one issued to the employees in Thomas
l. Sons shop. His friends are indignant and
denouuce such . course. So far - can be
judged the $3.50, ,OeO market-house proposition
will have large majority in the Affirmative.
Most OF those voting it in the negative do SO
on the ground that they do not favor Market
square as the location, not because they do
not want the buildings.
There was lively rally at the Wigwam
Saturday evening, speeches being made by
W. N. Rocket, Squire Rightmyer and Others.
The place will be open tonight for reception
of election news, and arrangements have been
made for securing returns from all the wards
and precincts at the earliest possible moment.

THE TRIUMPH OF ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. Leo Braun's Removal to More Con-
venient Quarters.


venient Quarters.
After seventeen years of continuous and
successful business IN Springfield, Mr.. Leo
Braun, the popular jeweler, is to be csngratu-
lated on the fact that be has secured hand
scmer and more commodious quarters. He
has elegantly fitted up and taken possession of
the largest store-room in the Oldhan building,
No. IL East Main street. The extremely low
prices prevailing in the jewelry and
silver ware trade have given him advantages
in the purchase Of . complete and extensive
stock of new goods which will enable him to
sell at figures far below those formerly asked
for articles of this class. He has also had the
advantage OF selection from all the latest and
most tasteful designs. Mr.. Braun has so long
been known as one of the most reliable jew
elers of this part of the state, and has by gen.
tlemanly, courteous and honorable treatment
of bis customers, won 20 many sincere friends,
that bis present and well-earued success will
be heartily appreciated by all.
