Railroads.

Gov. r. A. Alger says that the De-
troit, Bay City & Alpena Railway
will be graded as far north as Black
River by the 18th inst, and that it is
expected the rails will be laid to that
point and trains running regularly
therefrom by the 1st of December.
Black River is twenty-four miles south
of Alpena, and one train day each
way will be run. The stage will leave
Alpena at 7 o'clock in the morning
and the twenty-four miles of staging
will be done in three hours, thus
catching the train south. 1t must be
a decidedly comfortable thought for
the people of Alpena to know that
they will not be absolutely snow and
ice-bound the coming winter.-Free
Press.
Superintendent German reports
that about IA miles of the grading
on the Black River extension has
been completed entire and that gangs
of men are strung along at short dis
lance. 1t is expected to finish the
grading by the Goth inst, and that
the track will be laid and ballasted
by Christmas the entire distance.
About five miles of track has already
been laid, or will be by to-night.-Os-
coda Monitor.
The steam barge Manistique arriv-
ed last Saturday night at Tawas with
the steel fer the extension of the rail-
road, and the work of track-laying
has proceeded this week. The track
is now finished as far as Van Ettan
Creek. The Van Ettan Creek bridge
will be finished by Wednesday next
possibly sooner.-Oscoda Saturday
Night.

In no county in the State with
like population and comparatively
short time in which it has been
settling, can more or better district
schools and school houses be found
than in our county. These, with
other advantages, both natural and
artificial, that might be mentioned,
render it almost certain that the day
is not distant when Presque Isle shall
be classed among the first counties of
the State.

Chinese Troubles.

From the New York sun.
The expulsion of the Chinese from
Tacoma, in Washington Territory, on
the 3rd, by the combined action Of
citizens, is very striking incident in
the anti-Chinese crusade.
Undoubtedly the serious element
in the anti-Chinese crusade is its ex-
tent. In Wyoming its demonstra-
tons have been made not only at
Rock Springs, but at Evanston, Almy
and Green River, while at Cheyenne
the Chinese have been notified to quit
the town. Puget Sound is the scene
of like intimidations. In Squak
Valley the Chinese hop pickers were
attacked some weeks ago and two of
them killed, while others have been
badly beaten. One of the seven men
indicted for killing the Chinaman was
acquitted and like verdict is ex-
pected in the other six cases. At
the Coal Creek mines, twenty miles
from Seattle, the lodging houses of
the Cinnamon were burned and their
inmates driven into the woods. At
the Newcastle mines a masked mob
expelled the Chinese. Meetings in
Washington Territory have asked
committees everywhere to notify the
Chinese to move away from the re-
gion at fixed date. In Butte, Mon
tana, the policy of driving out the
Cinnamon has been resorted to, and
at Anaconda they have been driven
out. At several important points in
California, including San Francisco,
action has been begun against the
Chinese. In Los Angeles county
vineyard serious trouble occurred be-
tween white and Chinese laborers.

Elections.

The November elections resulted
very agreeably to Democrats. We
have not yet received the official
figures, but it appears certain that
the Democrats have about 1000 ma
jority for Governor, in the State of
New York, and have also carried
Virginia by about 10000. The Re-
publicans carry Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania, and have a majority of
the New York legislature. In De-
troit the Democrats elected their city
ticket.

excess Of last years appropriation, to the
amount Of two thousand six hundred and
sixty-eight and ninety-one hundreds dollars
($2,66S9I, we therefore recommend that
your honorable body appropriate for the
year 1885, for poor fund, the sum OF seven
thousand dollars $4,000, making four
thousand three hundred and thirty-one and
nine hundredths dollars available for the
year, after paying the amount overdrawn
last year. We find that county physician
has been employed for the year 1885 at a
salary of four hundred and eighty dollars
per annum, notwithstanding bids were re-
ceived from three different physicians at a
much lower salary, and physicians whom
we consider the best in our city, and we
would most respectfully ask the POOR COM
missioners to explain TO the Board Of Su-
pervisors why the contract was awarded TO
county physician at $3.50 when lower bids
from responsible physicians had been re-
ceived.
We have also visited county poor house
and poor farm, and on examination ofthe
same find both kept in fair condition.
We find from report of superintendent
Of the poor an inventory of the crops and
stock now on farm, and said report being
hereto attached and made part Of this re-
port and which we recommend 10 spread

HANDS UP.
The County officers Take the Oaths
Of Office.
Public Affairs now Managed by the
New Administration.

The new county officials were sworn in
yesterday. The old board Of County
Commissioners met, but Thos. Swan who
was sick, was not present. Commissioners
Kelly and Whipple were sworn in and
considered the bonds of the other officials
as they were presented.
Sheriff Sharpless turned over the prop
erty and documents Of the Sheriff Office
to Sheriff Craig, and after the Jail had
been inspected the keys were surrendered
to Mr.. Craig. Mr.. Joseph McGonigle
qualified as Deputy Sheriff, and the new
administration of that office began.
Workmen were busy papering the herifFs
quarters at the rear Of the Court House,
and as soon as the repairs are finished
Sheriff Craig will occupy the rooms.
Sheriff Sharpless has moved to his ranch
two miles west Of the city. During his
two terms as Sheriff he has been a courte-
Gus, conscientious and honorable official.
He retires with the personal respect and
esteem of the people. Deputy Sheriff
Hosford, who for four years has been the
Deputy Sheriff, has been a successful Of
fcer and will be missed from the Court
House. He has not announced his in
tentions as to his future business. Yes
terday there were only eight prisoners in
the jail but several will be added to-day,
two having been sent up by Justice
Fisher. while the man Hoffman will prob
ably be taken to the Jail to-day.
County Clerk j. K. Jeffrey, County
Treasurer Isaac Bergman, Assessor w.
w. Jeffrey, the Justices Of the Peace and
Constable Smalley presented their bonds
and were sworn in. County Attorney
Il. w. Mann assumed the duties of his
official position. His office will remain in
the Commercial block. Dr.. W. A.
Wyman, as Superintendent of Schools,
Mr.. II. w. Moore, as Coroner and Mr..
James A. Whitney as Constable rendered
their bonds and took tho oath of their
respective offices.
The most noticeable changes are in the
Sheriff. office, in the board of County
Commissioners and in the Office of County
Attorney. The new officers will soon
become accustomed to their new places,
however, and the affairs of the county will
probably go on with their usual placidity,
although it is possible hat the new Board
of Commissioners may introduce some
innovations.
The meeting Of the County Commits
sioners yesterday wal devoted in the main
to passing upon the bonds of the various
officers. The county printing wa award
ed to the SIN and the board adjourned.
