Johnston Election.

The Council chamber in odd Fellows
Hall, was far from crowded at 10 o'clock
Tuesday when Moderator w. A . Phillips
called the town meeting TO order and
read the warrant for the national election,
also the town warrant for abolishing the
present highway commissioner system.
The voting then began and proceeded
qu etly until 3 o'clock, when the polls
were declared closed and the ballots
counted. The count showed that very
large vote had been polled, Of which
Harrison received SAB, Cleveland 379,
Fisk 30. For Congressman, Arnold $40
Baker 81, Greene 2S. On the highway
question the vote TO abolish the present
system was l6l, TO retain it 745. There
was no excitement noticeable and very
few heated discussions, but the aggregate
vote Of $50 out Of about 100 in the town
shows that the people took great
interest in the issues before them. The
attempt TO abolish the present highway
system was "sat on with merited en-
phasis. The prohibition vote was sur
prisingly small, az st, John received over
80 votes four years ago.

A PASSENGERS STORY.
He Tells of His Trip Across the
Continent.


Yesterday morning the HERALD's
representative interviewed an excur-
sionist who arrived from the East via
the Santa Fe, and asked what delayed
his train so much, said he: "We
were about three days late when we
got here this morning and the cause
of the delay was the heavy snow
which drifted on the tracks at differ
ent places to depth of some nine or
ten feet. We were on time when we
reached Las Vegas, N. NJ, but after
leaving there we got into trouble. At
Winslow, Arizona, we were delayed
all day, with snow six or seven feet
deep, and there the train met with
peculiar accident. There were two
engines in front and two. behind and
about twenty coaches between them.
We were just leaving Winslow when
we felt bump and knew something
had happened.
A broken rail had been struck, the
front engines passed all right, except
the tender of the second one, it, and
all the coaches, besides the two en-
gines on behind, went off the track,
but did no damage. This caused de-
lay of the entire night. At Flagstaff,
Arizona, we had more snow trouble,
and, in fact, we had trouble all along,
the train stopped at every station.
1t was fearfully cold, and we suffered
intensely, some of us being nearly
frozen. If it hadn't been for the snow
j suppose we would have arrived on
time"
