WASHINGTON DOTS.

The political pot is boiling and candi.
dates for the several municipal Office,
are increasing. There are already two
tickets in the field viz, the one nou
mated Mt the citizens meeting held some
two weeks since, as follows: w. A.
Flynn. Mayor; Lucien Dupre, f. Van
billie, Max. Klaus and j. Ehriardt az
CounclImen the other styled the "La-
Dor ticket.' with c. J. Muller as Mayor,
Lee McNicoll, Thomas Quirk. D. Conk-
lin Jr., and Paul Lalanne as Council-
men From present Appearances the
white vote of the town is about equal
| divided between the two rival tickets,
and 70 looks as it our colored brothers
| would be called upon to decide as to
who should have the municipal honors
thrust upon them. Other candidates
are talked about, but it is probable
| there is nothing but wind in it, and the
real contest will be between the tickets
named.
The death OF our old and respected
citizen Achille Duprc, which took place
on Monday evening last, cast a gloom
over our community that cannot we'll lie
described. On the day of his funeral,
Tuesday, business in town was entirely
suspended, stores were closed, and our
citizens turned out en- masse, to pay the
last sad tribute Of respect TO their friend
and benefactor. 4 good man has gone,
and it will be many long day ere his
Bachus Taylor, well known polored
man died suddenly at F. NJ. srtslls
place on Monday. Reports of fot, play
were rife for time, but post mortens
examination discovered the fact that
his death was caused by apoplexy.
Ye scribe on taking in" yonr town on
Tuesday last was captured by a blush
ing widow, over whose head the SHOWS
ct threc-score winters had passed, and
who presented him boqnct of the ra-
rest flowers, nearly the size of a water |
bncket. Our susceptible heart was
touched, aud we como near willing on /
the spot, but stern dnty compelled as to /
bid adieu to fond hopes that for q mo-
ment filtered through our bemuddled |
brain. and VIC put out instanter for our
lonely sanctum.
B. /. Hardesty has opened up q snug
little grocery at his old stand on Main
street, and hopes by fair dealing to &C.
cure share of patronage.
Frank j. TRAY has also started gro
Gerry at Pucheu's old stand on Washing
ton street, where he will be glad to meet
his old friends and patrous.
"Biamark" has erected y "bll board
Dne hundred feet in length, facing his
hotel on Drjean street, and any shows
that now comes to town, can be we'll
shown up.
The debris Of the old bridge spanning
he Courtableau at the head of Bridge
street ls no uinanent to the beauty of
hat part of our embryo city, and should
)e removed at once.
The old Case brick building on
Main street has been RACED to the
ground. and the foundations for Mayor
'lnnsky's palace are being laid.
II. w. Clarke and family of Missis-
lppi a-e in town for a few days. We
understand that they will locate near
he Mount Hope Nurseries.
