There was good deal of political work

follows: Eleventh ward, 116 Saltonstall
avenue; Twelfth ward, corner of Pine and
Poplar streets, Thomas F. Keane chair
man; Fourteenth ward at the building of
J. N. Rowe, Townsend avenue, J. B. Had
ley chairman. These primaries promise
to be exceedingly interesting in the Elev-
enth and Twelfth wards and big demo-
cratic vote will be brought out. The
principal fight in the Twelfth is over the
alderman John Nolan is pitted against
Patrick Doyle. Nolon Representative opposi-
Is ii a. 1ok 4 ha
ward SO long and his friends are just
hustling in his behalf and predict victory
The Doyle ticket is said to be about equal
ly divided between Dunn and Clarity for
town agent, and the Nolan ticket Is for
Clarity. In the Eleventh, citizens
democratic ticket is being prepared in
favor of Mr.. Sargent for mayor. Of the
citizens club James Checking is president
and John Sullivan secretary. This ticket
also favors Henry J. Wilson for alderman.
He is foreman at the Bigelow shop. Al
derman Callahan and Patrick WEIGH will
make up Driscon ticket. It is reported
that Bernard McManus and Michea1 Sanlon
are engineering third ticket in favor of
Mr.. Driscol. It promises to be pretty
warm fight.
In the prohibition ticket nominated
Saturday evening Fair Haven was well
represented. The Eleventh is the banner
ward for the party and it is all right that
Fair Haven should carry off the bulk of
the nominations. The Fair Haven repre-
sentation and the ticket is as follows:

Ferry street; city treasurer, George R.
Fred s. Moody, Grand avenue; collector

In the Fair Haven oyster shops there are
numerous specimens illustrating the to-
nacious powers of oyster fry in holding on
to home where the young oysters may
grow and thrive. 1t matters not what the
substance is so long as it is firm. Oyster
shells and gravel are thrown overheard for
the use of the young oyster, but they will
impress into service old ship iron, tin
pans, gas pipe, rubber or leather shoes
and even pieces of sunken wood. The
crew of the oyster dredger Mikado dredg
ing on the beds owned by Jeremiah Smith
& Sons, near Black Rock, one of the dredg
ers brought up something which at first
sight looked like lfeless sea serpent Gov
cred with immense scales, but on examine
ton it turned out to be a strip of hose,
seven feet long and three inches in di-
ameter, completely hidden by the bivalves
which had become fastened to it. By &C.
tual count there we're over one thousand
oysters on that piece of hose.
Thio xuaalr tho ouctar ahinnara will ha
very busy opening oysters and shipping
for the Thanksgiving trade. One dealer
has advertised for twenty-five oyster open
ers, with steady work all winter.
The three masted schooner Bessie G.
Beach, that was recently damaged down
east, is one of the fleet built by II. II.
Hanscom nearly ten years ago. She was
of about the same class as the Charles L.
Mitchell and John H. Tingue. These YES
sells have been very fortunate, none of
them having been lost. The Beach, which
recently went ashore at Tarpaulin Cove
and afterwards towed to New Bedford for
repairs, has been launched from the Marine
railway at Fairhaven, Mass. She will re-
load her cargo of paving blocks and pro-
coed to Philadelphia
Mrs Ann Toole, mother of ex-Police-
man John Toole and Contractor James
Toole of Mallory & Co., died Friday at hel
home, 316 Blatchley avenue, aged sixty
three years.
The funeral of the late Dana A. Bradley
was largely attended at his home at the
Four Corners yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Bradley was struck at the Blatchley ave-
nue. railroad crossing by an engine on the
Shore Line road ten days ago. At first il
was thought that his injuries were moi
dangerous, but his age was against him
and he gradually failed until death came
1t is to be hoped that these crossings will
be bridged before there is further sacri
fee of life.
