Judge Bernard yesterday refused to
grant an injunction restraining the Odd
Fellows from the further erection of their
new building onSycamore street. upon the
foundation of which work has been pro-
crossing for some days. Originally pro-
test was served upon the Board of Trustees
Of the 0dd-Fellows' Association against
building too close 10 aud shutting of the
lights Of the adjacent property, belonging
TO the estate Of the late George w. Boiling.
This was answered by legal notice that
the foundation walls of the Boiling pro-
perty extended upon the land purchased
blythe Odd-fellows, and that il such IN
fringement were not removed within o
reasonable time the Odd-fellows would
proceed TO have it removed.
The matter seems to have been finally
settled by the action of Judge Bernard in
refusing to grant the Injunction as above
asked for.

test An interesting fact of the election
was the casting of large number OF bal

Whether or not these ballots are valid will

majority will be largely over 5000.
