The Election In Tennessee.

C.B. Cooper, Persistent of the Ma
tional Sheet Metal Roofing company,
aweIl known single tax has just return
ed from business visit to Tennessee,
ard he happened to be there during
the elections. Mr.. Cooper says that
the new ballot law works admirably,
al Il has unquestionably done much
to purify election. He further says
that the Democratic success is in a
measure due to the new law requiring
eat h voter to have paid poll-tax
Mr., Cooper says there is no doubt
that the primary cause of the over
whelming Democratic victory which
swept every Republican out of office
and there were number of Republi
cans in ofIice-was the universal con
domination OF the force bill.--Henr.

A rusty musket and silver watch
that appeared to have been resting on
the bottom OF the Merrimac river,
near Lawrence, Mass, for a century
or two were found by Charles Black
we'll last Friday. Half OF the musket
barrel is eaten up by rust, but the
thick breech remains. There is a cut
nearly an inch deep on one side, made
by narrow Ratchet or wide chisel,
which was driven into the walnut
stock to that depth by a single blow,
the splintered wood showing its force.
Beside the musket lay large silver
watch, to which was attached a long,
heavy chain, both ends of which are
fastned in the ring, but some twelve
inches OF the fastening OF one end the
cnain had been cut nearly in two.
On the face of the watch under the
bands, in small letters, is printed

You'd doubt that the Gaynor people had
not fulfilled their contract with b u
ell and that their system ms put In here
was imperfect, unreliable and expensive.
Nevertheless the members Of the council
who championcd the cause OF the Gaynor
system are determined to cling
"a their error. The agent OF the
Gaynor had , come before b
council and offered To put in an abso-
lutcly mountaineering system, but a
broken his promise, and now certain
members of the council desire TO endorse
HIM for doing SO. Alderman Monteath
said the council should do the city's bust
ness like business men. The aldermen
should have dignity enough to refuse 10
be duped or bulldozed by any agent.
During the progress Of the discussion
some one In the rear of the hall fired two
shots and the cry of 'hrc" was raised.
The crowd began rushing put when Alder
man Tewey moved adjournment. The
motion was carried when il vas discov-
cred that a false alarm had been given.
Some excited persons claimed il was a
scheme on the part Of the Gamewell peo-
Pile TO break up the meeting. Long after
the council adjourned excited citizens re-
manned discussing the claims of the rival
companies. lndiscriminate charges OF
boodling and trickery were made II for
a time il looked as IL a free fight would
result,
