Roadmaster Elder has brother in or
about Granada who in his zeal for the
election Of Elder Is making some wild
statementa One il that the delinquent
tax list that was given to the Sparks
aud paid for, will have to be paid over
again and will cost the county thousands
of dollars. That his brother voted against
paying the Sparks, etc. 1t is q matter
of record that he and Pettee allowed the
bill agsint the protest Of Commissioner
Martin, the only Republican on the
hoard. That it will cost the county a
great deal OF money before it is settled is
an unquestioned fact, and we do not
wonder that Elder would like to have
the people think that he opposed paying
the Sparks for it.

A call was published this week by GER
tain unknown parties in which it was
asserted that Augean stables were about
to be erected in this town. We are glad
to hear this, and hope the Board of Trade
will take hold of the matter and push it
vigorously. Times are dull now and a
new enterprise Of this kind starting up
in our midst will liven things up some
what, and renew confidence in the future
of this section. By all means let's raise
any amount that may be required and
have these stables or bust We guar
antee that no river can be found to be

iectors can rest secure from the only
danger that ever destroyed one of these

The Sparks article from Elders broth
or printed this week is great campaign
document and shows the desperate
straits Mr.. Elder and the Democrats are
in. 1t will make Mr.. Priddy many votes
and we hope he will write letter every
week from now on to election. Coming
from such a source it needs no denial
and Mr.. Priddy can well afford, and We
hope he will ignore it entirely. II he is
guilty of any one Of these charges he GER
tainly ought to be in the penitentiary,
and Mr.. Elder would very quickly re-
moue him from his path. As a county
official and executor Of the law, if has
lived close neighbor to Mr.. Priddy and
allowed him to go unpunished for all
these crimes, he certainly is no fit man
to hold an important Office. Mr.. Priddy
is too well known and his integrity too
well established among our people to be
injured by such charges, from such a
source. The Sparks well illustrates its
desperate efforts to elect Mr.. Elder as a
reward for the county patronage, and the
free gift of S4O0 Of the county's funds,
when it allows space in its columns for
such an article from such q source.

The communication in the Sparks over
the signature Of Mr.. A. R Elder, which
we regret lack OF time and space prevents
us from reprinting in full, is rather re-
markable campaign document. The
frantic way in which its author has been
rushing over the county of late; the rery
extravagaut statements he has made
coupled with the fact that he is the
brother Of our present distinguished
commissioner about to retire, will cause
the voters to regard his utterances with
considerable suspicion. OF course it is
possible that Mr.. Priddy has been utiliz,
ing the dark of the moon to gather in
second hand outhouses, and abandoned
fence posts, but it is matter of great
doubt. We will at least wait until we
hear from the gentleman himself. There
are men in all portions OF the county who
have know Mr.. Priddy as long as has Mr..
Elder, and they all unite in pronouncing
him an honest, honorable gentlemen, and
one who has been true to his party. He
received the unanimous support Of his
neighbors in the convention. and will get
their votes on the day of election. The
letter is no credit to the person who wrote
it, the paper that printed it, OF the can
didate that consented to its publication
1t simply shows to what desperate
Elder, the commissioner, and Mr.. Priddy
are residents Of not only the same pre-
cinct, but the same neighborhood. Their
families have been on friendly and init
mate terms for years. No one ever heard
either of the Elders say aught against
Mr.. Priddy until he appeard as a rival
for the position OF commissioner. In
striking contrast, and we want to call at
tention to it, has been the action of the
two men during the campaign. Mr.
Priddy has made quiet, honorable can
vass. No man has heard him speak even
slightingly OF Mr.. Elder. He stated early
in the canvass that he should do nothing
to disturb the pleasant relations that
heretofore existed between the two fam
lilies. He took the honorable, manly and
polite course, and has never deviated
from it. This letter should and will put
Mr.. Elder in contempt. He will Learn
when too late that he should have beer
saved from his fool friends and relations
He will also fully realize the truth OF the
old couplet,

 Vanderbilts-An Improvement in She
 Bank Statemens. NEW YORK. March 15
 The general temper of the stock market to-day has been builish, and although trading was dull after the usual custom of Saturdays market, prices were somewhat higher and firmly held up to the close of business. There was less disposition manifested to close out contracts with the end of the week than we have seen recently.
 The Vanderbilt stocks were notably active to-dsy at better prices, speculation being stimulated prot- ably by the favorable showing which the various companies made yesterday in their official reports Of earnings for the quarter Lake Shore, Michigan Central and Canada Southern were all from ss to 1k higher than they closed yesterday. There was some activity in Manhattan also at an advance. The stock sold up to 1O9.
 Louisville, Reading, Erie, Chicago Gas and Ten nessee Coal and Iron were also moderately active and from M to < higher. Reading bonds were strong and higher, There seems to be an impress sion tt at the pool in Reading means business and are going to make strong fight for Mir. Corbin when the suits are tried.
 The bank statement showed about as much inn provement since last week as was expected. II showed an increase of Sss0, ,450 in the surplus re- serve ana an incre8so or 9ols4UU ln logal tenoers end spscie. and decrease of s ,54e GOO in bonds The statement was as favorable tnere was reason to hope considering that the customs and revenue receipts at the sub-tseasury were $s,s4s, 900 fcl the week and the total collections at all the United States reasures for tho same period were reported from Washington at $s.l35,e12. The bond pur chases of 33274 .050 for the week just about ofse the treasury collections at New York.
 The announcement of the bank statement hat but very slight effect the stock market. It wal followed by small fractional advances in some lines while . few others were lower,

The German American Associati0n.
 The German American association held another meeting yesterday and reviewed with satisfaction the record tho association has made since its formation only a short time,sgo. The association, although young, has already fifty members, and it Is hoped that the number will be increased to one hundred in short time. President Weiss and Secretary Chris. Doerschuck have been uniting in their efforts to make the associa- ton successful one. It was formed some time ago and has ever since been running under favorable auspices. The members will have permanent quarters soon, which they have engaged in the old Masonic temple on the corner of Chapel and Union streets.
 The association Is at present making rigid preparations for their masquerade ball, which will take place at Turn hall on Monday even- ing, March 24 It is expected that delega- tions from the other associations all over the state will be present at this affair.

 The fire at about eight o'clock Saturday evening was in a barn near East street, north of Grand avenue and near the old Shore Line repair shops It was undoubtedly set on fire. The Aremen quickly extipguished the flames. Loss $25.
 A little before two in the morning smoke was discovered issuing from Clark's grocery store on Chapel street opposite the Elliott house. Mrs. Dickerman. wife of G. A. Dickerman, the florist, who resides on the floor above the store was awakened from her sleep by the suffocating odor, and aroused all the inmates of the house. Mr. Dickerman rushed over to the Elliott house to get the box key, but was met by Officer Oowles, who pulled the box. The front doors were broken in and stream of water poured in which had the effect of extinguishing the fire which had started near . pile of empty boxes in the rear of the store. The damage is slight, being chiefly caused by water. Considerable sus- picion was entertained by MT. Clark that this fire was also of incendiary origin. The fire msrshal yesterday made diligent enquiries regarding the case, but no definite clue was obtained

FIRST PRESBYTBRIAN CHURCH. Firss sermon by sho New Pastor Yes-
 yerdaY Morning.

Klrss Sermon by sho New Pastor Yes-
 serdav Morning.
 The members of the First Presby terian church listened yesterday morning to an able and earnest sermon by their new pastor, Rev. F. A. M. Brown, who was formerly pastor of the First Reformed church of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The pastors text was the 19th verse of Acts, 28th: "Whereupou, o king Agrippa, l was not disobsdient unto the heavenly vision."
 "The apostle Paul seemed to delight to re. peat the story of his conversion, Only g short time before his conversion Paul was willing to assist at putting men to death. We live in vast unseen realm; can see you, but cannot see your spiritual lives. God is willing to reveal himself through our spiritual life, as he revealed himself SO sud denly to Paul. How did God reveal himself to Noaha not by anything written, nor by any vision on the clouds, but by his spirit. God revealed himself in the same way to Jacob, Moses, Gideon. Abraham and others.
 This Is the agency that God employs. If we wish to receive Gods influence we should put ourselves in way to receive it. God does not often work in saloons. It has been stated that very few people came to Christ except through tho sanctuary. If we wish to receive Gods influence we must be expect ant, we must desire 1t. It is hazardous to think we do not need Gods revelation imme- diatsly. It has recently been plainly illus. trated that those persons who thought they were not very sick were in great danger. Death has frequently como suddenly after a very few days of indisposition, as we have recently observed to our sorrow. A person may say, if live as well as know how, God will take care of me and receive me at last. Yes; but you don't live as we'll as you know how, unless your life is guided by God. It is hazardous to think we are not very guilty as it will shape our conduct towards God. If we wish to have God reveal him. self to us we must be obedient to the heav- enly vision. This obedience is of the great eat importance, and 1t must be precise. We must carry out our prayers in our works and must combine our prayers. We have reason to believe that many prayers united will be availing, so lot us all work together like an army, and by our combined efforts we may expect to receive Gods influence and bless. ing.
 The pastor received a call from this church several weeks ago, but he was unable to accept the call until recently. It is evil dent from the first sermons of the pastor which were delivered yesterday, that the people have chosen the right man for the place. The new paator has @ slight resem. blance to Hon. Chauncey M. Depsw.
