TROUBLE AT vACAvILLE.
Illegal Ballots Provided for the Voters
and Other Irrepularities

anu oeASi
VAcsvILLE, January 3d.-A vote is being
taken here to-day on the question of town
incorporation, and although the election
is called under the general laws of the
State, all the forms required have been cast
aside and it partakes more of the nature of
farce than aught else.
The polls were not opened till 9:2O, and
the ballots, which were printed by an
amateur printer, are clearly illegal, being
only six inches long instead of the statutory
twelve, and those bearing the words
Against Incorporation" are printed in the
wrong type and without any regard to the
requirements.
Grave doubts are expressed also by legal
men here as to the validity of the call of
election, and in the event of incorporation
being carried considerable litigation will
ensue. The probabilities are that it will
be defeated.
INCORPORATION CARRIED.
VAcAvILLE, January 3d.-A count of the
ballots tonight showed that incorporation
had been carried by a majority of only
twelve votes. Protests will be entered
against the election on the ground of ille-
gality.

man who was talking with a New York
Tribune reporter, ''and l tell you that ey

course, on account of the reports of the
failure Of the apple crop. 1t seems to me
a dead certainty, too. Talk about the fail

Maryland; why, it's nothing at all to the
gloom that fills all my being at the pros.
pect of no apples. l have not travelled all
over the country, to be sure, this summer,
but as far as l have gone, tell you, apples
are few and long distance apart. 1t is a
curious thing, too, that there was the
promise of an abundant yield last spring.
Rarely have the apple trees been more
richly filled with blossoms. They were
like immense bouquets, and prettier sight
than an orchard filed with such bouquets
it would be hard to imagine. They fairly
made my mouth water in anticipation of
the luscious fruit that seemed certain to
follow. but the melancholy days have
come, the saddest of the year'-the DAYS
which bring the tidings from near and far
that there are to be no apples, or, at least,
not many.

April or May-it is my regular practice to-
eat from fifteen 10 twenty apples day. /

eat anything. They form the first part of
my breakfast and the FIRST part of my other
meals, and l find there is nothing better to
20 to bed on than three or four apples.
Consequently when face an appleless
future-or one comparativ sly without this
fruit of fruits-you canN wonder if it seems
to me that life is less worth living than it
would otherwise be.
Il once told my family physician what
nv habit in regard to consuming apples
was. He opened his eyes a little wider
than usual and with queer smile re-
marked:
"swhy, you must be irregular cider MILL
'iThat was all he had to say. Whether
he gave unqualified approval to my habit
was left in doubt, but he said nothing to
show that he disapproved it. Perhaps it
panied him to think that if ate fewer APP

THE NAVAL ENLISTMENT.

The Quota is Full, Yet War Ships Cannot
Fiji Their Compliments.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-[Special]-
Orders have been sent to the various re-
ceiving ships of the navy to discontinue
all enlistments for the present. This
is because the legal limit of $3.50 men
and boys has been nearly reached. In
order to make more room it was decided
to discharge number of men whose
terms of enlistme mt had nearly expired.
Tho crew of the Galena, about fifty men,
were to have been discharged upon
the arrival of the ship at Portsmouth,
but it is probable that they will be re-
tanned now until the end of their term,
as they have lost all their clothing in
the wreck.
If there should be no relief afforded
by legislation during the next Congress
it will be impossible to properly man
the vessels that have been ordered to
participate in the naval review in 1893
in connection with the Worlds Fair.
1t is now impossible to give the vessels
in commission their full compliments
of mon. The new cruiser Newark is
about 1C0 men short and there is
scarcely vessel in the navy with its
full complement of men,
