Last Saturday at Fortobello bridge, War
wick, the ice on the river Avon suddenly
broke. Thousands Of skaters were on the ice
at the time and panic ensued when there
was general rush for the shore. Many
broke through and were drowned-over 20
bodies have been recovered. This has been
winter prolific in deaths by drowning,
Napoleon not having escaped her share. The
ice on the river now is not in ct condition
for skaters. yet the surface has been crowded
every day for week, and Notwithstanding
the ice is becoming rottener every day, peo-
pie will ieopardize life for several hours
pleasure. Last winter was the first in de-
cades that we escaped death by drowning
and it was due to total absence of ice.

TO VOTERS IN THIS CONTEST.

As the voters can plainly see, q great deal
of space is consumed in recording the votes
in this contest and much of this expense to
The GAZETTE is unnecessary to the main
purpose in hand, which is to vote and have
it recorded In view of this fact, The GA
zETTE is compelled to limit the space occu-
pied by voters.
In recording votes hereafter for Fort
Worth candidates already announced, not
more than seven lines or fifty words (exclu-
sive of date, address and signature), Will be
allowed to any one letter. Should new can
didates be announced more space viii be
allowed for fair presentation of such can
didates' claims and qualifications.
For out-of town candidates more space to
each letter will be allowed, as not so many
patches of votes are sent in for these as for
town candidates.
Matter written on both sides of the paper
will not be published, but notice will be
made of such letter. THE GAZETTE has no
time to copy letters for the printer since
the voting has become so heavy.
In all letters be sure 10 mention the name
of the candidate and the number OF UOtcs in
closed. THE GAZETTE understands the
''nick-names" given by the friends of the
candidates to their favorites, but the COM
Tlittee may question the right of THE GA
zETTE to be guided by these popular names.
The ballots are all recounted by The GA
ZETTE anu AZ uliSldhGS COFTtCleu Ii tlc
official tally sheet. One gentleman voted
seventy-twO ballots and inclOsed only thirty
coupons, the other forty-two being mere
slips of paper, he having cut through other
shec than the one containing the coupon.
sometimes the vote is one or more coupons
over or under the claim made in the letter.
The exact number of coupons in the eIye-
lope go down on the tally sheet.
AilusiOns to other candidates, direct or
indirect, will be eXpunged from all letters,
and no criticisms or comments will be al
lowed.
An observance of the above will greatly
facilitate the onerous work of supervision
and record, and voters can still further
facilitate the work by writing the name of
the candidate and the number of votes in-
closed on the envelope and by beginning
their letters not less than one inch from the
top of the page.
