talked of as probabilities on the Republi-
can ticket for the Town Council, a few. as
the NEWS then stated would be the case,
have signihed their intention to hold
aloof from the race Nathan w. Wright,
at present superintendent of schools in
Johnston, will not run, owing to business
pressure. James N. Congdon OF Merino
Charles Adams OF Manton and benjamin
Lester are positively not candidates for
the Conncil.
John X. Bowen will be the nominee for
reelection as president OF that body, and
there Is little doubt AS TO the result
against William Calwell the Democratic
candidate for that Office.
Regarding the town sergeant it Ia said
there are a number of dark horses I'm the
field, who will loom up presently. Martin
Mann will most likely be a candidate, as
he is well known, strong. and would be
supported by the better element of the
two parties.
The only objection to him is the fact
that he ran on the Independent ticket last
election, which might have tendency to
queer" him this year, the leaders OF
both sides are somewhat averse to put
ting him up in consequence. Nevertheless
he will probably be nominated, and if so,
will be the strongest possible competitor
against all rivals.
Sergt. Holbrook has expressed his will
ingness to accept renomination.- and
will be in the race this election. Thus the
political pot beginneth to boil
A Sad Misfortune.
Mrs. Emma Springer last Thursday
night, became suddenly violently insane
while at her home on the cornor OF Labon
and Webster streets In Johnston. The
lady has been for the past year, broodiDg
over the loss of her husband aud is
thought that the constant strain has in
capactated her mentally. She became SO
violent that 1t was necessary to remove
her to the state institution for the insane.
1t is, however, considered only a tempo
rary attack and will necessitate her re-
tention but a short time. Mrs. Springer
is prominently connected with the q. A.
X. in a lady's capacity.
