DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

one of the most interesting political
meetings held this campaign. Hon.
Enoch Knight and Hon. John Shirley
Ward will deliver the addresses of the
evening. Beside these gentlemen a
number of the county candidates will
be present and make short speeches. A
general invitation is extended to all.

MORE BURGLARS.
An attempt was made last evening, by
burglars, to enter Mrs. MitchelPs house
on Grand avenue. The residence is
new one, and has recently been fitted up
with burglar alarm system, which was
in working order, and frightened the
would-be house breakers off. 1t would
seem from the number of attempts to
less successful, in the past few months,
that an organized agency of this stripe
has taken up a permanent residence
with us. The police have sharp eye
out for the offenders. In the meantime
it will be wise for our householders to
keep their doors locked.
