House Burnt.

John Bedwell, residing on what is
called the Joe Cavender farm" some
Two miles from Clayton, had the mis-
fortune to be burnt out on SATURDAY.
evening. He had been in to the Dem.
ocratlc meeting in this town on Sat-
urday afternoon, going home to feed
MS stock, get his supper and return in
the evening. He left what he Thought
low fire in the stove, his wife accom-
Pahylng him to Clayton on the way,
leaVlng no one at home. About eight
O'Clock his dwelling was discovered to
be in light blaze by his neighbors.
ana a messenger was sent for him, call
ing MIN out of meeting being address
sed by Senator Gray. 1t was a clean
sweep-nothing being saved except the
clothes he and his wife had on. He
thinks the fire originated from defect
IN the chimney rather than from the
stove. Mr. Bedwell had an insurance
OF 500 on his household goods and
stock, effected only some three months
since.
The farm seems to be in state of
disputed ownership. and until this is
settled, 1t Is not known on whom the
loss OF the house falls J. w. Everich,
who was the owner after Mr.. Cavender
left it, traded it the past summer, with
Mr. Stockwell, of Philadelphia, at
valuation of $4,000 for city property.
subsequently the new owner threw it
up and the question as to real ownership
IS one puzzling the tenant and every
one concerned. Mr.. Everich, the for
mer owner, has since sold or traded
Bay View, and gone to Atlantic City to
live. The sum of $50, due the owner
from the tomato crop, and which Mr..
Bedwell was holding for the rghtful
claimant, was also destroyed with the
other contents of the house. The loss
on the personal was adjusted to day by
the North British and Mercantile |
Company, +. II. Beck, Agent.

The election Yesterday brought a

litical workers, who could not stop in
the face of the work ahead of them
until the polls closed. 1t will also re-
lieve the tension that bound partisans
together and made separating lines
while it was on, in every day associa-
ton and sometimes in families. II will
be happy relief to have society set
tied down again to its normal condi-
ton. With a large number of men
and women who are intensely parti.
zan there is little more purpose in it
than they would manifest for a game
of baseball or football-thev simplv

possible to utterly obliterate old asso-
Citations and start everyone out anew

ests of the cOnntry''-a large number

THERE is little room for doubt that
there exists larger amount of availa.
bic wheat in the United States and
Canada to-day than at any preceding
time in our history. The stock Satur-
day last, says Bradstreet's, was ST.
SS9,OS5 bushels, or 24,O61,7 more
bushels than on November /, 1891.
The absence of an active foreign de-
mand is to some extent, it is presumed,
the cause of this glut and its conse-
quent reduction of prices.

MONDAY night ended political
campaign in some respects without a
parallel in the history of the country.
Never, perhaps, has a contest of the
kind been more temperately conduc-
ted or been more free from personal
abuse and invective and from the ran
cor and bitterness always engendered
by assaults upon personal character,
the "mud-slinging," as it is not inap-
propriately termed, that has too often
disgraced previous contests. Rarely.
if ever, has an election day been
shrOuded in more doubt than was YES
terday, largely from the fact that so
many States for the first time cast
their votes on the secret ballot method.
