EAST DORSET

Three pairs Of crackers, two loaded
with hay and one with lumber were
lately seen scraping the bare road from
the direction of Boston. But no run
ners have yet been abroad here. The
winter thus far is much like that of two
years ago.
Pastor Forbes and family of the
Union church left for their new field of
labor at Temple, N. H. on Wednes-
day. Mr.. Forbes has labored here
about two years and his done his best
to make us better. But the seed sown
has fallen among "hard heads"
Geo. H. Reed has bought the stand
ing spruce and hemlock timber on the
Jacobs and Landon's lots short dis
lance east of our village. Considera-
ton, $3.50.
A young lad arrived here one Satur-
day evening Of late with plenty of cash
and good clothes and apparently happy,
but before the next morning several
claimants from "Michigan" in Peru
came also and forced the youngster to
give up his stealings. Too bad to nip
blossom in the bud which might prob
ably develop into president of some
Maverick Bank or a cashier or county
treasurer
Mrs. Stephen Colvin has just been
granted s444 back pay, continued
pension of $12 month and 50 per
month for each of her two minor chill
dren. We think John Fisher, Post
Adjutant of Fuller Post was her at
torney. He is proving himself quite a
success in that line.
Christmas has come and gone since
our last, very little wetness or fool
ishness was noticed, but the old
homes were never more full of sun
shine. Everybody was here and wear
ing smile in addition to his goodly
apparel.
Some of our teachers have been
bothered not d little to obtain certifi-
Gates. 1t is mighty convenient to go
to Bennington ''some Saturday" for
a private examination. Is it any
wonder that ''teacher's wages is
high ?" But since the school law of
1888 took effect there has been no
man in Bennington county but Ben
nington man and no town in the
county but Bennington.
The newspapers of next year can
hardly fail to be brimful of interest
and amusement and it will be a poor
place to begin to economize with
them. Those disposed to sing, II
would hot live always" shouldn't
pitch the tune till after the first Tues
day in November. Mr.. Harrison
will be a presidential candidate of
course-he is too bright and good a
man to let go of a good thing easy,
especially when he knows it is best
for the whole country to stick. Mr..
Blaine, also if healthy and Belva
Lockwood any how, sick or well, dec
volente, dec non uolente. The democ-
racy will have a jupiter salvador in the
field and there may be others. Poll
tics will be at White heat, fun will
be rich and abundant and nobody
should allow the ''brittle thread" to
snap till it is known which side up
are the Argus roosters. The SITTER
will be in it. Subscribe now. Ed

WHERE THE COMMlTTEF2

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: Some
time ago committee Of three was APP
pointed by the fire board to consider
the advisability of procuring new on
gine for the Friendship Fire Company.
Can you, in your all-seeing wisdom, in
form us what has become of this com
mittee?
To us it appears to be wrapped in
slumber or lapsed into "innoc lous de.
suctude."
1t has given no signs OF life, and could
we but find the corpse, we would assure
it Christian burial.
In all seriousness, we think this com.
mittee should come together and per.
form the work for which it was ap
pointed. The last disastrous Gre in ouI
locality has naturally made us anxious
for better protection and we desire tC
be placed on al equal footing with the
rest of the city.

mit.ee and convey to 1t our complain

The remarkable increase in registra-
tion as summed mp aud tabulated else.
where in The TIMES will be re celye6
by good citizens of Roanoke as a most
gratifying evidence of the astonishing
growth OF the city. 1t shows beyond
question that there are over 5000 male
adults In Roanoke,
Both Republicans and Democrats
claim that on each side several hundred
citizens are still unregistered, and to
numerous residents who have not yet
been in the State long enough to acquire
citizenship.
From political standpoint there are
several interesting points developed.
The colored vote has increased from
less than "a per cent. of the total vote
in May to over % per cent now. This
does not indicate an increase in popula.
tion but merely a more thorough regis
tration.
Though the total registration was
1881 in May last, but AISLE votes were
cast in the spring election for mayor, OF
which Henry S. Trout received 2,194
and George Q Houston 1884, Mr..
Trout received some colored votes, but
Mr. Houston also received some white
Democratic votes. 30 the vote as cast
may be considered as divided strictly by
party lines.
If the white aud colored vote foil of
in proportion from tho registration
there werc $50 colored and 2,676 white
votes cast. 1t is safe assumption,
then, that of the Republican vote OF
1884 then cast 445 were by white Re-
publicans. In other words slightly
over one third OF the Republican vote is
white
Garry this into the November cleo.
ton, consider the colored vote solidly
Republican. as it undoubtedly is, a nd
conoede one white Republican vote for
every two colored votes and you will
have s55 white and LILO colored sup
porters of Harrison and Reid total OF
2.585.
This will leave $40 Democratic ma.
jority, rot a bad showing consideri ng
the intensity OF the fight. The Repub
lioans, however, claim abb ity to cut the
Democrats down to about 500.
The analysis by wards shows the
Third ward to be overwhelmingly Re-
publican; the Fifth ward to be debat-
able ground. though probably Republic
can, and the First, Second and Fourth
to be safely Democratic.

best cowboys in the territory, being fore
man for ID. L. Beals, the gentleman who
recently gained so much notorietY on &C.
count of the kidnapping of his child at
Kansas City. When Charlie heard of the
loss sustained by his old boss, he dropped
/ everything he had on hand and took up
the case. and it was through his efforts
that the identity of the man III the case
became known.
Mr.. Siringo was one of the bravest cow

1880 a band of Mexican horse thieves made
"A raid into the territory, and stole twenty
or thirty head of horses from the Beals
ranch. He Immediately saddled his horse
and followed the thieves. and uotwith-
standing he had four desperate men to
contend with, he gave them running
fight in Lincoln county, \. NJ, and capt
ured every one OF the horses
1t is said that he was the only man on
the range that Henry Brown, the famous
outlaw who was hung az Medicine Lodge
for killing Payne and Gebhart. was afraid
of and it was even stated that when Chlr-
lie raised his finger Brown would always
keep silent.

SOMETHING EXPLODED.

This morning shortly after 70 o'clock a
very loud explosion took place. which was
accompanied by a luminous flash of light
somewhere apparently in the neighbour
hood of the postofiice, for the light illuiR-
med the third story the the EAGLE build
ing. The matter was investigated ana it
could not be ascertained where the explo-
sion occurred or what was the cause of it.
The noise created seemed as if keg of
powder exploded and the conclusion shook
the windows OF the EAGLE building and
also the windows of fuckers restaurant
The matter will probably be explained
this morning. Several people heard the
explosion and saw the flash, but the whole
thing was done 50 quickly and unexpect-
edly that no one could locate it.

A FIGHT OVER CHICKENS.


Mr. and Mrs. Louie Lumpl were before
his honor, Justice Jones, yesterday,
charged with assaulting and battering a
man named Canushe. The circumstances
are as follows, In substance: Both Canushe
and the Lumpls are dealers in poultry
and consequently are commercial rivals.
Day before yesterday load of chickens
came into town and the rivals made a bid
on them in due form and at the same time
each claimed the chickens without respect
TO the feelings of the owner of them y
war of words followed and from words
they went into blows and from blows they
began pelting rocks at one another The
Lampl forces being two while the Canushe
forces was only one, the latter was out
numbered in the amount of rocks that
flew through the air and was the victim
of several we'll aimed missiles. Iu the
meantime all the chickens got out of the
wagon and fed while the war was in pro-
gress and their owner had terrible time
trying to recover them. The case against
Mr.. and Mrs. Lumpl was continued till
County Attorney Morris will have time
to represent the state in the matter,
