---------aus-
The city of Jacksonville rejoices with
exceeding great joy. The supreme court
has quashed that quo warranto, and the
verdict of the citizens at the polls, in
favor of bonding the city to raise loan
of 100000 for much needed public
improvements, stands. This verdict was
rendered at an election held in October.
At that election the old fogfes who
wanted to continue Jacksonville as an
overgrown country town were com.
pletely showed under. This emphatic
expression of the will of the people in
terested should have settled the matter
without demur; but there were few, a
very few, indictments who, beaten out Of
sight at the polls, endeavored to block
the wheels of progress by raising a legal
bubble over the validity of the election
of the City Council which submitted
this question to popular vote. These
councilmen were elected under a sys-
tenn of election and registry laws similar
to, indeed almost identical with, the
registry and election laws of Delaware.
The obstructionists claimed that these
laws were unconstitutional, chiefly in
their imposition of requirement to
register-which requirement, they con.
tended, was in the nature of qualifica.
tion unknown to the constitution. A:
THE GAZETTE pointed out at the time
this objection, no matter how pertinent
it might be to the State elections, hat
no relevancy to a municipal election
for the very good reason that the officer.
of municipality are simply agents Of {
public corporation, and not public
officers within the contemplation of thu
constitution. The court appears to hav'
held this ground as sufficient, the opin
ion opening with the declaration tina
"section /, of article s, of the constitu
ton does not apply to municipal cleo
tons, consequently elections for munich
pal officers are regulated by the legisla
ture subject to other provisions of tn
State and Federal constitutions, if the,
impose restrictions" But the cour
did not stop there, but went on t
expound the constitutionaiity of tn
law in its general application. TIL
opinion is too voluminous for furthe
consideration here, but we note that tn
court said, among other things: 9Th
Legislature can prescribe an officia
ballot and prohibit the use of any otheI
and provide for the printing OF name
! of persons nominated by conventions
massmeetings or primary elections, o
: running as independents, but cannC
= restrict voters to the names placed o
, the ballots. They must be left free I
vote for whom they please, as guaran
tced by the constitution"

The Election Was the LiVeliest ON
Record and a Large Vote Was
PolIed-Yalesville Went No License
The Town Meeting Adjourned
Until Thursday Evening-Personal
Notes.
Yesterdays town election proved to be
the liveliest sone on record, and the total
number of votes cast was larger by several
hundred than was ever before csst at the
town election. Every available team in
town, besides two 'bussss from Meriden,
were pressed into service. and at an early
hour they were at work bringing in the
voters. and at noon it was evident that a
very heavy vote would be polled. At 8
O'Clock $50 votes had been cast in the first
voting district, and the returns from the
Yalesville district, in which the polls closed
at o'clock, showed chat 1853 votes had
bsen pollsd in the "ville," which gave a
majority of 70 in-favor of no license. J..
Walter Mix, the republican candidate for
second seleotman, had majority of 11s
over William e. Hall, aem., for the same
position. ]. B. Mix, rep, for fret select
man, had a majority of rs over c. .Jones,
dem. The figures were: J. B. Mix 112, j.
Walter Mix 131, @. N. Jones 81, William
E Hall 1S.
The result of the license vote in Ysles-
Vile proved q surprise to many and set the
friends of license to hustling in good earn
| est. The lady voters were all on hand to
cast their first ballot for school visitors,
| but as there were only three candidates for
| that Office and all were bound to be elected
| their votes did not materially affect the re-
| suit. Miss Louise Hammarth was the first
| female to cast her vote and she came up
| and did go like little man. Judge Hub
bard presided at the town meeting which
was called to order at $50. Town Clerk
Martin read the call for the meeting and
at its close Jaroes @. Roach arose and made
a motion that the business part of the
meeting be adjourned until Thursday
evening at 8 O'Clock. The motion was sec
| onded and after some discussion was
| passed, j. R. Campbell made a motion tt
reconsider the vote and change til,
date to some other time ON accoun
Of the agricultural associations first fair
which came on Thursday. q. L. Hall

ing ]. G. Roach explained that the objec
in deferring the action on business unit
evening was to give the working class
chance to attend without losing any tina
in the shop. E. N. Judd favored adjourn
ing until Saturday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
when both the farmers and workingme,
could attend as the factories would b
closed on that afternoon. There was con
siderable discussion on the motion, whicl
was finally put to the meeting, and afte
two attempts at "vlva voee" rising vot
was had, and the motion was defeated b
vote of IS to 40. The meeting then ad
journed until Thursday evening at
O'Clock, when the matter of free text books
acceptance of road in Yalesville, laying
town tax and other business will be trans
acted.
The result of the vote is as follows: Tt

a LONG DANCE.
An English Actor Who skipped
from London to Norwich.

An OlI-Time English Actor Who skipped
from London to Norwich.
The longest dance on record is prob
ably that of William Kemp, an actor OF
| some celebrity in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. He was a comedian and
danced all the way from London to
Norwich. He was attended by a tabor
er, a servant and an Overseer, and the
Boston Globe thinks it was doubtless a
| good thing for him that there were no
omnibuses or police then, for they
would probably have imposed more i'm
pediments in the way of his progress
than did the country people. He start
ed with several presents Of greats and
crooked sixpences for luck, and laden
with these danced to StratfOrd with
out rest. There many invited him to
drink, but the notes OF the tabor cut
short his jocularities, and he pranced
off to Ilford, where he had to reject
another carouse that was offered to
him. From Ilford he danced in the
moonlight to a point near ROmford,
and that ended his first DAYS exploit.
subsequently he went in for early
risings to avoid market people, and
though suffering from a sprain of the
hip which he received he danced it
well again, to the delight of the
crowd that accompanied him, some
two hundred in number. When he
reached Chelmsford he was so exhaust
ed that he could not dance at all for a
time, and his fourth days dance was a
hard One-thick woods on each side
and lanes full of deep holes, so that
sometimes, he says, he "skipt up to the
waist which must have placed him in
a woeful plight. He rested at Braintree
and danced three miles off his next
days journey. His next stop was at
~Sudberry, where a butcher tried to
dance with him, but in half a mile he
was tired and had to give in. He
danced the ten miles from Bury to
ThetfOrd in three hours. His next
stage was to ROckland. from which
point his post attempted to accompany
him, but lay down from fatigue at the
end of two fields. When he reached
Norwich he had to dance in and out Of
the city twice, for his overseer missed
him in the crowd and made him do the
distance over again to avoid any posi-
bility Of error.
