Too Much Acclamation.

\ strange bIunder was pcrpetratcd at
the town meeting in Coburn Hall, Mon
day, viz, the election of moderator by
acclamation And the very strange
feature WAS that the town clerk, who
has held the office for many years,
should have entertained such u motion.
aud that a hall full of lawyers. doctors.
business men aud farmers. one-half of
whom knew better, should have allowed
that action to have been taken without oh
lection.
When the situation dawned upon the
town officers elect and others they cast
about for a remedy, and Hon. 5. j, Wal
ton went to Augusta. Wednesday morn
lng and drew Il bill to legalilc the cleo
ton of the moderator and his acts As
such and the doings of the meeting.
This bill will be presented to the legi--
lature by Representative Marston to-day.
and pushed through the legislature with
as little delay as possible and thus the
difficulty remedied.
This shows the necessity of our citi-
Hens looking closely after town proceed
lng@ and of exercising at least ordinary
care over the localities of affairs of SO
great Importance.

thus defeating Baxter by a count out.
There is general discussion over this
state of affairs, and Charles F. Guptill,
Democratic alderman from Ward /,
charaCterizes the count as a bad mistake.
The warden burned the ballots as soon
as counted, at which there is great indig

defea ted.

ICE BRIDGE At NIAGARA.
The Nerve and Daring Displayed by Two
Girls Who Attempted TO Cross u.

+ NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. 1.-The great ice
bridge of 1895 formed Tuesday morning
and remained stationary foT an hour and a
half. Then it moved for five minutes AMI
came to u halt again. There was another
short move at about . o'clock in the after
noon. After that, until o'clock, the
bridge held and the ice kept piling up. The
fore and weight were too great, however,
and at 4 .0J p. NJ. the immense body began
to move.
All day long visitors lined the banks
and refused to leave the various position of
advantage, so intent were they to view the
wonderful spectacle. When the bridge
formed in the morning the ice piled nearly
30 feet high The first persons the mount the
bridge were the two sisters from. Toronto,
the Misses Annette and Amelia Parkinson,
Knox College girls. who would have crossed
the iloe had it not been for cautionary AL
vice from the old guide, Jack McCloy.
The girls went 10 the pinnacle of the ice
mountain under Prospect Point, where a
man lost his life in 1876, and McCloy re
covered his body by tunnelling through tie
mountain. In fact there seemed nothing
daring enough which they would not at
tempt. The crowd cheered and cheered
the girls, and they waved back their hands
in response. At times the mist from the
American Falls would envelop them, but it
did not dampen their ardor in the least.
They made splendid exhibition of perse-
yerance, nerve and bravery.
