A Word to the Wise.

The voters of the Second Ward, par
ticularly those residing on Raleigh
and West Martin streets, should have
no difficulty in deciding which of the
two candidates for City Council has
the strongest claim upon their fran
chise. 1t will require very little use
of memory to recall the days when the
now beautiful driveway along Raleigh
street was almost a quagmire, and
ever the bravest dreaded a trip to the
cd c. V. R. r. depot in wet weather.
Were it not for the serious side, it
would be laughable, to recall the many
incidents of teams stuck in the mud,
lost foot-gear, etc, which was of such
frequent occurrence that it came to be
looked upon as a matter of course, and
accepted as the inevitable. The trans
formation from quagmire to a solid
and beautiful roadbed, is accomplish
ed, and the citizens of the Second
Ward should not forget, at this period,
the fundamentally of Mr.. Anthony
Staubly, toward securing this much
desired result.

A Pleasant Evening.

Miss Sallie Cornelius, of Baltimore,
assisted by Miss Laura Hill, of Hagers-
town, and Rev. d. H. Shields gave an
interesting and instructive entertain
ment Saturday evening at the First NJ.
E. Church. Miss Cornelius Rotations
varied from the pathetic to the hui
morus, were ably rendered, and greatly
appreciated by the large audience as
sembled. On Sunday morning she IA
vored the Sunday school with "Papa's
Letter" to the great delight of the
young folks. The fact that Miss Cor
nelius spent a portion of her childhood
here added much to the interest ofthe
occasion. All present hope to hear
her again.

Is Now a Voter.

A special term of the Circuit Court
was held Monday. Along with other
business was the naturalization of Mr..
G. Wellinger. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Wellinger was the Democrat
ic candidate for Councilman in the
Fourth Ward last year. He was de
feated, instituted contest proceedings
discovered he was not a citizen, also
that his opponent, Mr.. John Grozing-
er, was elected. The council declared
there was no election on what ground
or for what reason no one knows, and
appointed a Democrat to the alleged
vacancy, which is one of the indict-
ments to be passed upon on the 2Sth.
In this connection, it may not be
amiss to state that Mr., A. M. Gilbert
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Groz-
niger was elected yet voted that there
was no election and is now soliciting
Republican votes. 1t remains to be
seen if there are any Republicans in
the Second Ward who will stultify
themselves in the manner indicated.

DIR. and Mrs. Hoffheifs, Of the Re-

wedding Tuesday evening. As might
have been expected their legion OF
friends, from every quarter, remem
bered them and now the reverend's
study is turned into a jewelry store.
They are more than happy. The
greatest sourc of happiness is not SO
much the intrinsic value, which is
considerable, as the evidences of es-
teen from such a great number.
While the Herald has not silver or
gold to bestow we do extend best
wishes for future happiness and ex-
press the hope that long life may be
theirs.

Peculiar Politics.

Last year John Grozinger was cleo
ted to the council from the Fourth
Ward. The treatment he received is
well known. This year Mr.. c. P.
Matthaei is the Democratic nominee
for mayor and is being traded off for
votes for Mr.. Gilbert in the Second
Ward, in a vain effort to defeat Mr..
Staubly. When it is remembered that
that Messrs. Grozinger, Mathaei, and
Staubley are of the same nationality.
it begins to look as if our Democratic
friends have but slight affection the
gentlemen from the fatherland.

Three Men Lose Their Lives iii
u Cess Pool


Tuesday evening, about s O'Clock,
Zach Fuller, Z~ephaniah Silvers, and
William Barbour, colored men, resi-
dents of this city. engaged in cleaning
out a ces pool at the Continental
Hotel, lost their lives. They were in
the employ Of the Messrs. Shaffer and
had dug a pit about S feet deep along
side the pit to be cleaned. There was
a narrow earthen partition between
the two and when connection was
made the gas rushed in in such quanti-
ties as to overcome them and they fell
to the ground. An alarm was at once
| given. a crowd soon collected, and
bodies of the unfortunate victims FISH
ed out. Heroic efforts were made to
save them but of no avail. Indeed, it
is possible that they were dead before
the alarm was given. Powder was
exploded in the pit, and Mr.. Marcy
Med. Price with a rope about his
waist attempted to reach them, but
SO strong was the foul vapor that he
had descended but about S feet when
he clutched the rope, in the han DIS of
Mr.. Ramer and others and was drawn
out in an almost unconscious condi-
ton.
Coroner Mckee, on the advice Of
Prosecuting Attorney Pitzer, summon
ed a jury consisting of Messrs. H. T.
Cushwa. D. M. Kilmer, D. w. Rod
rick, w. o. Nicklas. ]. F. Roberts,
and F. d. Staleyand proceeded to hold
an inquest. After the examination of
sundry witnesses, a verdict was re-
turned as follows: That Vim. Barbour
came to his death while employed in
cleaning the cess pool at the Cont
mental Hotel, being overcome by gas
or foul air, and that Zach Fuller and
Zeph Silvers came to their death from
the same cause in attempting to rescue
Barbour; and that it was the result Of
an unforeseen and unlocked for agency
for which no one was responsible.
The bodies were prepared for burial
by undertaken Wien, and their funer-
al from the A.. NJ. E. church, Wednes-
day evening was largely attended.
The deceased were honest, hard
working men and their sudden taking
off is deplored by all classes.
