The electric lines are running on regu-
lar time again but the telephone service
i stil tied up. Ii W hard 10 say how
long Il will be before the service 10 In good
working order, inasmuch as there will bs
n good deal OF trouble In reacjusting the
poles and wires that are down.
The Voting.
There was very little excitement
ing passed of quietly and little
interest was manifested in the re-
suit. The principal features were the
apathy of the Lapham men snd the large
Socialist vote in the First district OF the
Tenth.
For Cruelty TO Animals.
Benjamin Essex was prosecuted by the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to,,,t, to Animals and q paid the
and costs. lie kept number OF
horses and neglected to provide proper
shelter and food for them.
A Lapham Cigar.
There was good thing in the first dis
trict OF the Tenth yesterday. Lsst
year the clerks at the poll
Ing place were presented box
of cigars by one of Mr. Laphsm's
supporters. Apparently they ex,
so it was thought the proper
thing to indulge in little practical joke
at the expense of the clerks. A cigar box
was handed inside tho rail, but it con-
tanned, in place OF the usual fragrant
rolls of Havana, a good sized specimen
OF the rodent family. The clerk was
ri mt on to the game, however, and tire
joke didn't work there. Ii aid iater,
though, for the animal made his escape
into the clothing OF man who was asked
to hold the box for a moment" Thon there
was excitement enough in the neig hbor-
hood. AS the gentleman Is one OF the
best known in the district the story soon
got around and 1t Is safe 10 say that he
will not hear the last OF 1t for some time.

Four years ago last August John Rey-
