was named as Tammany candidate
for mayor vice n. s. Strauss, with
drawn. at the meeting of the execu~
tive committee in Tammany hall this
afternoon. The mayor said he would
NOT accept, but he changed his mind
after a long conference. Mr.. Grant, in
resnonse to q committee on notltica~
ton. said: my notion to accept is
based upon conditions which L will
hereafter state so that there can be no
mistake about my position. l have
determined never to take public office
again, but as | favored the Gomina-
tion of Strauss felt that
/ am somewhat responsible for his
being named. l feel exceedingly sorry
for the course Mr.. Strauss has taken.
But he has declined. and you have
been so extremely kind to me l Will
show my appreciation OF u by ac-
cepting the nomination. MY condl-
tions are that certain candidates who

removed from the ticket"
The committee then escorted MT
Grant to Tammany, where he was re-
ceived with tremendous applause. Ii

unjust a division Of Representations

the platform also characterizes the A.

ton of which is to divide parties and
people upon religious basis and TO

written today, was received:

Death of Col, Walsh.

Col. John Carroll Walsh, prominent citi-
zen of Hartford county, died suddenly at his
home near Belair on day. The cause of
his death is supposed to have been apoplexy.

tasted with his family Saturday as usual.
After breakfast he went to his room, on an
upper floor, and II few moments later the
members of the household were startled by
the sound of "A heavy fall. They FASTENED
upstairs and found Colonel Walsh lying dead
upon the floor. He had evidently been sit

scented Hartford county in the State Senate

The last session of the Delaware

be held in Washington, to-day. Saturday.

members and submitted to the Secretary of
War for transmission to Congress. The work
Of the board has been unusually rapid. con-
sder.ag the extent of the projects considered
and the vast number of maps and drawings
examined The session Thursday was the third
and to-day will conclude the meetings.
Thursdays meeting was devoted entirely to Il
general review of the entire question and
consideration us to which OF the seven routes
surveyed by Colonel Craighill is the best
1t is understood that the shorter route and
the cheaper will not be approved, owing
chiefly to the expense of maintaining proper
approaches and the danger arising from ice
fields coming down the Susquehanna.
The ChOptank routes, it is said. have been
received with the most favor. and it is thought
probable that one of them or the lower route
will be selected finally. On Saturday the
report, which is now being drawn up, will be
again considered. and unless some uneXpect-
ed obstacle is encountered in the proceedings
the commission will then adjourn. 1t is
stated that the route recommended will not

Protection Against Fire.

NOrth East star.
North East has no proper protection in the
event of IA fire. Fortunately the few fires
that have occurred lately were discovered in
time to prevent serious disaster. We have no
guarantee however, of always thus being
favored by fortune, and it is Il matter that
should engage the serious consideration of
every property holder.
The improvements and perfection to which
effective fire apparatus has been brought, and
the reasonable prices that now rule bring the
possibility of protection within the reach of
every Incorporated town. few hundred
dollars will purchase all that is necessary for
North East. 1t is possible now to purchase n
large chemical engine and hand fire engine
combined with hooks, ladders, and buckets
the whole outfit costing less than $500. Our
town officials and property holders should
take steps looking to purchase of such an
outfit and the sooner it is done. the safer the
town will be.
