DEADLOCK IN WHITE CLAY CREEK.

First There Was Fight Among tho
Road Commissioner, Then II Was Ex-
tended to the Road Supervisors.
There is deadlock in White Clay Creek
hundred The hundred went Democratic
In November. 1892, Evan Lewis and
Joshua Robinson. Democrats. were
elected road commissioners
About a year ago Mr. Robinson re-
signed. The law prescribed that the two
survivors should elect his successor
within given time. Lewis. Of course
wanted a Democrat elected, while William
Whippen, the Republican hold.over
thought he saw chance OF making the
hundred so Republican against tho ex-
press will OF the people. This led to the
deadlock, and 10 lasted until after the
time prescribed by law for filling the
vacancy had expired.
The Eight then turned on the road su
pervisors. Whippen wanted 10 appoint
a Republican, but Lewis stood firm
and demanded Democrats. In con
sequence Of this second dead
lock, the old supervisors have been
holding over. doing comparatively little
or no work. much TO the qualification Of
the travelling public, which has had
comparatively good roads, since the
time serving supervisors ceased to think
Of the roads.
The old DeDoerstio supervisor OF
roads in the eastern end Of the hundred
hauled some plsnks TO repair trunk in
his district, yesterday. Whlppen heard
OF II and, upon the advice Of the Repub.
lican and Democratic eoroheads, sent q
Republican supervisor to do the said
work. For time there was a stand of
at the trunk, but ultimately the Repub-
lican supervisor did the work, while the
Democrats stood of for advice.
