Lesson I'M EcOn Omv,

The bulletin blackboard in the Column
bias engine room has chalked upon it a
lesson in economy to which they point
with considerable satisfaction. Recently
the Borough Council took the coal haul
ing from the company and gave it out by
contract. Comparisons are now made
and the blackboard shows this result =
January, 1894, five tons of coal used at
1925 per ton, sl6.25. January, 1895, seven
tons of coal used at S9.15 per ton, S29. 0S
The difference against the borough. for
one month is IS 80 and the coal now pro-
vided is crop coal, while that the fire
company furnished was P. & R. coal.
The fire laddies certainly have the best Of
the argument.

is one element to be fearful Of, and that is
the complimentary" voter. In the
present contest the lines are distinctly
drawn, and the candidates on the Citizens
ticket will compare favorably with their
opponents as to intelligence and oapabili.
ties for the respective positions to which
they aspire. No member Of the Citizens
party can conscientiously cast his vote
| against the nominees on his ticket and
in favor of the Democrats. The little
disappointments that may exist over the
| result Of the primaries will be overcome,
and the enemy will find little consolation
from that source. The outlook was never
brighter for the Citizens gaining control
of both Legislative bodies of the town,
and with each succeeding day the con
viction seems to be gaining that the party
will be successful. Over-confidence, how
ever, is sometimes dangerous in political
canvass, and it will require the assistance
OF every Citizen vote on the 10Th inst. to
elect the ticket This is not the time for
complimentary voting, if we desire
success.

Opinion over the decision in the boxing
contest between Mcdonald and Connolly,
at Fergus 0n's theatre on Wednesday
night, is very much divided. There are
many who think McDon aid clearly won
the decision, but the referee was afraid of
offending the talent" who had all their
money on Connolly and did not find out
until after the contest started that they
had hold of the wrong end of the mule
On the other hand, the sports claim that
Connolly clearly won the contest on fouls
and the Mcdonald men should consider
themselves lucky that they were not re.
quired to make good their bets. The in
ference is that the referee did not please
either side. Yet the case is not on a par
with one Constable Taliesin Phillips tells
about. 1t occurred during the early days
of this town. An Englishman and a
Welshman agreed to settle dispute oy a
few rounds In the ring and a mutual
friend, an Englishman, was selected as
the referee. He meant to act impartially
to both sides, but when the battle grew
hot his native pride was aroused. In the
excitement the identity of the men be-
come somewhat mixed. When the two
were upon the ground the referee yelled,
Whose down now ?'' Some one in the
crowd said the Englishman was "Let
him up; fair play" shouted the referee.
A few moments later the men were down
again and the referee again asked who
vas down. Upon being told it was the
Welshman the official yelled to the
Englishman, "Pouud i'm kick i'm 4

became combatant.

Washington, D. c., April 8,
1S95.-It looks now as though
the administration had won a
very creditable diplomatic vic
tory from Great Britain in that
little affair of Nicaragua, and
that Great Britain had greatly
modified that bluff about bonn
harding Nicarague's seaports.
Nothing official has been given
out about the diplomatic cor
respondence on this matter with
in the last few days, but there
are good reasons for stating
that Ambassador Bayard has
been most positively assured
by the British government that
nothing will be done in its deal
ings with Nicaragua that can
be properly construed into a
violation of the Monroe doc
trine. This assurance was nat
urally very gratifying to Pres
Iident Cleveland and the other
members of the administration.
II was saying in a round about
wav that Great Britain never
really meant to carry out that
bombarding threat. and it was
also in way a recognition of the
Monroe doctrine. That this as

Death of Alexander Lumsden.

Mr.. Alexander Iumsden about week

tial shock Of paralysis which terminated
in his death. Surely, God dealt merciful-

9Th year, at the time of his death. lie
came to this country when a young man
and after many years Of faithful labor
and wise economy he was able to enter
/ upon business. As a business man he
was shrewd and eminently successful.
His success was largely due to his
natural business tact and purpose to be
honest in trade When Mr.. Lumsden
came to this country he was member
of the Juvenile OddFellowship, an order
/ known in his own country. He soon
united with the odd fellows here and has
been member of that order twenty-siX
years. MIR. Lumsden leaves widow,

Ii might be we'll To state that one of
the characteristics of the Scottish people
is the great love they have for their
c9untrymen aud for their home. This
Was most marked in MIR. Lumsden faIni-
y. Nothing WAS too good for his child
ren. He was passionatelv fond of his
home. Never was there a family more
united or more respectful t. each other,
sharing with each other the Joys aud
the sorrows in life. The same affection
was manifest toward his grandchildren.
He has gone out from us, but his exam
pie as an upright and worthy citizen,
will remain as IA lesson 20 those WHO
knew him. Surely he will be missed by
his many friends and deeply mourned by
his family.
The funeral services were largely al
tended by his friends aud the order to
which he belonged. This attendance
was an evidence OF esteem and respect.
The funeral took place at , o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon at his residence,
conducted by Rev. l.. IL. Copeland,
pastor of the First Baptist church, as
sisted by Rev. IL. w. kmball, pastor of

a lot owned by him on the street, The
premises were viewed in the forenoon
and in the afternoon witnesses were ex-
amined and the arguments made by the

seleetmen understood that no damages
would be claimed by the Christian socic-

for the strip of one and one-half rods
