We are informed by Agent E. E.
Witherel, of the Port Edwards road,
that about ten days more will exhaust
the supply of logs which they have been
hauling from the vicinity of Arpin to
the John Edwards Mfg Co.'S mill at
Port Edwards. This has been source
of considerable revenue to this road
which will make quite a decrease in
traffic when cut off.

Fearing discovery, he took her to Clinton

WATCHES HELD on THE CLOCK.
Scheme Was known, and All Eyes
Watched the Electric Timepiece.

scheme Was known, and All Eyes
Watched the Electric Timepiece.
The fact that the hands of the electric
clock were held by Governor Matthews's
employees is not to be doubted. Twenty
watches were set by this same clock earlier
in the evening. and when ten minutes of IL
arrived according to the electric clock the
hands stopped and the Representatives
knew that the Governors bold trick was
about to be played After being held for a
few minutes the hands jumped to that point
on the dial representing five minutes of II,
and there they stopped again till the Gov
ernor's secretary should reach the House
chamber, when the hands were to jump
over the midnight mark. Messrs. Robinson,
Macintosh, Holloway and Terhune were
among the twenty who held watches, and
they can testify positively as to the trick
of the Governor.
The Republicans grew very indignant, and
they showed a disposition to resent this
underhand method of defeating the will of
a legislative majority. 1t was recalled that
some years ago Governor Porter had the
same opportunity to defeat legislation
that which came to Governor Matthews
last night, but his course was in direct
variance with that of Governor Matthews.
The Democratic Legislature had passed
metropolitan police bill and the opportunity
was afforded Governor Porter of pre-
senting his veto in just such a way as Gov
ernor Matthews tried to present his last
night. The question was raised whether or
not Governor Porter would undertake to
defeat the will of the majority by any such
dilatory tactics. Governor Porter, however,
settled the matter by stating in an inter
view that he would not resort to such
questionable method. Instead he presented
his veto In time for the Legislature to act
upon 1t, and the Legislature passed the bill
over his veto.
