When the ordinance providing fol
a special election was passed by the
Town Council six weeks ago, THE
COLUMBIAN suggested the propriety OF
holding public meetings for the pur-
pose of discussing the situation, SC
that the voters might understand what
they were to vote upon. No meet
ings were held, and no interest was
taken in the matter by anybody, and
it is likely that if an election had been
held on Tuesday, the vote would have
been very light. In one respect, there
fore, it is fortunate that something
occurred to call attention to the fact
that there was to be an election. The
granting of an injunction brought the
matter to public notice, and now it
is the topic of conversation in every
store and on every street corner.
There seems to be unanimous opin-
ion that the Indebtedness may be in
creased, but as to whether the town
shall own an electric light plant OF
not, there is a difference of sentiment
There are two sides to the question,
and taxpayers ought not to act
blindly on this issue.

Strange sounds from the roof OF Frank
Orms' liquor store on 0lneyville square
attracted the attention of the Johnston
police at an early hour this morni ng.
Visions OF burglars ran through the minds
of the guardians of the night and the
idea of how best to capture a real live
robber was quickly resolved in the mind
OF the policemen on duty. ladder was
secured and officer Doone was delegated
to mount and grapple with the would-b be
intruder of the inner apartments OF the
saloon. know hereabo as the "Nut-

roof and peered about no one can tell

10 his superiors. il is 10 be presumed
that not hing out of the usual order was
transpiring at the early hour OF o'clock.
The shutters to the rear windows were
securely fastened when the place Sas
opened this morning and a single cracked
glass was the only sign that any one had
evil designs upon the place, and this
cracked glass pane none could tell
whether il had ceased to be sound last
night or longer ago. Meanwhile the
strange sounds on the roof remain a
mystery. Some one was unkind enough
this morning TO suggest it might have
been cats.
ESCAPED FROM THE STATE FARM.

The Huge Leviathan PIowed Through

A Large Number of Persons Saw the
Impressive Sight.

LANDS END, RocKPoRT, Mass, Oct IL.
The day for the trial OF the good ship
Indiana, the king pin OF Uncle Sans
white hulled fleet, opened bright ana
slear. A Is to 20-mile west-northwest
breeze was blowing which served to make
the water at the starting point compara-
lively smooth, but which farther down
the legal course kicked up considerable
of a sea and dotted the surface OF old
ocean with innumerable whitecaps.
SO clear was it that Mount Agamenicus
down in Maine, was plainly visible to the
naked eye. The black smoke OF the huge
floating fort, as at a distance she appears
to be, was sighted at O'Clock, which pre-
saged the coming of the huge leviathian
of the sea, she haxing left her anchorage
ut Boston, about an hour previous. The
mark boats, together with the dispatch
boat Dolphin, had preceded her,
having run down to their stations shortl
after daylight. AS soon as she came In
sight IL was seen that no time was to be
wasted at the starting line, the great VOL
uues OF black smoke pouring from her
two short tunnels proclaiming the fact
that she was under forced draught and
coming at top speed. The great wave OF
white water at the bow pushed up by her
torpedo tube seemed even larger than on
Wednesday. At s9:55 she was within
mile OF the line and without any prelim
mary maneuvering was making straight
for il. The wind at this time had hauled
o little to the westward, blowing directly
on her weather quarter. Straight for the
line she went crossing it at 1o:o4:3 a. m.
Twenty three minutes, % seconds
later, at .1o:T:55, she passed the first
mark, 62 knots from starting
line, being a point slightly better than IL
knots. At this point she gets the full
force of wind and water, which Is against
her, but which will help her on the run
back At 1855 she passed the Dolphin,
the second stakeboat, 12.4 knots away,
her speed up to this point averaging
about her requirements OF 15 knots. Be-
side wind and sea she has also got the
tide against her, and under these adverse
conditions she is doing remarkably well.
At IL ~ she was hull down.
Indiana crossed finish line 2:23 80 p. m.
The estimated speed OF the Indiana was
1873 knots.
