GOODWIN TIM ES.

Well, the Primary is over and we are more OF less hopeless, as to ever getting any pie. Just the least bit hard consider ing ourselves part of the family. But if we failed to elect our man we did not fait to get something else which elections always bring, plenty of bad whiskey. and perhaps you think some of our folks did Int get happy. We have not witnessed the like in many day. It reminded us of old times.
 Esq. Allen lost his seal and other things, of little value to anyone. and of no earthly use to those who took them. and instead of blaming those who took them, we hear the loser say: "They couldn't help It, didn't they break up hens nest in John Dyals barn and suck the eggs that the hen had been setting on nearly two weeks ? The whiskey the candidates sent out here was mean enough to make anyone steal. or do most anything else"
 Well l hope our boys who got left will soon feel better. They,spent a good deal of money, and are sure to feel bad for a time, but 1t can't be helped, somebody had to be left.
 We are glad to think that several of our Third party friends who voted in the primary have come back to stay with us. Some of them said they wanted to write on their tickets. Gods Children are Gathering Home" JACK.

 CONSTABLE DRUNK WITH THE REST.
 Saturday was election day and the man. ner i'll which most of the voters i've could not call them men for there was nothing manly about them) acted was disgusting in the extreme. 1t looks to us very much like the votes of persons in the condition most of them were, might we'll be chal- lenged--but that is not all: our women and children were obliged to listen to the vilest language that could come from hu- man lips. 1t would not have been safe for woman or child to meet these vile wretches out alone. They seemed to loose all knowledge--if they eyer had any-of what deceney and law and order were. It is strange that we can live in u land having laws sufficient to control and keep everything in harmony and have to submit to such debauchery as we Wit messed Saturday. The question natural ly arises, where are the men whose duty it is to enforce the law? Echo answers where. To say that man run we'll in his own town would signify but little, for from all appearances the man who furnished the most whiskey got the most votes and we would consider ourselves honored had we been in the field to come out last.

Loud and angry voices were heard in
the room above. A woman's piercing
scream smote the air.
Thump! Thump! Thumpl
A woman's heartbreaking sobs broke
upon the ears of the Mortified listeners
With one accord they rushed up the stair

from which the sounds proceeded,
A woman with disheveled hair, torn
and dust-covered clothing and eyes red
with weeping stood in the middle of the

A man with his coat off, sleeves rolled
up, his eyeballs rolling in frenzy, and the
perspiration streaming down his face
confronted the intruders.

OFFENDED THE ACTORS.

How Lord Russell Made Inconsider
Remarks at Public Dinner.
For the first time in the history of the
English theater the Lord Chief Justice has
presided at an actors dinner. Lord Rus

to see America in August. in his speech as
chairman at the fifty-frst annual dinner of
the Royal General Theatrical Fund, had
little fun with the players. He said:
at may not be known to all of you, but
1t is known to some of you, though per-
haps not by experience, that the Lord
Chief Justice is head OF the criminal Judi

stage-were not so willing, as am happy

DEFICIENT STREET FUNDS
Supervisors Find That the Ap-
preparation Will Not Go
Round.
There Will Be $4,000 Less Than
Enough to Carry the Depart.
ment Through.

Present indications are that nothing can
prevent big deficit in the Street Depart
ment funds for the fiscal year that ends
on the 30th inst, and the question of re-
sponsibility for the lack of money has be-
come one of deep interest to the Superin-
tendent of Streets and the members of the
Board of Supervisors.
The Finance Committee of the board has
had its expert working on the figures in
the matter for some time past with view
to bringing the situation down to facts
and has learned the condition of affairs
within the past two days.
While the members refuse to discuss
the matter until a report is made to the
board tomorrow, it has been learned that
the actual deficit for the fiscal year will
exceed $50, 900 and that after using all the
money available to help out the fund there
will still remain a dehcit Of $4,000 or
more.
The experts report EN- bodies the fol-
lowing points:
observation-disclosures presented on
the Street Department fund up to June 10,
1896 $4S6, 526 g. June requirements (esti-
mated), $25, 1858 40; amount to be paid on
contracts not completed, SOL, $40 60; total,
$3.50, Ala SO.
Receipts-Street Department portion OF
money raised by tax levy, $493, S58 80;
licenses, $25, 175 %; miscellaneous, 49,,
693 81; June receipts (estimated), 1888;
total, $532 576 40. This shows deficit of
$50, 1858 81 for the fiscal year.
As partial offset for this there is the
sum of 5000 left in the Street Department
fund from last year, which will serve to
BRING the actual deficit down to about
$25 900.
These figures are expected to have no
small bearing on the fixing of the Street
Department appropriation for the next
fiscal year.

driven so hard that it was thoroughly
played out and died in few minutes.
A veterinary surgeon was called IN, and
after examining the horse he came to the
conclusion that its death was caused by
overdriving.
Cohn was arrested two days later by
Officer Hooper of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals for driving
the horse to death. The case was contin-
ued from time to time. but Friday Cohn
was convicted by Judge Conlan and or
dered to appear FOR sentence yesterday
