The REPORTER was in error in stating
last week that elee ion dispatches were
rec iyed from the Postal Telegraph Com
pany. The election news received in
C1bnrn Hall was received by the West
err Union Telegraph Company aud
beside these some we're received over
the wires of the New England Telephone
Company. We find that we We're not
the only ones at fault in this respect.
The blank forms of the \. E. Telephone
company upon which dispatches were
written were mistaken for those of the
Postal Telegraph Company although
they were very unlike.

Bradstreets:- The expected has hap

sound money. One result is return Of
confidence in the stability of values and
in an early revival of the demand for
staples. Lower rates of interest and 4
willingness on the part of banks To
make loans which had previously been
declined. are additional evidences of
the meaning Of tie maintenance Of the
gold standard. Business was practically
suspended throughout the country
early this week. There has been little
increase in the volume since election
compared with like periods in proceed
ing weeks. The manufacturers and
jobbers are more inclined to purchase
in advance instead of for nearby wants
only. The gold which had been with
drawn from savings and other banks
by timid depositors, is flowing back
into the banks much faster than it was
drawn out. Numerous industrial es-
adjustments, which have started up
within two days, report being offered
large orders, if they would sell for 1897
delivery at present prices. Millions of
dollars worth Of orders FOR general
merchandise, given contingent ON the
success of sound mouey, are being
filled. The bank clearings totals con
tinue below the billion dollar mark,
800, 600, 600 for the past week.

y. Y. Advertiser: 1.-The Solid South

Tuesdays election nicked it badly about
the edges. Republican victories in
Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky,
with large Republican gains in Florida,
Texas, tennessee, North Carolina. Nir-
giuia and Missouri, give promise of the
early dissolution of the Democratic
solidity that has held the South in
chains and retarded her development for
the past twenty years. Altogether the
increase in the Republican vote in the
South this year over lhal of 1892 is
nearly half a million and the changed

per cent Of iliteracy against Is to 81

elected by something more than mere
numbers. He had the brains and the
material interests of the country with
him, and these must always have a

Harry C. Powers, a very prominent
citizen of Norridgcwock, died, Friday
last, at his home, of Bright's disease,
after short but painful illness, aged
about 10 years. Mr.. Powers has held
the Office of postmaster, and chairman
of the board of selectmcn. In '93l94 he
served in the Maine Legislature as
representative from that section. He
was very prominent in Masonic circles
and Il member of the order of Good
Templars. He is survived by wife
and three children, Mrs. j, 5. Taylor of

found guilty and sentenced to three
months imprisonment. 1t was clearly
proven that Mrs. Castle was suffering
from mental malady, which made her
not responsible for the theft, but still
sentence was pronounced 1t is thought
however, that the sentence is practically
formal and she will be released in few
days.
