WILL HAVE A NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.

Bellows Falls. VT. March 1.-The present
indications are that the Bellows Falls and
Saxtons River electric railroad will be
built early in the spring. A quiet canvass
for capital stock made last week shows
the readiness of business men to take 1t.
A charter granted by the Legislature in
1892 has been dormant till now. Outside
capitalists are ready to take half or all
of the stock, but the feeling Of the incor-
porators is that 1t should be controlled
here. Pledges already made assure its i'm
mediate construction. The distance is five
miles, besides the street loops here.

NOTES OF THE BATTLE.

NOTES OF THE BATTLE.
The next Board of Aldermen will contain
eight republicans and two democrats.
The next board of school commissioners
will contain three democrats and two re-
publicans, but politics do not enter into
this department of the city government.
The only woman to vote for school COM
missioner in the first ward was Mrs. F. o.
Sinclair, wife of the democratic candidate
for alderman, and If she voted as would
naturally be expected, her vote elected
Prof Barbour.
With Tuesdays election Or" Munsor
should retire from the field. The result of
his many caucuses and other efforts to
keep his name before the public Is total
OF two votes in total of 2521. These two
votes were cast in the ward where he lives.
Mr.. Monahan, the regular nominee of the
populsts Jared somewhat better, receiving
rs votes. Last year OR" Munson polled
1SS votes.
The republican vote in the Third Ward
was almost as large as that In the Fourth,
and was fully up with the average in past
years, showing that nothing was lost by
not antagonizing the democratic candidate
for alderman. Some of the leading re.
pubicans in the ward went through the lis,
| Monday evening and settled upon 21S as
| the probable republican vote. The result,
exceeded their expectations by II votes.
The returns were bulletined at the Free
Press office and were read at the city
clerks office as the ward officers reached
there after counting the votes. The first
ward arrived first, then the second, fol.
lowed by the fourth and fifth. Then came
a long delay and the fact that II would re-
quire plurality of only 1913 in the third
to overcome Mr. Peck's plurality made
some of the republicans uneasy. The dem
ocratic election officers in this ward triet
hard to find the required amount but af
ter counting the ballots four times they
were satisfied that it did not exist ant
good naturally accepted the situation.
| f. II. McCale's name was placed on the
populists' ticket as inspector of election
in ward five without his knowledge ant
