Two of the "Scare" Incidents.

Every dark side has its pleasures, and
the yellow fever scare this week has prov
ed no exception. The sorrow has caused
smiles as the the following, from We'd
nesday's Times Democrat, will show:
A gentleman whose family was at one
of the Gulf towns for the summer was
infected by the fever scare, and went over
Monday morning to bring his people
home. He marshaled his family at the
depot in time for the first train, but
couldn't find ioothold even, and waited
for the second. He put his four children
aboard when the second train stopped and
then went back for his wife, While away
on the mission the train started off, taking
the children and leaving husband and
wife behind, None of the children had
cent OF money. The gentleman inn
mediately telegraphed q friend in this
city to meet them ut the train and then
he and his wife waited at the station for
development. After heartbreaking wait
he received message from the New Or
leans friend telling him that the chill.
dren had reached New Orleans all right
and were at the friends home. Imagine
the relief of the auxioGs ones!
Another man put his wife on the train
and got off for his mother-in.law. The
train pulled away without HIM. Luckily
his wife had money enough Tor the trip,
and when she reach New Orleans wired
her husband that all was well.
These are but two of the scores of the
accidents that separated families while
the scare was in progress, and people
were to Get into New Orleans.

dance and little interest shown. When
moi over a hundred OF the 900 voters IN
town are present, something is radically
wrong.
Whatever the intent of the law which
provides that upon the petition oil ~ or
more legal voters of townthe moderator,
CLERK, constable, selectmen, road commits
sioner and school director shall be chosen
by the.use OF one ballot, the actual enect
has been to encourage system OF star
cham beru paljtics that has discouraged
and disguised nine tenths of the voters OF
this town. The ballot is forced onto the
meeting, however distasteful its use may
be, by the will of very small number OF
voters, comprising usually those who
want office themselves or want hand IN
filling them. The ticket is made up aud
printed at the last minute and nobody can
obtain one for examination moment be-
fore the polls open. This year the tickets
were brought and left in the hall outside
after $50 o'clock. or course II the sched-
uIe that has been made up does not SUIT
the voter, he has a chance to scratch 1t
then, but the names he substitutes may
not be the same in any particular as those
some one else substitutes and as plural
ity elects the chances are a hundred To one
that the printed ticket will go through
without change. The polls are left open a
short time only and before the voters can
cOngTegate from distant portions OF tue
town the business is finished and the
meeting adjourned.
II was not the makeup Of the ticket, but
the system itself, against which a protest
was raised. OF course the resolution Of
iered by MIR. Morrow has no binding Ell
feet, but it is not believed that 20 voters
can be found next year who will petition
for long ticket in the face Of the mani
fest sentiment of the town. II they DO,
they can expect that the town will know
their identity and this paper will see that
their names are published.
Some OF those who took an active part in
circulating the petition this year and in
making up the ticket made haste TO deny
any connection with IL as soon as they
saw the trend. The whole system is de-
cidedly unpopular and seems destined to
a timely end, so far as this town is con-
cerned.
