Primary Meeting.

BY reference to the call published
in another column of this journal i
Will be noticed that Chairman jaime,
Y. Peddicord has called the primarie.
for Friday tomorrow at which time
it is hoped full vote of the Republi
can party will be cast electing the
delegates to the county convention
which is to convene in Oakland on
Tuesday next.
The fight for the places on the tick.
ct has been carried on in a bold, ag.
gressive manner by the various candi.
dates, the main interests centering
around the offices of Senator and
Connty Treasurer.
The latest avowed candidate fo1
Senatorial honors is DR.. Il. A. Raven
scroft. who has been making a still
nJint in the lower districts. This will
be the cause of making matters more
complicated. Senator Ravenscroft
up to three weeks ago, declined to
state whether or not he was an aspir-
ant for denomination, although at
that time he was looked upon as
being in the fight.
The other candidates are Messrs.
John Shartzer and A. f. Geoage. Mr..
Shartzer is confident of securing the
nomination over both opponents and
Mr.. George is equally as sure.
Mr.. j. S. Meyers is making a fight
for the Treasurership, as is also Messrs.
Mahlon Glotfelty, James w. White,
A. G. Ross, Horace R. Dewitt and one
or two others who are not making
much noise but saving wood.
Tuesdays convention promises to
be quite lively but when the nomina-
tions are made we feel sure that all
will be harmony in the ranks of the
party and that the full ticket will be
elected by good majorities. TO that
end we pledge our best endeavOrs.

The number of accidents that occur
annually on the various railway cross
ings is appalling, and it is, in this pres
ent age of civilization and invention a
surprising thing that this condition of
affairs should be allowed to continue.
In this connection we are glad to see
that a step has been taken by the En-
glish Great Northern Railway Com
pany with view Of preventing the sac
rifice of human life. AS preventive
of accidents which daily occur on the
railway crossings, the authorities of
the Great Northern Railway Company
have for some months past been test
ing novel method of warning the pub
lie by means Of neatly contrived
mechanism. When an approaching
train is within mile and a quarter
of the crossing, the weight of the en-
CINE passing over certain spot moves
a mechanical device, thus causing
bell fixed at the crossing to ring con-
tinuously until the train has passed.
The method has so far worked salts
factorily. In the interests of humanity
we wish this all success.
