the damage to tho wagon was not
very great, but the runaway created
a sensation while 1t lasted.

There was some talk about town yes
terday to the effect that the incum-
bent county treasurer holds over dur
ing the pendency of an election contest
for that office
For the sake of those who might be
misled by the street talk. it would be
we'll to state that there is no fOunda-
tion whatever for the rumor.
Every man who on the face of the
official returns is elected takes his Of
flee Notwithstanding a contest. Before
1889 this was not the case with Of
fees commissioned by the governor,
such as prothonotary, sheriff, clerk of
the courts, etc. They could not quail
ify until they received their commits
sions and the commissions could not
issue under act of assembly if con-
test for the office was regularly insti~
tuted. The act of 1889, presented by
Hon. John r. Kelly in the house and
fOStercd i'm the senate by Hon. NJ. f.,
Mcdonald. changed all this, and now
the governor is authorized and direct
eu to commission the man elected on
the face of the returns.
The general law affecting succession
in the treasurCrS office simply says:
Shall hold office until his successor is
duly qualified" To qualify Il treasurer
