Circuit Court.

Contrary to public expectation, and a
statement appearing in our issue of last
week, the regular May term of the Gus
ter county circuit court failed to con
vene on Tuesday, and was not called
until yesterday. There being a very
light calendar, and it having been
decided to dispense with juries, none
other than court cases will be tried, and
as these cases are limited, it is probable
that an adjournment will be reached
this evening. Proceedings will be re-
ported next week.

The Election

Passed off quietly on Monday. The
placing of the second ticket in the field
for members of the board of education.
under the ~stereotyped caption Of the
school Reform" ticket, created consid-
cradle interest, notably among the
ladies, Over fifty of whom visited the
polls and cast their ballots upon the
issue involved.
There being but one ticket nominated
for town officers, there was but little
interest manifested and O small vote
polled, not to exceed one-fourth of the
voters represented at the polls.
The result Of the contest for school
officers was the election of the entire
citizens ticket except one member of
the board, Mrs. Pauline Odds, a candi-
date upon the reform ticket, being
elected by a majority of two votes to
represent the Fifth district. The officers
elected both town and school, we're well
chosen, and there are good and valid
reasons to believe they will discharge
their official duties to the entire salts.

very creditable, considering the fact Of

weeks. The house was comfortably

have already commenced preparations

should have the hearty support Of every

main silent for two weeks while the
machinery is being overhauled and the
bearings rebabbited. The furnaces will
be turned into a new dust chamber
which has an outlet through the bic
iron stack that has recently been erected,
This stack reaches Isl feet into the all
and is nine feet in diameter. To turn
the furnaces into this chamber will
require the building of new hues. The
smelter has not been out Of blast since
June, 1S94-nearly three years-and tc
contemplate the works in a state o,
idleness after so long constant activity
seems almost unnatural. OF course
numerous repairs have been necessary
from time to time, but only those parts
of the machinery that needed mending
were hung up, without interfering with
the rest Of the plant. 1t is necessary to
repair each furnace every so often, but
this can be done without stopping more
than one furnace at q time. The com
pany has not been buying any ore for
some weeks, in anticipation of the shut
down, and the customers of the plant
have been spared as much as possible.
The skeleton of the new reverberatiye
building is up, and the workmen are
ready to begin upon the sheeting The
building will be about complete by the
time the plant is ready to start again.
