Crawford County Caucus.

The atmosphere that was thick with
political birthstone Saturday last, has
cleared somewhat, and now the result Of
the battle of the factions is history; not
final and complete history, bat only up to
the point of caucus dictation as to two
candidates and County Clerk.
AS told last week there was no contest for
Assembly, and D. O. Watkins got his
honors hands down. But the surprising
page of Crawford county history is written
and deals with the nomination of County
Clerk Frank B. Ridgway. It has been
known throughout the county for year
that Mr.. Ridgway was not to be renomi-
mated, and the reasons why have been so
often repeated during the past two months
that we will be excused from printing
them now.
Let it suffice for this time to say that
the reasons why he should not be nomi-
mated for another term were sufficient to
have retired him from the contest. But he
stayed in and has won the contest by a
majority OF twelve votes out of poll Of
37O6.
By what means he won is not worth dis
cnssing now either. He got twelve more
votes than his opponent by the means he
saw fit to employ, aud was declared the
nominee by the Crawford county executive
committee last Tuesday.
The party at large is not satisfied with
its candidate for County Clerk-under the
circumstances it cannot be satisfied; be-
cause the fact of his having received twelve
votes more than his opponent does not
wipe ont the reasons for his defeat adj
yanced by the supporters of Mr.. Burrows.
They stand yet and will always be just as
forceful as they were last Saturday.
There was no nomination for Coroner, as
none of the three candidates, Drs. I. Earle
Budd, DR.. James Hunter, Jr., nor Chas. F,
Moffett received majority of all the votes
cast. The county committee canYassed
the vote on Tuesday, and after declaring
the nominees as stated above, ordered a
new election on Coroner, dropping the
name of Mr.. Moffett who received the
smallest number of votes. The vote of the
county on the various candidates follows

Obituary.

The body Of Gibbon g.. Lloyd the Glass
boro baker aud confectioner, was discover
ed in Reeves mill pond Saturday by DIR
Luff barry and his 12-year-old son, who
had gone there fishing. The body was in
an upright position, as though the unfortu'
nate man had walked in beyond his depth
and his feet sticking in the soft earth had
held the body perpendicular.
Mr.. Lloyd left home last Friday, but
was supposed to be about the town. In
quiry was made for him when he did moi
come home at usual hour, but no alarm
was felt. At night when he did not re-
turn search was instituted which was in
progress when the body was accidentally
discovered.
Mr.. Lloyd was in his 77th year, but had
been bright and active until about five
years ago, when he was run down by q
train while crossing the tracks at tllass-
boro. His sister was killed and himself SO
badly shocked that his nervous system was
never restored to its normal condltion, yer
he kept close to business and gave every
department his personal attention.
Mr.. Lloyd came from Philadelphia to
this county early in the eos, settling in
WilIiamstown, where he established the
bakery business. Later he removed to
Glassboro, and built up an extensive con-
fectionery and ice cream business in con-
nection with the bakery business Mr..
Lloyd was honorable and honest in all his
dealings, and leaves his family of adult
children legacy of an honorable, upright
life.
The impression is that Mr.. Lloyd walk
ed into the pond while temporarily insane,
and the Coroner's jury rendered vedict
on that belief.
