The Messrs Cylmer, Third and Orange
streets, have been making inquiries In re-
gard to the construction of horseless
wagons, but thus far they cannot see that
the demand for these vehicles will be such
as to render the enterprise profitable for
sometime to come. They say that great
improvements must be made in the roads
and also in many Of our streets, before
these vehicles can be safely used. Our
citizens generally are not prepared to put
the roads in the condition of the thorough
fares In Europe and until change Is
made horseless wagons cannot be success
fully operated The time is not far dis
tant, however, when our roads viii! be
greatly improved and the mode Of travel
ing may then be completely revolutionized.
Great advances have been made In our
country in every utilitarian project, and
we do not believe our countryman will
allow Europeans to leave them far in the
rear in this or any other mode of pro-
pulson. II the labor Of tho tramps in
our prisons could be properly utilized
great advance could be made in road i'm
provement at comparatively little cost.
We hope that tho Messrs. Clymer will be
prepared to take advantage Of the COM
ming revolution in travels and that their
efforts to keep peace with tho times will
be liberty rewarded.

riot, in which four men, Messrs. c. G.

man and r. H. Baskies. were shot, and
others held in terror. The trouble grew
out of an election for municipal office,
held two weeks ago, which resulted in q
tie. The town was divided into two bit.
ter factions, and charges Of fraud wa.
freely interchanged between the leaders.
A second election was called for Saturd ay
to decide the contest, in which every voter
was brought up to the polls, not a change
taking place in the political alignments.
thus causing foar Of second tie which
actually was the result.
The leaders of the factions were Charles
l.. Batsment and G. G. Richardson. I'm.
fortunately they approached the polls at
the same moment when personal col
lision took place, in which shooting was
begun Their followers made rush homo
for arms, and In few moments the village
street presented warlike scene. The
telegraph operator, who was lady, aban-
doned her key in terror, and thus for hours
the outside world wab cut off from com.
munication.
The arrival Of the sheriff restored com.
paratlve peace, but at p. III. the trouble
was renewed, and at the ringing Of the
school bell the entire population was once
more In the street. The sheriff succeeded
in establishing his authority, but the feud
now started, and especially since the elec.
ton has to be held over again, is looked
upon as sure to result in further blood.

have laid up their boats for the winter,
The packers complain about tho scarcity

market at present, and ono house could
have handled all the oysters that have
been brought here during the past two
weeks, While local option and variety
of other reasons are advanced by some
oystermen for the dullness in the trade
here, the fact remains that the decline Of
the industry upon which this town was
built up Is due mainly to the exhaustion
of the natural oyster beds in the sounds
