Election day is at hand but not
much local interest centres in it. The
contest is too one-sided. Republicans
Will go out and vote the ticket as a
matter Of course. Stay-at-home demo-
Gratis will outnumber those who go
to the polls, The democrats are inter
ested in one or two candidates. Most
democrats would like to see Clinton
give William H. Fay, nominee for SEN
ator from the fourth Worcester dis
| trict, good vote.
Matthew B. Lamb of Worcester,
democratic candidate for sheriff, will
get q, good vote. Some of the demo-
cratic leaders are making special effort
in his behalf Mr.. Lamb is exceeding
ly popular here with the friends of the
soldiers. 1t was largely by his effort
that the bills incurred in bringing the
members of Company K home from
Montauk in suitable cars, are to be
paid by the state. Republicans hazard
the opinion that C. G. Bancroft will
use his strength against ex-Mayor
Harrington of Worcester and for At
| torney Fay. This is doubtful, but it is
the only circumstance of interest on
! the republican side of the house.

| A courageous teamster faced an en-
ergency boldly this morning and came
| safely through what promised to. be a
! serious serape.
He was coming down Chestnut hill
with a load of 65 foot rails for the Clin-
| ton and Worcester Railway, drawn by
four horses. One of the leaders be-
/ came unhitched and frightened. 1t be-
| gan to run and the other horse to fol-
! low. There was no brake on the front
wheels and it was about 80 feet be-
| tween the front and the rear wheels.
| At the foot of the hill was the bridge,
and a steep pitch into the bed of the
/ Nashua river. 1t seemed certain that
! horses and rails must go over the
| string pieces, when TIE driver, nothing
| daunted, with a. sharp jerk on the
reins, brought the neads of the lead
ers toward Green street, and the heads
| of the pole horses in an almost opposite
direction, so that they pulled against
each other. The rush of the heavy load
was checked and a safe stoppage made,
! to the intense relief of the occupants
| of the four or five other vehicles in the
! immediate vicinity. The name Of the
/ driver could not be ascertained.

removed from the neighborhood of the
North dixie. There will be no more
night work at this point.
