The Town Goes Dry Again.

At the annual corporation election
on Monday all the old members ofthe
present town council were again chosen
to fill their respective offices for an
other year, as follows
Mayor-B. F. Harrison.
Recorder. 7. Licklider.
Councilmen-G. T. Hodges, ". n.
Lsmen, VIM. NJ. Sheet, JOS L. Cookus,
J. R. Keyes.
Mr.. HarrisOn's majority for the
mayoralty over his opponent, Mr.. R.
G. Miller, was At, and Mr.. Licklidsr
had 20 majority over Mr.. J. S. Elem
ing for recorder. The total number
of votes cast was 900, against 1872 last
year. On the question Of license or
no license to sell liquor the drys won
by 20 majority. There were 95 votes
for license and 115 against license. So
the town will be without open saloons
for at least one more year. The cleo
ton passed off very quietly, though
the workers for the respective tickets
were very industrious during the day.
The council reelected on Monday gave
a good administration last year, and
we are sure the same may be safely
prophssied for the ensuing term.

A Harper'S Ferry Man Commits Suicide.

HdGpcI'S fClIy Vldi COlluiitS SuISiuS'
Michael B. Daley, twenty-one years
old, son of Mayor Joseph Daley, Of
Harpers Ferry, committed suicide
Wednesday night Of last week by
taking strychnine on a Norfolk and
Washington steamboat. Daley had
gone to Portsmouth, Va, where he in
tended to enlist in the navy. He
failed to pass the examination and it
is said that he was informed that he
had heart trouble. Apparently this
preyed upon his mind and he resolved
to kill himself. A small bottle that
contained strychnine was found in his
stateroom and led to the conclusion
that this poison had been taken. He
left Harper's Ferry on Tuesday and
after a short stay in Washington went
to Portsmouth. He had a sister living
in Brooklyn, whose husband is a gun
ner on the cruiser Brooklyn. His
relatives at Harper's Ferry were no.
titled of his death and the body re-
moved there for interment. The fu-
neral took place on Sunday.
