A few days ago a second ticket was
selected to run with T. H. Smith. as
president. Mr.. Smith is out of the city,
and Secretary Slime notified him by wire
of what some of his friends had done.
He at once sent back word that he would
not make the race. and following his re-
fusal all others on the anti-administra-
ton ticket declined to make the run ex-
cept Mr.. Gedney. He remained in the
fight and won, which led a number of
members of the club to remark that If
Secretary Slime had not put himself to
the trouble of wiring Mr.. Smith, several
others on the same ticket as Mr.. Gedney
would likewise have been elected.
The balloting began during the after
noon and continued until after 10 o'clock,
when the polls were closed, and the result
announced to a gathering Of club mem
ber5 who listened with interest to the
names Of the new officers as they were
read by Secretary Slime.

gain in the receipts of 81 900 over the pre-
ceding year. The net maintenance of

chased; $4,000 was invested in per cent
bonds, all vouchers were paid, leaving a
balance in the bank Of 81, 200 The men,
bership has increased 500.
|, Following the announcement of the re-
suit of the balloting was a season of
speech-making. Mr. Condo Hamlin,
the retiring president, formally turned the
office over to his successor, Mr.. Pruden.
The latter responded with a felicitOus
talk upon the club, and also expressed
warm appreciation for the honor confer
red in his election.
Vice President Boardman did not waste
words, but spoke to the point, asserting
| that he considered it a distinctive honor
! to be selected as an officer of the most
progressive and aggressive organization
in the city.
Second Vice President c. B. Gedney also
! thanked his associates for his election.
Three cheers were given for Mr. Hamlin
and the retiring officers, and the same
ovation rendered the newly elected of
| f1ers

had declared Mrs. Wallace Curry from
the witness stand in the municipal court
yesterday, as she related what had tran
spired in a row she and her husband
had had with Max Bercovitz, a peddler,
at the Curry home, SIG Cedar street. as
a result of which both Mr.. and Mrs.
Curry we're arrested on the charge Of as
sault and battery. Mrs. Curry flashed an
angry glance at the complaining witness
behind Prosecuting Attorney Finehout,
evidently meaning what she said.
The Currys bought a barrel of apples
from Bercovitz. Mr.. Curry claimed the
apples were not as represented and he de-
clined to pay the peddler claiming he
had also received short measure from
BercovitZ in other purchases. An argu-
ment followed, when Curry put the ped
der out of his house. Mrs. Curry took
hand in the proceedings, she says, when
the peddler cast imputations upon her
husbands honesty, and catching Ber-
covitz by the collar dragged him back
into the yard, threatening if he repeated
the assertion to thrash him.
Judge Hire took the case under con-
sideratiOn.
