SPECIAL

At the meeting of the common
council Wednesday evening that
body ordered a special election in
the Fourth ward for the purpose of

cancy caused by the resignation of
Peter Shipley from the board. This

this issue, will be held on Monday
September 10th, at the office of the
Ironwood House. Alfred Burke and
A. E. Dunsmore are said to be the
prospective candidates. The name

as follows: Virginia Hardware Co.,
1915; Fitzgerald & Norris. 1887; Alex
Sang, $1515; James Sampson, $1,000;
