NEW CARS RECEIVED !
Marietta Electric Co. Increases Its FaClII-
ties for Transportation.

The Marietta Electric Company re.
ceived four new cars over the Penn
sylvania Lines yesterday. The cars
are the usual closed winter style which
Is now being used on the company
line. They were made by Barney &
Smith, of Toledo, the firm from which
the other closed cars were purchased.
Several of the old cars will probably
be put in the shops and the new cars
will be used in their place. When the
tracks are completed and the service
perfected at least two cars will be
needed on the West Side.
The work on the new car barn and
power house in the Norwood Addition
is progressing rapidly and the building
will be ready for occupancy in several
weeks.
The tracks which cross the country
road at this point have been paved,
thus making the crossing much easier
for teamsters and tending to keen the
frogs of the switches freer' from dir.
1t is expected that the department of
the electrical station devoted to the
generation of electricity for lighting
purposes will be in operation by next

district, the state of Ohio, and the
United States with one of the most
promising aspects for the Republican
party that it has ever had
The result of the Republican vote in
the county promises TO be most graft

hopes in the success of the Republican
cause. The Republican meetings
throughout the county have been at
tended by large and enthusiastic
crowds. From every precinct comes
most encouraging reports. The coun-
ty will poll an unusually large Repub-
lican vote. The congressional district
is safely Republican, and the Repub-
lcan majority will in all probability
exceed that of two years ago, when so
great an effort was made by the Dem
ocrats to capture the district.
The state is going to roll up one of
those immense Republican majorities

Ohio every few years. The result of
the national campaign will be some
thing that will gladden. the hearts of
The millions of true and earnest Repub-
leans of the nation.

RIVER BREVITIES
Pungent Paragraphs of Interest 10 River
Men From Wharf and Bank.

The river has reached such a stage
that even the proprietors and captains
of the small river craft have become
disguised and abandoned their boats,
| thinking that wheelborrow line to
and from various places along what
was once the broad and navigable
river would be more satisfactory and
more profitable than the present meth
DDS of forcing the steamers over bars
and shadows.
The Calhoun, which has been run
Ming from New Matamoras to Wheel
ing has been taken to Parkersburg,
where she will be abandoned by her
proprietors, Captains Merrill and Hall.
The Telephone, on her return trip
from Wheeling, reached Sardis, but
was compelled to tie UP because she
could not get enough men to form
crew.
The Harry passed up the river to-
day with a good trip. This boat enjoys
the unique distinction of being the
only boat afioat and running on the
river between Parkersburg and Wheel
ing .s.g -
The Jewel will enter 81 the Newport
and Wheeling trade.
The stage at the wharf is at present
2.9 feet with the river about on
stand.
The Goebel has been sold by her
owner, Capt. Duffey, to Price, the
Snowman. He will use her in towing
his boat on which he has his show.

CROKER'S RECORD.

Mr.. Croker continues to advocate the
use of violence at the polls, and said
today that he was grateful to Senator
Jones for indorsing what he said on
marks are being used with great eff
feet by the Republican campaigners
upon a class Of men who approve of
Bryan, but do not approve of Croker
And their arguments are strengthened
by recalling the fact that Mr.. Croker
was tried for the murder of John Nc
Kenna at polling booth in the Twen-
ty-first Ward of New York at the cleo
tion of 1874. Croker was then a dis
trict leader of Tammany and the head
of what was known as the Fourth av-
enue tunnel gang" A dispute having
arisen as to the right of a certain man
to vote. Mr.. Croker assaulted James
Moore with a slungshot, knocking him
down and kicking him, which result
ed in a free fight and the death of
John McKenna, whose last words
were, "Dick Croker shot me-" Croker
was arrested, indicted, confined in the
Tombs for nearly year in company
with Edward S. Stokes, who shot Fisk
about the same time. and tried for
murder. The jury disagreed, he was
released on bail, and, through political
influence, the indictment was nolle
prossed.-W. E. Curtis in Chicago

Look out for campaign lies. There
never was campaign in which candi-
dates were not viciously and falsely
attacked in the eleventh hour. The
voter will do we'll to ignore any story

ways stand the light of investigation,

Information comes from a reliable
source that the Democrats have a
scheme by which they hope to get Re-
publican voters to use blue pencils in
marking their ballots. The law speci-
fically says that black pencils must be
used, so the voter will do well to be
on his guard.
