THERE were not any offices to be given
out at the Republican convention on Sat
urday, hence there was not the scramble
to serve as delegate that has characterized
other meetings of that nature. AS a re-
suit the personnel of the convention
was far above the average, and the hope
was expressed that there might be less
contest in the future if it would insure
the same class of delegates. The com
mittee in charge of the proposed change
of rules had worked diligently to present
set which would meet approval. but af-
ter a careful examination of their work it
is rather difficult to see where any radical
change has been made. The only import
ant suggestion was that to hold separate
conventions The delegates present were
not inclined to accept this recommends
ton as final, and recess was taken to
consider the advisability of adopting the
Crawford County system. There were
good arguments pro and con on this ques-
ton, and it is hard to surmise what the
outcome would have been had vote
been taken. Some parts of the discussion
were quite amusing, especially by the
third ward politician from Bordentown,
who thought the matter of nominations
is safer in the hands of few leaders than
under the control of the people. The gen.
eral impression prevailed, however. that
there is quite distinction between lead
ers" and bosses, /" and that the former
did not have much show in the selection
of delegates, and the idea was also freely
expressed that recent actions of so-called
leaders had not been beneficial to the
party in this county. The argument in
behalf of leaders" did more to benefit
the suggestion in favor of the Crawford
county system than any other offered.

In response to a request of the con

In response to request of the COM
mittee appointed to consider the question
of building a new insane asylum for this
county, clerk White has called a special
meeting of the Board of Freeholders to
hear the report and to settle upon site
for the building. At a recent meeting of
the Board the committee was instructed to
select some suitable place to be approved
by the Board, " and after looking at sever
al places decided to advertise for bids for
the erection Of building on three places
So, when the special meeting gets to-
gether there will be a scramble and a
tussle by the advocates of the different
places. 1t is reported the committee will
still adhere to the original proposition to
build on the county farm at New Lisbon
and from the expressions from all parts of
the county on this subject there is little
doubt that site would be selected if the
matter were left to a popular vote Cum
berland county has just accepted its asy-
lum, the cost of which was $S3, 1851. 81,
not including the furnishing, which will
require 81, O00.or 81, 500 more. The esti-
mate given by the committee on that plant
is not at our command, hence we are not
able to compare the cost with the estimate.

LARGE INDUSTRY WANTS
TO LOCATE IN SMYRNA
CAN GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO ONE HUNDRFD
MEN AND BOYS.
Factory and Power Have Already Been Con-
ditiOnally Offered and it Remains For
Our Citizens to do Their Part.

There is an opportunity TO secure
lor our town an industry which will
operate continuously and it is said
VIII employ about one hundred men
and as many boys. The business re-
1erred to Is now operating one factory
and needs another to supply the de-
mand. There is no doubt that we
need some kind of a business to en-
ploy men. The shirt, hosiery and
overall factories can supply work to
more women and girls. Families
would locate here if the men could oct
work. This industry is not an exper-
mental one, and should be profitable.
what inducements will be necessary
TO secure to us this plant is not vet
known, but if our people are desirous
OF meeting the manager. who will
come here, we are invited to send
representative or a committee TO Now
York to fully examine into the matter
and II this committee is satisfied the
manager will come here and more fuIlv
go INTO the details and explain what
VIII be required of us to have them
locate here. 1t would seem that this
was of sufficient importance to com.
mand the attention of our merchants
and others interested in the develon-
ment of the town.
Further details can be had by apply
ing to this office. The plant can be in
operation in sixty days if satisfactory
arrangements can be made. A suit-
able building with engine and boiler
has been offered rent free for one year
under certain conditions.
1t now remains to be seen how much
interest our people will take towards
securing new industry that will en-
ploy men.

FIRE ALARMS CALL OUT
SMYRNA HOSE COMPANY
FIRST EXCITEMENT OF ITS KIND EXpE.
RIENCED IN SEVERAL MONTHS.
Inc Ice House of Frank Reiman Burned TO the
urOund Early Sunday Morning
Alarm at Peeky's Residence.

The first alarm of fire that has been
given in Smyrna for several months
called the Hose Company out Sunday
morning about $50 O'Clock to the
vicinity of the Smyrna Railroad Sta
ton. Fire had started in disused ice
house which Frank Reiman had
erected III one of his business vagaries
eight or ten years ago. The Hose
Company responded quickly to the
alarm and soon had it under control.
Ihe warehouse of Cosgriff & Beck di-
fectIy adjoining the old ice house was
IN serious danger, and helping hands
were soon at work clearing it of the
contents of peach baskets, &c. Had
the flames gotten control of this buiId-
mg,acccess would have been easy to the
Freight House of the p. w. q B. Rail
road and several freight cars. For
tunately the weather was calm and as
the Hose Company arrived upon the
scene OF confagration, they had little
or no trouble in extinguishing the
flames.
For sometime Remnants ice House
has been vacant and naturally was
made the loafing place of MANY bows
and young men, and there seemed no
regret at seeing it go down so other
property was not in danger. The door
was always open and anv one who
wanted to enter it could do so. The
supposition is that tramps bad been
sleeping there, or it was carelessness IN
the use of matches or candles bv the
youthful gamblers. Loss about 300
no insurance. Cosgriff e. Beck had a
loss OF $25 on their property. which
was insured.
Monday at 23O O'Clock an ont strnc-
ture IN the rear of the residence Of
Mrs. Il. II. Peaky on upper Commerce
street was discovered in full flames
and produced quite a scarce in the in
mediate neighborhood. The alarm
Dell was wrung and the Hose Com
pany was there in few minutes. b;t
fortunately by vigorous application
OF water by the neighbors, the fire
was extinguished by the time thew cot
there, and there was nothing for them
to do. Mrs. Peeky had gone to the
store of her daughter about ten min
utes before, and is unable to account
for the fire. 1t was thought at first #
might have caught from ashes, but none
she said had been emptied that dav
and there was no evidence of ashes
about the building.

CANNING FACTORIES VERY ACTIVE.
But the Rest of the Season the Tomato Yield
VIII be Getting Smaller Each Day.

The canning season, as was expected,
VIII be short this year. The season
was week or two later in starting,
but when it did come, it was with
rush. For the three weeks ending
with Friday the Counselman factory
at the Landing had all it could handle,
and the same up to yesterday has been
the case with the Hoffecker cannery of
this town. Even without frost the
yield from this time on promises to be
small. A chief cause of this is charged
to the drying up of the blossoms by
the hot suns of August. The Counsel
man factory shuts down to-day with
about u, 900 cases.
