RECOUNT NOT LIKELY.
CANDIDATE HANsCOM Salts
FLED OF HIS DEFEAT.
BALLOTS OF EDEN AND ELLSWORTH
ExAMINED--vorERs MAKE Curl
GUS MISTAKES.

Tie closeness OF the vote for sheriff at
the election last week naturally led to
not little talk all over Hancock county
as TO the probabilities OF recount.
When the last OF the returns came in II
appeared that Howard T.. whiteomb,
republican candidate for sheriff. led his
strongest competitor. Rev. 8. l.. Hanseom,
the enforcement of-lsw candidate, by
only seventy-two votes.
Tn. situation was made more interest,"
ing by reason OF the rumor that Irregular
tiles In two OF Eilsworth's i've wards
might result In the throwing out alto
gether OF the votes OF those two wards, in
which whitcomb received IFS votes.
On Monday Mr.. Hsnscom, accompanied
by counsel. Judge b. e. Clark, Of Bar
Hsrbor, came to Ellsworth. for the pur-
pose of inspecting the ballots cast here,
and al O'Clock the inspection began.
Sheriff wnitcomb was present with coun-
sci, A. w. King, and so also were Mayor
Greedy, Alderman Stuart, Y. c. Burriii and
City Clerk Wymsn.
Tue inspection was not concluded un-
I'll after o'clock. The net result OF Ii ali
was an sppsrent loss OF two votes for
wnitcomb, and OF two votes for Hans-
com.
AT the conclusion OF the count Mr..
Hanscom expressed himself as satisfied
With tho result In this city. Hewss told OF
the nstare OF the alleged informalities In
wards 8 and 4, and said that he had no In
tention at present OF contesting the legal
ity Of the election In these wards.
Among the ballots thrown out by the
various ward officers as defective, bat one
was found which Mr.. Hanscom thought
ought to have been counted for him.
This ballot inspection showed some curl
Gus errors on the part of voters, One
man, instead OF making q cross In this
square over the party name, wrote In his
own name. Several ballots we're thrown
with no mark at ali In any Of the squares
above the party name. In one case tn,
voter, evidently wanting to split hi'
ticket. marked crosses In two OF this
squares.
The most common error was the past
ieg OF ssicSers over a candidates name in
stead of erssiug II and putting the stick
o, In the space imme diately under tn,
name erased.
MIR. Hsnscom said that the inspection
OF the Eden ba lots disclosed at least four
teen OF the seveuty.oue ballots thrown
out a. defective, that ought to have beer
counted for him.
He said further that he intended to in
spect the ballots OF other towns in the
county, and n he found sufficient ground
for 40 doing, he should ask for an oifieis
recount. But what he had found al
Eden aud Ellsworth would not, he said
Justify him IN making the demand.

Some talk has been heard about con-
tests aud recounts In several representa-
tive districts-in Eden, Ellswt rth, on
nington--Deer Isle class towns and the
southeastern class towns. In ell these
the msIorities were very small, but, so far
as can be learned from reliable sources,
no action Is likely to be taken.
Official returns from Long Island aud
Isle au Haut we're not received at this office
until after the paper went to press last
Wednesday. The table OF the returns is
reprinted this week with the figures from
these towns added. Errors, 20 far rs they
bavs been discovered, have been corrected,
aud the table a. It appears this week Is
sn ostsntiaiiy correct.

girl, though only Is years of age, was
pretty, so Goblet spoke to her. learned
her name. and the same evening called
upon her parents and said he would

This is probably the origin of the
expression, This is SO student" which
blushing maidens have made use OF

The parents Of the girl Informed the

would have to wait until their daugh-
ter was OF a marriageable age.
Accordingly Goblet gave the girl all
