Election Cases Dismissed.

Those tiresome contested election
cases, which have been pending in
the Circuit Court for several weary
months, were dismissed Tuesday
afternoon, and the citizens of the
county will breathe a sigh of relief
at the announcement. Counsel for
the contestants deemed dismissal
the best plan to pursue.
The court ordered an examina-
ton of all the ballots cast at the
recent election upon petition of the
contestants and the same was in
progress. The Republicans gained
in the First district, but lost heav-
lily in the Second and Fifth districts,
the latter being a strong Repub-
lican district. 1t is generally con-
coded that a recount would have
materially increased the majority
of the democrats whose offices
were being contested for. The con-
tests were brought by Homard
Terry, Robert L. Christie and Geo.
r. Spence, Republican candidates
at the last election for the offices of
Sheriff, county commissioner and
treasurer, respectively.

was reopened on Sunday with ap-
propriate all-day services. The
main auditorium of the church has
been closed to the public since
early in the summer, pending eX-
tensive refittings, and since that

been handsomely frescoed, acety-
lene gas for lighting and steam
heating apparatuses installed, the
windows replaced by twelve beauti-
full memorial ones, by private parties
and the various societies connected
with the church, and other improve
ments made which have transform
ed the interior of the edifice to one
