and superintendent, by ayoung woman
sitting on his lap, violently collided
with his, the plaintiffs sleigh, and

basis, DIR. Kane, who lives in Phila-
delphia has brought an action for 81, 600
manages against Darlington, who is a

and negligent manner" and that the
collision smashed his sleigh and injured
his horse. He thinks Darlington ought
to be made to pay because of his Galore

JAMES HAYES, colored, declared at
Newport News Wednesday that the negro
is the balance of power and will take part
in the next presidential election. The
negro certainly holds the balance OF
power in some of the northern and
western States and is in a position to
dictate terms to the republicans. This
is fully appreciated by Mr.. Roosevelt
who appoints negroes to prominent posi-
tons in the South that he may win the
favor of the colored brother in the
North

INSTALLING NEW SYSTEM.
Telephone Company Making Changes in
Arrangement of Local Department.

A gang of men from Newark are at
work about town changing the present
N. Y. & N. J. Telephone system to
what is known as the "72 selected
system By this new system it is
believed that the constant ringing of
the telephone bell wherever there is
an instrument, will be eliminated for
the bell will not ring on any call ex-
cept the number of the instrument.
AS it is now any call on a party
wire will ring all bells on that wire.
This will save much of the annoyance
of constant changing bell.
The force of operators at the tele-
phone exchange has been changed,
Miss Grace Merrill, this city, except
ed. Miss M. Ward, of Washington
street, and the Misses Mabel and
Josephine Finter, of Newark, are the
new operators.

Governor Brodie has accepted the invitation to visit Douglas on July 4th. He will deliver an address during the forenoon ef that day. Governor Brodie honored Bisbee with visit on the occasion of our Fourth of July celebration last year. Bisbee will expect a visit from Governor Brodie while he is in this part of the territory and our people will be disappointed should the executive fail to put in an appearance here.
