MAGISTRATES ELECTION
FOR THUNDERBOLT.

Opposing Candidates Agree Upon
Managers In Absence of Ordinary.
]. K. Frederick and H. ]. Founder,
who are candidates for the office of
magistrate of the Fifth district, met
yesterday morning in the Court of Or
binary and in the absence of Judge
McAlpin agreed upon two managers
for the election which will take place
Saturday. They decided that each
name one manager and permit the two
men chosen to select their associate.
1t has since developed that there
are others who may make the race
for magistrate, and there may be in
teresting developments. The statute
provides that in the absence of the
Ordinary three legal voters may hold
the election. The officers named by
the two candidates referred to may
not prove satisfactory if there are other
candidates, and in that case they
might take 1t upon themselves to APP
point managers of their own, and the
first manager to reach the grounds
would hold the election.
Candidate Frederick named E. v.
Toomer, and Mr.. Founder named
George Howe. These two gentlemen
have not yet selected the third man,
but will likely do so sometime to-day.
If complications arise it is likely that
the election will be postponed until
Ordinary McAlpin returns and can
name the board himself.

Considerable disappointment was
felt by the Kings Daughters of the

element weather made it necessary to
postpone the exercises in connection
with the laying of the cornerstone of
the Day Nursery and Children's

gramme as announced was not aban-
doned until nearly 2 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, the committee of ladies which
had the matter in charge and the
workmen who were busy getting
things in readiness remaining on the
grounds until 1870 O'Clock.
There being no signs of an abate-
ment in the rain at that hour the la
dies decided to postpone the exercises,
especially as this occasion was to be
the first appearance of the children Of
the home in public and the dampness
would have necessitated the doing
away with this feature, even If the
other features of the programme had
been carried out as announced.

pone the ceremonies word was sent to
