rary Association met in conjunctiou
with the Associated Charities at the
parlors of the library building last
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose Of
taking some steps towards the organ
ization of ladies' hospital associa-
tion. as an auxiliary to the move
ment started some months ago to pro-
cure the establishment of a public
hospital in this city. The meeting.
which was largely attended. was sd-
dressed by DR.. W. T. Little. who ex-
planned wnat it was hoped to accom-
plish for the city by the founding ii
a we'll equipped hospital.
Although unwilling to merge the
library association for the promotion
of the hospital. the ladies expressed
themselves as being heartily in favor
of the proposed institution and prom
ised to aid il in every way. As an
evidence of their willingness to help
the matter along by practical work an
organization was effected to encour-
age the movement, aud committee
of three members appointed to draft .
constitution and by laws. The COM
mittee was instructed to report at the
May meeting. at when time it is ex-
pected the organization will be form

Election In South Canon.

The election in South Canon last
Tuesday Was an extremely quiet af-
fair, only twenty-six votes being cast
Owing to the fact that there was only
one ticket in the field there was no
contest and but few people considered
it necessary to go to the polls. In
South Canon the light is made in the
caucus, after that the candidates have
plain sailing. The newly elected Off
cials are: George z. Trout. mayor /;
W. b. White. j. W Hall. Truman

shal is appointed by the mayor.

The City Election.

In spite Of ihe superb character OF
the weather and the activity OF the
candidates the city election last Tues
day did not attract as many people to
the polls NJ had been expected. and
was, in all respects, an uneventful
affair. Taken as q whole 1t was
triumph for the Reform party, the re
suit indicating that n majority OF the
voters of the city endorse the senti-
meuts set forth in the platform of
that organization. Had the Reform
people been little more aggressive
aud self-reiiant they might have ac-
complished more. but. without la
menting what might have been,
they have abundant reason to feel
gratified with the result. Ii was
quiet, we'll ordered election and was
highly complimentary to the capacity
of the voters of Canon City for the
management of their municipal af-
fAirs.
The principal contest was for the
city marshnlship. in which total OF

The thief stole con- siderable property belonging to Mir. Kellner, besides this $3600.

If this is done the school will then be opened on December first, as the proclama- tion has to be published for thirty days before the institution can be opened. Superintendent O'Brien will be on hand to attend the meeting.

A Breach Of Promise Case.

Two sensational lawsuits were filed
in the circuit court at Hagerstown on
Friday last against William c. Byron,
of the tannery firm of W. D. Byron &
Sons, Williamaport. Each suit is for
$4,000. One is brought by Miss
Edith Lowe, of Boston, for alleged
breach of promise. The other is
brought by her father, Thomas G.
Lowe, and is for alleged seduction.
Miss loves stepmother, Mrs. Thomas
G. Lowe, is sister of Mrs. w. D. By
ron, mother Of William c. Byron, the
defendant.
The declarations in the suits allege
that Byron promised to marry Miss
Lowe, but never did so chat she was
a guest in the house of W. D. Byron,
Williamsport, with whom defendant
lives, in June, 1901; that he seduced
her when she was visiting the family ;
that child was born to her on March
7, 1902.
Miss Lowe is % years old and e1-
ceedingly attractive. Mrs. Lowe, her
stepdaughter and child. accompanied
by her attorney, c. S. Andrews, of
New York, arrived in HaQerstown
Wednesday afternoon and stopped at
the Hotel Hamilton. Mr.. Andrews
paid the Byron family in Williamsport
visit with the hope of inducing the
defendant to marry Miss Lowe and
thus legitimatize the child. The family
consented to an interview, but when
Mr.. Andrews and the ladies were
within mile Of the Byron home they
were met by the defendants father
and his brother and informed that an
interview would not be granted them.
The parties returned to Hsger,town
and instituted the suits.

Trouble Over the Jail.

The question as to who will beJaiier
of jefferson county is causing as much
excitement in Charles Town as the
great porch question created in Shep-
6erdstown last year. When Sheriff
ID. Billmyer took Office last year he
appointed Robert H. Phillips county
taller. About March IS Mr.. Billmyer
notified Mr.. Phillips that he wanted
the Jail April l, claiming it had not
been run properly. When April l
came Mr.. Phillips refused to vacate'
claiming he had been appointed by
Mr.. Billmyer for the four years COM
mencing January l, 1901, and had be-
sides helped to elect the ticket at the
primary election in May, 1900, and
had entered into contract for the four
years. Mr.. Phillips refused to vacate
the Jail and also refused to give up the
keys April l.
Last Thursday during the absence
of the taller Mr.. Bllmyer and two
deputy sheriffs went to the Jail, re-
moved the old locks and put on new
ones, and he now holds the keys. Mr..
Billmyer also swore out warrant for
Mr.. Phillips for resisting him, and
Justice Gallaher held him for the
grand jury.
Sheriff Billmyer informed US yes
terday that the matter would be ami
cably settled. Mr.. Phillips has agreed
to move peaceably, and will take his
household goods from the jail dwell
ing as soon as he can get into another
residence. Mr.. Billmyer has appoint
ed Deputy Sheriff Burns jailer, and he
is now in possession. There were
lively times for a few days, but it is
thought that the trouble has blown
over.
