Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-03-24

Today we are holding our an
nual municipal election, and the
people have made the issue
against running saloons and gam
bling places wide open all day on
1 ,nQays. That is the issue, and
the candidates do not seem to be
discussed at all. It's not krt-
and against Hill, but whisGey
or no whiskey selling on Sun
day" Il *
since the people discussed such an
issue in this city. Heretofore, the
whole object with both sides
seemed to be: "Who can poll the
whiskey vote?" The man who
could get the whiskey vote, as it
is called, won.
Last year Mayor Meek polled
333 votes and King 253, Mayor
Meek's majority being 80. The
total vote cast for both Mayors
was 586 votes.
In the First ward King receiv-
ed 62 and Meeks 81 votes, a total
vote for both candidates Of 123
votes.
At II o'clock today over 10
votes had been cast in this ward
and it was the opinion of those
who carefully watched the voters
that Kirkland will have the ma
jority in this ward this year.
In the Second ward last year
104 votes were cast, Meek having
SO to King 35.
In the Third ward 203 votes
were cast last year, Meek having
121 to 80 for King. This ward is
said to be strong for Hill this
year.
In the Fourth ward the total
vote last year was 156, Meek hav.
ing 80 to "a for King. This year
the Republicans concede Hill will
poll a heavy vote in this ward .
$40 votes were polled at noon to,
day.
We have no predictions to
make. A majority of the saloon
men are working hard for kirt,
land, and this fact has caused him
to lose many votes, and if he is
J defeated he can blame it on to his
supporters, for he himself as a
man and candidate is not in issue
at all.
Hill is being voted for by some
three or four saloon men because
they claim they want all saloons
closed on Sunday. While Hill
has many outspoken friends there
is a "quiet vote" this year-men
who are not saying much, but
voting. These are all counted for
Hill, but the result may be diff
ferent.
We feel sure of this much, that
whoever is elected will either curb
the saloons or the people will do
so. The open violation Of the

ELECTION NEWS

laws of our city and State have
about gone to the limit.
But, after all, why rebel? Men
voted today against saloons that
worked like beavers to get them
here; voted for them, endorsed
them in every way they could,
and now want to strangle the
creature they made. We said
when the fight was first on for sa-
looms if allowed here the owners
would run the city and they have
and will. You got just what you
wanted, so grin and bear 1t.
Kirkland S Vote Last Year.
Last election Mr.. Kirkland was
candidate for City Clerk, and
was elected, but afterwards re
signed. He polled 73 in the First
ward, 81 in the Second, 13O in
the Third and 50 III the Fourth,
having a majority Of 12l over
Captain Pine. Lee Frantz had
the largest majority last year
over Belford, his majority being
124, or 8 more than Kirkland had.
They both had majorities in ev-
every ward. Kirtland's majority
the First was %, in the Second 20,
! in the third SO and in the fourth
10 votes.
Election Betting.
There has moi been wrS' much
betting this year on the result OF
the municipal election being held
today. 1t has been reported to us
that money to bet on the election
of Kirkland has been and is still
in abundance, and that his sup
porters are offering great odds on
his being elected. This does not
indicate anything, as men who
will bet at all are always ready
to bet on the man they favor. We
have not heard of any bets being
made.
Illegal Voter.
1t was reported this morning
that an illegal voter was taken to
| the polls but his vote was chal-
lenged, a warrant sworn out for
his arrest, but one of the police
men, assisted by a private citizen
when they went to serve the war
rant the illegal voter ran out of
the city and made his escape. The
men who tried to vote him are the
men to arrest. AS near as it could
be figured out the man had been
here for about a week.
Votes Polled Today.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon 133
votes had been polled in the First
ward, 163 at the Jones hose house,
126 at the Citizens hose house
| and II at the City building-a to-
| tai of 499. At the same hour on
last election day 403 votes had
been cast and the year previous
499 votes, exactly the same num-
Der polled this year. This would
indicate that the total vote this
year will 60 over the 600 mark.

TYBEE BEACH Being
WASHED AWAY
ENCRoACHMENTS OF OCEAN
UPON THE LAND HAVE BECOME
PLAINLY DISCERNIBLE RECENTLY.

Have Taken Away Nearly Quarter Of
Mile of Beach in the Last. Ten
Years-At High Tide Water Is Now
Under Pavilion Mt Hotel Tybee.
Last storm washed Away Break
water I'm Front of HOteI-Beach at
Fort Screven Not Injured-COI.
Quinn Says There Is no Danger OF
InrOHds There at Present-Advanc-
es of the Sea Are Not Regular.
For the last ten years the ocean has
been encroaching upon the land at
Tybee and within the last two years
the effects have become plainly no.
ticeable and the subject of considerable
comment.
The matter was largely discussed
Immediately after the last big storm,
which washed away the small break
water in front of the Hotel Tybee
High tides now reach under the hotel
pavilion. The position of the ropes in
the water also serves to show the
Roadway that has been made by the
tides, having been moved several feet
further in from the position occupied
two years ago.
The maps which are prepared for
use in the United States engineer de-
partment show that the washing away
has extended from the beacon to and
below the Hotel Tybee. In 1897 the
shore-line was nearly a quarter of a
mile farther out than 1t is now, and
the figures show that a quarter of a
mile has been eaten away in ten
years.
If 1t Keeps Up.
Should the ocean continue to make
it's inroads at that rate another decade
would take away some of the houses
on the beach if they are not moved
back. The only way to offset this eat
ing away of the land is by building
a breakwater. It is probable that d
new breakwater will be constructed to
take the place of the old one which
was recently washed away.
The beach at Fort SCreven is unin-
jured, though there has been a slight
encroachment there. Col Quinn, di-
vision chief of engineers, says that
there is absolutely no danger of any
harm being done to the fort and if
there should be the slightest indica-
ton of any, steps will be at once taken
by the government to offset it.
"At the present rate" he said, "the
water may possibly undermine our
batteries in the course of 1000 years.
But you see, there is no immediate
danger of any kind to us, nor do
believe that there is to the island"
EncrOachments Are Not Regular.
The encroachments made by the sea
upon the land are not at all regular
and no prediction can be made as to
the rapidity of the eating away pro-
cess. Some years great Roadway is
made and then there is no progress for
some years.
1t is probable that the sand which
has been washed away along the beach
has been deposited further down. Ow-
| ing to the fact that there are no sur
veys of this part, however ii cannot
| be positively stated whether such has
| been the case.
This morning Col. Quinn will go to
Fernandina to inspect the work that
has been going on there. Some months
ago the Morning News gave an ac-
count of the inroads that were being
made at Cumberland sound by the sea
and the steps taken by the government
to check it. This work will be inspect
ed by Col. Quinn while on this trip.

e. G. Thomson, of Southern, Has
Returned from Worlds Fair.
Last week the assistant passenger
agents and travelling agents of the
Southern were entertained by that
road at ST. Louis for the purpose OF
familiarizing them with the exposition
so they could be more able to direct
prospective visitors.
In going to the meeting each repre-
sentative of the road chose that route
over which he proposed to sell the most
tickets.
Mr.. Edward G.. Thomson. city tick
ct and passenger agent of the road
was in the party. In going from Sa-
vannah he Travelled entirely over the
Southerns lines, over which they OPP
crate a through sleeper.
Mr.. Thomson was very much i'm
pressed with the exposition and stated
that it was much nearer completed
than he had anticipate from reports
current. He thought that the show was
50 per cent. ready.
1.-THE Georgia building will be OPEN
ed tomorrow" said Mr.. Thomson.
Savannah is better represented than
any other city. The chief attraction
is the huge statue of King Cotton,
dressed entirely in raw cotton of diff
ferent colors.
1.-The exposition is beautiful and at
night it is grand. It's splendor can
hardly be ina gined without seeing it,
Now is a good time to go. The hotels
are not crowded, though there are
many visitors, and the rates are rea-
SOnable"

BY BUT ONE POINT
DID PRINCETON WIN
In the Field Trials with University
of Chicago.


of Chicago.
Chicago, June 2O.-Princeton Uni
versity to-day defeated the University
of Chicago in the first outdoor track
and field dual meet ever held between
representatives of the two universities.
Out of total of fourteen points, only
first places figuring in the count,
Princeton secured ~ points, while Chi
cago finished with 61s.
The result of the meet hung in the
balance until the finish of the half
mile run, the last track event, when
Williams of Princeton and his team
mate. Adist, crossed the tape thirty
yards ahead of Cahill of Chicago.
In the hundred yards dash, there
were only two starters, Fox prince
toni, being pitted against Rice (Chi-
caggo. The eastern man was outclass-
ed by his western rival and at the
finish was fully six yards in the rear
of the Conference champion. The time
for the dash was 10 lis seconds.
AS had been predicted, Cattin (Chi-
eago). won both of the hurdle races.
In the 44O yards run, Taylor Chi
cago), led up to the last forty yards,
when Atlee (Princeton), forged ahead,
winning by a few feet.
The two mile run was a walk-away
for the fasteners, Eisele finishing a
full eighth of a mile in advance of
Matthews of Chicago.
Dewitt (Princeton), won handily the
weight events.
In the pole vault, Moore, (Princeton)
and Clark, (Chicago), were tied for first
place, each crossing the bar at eleven
feet. The point was divided between
the two contestants.
