+ FLANAGAN is willing. Not to be a
candidate for Congress against Mr..
Fowler, but to be the Democratic can
didate for Governor. Some Of his
friends, he says, have done him the
honor to ask him to accept the nomi-
nation, and he has thus replied
shall not seek the nomination, either
directly or Indirectly, but if the party
leaders and the delegates to the con-
vention should consider me the most
available candidate, it is an honor
that no man should refuse This in
teresting bit Of political information
is guaranteed by the Elizabeth Times !;
and still further interest is added to
it by the comments Of DR.. r. w.
Morse, of Westfefd, Republican edi-
tor and a close friend Of Mr. Flanagan.
DR.. Morse declares that Flanagan
would make strong candidate, all
right, and would give Mr.. Stokes the
most interesting time he has ever en-
joyed." There is really no objection
to little fun In the campaign, but
such wild political hilarity is too much
to be appreciated. Still, Mr.. Flana-
gan might carry Hudson County.

THE voters Of Maine in their cleo
tion yesterday showed that they had
no idea Of changing the certain for
the uncertain quantity. The Demo
Gratis of that State were united and
have spared no possible effort to secure
a large reduction in the Republican
majority IN order to effect the Novem-
Der election. The question Of enforc-
ing the liquor laws, and every other
possible issue was dragged into the
campaign, but the citizens Of the old
Pine Tree State we're loyal to the flag
and from the returns have given more
than the average majority for the
Republican candidates. This is an
other strong indication Of the trend Of
public sentiment of the country, and
it is safe to presume that the Demo
cratic gospel Of change is not making
any gains anywhere.

A PROSPERITY CASE.
1t Is Up Before the Supreme Court
and Involves Very 1mpor-
tant Question.

Some time ago the town OF Pros
perity borrowed money from one of
the Columbia banks and also from the
bank Of Prosperity for the purpose
OF building a town hall and purchas-
ing lot therefor. Subsequently an
additional amount of about one thous-
and dollars was borrowed from the
Bank OF Prosperity for the purpose
Of taking up the note in the bank at
Columbia
These transactions have led TO an
important case in the state supreme
court which will come up before
Chief Justice Y. J. Pope during this
month. The important question in
volved is as to the right of town
to refuse payment OF note incurred
for building purposes. The case will
be watched with interest by the bank
ers throughout the state, inasmuch
as they are frequently involved in SINH
lar transactions.
1t appears from the complaint of the
plaintiffs in the Prosperity case that
the total income of the town of Pros
perity is only about $1,000 per annum,
and that this income is entirely con-
sumed in the current expenses of the
town. The town council now wishes
to pay out Of the income the one
thousand dollars borrowed from the
Bank of Prosperity.
The report comes from Columbia that
on Friday as a.result Mr.. G. Duncan
Bellinger, of the firm of Bellinger,
Townsend and Haskell, rep
resented the plaintiffs before the
Chief Justice and obtained tempo
rary injunction against the town
council, enjoining them from paying
the note until the case could be
heard.
The final decision, as has been stat
ed, will be awaited with considerable
interest because of the point raised
that the debt was incurred without
the consent of the qualified electors
of the town, and this is alleged to be
violation of the constitution. It is
expected that the powers Of a town
council to incur debt will be gone
over thoroughly

GENERAL SESSIONS COURT.
Adjournment Reached Saturday At
ternoon-The Reeder Case
Sentences Passed.

After hearing arguments which
lasted for about three hours, Special
Judge James Y. Culbreath Saturday
morning overruled the motion for a
new trial in the case Of the'state against
John Reeder, colored, convicted at
this term Of court of murder, with
recommendation to the mercy OF
the court. The verdict was rendered
by the jury on Friday afternoon.
The defendant was represented by
Messrs. Johnstone and Cromer. Mr..
Cole. L. Blease assisted Solicitor
Sease in the prosecution. Arguments
on the motion for new trial were
made on Saturday by Messrs. John
stone and Cromer and by Mr.Blease.
The arguments were all strong. In
fact; as was we'll stated by Judge Gull
breath in passing sentence on Reed
er, the prosecution in the case had
been vigorous throughout and the de-
fence had been able. 1t was a hard
fought legal battle and no point was
passed over by either side. When the
motion for new trial was overruled
the attorneys for the defence gave
notice of appeal.
Reeder was sentenced to life inn
prisonment at hard labor in the state
penitentiary.

Excellent Text Book on Anglo-Saxon
Versifcation Issued.

There has just been issued from the
presses OF the J. II. Furst company,
Baltimore. a text book on Anglo
Saxon Vcrsitication From The Stand
point OF the Modern-English Verslti-
cation. by T. B. Settler. NJ. A., Phi.
D.. professor of Teutonic languages
ii Ncwberry college,. tbs city. The
author. in his introduction. calls atA
tention to the fact that "English pro-
Sodists, with some few honorable eS-
ccptiOns. have in their treatises rini-
formly neglected the versitication Of
the Anglo-Saxon period. This neg
lcct is surprising when we remember
that. in the main. the fundamental
principles OF English versihcation are
the same throughout all Of. at least
the historic period OF the language
that in Modern English poetry we
have no new basic principle introduce
ed. but merely the development and
perfection of germs that existed in
the earliest Anglo-Saxon poetry. We
surely can study Anglo-Saxon versi-
fcation for the light it throws upon
NJ ,.ern English (to say nothing Of
Middle English) prosody: and we can
most prohtably and efficiently study
it in the light which is in turn thrown
"ron it by Modern English versi7-
cation"
The book has one mark of excel>
lence which too often can not be OBJ
served in books Of a similar charac-
ter. 1t is what might be aptly called
symmetrical.
The treatise will supply want
which has been felt in colleges for
some time. 1t is neat volume and
will no doubt become popular in the
treatment of the subject.
