At the present writing, Howard
j.. Ram, publisher of the Press and
d. IL. Young of the News, are by
all odds the hardest workers in this
burg. Each of them is DESTROYS of
securing the appointment of post
master at this place. We never,
until now, were aware that either
of them was capable Of great physi-
cal labor. All doubts on that sub
iect have been dlspelled. For the
past ten days, owing to letter re-
ceived by each of them from Con-
gresham Birdsall giving them I'M

cure letters from the patrons of the
Office as to their qualification for the

and gathering testimonials express.
ing the preferences of the patrons as
to which of them they desire to have
for their Nasty. OF late years the
Office has come to be quite renumer
alive, and the plum is worth striv.
ing for. Capt. Summersides, the
present incumbent, has, so far as W,
know, given good satisfaction, and
it is q mystery to many why Con
I gresham Birdsall has turned dowl
the battle Scared veteran. The
reason for his doing SO is undoubt
eddy to strengthen himself polite
ally. The ordeal is no doubt try
ing one to him, as Messrs. RAM
and Young are each leaders Of on
Of the two factions Of the republican
party in this county. Captain Sum
mersides, however, informs us tina
he is still in the field as a candidate
notwithstanding the attitude q
Congressman Birdsall toward him
Both Mr.. Ram and MIR. Youn,

light plant is making money in the
sense of being a money maker from
the standpoint of business basis, let
an investigation show such to be the
case and the question Of selling the
plant would be preposterous But as
long as a doubt remains that the mu-
nicipal plant is not running on a bust
ness basis, as long as the feeling re-
mains that during every ten years
some 100000 will have to be raised
from the citizens of Richmond by tax
alton to replace worn out parts of the
plant, it will never do to object to an
Investigation. The thing to do is, to
have the investigation and if that
shows the latter to be the case, dispose
of the plant while the opportunity re-
mains to do so on a basis that lets the

BURNS THOUSANDS
BEFORE HE DIES
Aged Farmer Destroys For
tune in Bank Bills.
CHARRED REMNANTS FOUND

Marion, O., Dec. 17-John Gordon, a
wealthy farmer of this county, burned
$4,000 in bills today a short time be-
fore he died. The charred remnants
of the bills were found by members of
his family, but as they were mostly
ashes no attempt will be made to have
them replaced. Gordon was IS years
old and in the last few weeks had
grown childish.
He had steadfastly refused to put
the $4,000, the savings of years, into
bank, but kept the money under his
pillow. This morning he amused him
self by setting fire to them and watch
ing them burn. Shortly before noon,
when one of his sons entered the
room the remains Of the bills were
found and Gordon was lying dead on
the bed He had succumbed to heart
disease

ANT|-G|FT SOCIETY
RECEIVES BAD JOLT
Young Woman Breaks An En-
gagement.
WILL BE A BEAU NO LONGER

Waterbury, Conn, Dec. 1.-THE
breaking of her engagement by a
young woman of this city yesterday
probably will have the effect of dis
solving the anu-Christmas gift society
formed here a week ago. The society
was started by wealthy matron. Her
society so appealed to the popular
taste that within a few days it had
800 members. All the members
pledged themselves neither to give nor
receive Christmas presents.
Yesterday when a certain young
man informed his sweetheart that she
need not expect present at Christ
mas she told him if he was that kind
of a young man he might consider
himself her beau no longer. Her &C
ton has had the effect of reducing the
membership Of the anttgift society to
small coterie of antique spinsters
and grouchy old bachelors.
