Tilt SECOND RECOUNT
 IN MINER VS. BABBITI
The First Three Phoenix Precincts Leave the Contest a Tie to Date.

The seeond recount of the vote for R. F. Miner and Don c. Rabbit for the office of county treasurer was begun yesterday morning before Judge Kent in special term At the close of the day only three of the Phoenix pre- cincts had been disposed of and even then some of the disputed ballots were held over for further consideration. The recount so far as it prOceedct showed a loss for Miner of nine votes and a loss for Rabbit of seven votes. Therefore at the present writing the vote is a tie for the last recount gave Miner a majorit of two votes.
 It was naturally predicted that the present recount would show q falling off of the vote for both candidates for the objections realized by the defense 10 the first recount was not that any votes which had been cast for Rabbit had been wrongfully rejected but that some of the votes counted for Miner ought not to have been counted. This objection was raised late in the pro- ceedings after several similar votes had been counted for Rabbit.
 These votes were generally those in which a single obliqUe line had been made to do duty for a cross, and which were therefore alleged to bear a dis tinguishing mark. Accordingly rule was adopted at the beginning of the present count excluding all such votes. The rules generally looked to d closer observance of the letter of the law and to less conjectures as to the intention of the voter.
 The recount is proceeding muck more slowly than the former one did for each ballot is more closely inspect ed for distinguishing marks. The cleo tion was held in the fly season ani consequently there are marks on some

GIRL bAbYS
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse -ln Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged Sl0 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought We would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and PhiNIdcCd d Htl Oi which cost me Sl, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if We had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. g, Fulton, Oswego Co.,, N. r., August r, 1906."

of the ballots which are not found on others.
 There is nothing on which to found an estimate of the result but under the law of chances Miner seems to have the best of it.
 In the three wards where his vote was the heaviest he has lost only two under the close inspection to which all the ballots are subjected. Now this sitting process is about to be carried into the territory where the Babbitt vote was the heaviest and where h" may be expected to lose more votes than Miner There is hardly probab ility that either will gain any any where.
 The vote according to the wards. as shown b the first recount was:
 First precinct. Rabbit 179; Miner, 29S
 Second precinct, Rabbit; 17l; Miner, 27S.
 Third precinct, Babbitt 14s; Miner. e19.
 The present recount:
 First precinct, Rabbit IF; Miner. 2SS.
 Second precinct, Babbitt 17S; Miner, 274.
 Third precinct. BaDbitt, IA; Miner PIG.
 The fatal number two which kept manifesting itself through all the pro- ceedings beginning with the unofficl. count. kept coming to the surface yes terday In the morning session each O. the candidates lost two votes. The net loss of Miner in the afternoon Was two, wiping out his majority Of two.

DR.. w. A. Mailing and John God.
win, through transfers last week,
become the sole owners and pro.
prietors of the stock of drugs and
sundries on the Mailing corner,
formerly Martin Allen Drug Co.,
then Allen Drug Co., and more re-
Gently the McMichael Drug Co.
This is one of the handsomest
and best equipped drug stores in
any city or town, and the corner is
one of the busy points in Union
City. DR.. Mailing was some time
ago interested in the business, but
DR.. McMichael afterwaro secured
control.
AS everyone knows DR.. Mailing
has already acquired large and
lucrative practice In Union City.
He has not been personally active
in the drag line since he left Main
street, but was for some time in
charge OF the Office department of
the Allen Drug Co. His counsel in
the conduct of the business will be
of great advantage to the house.
In addition to this John Goodwin,
one of the most popular and best
qualified druggists ever engaged in
the drug business, for many years
a Union City druggist, is one of
the partners. Mr.. Goodwin is a
graduate of the Baltimore College
of Pharmacy. He has been engaged
for a number of years as travelling
salesman for John Wyatt g. Bro,
p Philadelphia, Wholesale drugs and
medicines, and with varied and
an extensive experience IN the
drug business he returns to Union
City to again become Union City
druggist and we are mighty glad
to welcome him back.
This will certainly make strong
team and an influential concern
We wish them success.

Killed at Huntingdon.

Porter Matthews, son of B. E. P.
! Matthews residing at Gibbs, was
accidentally killed at Huntingdon
on Saturday last, Dec. 21.
The young man was twenty-six
years of age and has been engaged
with Mr.. Troy in the work of street
construction. He left here in Au-
gust and went to Lexington, from
there to Huntingdon. Last Satur-
day evening he was running the
steam roller at Huntingdon and was
going north on Mckenzie street.
The N, c. & st. L. Ry. makes a
curve around the town of Hunting
don on the north side, rather sharp
as it approaches town from the
west. A light engine and caboose
Iengaged in railroad construction
was approaching town around the
curve eastbound. Mckenzie street
crosses the railroad track about
two hundred yards west of the de-
pot Mr.. Matthews had reached
the crossing going north with the
roller. The engine was coming
from the west and before Mr.. Mat
thews had cleared the track with
the roller the engine struck the
rear of the roller at an agile, the
force of the engine knocking the
driving wheel from the roller on the
right side of the machine. 1t is
said that Mr.. Matthews did not see
the engine until it was right upon
him and that he threw up his hands
as if in the act of jumping He was
caught on the engine aod 7rried
probably fifty yards, iouns oeer a
trestle. When the body st,a ack the
ground the head was crushed into
pulp, deep cut across the waist,
and almost every bone in the body
shattered. The engineer claims
that he failed to see the roller in
time to reverse the engine. Another
story is that the engineer and fire.
man were watching the antics of
negro woman when they were
rounding the curve and that
when they did discover what
was about to happen they jumped
out of the cab and left the engine
running. With this theory it is
claimed that the brakeman in the
caboose went ahead and stopped |
the engine.
The deceased was we'll known
here. He was industriously en-
gagged at work when the accident
occurred, and it is stated by relia-
BILE men that he was perfectly So
ber and attentive to business.
S. R. Bratton, of this city, went
to Huntingdon and took charge of
the remains, shipping them back
for burial. The funeral and burial
took place at Shady Grove Monday,
services being conducted by Rev. ].
H. Thomas.
