 The town elections on Monday drew only 494 voters to the polls and 109 of these were women. The republican nominees took the offices wherever there was any sign of competition, as shown in the cases of assessor and board of relief. This result is partly accounted for by the fact that only a small number of democrats came out to vote. In the second district there were only 129 straight democratic tickets voted as compared with PA republican straights. The borough polls showed a vote of 38S, 101 of which were cast by women, and four of which were thrown out, two blanks and two bearing unlawful identifica- tiOn marks.

 Mrs. Eva Fuller of Marlborough is visiting her sister, Mrs. G. B. Robbins. Through some informality, the wo- men in Marlborough, who hoped to vote at town election, were not made" on application, so she did not remain at home for the town meeting. Mrs. Reed is still picking straw berries and raspberries from her ever bearing varieties, of delicious flavor, as is the sugar-evergreen corn. Of flowers their cosmos still defies frost and storm.

 That Claud Taylor is making at tempts to escape from the prison at Wethersfeld, surprises no one, but the Courant's story that the last time he was out he was arrested in New York is a surprising mistake, as he was followed by Thomas Bligh, uncle of Howard and Norman, chief of the Massachusetts state police and was arrested in the South east part of Wilmington, after passing over the Hill with his stolen outfit.
 Norman Bligh of Boston, who has been at work for his brother, Howard Bligh, at the Hillside Poultry farm has | entered the Massachusetts Agricul- ftural college as student The family | and guests at Hillside gave him a send off dinner with gifts for his 1 equipment and Miss Ricketts and Mrs. Snedica accompanied the brothers on 1 their trip to Amherst in the new car. | Norman takes with him the best wishes of his fellow Scouts, boys and l girls, and of his many friends. | Joseph Mirtl, who graduated with
 honors in the last class of the Willi-
 mantle high, has passed his examina-
 tions and entered the school at Mount Hermon. He writes that he was
 one of the few comparatively who
 passed the bible examinations and
 attributes the fact to his faithful at
 tendance at the Sunday school of the Wilmington Federated church. Joseph, who from childhood has by his rare personality and his assiduity held the
 esteem and affection of the whole
 community, is much missed, but takes

Injunction Holds Up Changes.
Power for the Commission to hear

The Commission is not given power,

Washington consumers are now
paying 10 cents per kilowatt hour

Potomac Company also is asking
for an increase of 90 per cent in
