The primary election for aldermamc
offices Saturday passed off very quietly,
and now for the regular election.
The candidates and their friends all
worked at a lively rate during the-
day and those who were
defeated know that they died
game. The election was conducted
upon a high plane, and no bitter feel
ings have been engendered.
IN THE FIRST.
In this ward the race was between
Messrs. Wesley McKinnon and C. W.
Cooper. Both candidates pulled long
and bard for victory, but McKinnon
pulled down the plum. He soon drew
away from his opponent and upm fin
ishing the count of the votes it stood:
McKinnon 103, Cooper 43, giving Mo-
Kinnon a majority of GO over bis op
ponent.
GLOSS IN THB 8KCONI>.
It was red hot in the second. It com
menced to fryeaily in the morning,
sizzled on until evening, and when the
finish was reached it was white hot.
The city of Athens has never known
adoser or more exciting race than that
between Messrs. F. W. Lucas and John
N. Booth in this ward. Mr. Booth was
not present at the polls, being absent in
Jackson county in attendance upon the
funeral of his father, while Mr. Lucas
didn’t visit the polls but a few minutes
during the day.
The friends of each candidate pulled
for their favorite with all the energy
they could summon, and when the polls
dosed all the voters in the ward had
voted with but few exceptions.
It was dose at the start, close all the
way ali-ng and dose at the finish. Ii
was quite evident along towards the
close that the winner could net possi
bly score more than two majority.
Hi nee excitement was intense when
/the counting began. First Booth ran a
little ahead, then Lucas caught
aLd towards the finish they
came down the line neck and neck.
And when it was finished the tally
sheets showed Booth 73, Lucis 74. One
hundred and forty-eight votes were
polled and one vote was missing.
Subsequent counts showed Booth 74,
Lucas 73, still one vote missing. These
last are the figures upon the tally sheets
of the managers and all hinges on the
one missing ballot. On the face of the
returns Mr. Booth is the nominee.
A WALK OVER.
The Third ward polling precinct was
dull all day lorg. No opposition
manifested itself to the candidacy of
Cap\ W. P. Wtlch, and he received 74
votes, the unanimous endorsement at
that precinct.
IN THX FOURTH.
Here it was a contest between two
pluoky and progressive citizens, Messrs.
John T. Voss and Thomas P. Vincent
Both candidates and their friends
worked hard, but Vincent started in
the lead and maintained it to the finish.
The tally sheets showed Vincent 102,
Voss 55.
The executive oommittee will consol
idate the returns and declare the nomi
nees Monday morning at nine o’clock.
THE YALE BOYS.
TRAIN HELD UP.
Passengers on a Pul'man Sleeper
v ' Robbed by Highwaymen.
8F.A’rn,B, Wash.. Nov. 26.—The over
land wes} bound train on the Northern
Pacific was held up Thursday evening
near Hot Springs by three masked mon,
who robbed all the male passengers in
the Pullman sleeper, which were six in
all. The robbers entered the car at Hot
Springs. The train had not gone five
miles from that place when the men en
tered the rear sleeper.
One of the highwaymen went to the
extreme end of the car while the other
stood guard at the end they entered.
All had handkerchiefs over their faces.
They placed revolvers at the heads of
the passengers and commanded them to
hold up their hands.

Without going to the^fe,
cars the robbers pulled th'o ’ bell
cord, giving proper signals, and when
the car stopped pulled the bell to start
again and then jumped off.
They fled to the woods, firing a part

The total amount taken was fl,200
besides geld watches, jewelry and othei
valuables
From the fact that the robbers gav
perfect signals, it is believed they are
railroad men.

Their Victory Over Princeton Stirred
Them to Other Deeds of Vster.
New York, Nov. 26.—The victory
aver Princeton on the football field evi
dently acted as an inspiration to some
Yale boys to farther deeds of daring in
quite another field of action. About 6
p. in. there was a fire in the four story
and basement brown stone building st
875 Fifth avenue. The fire started in
thMiarlor floor, occupied by Mme. Adel
Breach el, who represents a Parisian mil
linery house. Mme. Breachel was dress
ing her baby in the middle rqpm of the
parlor floor, when the youngster, crow
ing lustily, made a sudden grab at the
cover, bringing dowii both table and
the lamp which stood on it.
The broken lamp set fire to a portiere
close by. Mme. Breachel waited to see
no more, but rushed with the baby in
her arms into the avenne and Jp the
nearest drug store, where the <
was compelled by the mother to subject
the babyvto a long and fruitless search
for purely suppositious burns.
Meanwhile the flames spread from the
portiere to the rest of the furniture.
They burned so merrily that in a short
time the policeman on the beat awoke
to the fact that he had better send in an
alarm as quickly as possible. The base
ment of the building is occupied by A.
Smith & Son, importers of porcelains,
and the three top floors by Mrs. Eliza A.
Ken worthy, a dressmaker, who employs
twenty girls, seven of whom live and
sleep on the premises.
It was jnst as the engines were clat
tering up that the Yale boys, with their
bine resettles very much in evidence
came along the avenne. They stoppe
to watch the blaze which was rapidl
gaining ground. A by-stander hap
pened to mention that he thought there
were several girls living on the top fleoi
of the building. Tnat was enough for
the collegians. With a whoop and s
“rah! rah! rah!” they scurried up tb
steps into the bnilding and up the stair
and in five ininntes more were down on
the sidewalk again with three very
much frightened and blushing damselV
safe in their manly and protecting arms.
Then the firemen came up, too late tx
share in the glory. However, they did
tbeir duty and soon had the fire under
control.

The Returns Are All In and
Count Made.
the
CLEVELAND’S PLURALITY.
Mistaken Ideas As to Marking the Bal
lots Caused Loss to Both Sides,
But the Democrats Lost
More than Republicans.
Indianapolis, Nov. 28.—The official
returns ttpm the last county in Indiana
have been reoeived at the statehonse.
The returns show that Bracken, the
first elector on the Democratic ticket,
receiyed 268,700 votes. Pierce, the first
elector on the Republican ticket, re
oeived 255,615. Bracken’s plurality,
which is in effect Cleveland’s plurality,
fo 7,085.
None of the electors on either ticket
reoeived as many votes as the first. The
Democratic elector receiving the small
est number of votes Ml 2,167 , behind
Bracken. The Republican elector re
ceiving the smallest number of votes
fell 1 §45 below Pierce.
It is believed by those who have in
vestigated the returns that the difference
in the number of votes received by the
first electors and those following wm
caused by mistaken opinion which many
voters had that by stamping opposite
the name of the first elector, they voted
for all the electors on the ticket. The
Democrats lost 322 more votes through
this mistake than the Republicans.
The average vote received be the fif
teen electors on the Democratic state
ticket was 260,720. Claude Mat
thews ran' only 119 behind the av
erage electoral vote, receiving 260.601.
The average number of votes re
ceived by the Republican electors was
253, 920. Ira J. Chase received 253,625.
thus falling 295 below the average elec
toral rote. The average plurality of
the Democratic electoral vote is 6,800,
while the plurality of Matthews is 0,955.
It is a great domestic remedy, and
.shouldbe kept in eviry home. Mr.
formal Cheatham, We&verly, Sussex
Co., Vs., who has never been withon
it for twelve jeaxi aub cribes to this
opinion. He rays: "Oar family has
been using Pr. Bull’s Cough Syrup for
welve yean and are never without it

We attended the services at the Park
Street Church and listened to a short and
interesting discourse suitable for the oc
casion by the pastor, Dr. J. W. L**e, giving
t* e origin of the Thanksgiving day, which
ia so universally observed in this onr c >nn
ry, as the preacher said, the day was ob
served in the New Eogland States, setting
spart one day in the fall of the year after
the yeer's crops were harvested, as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer: The Govern
>r of each state appointed the day for his
state and not always on the same day of
month of the others, for we can remember
well when for iostai ce, the Governor ot
Connecticut wouldn’t appoint the last
Thursday of November aa Thanksgiving
day, while the Governor of M seaebnsetts
the first Thursday in December but always
coming on tie same day of the week
Thursday,
President Lincoln,by proelimation, made
the day a National one to be appointeo
each year by the presidents and is ob
served as such by ail the states of Un.
Union. ” The church was elaborately deco
rated with a Variety* of vegetable fruit,
autumn leaves looking like a harvest home
to the thankful tor. One good brother
brought a livo gobbler to help represent
the day but be was like a great many peo
pie, gobble! too much, and was removed
Tuey ougtt to have given him the amen
corner.
A contril ution was taken for the benefit
of the poor of the cbeich and quite a large
sum w»s raised which will make som
thankful hearts when distributed.
Now, Mb. Editor, I want to tell you
that we had, after » rvices at the church, a
regular old fashioned New England
Thanksgiving dinner placed before n

only reliance was upon the preserce

PAY FOR THE PITCHERS.
Dr. Adam Clarke, while preaching to large
congregations in Inland, pictured in glow
ing terms the feeuessof the gosple, dwell
ing on the point that the water of life
could be had “without money and without
pnce.“ At the c inclusion < f the s rmon a
collection was taken bp to send the gospel
to the heathen. This collection embarrassed
the preacher a little as it seemed to con
tradict .the theme of his sermon. Ashe
was telling the story to a Christian lad>
afterwards, she replied, ‘ V. ry true, Drcto
the water of life is 'ree—without money
and without price—but we must p»y for
•he pitchers to carry it in/*
Tuat disci imitating remark di?p*ls the
fog that seems to hang over the minds of
some who cannot see that the freeness of
water is one tl iosr, and the employment of
a person to cirry it is quite another thing-

the glad tidings to others must be allowed
to have a price, and money to pay the are invited to be"present' Below

Woman’s Place In politics.
The law confines voting to citizens of
the United States, twenty-one ye*rsof
age, and neither women, paupers, in
sane people, nor minors are allowed
this privilege.
You say then, “Where does woman’s
place in politics come?. If not allowed
to vote, it seems she would have no part
in the political world.’’
But this is a mistake. At her own
fireside, surrounded by the bright glow
of a husband’s and children's love—this
is woman's place in politics.
In more ways than one have women
bad a great influence over the affairs of
their country.
Take, for instance, the example oi
Madame de Stael. At the outbreak of
the French Revolution, her hopes foi
the reformation of the social and polit
ical world, not being realized, she bold
ly employed her pen in denunciatioi
of the course of the parties, and stoutl;
defended the royal family, whom sh>
thought "more sinned against tha'
sinning.’’
She was forced to fle-e during tbi
“Reigq of Terror,” but returned at th
establishment of the Directory.
Napoleon, having vainly attemptcr
to secure her support, o. dered her •
leave her beloved Paris, and not tor-
main within forty leagues of thatcitv
This almost broke £er heart, but at bu
abdication she returned to Paris, an
resumed her o.d position &s bub of th
literary whe< 1 and leader <f publ
opinion. Her salons were the rallyii t
place of the party she advocat d.
Another example of woman’s i» fl -
inee, is that of Madame Roland. S
«ra* once principal-editor of a Dem
oratic j mrna), and shared in all hi
husband’d labors. Ia fnur, she did s
of his work, at the tim* soe was mini
ter, during the ascendancy of tl
Giroudht Party. But she, too, lik
Madame de Stael, was a woman vt ui
desirable political notoriety.
We might give many such instai c-
There is Charlotte Cotday, who w>
heard to say that she only took one lit
that many might be saved. But st
had an erroneous idea -if true pacri-
tiam. Joan of Aro believtd hem
called upon by God to go to the aid
her country, bat she certainly inu-r
'eted her love and ecthu-iisai wrongl
and it reattyEwflfi~thit the fate of tbe>
three women, Charlotte Corday, Joan
Aro,and Uadam Roland is proof enou^
in itself that t .e political wirjd Is n.
the piece for woman.
How many women have held swa
over thMr country through that power
ful medium—the book. Just before t<
late Civil War, when the northern pe-
pie were agitating the imp rrtant que
rion of slavery or no Slav ry, Harri
Beecher Stowe gave to the liters
world, “U -cle Tom’s Cabin,” wbi.
served to stir up the abolitionists
that extent, that it brought oa the wa
several years sooner. What a terrihl
thing wcdld slavery have been, had a
she pictured been true!
But we give her this much credi
she was conscientious in writing th
book. She thought that she was per
forming her duty before God and tn
and doing a great service in behalf «l
those in servitude.
But when she made hir home' >
Florida for a while, and found a gres
many statements she had made, weri
utterly false, why did she not perform
an act of the same co> scientioi s duty,
and write a sequel to * Uuc!e Tom s
Cabin,’’ in which she might justify h*r-
self in the eyes of her country, and t! e
southern people, whom she bad so
grossly misrepresented. This is wist
we censure her for; for the non-p r-
formance of her doty. Buf perh ps
her conscience was the means of a
more painful censuring,and who kn< ws
but what Cbis was the mam cause of he
dethronement of her reason.
This influence of this book can be
clearly seen, and in itself goes to prove
the power of the pen, and if this power
can be rightly utilized, and directed
towards noble purposes, by all means
let it be encouraged.
Here in our own dear Amerioi, we
have women that %ve had their place
in politics, although they may not
know it. What say you of Mrs. Cleve
land? Du you not think that to her is
due great thanks for, the influence she
had in bringing abcut this great victory
of Democracy?
Does the woman of America want t j
vote? Does she wish to take that
prominent gjtand in politics ? No 1 most
emphatically Not And the day the
woman of the nineteenth century wades
through rain and mud, mingles with
the rough, uncouth crowd on a public
election day, and casts her first vote
into a ballot box, that day should she
cease to expect the respect and rever
ence that has been her due, anl that of
woman before her.

CROVATT’S FIERY STORY.
A Georgian Who Thinks the Comet hit
The Moon,
Waycboss, Ga., Nov. 25.—H. H
Crovatt, a Savannah, Florida and We
tern engineer, reports having seen
wonderful phenomenon last night at
8:30 o’clock while on his engine seven
miles north of Savannah. He noticed
that a portion of the moon was dark and
thinking it an eclipse, called his fire
man’s attention to it. iu another second
half of the moon became dark and in
about three minutes afterward disap
peared. He says he looked anxiously
for it to reappear, but it was seen no
more. He firmly believes that the
moon was struck by a comet and
knocked into smithereens.
Crovatt has been an employe of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
for twenty-seven years. He vouches
for the truthfulness of the foregoing,
as also does his fireman. Green Chappie-

ning held up Dr. J. W. CorneU at his
residence, covering him with a shotgun
and caused him to sign a check in nis

National Bank of this oity. Next
Yoorhis went to- Grover Brown, of
Sharonville, and covering him with his
shotgun, made him write a check for
$1,000. Then he went to Undertaker

check :or a similar amount, but Voor-
his ta’k'd him out of it. Voorhis, the
robber, tbea went to Dr. Smither’s
office and demmded a ch ck for $1000
under threat of death A*, this point
the constable arrested him. Some
Sharonville residents are charitable
enough to believe that Yoorhis is crazy.
