About 1 o’clock yesterday morning a

time the fire alarm called the depart

It was the residence of Mrs. P. H.

burning.
It seems that Mr. John I). Meli had
not retired and was reading in his room?
Suddenly he became aware of the

Amenities of the Canvass.
Whatever may be the results at the
polls, this campaign will go inte history
as the m<j«t aificable as well as one of
the most earnest and enthusiastic po
litical contests ever known in Ohio. It
has been conducted on both sides with
decency and frep from that indulgence
in personal nb«e winch has marked so
many previous contests. The campaign

by his absence.
Yet there has been no .lack of ag

^Plight on uatioual issues almost ex-
Jlusively, with the understanding that
the successful candidate would make a
strqpg bid for the presidential nomina
tion by his party. Silver and the tariff
have been the themes discussed on the
stamp, and in the public press, but
state issues have received some atten
tion during the last fortnight.
In the past thirty years Ohio haa

Republicans have not failed to carry

Campbell received 10,872 plurality.

there are so many tickets in the field
that politicians are perplexed in the ef
fort to estimate its effect on the result.
The Legislative Contest.
One of the most peculiar phases of
this campaign is the still hunt for Sena
tor Sherman’s scalp being conducted by
jx-Governor Foraker. For the price of
a United States senatorship is involved
in this election, and should, the Repub
licans be victorious, a very interesting
fight will be inaugurated in the legisla
ture between Sherman and Foraker.
Sherman ia very strong in the party,
and Foraker has a large and influential
following. As to the relative strength
of the two men little can be known
definitely untfl the legislature is chosen.
Foraker’s adherents have been at
work in every county striving to secure
pledges from candidates for the legisla
ture. Sherman’s agents, too, have been
working in ths same direction. Party
leaders have made the most strenuous
efforts to keep the senatorial succession
in abeyance lest it might injure ths
state ticket or give the stats ticket to
the Democrats.
In the event of the People’s party
having the balance of power m the leg
islature. it is alleged tnat they will vote
for Foraker. "Anything to beat Sher

“There have been continued pron.i-
on the part of the company -to do
aietter and give better service, but in
stead matters have been going from
had to worse. They are not only fail
ing to give tbe people supply but there
is a total failure of supply at the reser
voir. Anyone who will go down and
take a look at the reservoir, filled with
tad-poles snd covered with green scum,
will agree with tue that not only is it
liable to cause sickness, but there is
absolutely so little there that it wouldn’t
stand six hours pumping.
“Iam in favor of withholding tbe
rents and taking steps at once to abro
gate the contract. 1 believe that we
should act now aud here and in a de
cided manner upon this subject.”
Alderman T&lmadge said: “I agree
with Mr. Rucker. The reservoir speaks
for itself and is standing evidence that
tbe contract with the city has been vi
olated by the Water Works Company
and should be brought to an end. lt is
humbug and a fraud of tbe first water,
and I am iu favor of advertising for
bids and erecting a new system of Wa- :
ter Works to be owned and controlled
by the city of Athens.”
Alderman Hodgson was of the same
opinion, stating that at tbe time the
system was established, he had told the
engineer tbe supply was totally inade
quate.
Alderman Rucker again spoke on the
subject, stating that Mr. R. L. Bloom-
could haul
water ftom the rivor in tanks cheaper
than he wil l get-it from the Water
Works Company. He was in favor of
settling the question at once eveu if Mr.
Howell should cut off his hydrants to
morrow and leave the town without
water.
Alderman Dorsey suggested that this
would be a great risk to property hold
ers, aud wanted to know if it couldn’t
be gotten at in some other way.
Alderman Talmadge was in favor of
going back to first principles and fight
ing lire as was done in the days when
we had no waterworks system.
Alderman Dorsey opposed this idea
of shutting off the water entirely at this
season of the year so dangerous as to
fires.
Alderman Rucker submitted some
figures to show cb»t the rents paid by
the citizens for water per year am ;t»
ed to 6 per cent on $200,000, at:J asked
if the citizens were going lo pay such
prices any longer for such valueless
service. He was in favor of taking the
bull by the horns and settling the ques
tion.
“But,” said Alderman Dorsey, “the
bull is too big to take by the horns in
such manner.’
A great deal depends ou the grit of
the man that takes hold,” said Aider-
man Rucker.
Alderman McDowell agreed with
Alderman Dorsey that such a at p
would involve great risk.
Alderman D rsey asked the city at
torney what would be tbe effect if Mr
Howell should shut off all the water
‘•It would annul the contract,” re
plied Mr. Cobb,
“That would he the beat thing that
could ever happen for Athens,” said
Mr. Rt’cker
It a as stated that Mr. Howell would
be coim elled to give service for two
months longer at least.
After some farther discussion, the
resolution was read. It was to hold up
the payment of the water rents and i
authorize th" Water Works committee,
if it should deem best, to institute pro
ceedings to sei aside the contract, an><
also to collect data as to the ci sts, etc

and that Mr Cobb be assured that they
were loth to give him up. \
Aldermen McDowell and Hodgson,
and Mayor Brown paid high tribute^ to

the services he had rendered the city in

was carried.

have always come out flatfooted for
the prohibition side of the issue, but at
a meeting of the Evangelical ministers
association this morning
the reverend gentelemen
refused to endorse the anti bar-room
ticket. They want, however, to be un
derstood as favoring prohibition, but
will not endorse men pledged to that
platform because they might have oh

one of the ministers put it: “We will

INTO THE DAN.
Fearful Collision on the High Bridge
at Danville Yesterday Morning.
Gekknsboro, N.C., Nov. 2—[Special.]
—There was a fearful collision ou tbe
Richmond and Danville railroad ai—
Danville, Va., this morning.
The south bound vestibule limi’.ed No.
37, ran into a freight train on the bridge
across the Dan river. One span of the
bridge went down, carrying with it the
freight engine and six cars.
Engineer Wingate and Conductor
Royal went down with the general
crash and were killed. Another train
hand was also killed, but
his name could .not be learned.
Some others are reported hurt, but as
usual the railroad people have their
mouths closed and refuse to give out
any information. No one on the ves
tibule was Imr , but the engine is some
what demolished.
The collision was a very serious one,
and apparently inexcusable. The
bridge across the Dan is an iron Struct
ure, sixty or seventy feet high. It is
in the city limits and less than one
hundred yards from the Danville de
pot.
It seems that the vestibule was run
ning off time. The first section of 8
freight train, number 46, north bonnd,
made a dash for north Danville before
the vestibule came in and met .it on
the bridge with the results as stated
