Local News. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 27, 11102. The Closing Day. There was a love-feast between many ot the candidates and very many of the dear people in this city Saturday last. The last meeting of the cam paign was the principal attraction, but many came in for the boxes for the forty-three voting precincts. All of the county candidates were given an opportunity to address the people at the meeting held in the court room. Interest centered principally in ad dresses to be niade by candidates for State Senate and for Judge of i'robato. Aside from certain issues raised in con nection with these otlices, there was just enough anticipation of pyrotech nics from these sources to slightly in tensify interest. These anticipations were not realized. The spoechos were dignified and strictly within parliamen tary rules. Hut the crowd was expect ant and ready und auxious to be enter tained. Fully 800 people heard Messrs. Hood and Ashley. Every seat was occupied and all available (standing room made use of. These candidates were gener ously applauded, and a casual observer would have concluded that each had about the same following, but the original liberty of Mr. Ashley in word making and his inimitable style iu pronunciation und enunciation pro duced much merriment uad applause, which was joined in by every one pres ent irrespective of preference as to candidates. It was decidedly a Hood crowd, clearly evidenced when matters of importance were touched upon. The crowd wi t thoroughly good na tured. Interest in the meeting subsided after Hood and Ashley spoke and it became known that Judge Nance, because of illness, would not be present. The crowd in the court room gradually di minished, wandering down stairs into the lobby and office rooms and over the square until but few remained to hear the would-be legislators and others. The square presented a scene of busi ness and bustle. No such crowd had gathered in the city siuce the cam paign opened. Besides the many groups of tuen scattered here and there discussing the political outlook, and the huBtling candidates and their assistants, the city was full of wagons loaded with watermelons, V"<'d, hay, cabbage and Irish potatoes. luiong the candidates present were ?1.JU. Jd. t\ Ansel, candidate for Gov ernor* and Messrs. Gunter and Steven son, candidates for Attorney General. These put iu some excellent work in hand shaking, etc. The crowd remain ed in the city late and e\ery candidate present had a good opportunity to meet voters from nearly every precinct in the county. This unusually large crowd was on excellent behavior. It was about the dullest Saturday of the year iu police circles. Hireling of Sewerage Cunuuissiou. There was a meeting of the Sewer age Commission Friday morning last. Contractor Geo. i). Teuney and Engi neer Lud low were present. It was de termined to put iu :i00 feet of iron pip ing instead of the clay pipiug iu pass ing toe group of wells which supply the city with water, und to tuku extra precaution with the principal manhole ut that point by making the walls 12 inches thick instead of 8 inches and plastering inside and out. This iron piping will cost abu.it $270 extra. There was Borne discussion over ex tra charges made nectary by coming in contact with water mains, and for concrete work not covered by contract. These charges appearing equitable were finally allowed. There were objections raised to the "back filling" of the trenches, the pack ing of the dirt being unsatisfactory. Mr. Tenney promised immediate reme dy. There were also objections to the quality of briok being used in the manholes. This Superintendent Cope land will remedy iu future by rejecting cars of brick not fully up to purchase contract. It developed in the meeting that one third?four miles?of the pipe laying and "back filling" had been completed. Mr. Tenney is advertising for more laborers and the work will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Checks for the sewerage work aggre gating* $12,820,85 were given by the City at the close of tho meeting. The items were, Geo. O. Tenney, $8,855,76; -Montague & Co. for piping, $8,221,09; Mr. Ludlow, engineer, $750. lola Happenings. i We were blessed with a little rain | in?i ?V??iijg ?fiu ??TO ti/Oki?g Cu??fl?l toward another.
