Waveriy—The town election yester-
with previous years. In the
Imorning the vote was very light, the
‘cold weather keeping many who rel
{sided in the rural districts from com-
ing in lu the aftermoon, however,
there was larger vole, and 789 bal-
lots in all werecast. There were 16
spoiled ballots, leaving the total num-
ber of effective ballots at T74
The Republican ticket was entire
iy sucessful with the exception of one
candidate for justice of the peace
G. H Grafft one of the Democratic
nominees received 10 majority over
George Brooks, his opponent
A large number of the ballots cast
were split, making it a long job to
count them, aud it was nearly mid-
night before the board finally complet-
ed its laborers
Some idea of the number of split
ballots cast can be obtained when
it is seen that Charles H. Turney, the
Republican candidate for Town Clerk,
received 344 majority while Mr. Graft
showed a majority of 10 on the other
side
The Democrats had no candidate for

Harrisburg. Pa —Suspicious sounds
from the interior of the Harrisburg
Produce Company's warehouses, on
neighborhood for a time. At first it
was thought a fire was raging on the
inside, bat at close range the sounds
were more like the breaking of boxes,
and word was sent to Homer Simon-
ettl, the proprietor, to come at once,
Detective Joseph Ibach and Lieuten-
take the robbers unawares. The
sounds were very distinct, and there
was every indication that some one
was busy on the lower floor of the
warehouse With revolvers in their
the door leading to the room from
which the sound came But
found no robbers
* There were other sounds resembl-
ing running water, and this is just
what the officers found A water
meter had burst and flooded the de-
cases of dried apples
apples began to swell, and as they
grew in size the boxes burst Each
time a lid came off or a side was
broken there was a sound like some
one opening: boxes. After the water
had been turned off there was a good
laugh all around.

LONDON, Feb. 13—The second ses
salon of the second parliament of the
present reign, which promises to be full
of interest and Importance as a conse-
quence of the projected Liberal attack
on the house of lords and the introduc:
tion of an installment of home rule for
Ireland, was opened by King Edward
with all the imposing ceremony which
has attended these functions since his
accession. The king and queen, in the
historic golden coach, participated In
the usual stale procession from Buck-
ingham palace to the house of londs
The route was lined bY troops, and,
despite the drizziing min and cold
weather, considerable cYowds occupled
all the points of vantage and gave
their majesties a hearty reception
The document foreshadowed a full
and busy session devoted to Ireland,
army reform and telupernuce, apart
from the overshadowing of
the house of lords,
The points in the King's speech which
attracted the most attention were the
referees to the Kingston disaster
and the house of lond=. When his uiaj-
esty spoke gratefully of the assistance
rendered by the Awerican navy to the
earthquake sufferer<. he turned in the
direction of the diplomatic body and
bowed to the American ambassador,
Whitelaw Heid who was distinguished
among bis uniformed colleagues by his
quiet evening dress
“1 have seen with satisfaction”
the king in his speech, “that the emer-
gency has been met by the governor
and his officers with conrnge and devo:
tion and by the with =éif con-
trol The occasion has called forth
many proofs of practical good will
from all parts of my ewplre, and 1
recognize with sincere gratitude the
sympathy shown by the people of the
United and the ass=istante
promptly by their naval gu-
thorities.”
Then came a guanled

of his majesty’'s hearers
dressed both to “My

mons.’
Serious questions,”
affecting the working of
weniary systeui have
uufortunnte differviaces between the
two houses My wiulsters have this
important subject under consideration
with the view solution of the

The rest of the speech was devoted
tu the proposed Hoeen=ing bil the ob
ject of which is to diminish the drink
evils. proposals for improvement
of the army organization aod Irish
focal governinent and education ques
tions and a putiber of minor meas
ures, Including the establishment of
a court of criminal appeal
On the Irish question the king said
“Your attention will called to
measures for further assisting the peo
ple of Ireland with the management
of their domestic affairs and otherwise
improving their system of government
in its administrative and financial as
pects Propo=ials will also be sub
mitted to you for effecting a reform of
university education in Ireland, by
which 1 trust that the diffienitios which
have so long retarded higher eduen
tion in that country may be removed”
Among the domestic legislation fore
shadowed Io the speech from the
throne was “a bill enabling women to
on local bodies” evidently In
tended as » sop to the woman suffr
slsts
Having delivered his message to par
Hmuent, the King gave his hand to the
queen ber to rise, and the
procession was reformed and returned
to the robing rooin lo the same order
in which it bad gntered the house, and
the brief Lut Tmpressive cervivony
ended. .
The house of commons assembled
formally for a brief period after the
reading of the speech from the throne
and then adjourned until 4 p. mm, when
the debate on the address In reply to
the speech willl commence
Upon reasserubling the commons
