WILLIAM H. TAFT ELECTED PRESIDENT
Republican Sweep
Presidency With Electoral Votes
To Spare.
C, E. HUGHES WINS IN NEW YORK
William Howard Taft, the
yesterday elected president of the
the popular and electoral vote which will equal the phenomenal
record of Theodore Roosevelt, four years ago. New York, Ohio,
Indiana practically all the north, east and west except Nebraska
and Oklahoma went for Taft, giving him at least 306 electoral
votes. In Ohio and Indiana the vote was very close. Late re
ports say New York City went for Taft, the first time it has ever
given a Republican presidential candidate a majority.
The "solid South," including Missouri and Maryland, remains
Democratic.
Indications point to the re-election of Governor Charles E
Hughes in New York state. He carried the upper counties by
a majority sufficiently large to overcome Chanler's Democratic
lead in New York City.
Taft carried Minnesota, but John Johnson, her Democratic
governor, has won re-election for the third time.

Important Equity Case.
Judge Allison O. Smith, of Clear-
fied, was here the first of the week
Uraring testimony in a case in which
TTS! v of the citizen of Punxsu-
tawney are interested, and In jehich a
large number of witnesses were heard.
The case grew out of the desire of the
borough and county for a grade cross
ing at Elk street, Punxsutawney, which
crossing the railroad company Is not
disposed to grant. Inasmuch as the
erection of a county bridge hinges on
the securing of the croslng, the county
' is an interested party. After hearing
.the testimony Judgd Smith adjourned
court on Wednesday afternoon., and ar
gument of the matter will go over 10
the January term. Brookville Repub

EMPIRE TUNNEL
ALMOST FINISHED
Big Project on the B., R. & P.
Will be Completed By
December First.
It is expected that work will be com
pleted on the big tunnel at Empire on
the B.( R. & P. road in another month,
and that before December let trains
will be going through it. The work
of double tracking this piece of the
road between Brockwayvllle and Em
pire has been going on for about two
years and has cost a great many
thousands of dollars, some fifteen hun
dred men being employed at one time
on the grading of the road and building
the tunnel.
The fine mason work on both ends
of the tunnel has just been finished, and
the work of - lining the Inside with
brick and cement is fast drawing to
a close. Railroad men who have been
watching the workthink it will likely
be completed in a month or six weeks,
and it is likely trains will be whirling
through this great long tunnel about
the first of December. This improve
ment will be a great help to the road In
handling their trains and give them
a better grade. Brockwayvllle Record.

POPULAR PRIEST

Rev. Father Bernard Lynch
Was Well Known Over
The County.
Rev. Father Bernard Lynch, pastor
Of St. Tobias Catholic church at
Brockwayvllle, died at the rectory in
that place at 0.00 p. ra. Wednesday,
October 28, after three week a' lllnees
with heart trouble. Solemn requiem
high masB was held In St. Tobias
church at 10.00 a. m. Friday and the
body was taken to Osceola Friday after
noon and interment made in the Cath
olio cemetery at that place Saturday
forenoon. Father Lynch was born in
Ireland In 1852 and was 60 years old
at time, of death. He located at Brock
wayvllle ten years ago and established
a church at that place and finally,
by his executive ability and zeal, a
handsome and commodlus church and
reotory were erected. Fathers Brady
and Lynch, of Reynoldsvllle, attended
the funeral service at Brockwayvllle
and Father Brady went to Osceola to
attend the service at that place.
Be Natural.
Heaven help the man who imagines
be can dodge enemies by trying to please
everybody! If such an Individual ever
succeeds, pass him over this way that
we may have one look at his mortal re
mains ere he vanishes away, for surely
this earth cannot be his abiding place.
Now we do not infer that one should be
going through this world trying to find
beams to knock and thump his head
agalnBt, disputing every man's opinion,
fighting and elbowing and crowd
ing all who differ from him. That,
again, is another extreme. Other
people have their opinions, so have
you. Don't fall into the error of sup
posing they will respect you more for
turning your coat everyday to match
the coloV of theirs. Wear your owa
clothes in spite of wind and weather,
storms and sunshine. It costs the ir
resolute ten times the trouble to wind,
and shuffle, and twist than i does hon
est manly independence to stand.

DANGEROUS FIRE
AT SYKESVILLE
Plant of the Sykesville Milling
Company Was Destroyed
By Fire.
A fire which destroyed one of Sykes
ville's industries and entailed a severe
loss upon the owner, broke out at
about 3:30 o'clock Wodnesnay morn
ing and only the hand of kind prov
idence prevented the blaze from
spreading and wiping out the majority
of buildings of town.
The fire was discovered by Jebu
Jehu and J. J. Jefferies at the hour
above mentioned at the plant of the
Sykesville Milling Company whloh was
located near to their homes and also
close to the business corner of town.
When discovered, the flames bad
gained such a headway as to mane
it Impossible to save the plant so that
Messrs. Jebu and Jeffries Btarted out
through the town calling a general
alarm.
The inflammable character of the
buildings in the neighborhood and
the lack of water to combat the flames
caused consternation among those who
had been rudely aroused -Jrom their
slumbers and those who had collected
at the scene of the fire could only look
on and hope that the blaze would not
spread to the adjoining buildings.
A slight fall of rain and a heavy at
mosphere kept the sparks and heat
within a safe limit and' although some
of the nearby houses were for a short
time in great danger and there was
practically no water to stay the flames
should they spread, no other buildings
were Ignited.
The plant of the Milling Co. was
totally destroyed. The loss as esti
tlmated by A. L. Zimmerman, the
owner, is td,500y against an insurance
of $3,000. Sykesville Port-Dispifc.
