At the city election last Wednes
day, Stephen Gallier was elected
mayor over A.’ McNair, by one
majority. The contest for the other
offices was almost as close, Geo. P.
Topping winnnmg out for municipal
judge over A. D. Morse, by three
votes while L. J. Radlev had about
the same majority over G. B ak for
councilman
The closeness of the election is no
doubt due to the extreme popular
ity of all the candidates, as they are
gentlemen of the highest degree,
and no matter who would have been
elected the city administration would
have* been in good hands.
The most unsatisfactory condition
of the whole election was that livre
was One more ballot in the box than
the clerks of election had registered
on tf»e books. How it all happened
is the^-perplexing question, but it is
presumed that at some time during
a rush tfef they failed to register a
name.
The situation is the more awkward
from the fact that that the election
laws make no provision for any
thing to be done in such cases
Some suggested the idea of another
election, but there is no law for such

• Fifield in Friday
The steamer Fifield left San Fran
cisco yesterday for Bandon and will
probably be in tomorrow. She will
resume regular runs to this place as
will also the steamer B ndon in the
near future. The Fifield is a first
class passenger boat anil carries
obout 7501,000 feet of lumber as well
as other freight. The Bandon, while
not a pas^engtr boat has about the
same carrying capacity as the Fi
field. These two boats together
with the Elizabeth and the schooners
that will be* constantly coming in
will liven things up around Bandon
to a considerable extent.
The Estabrook Co. have an
nounced that they, will carry freight
on the Fifield and Bandon for $3.00
per ton to Bandon and the freight for
up river points a ill be reduced to
$3.50 This is 50 cents cheaper
than has been the rate here-to-fore.
They also announce that they will
carry lumber and other freight to
San Francisco cheaper than any
steamer has ever yet done
I he an
nouncement of a lower rate will be
very welcome.
Pressey - Ruegnitz
A wedding in which all Bandon-
ians are especially interested was
solemnized at Marshfield Monday
when R. M. Pressey, the esteemed
manager of the Bandon Creamery
Co. and Miss Marie E. Ruegnitz of
McGregor, la., were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock, Judge Pen
nock, officiating. The bride is a
stranger here but she is a young

A person of unquestionable in-

would be almost impossible) infoim-
ed the Recorder that during the
freshet last week al that place a fatal
accident was barely averted and one
which would have caused many
friends in Bandon to mourn not
with glee but with sorrow. Sam
Johnson, the genial purser of the
cruiser, Liberty, in crossing the
plank from the boat to the shore
took a tumble into the classic waters
of the Coquille, and but for the
promptness and coolness of Chief
Engineer Dunham who acted the
part of the Good Samaritan in fish
ing him out and landing him on
the deck of the steamer, he would
no doubt have remained in the crys

Washing Out North Bank
The breakers on the bar have
been constantly washing away the
sand or. the north side ol the Co
quille river anil unless something is
done in the near future to check
their fury, the residence of the light
house keepers will be in danger,
before long. One hundred sacks of
sand were deposited over there last
week which will give temporary re-

nature will have to be done in order
to secure the safety of the.building.
