AUSTIN IS MARSHAL.
f. c. BRODIE,
THE SUMPTER MINER.
Recount of Votes by Council
Changes the Result.
It will be remembered th.it at the recent
illy election there was supposed to he a
tie on the vote (or marshal, Austin and
l.anavan each receiving yo, which was to
have heen decided by lot at the meetliiK "f
the council Saturday evening. Instead,
the candidate!) Interested agreed to have a
recount, each, of course, hoping that there
had been some mistake and that the new
uimit would laud III 111 a winner. Messrs
.Manning and I hillock were appointed
special clerks to again go over the ballot
and 1. isl up the result, George Baker
gained one vote over the previous count,
giving him ;K; Canavau's vote remained
iiiuh.inged at on, and Austin gained one,
making Ids vote loo and himself marshal.
So It stood oS, )j, 100 entirely too close
tor comfort. It must make one leel like
he had been playing poker for eighteen
hours and iilt the game even.
The council passed .1 resolution chang
ing the name of High street to I'iiie. '
The city attorney made a verbal report
on the matter of the Suinpter Valley rail-1
ro.id appropriating a public street, which i
was to the effect that little progress has I
yet been made, o vlng to the fact that an
abstract of title has not yet been secured.
I he committee on lire and water re
pirt'd that a decision had been readied to
build hose houses on the school house lot
and net to the city hall, which was ap
proved and the buildings ordered erected.
The committee to which was referred
the matter of investigating the condition
of the water ditch which runs through
town, was given another week In which
to make its report.
