SUBSIDY ELECTIONS LOST IN BOTH TOWNSHIPS.

Newton Voted Against Project 68 to 20 and Carpenter Defeats It by Majority of 85. The proposition to vote a tax aid of one and one-half per cent in Carpenter and Newton townships to aid the Northwestern Indiana Traction Co., promoted by Eugene Purtelle, was defeated in both townships Saturday. In Newton township the vote was 68 against and 20 for. It is said that only seven of those who petitioned for the election voted for it. Their opposition was based on had faith on the part of Purtelle, who had promised to put) up a bond absolving the township from expense in. holding the election in case the project did not carry. Farm owners were for the most part much against the subsidy, and about all of them’ voted. Many of the tenants did not go to the polls. In Carpenter township there was a great amount of indifference. There were only 293 votes cast out of about 600 who were entitled to vote. Most of the votes cast were by property owners. There is no faith in Purtelle, according to reliable information received by the Republican and this fact was directly responsible for the defeat of the proposition. Remington and Carpenter townshipu are as anxious for the railroad as the people here are and for any good proposition that is backed by a business organization they will doubtless vote affirmatively. The vote in Carpenter township by precincts was: For Against East 60 West 26 75 50uth5...?.... 39 54 Total 104 ... I JB9 Majority against 85.

LOCKJAW CAUSES DEATH OF A YOUNG WIFE.

Mrs. Marion Robinson, Sick But Few Hours, Succumbs to Tetanus— Walnuts Caused the Poison. Mrs. Marion Robinson, 20 years of age last March, died Saturday evening at her home In the east part of this city of lockjaw or tetanus. She had been ill but a few hours and the physicians believe that the lockjaw was caused from eating green walnuts, the juice from which- infected a little sore on the inner side of her upper lip. y Mrs. Robinson had been in her usual health until Saturday morning and then she complained of being dizzy and of having a numb feeling in her limbs. She said that she feared she was going to have a stroke of paralysis. Her husband, who was not working, did the work about the house and Mrs. Robinson, after taking a headache powder, rested as well as she could. She was subject to sick headaches, at which times she would become dizzy and no fear of serious consequences was felt concerning her. At 12:30 Mr. Robinson left the house and came down town to be shaved, a neighbor remaining with his wife. He returned a half hour' later and soon after he reached home his wife was seized with a convulsion and became unconscious Two doctors were summoned and at 2:30 o’clock they decided that she was suffering from lockjaw. There is a serum treatm’ent for this disease, but the serum is not kept 'by local physicians and an unsuccessful effort was made to procure it from Lafayette. Mrs. Robinson’s delirium continued and she never regained complete consciousness, passing away at 5:30 o'clock, only a few minutes before her mother, Mrs. M. M. Crowder, arrival Mrs. L. H. Hamilton, a sister of the dead woman’s husband, was at the house from the time she was seized by the convulsions up to the time of her death. Mrs. Robinson had for some time been troubled with a peculiar swelling about the upper lip and it was thought about a year ago that this was a cancerous growth and she was treated by a specialist. Local doctors, however, say that there was a small fifcsure on the inside of the lip that would not heal permanently. Sometimes it would 1 heal for a short time and then break open, much as cold sores will do. They believe that the juice from green walnuts she had eaten had started the infection that resulted in tetanus. The lip and nose became considerably inflamed during the hours of her suffering. The maiden name of the deceased was Ella May Crowder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Crowder, who live southeast of Rensselaer. She was married and her husband was employed by the Hamilton & Kellner company. The funeral was held at 2 o’clock this Monday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn, of. the Christian church. Burial was made in Weston cemetery.

Had a Slight Cyclone in Newton Township Saturday.

Purtelle’s interurban railroad was not the only thing that was blown off the map in Newton township Saturday. At about 3:30 o’clock that afternoon when It was so dark in this city a strong wind from the southwest swept a narrow strip of land near D. 8. Makeever’s residence almost bare. A number of rigs were tied near the school house where the election was being held and before those who were on the election board could get out some of Jibe buggies had been turned over. At Swaney Makeever’s a large tree was blown down and part of a windmill and these fell across the telephone wires, breaking them Badly. The wind then swept a strip through a corn field about 16 feet In width. The damage was not very serious.
