Those rumors about the way Mr. Gompers was going to fail of re-election seem to have been decidedly premature. Just one vote against him!

It was thought perhaps some hint of the late Jay W. Williams’ contemplated suicide would be given in the letter mailed to his daughter in Chicago the morning of the suicide, the contents of which were unknown at thfe time of The Democrat’s going to press last Friday.

Williams.” Nothing has been found in his des\ £>r among his papers that would row any, light on the suicide, either. ' -

Clarence Smith and Charley Porter, sons W. F. Smith and Walter Porter, respectively, went up to Parr Saturday night to attend a box social. Their city ways did dot set very well with some of the young lads up there, and as they were coming out of the school building they were the targets for a volley of eggß, * not the stale kiud os -it was too late in the season, but good fresh ones worth 26 cents per dozen. The boys are said to have escaped the missies but the young ladies they were accompanying Misses Blanche Babcock and Ocle Wood, were' struck—or one of them was—and her dress soiled. They took refuge at W. L. Wood’s residence and Logan accompanied them to the corporation limits as a body guard when they got ready to leave town. Such actions are not very gentlemanly, to say the least, ahd if the names of the egg throwers can be learned they will be prosecuted, it is said.
