Society, and the officers of the Ann Arbor Driving Club by which the latter will have the use of the fair grounds for driving and exerising purposes. This probably rneans a good track. A new hook and ladder truck has been ordered constructed by the board of fire commissioners.

Walker, alderman of the 3rd ward, having been appointed adjutant of the soldiers' home, by Commandant Manly, has resignedhis alderrnanic position, and the 3rd ward will have two city fathers to elect instead of one. The appointment of Mr. Walker is one generally commended and he is to be congratulated upon his good fortune. The charter amendments have passed the legislature, been signed by the governor, and Aun Arbor is 400 acres larger than she w:i and ]rob:ibly 200 inhabitants more nurnerous.

Dundee Reporter : "Win. Haskins and family will remove to Ann Arbor next week, to become residents of that city.

The annual after Easter social of the Knights Templar occurred at Masonic Temple Monday evening and was attended by upwards of one hundred couple. It was one of the happiest events of the year, and Manager Sir Knight Miner was in his usual happy mood. He never takes hold of anything but he makes a success of it. Chris. Donnelly got to wrestling with a burning chimney at his residence on E. Ann St., last Friday p. m., and after using a bucket-full of salt, and several other extinguishers with apparently no effect, he called out the flre department. The boys rushed up there, looked at the blaze for a second or two and it subsided, without costs to either party. E. Ann St., from División to State, is one of the most traveled streets in the city. It is the only street leading to the new hospital, and as a consequence the heavily loaded wagons have cut it up fearfully and put in the worst shape of any street in the Corporation. Being a narrow street travel wears it more than the ordinary streets, and it should be cared for. Every resident of Ann Arbor will commend the enterprise and energy of the Ann Arbor Water Co., in sinking wells for the city water supply. The new wells are flowing ones and at present give forth about 800,000 gallons daily. This, with the regular supply, will give to our citizens a continual supply of good spring water the year around and Ypsilanti can erow over us no longer iu this resoect. The democrats, with 200 or more majority at their back in this city, have, with their usual timidity, called their caucuses after the republican caucuses and convention, on Thursday and Friday evenings. It seems as if they ought to have pluck enough by this time to nomínate a ticket regardless of the republicans. From the present outlook the democratie ticket will be : Mayor - Louis Liesemer or M. E. Cooley. Clerk- Jas. R. Bach or Will Miller. President of the council - Fred A. Howlett or W. G. Doty. Assessor- P. O'Hearn. Justice - E. B. Pond or Chas. H. Kline. In the various wards the nominations are still in a chaotic state. There will be no lack of aspirants. N. B. Covert is in a precarious condition as far as his rights of franchise are concerned. The new city line passes directly through his house, dividing his bedroom in about the center, and as his bed stands directly on the line, the foot is in Ann Arbor town and the head in Ann Arbor city. We understand that he would be justified in voting in both precints and then allow the supreme court to decide which part of his body is legally entitled to vote ; whether it would be legal for his lower limbs, which are residents of the township to carry his head and shoulders to the city pollina places or not, or vice versa. A friend 8uggests that he coukl comproinise the matter by voting a split ticket. Of course this suggestion comes from a democrat whoseeksto gain an advantage thereby, but we do not think lic will. This is probably one of the inosi intricate questkms relating to the right of suffrage fchat lias over been known. John Eagan, of Elizabeth st., aged 72 years, died on Saturday of heart failure. John Jacob Schaefler, residing on V. Huron St., died last Friday evening, aged 93 years. The Lenten savings of St. Andrew's Sunday school amounted to $35.58. The collection Sunday morning was $115.

Walker expects to leave Ann Arbor to assume his new duties in the Soldiere' home at Grand Rapids on or about April 15th.

Orcutt, of Ann Arbor town, died in Detroit Saturday, and lier remains were brought to this city for interment in Forest Hill cemetery. The abstract business of Capt. C. H.

There was a class of 67 confirmed at St. Andrew's Episcopal church last Saturday evening. This is the largest class ever confirmed in the church, and contained not only a number of young gentlemen and ladies, but a large number of married people. Mrs. Williams, relict of the late Prof. George P. Williams, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Duane Doty, in Chicago last Saturday, and her remains were brought to this city Saturday, the funeral services being held Sunday from St. Andrew's Episcopal church, of which she was a member for many years. Mrs. Williams was one of the leading ladies of Ann Arbor society thirty or more years ago, and many a student of the University of the earlier dayi, will remember her hospitality with feelings of pleasure and gratitude. On Saturday night and Sunday last the authorities of the S.Lyons & Northern R. R., sent a gang of upwards of 100 men to tear up the track of the South Lyon branch of the road from Leland's to South Lyon. They commenced in about the center and worked both ways, and by Monday morning had the road stripped" of its iron with the exception of about two miles. The balance will probablybe taken upsome Sunday when no injunction can be served. The farmers along the line who gave their good money to build the road are very indignant and promise the company trouble. Probably the end is not vet. The annual parish meeting of St. Andrew's chureh was held yesterday a. in., at the church. C. H. Richmond and John M. Wheeler were reelected wardens, and E. Treadwell, C. S. Denison, II. J. Brown, J.

An evening entertainment "Among the Monuments," will be given next Friday evening under the auspices of the Young People's Society of the Baptist church. Every liberty-loving nation possesses its historie grounds, ita monuments and its ruins, marking various epochs in its national growth. Though America is a young nation it possesses many of each of these. In a single evening it is impossible to review all, and therefore the hour will be devoted to the consideration of historie Gettysburg. The work of the Battle-field Memorial Association, the size of the field, the plan of the battle, the locatkm of Gettysburg with its converging roads, the composition of the two armies etc, illustrated with views, will be considered. Many of the handsome monurnents now erected upon this field as well as Petersburg and other places, will be shown by lantern views. Good music is provided and an enjoyable time is expected. Come.
