Munisipal matters have beenmncli talked over during the past few days, uud have developed to a point where Bomethiug more or less defiuite can be announced. Ad will be seen elsewhere l)v. ChriBtoe is again willing to under- take the reeveship. Mr. D. McTavish of this place, also informs The Ad- vance that he is a prospcctivs con- testant. Air. Kells at one time lliought of trying it, but we believe he has about decided not to do so. These are the only names which have beeu brought to cm ears. It would make a nice little contest between Dr. C. and Mr. McTttvish, and prove very inter- esting. Wo believe th« present councillors will all be up for re elec- tion, and some of them, at all events, wiilh^ve opp.Eition, but no names c an as yet be mentioned. There was u fair sited war scare in New York last week and the stock market became panic stricken. We do not believe that war will come be- tween Spain and the States on Ihib oc- casiou, but the U, S. gorernment ];as for year.8. heen travelling in the ducction of a gi.od sound thrashing i^umsome of the powers, and it is bound to como sooner or later. The L'liited btatos is becoming more and i.iore like the proverbial hoy with the tMpoii his shoulder, and it canuol lany this amunJ forever with im- pui.ily. It will have to get the chip knocked off and a punch or two iu the Vila before it can settle down to a Dcilate place among iho powers of the \.oild. Its polyglot population.drawn i'ioi;i the worst element of every nation undjr the suu, makes it a sort of an Isl.niaclite on the earth. Its best men recognize and deplore thisfact u;id feur the inevitable consequences. When thid foreign element beoouies BO strong that it will control the two i;ieul legiblaiivo halls the time of iwckouing will have arrived.

WHS still fierce, were the two survivors of the wreck â€" one the second male, the other a deck hand, Willinni Oill. After trying in vain to reach the ex- hausted sailors with small boats, and finding that the boats wuuld iVot live in the sea, Captain Frank D. B(«)t of the Mariposa tried to rescue the men by throwing lines to them. The etfiTt was vain. The mate had not srength to seize the rope, and Gill's amis had stitl'uned around the nmst. Then Captain [loot worked the Mariposa up to the spar and dragged the sailors ab.iard. The Mariposa came into purt at 11 o'clock last ni'.;ht, bringing the two men, both in a state of roontal and physical collapse The mate went at once to his boarding house, leav- ing neither bis name nor address with bis rescurers. The Idaho left Buffalo at 2.35 o'clock last Friday afternoon, laden with paek- age-freiirht for Milw:;ukee. The gale cau^dit her before she reached Long Point, but Captain William Gillies de- cided he could weather the storm. So, instead of .teekiiig shelter east of the Point, the Idaho went on. It was not until slie had passed the Point by a dozen miles that thu Captain saw his folly. He tried to head the Idaho fur a place of shelter. In turning the old wooden steamer careened, and a great wave buru^ over her deck and ({Uenched her tires. Caught iu the trough of the sea and help- less, tht) Idaho sank ste-n first. The crew, heedless of the the captain's orders to go into ilie hold, da-ihedfor the lifeboats at the bow, but another wave swept th.:m and the boats into the storm, and they faied no better than the sailor whom they trampled to death in their wild rush from the bunks to the deck. The two men who live to tell the story were at the bow when the Idaho began to sink, lowering the anchor. The second mate took in the situation, and, as the bow rose in the air he sprang for the roof of the dt'ck-huuse, calliiiK ti Gill to foUow him. From the deck house roof they gained the spar and scrambled into the crow's-uest. And there the Mari- posa found them in the morning, Tlie Reevesliip ,T() the Eitor of The Adwmce. Dear Sib, â€" Would you permit nie to say that I have received S(di:italinns frimi the ratepayers of eveiy ward asking me to ai^ain become reeve of Aitemesia. The work, they say, is lc«Nened since the chaii-je for county councillors, and to one so nullaopiainted with municipal routine the labor tviuKI be diminished to a mini, mum. What 1 lave to say is this : If the township be in real earnest for econ- omy by curtailing expenses, oiid elect councillors to cairy out that detiro, then ns one who has a laii;e interest as a rate- payer I shall suffer myself to be elected for that purpose. If the township find a better man, however, no harm can arise. -W. S. CIIUISTUE. Horn LrOABD-At victoria, N. Y„ ou October 31, to Mr. and Mrs. F.. D. LcGaid, a Hon.
