They played all the week to week to poor houses and in the end became stranded, and their baggage was seized by Sheriff MYERS and held as payment for board at the Tioga House, Miss Helen, who seemed to be the only lucky one, had money to settle her bill, which she did, and with her wardrobe, (which was said to be worth about $3,000) returned to New York.

Quite a heated discussion occurred Monday night at one of our popular hotels between a number of prominent politicians, of the same party, as to who should be the next Supervisor and postmaster.
