Election Returns. 
Election returns were received at 
Manchester over a special wire of the 
Postal Telegraph company, which had 
been run into the Town hall, and excel- 
lent service was given, beginning at 6 
o’ clock and lasting until 12. Frank G. 
Cheever was in charge. From all sec- 
tions of the country the results of the vot- 
ing was flashed over the wire and Man- 
chester, simultaneously with other towns 
and cities, was able to get the returns 
and see how the country was going. 
A good size crowd were on hand all 
evening, from six o'clock until twelve. 
The New Eng. Tel. and Tel. Co., 
also gave excellent service to those of its 
subscribers who requested the service. 
In the collection and distribution of re- 
turns of the National and State elections, 
the telephone not only demonstrated its 
nimbleness, but, in a most surprising 
manner, its ubiquity. It was literally 
everywhere. In fact it was there and 
back’’ so quickly and so accurately 
‘that election bulletins were gathered and 
forwarded from every point in the

country with a speed and a completeness 
hitherto unapproached. 
What the New England Telephone 
& Telegraph Company did in its terri- 
tory was, in a general way, what the 
other Bell companies of the country did, 
in the effort to promote the desired re- 
sult. Each individual company was then 
able to “* swap’’ information with every 
other company through the agency of the 
great long-distance connecting com- 
pany—the American Telephone & Tel- 
egraph Company—that binds them into 
a great national organization. 
Cong. Gardner's Vote. 
The vote given Congressman A. P. 
Gardner of Hamilton was a splendid 
tribute to the record of our representa- 
tive in Congress. The vote was 24,077 
to 7645 for his Democratic opponent. 
This is a plurality of 16,513, the largest 
plurality given to any other congressman 
in the state. Manchester’s vote for 
Congressman Gardner was 324, as 
against 123 for Withington. The Bev- 
erly Farms vote was 182 to 49, and 
Magnolia voted 43 to 17, in favor. 
Senator Shaw's Vote. 
Senator James F. Shaw of Manches- 
ter was re-elected to the senate from this 
district. His margin, however, was 
comparitively small, considering the nor- 
mal Republican vote. He won out in 
every town and city of the district, ex- 
cept Gloucester. He was ““knifed’’ in 
Gloucester. His total vote was 4459 as 
against 3666 for Smith, the Democratic 
candidate. All the towns in the district 
gave him strong support, including Ips- 
wich. ‘The vote:

Some thirty-six members of William 
Jeffrey colony, Pilgrim Fathers, 
journeyed to the home of their 
president, James Salter, at the Dex- 
ter Farm, Forest street, Monday even- 
ing, and tendered Mr. Salter a surprise 
party,---and a genuine and complete sur- 
prise it was, too. “The crowd made the 
trip in a large wagonette and arrived at 
the house about eight o’clock. Mr. 
Salter was busily engaged at writing and 
was surprised when one or two of his 
male friends walked in, ostensibly on a 
little call, but when the door was opened 
again and almost two score men and 
women came in it was too much for 
Mr. Salter. He ‘‘ caught on’’ then, 
but it was the first intimation that he was 
the victim of a surprise party. The 
party was given in honor of Mr. Salter’s 
43d birthday, which he celebrated in- 
formally on !the {day before,---Nov. 1. 
In behalf of the gathering P. H. Boyle, 
in appropriate words, presented him 
with a handsome large parlor lamp, a 
box of cigars, a fancy briar pipe and _ last 
but not least, in Mr. Salter’s estimation, 
at least, a package of chewing gum. 
Undismayed by the sudden developments 
Mr. Salter responded and gave over the 
whole house to his visitors,---all but 
himself. A delightful evening was 
passed. Refreshments were served con- 
sisting of ice cream, cake, fruit, coffee, 
etc., and the party broke up about mid- 
night, all joining in wishing Mr. Salter 
many years more of happy life. 
Awarded Medal by Society. 
The Mass. Humane society has re- 
warded John F. Conroy with a medal for 
his bravery in rescuing young Walton 
Scully of Pittsburg from drowning in the 
surf at Singing Beach, Manchester, last 
August. 
Conroy, it will be remembered was at 
Manchester for the summer. On the 
day of the rescue he was standing on the 
beach with others watching the high surf 
kicked up by the storm of a day or two 
before. Young Scully, who was only 
10 years old, but a good swimmer for his 
age, had ventured too far out, being 
carried out by the strong undertow, un- 
consciously. When he turned to swim 
ashore he realized his position. He 
struggled to make progress toward the 
beach, but all in vain. Conroy was the 
first to notice the lad’s plight. He dove 
in and after a hard and swift swim 
reached the side of the almost ex- 
hausted lad. The struggle to reach 
shore, against the strong undertow and 
wind, was almost too much for Conroy 
even, but he finally got in past the 
breakers, thoroughly exhausted,
