The town meeting in McHenry on Tuesday passed off very quietly, but at the same time a good deal of earnest work was done. There were, as usual, two tickets in the field, viz., the Union Ticket, headed by P. K. Granger for supervisor, and the Peoples' Ticket, headed by John Huemann. For the office of town clerk, assessor and col­ lector there was no opposition, the names being the same on both tickets. The result was the election of the en­ tire Union ticket by majorities rang­ ing from one to one hundred and seven. Granger, for supervisor, had a majority over Huemann of 107, while Eldredge, for constable, had a majority over Wightman of 1 vote. The fol­ lowing are the names of the officers elected: Supervisor--P. K. Granger. Town Clerk--F. G. Mayes. Assessor--Peter Rothermel. Collector--Mathias Heimer. Commission of Highways--Allen P. Colby. Conatable--Chas. T. Eldredge. ANDERSON SAVES HIS SEAT. | AN ORDINANCE. ! Accepting and opening part of Water street in the village of McHenry, Mc­ Henry county, Illinois.

The recount in the Burns-Anderson contest was finished by the sub-com­ mittee Wednesday afternoon of last week and the result is announced to be in favor of Anderson, who retains his seat by a majority of 147 i votes. Anderson's majority before the recount was 62 and his gain on the recount was therefore 85$. Mr. Burns returned from Springfield on Thursday. He says that until the | last few precincts in McHenry county j were reached he was in the lead. Finally a precinct in Harvard was tak­ en up and it was found that 93 votes had been counted for Mr. Burns twice. That ended the contest. The errors made in the precincts thruout the district were surprisingly numerous and especially so in McHen­ ry county. In Belvidere Mr. Burns gained 25i in the third precinct, but lost 10 in the second. Anderson'gained 9 in the fourth and 9 in the fifth precincts and lost 21 in the second.
