honor could not have been bestowed on
a more worthy son than Mr. Caine.
Mr Caine is now serving his second

best workmen In the Quaker City. In
Philadelphia he engaged In the con-tracting

his residence in this city until 1869.
when he accepted a position with the
Alan Wood Co., of this borough, as
superintendent ol the brick work and
repairs. -Mr. Caine built the large East
Mill of the Wood Company, in 1873.
and is considered one of the most ex-pert
furnace builders in Pennsylvania.
He Is a man of thoroughly domestic
habits; taking great pride in beauti-fying
his already beautiful home, In
fast his only other diversion Is poll-lies.
and his great interest In those
arc only for just and efficient govern-ment,
he being affiliated with no par-ticular
faction. He is just a plain,
fair minded Republican, always ready
to give his support to the man best tit-led
for the office, regardless of factlon-ll
or personal differences.
.Nil- Caine is a man with a high sense
if honor, of the strictest Integrity, he
on mnnds the respect of every one and
la greatly esteemed by his friends. As
Pre i,l, in of Council his executive abil-ity
is recognised; the fairness of his
Incisions are never questioned, his
