ordered. Of quality combining more
toughness with n sufficient degree Of hard
ness, and experiments will be continued to
test the relative merits Of the several de-
scriptions Of rail. Much confidence is felt
that the result Of the trials will demonstrate
the superiority Of the steel rails for gencr-
al use. An experiment made some months
since to convert the upper surface OF iron
rails into steel, without affecting the
strength Of the remaining portion of the

ELECTION FRAUDS.

How shall they be defeated to-day 1t ap'
pears that large number Of names have
been placed upon the registry OF persons not
entitled to vote. This ought to have been de-
feated by the Inspectors of Registry. One Of
the opportunities having passed by, it remains
to arrest it at the polls.
Those who represent party organizations al
the polls, and all good citizens, should take
measures to challenge every one Of these new
names placed upon the Registry on Friday and
Saturday, and put them to the closest scrutiny
and to their oaths, except in cases of well-known
citizens.
Wherever it appears that man has offered
to vote who has not the right, he should be
ordered into custody by the Inspectors, and the
police should take him and charge him with a
misdemeanor for false registering and false
voting. If he has sworn falsely, he should be
charged with perjury. A little thorough work
of this kind in the morning will defeat this
scheme Of fraud.
The registry lists for Wards where the creates
amount of fraud will be attempted will be found
in other columns, and should be carefully
scrutinized.

the compulsion of detestcd necessity He
