Before the Election.

There was considerable excitement in New
York on Monday evening about the election
Dispatches say -
General Schaler's order calling out the 22d,
It'll, 18th and list regiments for service on
election day caused great excitement. II
| happens that these regiments are American
and composed of Reformers, and inasmuch as
the order required them to report at A. M
and stay at their armories all day, it was
thought that the Reform vote would thus
lose large number of votes. The afternoon
papers exposed the contemplated fraud and
Gen. 5 halel has sine, ordered that he men
be told oil by companies to vote.
The prospect of a riot in the Bradley
O'Brien district is very lively. The people
are all in favor of O'Brien, but Bradley owns
the police. To-day a Bradley wagon with
| banners and bell passed through the streets,
guarded by platoon of police, the rage of
the populace being feared.
Frauds to the amount of over $50, 900 have
been discovered in the building of the Ninth
district court house. The,warrants were all in
dorsed by Senator Genet, and prove that Gen
ct received third share of all the money
that has been spent for the court house. The
cellar wall has just been laid, and the money
spent so far runs over 100000. Genet is
| one of the Tammany ring.
Tom Fields, commissioner of parks and
Tammany candidate for the Assembly, was
| arrested to-day, charged with robbing the city
of 100000. His bail was fixed at $500, 900.
So far, he has been unable to procure bonds
men. He is now at his residence, guarded
by deputy sheriffs. His opponent for the
Assembly is Horatio Seymour.
Later-The rioting in the Bradley district
has already begun. At midnight United
States Marshal attempted to arrest Owen
Georg hegan, a notorious desperate, in the
Twenty-frst Ward. Georghegan had filled
his rum-shop with reporters to use in Brad
ley's interest. The whole party resisted the
| arrest, and terrible fight ensued. The
| fight spread into the street and assumed the
proportions of a riot.
At one A. M. it was rumored that the mil
itary had been ordered out. At the O'Brien
| headquarters tonight fight occurred. in
which one of Bradley's police was choked
and thrown down stairs. He reported to the
| station that Sheriff O'Bren was his assailant
and platoon of police are now(l A. M
looking for O'Brien's friends and declare it to
be ''put up job" and will resist all attempts
to arrest him. Everything portends a
bloody election.

The Double Suicide at Lewiston.

The Journal states that Anna Wood had
for some time meditated suicide and has been
endeavOring to to persuade several of her
friends to join her in committing the act.
She tried to persuade several young ladies
employed in one of the Auburn shoe factories
to drown themselves with her. One of them
asked her how she could dare do such a
thing. II believe neither in Heaven nor
HE'LL said she. 1t appears that Anna and
Ada on Friday forenoon, an hour or two be-
fore the suicide, made application at shoe
factory in Auburn for employment.
We forbear to repeat the prevailing rumors
of the cause or causes which brought Anna
Wood, the leader and planner to this suicidal
tragedy, in which Ada Brown only yielded to
her persuasion, to such desperate state of
mind. These rumors point to the old story
of ''one more unfortunate" However this
may be, it is probable that her resolution to
take her own life was not caused by actual
want, or fear of coming to want-for she was
in no danger of either. Perhaps it may have
been simply diseased mind, wrought to a
dangerous pitch by her lonely condition in
life-father dead, mother far away and APP
parenty unconcerned as to her daughters
condition, and no one having special care for
her. Even If her mind had been in a healthy
condition, her habit of being out unattended
in the evening to very late hour, which
Ada Brown was following, were dangerous
and demoralzing-if not to character-at
least to healthy thoughts and right views of
lite.
If there is one lesson more practical than
another, which this sad tragedy teaches, it is
the danger of allowing boys and girls to be
on the streets in the evening without the over
sight of parent or guardian. All experience
teaches that more boys and girls, more young
men and young women, are led into evil
ways by such habits than by almost any
other. The education of the sidewalk, the
street-corner, the saloon or other place of
evening resort for the young, is far too GER
tain in its downward tendencies. The place
for the young is at home, where the restrain
ing influence of parents and friends is felt,
and where the temptations which the wicked
display under the cover of darkness, are
avoided. Parents and guardians, always be
firm in declining to grant the requests of the
young to go out in the evening, unless you or
some adult person in whom you can have the
utmost confidence, are to accompany them.
The darkness of night is Satan's opportu-
nifty.
