CHANGE OF THE GUAGE OF THE
ERIE RAILWAY.

President Watson, of the Erie Railroad,
has been talking frankly 10 a reporter of
necessary changes in the plans for the fu-
ture. He says that it is essential to alter
the gauge. Erie can at present make no
connections with a four foot nine inch
track. The load will be reftted in
many ways. The cost Of the
change is estimated at from $780,
100000 to S2OO,OO00OO, but this it is
urged viii be nothing compared with the
benefits TO be derived. The Board of Di-
Iectors had decided to make it. No other
portion of the rolling stock but the track
will have to be changed. The work will
commences immediately, and will be done
within i've years. During that time Nh.
Watson said the stockholders viii not re-
ceive single dividend. Under the present
system Ecie can never be made to pay; IN
der the new system it would pay immedi-
atelY.

Connecticut Town Elections.

Special Dispatch to Louisville Courier-Journal.
Connectisut Revoauticnized.
NEW YORK, Oct. THE tribune has
dispatches from over half the Connecticut
towns. The State is revolutionized by the
Liberal gains, which are far In advance of
what was expected. A few Of the returns
taken at random are as follows: We gain
213 in Meridian. We carry Danbury by
240; last spring Republican by 2l5.
Mansfield by rs; last spring Republican by
So. The old staunch Republican town of
Brooklyn goes for the Greeley ticket by
ID. New Canaan Is Liberal for the
first time in fifteen years. Middle
town by 800. Waterbury by so and
over-a gain. Bristol, Windsor Locks,
Kedgfeld, New Milford, are Liberal, and
Old Sufield by 70. Towns that have been
invariably Republican for nearly twenty
years have now elected the Greeley ticket.
In other strong Administration strongholds
the majorities are reduced. One half the
State is largely Liberal. Even that Gibral-
tar Of Radicalism, the town of Windham,
goes Liberal. Vernon's 301 Grant Repub-
hcan majority is cut down to 201. Man
chester's $50 is cut down to 9. In Hart
ford, Mr.. Stilman, the salaried and man
aging town officer, was on both tickets, as
were several other important officers; so
that little interest was manifested, and q
light vote polled, each party giving about an
equal number of votes. 49,.

State have been heard from. Fifty-eight

have gained eight towns which were wholly

The first set Of sayages are now on the high road
to distinction. If they keep on killing our sol
diers, they will soon become chiefs. Then they
will kill more, and become celebrated chiefs.
Then they will be carried on to Washington at
the expense Of the people they have been doing
their best to destroy. They will be talked to,
and paid for their kindness in hearing by being
lodged and fed in frst~class hotels. They will
then be sent back to the plains, will be given
rifles with which to kill more soldiers, and horses
with which to escape, and will be let loose to
burn, ravish, torture, and slay, until the exter-

severity will become necessity. Nowadays, the

Those Of the Ohio electors who voted On the
9Th inst, cast 256, 600 ballots for Wikof, Grant
candidate for Secretary Of State, and 244 900 for
Wiley, Greeley candidate for the came Office.
The difference in the popular vote is, it will be
seen, bnt Il, 900. Yet that difference elects six
Congressman. The Grant party carried thir-
teen districts; the Liberals but seven. The
cause Of this outrageous disproportion between
popular and Congressional majorities is, Of
course, the system-for it has become system
of gerrymandering. It is a sign Of the
decadence of popular integrity that
the party In power not only justi-
fes it's delegates to the Legislature,
where they set themselves to the task Of cheating
the minority out Of its just representation in the
House, but demands that they shall do 80.

The Police Commissioners, last night pre-
sented to the Common Council the draft OF an
ordinance for the closing Of saloons and all other
places for the sale Of liquor. The ordinance
provides that any person who shall, during the
night time, after IL p. NJ, keep open ''any
saloon grocery, victua1ling, or other house or
place for selling, giving away, or dealing in
any "vinous, spirituous, ardent, intoxi-
eating, or fermented liquors, to be
drunk in or about the premises, or
who shall, during the same hours, sell or give
away, or deal in such liquors, to be drank on the
premises, shall be subject to fine Of not less
than $40 nor more than $780," Druggists are
exempted from the operations Of the ordinance.
The ordinance does not contain any reference
to closing the saloons on Sunday. It simply
provides that all places where liquor is sold shall
be closed at II p. m, and be kept closed during
the s:night time" thereafter, which means, prob
ably, until daylight.
The ordinance did not meet very favorable
reception in the Council, and was finally referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary. The ordi-
nance evidently aims at driving all persons
home at II o'clock by cutting of the supply Of
refreshments at that hour.
