The First Winter OF Rapid Transit.

City people are about to enter upon their
first winter of the experience Of that grand
boon, rapid transit and if they were de-
lighted with this easy, agreeable and won
deriully swift means of getting up and
down town in the summer, when the speed
of transportation was the only point Of
prominent contrast with the old method,
we believe their satisfaction will be enor-
mously increased when in the bad season
approaching they find themselves able to
reach their homes OF their Offices untouched
by the rains, undeterred by the deep slush
Of the snowy streets and ignorant almost
Of the cold days and nights. Only two
years ago we clamored day after day in the
HERALD for some contrivance on the street
cars by which the passengers feet might be
kept reasonably comfortable on the ter
ribly cold days, and the car companies
laughed at us, went to Albany and
spent little money and retained their priv
ilege to freeze their passengers. Perhaps
they would willingly warm their cars now
if that expense could restore them the enor-
nous returns that they fondly thought they
could never lose. Who would have believed
two years since that one should pres
emily be able to pass from the Post Office to
Forty second street in fifteen minutes, not
merely with warm feet, but in pleasant
roomy and well warmed vehicle! People
will find that this change will make differ
ence in their health. There will be fewer
bad colds, fewer cases Of bronchitis.
pleurisy and pneumonia, fewer cases Of the
exhaustions Of men and women of feeble
vitality from exposure to severe temperatures
and consequent neuralgias, not so many
wet feet, and n general reduction in the
volume Of winter ailments.

would in the pride of his omniscience con-
duet the nearest policeman to the exact
place where the remains are hidden and
give Inspector Murray memorandum Of
the names and post Office addresses
of the despoileis of the grave. In
different parts of the country out West
and down East-there are great many
clairvoyants. Their name is several

This has been understood this great while.
They have only to tnrn their attention to
any given topic to see through II forthwith.
Now, when we consider how great is this
power and how superior it is to ordinary
mortal methods, we cannot but regard 1T
as greatly to the honor of the ciairyoyants
that they refuse to be drawn from lofty
and proper reserve by the vulgar tempta-
tion of twenty-five thousand dollars One
clairvoyant, however, has shown some dis
position to descend from this high tone of

Curiosities OF tho Canvass.

The county canvass, which was COM
pleted on Saturday, presents some results
worthy of attention. The vote for Bradley,
democratic candidate for the Court of APP
peals, is S7,7l6. The vote for Schell, Tam
many candidate for Mayor, is GO, 485. This
shows that 27,231 democrats who voted for
Bradley did not vote for Schell, and gives us
about the correct anti-Tammany demo-
cratic strength. The vote for Danforth,
republican candidate for the Court OF Ap-
peals. is 81, 702. The vote for Cooper, COM
bination candidate for Mayor, is S0,0S6.
This shows that 2s,3S4 more votes were
cast for Cooper than for Danforth
We find here 1853 votes in excess
Of the difference between the votes of Brad
ley and Schell Looking at the greenback
vote, we find that Tucker, the greenback
candidate for the Court Of Appeals, gets
1888 votes, while Headley, the greenback
candidate for Mayor, receives only GAS
votes. We may conclude, therefore, that
the difference in the votes ofthese two candi-
dates-.1, $40 votes-were cast for Cooper for
Mayor, and this comes within 200 votes Of q
clean balance of the account, according to
this analysis.
The socialist strength in the city is shown
by the vote Of the party on Jonas, its candi-
date for Mayor, who receives 1,G40 votes.
This is about the number the socialists
might be expected to muster out Of poll
OF nearly 143, 1000. The party does not ap-
pear to have voted on the State ticket, the
total vote for the Judge of the Court Of
Appeals running 1902 behind that for
Mayor, or within 400 Of the socialist
vote The total vote for City Judge
runs 2, 300 behind that for Mayor, Judge
Bedford leading the Tammany ticket
Cowing's majority over Bedford is 1,G62
less than Cooper's over Schell. In the
Eleventh Congressional district Mr.. Nor
toms majority over the Tammany Congress-
man, Il. A. Willis, is only AZ less than
Willis entire vote, Willis polling 1000
votes, while Morton's majority is 7,0ls. The
First and the Eighth Assembly districts are
very close, Madigan, the Tammany candi-
date, winning in the First by G plurality,
and Patterson, also Tammany, in the
Eighth by H. But the closest Assembly
contest is found in Suffolk county, where
Duryea, the democratic Assemblyman, is
returned as elected over his republican
competitor, Carman, by vote, the figures
standing for Duryea 4,572 and for Carman
4,57l.

TUESDAY, Sept. 24-px
Below we print our usual weekly eummary n A..
movements of gTaiu and TO this statement We havs
added the movements Of the corresponding waat
of 1877 The receipts at each Of the Atlantic poyts
were less than for the preceding week of this veay
but largely in excess of the receipts OF the same
week of 1877 New-York gaming AZ per cent
Baltimore "a per cent, Philadelphia 90 per cent
and Boston 81 per cent OF the gain at New-York
the canals delivered s34, 900 bushels and the rail.
roads $50, 900 bushels. These figures show What
would have been the result of the extraordinarily
early movement Of gram If New-York had been
dependent upon its railroads. The railway rates
discriminating in favor of Baltimore and Philsde.
phia, evidently would have diverted large bro.
portion of NETWORKS receipts, as the system win
do after the close of navigation. At Buffalo, the
movement shows gain Of $4,000 bushels in the
deliveries by lake, and decline of 226,000 bushels
by the railways, as compared with the previous
week. The shipments from Buffalo show a gain
over the preceding week for the canal OF
100000 and q loss for the railroads Of
$4,000 bushels. ALI show q gain over the
corresponding week of 1877; that of receipts
by railroads, however. being only 10000 bushels.
The total movements at the Western portssof CHI
cagO and Milwaukee show decline from the pre-.
ceding week. But the receipts at Milwaukee were
slightly better, although showing loss of 100000
bushels, as compared with the same week of 1877.
At Chicago, the decline from last year was only
$1,000 blu hels, but the smallness of this decrease
as compared with that of Milwaukee, was due to
the large receipts of Winter wheat which came
from the Southwest, and not from the portion Of
country through which the Northwest and st. Paul
Railroads run.
The stock market to-day was only a continuation
of yesterdays. The Northwest shares the fea-
ture, and made further advance, followed by
sympathetic rise in the st. Pauls. Concerning the
Northwest shares, the most extravagant rumors Of
their future movements circulated, the why's
and wherefores of which are shrouded in mystery.
As to the St. Paul stocks, it is confidently expected
that at the meeting Of the directors tomorrow
"wednesday dividend win be declared on the pre-
ferred stock out of the earnings of six months end
ing the 30th of June. The trading in the re-
mander of the list was tame and unineresting; the
hnctuation of the trunk lines shares being within
narrow limits Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
yielding to 112l, and Rock Island rising to 119.
The coal stocks were neglected and inclined to
weakness, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western sell
