Tuv DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES were held
on saturday last, and the scenes enacted
by Tie. majority Of that partyin the Sth
Ward were such As could be expected BY
those who have known Of the class of
work which had been carried on among
the faithful for several days previous. A
report was started carly last week TINT or
ders had been issued for free distribu-
tion OF beer. The rumOr spread with as
tonishing rapidity, and political discussions
became more vigorous than ever; Dnt
when the report was confirmed by the ap-
pearance OF the beer ON THURSDAY the eX-
element knew no bounds. The places
where the treasure was deposited became
at once extremely popular, and by Friday
night tho votaries OF free and unlimited
beer became sufficiently primed TO make
night hideOus with their carOusals and
drunken revelry. Theconduct OF these pa
triots was annoying TO the citizensof Ritch-
ietown to the last degree, but it Is some
comfort to know that the result hasalready
been the conversion OF large number Of
good honest DemocratstO the Republican
faith, and who will, when the day OF cleo
tion comes, rebuke by their votes the con-
duct OF such midnight brawlcrs and peace
breakers. AnxiOusly did the unterrihed
await the opening OF the polls, and when
once in position series OF occurrences
took place which fairly equalled, il they
did NOT excel, those OF the palmiest days
Of Boss Tweed in New York, or the hal
cyon days Of Plug Ugly rule in Balh-
more.
The plan, that Of bull-dozingand intimi-
dating voters, was formed III some OF the
saloons on Friday night, and under the
direction of skilliul managers the pro-
cramme was fully carried out.
Subjoined is table Of the votes given.
An asterisk is attached TO the names OF the
Hook delegates; the following three are
the Brockunier men, and the last three
Todd men.

EVER since DR.. VIM. N. Giles, Of 45l
Sixth avenue, extended q frank invitation
TO owners OF lame horses TO bring their
equine property round to his place oil bus;
iness for free treatment, the corner OF
Twenty-seventh street and Sixth avenue
has come to resemble a horse fair. The
Doctors bold defiance, which IL thus thrust
upon the curious attention Of his neigh
bors, is based on his earnest belief in his
IOdide Ammonia Linimeni, which is now
preferred to all others by the chief stock
raisers and sporting men OF the country.
A valuable horse Of the writer's was
kicked ON the hook. Swelling and lame
ness ensued, rendering the animal nearly
worthless. We were advised to try Giiea'
LinimeIit, and are gratified to say it acted
like a charm. About two inches of bone
came away, the sore healed up, and the
lameness and swelling are fast disappear

THERE is an advertisement in our col
umns to which we take much pleasure in
referring our readers, because we believe
in II and can conscientiously and heartily
recommend it. We refer to Halls Hair
Remover. We remember many cases in
our midst Of old and middle aged people
who formerly wore grey hair, or whose
locks were thin and faded, but who now
have presentable head pieces, and with
no little pride announce to their friends
that they haven't q grey hairin their heads
1t is pardonable pride, and the world
would be better off, ifthere was more Of
it, for when the aged make themselves at
tractive to others they arc more certain to
win and retain the esteem and respect to
which burthen OF well spent years en-
titles them. Try Halls Hair Remover il
age or disease has thinned or whitened
your locks and you will thank us for our
advice.-Pdn-Hdndle Nelzs, Helisburg, W. Va.

Edition. Of lntslllrneer,
Please insert the following card in
your valuable journal;
The statement in the Standard OF Satrr-
iay that eight Of the prominent men went
to Mr.. oesierling and offered to 90 to
work providing he would stop ladling ont
the pots is incorrect. We desire to say
that there arc no ring leaders. Some Of
the men did make proposition that i
he would give the men until
Sunday evening to 60 to work
they would guarantee satisfactory
answer. He refused, and demanded that
the men should sign an article agreeing 10
20 to work regardless Of the action OF the
Association. They replied that they could
not do that. Mr.. Ocsterling answered that
he must have an answer by Saturday at
noon, which would have been at three
hours notice; We gave them weeks no.
tice. We regret that the affair has taken
the turn il has, and now drop the whole
subject. THE GLASS BLOWERS.

A SHOCKING GFFAlR--LITTLE GIRL BURN-
ED TO DEATH. The alarm of fire from box
No. liz at II o'clock Yesterday morning,
was caused BY an explosion OF coal oil ut
the residence Mr.. William AlHgee, 18th
street, near Alley Z. The fire depart
ment quickly repaired TO the scene but
their services were not needed as the flames
had been eXtinguished before their arrival.
We regret TO relate however, that the
result OF the fire was the horrible
and fatal burning OF Mrs. Magec's
little eleven wear old daughter Lizzie, q
bright and promising child who, in com.
pany with Younger sister, had beenleft at
home TO keep house and get dinner for the
family while the mother sat church. Be
tween half-past ten and eleven o'clock Liz;
zie, thinking TO have everything prepared
for the noon meal on her mother return,
set about getting the dinner, and in order
to hasten the fire poured some coal oil
from q can upon the apparently dy-
ing Goals Instantly the blaze shot
up and coming in contact with the con;
tents OF the oil can, an explosion followed
enveloping poor Lizzie, her sister and
cousin, who had in the meantime come in
in flames. The cousin ran out OF doors
and home, about half block below,
where the flames were put out and her
injuries, which were painful but not ser
ious, attended to. The noise OF the
explosion drew the neighbors 10 the scene
of the tragedy, and one OF them, Mr. Jas.
GRAY, threw blanket over Lizzie, which
had the effect of extinguishing tho flames.
Medical aid was summoned and the poor
child found to have been burned to crisp.
Her case was at once pronounced hopeless,
still everything that kindness or science
could suggest was done, but without avail,
and after lying in great agony until quar-
ter past six O'Clock last night, death
relieved her Of her pain. The other sister
was somewhat burned, but not seriously,
and she will soon be able to be about.
Some OF the furniture also took fire at the
time OF the explosion, but it was put out
without the aid OF the department.

produce at the wharf in respect TO the
police who have their beats in that part OF
The city. They say that whenever dep
relation is committed an officer Is gener.

ance. The scarcity OF blue-coats when
boats loaded with melons are at the wharf
Is particularly noticeable.
