Tho snorins Contest

Sofar as we can learn In the con test
between Sheriff elect Martin and Pur-
nall ], Lynch no decision has been
reached, though the friends OF Mr.. mar
tin, amongst whom are many Demo-
Gratis, are confident that he will receive
the commission. The friends OF Mr..
Lynch have engaged the services OF l.
G. Grubb, ESD, TO represent him TO
Governor Hall.
All the te tecbnicaii:ies like those urged
again at the Mill Creek Hundred returns
have been abandoned and the majority
of nine for Martin admitted, ana the
legality of the certificate Issued to Mr..
Martin alone Is now questioned,
The grounds of illegslity Is alleged IN
not recei wing the signature OF majority
of the inspectors, though fourteen RI -
publican and three Democrat inspectors
signed the certificate, making major
ity. ,-..-
me right OF two Of the inspectors
after wards to have their names strick-
en- from Mr.. Martins certificate Is
brought prominently out in the discus'
sion. 1t is alleged also that the oerLih-
cate to MI. Martin is illegal because
the Sheriff adjourned the Board upon
his own option. These are the fresh
points brought into the contest by the
counsel for Mr.. Lynch. On the other
hand MI Martins friends and his
counsel, Messrs. Higgins and Bradford
contend that the business of the Board
being done sheriff Clark had a right TO
adjourn it without motion and that
il Le had remained longer he would
have been presiding over a revolution
ary assembly engaged in illegal acts.
1t is also contended in behalf Of MI
Martin that when the Democratic In
spectors signed Mr.. Martins certificate
they had no right to have their names
ia ken from It again and their signing a
certificate for Mr.. Lynch afterwards
was of no account as they had already
signed one for Martin, AT least haIt
the Democrats are opposed to the revo
lutionary proceedings being put in op
Grafton 10 cheat Mr.. Martin out of hi
office and think that Governor Hal
should cut the dispute short by issuing
a commission to Mr.. Martin.

Another Danger Of Iron ships.

A rather singular occurrence mas
been discovered by the officers of the
steamship CarmoDa, now in port at
Montreal. Lately, while the vessel
was pitching in heavy sea, daylight
became visible in the iron rudder bt-
tween the screw and the outside rudder
frame. Closer inspection revealed the
fact that a very large hole had been
eaten into the rudde' nearly four feet
by three in dimensions. Notwith,
standing this, she steered fairly and
arrived without any drawback.
The only solution of the problem
what caused the hole in the rudder IS
that 1t is due to the galvanic action OF
a large brass nut at the end of the pro-
pellor shaft, and this having dlsinteg-
rated The iron.of the cudder, the action
of the water washed away the iron
piece until at length the large and dan
qerous hole was noticed. This is another
Of the difficulties iron ships have to
overcome.

ALNckY ER0ApO,

Last evening as Officer Vickers was
pas,irg along Front street, he heard q
disturbance in Dugan's saloon on Front
street near Market. Some one called
to the officer and he entered the place,
and found o number of men engaged in
q rough and tumble fight He endeay-
ored TO separate them when he was at
tackled by the whole party. In Q few
minutes Officer Cannon arrived, and
took two OF the party, and started with
them for the hall.
The other man then became very Vio-
lent and the officer had to throw him
and put the the nippers on. When he
regained his feet he struggled
again and broke the nippers, and
made a savage attack on the Officer,
who defended himself the best he could
with his club, until it was knocked out
of his hand. EIe had thrown the man
down the sixth time, ard succeeded in
getting another pair of nippers on him,
when Officers Blackburn and Peterson
arrived and with their assistance he
was taken TO the hall.
Officer Vickers is entitled to credit
for his perseverance,, and determination
in making the arrest. Upon searching
the men, one was found to have $50 in
his pocket, another had $4l and the
third a smaller amount. They belong
outside of the city, and the Mayor at
the solicitation of some of their friends
gave them a hearing last night, and
imposed a fine and cost on each.
1t is a fortunate thing that the officers
arrested them wheu they did, as there
are men " no frequent these Front street
dens, who would soon have found some
means to rob them Of everything they
possessed.
Dugan's rancho is next door to Rey'
nolds' place, where Mr.. Mcconnell was
q few minutes before robbed of $35.

Teacher Fined

On Friday last one of the teachers OF
Nc. 3 school becoming aggravated at a
l'ttle girl beat her over the hands very
severely with a rattan and gave her a
very severe shaking. The mother OF
the little girl, usually amiaole ana
even tempe red, lost her balance and If
she had known where the teacher lived
there would have been scene but she
did the next thing suggested which
was to 30 to Squire Vandegritt and sue
the teacher for assault and battery.
The trial which was intended to be
private came off last night and the
teacher was fined and made to pay the
costs. The strongest part of the affair
is that the principal of the school who
aloae had the right to correct scholars
knew nothing of what had happened
until this morning when the mother
took her little girl to the principal &c
get her entered in another division.

A Quotation and

A famous economic sta
tistician recently asked an
experienced clothier for his
estimate of the annual pro-
duct OF Mems and Boys
Clothing in the United
States. The clothie" an
swered $225, 5,OO0,O co.
The quick rejoinder was:
"You are far below the
mark"
This scrap of talk from
two experienced men is
enough to indicate the mag
nitude of the clothing inter-
est. The making of cloth
ing is a constant evolution;
the selling of it has in late
years undergone a thor
ough revolution.
The revolution began i'll
