As there are only l9l votes, it will be seen
that some of the candidates are misled, as
they all claim large strength in New York

their individual strength Randall is now

Accidents.

How many accidents happen daily in
a city of Il million inhabitants like New
York? The question, often put, is
practically unanswerable. Allowing
an average of only one day to the
ordinary experience OF each of the
5000 and odd PHYSICIANS in the city,
the record would fill, with the briefest
mention, many columns of the World,
without containing the numberless lit
tie mishaps of which only the druggist
has cognizance There are no means
of ascertaining how much too high that
estimate would be. The police report
only cases in which their services are
demanded and the accident book" at
headquarters, as an auxiliary in the
search for missing persons, contains
mention only of victims OF accident
whom it has been found necessary to
send to hospital. The hospitals,
especially the emergency hospital in
Chambers street, have their own ex-
tensive lists of casualties that seldom
obtain publicity. The daily reports at
Police Headquarters average from
twenty to forty accidents with injury to
human beings. Public festivities,
great disasters, or anything that brings
crowds together, greatly increase the
number. The Fourth of July has it's
special roll, which, however of late
years, has suffered a gratifying de-
crease. Saturday afternoon and night
turn out moro turnover accidents and
street collisions than nearly all the rest
of the week together especially in the
weeks preceding the Christmas holt
days, when the streets are unusually
crowded with shoppers. For Sunday
the distinction of furnishing the most
fights is reserved, but Saturday night
bears the responsibility for a goodly
number of them. Bridge Day. was an
exception to the general rule that lays
the responsibility for street accidents
to big crowds, but within q week the
gigantic structure made up for its APP
parent remissness by the frightful
slaughter of Decoration Day.-Ne,o

"Then why don't you make him move

move on, Lieutenant, if you were,

The Rev Howell +. Gardner, who
was killed by the recent explosion on
the steamer Riverdale, near New York,
was at one tim notorious as pugilist
and sporting chara ter in New York.
The Herald says: He and his brother
Orville were equally distinguished in
this way, though Orville was perhaps
the worst of the two. Howell was made
like gentlemanly athlete, and less of
prize-fghter, while Orville belonged
distinctly to the terror variety. Both
of them were distinguished as bruisers
and professional trainers. Howell was
the younger of the two. He ought to
be 80 or 50 years to-day. Orville was
ten years his senior. 1t was about 1857
that the great Methodist revival took
place up in Port Chester. There was
much political excitement that year,
and political meetings were going on in
Port Chester, in which Howell figured
prominently. He went into female
prayer-meeting one day out of curiosity,
and became awakened" His CONVEX
sion was so su lden and thorough that
he began to shout aloud, and is actually
said to have leaped over the heads of
the ladies present. In his religious en-
thusiasm he ran out INTO the street and
interrupted political meeting. Every
one thought he was insane. Up to that
time he had been known as Horrible"

artment were appointed:

There is not very serious disproportion
in the distribution of clerkships and other
places among the States where the Repub-
ican party is strong New York and Ohio
seem to have a little in excess OF their
quotas but the excess Is not great Illinois
does not get quite its share. Colorado and
Indiana have little more than belongs TO
them, but the personal equation must be
expected, and the head of the department
is from one of these States, while the
head of the largest bureau in the depart
ment is from the other. What will at once
strike the reader as surprising is the num-
Der of appointments from Maryland, Viz
giuia and the District of Columbia, espec-
ially the latter There is q natural explana-
ton for this In the first place, a
large number of the employees are

is, to residents OF the District and the adj
Joining part of Maryland and Virginia. Peo-
pie do not come to Washington from remote

solidlv Democratic Southern States do not
get their quotas. and the shares that would

10 the neighborhood of the capital; as the
South has no political reasons to urge for
office, the places are disposed OF for per-
sonal reasons TO people wnom congressman

there is of course, an advantage in being
on or near the ground when vacancies oc-
cur 1t might be said still further, that
nearly everybody in the District came here
from some one of the States, so that ap-
pointments from the District are scarcely
more than appointments at large.

A DETROIT convict showed rare in
genuity in planning an escape from
prison. He collected the tin foil in
which tobacco was wrapped, and with
this made an impression of the key
that locked the door of the corridor
leading to the cells. He then waited
until workmen were summoned to re-
pair the closet in the ward. and con-
trived to secrete piece of the lead
pipe used by them. This he melted in
an old tin can over a gas burner at
which the prisoners lighted their pipes
during the hours when smoking is al
lowed. He had previously secreted
the handle of an old knife, in which a
fragment of blade remained, and
with this he fashioned mold out of a
piece OF wood, poured in the molten
lead, and turned out key that with a
little whiting fitted the corridor door
perfectly. A leg was then wrenched
from an iron bedstead for use as a club,
the other prisoners were taken into the
plot, and general Jail delivery was
agreed upon. The keeper was to be
called upon some pretext to the door
of the corridor, which was to be un-
locked previously, and at signal q
rush was to be made for him by the
conv.cts. The plot was discovered in
the nick of time by mere accident.

THE English newspapers give inter-

ments conducted by the Belgian Gov
eminent in q new method of rendering
soldiers uniforms waterproof by means
of liquid alumina. AS it is applicable
to any kind of clothing it is of general
interest. The medical authorities have
satisfied themselves that the process
does not prevent the perspiration from
passing off freely, and chemical analysis
shows that the preparat on used in no
way Injuries the materials or destroys
their colors. Clothing which was sub
jected to the process and then worn, al
though rinsed and washed, remained
perfectly waterproof. The only draw
back to the process is that it is rather
expensive, and to insure the desired
result it must be conducted on large
scale.

JUST above the plain in the suburbs
of Fredericksburg. Va, is the grave of
Mary Washington, marked now by an
unfinished marble monument. 1t has
been shamefully defaced by the hands
of the vandal. It's sides have been
married by bullets, and the pretty,
smooth face of the monument peppered
by the shot of thouglrtless sporting
men. No railing or inclosure of any
sort protect the last resting-place of
this great and good woman, and the
unthinking excursionist hides himself
under the shadow of the monument,
eats his snack and desecrates the sacred
place by leaving the rinds of water
melons and the refuse of the repast
lying loosely arodnd the tomb.
