IT Is high time that the number Of

nine wards, there : twenty.six pre-.

10 every ward. In Omaha We have
only six voting places TO 5000 voters.
The result Il that instead Of having
the vote counted within three hours
after the close Of the polls II II often
three days before the names Of the
successful candidates are known. In
addition the count Il always bungling
and often inaccurate. II . thorough
and final recount Of the ballots cast at

safe TO say that . good many errors
would be found.
Besides the difficulty Of counting
the vote where so many ballots are de.
posted In q single box, the small
number of polling places makes q full

lions 1t 10 practically impossible to
poll all the votes offered. A year ago
there were fully two hundred voters

failed to deposit their ballots through

months ago, or about the time when
England made her onslaught on Egypt,
1t was reported that 10000 Russian
troops had been concentrated in the
Caucasus. The number was exagger.
ated, but the army sent there must
have been large, and 1t was undoubt-
eddy intended to take advantage of
any mistakes made by England and
push Russian interests In that direc-
tim. Her motives are various. Eng.

all along the line from the Caucasus to

the Caucasus, General Gordon, who

B,rlin correspondence gives some

The latter Is now greatly embarrassed
and some time will probably elapse be.
fore the reply to the note Is sent TO
Rome. The government Ia expected
to publish soon the second letter of
the emperor to the pope, which was
forwarded to his holiness some DAYS
ago As to what will be done In
Prussia much depends upon the
attitude of the national liberals, the

Prince Bsmarck. Many of that
party are convinced OF the futilitv of
some of the May laws, aud the re-.
vision may be undertaken without
waiting for the assent Of Rome. In
that case, the present ministers for
home affairs and public worship would
have to be removed, rs they do not
enjoy the confidence Of the liberals.

The Rev. Mr.. Redman, pastor In charge
OF the NJ. 4. Church Of this place, some days
ago, called at house In town and offered 10
pray with the family. Through 4 door in
an adjoining room the preacher observed
stout boy, belonging TO tho family, with
an old chicken hen under his arm. On
being urged by the head of the family to
release the hen and join in the devotions
the undevout lad showed no signs of obe-
dience, but stood stock still with the old
hen under his youthful arm, while the fam
lily, led by the pastor, knelt in prayer.
When the devout members of the family
responded hearty amen the attentive boy
would pinch the old hen, whereupon the
tortured fowl would utter a mournful cry,
to the great amusement of the boy. 1t is
hardly necessary 10 say that the prayer was
a short one and unmixed with the faith that
removes mountains. That boy no doubt had
read that Rome was once saved by cackling
geese, and he was determined to see what a
csckling hon could do.

Scenes at the Death h-bed of Alexander
Stephens--His successor.


ATLANTA, March AT about 9 O'Clock
this morning II was evident that Mr.
Stephens was much weaker, aud that the
crisis was approaching. The doctors had
prepared strong mustard plaster and put
1t on his wrist. They let 1t remain there for
perhaps 20 minutes. When they removed
1t there was not the slightest sign of infam-
nation, showing that there was very little
Vitality left. At about $50 O'Clock bis ex
tremities became cold. DR.. Miller said;
"The end is not far or"
As the end drew near, Mr.. Stephens was
lying on his back with his head turned
slightly to the right. The husky rattle In
his throat, that had been plainly perceptible
earlier In the night, had ceased entirely.
There was no more heavy breathing and not
the slightest gasping. He was perfectly
quiet. DR.. Miller held his elender wrist
auxiously. The pulse had almost cease to
beat. At o'clock. DIR. Steiner and Dr..
Raines, who had gone to sleep, were
awakened When pr. Steiner reached
his bedside Mr.. Stephens was very
much weaker. Two ladies, Mrs.
Stephens and Mrs. Grier, who had re-
tired for a little sleep, entered the room and
took their places by the bed. There were
then present besides these .and the physi-
clans the Hon. j. T. Henderson, Judge
Hall, Colonel John Stephens, A. L. K0ntz,
Mr. I. B. Brady, G. w, Seidell, II. X. Paul,
and the two eolored servants. The breath
ing grew fainter.
At length DR.. Steiner lifted Mr.. Steph-
ens's wrist and bent over the bed. He then
drew back, and putting on his glasses,
looked into his face and said:
Pm afraid he is gone"
This was precisely at 1924. After another
oct l..,lr Il. a.t1 IL. L
Mr.. Stephens made his will some time
children OF his late brother, Judge Stephens,
and the rest OF his estate, barring few
minor bequests, to his nephew, Col John
A. Stephens. What his estate will foot up
depends largely on the sale Of his. new
"History OF the United States" He made
about $4,000 on "The War Between the
States" and his new book is selling we'll
Above his beguests his estate win probably
pay $4,000.
DIR. RRines says that as he was attending
to some of his wants and moving him in
his bed the dying mau said, doctor, you
hurt me-" DIR. Raines says those were the
last words he ever uttered.
The remains lay all day to-day In state In
the Executive Mansion. On Monday at 10
O'Clock they will be placed in the Capitol,
where they will lie in state until Thursday,
when they will be temporarily inferred in
Oakland Cemetery. The final interment
will probably be In the same cemetery.

The IaschaIl wharf Case.

Argument in tho PaschaIl wharf
case, which was in progress before
the Chancellor last week in Dover, was
concluded by Geo. Fl. Bates, Esq, Saturday
afternoon, but the Chancellor reserved his
decision until this week. The action is an
application for an injunction by the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Company Of Wilmington,
to restrain 8. d. Paschall from building a
wharf on the Christlana, the claim being
that It ia not In accord with the present
wharf lines, that 1t will interfere with the
navigation of the stream and with their
business of building and launching ships.
The case has been argued now In order
that 1t could be at once settled and gotten
out of the way before the Board of Trades
bill to amend the law governing port
wardens' is introduced. Benjamin Nields,
Esq, appeared for Mr.. Paschall and Messrs,
Bates and Harrington for the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company.
