Yielding the Largest Number.
For many years past we have made
statistics our especial study. We reveI
in statistics of such an entertaining
character as those relating to bank
ruptcy, criminals, rainfall, atmospheric
pressure, railway rates, thunder-storms,
duration of sunshine etc., but we have
never hitherto found anything so much
to our taste as the statistics ofinsanity
and occupation j Some one has gone
to the trouble of compiling a Gstof sta
tistics showing the particular occupa-
ton followed by the inmates of the diff
ferent public and private lunatic asy-
lums in England before their incarcera-
ton. From this it appears that the
professional and eommercial groups
yield by far the largest proportions,
varying from five per LOCO in soldiers
to 81 in civil engineers, and "a in
arsists to 10 in the teaching and Leo
turing class. In the commercial group,
travellers stand high, 1.3 per 1000. In
the agricultural, farriers and veterinary
surgeons head the list, 1.3; while shep-
herds and gamekeepers are the lowest,
O.5. Of manufacturers, paperLmaker
are lowest, O.8; while of handicrafts,
plumbers, painters, and GLACIERS are
highest, s1s9. The group of persons
employed in the heavier kinds of
manu- labor yields a lower proportion

In the Hands of the Grand Jury.

NEW I5IN, -NUNUIHUtT Q. :
Matters concerning the election have
been taken up for scruting by the
Grand Jury. 1t is understood that they
have already found indictments which
charge certain persons with fraud in the
canvass. Inspectors and poll clerks in
the various election districts are required
to furnish returns to the County Clerk,
the Police Election Bureau and the Mayor,
but returns from number of election
and assembly districts have not been re-
ceiyed, and some of those received are
incomplete. If it should appear that
any of them have improperly withheld
the returns, they will be prosecuted. The
Assistant-District Attorney assigned to
investigate the matter is disposed, how
ever, to attribute their delinquency to ig-
norance in the majority of cases.

An extra Of the HAIL and Express says:
sThe Associated Press has now the
official returns in from each district OF
avery county AS footed up they show
small Republican plurality. The totals
differ from those made by the Democratic
State Committee on the returns from the
County Clerks Of each county. But the
figures received by the Associated
Press. from each district are the same
as received by the County Clerks of
the respective counties of the State. The
result is now to be decided upon the ac-
curaey of the footing of the totals as be-
tween the Associated Press and the DEM
ocratic State and National Committees.
About midnight the Associated Press viii

time issue the totals as based on the. fig
ures of the County Clerks. The public
will then have to take its choice of the
figures. or wait until the official count set

point to plurality of 250 for Blaine.

NEW YORK, November 8.

NEW YORK, NovemberS.
The Republican Committee claim te
have evidence to prove that the returns
have been tempered with, particularly in
Kings, Queens, Ulster and St. Lawrence
counties, and that in one polling district
alone in Ulster County, Cleveland
had a majority of ninety-three over
the whole voting population.
There is also a net gain of 800 Demo-
cratic votes in ST. Lawrence County be-
yond the most liberal Republican esti-
mate of their opponents strength.
These and similar points, it. is. said, Mr..
Elkins intends to use through competent
counsel before the Board of Canvassers,
entering formal protest on the ground
of fraud, and then put the Presidential
fight, as a last resort, into the courts.

Democratic On Joint Ballot

Chairman Eddy of the Democratic State
Committee practically comedies tho
election of Alger for Governor. The Re-
publican figures place his plurality at
I, 900. The majority for Blaine electors
does not greatly differ from these
figures Later returns gives Democratic
majority of six on joint ballot in the
Michigan Legislature. Both sides now
claim the second Congressional District,
and both are honest in their claims I'M
doubtedly, as the district is very close
and there have been some errors.

Celebrating in Brooklyn.

BROOKLYE, N. Y, Noyem Der Z.
Anumber of the Cleveland organizations
met in their headquarters in the different
wards of the city yesterday, and made ar
rangements to parade with brooms and.
torches. Mayor Low, fearing trouble,
requested Acting Superintendent of Po-
lice Murphy to stop all parades on the
streets, whether the organizations had
permits or not. The Cleveland men, when
informed of the Mayors orders, were
much annoyed, and declared they could
not stop their cheering, and accordingly
made the streets ring during the evening
with their campaign songs and cheers for
their candidate. Ex-senator Daggett,
who has conducted the Republican cam
paign in Kings County, was at the head
quarters last night, and. said he still felt
confident, from all he could learn, that
Blaine was elected. The betting on the
election is even. "a @ IL Is - 70,
