THE ELECTION.
The Scenes and Talk in the City.
THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF PORT
LAND.

The interest in the election in the city yes
terdsy was intense. Many citizens remained
up all night Tuesday, SO anxious were they to
hear the returns. At 7. 80 a. M, when the PRESS
extra was issued, the street in front OF the
counting room, and the counting room itself,
was crowded with people anxious to get the
latest news. There was very large sale of
che extra. and there would have been another
extra furnished, but the employees had become
worn out with their steady labor.
All day long, and evening, too, the crowds
kept up their positions in front of the news
paper offices, at the Merchants Exchange, and
at various offices where bulletins were re-
ceived, anxiously scanning the returns and
cheering vigorously when good news was bull
letined. In fact, the figures for the Republi-
can candidates grew more favorable with the
passing hours, and by nightfall the Republi-
cans were quite happy, while the Democrats
appeared correspondingly depressed.
In the afternoon the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen met and counted the city vote off
cially. 1t differed bat few votes FROM the
vote printed in the PRESS yesterday morning.
The total vote was 6991. The Republican vote
was 1872, the Democratic 30S5, the St. John
100, and the Butler 50. Mr.. Blaine's plurality
was 5S7, ana his majority 343 Ali the Alder
men were present except Alderman Gallagher.

The following letter from the Rev. A. II.
WRIGHT, Pastor Of st. Lawrence Street
Church. speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, system OF physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it systematic
cally and perseveringly, / am prepared to add
my testimony to its great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means OF physical exercise,
fer either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simply add that if persons
of sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time TO take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use with perse-
veraDce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, 1 am satisfied they
will find the same cause l have, to prize and
praise its excellence

HORSE THIEVES.
Three Men Arrested for Stealing a Horse
and Later EdeAtifed by Richmond
Stable Keeper.


Yesterday noon three young men in top
buggy, to which was attached bag mare
drove into Wilson's stable on Federal street.
1t was evident from the appearance of the
carriage and the animal that they had ridden
quite distance through the muddy roads of
the country. In course of conversation with
Mr.. Fred Boucher, who happened TO be at the
stable, one of the men, Brown, expressed his
desire to sell the team, Offering it for the sum
of $25 and watch. Mr.. Boucher, astonished
at the remarkably low figures, at once began
to suspect that all was not right and demanded
references. Brown claimed that he could
easily furnish the desired credentials, and in
company with his fellow travellers, started
out, while Boucher proceeded to the police
station and reported the affair TO Deputy Mar
shal Crewell. Ofacer LaDgmaid was detailed
to investigate the matter, and in citizens
dress repaired to the stable. When Brown
returned, the officer arrested and locked him
up. The second party, e. H Wells, was cap
tured in a similar manner, and Charles Bolton
the younger OF the three, suspecting the fate
of Brown and Wells, and seeing Mr.. Lang
maid evidently awaiting his appearance, start
cd on the ran for Temple street. The officer
started In pursuit, and after an exciting chase
succeeded in securing his man.
While the matter was under discussion at
the station, William II. Small of Richmond
entered and made inquiries concerning stolen
horse. He stated that he was stable keeper
In Richmond, and that William Brown Of
that place hired team of him Tuesday noon
to attend neral at Bowdoinham. Shortly
after Brown started, word came to Mr.. Small
that the funeral story was FALSE and that the
man was trying to steal his horse. Small
reached Topsham that afternoon, and ascer-
tanned that the man had been seen driving
toward Brunswick He made no further effort
then to regain his property, but yesterday
morning proceeded to Brunswick, where he
found that his team containing three men had
left that place before daylight, they having
stabbed the horse for the night at Toothaker's.
Circumstances indicated that the thieves were
on the way to Portland, and Small took the train
for this city, arriving az Eoo1. He identified
the three men arrested by Officer Langmaid,
and they are now at the station.
Brown says that there is another party con-
csrned in the affair, and that there are TWO
more horses concealed in a vacant barn be-
ween Yarmouth and Freeport, bat the police
h ave obtained no further information to this
effect Another prisoner, Bolton, told the
cerned. He knew nothing about the other
two horses. The three thieves belong and have
been employed in Richmond and vicinity.
