CINCINNATI, October 21.-- Iithere is no de-
lay on account OF the controversy over the
imperfect returns, it is probable that the
official canvass OF the Hamilton county
vote will be completed to-day So far,
both sides claim the election of the Legisla-
tive candidates.
PROGRESS OF THE COUNT.
The total vote in the first twenty wards
oi Cincinnati, omitting two precincts whose
returns are irregular, and which are both
Democratic, gives Hoadley 22,556. Fora
ker, 21 ,S5S, and Leonard, $500. The
vote on Senators, Democratic, ranges from
22, lat to %, 1O7 Republican, from 81 ,42l
to $40. After the city vote is counted
the county precincts remain to be counted,
which will prolong the work until late to
night.
PROTESTS HINDER THE WORK.
The official count has occupied the atten-
tion OF candidates and their friends all day.
1t has been closely watched by both par
ties. During the day the judges of precinct
F, Ninth ward, came in to complete their
returns. The return which the clerk found
when he came to canvass that vote con-
sisted OF a blank tally sheet and Il Duck
worth Club election return blank with the
vote filled in. Ex-Governor Noyes, acting
for the Republican candidates, protested
against permitting an amended return be-
ing received. The clerk, however, read the
return, and Noyes said the matter would
be brought before the court. When pre-
cinct D, Nineteenth ward, was reached, ex-
Governor Noyes protested against it's being
received because the count OF votes did not
begin until Wednesday night, twenty
hours after the polls closed The protest
was. noted and the precinct canvassed.
Protest was also made by Ncyes against
precinct +, Nineteenth ward, because one
judge and one clerk refused to sign the re-
turns, on the ground that the box had
been removed to station house and the
ballots tampered with. A protest was
noted and the count proceeded with.
REPUBLICAN INJUNCTION.
Late in the afternoon Drausen Wulzin,
attorney for the Republicans, gave notice
to the canvassers that he would apply for
a restraining order forbidding the counting
OF precincts in cases where protests had
been made and also iorbidding the issuing
OF certificates of election to the Democratic
candidate for Senator. The clerk requested
his attorneys, Messrs. Toilet 4 Jordan, to
represent him. The application was made
before Judge Ashwalter, and the temporary
injunction granted as asked. A motion to
make it permanent will be argued to-
morrow. This. OF course. will prevent any
official announcement tonight, but the
board will continue in session until the
work is completed.

ID Description OF n New Kiud Of Piracy
I'm which They are Engaged.
From the Chicago News.
A red-faced, blue-coated cabman
sat perched on his hanson In front of
downtown hotel yesterday. With
an eye like q hawk he scanned the
stream Of pedestrians passing in and
out of the hosiery, anxiously wait
| ing for q fare. Presently another
hanson was driven up to the door
and q gentleman and lady got out OF
| IL aud went into the hotel.
"Wait until return said the gen.
tleman. The driver nodded his head,
and turned TO stare at couple OF
pretty girls who ehanced TO be pass
ing at the time. H
While his attention was thus en-
gagged the driver of the first cab dis
mounted from his seat and posted
himself at the hotel door. A few
minutes later the gentleman and lady
re-appeared. They we're returning
TO the cab they had just left. Instant
ly the driver Ia waiting seized the
gentleman by the arm. "rhis way
sir,D said he, directing the couple "a
his own cab. tf7+p
The second cabman was still staring
at the girls aud failed to notice the
trick played ON him. Meanwhile the
first cabman clambered Into his box
while the unsuspecting couple seated
themselves In the cab. A jeering
laugh from the first driver a. he
urged his horse into gallop notified
the second one that his fares were
stolen. The duped driver whipped
up his horse In rage, but another
vehicle stopped In his way, and, af-
ter delivering himself of mouthful
of oaths, he gave up the pursuit
"Hifs one of them 'ere pirates
what done that trick" exclaimed the
irate 'cabby. "A legitimate driver
like me is allus At their mercy, an
the wust of Il 10 they are getting
thiclsr an thicker every day" 9e
"Why do you cali that driver a pi
rate" he was asked.
"Because," was the reply, "ihat's
wat o Is; 'e's cab pirate because %
steals fares. A driver can't trust his
fare out of sight five minutes with
them pirates. They hang around
the hotels all day, an II a teller isn't
ON the lookout all the time they rush
his fare into their old traps and then
charge double rates.
"Yes," said the policemen on the
crossing, "that's new trick among
the cab-drivers. They steal fares
from each other, and ips very easy TO
do IL, especially when the fare hap
pens to be stranger. l don't know
why they are called pirates but they
are out In force In the evening, and
