SOME CURIOUS ELECTION RETURNS.
TIE rKEACHEEY OF BARNEY o'ROURKE IN THE
WITH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.


With ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.
The returns of certain election districts IN
the With Assembly District show what can
be done by unscrupulous worker and
inspectors Of election 1t was well known
two DAYS before the election that Barney"
GRourke keeper of a low GROCERY In Canal-st. who
has heretofore nominally worked for the Republican,
candidates had beea "induced TO work for Andrew
White and Patrick keenan,, the County Democracy can
didaes for Sheriff and County Cork II was asserted
that the machinery of the DisrictAttOrncys oce had
been used to bring about this result II now appears
that O'Rourke, and through him other Republican
workers" I'm the With District, not only supported
White and keenan,. but prevailed upon to support
Robert Il. Mooney, the Tammany and Irving Hall can
ddate President of tho Board OF Aldermen The fact

warm OF Moneys and that Okourke aud most Of
those under his control need "protecuOn" when vlO-
lattng the ExeIse law will account for Moneys large
vote. The ia and XXNIIth Election Dis
1ricts are entirely under OKOurke's control, and the
others to some extent.

ItStshy..a man representing himself as Gar
ret OnIerdoHk, of Rockland county n. Y.
lie sold each of the dealers a lot of (" fresh
country eggs" at Il remarkably low figure,
Inc eggs were delivered by another man, to
whom The dealers refused payment. Yester-
day Onderdonk called for his mOney. but was
arrested under an act of the new Jersey
Legislature, prohibiting the sale of adul-
terated food. He pleaded guilty, where
upon he was fined 500 aud costs. This he
paid promptly and left the city without
attempting to collect for the eggs deliver.
ed. He admitted to several dealers that
the eggs were artificial and were man.
utactured by a firm in Newark, whose
name he declined to disclose. He said
there was nothing deleteriOus in the com
position of the eggs, but refused further
information. The eggs nave all the ap-
pearance of a miscellaneous collection of
barnyard eggs being of various sizes and
differing shades of colour. The formation
Of the eggshells and the flament on the
inside does not differ from those of the
genuine article, but in the most Of them
the albumin0uS matter is very thin and the
yOlk thick, gunlike and heavy.
Cooks experienced trouble in preparing
the eggs for the table and this led to the
discovery. The eggs are to be analysed
by chemists and a number will this morn
ing be sent to the New York Butter,

A BRIG "ALL SPOILTo

The brig Charles a. Hoard. Captain
Proctor, from st. Croix, with sugar and
IuIn, winch went ashore on Romer shoal
shortly after dark on Wednesday night

Brooklyn. ''She is all spoilt," said one of
the crew, and really her appearance indica.
TED such a condition. Her s%ternpost and
rndder were gone, her counter was smash,
ed IN and She leaked like a sieve. The
night She struck was a weary one for
the crew. They took to the rigging, and wet
u the skin, remained there until morning
Inc captain did likewise, and to save his
papers, dashed his trunk to the f~orcriggine.
The brig was full of water for eighteen
hours, and, as She lay at the dock yester-
day, the Coast Wrecking C~ompauy's big
pump was in operation most Of the time,
lit WAS very tough" said the captain.
''but under the circumstances it was a GOOD
JOB TO save her as She is. She must have
been a strong vessel to stand the thump
ing she received, and | wonder the masts
were not jumped out of her. When dis.
charged the brig will be surveyed, but
there IS an impression among those ON

A Terrible Case.
HopkInsville New Era Sept. 4


Wednesday Dr. Jas. A. Young was
called in as consulting physician to
visit Mr.. Bailey, who lives near Elk
ton, who is suffering from an attack
of hydrophopia. Drs. McReynolds
and Mckinney, of ElktOn, have charge
of the case and pronounce it one OF
the most terrible they have ever wit
messed. DIR. Young informs us that
Bailey was bitten on the right thumb
by dog last April. The wound WAS
then cauterized by the Elktnn physi-
clans, and few days later BaiIey came
to this city and applied to the wound
the mad stone possessed by Mr.. John
Twyman, of this city. The wounded
man suffered no inconvenience till
last Sunday, when he began to feel
slight pain in the place where he was
bitten. There was no swelling, but
the pain grew worse until Tuesday
night, when the lungs became involved.
That night Drs. Reynolds and McKin-
ney were called in and pronounced it
case OF hydrophobia. The patient
grew constantly worse, and Wednes-
day DIR. Young was sent for. When
he arrived he found Bailey suffering
with spasmodic breathing and terrible
restlessness. His eyes were wild and
glaring, and it was impossible for him
TO even swallow a liquid. When any
one passed in front of the sick man it
seemed to produce in him the most
violent convulsIons. At three o'clock
Thursday morning he was sliced with
hydrOphobic commissions. 1t took six
men to secure and tie him to his bed.
He foamed at the mouth and made
wild clutches at everybody and every
thing in reach. His calls for water
were furious and pitmble and when
it was brought the sight of it was the
occasion OF the most terrible spasms,
even the trickling sound when being
poured from the pitcher to glass in
the next room, seemed to torture his
nervous system into horrible contor-
tons. He was as furious as Il wild
animal and his attempts to bite those
whom he saw were maddening Il
never" says DIR. Young spent so terri
BILE night in my life" Every remedy
was used to relieved the suffering man
but without effect, and his death is
only a question OF time. The case has
excited "A great deal of interest and
large crowds have gathered on the
premises to see the suffering man in
his death agonies.

More Race Troubles.

On last Thursday a Nashville lady
who was in Huntsville engaged seat
in the stage for Gallatin. The driver
suggested that she would find the rear
seat the most comfortable, and she
took it. There was no other occupant
till the stage was about to start, when
tail cOiored man, who had evidently
read of his "rights" in the American,
entered with his wife and child. No
sooner did he get in than he said to
the lady, Get upl want my wife to
sit there" The lady could hardly be-
lieve he meant it, and said to him,
what do you mean p He replied
"Mywife is sick, and want you to get
up and give her that seat" The stage
driver was called, who told the negro
he could not have the seat. No sooner
had the driver stepped away than the
fellow again demanded the lady's seat
for his wife, and prominent citizen
OF Carthage was called to the stage by
the lady. Upon the matter being ex-
planned to him he told the man he
was presumptuous in asking the seat,
and he must not repeat his request.
As the negro subsidized this gentleman
moved OIL. Barely had he stepped
away, however, before the negro said
that he was going to have the seat, and
the stage could not move off till he
got it. The lady was somewhat
frightened, and to avoid further trou-
BILE got out and procured a private
conveyance to Gallatln.

THE following remarks about to-
bacco are taken from the circular of
Sawyer Wallace & Co, of New York
of Sept 1.
The European markets continue
dull, and the Western active, at prac-
tically unchanged prices With partial
rains and partial drouth it is difficult
to report the promise of the growing
crop accurately. Our Louisville house
estimates it at one-third good, fair and
poor, and likely to produce as much
dark tobacco as the last, but this is
more than our correspondents gen.
orally appear to believe. The Buriey
crop seems not to have suffered so
much from the weather, but is
thought to promise one-fourth less
than its predecessor. The early plant
ings are being cut permaturely to save
from field fire, and will weigh very
light, and the greater part will have to
take the chances of frost A fall
like 1881 is needed to bring the bulk
to maturity.

The Boy who Tried.
ro~vo~<s


Many years ago boy lived in the
West Of England. He was poor. One
day, during the play hour, he did not
go forth with the other Lads to sport,
but sat down under a tree by little
brook. He put his head upon his
hands and began thinking. What
about? He said to himself, "How
strange it is All this land used to
belong TO our family. Yonder fields
and that house and all the houses round
we're once ours. Now we don't own
any of this land, and the houses are
not ours any longer. Oh, if could
but get all this property backl" He
then whispered two words, "I'll try"
He went back TO school that afternoon
to begin to try. He was soon removed
to a superior school, where he did the
same. BY and by he entered the army,
eventually went to India as an officer.
His abilities, but still more his energy
and determination, secured promotion.
He became man OF mark. At length
he rose to the highest post which. u
person could occupy in that land-he
was made Governor General. In TWEEN
ty years he came back to England and
