RAwL1Ns COUNTY.
Friend Greason. of the Atwood Citizen,
seems almost too ickled to tell all he
knows of the result. We CLEAN, however,
that the Reps. are ahead by an average
of not far from 200 majority. We are
particularly glad to see that our old
friend, Cy. Anderson, beat his opponent
by 294 votes for county clerk; and we
delegate Greason so tell Cy. that we say
so. The others of the elect are:
Treasurer, Thomas J. Goodin; sheriff,

ONE FOR THE PURITAN.
She wins the First Race with tint
Genesta by Over sixteen Minutes.

She wins the First Race with the
Gencsta by Over sixteen Minutes.
The CRITICS report of the yacht race
yesterday described the great contest in
detail up to the time that the two yachts
rounded Sandy Hook Lightship and started
ON the return. The run back to port
again was as pretty as the outward sail
but was uneycntful. The Puritan and the
Gcncsta kept apart as evenly us If one We're
towing the other. Buoy was turned by
the Puritan at 3:2430 and by the Genesta
at 3;2735 Bouy 10 was passed few min
utcs later. In the race Of nineteen miles,
from buoy 10, in the lower bay, out TO the
lightship and back again to buoy 10, the
Puritan had only gained five minutes and
three seconds on the Englishman. 1t was
the only lively sailing there was and by
far the best test of the racing and scagong
qualities of the boat
In the bay the wind Stacked M again and
to such an extent that the most sanguine of
the yachtsmcn began to fear that the limit
Of seven hours would be oversteppcd. The
Genesta, which had been last to get the
ocean breeze going out, was now the last
to lose it, and SO was able to gain apprc
ciably on the Yankee boat Before the
lower bay was passed she took her spin
maker in and set her balloon fOrcsail. The
effect was instantly seen to be beneficial
Tho Puritan always does better in light
wind than the Englshman, and she gained
at least n mile between the Hook and the
stake boat At last, at 43S,05, out of the
tangle of vessels, came the proud
Puritan. She passed gracefully be-
tween the judges boat and the
stake-boat amid din of guns and whistles
that rivaled the combined noises heard
during the day. She had won by rs min.
AZ sec. Then ensucd long pause aud the
Gcnesta bore along at 4:j4.52. With her
came the same scenes and noises. She was
cheered just as much as She could have
been if she had won the race. The tug
boats all surrounded the Puritan and stroye
for the honor of towing her to her anchor
age for nothing, When the Genesta
reached her anchorage it was discovered
that she had split the yoke OF her topmast,
so the racing committee gave her to-day to
make repairs. Tomorrow another attempt
will be made to sail twenty miles to wind
ward and return.

FORTY-ONE SELECTED.


special Delivery Service.
Forty-onc boys, ranging In years from
fourteen to nineteen, have been selected rs
carriers in this city, under the Special De.
livery Service, which will be inauguratcd
on the first Of October next. They are Il
bright set of boys, some Of them leaving
grammar schools to take up this work. The
pcnmanship and composition of their APP
plications for appointment were both cX-
ccllent, in some cases almost uncNcclled
Tie fOity-Onc chosen were out Of about 1870
applicants. II it Is shown that more are
necessary after the service is iuaugurated
they will he appointed.
Postmaster Cougor is simply starting out
with an experiment, the result Of which
will determine his future course. The boys
will receive eight cents on each special lei
ter delivered, but their pay cannot exceed
$50 month. The following are the forty
one who have been selected and who Will
lie received next Thursday by Mr. Congcr
who will talk with them about their knowl-
edge Of streets and locations in the Dis
tiict:

II. G. Collins, John Cupnur, j. T.. Cassidy. W.

Il. Z, Dayton, NJ. X. Ephlcy, Il. T.. Hutchinson
W. 4. James, j. w. Parker and George Bowie.
In the manner in which these boys are
paid it will he seen that in the prompt de-
livery Of letters the Government will not
make much, If anything. The local postage
is two cents, the boy gets eight cents for
his work for delivering, and the special
stamp of ten cents is to be supplemented
by only the regular two cents It will be Il
cheaper way than paying District mes
senger company forty cents to promptly
deliver message. 1t Is expected that the
new system, when fully inaugurated, will
prove very popular.
Tie law in regard to the special delivery
term is pretty clear. Taken in connect ton
with tile Enthusiastically circulars to
postmasters on the subject, it is hard to see
how any intelligent man can fail to fully
understand 1t. When pOstmastcrs us has
been the case in number OF instances,
ask questions about the law, there is mailed
TO them n marked copy of the circular re-
foned to. There is hardly any possibility
of official legal opinion being called in to
settle points about the law and its admin
istratiOn.

Immediate Trial.
saysthe Washington correspondent OF the
New York Hcrdld! A letter has been re.
ceiyed from Captain Iipwgato by one of
his friends here, which will be presented
to the Attorney-Gcneral upon his return to
this city. In this letter It is said that Cap
tain liowgate offers TO return here and
stand trial for his alleged dcfalcations in
connection with the funds of the Signal
Corps, provided the authorities will guaran-
tee him an immediate trial. Captain How
gate In this letter states that he would not
have escaped from the jail guard when he
did in the spring of 1882 had there been
any immediate prospect that he would be
tried. He admits that he was unable to Sc
cure bail, which he says was made exorbi-
tant by the Court, but he says
he had been under arrest for over
six months. He says that his health
was constantly failing while he was in Jail,
and that he escaped SO as to save his life.
He says he will be ready to return at any
time ON four days notice after the Goth Of
October and is fully prepared to stand
trial. He defends himself for running
away when he did, and says it was by no
means a confession of his guilt. lie denies
a statement which was extensively pub
lished some time ago that he wrote por-
tion of Lieutenant Grcely's report on his
Arctic expedition, but says he took deep
interest in that report and sent Lieutenant
Greedy one or two suggestions In regard
to IL.
