A type-setting' contest between Joseph
McCann, ofthe New York Herald, and w.
B. Barnes, of the New York World, for the
championship of the city and state, took
place a few days ago in the presence
of large number of printers. The
purse contended for was $1,000. The
trial lasted four hours, beginning
at II O'Clock. The type used was
minion, set without paragraphs. Barnes
finished his first thousand ems in 20 min
utes and so seconds and McCann completed
his first thousand two minutes later. At
3 O'Clock time wascalled. McCann had set
S.o62h ems, and Barnes 1851. Then each
man was obliged to correct his own proofs.
When the corrections had been made and
the number of lines deducted which
each had lost through mistakes, it was
found that McCann had 7,662k ems to his
credit and Barnes 6,376. McCann was de-
clared the winner. McCann has figured in
several similar matches during the past
few years. His best work was done in June
last, when he defeated Ira Somers, OF the
World, in three hour contest, and lowered
the great record of Arensburg The latter
was 5, ,555 ems, and had been the high
water mark for the preceding five years.

DROWNED In THE DEEP.
George L. Klein, a Brakeman on the
c., b. & O., Meets Sad Fate.--
The Particulars.

Yesterday morning gang of men, all
employees on the c., B. & O., boarded a
hand car, and went down to the lower
saw mill to battle in the river. The party
consisted of Mike Murphy, freight cons
ductor; J. Coons, F. W. Nau. brakemen !;
Fred Dempsey and George Williams,
firemen; James Murrin, switchman;
and E. Swain, flagman, and George l..
Klein, brakeman. 1t was II o'clock when
the bathing place was reached, which ls
just south of Weyerhauser & Denkman's
mill. A spring board projecting out from
raft was used as jumping of place,
this being about 200 feet from the shore.
The man had been in the water about fiji.
teen minutes when Klein was heard to
scream for help, and Immediately disap-
pear beneath the water. He was quite
distance from the rest. but his
companions swan to his rescue, and
men secured long pike pole and when
Klein rose to the surface again stretc he'd
it towards him, but it was not long
enough and he sank and did not rise
again. The others commenced diving fol
the unfortunate man, but as the water il
very deep at this point they did not sue
coed in getting HIM. The Meyers boys
employees at the glass works, also assisted
in the endeavors to recover the body, bul
without avail.
Marshal Eckhart was notified as soor
as possible, and he hurried to the scene
where he set men at work dragging the
river Late in the afternoon the body
was caught, but 1t got away before il
was fully recovered.
The young man who has met such /
sad fate was about 90 years of age, and il

Remember the Election.

The school election which occurs to-
morrow, will be one of more than usual
interest. 1t was first deemed expedient
to renominate Mr.. Donaldson, but he res
refusing to serve longer. the name of Mr..
John W. WEIGH was selected and was re-
ceived favorably. 1t was thought that
Mr.. WEIGH would have an opposition, as
no objection could be found to his candi-
dacy. The Union, however, in a spirit
of meanness brought forth the
name of MIR. Chas. Hansgen, OPP
posing MIR. WEIGH principally for being a
d emocrat To the credit of the best class
of republicans in the city, however, be it
said that they refuse to stoop to part
tactics and propose to stand by Mr..
WEIGH. 1t is very evident that Mr.. Hans
gen viii lose votes by reason of the man>
ner in which the Union advocated his
candidacy, which he otherwise would
have received. But more Objectionable
feature to Mr.. Hansgens candidacy is his
connection with the Lutheran school
While the ARGUS looks upon it as a COM
mendable institution, its interests do
not lie in the same direction as the
public schools, and under these circum-
stances we do not think Mr.. Hansgen's
election would be desirable, as his sympa>
thy would be with the parochial school.
Besides, we are informed, that Mr.. Hans,
gen does not even send his children to the
public schools, which fact shows that be
does not take particularly lively inter
est in the city's educational development.

Foreign Inuuiries.

Health Commissioner Craig has re-
ceived communication from A. J.Meier,
vice consul from Germany. at the port of
Chicago, who desires all information pos
sible concerning the infected beef recent
ly sold in this city. The correspondent
says he is requested by the National board
of health of Germany. to pay strict atten-
ton to American meats, and especially to
prepared meats. The commissioner thinks
that owing to the vast amount of
meat shipped from this country
to Germany, Keiser Wilhelm is DESTROYS
of criticising this article of American
exports as far as possible. Commissioner
Craig, while looking upon all manner of
canned meat with suspicion, will reply
that the preparation sold in Rock Island
was not the ordinary canned beef, but
simply an article pressed and intended
for immediate use.
