Republicans Elect Ono Alderman,
One Supervisor. One Member OF
Board of Education and Two
Constables.

Election day proved the finest and
most agreeable one of the present
year, as regards weather. The streets
in tho vicinity of the polls were alive
with men, most of whom were election
ecring. There was not much political
excitement, but a quiet and deter
mined struggle was maintained during
the time the ballot boxes were open.
In the afternoon various rumors float
ed about and were eagerly discussed.
One rumor said the Polacks were cut
ting into the Fusion Second ward
ticket. No person could give an in
telligent view rs to how matters were
progressing in the Third ward. The
situation there was badly mixed.
One report said the Pioneer man had
forgot to register, and was very in
dignant because he could not throw
a ballot against the Fusion candidate
for Comptroller. He had probably
been too busy writing abuse against
j. d. Turnbull, and thus lost his
chance to injure him. Near the close
of the polls, the various ward workers
were busily engaged in hunting up
delinquent voters. The First ward
was the first to report. The Second
soon followed, and, as usual, it re-
ouired the Third ward ballots to de-
eide who had been elected to some OF
the offices. All the Fusionists on the
city ticket got a majority on the south
side of the river, except A. Harshaw,
who was so behind. 1t was soon de.
cided that the Fusion city ticket had
won, except for the Office of Mayor
and deep interest was centered in that
The vote was so close that nearly
every ticket had to be counted before
it was known who was elected Mayor
Then the totals showed four majority
for Mr.. Harshaw. The ward coun
was not completed until about clever
o'clock at night.
The result by wards was as follows

part in order to protect American

Two hundred marines and few OF

What Cleveland was Doing Down a
Sewer

EDITOR n. Y. SUN: Inever heard
Of Grover Cleveland till he was men,
toned for the nomination for Cover
nor in the Democratic State Conven-
ton of 1882. There was nothing
singular in this, for though he was
then Mayor of Buffalo, what lawyer
in New York City pretends to keep
the run Of the Mayors of Buffalo7
Ssom after he became the nominee
for Governor l learned something
about him that arrested my attention.
A strong Republican from Buffalo
visited my Office on business. He
was conducting large operations,
which made it necessary for him to
frequently visit the Buffalo docks
very early in the morning. A big
sewer job was being carried on by
the Aldermen, which was involving
the expenditure of a good deal Of
money, and just then another appro'
priatien was to be called for. 1t wa.
beginning to make noise in the city
Ny Republican friend knew Cleve
land personally. He drove one
morning about daylight down towart
the dock, when he caught sight of thu
Mayor near this unfinished sewer. III,
refined up his horses and asked tn
Mayor what he was doing there. Mr.
Cleveland was pretty we'll besmsare,
with mortar and mud, especially OIL
his boots. He told Mr.. - that h
had been looking thoroughly for him
self into this job, and that he regard
ed it as swindle, and it should hav
no more money from the city treasur
IL he could prevent it. "And now,
said the Buffalo Republican, II al
going home to vote for him for Go,
ernor."
Grover Cleveland is now Presiden

everything. But if he will to ii

Telegraphing from a Moving Train.

Lucius S. Phelps, electrician, has
been engaged during the past sixty
DAYS in constructing section of the So
eophone or railway-telegraph system, of
which he is the inventor, along one
track of the Harlem River branch OF
the New York and New Haven Rail-
road, from the Harlem River station
TO the junction with the main line at
New Rochelle. 1t is designed to es-
tablish communication between trains
in motion and any fixed station,
way" or terminal" so that the exact
situation of any train on road can
be ascertained at any moment, and,
if desired, a passenger while travelling
at the rate of forty miles an hour
can send message to the station
which he has left behind, or announce
his approach to the point of his des-
tination. Mr.. Phelps recently prom
ised the directors of the company in
terested to demonstrate yesterday the
practical value of his invention. To
test his instruments he had the oper-
ator at the Harlem river station make
a trip over the line on Tuesday after
noon. Shortly after starting, Mr.
Conley, conductor of train No. 10
including baggage car No. 116 con
tanning the train apparatus, sent the
following message to Mr.. Phelps:
OK THE ROAD, Jan. 27.-To Lucius J
Phelps, ESQ.,: Accept congratu lntions from
the employees Of the New York, New Ha
ven and Hudson River Railroad for you
success in your great undertaking.

of water works. He proceeded TO
ventilate himself at me in this man
ner: "If the people of Morgantown

they act very unwise, and in fact
foolish. The water of the town
every summer almost reaches the
point of making us sick. The town
is old, and the ground has become
completely saturated with the filth
of our privies. Indeed, four or five
years ago, some of the students of
the University analysed specimens of
water coming from various wells in
town, and they in every single case
found small per cent. of urine. OF
course there is more in our wells now
than then. and it will continue to
increase until sickness will inevita-

lose their lives which would be just
repetition of what has again and
again happened within the knowl-
edge of any reading man. Had Nor
gantown better learn from the mis-
fortune of others and Immediately
put up water works, or had we bet
ter suffer the misfortune, and then,
when we are compelled to, put up
water works. The thinking man of
course will say, let us have water
works now; while on the contrary
the man who never has seen beyond
the end of his nose will still favor
drawing the polluted water from his
