THE RETURNS.

The election is over. The returns
are coming in unusually slow and in.
dictate mixed result. At the present
unsettled condition of things it is i'm
possible to give any definite informa-
ton, beyond the bounds of our own
county.
HEw1rr's election as Mayor of New
York over HENRY GEORGE, and The
oDoRE RoosFELr is pretty well as
sured. The Democrats have made
good fight in Massachusetts, land later
returns may insure the election of that
ticket.
In the Richmond Congressional Dis
trict. VIM. H. MULLEN, the Knights
of Labor candidate withdrew at the
last moment, narrowing the contest
down to Hon. GEO. d. WISE the pres
ent incumbent and ex-Judge EDWARD
WADDELL, Republican, with chances
favorable to the election of WISE.
SUNSET Cox was, of course, re-elect-
ed to Congress from his old District in
New York.
In Ohio the new law prohibiting
crowds gathering around the ballot
boxes, was enforced and no arrests &C.
Cured during the day.
In the State election the returns IN
dictate the election of Col. ROWLAND
to Congress in the Sixth District.
O'HARA and ABBOTT, colored candi-
dates ran along together in the Second
District, polling about the same
strength, but the election of SIMMo Ms,
seems probable.
In Rockingham county the indica-
tions lead to the superstition that SET
TIE has carried the county. j. r.
WEBSTER is elected to the Legislature
by 400 majority. The returns from
four townships show changes of about
one thousand or more against Con-
gresham REID from two years ago.
The returns from the various coun-
ties Of the District, are unfavorable to
the election of Congressman REID, ev-
cry one yet heard from having given
brewer majority. The election OF
SETTLE over GLENN for Solicitor
seems to be probable, yet the full re-
turns may alter this result.
1t is thought that JOHN NICHOLS
is elected to Congress in the Raleigh
District over JOHN W. GRAHAM.

An Unprecedented Accident.

One would have thought it impossible that
there should be an unprecedented accident;
but it is said that the catastrophe on Loeb
Fyne, by which persons lost their lives
recently, had never occurred before. It has
been the custom Of the babies of Glasgow to
attend the annual monster blasts" in the
great Crarae quarries on that loch, and this
year the custom was observed. Seven tons
of powder were fired at once, dislodging, it
IS believed, some $4,000 tons of granite, and
after the stone had fallen the visitors strolled
into the quarries to see the result.
Some 800 ladies and gentlemen were stand
ing about talking, when one after another
was observed to fall apparently dead, till
nearly hundred bodies were stretched on the
stone. They were at once carried out by the
quarrymen; but it was found that z were
dead, and that 80 more We're more or less in
jured, few severely. The visitors had been
asphy xiated by the sulphUrous vapor caused
by the blast, the shortest among them feeling
it first and most severely. One witness, who
tainted but recovered, testified that the SEN
sation was "rather pleasant than painful ="
No blame attaches to any one, the vapor
having been retained longer than usual by
the horseshoe shape Of the quarry, which
stops the breeze ON three sides-LondonS Spec

Splitting Ten Dollar Bills.

A new departure In the matter of counter
feiting money was brought to light at tho
United States sub treasury in Baltimore a few
days ago. A somewhat worn $40 government
bill was presented at the cashiers window with
q request for change, which was given. The
note was sent to Washington as mutilated
currency, and was returned with the informa-
ton that one side of the note was good, but
the other well executed counterfeit of the
original 1t was found that genuine $40 bill
had been split, the face being separated from
the back, seemingly impossible undertaking.
The original face, with counterfeit back,
had been used, and it is quite likely that the
genuine back with well executed counterfeit
face had been passed in some other quarter.
The portion of the note was worth exactly its
proportion of the whole, or in other words, IS.
More recently another $40 front" was pre-
sented at the cashiers window, with a similar
request for change. The clerk at the window,
suspecting the BILL told the man who handed
it to wait moment until he could consult DIR.
Bishop, the sub-treasurer DIR. Bishop recog-
nized in the note the familiar game, and said
it was worth just SIS. When the clerk returned
to the window, however, the man had left
without his change. The sub-treasury, which
was out IS on the first transaction, was evened
up by the second
This system of manipulating paper money
is perhaps one of the most dangerous forms
of swindling ever attempted. One or more
genuine "fronts" mixed with several whole
notes would be liable to deceive expert bank
tellers. The face bearing undoubted proof
of genuineness, very few would be apt to ex-
anime the backs of all the notes, unless some
thing in the feel of the paper might arouse
suspicion. Then should any one, especially
if not SO expert as a bank teller, happen to
strike the counterfeit side and have his doubts
about the notes, a glance at the other side
would possibly set at rest all questions

The Very Best Oranges.

The very sweetest and richest oranges are the
black or rusty-coated fruit. Pick out the
dingiest oranges in the box, and you will get
the best. Another way to choose oranges is by
weight. The heaviest are the best, because
they have the thinnest ,skin and more weight
of juice. Thick skinned oranges are apt to be
dry; they either weigh less because of having
SO much skin, or because of the poverty Of the
juice in these particular specimens. A slight
freezing of the tree causes this condition in
otherwise fine fruit.-Newman Qlls.) indie
