began to drip, then plunged into cold
water, and, after cooling, bent cold
over the anvil and hammered down
close, without sign of crack or flaw,
while the other end, which had not been

NINE HUNDRED ILLEGAL VOTES,
Ana q Democratic Majority In "a
west virginia County Vanished.

ana = Democratic Majority I'm a
west virginia County Vanished.
BRAnwELL, Mercer county, w. Va,
November 3O.-The darkest fraud in the
recent election in West Virginia is found
in the counties of Mercer and Mcdowell.
They are the banner counties, SO far as
corruption and vote-buying are con.
earned. The amount of fraud practiced
Il almost beyond belief.
Look at these figures: In 1880 the total
Republican vote of Mercer county cast
for Garfield was only So. In 1884 Blaine
Dolled 461 votes in the county, but be
Vac then 4SO behind the vote for Han
cock. The Democratic vote showed its
natural increase this year, but neverthe-
less the Republicans have an apparent
m aiority of 39.
A careful canvass OF both Mercer and
Mcdowell counties was made the last
week before the election. NO serious
defections were reported anywhere, and
both counties we're put down TOR about
their usual majorities OF 400 800. When
the startling returns from Mercer and NC
Dowell came in the Democrats at once
began an investigation. The first thing
they discovered was that there were 9OC
more votes cast in Mercer county than
could be accounted for on the Assessors e
books. The Assessor. w. II. Whiten, If
an old resident of the county and mos'
faithful officer. He knows nearly every
man, woman and child in the county anc
made up his rolls this year in July
After travelling over the county
from one end to the other he was
unable to find 900 men who
subsequently presented themselves tc
vote. and swore that they had been resi-
dents of the county for sixty days and o.
the State for more than twelve months
That there could be any such discrep
sncy between the rolls OF the Assessor
and the list of legal voters no one be-
lieves for q moment.
The same condition of affairs exists IL
Mcdowell county, adjoining Mercer. The
Republican vote took a surprising leal
and wiped out the Democratic majorlt.
with l74 votes to spare, although thu
Democrats neld their own and mad,
their natural gains.
The Republicans assert that the open
ing of several coal mines in these tw.
counties, and the building OF new rail
road through Mercer, have brought man.
new residents, mostly Negroes, which &C
counts for the increased vote and thei
amazing gain. 1t is true that severa
coal mines have been opened, but nom
has been in operation for more than {
wear, and consequently the Negroes EN-
ployed therein could not vote legally IL
tins Ctate on the 9th of last November
The same is also true of the railroad i'm
provement.

FIVE VERY RICH GIRLS.
Marriageable American Maidens
who Are Worth &57.OOO,OOO.


The announcement of the engagement
A. J. Drexel, to Mr.. Edward Morrell of
this city, brings up the subject OF rich
unmarried girls, an interesting subject at
any time. Miss Drexel and her two
sisters are said to be the three richest
unmarried ladies in the United States.
This statement is open to dispute.
These three ladies were left a fortune of
$13, 900, 900 by their father, the late F. A.
Drexel. 1t was so invested as to bring
each an income of $500, 900 yearly. Miss
Mary Garrett, daughter of the late rail-
road king, was left $20,000,000.
Miss Garrett is money maker, and
has accumulated fortune since her
fathers death, SO that the combined for
tunes of the Misses Drexel cannot equal
hers. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
Misses Drexel are the three wealthiest
unmarried sisters in the United States,
but it is likely that to Miss Mary Garrett,
daughter of the founder of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. and not to either OF
the Misses Drexel, belongs the
distinction OF being the richest un-
married lady in America. Miss Gar
rett is probably better business
woman than either of them. She has
the commercial acumen of her father,
and her penetration and discrimination
in business affairs are much remarked
among business men of Baltimore, where
her movements in commercial affairs are
watched with much interest. With all
this vast wealth at her disposal, Miss
Garrett's chief characteristic is her mod
isty, which hardly seems compatible
with the hurly-burly which the manage.
ment of $40, 1000, 900 would entail. 1t is
we'll understood that Miss Garrett, and
no other, manages her large fortune.
Had her brother Robert been as
careful financier the Baltimore and
Ohio road might still be controlled by
the Garrett estate.
1t is said that Miss Garrett. in her eff.
forts to turn an honest penny, religiously
avoids the speculative exchanges, having
morbid fear that if she once gets into
this whirlpool Gould might drag her
down. If Gould ever gets the advantage
OF Mary Garrett it will have to be in a
deal in Government bonds or gilt-edged
real estate.
After the Misses Drexel and Miss Gar
rett comes Miss Nellie Gould as rich
unmarried woman. Miss Gould is much
younger than either OF the others. I'm
like them, she is not rich in her own
right, but prospectively she ranks fourth
among the wealthy unmarried women Of
the United States. If her father meets
with no reverses-and ne seems able to
take care of himself-her individual
fortune ought not to be far from $780,
100000.
A Philadelphia banker recently said to
the writer that the combined fortunes OF
the three Misses Drexel, counting their
accumulations since their fathers death,
was not far short of SIS 100000. Miss
Garrett's fortune must now be $21 ,000,-
900, and if Miss Gould can muster
500, 100000, we have $57 ,000,0 900 to be
divided between five unmarried Ameri-
can girls, either one of them worthy any
mans love although she did not have a
dollar instead of many millions.-[P Phil

Aerased Fuel Used I'm Forging.


The american Machinist of December
has an interesting article on successful
experiments made with furnace used
by the Aersted Fuel Company of Spring
field, Massachusetts, in burning oil for
forging iron, steel, etc. The writer says
81 saw them start with a cold forge and
melt 81 lbs. of copper in the ingot, with
an expenditure Of gallons of oil, costing
the Boston and Albany people 21a cts.
per gallon; or, put it in this way, at a
cost of little less than Is of
. cent per pound Of copper melted,
this being very much less than the
cost with Goals. The application is very
simple; all that is necessary to do to the
furnace now in use is to cover the CRATE
with fire. brick, and make hole through
the furnace, and place burner opposite
the same. This burner is screwed into
small cylinder, about twelve inches long
and six inches in diameter, filed auto
matically with oil to certain height, and
under about fifteen pounds air pressure,
which atomizes the oil, and as it burns
making . perfect glow, for on looking
into this furnace no blaze can be seen,
nothing but an intense white heat. per-
fectly controlled, lighted with the same
facility IS natural gas, and when the
work was done, as easily extinguished.
In fact, this process seems to give the
outside of the gas belt all !
the advantages Of those that are in, and |
Bven more, as, at the present price of oil !
md natural gas, the oil is claimed to be |
he cheapest, unless ono owns his own
wells.

RATHER A REVELATION.
which Explains why Some Women
Have So Many New Dresses.

WnICn EXpIdlnS W Ii SODAC w
Have So Many New Dresses.
It may be one or two leaders of fashion
in Philadelphia who, after using their
elegant garments, turn these over to
pawnbrokers, or the "old clio" dealers of
South or Bainbridge street, but that any
great number, either of New York or
Philadelphia women, devote their
finery to poor relatives, charity, or junk
shop-keepers is simply absurd.
Many theatrical costumers, through
the servants of rich people, learn when
they have elegant garments to dispose OF,
and find means of approaching fine folks
and buy them at prices ridiculously
small, it is true, but more nearly ap-
proximating their real value than any
that would be offered by pawn-brokers or
second hand dealers of the delectable
localities above named. Many leading
ladies and gentlemen of the stage Ito say
nothing of the lesser lights thereof, who
RE advertised as appearing nightly
the exquisite creations of Worth
other law.givers of fashion in
bris) thus become the fortunate
bsessors of very elegant dresses.
Some of the women of fashion who are
lid to have new external outfits thrice
4 every day in the year are the wives
nd daughters of hard-working profes-
onal men, or of men engaged in a
hand to mouth" business and daily
Struggle to meet the obligations such
business entails. The way in which the
fine dressing is obtainable in many in
stances by ladies who are not possessed
Of inexhaustible gold mines OF "bonanza
husbands' or fathers, is simply, accord
ing to one of their numbers, as follows:
They have arrangements with modistes
in leading cities, whereby in considera-
ton of 25 per cent advance on the selling
cost OF costumes they may need, obtain
an immense variety of garments, with the
understanding that they are not to be
worn in the city where they are first
manufactured or exhibited, and are re-
turned unsoiled after once wearing. Phil
adelphia ladies leave their measures with
prominent New York houses who send to
their order the gowns they wish knowing
their style and tastes. Thus they are
as new to their wearers as to
the society in which their beauty is first
publicly shown. New York women have,
", are told, the same understanding
wi b some Philadelphia houses.
This is an entirely legitimate and rea-
Bonable explanation of how fine dresses
are disposed of after being once worn,
and being given by lady who knows,
it is likely to be true; at any rate, is
more in harmony with the eternal fitness
of things than either the poor relations,
the missionary, the pawnbroker or junk
shop theory of disposing of garments
and still quite fresh and uninjured.-
