THE RESULT.

THE RESULT.
Tuesday dawned bright and warm,
affording the northwest one of the
most pleasant election days imag.
Unable. The returns from the
county are not all in, but enough is
known to assure the election of
everybody on the Republican ticket
except Captain Gregg, he being de-
feated by John Shippam for Judge
of Probate,-and the defeat of pro-
hibitlon by some $50 votes. 1t was
not expected that the Democratic
ticket would win. All that was
wanted-or expected was Sunder-
hauf for auditor, s. H. Snyder for
attorney John Shippam for Judge of
probate and the defeat of the So
called local option. Mr.. VanDer-
veer had no expectation of winning,
but went on to the ticket to help to
hold down the Republican vote and
defeat the local option farce,-and
the thing was done to his satisfac-
tion. We are sorry to have to ac-
cept the defeat of Sunderland for he
is one of the most efficient officers
in the court house, but since defeat
it is. we extend congratulations to
the victor. Mr.. Perry, with the hope
that he may prove as capable us has
the man lie follows.
John Shippam deserves much
credit for the splendid victory he
has sustained, but it is no more
than natural, and just what he de-
serves. Mr. Shippam.' will make
one of the best of officials and will
come out at the end of his term
with more friends than he now has.
The TIMES congratulates Judge
shippam. And among our Repub-
lican friends, w. S. Lauder made IL
phenomenal run, getting six or
eight hundred majority over Mr..
Snyder for district attorney, and lie
will of course make an efficient Of.
ticer. Mathews has carried the
county by a small majority.
We will publish a tabular state
ment next week.

sCOOPED.

The Democratic party of the ma
tiOn has been floored. Not only has
President Cleveland been most en-
phatically knocked out, but it is
claimed that the lower house of
congress is now safely in the Re-
publican fold-giving everything
back to the grand old party with
its bloody shirt and British lion
humbuggery. And since the peo-
pie were not to be pleased with a
clean, able, aggressive and conscien-
tious administration of national
affairs in Democratic hands, the
latter party is to be congratulated
on the fact that the public has
spoken so emphatically in disap-
proval of that sort of thing, prefer
ring the exquisite pleasure of re-
verting to the record of the grand
old party, the possibility of the
great reform which may come
from the removal of the tax from
whiskey and tobacco. and lastly
the narrow escape the United
States have had from being swal-
lowed up by England. These were
the precious things which seem to
have sunken deeply into the heart
of the American voter, and the
Democratic party can we'll afford to
rest in patience and few months
hence-or years as the case may be

patriotic record of President Cleve.

The latter have really promised
nothing and done nothing except to
mendaciously alarm the country
against the advocacy of great prin-
ciples of fundamental government
and an equitable commercial man
agement Of its affairs. So much fol
the country at large.
And then there is the undisputable
fact that the president has not been
Democratic enough in the city OF
New York to please the party man
ayers, which fact must also be
placed to Mr.. Cleveland's credit as
having done what lie thought to be
right, but which was really party
mistake. This is shown from the
/ fact that Gov. Hill, an uncompro

About COWardiCe.

There have been many instances
which go to prove that a young soldier
ought not always to be hastily sacrificed
for finching in his first engagement,
says General Porter in the current num-
ber of the Century. Upon one occasion,
during desperate assault in which the
attacking column was under wither-
ing fire, | saw company of officer de-
sert his men and run to the rear, us pale
as corpse, trembling like an aspen,
the picture of an abject craven. He
even tore off his shoulder straps that he
might not be recognized as an officer.
He needed neither urgings nor threats;
he was past all shame; he was absolutely
demented. 1t was all the more distress
ing because he was man of great intel
ligence and possessed many good quail
tiles. When the engagement was oyer,
the only question seemed to be whether
he should be casbiered or shot; but he
begged 50 hard of his commanding Off
Ger to give him another trial, to grant
him one more chance to redeem him
self from disgrace, and gave such earn
est pledges for his future conduct that
he was finally released from arrest and
allowed to go into battle with his COM
| pany. He fulfilled his pledges most re-
| ligiOusly. Wherever there was danger
| he was seen in the midst OF it; his con-
| duct in every subsequent fight was that
| of hero; and he was finally promoted
| to the rank of a field officer. He had
| effaced the. blot from his escutcheon.
| The man was no coward at heart; he
| had for the moment, in army parlance
"lost his grip under that murderous
| fire.

a Scientific CuriOSity.

Last evening Mr.. o. X. Pratt brought INTO
THE BEE office an osseous structure which
battles the knowledge of the oldest inhab-
itant. 1t was unearthed yesterday by some
workmen who were excavating for raising
his house, No. 7l3 South Sixth street. 1t
was found about four feet below the surface
and must have been brought hither in the
clay taken from the banks and used to fill his
lot. 1t is evidently of great age, but IS re-
markaby well preserved.
A bare outline in description is all that can
be given at this time. 1t is "a vertebrate and
has dorsal fin extending from the neck
proper about six inches down the back. 1t
has two legs, the bony structure of which is
the same as that Of the human species. 1t
has no wings 1t has the same number of
ribs as are contained IN any mammal.
1t hes broad, fiat head, which con-
tans the regularly formed teeth of
the modern rodent The head evidently had
no lateral motion. Its eyes were SO located
as to look straight ahead. The auricular
passage is located well back toward the neck.
In fact it presents so many curious combina-
tions as compared with the bodies of the
birds, mammals and reptiles of to-day that
for novice to classify it is impossible. The
attention of the local naturalists Is respect
fully invited to it, 1t will be found to-day at

More Fire Department Changes.

At the last meeting of the city council the
matter of making certain changes in the fire
department came up for discussion. Views
were exchanged between the aldermen, the
mayor and certain citizens who appeared to
protest against the change made day or
two ago by the chairman of the fire COM
mttee. The sole idea in the changes sug-
possible protection. The matter was finally
left in the hands of the fire committee with
the suggestion from the mayor that the situa-
ton should be looked into carefully by the
committee and such changes as they deemed
necessary or best should be reported
to the council so that that body as a
whole should understand what was
being done This suggestion was, to
say the least, good one, and one which the
fire committee would have done well to OBJ
serve. They did not choose to do so, how
ever, and after taking day for deliberation
they made the following changes: "Old Pat'
and the single reel were taken to No. 3. The
bay team was taken to No, 4, and the gray
team to No. g. 1t seems that no ones wishes
or advice was asked. No one but the fire
committee are responsible for the changes,
and if there is any blame to attach anywhere
they must shoulder it. Candor compels the
statement that the committee were acting in
good faith, solely desrous for the best good
of the whole city, and if there has been an
error in the arrangement of the department
(Which does not yet appear), it is one of
Judgment and without al!y ultefior design.
Certain it is that there is quite a general kick
all along the line. but whether a better
arrangement of the department can be de-
vised IS certainly question.

A NarrOW ESCane.

The following incident is narrated by
an officer on the staff of General j. +.
b. Stuart, of the Confederate army, says
the Youths Companion. The opera
tion was neat one, but most men would
rather be shaved with razor than with
q bullet.
General Stuart, as usual, greatly eX-
posed his own person on horseback by
riding out of the wood into the open
field, ana felt it my duty to say to him
that in my opinion he was not in his
proper place, as in a few minutes the
whole fire of the enemy would be con-
centrated upon him.
But he was in very bad humor. and
answered curtly thatif this place seemed
likely to become too hot for me, | was
at liberty to leave it; whereupon | made
response that since my duty attached
me to his side no place could be too hot
for me where he choose to 20.
Nevertheless | changed my position
nd cautiously brought large tree, in
front of which | had been standing, be-
tween myself and the enemy.
In an instant the firing began, and
three bullets struck the tree at just the
height to show that, had | remained
where | was, they would certainly have
gone through my body. Looking at
Stuart, l saw him pass his hand quickly
across his face, and even at that serious
moment l could not help laughing
heartily when | discovered that one of
the numberless bullets that had been
whistling round him had cut off half of
his beloved mustache as neatly as it
could have been done by the hand of an
experienced barber.

Wanted n Fight and Got 1t.

On Tuesday last Pete Johnson and Chris
Crothers, employees in Nickha,n's brick yard,
came to blows and for their fracas answered
IN court. johnson had Crothers arrested,
and yesterday the case came up in the supe-
rior court. Previous to this the father of
young Crothers filed an information in JUS
tce Barnett's court against johnson to COM
pei the latter to keep the peace. The result
of the first case was dismissal and the costs
were taxed to Johnson. This apparently
satisfied Crothers, for he Immediately paid
the costs of the second procedure and moth
lug further was done. The evidence showed
that johnson was the offending party and
made the frat assault after which Crothers,
who is a peaceable "great big boy" pitched
in and gave his assailant such thrashing as
he deserved
