RESULT IN NEW JERSEY.
Abbett's Majority About 10000 H24 thu
 Assembly Democratic.

Assembly Democratic. TRENTON. N. J., Nov. 6-The election in New Jersey was for Governor, for all the Assembly, and for one-third of the Senate. Tho present Governor is a Democrat, and both Houses of the Leg islature are controlled by the same party.
 Leon Abbett. the Democratic can didate, has been elected by large majority oyer General E, Burd Grubb, the Republican candidate, and the Democrats have retained con trol of the Assembly. The latest re- turns indicate that the Republicans will regain the Senate by gaining the Senator from Cumberland county and retaining Atlantic county. The Senate will stand II Republicans to 10 Demo- crats. Abbett's ajority will be nearly 10. 900.
 The result as to the Assembly is very mixed on account of the rediStricting of the State by the last Legislature, the districts having been so changed that intelligent forecasts of the result have been impracticable. The latest indications as to the Leg islature arc as follows: THE NEW SENATE.

Novel Savings Bank.

A registering savings bank is the latest
novelty. 1t is shaped like a Saratoga
trunk. Three styles are made, one for
cents, another for half-dimes and a third for
dimes. Each, after the first coin is depos-
tied, is locked until the hundredth coin is
pushed through the slot, and as each coin
enters 1t registers upon a dial, A man who
buys dime bank must put 100 dimes into
1t II he wants to open 1t, and nickel bank
can be opened only when II contains IS.
The banks are strongly made of nickel
plated cast-iron, and the locking device is
unpickable, because after 1t is locked the
keyhole is taken indoors. Nothing but the
right amount Of coins win open 1t, and

test against the dog nuisance. II VIC lived
on the extreme edge of creation where
there were no laws, no trace of civilization,
instead of in this beautiful city, boasting of
its culture and refinement, we might submit
to this perpetual dog racket with better
grace Here, where we pay high rents and
taxes, and supposed to be protected against
damaging noise and nuisance, we are tor
tured night after night by the lion-mouthed
roar ofimmense brutes and the yelping, rasp-
ing bark Of small ours under our very ears.
Strange, is IL not, that our police protect
us against Irritating noises during the day,
and at night tread their beats In fear aud
trembling lest they infringe on the rights Of
the brutes that make sleep impossible.
Have we no laws and no one TO enforce them
no one with stamina enough TO demand
protection and peace at night. Here, within
one square Of Postmaster-General Wanna
makers residence one can easily count from
fifteen totwenty dogs barking aud bowling
at night. The Commissioners have been
appealed to, aud we hope sometime during
the next century to emerge from barbarous
dog monopoly to the reign OF order and

Capturing Gas Companies.

A special dispatch from St. Louis says;
"The New York-Philadelphia syndicate,
which stole into st. Louis about three
weeks ago and paid S3,500,0O0 for the
Laclede Gas Works, has just distinguished
itself by capturing the other gas company
at nominal cost of S5,500,000, making a
total investment IN st. Louis Of S9,000,0 900
in less than week. The agents were sup
posed to be acting for the Vanderbilts and
August Belmont. When, however, James
O'Connor and w. w. Gibbs appeared upon
the scene 1t became evident that the Equt-
able and United States Gas Companies of
New York and Philadelphia, in other words
Rockafeller, Warden, Gibbs and the other
Standard Oh nillionaires, were back of the
purchase. An officer Of the United States
Gas Improvement Company said yesterday
that neither his company nor the Standard
Oil Company had anything to do with the
purchase; that the reports from st. Louis
were greatly exaggerated, and that Hollins
Il Co., who appear in the deal, represent a
syndicate of wealthy men, whose names
were not given.n

The manager of the International Expo
sition at Buffalo has secured a novel at
traction-a human skyrocket, the handi-
craft Of Mr. Edselle of Callao, Peru,
formerly Of the United States Navy. His
model has been successfully experimental
with in South America, and brother In
Minneapolis has filed caveat. Sig.
Camarara made the initial trip. The ap-
paratus consists of combination Of rockets
of immense power, with parachute at
tachment which folds over the apex. -Four
tubes form the framework and contain the
explosives. The nature of the explosive is
secret, and is called dyno-ascenimite, Its
peculiar property is that 1t is decorating.
A small volume of the solid makes an i'm
mense volume of vapor, and lifts the ma
chine with lightning rapldity into the
clouds. The test took place under Peruvian
Government patronage, near Callao, In De-
cember. The charge, touched by electricity,
sent the machine over 1888 feet, and the
descent by parachute was perfect. Sig.
Camarara landed five miles from the start

Unprecedented Luck of the Hunters
on the New Foundinnd Coast.

ST. JomNs, N. F., April 25.-More than
81, ,O00, 600 worth Of seals have been captured
by the seal hunters from this port within
the past six weeks. The catch has been
unprecedented, and has led to the fitting
out of many other vessels for that industry.
The steamer Wolf was first to return with
n full cargo. She left port on March o,
and struck the seals on the 1lth midway
between Quirpon and Groas Island. On
the 18th the crew killed 10000 seals, aud
from the 18th to the 18th they took $4,000
more on board, and then started for home,
arriving here on the Goth. The total weight
Of her seals was 45l tons gross. Seals are
worth $3.50 each The value of the VOLTS
cargo Ia $4,000.

GUTHRIE.

II is pretty hard not to feel degree
of sympathy with the outwitted bu
resolute "boomers" who arrived at the
town site of Guthrie, in Oklahoma
only to find 1t occupied by United States
marshals and deputies, and who pro-
pose now to Jump those claims and
hold them.
Morally, the judges and marshals
and deputy marshals who seized upon
the town site of Guthrie, are certainly
not entitled TO the land and, legally, it
is doubtful If their claim is much better.
They tempted the wrath Of legitimate
settlers by their open rapacity and
unfa'rness, and not much sympathy
win be wasted on them whatever may
happen in the immediate future. They
are two.legged wolves.
Guthrie is a curiosity. A city of l0,-
600 or Ii, 900 people without any organ.
ized form of government can be nothing
else. There is a proportion of the dan
gerous element, and II is more than pos

THE PLACE FOR BOULANGER.

is desired by enemies so scared as to be

refuge for hunted celebrities, and is not
a bad asylum General Boulanger has
done very well. Still, he might have
done better He should have come to
the United States.
England is free country; in fact,
freer than this in many respects, but II is
very close to number of irritable
Governments, and bound TO certain
extent to observe the courtesies which
obtain among them. 1t does not give
up political refugees, but 1t requires of
them that while seeking its protection
they shall not intrigue too openly. The
fugitive in England is safe, but he is
constrained.
II General Boulanger will but come
10 the United States he will find himself
untrammeled. He may make faces at
all the powers that be and keep the At
Iantic cable warm with his manifestoes.
lie will be interviewed by the reporters
and his views will get the widest circu-
Iation. He can make 1t very uncom.
Portable for his foes at home. He would
be boon to the newspapers.
1t may not be courteous to the French
Republic TO invite General Boulangel
TO come here, but we are bound to be
consistent. We have allowed wal
against Englandsto be waged from tn,
United States, and we cannot do less
than afford every facility for trouble
making elsewhere. This is a glorious
country.
