Dlphtheria Epidemic.

WILMINGTON, November 6.-Diphthe, ria, in this section of the state has been causing considerable uneasiness. Seve. ral people have already succumbed to the dread disease. On account of the prevalence of the disease Dr Atchinson of the state board of health made a re. port. In his report he finds that the dis. ease has ragged in a population of SOC people, distributed along Lenni, Rock dale, Crozerdale, West Branch, Park mount, Glen Riddleans Village Green. It originated he said from some dead hogs which, after being thrown into the creek had been washed up on the bank and allwed to purify. The first cases appeared in that locality. Dr Atchinson found much else to con demn from a sanitary standpoint. All the filth in the places named was per- mitted to flow into Chester creek, which thus became the culture bed of the dis ease. He urges the cleaning of all cess pools, and also that their discharge into the creek be cut off. He recommends mill owners to stop their employees from work until they can show a clean bill of health, and condemns public funerals.

If Morris Is Elected the Democrats
 win obtain Some of the Plums.
 With a democratic governor and a democratic senate. the democrats will practically control the state, as far as the appointmen of judges and commission CTS are concerned. The governor makes these nominations and they are confirm ed by the senate, the house having no voice in the matter. In regard to judges of common pleas the police courts, the democrats also hold the situation in their power. These judges are nominated by county representatives, and must be confirmed by the general assembly. It is therefore in the power of the senate to to reject any or all nominations of judges, and in that manner the two houses of the legislature will disagree. In this event the governor Is authorized to appoint judges. s*' @5'
 In regard to the appointment of county commissioners Section 1873 of the revised statutes says:
 "There shall be three county commits sioners in each county who shall be ap- pointed by the general assembly. The general assembly at it's regular session in after, shall appoint one commissioner in each county, and at its regular session in the year 1891, and quadrenially there after, shall appoint two commissioners in each county. The commissioners 50 appointed shall hold office for four years from the first day of July next fol lowing their appointment. Vacancies may be filled by the governor until Wednesday of the third week of the next regular session of the general as sembly."

.ne rourrn or Ring Finger.

It is a generally known fact that the fourth, or ring finger of the human hand is not on a par with the other fingers, it being the weakest, the least flexible and d~the most rebelious in action. Scientific men explain this feebleness by the theory that the lateral tendons joining the ring finger to the others composing the hand in a measure paralyze it's movements. To the majority of people 1t matters little that one of the fingers should be in- ferior to the rest in strength; as sci- entific oddity, however, it is worthy of note; to the pianist or the player of stringed instruments 1t is Q source ot considerable inconvenience. As art can in the present day remedy most defects which incommode us, a medical man has thought that some- thing might be done to free the ring finger. He informs those interested in the matter that if they wish to have a stEong, flexible fourth finger they have but to submit to a surgical operation, which consists in dividing the tendons of tho hand. The operation, which is very simple, scarcely deserving of the name, has recently been performed on several New York, Boston and Brook tyn pianists. .-,St Louis Republic.

John Hunters Claim For stone Not
 Allowed.

Allowed.
 At the meeting of the board of road commissioners, last night, bill of $432 was received from John Hunter, who charged the city with taking 2,700 feet of stone from his property. The city engineer estimated that only 1,SO0 feet of stone was used in the construction of the Clark street culvert, where the stone taken from Hunters land was used. The matter was referred to the street inspec- tor.
 Commissioner Chipman asked the board for permission to improve the sewer on Bank street running from Randolph & Gloves, to the Farrell foundry before the street was paved. It was granted.
 Jeremiah Fitzpatrick claimed that in rainy weather the stream that runs through his property on the corner of East Main and Wall streets overtiows its bank and floods his cellar he asked for relief. The board decided to visit the place and see what can be done.
 The acting city engineer was in- structed to report as to the advisability of extending Wall street.

The Democratic Candidate Fairly
 Elected Beyond a Doubt.
 NEW HAVEN, Nov 6.-Both the New Haven Register and the Hartford Times claim the election of Morris for gover- nor, hy a majority of s5. The Courant counted upon the prohibition vote in Stafford and Brooklyn to overcome Morris majority, but it was learned to- day that in Stafford the prohibition vote had already been counted. In Brooklyn no prohibition votes were cast:
 The vote of the town of Trumbull shows a democratic majority of 4s.
 The republicans have now turned their attsn to Bridgeport and will make an effort to have counted the 122 republican ballots which were declared illegal on account of being marked.
 In Birmingham the democrats have entered formal protest against count ing the prohibition vote, on the ground that the name of the candidate for judge of probate was written instead of printed according to law.
 At 8 o'clock this afternoon the follow ing dispatch from the Hartford Times was received by the Connecticut Associ ated Press According to the revised and corrected returns the vote 1T the state stands, Morris 67,610 Merwin 63,9S7, Augur 3,316, scat tering 243. This would give Morris majority of GA votes with tht prohibition and labor votes to he heard from in eleven towns. This small ma jority may be wiped out.
 HARTFORD. Nov 6.-The election O governor all depends upon the returns from Trumbull, in Fairfield county The figures published in the Couran give Merwin 155 and Morris TOT in thi town. If these returns are correc Morris will fall B short of majority The Hartford Times claims the figures should be reversed giving Morris 155 ant Merwin TOT in Trumbull. Should tn, latter figures prove correct the majorit. for Morris will be A. In 1888 Trumbul gave Morris 175 votes and Bulkeley 150.

Grand and Successful Opening of
 tho sacred Heart Church Fair.
 To the very large and happy audience at the opening of the fair last night, City hall presented an attractive and beautiful sight. The decorations were never so beautiful. The walls and cell ing were decked with a profusion of flags and shells of all colors, and numer- ous streamers of bright bunting extend ed from the large chandelier to all parts of the hall The ladies' fancy booth for the sale of useful and necessary articles, drew the attention of admirers of woman's handiwork, and the sales and profits from this booth will no doubt prove successful. A glance at the home arrangement which makes up hand. some parlor, bedroom, and kitchen, each room furnished with most beauti full and neat settings will make the many young prospective housekeepers, who visit the fair, pull wish-bones even before Thanksgiving. On the stage, Mrs Bergen and Messrs Maloney, Dow and Shea contributed to the amusements by their funny Proposal" Tonight the "Castaways," Dolly" and ''Don't Forget Oars a Weddin' will be the glees, and some fine tableaux, together with the dancing, will serve to entertain the patrons.

THAT ENVELOPE SCHEME.
Curious Mistake Made by Two
 Ardent Republicans.

ATAehL NSpuDIlS1uSs
 Many conflicting reports have been circulated in regard to an attempt made in the fourth ward, election day, by re- publicans, to obtain possession of off cial ballots for 'outside" use. The facts in the case are as follows:
 Dr F. A. Warnes and John P. Morgan approached the booth at the fourth ward, procured envelopes entered a booth. A minute or two later they ap preached the ballot box and Warnes pre- pared to deposit his ballot. His name was not upon the list and he was in structed to go to another district. The moderator asked for and received his envelope and he started for the door, followed by Morgan. Officer Dodds was aware of the fact that the latter had only short time before voted in the second ward and had him under surveil- lance. MT Morgan when asked to pro- duce the envelope he had received at the booth declared that he did not have one of the official envelopes. Matters were beginning to get interesting when Dr Warnes produced the second official enve- lope.
 Both gentlemen deny any intention of wrong doing. No arrests were made.

Riots in a Mexican Town.

CRY OF MEXICO, June For some time
trouble has existed between the Catholic and
Protestant propagandists at Queretaro, which
resulted some months ago in the imprison-
ment of Catholic priest. Father Buenrastro,
for an overt act. Queretaro, outside perhaps
of Pueblo, is the most ultra Catholic city in
the republic. The Catholics on Sunday
threatened to kill the district judge and COM
NIT violence against the Protestant prOpa-
gandists.
The trouble had its origin in the prompt
action of the district judge in causing the
arrest of and sending to prison the promoters
of the attempt to release Priest Buenrastro.
The activity of the judge excited the Catholic
masses to violence and they attempted to
kill him. The entire police force was called
out and federal troops patrolled the streets,
guarding the residences and churches of the
Protestants. During the day the Catholic
masses, with Mr.. MacGregor, recanting
convert from the Protestant church, at their
head, made an attack on the federal troops.
the encounter resulting in the wounding of
several Catholics, MacGregor among them,
and many soldiers. The soldiers, however.
succeeded in capturing the rioters, who were
Immediately imprisoned. The people of
Queretaro are greatly excited, but the pres
ence of troops, it is believed. Will prevent
further difficulty.
