mittee room was not particularly lively,
although it was all work there. Aid.
Grimes read the official reports from
judges of election, MCGOWAN "held
copy" with the duplicate sheet, City
Clerk Haney transferred the figures to
the score card, Aid. Durham chewed
the cud of reelection and cigar, and
Aid. Reeves slept piacidly as child
tired Of play. 1t seems queer that the
committee would be perfectly satisfied
with the system pursued. Always here
tofore it has been customary to have the
aldermen do all the figuring without the
city clerk. and to keep two tally sheets,
one as check upon the other. Mistakes
can occur.
The canvass of the First wards re-
count in the Second ward will produce
a contest. II. l.. Penney was there
looking after the interests of Enoch
Hidden. who will fight Barrows' title TO
seat. The count gives Barr0ws 759
and Hidden 79s. plurality of 81 for
Barr0ws. But some Irregularities are
believed TO exist in that ward.
Some suspicion attaches to the
returns of the Second precinct of
the Second ward. That district
gives BarrOwS and Hidden 12l votes
each. Long before election all parties
agreed that Hidden would carry that
precinct by handsome plurality. The
tie causes remark. especially when it Is
known that all three Of the judges were
strong Barrows men, and when it is
considered that the returns from that
district were late i'm coming in. The
matter will be looked into.
No one was particularly interested In
the canvass of the Third ward, where
there are no Republicans, but . the
Fourth was watched, William Boehr
having announced that he would con-
test Loge's election. But the official
count gives Loge a plurality of 1873. so
1t is doubtful whether Boehr will queS-
ton it.
In the Fifth ward the court
gives BraZie plurality of Us
over Breyer, but it is certain that
i'll the Tenth district Breyer received
III votes instead of 101. as reported.
This would make Brazie's lead only IS.
as claimed by him. but there is ground
for contest and one will be made.
Five wards were canvasSed last night.
and the work will be finishe. tonight
early enough to be reported to the coun-
Gil. Winston's plurality will be in
creased by tie official count. 1t shows
that he has carried the Fourth ward i'll
good shape. Z. B. Winston. S. B. Love.
Il. l.. Penney. g. A. Cornman and Ed
Stevens kept tab" on the canvass.

AN ELECrRiFIED TREE.

Strange Phenomenon Which Can
Only Be Explained by Live
Wire.
There was q strange sight at the
corner of " ashington and Hunter streets
last night, says the Atlanta Constitu-
rion.
A large water oak tree, growing on
the capitol grounds. was the center of
the sensation, which attracted the at
tention of the citizens in the neighbor-
hood and paSSerS-by.
About two feet from the base of the
tree, the exterior OF which was black
ened and the leavs and branches drop
ping and whiting, in sunken-ln place
shaped like needles eye, the center
OF the eye extending almost to the heart
of the tree, was an opening.
From this aperture volume of hot
steam bclched fourth, and the sound of
boiling say could be heard distinctly.
In places the hot sap OoZed through tn e
bark in long seams.
1t was strange sight, and for good
while its cause was unaccOutable. To
the touch the tree WAS unbearably hot
The only cause that could be assigned
for the freak was stray wire which
was tied from the tree to an electric
hight pole on the corner becoming
crossed with a main current wire i'm
perfectly insulated,
The electric light works was notified,
but nothing could he done until this
morning. when the current is cut off.

RESPONSIBILITY OF AGENTS.
An Attorney Called Down for I'm
necessary Remarks.

Judge BOOKER is trying the case of
j. B. IabOUr, administrator of the es-
tate of Fred Boswnrth, against the
Northwestern Mutual Lite Insurance
company. which. in measure, is to de-
termine the responsibility of the special
acts of its agents. In 1887 Bosworth in
Sured with an agent. and stated that he
would be unable to pay the premium
until after the holidays. The agent, it
is claimed, agreed 10 an extension of
sixty days. Bosworth directed his en-
ployer to pay the premium Immediately
after Christmas. Bosworth was found
dead iii bed on Dec. 80. His employer
al once sent the company his check for
the premium. This was returned, for,
according to the terms of the policy, it
was imperative until the premium was
paid. The company refused to settle,
and hence the suit.
In q wOrdy argument upon legal
question Mir. HuddlesOn. the plaintiffs
attorney. made The remark that the
court would think different if, instead
of corporation, an individual. had been
the defendant"
For this he got merciless scoring at
the hands Of the court. He was very
prOfuse with his explanations.

MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

County Auditor Condit says that it is
several degrees more agreeable to walk
put of Office at the end of four years
Ihan TO be kicked out. Mr.. Condit, it
may be remarked, was not 4 candidate
for reelection, while some of the other
fellows were. Therein lies the differ
ence.
1t would be policy for Emerson Cole
to withdraw. He is the only candidate
for the legislature from Hennepin
county who stands CHEST of show of
being elected. He would be lost in a
delegation of twenty Democrats.
Senator Quay is reported ms saying
that the best thing 10 do now is to saw
wood. This remark is respectfully re-
ferred to Johnson, BradiSh, Blethen
ct al. Although they might not care to
saw wood, they might pitch-dirt.
The coming legislature should knock
out John Midnight Smiths hang-before-
daylight law. The present law is an
outrage. 1t is cOwardly 10 strike man
in the dark, when he cannot protect
himself.
The next legislature will be Demo-
cratic all right enough, and Will do off
ferent from all former legislatures,
which have done nothing but make the
acts of their predecessors appear respect
able compared with its own. All have
been Republican, and each has been
worse than the preceding one. For this
reason the people demanded a change.

Thomas Mccarthy Tells the Grand
jury How 1t Was Done.

The grand jury completed its labors
last night and was discharged. About
fifteen indictments were returned. but
no arrangements will be made until
Monday. Among the cases considered
yesterday were those OF Charles Samler
and his wife Augusta, whom Thomas
Mccarthy, a Crystal Lake farmer, ac-
cuses of holding him up. He says that
some time ago he was awakened by a
noise i'll the house. Stepping out to the
sitting room, he saw Samler in fhe act
of going through his clothing. He made
dash, and as he did so. his watch and
some gold coin fell to the floor. Both
attempted to seize it, and Mrs. Samler
pulled gun on Mccarthy. This addi-
tlonal reinforcement turned the tide of
battle in favor of the robbers, and thew
got the money and got away.
