generous character, and was highly appre-
ciated by those present. The evening was
spent in card playing, dancing, lively con-
versation. and in partaking of delicate re-
freshments. No small part of the enter
tainment was the artistic piano music fur
nished by Miss Kathryn Wilson and Mr..
Chas. Clark.

from defeat to day for his action in
these cases. indeed. it would have
looked better for him to have dismissed

PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-The stock
holders of the United Gas Improvement
company held their annual meeting to-
day, at which the preliminary steps
were taken towards guaranteeing the
organization of the prospective Ameri-
can Gas Investment company. This
new enterprise is to be capitalized at
$50, Coz. 900, of which One-half is to be
subscribed in this country and the other
half to be offered to English
capitalists. The capital will be
distributed in 100000 shares. at
500 par, and 1900 of these will be
issued at par as founders shares to sub
scribers in consideration of guarantee
Ing $500. 900 to pay for the organization.
AS soon as the organization of the new
company is effected 80 per cent will he
paid in, and the $l5,000,000 thus raised
Will be applied as follows: $10000,000
to pay outright for the absorption of the
present United Gas Improvement COM
pany, and $5,000,000 to go to the
new concern as immediate work
ing capital. The $1O,0O0,000 which
is to be used to practically
buy out the United Gas Improvement
plant, covers the $500, 900 of capital of
the present organization and surplus
of $4,000, 600 which the company has az
cumulated in addition. The Old officers
were all reelected except William /.

by the time this reaches the eye of
GLOBE readers far and wide over the

Eleventh offer admirable fighting
ground. The Democratic ticket for
aldermen at large is a splendid one, and
last nights prospects were for the easy
election of the entire ticket. without
the loss of man. Judge Burr's course
has greatly weakened the Republican
ticket for municipal judges, though

BRILLIANTLY CLOSED.
Democrats Close the Campaign
With Great Enthusiasm.

The Democratic campaign ended with
a number Of grand rallies in different
parts of the city last evening, and, if
the interest shown by the large crowds
which turned out can be taken as an
index of the result of the election, the
most sanguine claims of the most en-
thusiastic Democrats will be realized by
the result of the voting to-day. A grand
open air meeting of the voters of the
Eighth and Ninth wards was held at the
corner of Sycamore street and Park
avenue, which was addressed by Arthur
G. Otis, Tom Martin, John S: erode.
John w. Willis, Aid. Gehan and David
Fitzgerald. There was tremend us
crowd in attendance, and the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed.
In the Fifth ward two monster Demo-
cratic rallies were held, one at Schade's
park, on West Seventh street. and the
other at the corner of Sherman
and West Seventh Both meetings
were attended by what seemed to be
nearly the entire Democracy of the
Fifth ward, and enthusiastic and ami
mated speeches were delivered by Dan
w. Lawler, Judge j. J. McCafferty, Hon.
John l.. Townley, Hon. John Ii. Ives,
and many other noted speakers. The
''promises'' of the Kiefer-Newson com
bination were riddled in manner both
interesting and entertaining to the
crowd.
Another great rally was held On Front
street, near Lexington avenue. which
was addressed by Judge Lars M.-Rald,
of Minneapolis, who showed up the rot
tenness of the present Republican adj
ministration in Minneapolis; County
Treasurer A. N. Nelson, j. w. Lahitf
and William Evans.
If a few of the Republican tricksters,

VOTE EARLY,

Under the new election law early vOt'

been something OF a virtue.
The Republican SchemerS are count.
ing on the Democratic laboring men
losing their votes by reason of the terms
of the new election law. which provides
that the polls must close at O'clock.
Whether it was the deliberate intention
of the last Republican legislature to dis
franchise large proportion of the
labOring men or not by this particular
provision of the law, there is no dOubr
that it will have just that effect, unless
labOring men vote either OH their way
to their daily work in the morning or at
noon, for no one can get oil in the after
noon in time to vote before > O'Clock. I
Vote either in the morning or al
noon.
The petty meannesS and tricllery of
the kiefer gang was never shown in q
clearer or more contemptu0us light
than it was yesterday when they de-
cided to recommend to all Republican
employers that they hold their men, il
H.,
to prevent them from voting the Demo
cratic ticket. At noon they know the
polls will be crowded, and so, i'm this
diSreputable and unprincipled manner,
they hope to keep down the Democratic
vote. This is Oh par with that other
scheme of the Republicans which is to-
be worked at the opening of the polls
this morning. AT each precinct where
there are two Democratic judges host
of Republicans nave been notified to DO
present, and if by any chance one of the
Democrats should be 4 moment late they
will endeavOr to plant some willing
tool or the kids i'll his place.
But this scheme will not work. for the
Democrats will be on hand. Unlike
many OF their opponents, the Democrats
are accustomed to early rising.
Another plot, quite worthy Of the
party that would use even the deSpica-
bic crime OF perjury to disfranchise
legal voters of the opposition, will DO
an attempt to get Il lot of Republicans
in the election booths, and by having
them consume a great deal of time in
preparing their ballots, thus prevent
many Democrats from voting.
If the Burgers, the Johns, the Reeses
and the LCwensteinS attempt to carry
out this plot they will find themselves
lin the soup" early i'll the day.
Democrats should remember thatthey
will be faced at the polls to-day by tho
worst pack of scoundrelS that ever Sc
cured control of a political orgauiza-
ton; that these men will stop at moth
ing TO gain point or make a vote; that
they have already, through perjury,
tried to disfranchiSe host of Demo
Gratis: that they have spent time and
money to defend the perjurers, and
last. but not least, that a stunning de-
feat to-day will relegate the present
gang in control of the Republican
party to the rear for all time. Such an
opportunity does not often happen for
Democrats and Republicans to do tho
latter party substantial service by
pulling and working together.
Send the perjurerS and the subornors
of perjury to the rear, and do it by vot-
ing early.
