ELECTION RErJRls.
THE SUPERVISORS STILL WRESTLING
WITH THE COUNTRY PRECINCTS.
A Strong Belief That Campbell Has
Beaten Doty for the Assembly
More Errors.

At the close of to-day's work the Super
visors had finished the canvass of ELECTION
returns up to the last two of the Fourth
Supervisor District. They expect to com.
plete the entire task by Tuesday evening.
The results of yesterdays canvassing
made considerable difference to one or two
candidates. 1t looks now as if Campbell
will beat Doty for the Assembly in the
Twentieth District.
In one precinct four votes were given to
Doty that seemed to belong to Campbell,
inasmuch as they were Tailed opposite his
name. But tine totals, as carried out by the
election clerks, differed from the tallies
and the votes were counted for Doty.
THE USUAL ERRORS.
The tally-sheets from the eighteenth
precinct Buffers Halfway House, were
full of errors, and when the canvassing
clerks got through with them it was found
that Campbell had gained eight votes, and
Do.y lost the same number. The latter
was given 26 by the tally-sheet, but the
correct number was Is, and Campbell's 80
were raised 10 90.
According 10 the figures kept by Camp
bells friends, these changes left Doty only
four votes ahead, while the latter's friends
figure out lead of IA. The general i'm
preston is, however, even among the lat
ter, that the canvass of the returns will
show that Campbell has been elected.
THE COUNTY CLERK VOTE.
There were also some changes in the
Rhoads Hamilton votes. According to the
published returns from Folsom, Hamilton
lost 10 by the canvass, but actually gained
two over the tally-sheet returns.
In another precinct it was found that the
tally-sheets were poorly made out, and one
vote that seemed to belong to Rhoads was
given to Hamilton. The latter had 1873 to
his credit over Rhoads when the city can
vass was completed. This has been re-
duced by the country returns to 80, and
Rhoads claims that the precincts yet to be
canvassed will leave him more than 100
majority.
The printed returns from the twenty first
precinct gave Hamilton So votes, which
the tally-lists reduced to 90.
1t seems to be quite generally understood
that, in the event of his defeat Mr. Hamil-
ton will demand a recount of the ballots,
and should the returns show plurality
against Rhoads, no doubt he will call for a
recount

LincoIn,s Readiness.

We once heard the following story OF
"Old Abe" told by a neighbor Of his in
Springfield, ILL.,, where the martyr Presi-
dent used to practice law. 1t was in the
early days Of Lincoln's law practice, before
he was known outside of small circle at
his home. He was engaged to defend a
man in a charge of assault and battery.
The case was an aggravated one, one far
mer having pitched into another without
much provocation and given him a severe
beating. The case was clearly proven by
the testimony of neighbors who witnessed
the assault, and there seemed to be little
chance for the defendant to escape.
"Where did YOU say this fight oc-
curred?" asked Lincoln of the first wit
ness.
"In Bascom's meadaw"
"What was the size of the lott"
about forty acres, should say"
"Well," said Old Abe, with droll
twinkle in his eve, edo you think it was
much of fight for a forty-acre lot?"
The laugh which this unexpected query
brought from the jury made the affair
ridiculous, and the jury acquitted the de-

A Feud in Chinatown Which is Likely to
End Seriously.

Trouble is brewing in Chinatown.
Two of the societies are at outs and war
has been declared. Reinforcements for
each have been arriving daily from San
Francisco and the police are on the qui
vive for a rumpus. Pistol shots have been
heard with more or less frequency during
the past two or three nights, but SO far as
the police could learn nobody has as yet
been hurt. On Friday night, or rather
early on Saturday morning, seven
shots were fred in rapid succession
in the alley between Third and Fourth.

was in the neighborhood, and SAT- the
flash of the pistol. He declares, however,
that the shooter must have been praciicing,
as the shots were fired into the air and not at
anyone. There was more shooting last night,
but no trace of the shooter could be found.
Last night information was received at
the police station that carload of Chinese
highbinders were en- route to this city
from San Francisco on the Ore
gon express, and orders were issued
by the Chief to intercept them. A
telegram was sent down to the conductor
of the train to lock the car up, and large
force of officers was at the depot at 1885
this morning when the train arrived. IL

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.
A Correspondent Tells How He Saved
Several Lives.
From the s. F. Bulletin.

From the s. +. Bulletin.
Editor Bulletin: Now that considerable
number of cases of diphtheria have re-
Gently been reported, it behooves all vino
know of a certain remedy 10 make it
known, so that many precious lives may be
saved. Therefore | relate my experience ::
In 1876 l was in Oakland, and an entire
family of six children were down with the
disease; two of them died and two others
were given up and carried into an adjoin-
ing room to die, while the parents gave
their entire attention to the Others to try
and save them, when l dropped in upon
the afflicted family. They were in despair
and did not know what to do. / imme-
diately asked if they had any strong vine
gar in the house. and they said yes so
told them TO bring a quart or so and a
coffee pot with long spout Having pro-
cured these, got the vinegar to boil. and
then applied the spout OF the coffee pot
to the mouth of one of the children which
had been given up, so that it could inhale
the steam of the vinegar. The eff
feet was instantaneous, and the child,
q girl of seven years of age
grabbed the spout of the pot to prevent its
removal, as she got so much relief. In
about fifteen minutes she began to cough,
and in doing so all the diphtheria matter
and the child recovered. l applied the
same treatment to the others, with the
same results, and the parents were over
joyed when they saw their darlings saved.
also applied the same remedy on another
occasion shortly afterward when visiting a
family Oh Turk street, near Mason. The
doctor had given the case up and informed
the grief-stricken parents that he could do
no more, for the child-a bright girl of s
years was beyond human aid. l told them
to try the vinegar remedy, and they at once
did so. The next night | met the father
and he was exuberant in his professions
of thanks to me, who he said had saved
the life of his only child, as she was rap
idly recovering. The effect of the vinegar
steam upon her, as he described it. was
precisely tie same as in the former cases.
As it is perfectly harmless. it may be as
well for parents to try it, and they may
have reason to rejoice thereat.

To Get Rid of Ants.

l took about half saucer of molasses,
and to this added about tablespoonful
OF Paris green, and having stirred well,
placed one in the cellar-way and another
down-cellar, and any time for a week or
two, don't remember just how long, if
you went TO those saucers, you would see
the shelves nearly black with them coming
and going. We left them there until there
were no signs of any ants around them.
We never found one dead ant. and it has
been four years next month since | fed
them on molasses and Paris green; yet,
strange as it may seem, we never have seen
one in the house since l will say further
that our house is an old one, and had been
oyerrun with them for years. Care should
be taken to keep all eatables out of the
way. They disappeared from all parts of
the house before they did around the sau-
GERS. This has been my experience with
ants, and if they ever return, they will be
fed the same as before.-Maine Farmer.
