There were ieybcases OF prostration re.
ported. Charles Taylor, a young man
employed at Bloch Bros. tobacc factory,
was overcome by the hea. on a street
car on Main street rear Tenth. He was
assisted 10 Logan's drug store, and DR..
Ulrich administered res.oratives. He
was very sick, but his brother put him
on the street car and got him home.
William Kraft, WHO lives at McCof.
Loeb and Fortieth streets, was also over.
come by the heat and was for time in
a serious way, but & physician was called
and last evening he was reported resting
as easily as could be expected.
The men In the iron mills nearly all
knocked of on account OF the heat.
Work was begun on the excavation
for the eastern pier Of the bridge from
the city to the Island, but in the middle
Of the afternoon the men were com.
PEELED to knock of. The workmen on
the Back river piers also had to stop.
Toward evening the sky clouded up
with every appearance OF another storm.
The clouds rose above the western
horizon, leaving clear space, which
later filled up with tleecy clouds, on
which the sun shone, giving them the
sheen OF pearls. Then they Redeemed,
and in turn took on almost every con-
celvable tint. The rosy glow spread IN.
til it suliused the whole sky to the east
ern bills. This was not the mere
effect Of sunshine on the
clouds, for the Gun could not
reach them. It was IN electrical effect,
and as the darkness deepened the hue
heightened to fiery glow. This gave
way to silent lightning, and at midnight
the stats were shining steadily except
in the west, where an onimoua bank Of
clouds gathered; yet all over the zenith
blue lightning played. To an observant
watcher the succeeding phenomena we're
interesting, and to the most casual Oh.
server they were beautiful.

There Is Some Talk OF Contesting the
Election.
The official count has been made, and
Thomas Carroll, the democratic candi-
date for congress, has defeated John l..
Wilson in this county by 30l votes
The count was begun Saturday morn

night.
The fight on county commissioners
was the closest, and resulted in the
defeat of two republicans, Arthur alone
OF the three being elected, with a scant
two majority. Fender was beaten by Is
votes and Anderson by SS votes.
Pugh, the republican candidate for
sheriff, is elected by plurality of 296
votes.
1t has been impossible to correctly
estimate the labor vote, as the returns OF
many of the precincts made no distinc.

votes in the cases of candidates Endorsed

There is considerable talk of contest

WEST POINT ACADEMY
Recommendations of Colonel
Wilson.
ADVANTAGE OF JUNE CADETS
Bad Condition of Field, Seacoast
and Siege Artillery Equip
ments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Colonel Will
son, superintendent Of West Point Mill
tary Academy, in his annual report,
says there were 29i cadets at the acad-
emy September 1, 1880 Since that date
the loss has been eight by resignation,
twenty-five by discharge, two by death
and ilty-four by graduation. There has
been eighty-ono admitted new cadets,
making the total $50 four of whom were
admitted September 1, 1890.
Colonel Wilson makes point of the
disadvantage under which candidates
who enter in September are placed from
lack OF drill and instruction, which their
more fortunate classmates have acquired
during the summer encampments. lie
earnestly urges, except under extraordi-
nary circumstances, that no further
September appointing be made, and
June candidates be notified sufficient
time in advance of reporting to permit
HIM to prepare for examination.
The condition OF the corps of cadets,
as regards drill, discipline and instruc-
ton, has been excelled during the year.
The health of the command is less
favorable than ussal and upon examina-
tion 1t was found necessary to recon-
mend extensive Improvements and
sewerage and plumbing.
In view of the limited period allowed
for field artillery drill it is urgently
recommended that another battery o
new 3 2.io inch field guns be supplied tC
the academy. Sea coast and siege bat
teres are also reported to be in bad con,
dition, and three guns burst during tn,
year. fortunately without serious
results. Those supplied in their places
are old guns used during the rebellion
and the superintendent says 1t wOulC
be criminal ON his part to endanger tht
lives OF the cadets by practicing witt
these obsolete pieces, and he recon-
mends that new 5-inch breech loading
steel guns he furnished. Ho says that
battery instruction should be place.
upon an independent footing, and htty
horses and thirty artillery men shoulC
| De furnished.
