 Patrick Falsey in the Twelfth ward and Isaac F. Davis in the Third ward were the candidates who triumphantly carried off the aldermanio honors in the election of yes terday.
 Falsey's vote was 3e0. It amply demon- strated that the aFs'nse Fs dispassysd, by his friends before the contest ats' thos polls was not at all overdue or Exaggerated. His dem ocratic opponents in the. Twelfth did not make very enviable struggle against him. Marlowe boiled 16s ballots and, Molldy re- ceiyed but @ ballots. Charles Huntley, the republican candidate, boiled 134 votes, which was much smaller number than he should have received. The full republican vote was not brought out. The dismal day was probably one reason for this and lack of interest in the result was undoubtedly another. In the Third ward Isaac E.. Davis had no opponent The number of ballots cast in this ward was 351. Three of these were blank and S48 were inecribed with the name of Isaac F. Davis.

Ks What the Library Directors Call she Plans They Have Approved for she OasssAs of lhe Free Public Lib- YaRy DallaRn9-Coss of the Repairs. The plans which the library directors have chosen for the outside of the free public library building, arc called by them the "simple and inexpensive" plAna.- The old church structure will first of all have new slate roof. The heavy wooden orevices will be removed and refoored by crevices of gal vanized iron of tasteful design. The whole front of the structure will be chiseled down and smoothed till 1t presents 8 very comely appearance. Upon the square stone tower where the steeple formerly stood will be erected . square pyramidal structure some- thing oe the style of that which now adorns the front of Trinity church.
 There was at frst strong inclination to build showy and attractive new front to the building. This plan was abandoned, for in the future the library may need en- largiDg and when this is done, the most feasible way to build m addition upon the front reaching to the building line of the street.
 The entire repairs will cost about $20, 900. The price paid for the property was $75, 900. The total amount to be expended is SIC, ,000. The $25, ,000 expended for remodeling and the property itself leaves about 5000 in the hands of the treasurer for future expendi- turoe

 Rumors have been afioat in prominent circles in this city for two or three days of a big rail- road deal, the purport of which appears in the following press dispatch received last night:

The lease was eonsunmated, ,s4 the story goes, and 1t is to take effect immediately, the stockholders to rsceve div Starbuck of the Housatonic who was called up by telephone at his New York office by gentleman of this city conspicuous in railroad affairs, failed to eubstantiate the report, although he did not deny that such . Inoveswas among the possibilities, Vice President Reed was shown the dis patch last evening and informed COURIER l reporter that there was nothing in it-that 1t was absolutely without foundation-that the subject had not been talked of by the man. agemsnt of the Consolidated.
 Director E. Hayes Trowbridge of the Con- solidated, when shown the dispatch last evening, said also there is nothing in it. It was sheer nonsense. "No!" he asserted, ''there's nothing in it,"
 l Within the past year there have been some indications of offers or talk about such 6 deal as the above, but it is absurd to sup pose that the Consolidated would guarantee 10 per cent on the Housatonio securities.
