The City Election.

Inc election yesterday was a very quiet
affair, attended with no excitement and CON-
paratively little interest, due largely to the
fact that Mayor Melcher's reelection was
foregone conclusion. The total vote thrown
showed falling off from last year, attribu-
table partly to the bad weather and partly to
the lack Of interest. Last year the total
vote was 6031; this year $3.50, loss of 675.
The Republican vote for mayor shows a
much larger falling off than the Democratic,
as will be seen by the following:

HOW TO BEAT THE RACES.
An AllsEhenian's Winning Combination
Welsh Rnrebit and Dreams.

An Alleghenian's Winning Combination Of
Welsh Rnrebit md Dreams.
A well-known Alleghenian has become .
firm believer in dreams. In the Office in
which he spends his business hours are
several sporting enthusiasts. who, for several
weeks past have been earnestly discussing the
merits Of the horses entered in the Brooklyn
Handicap. On Monday night the young
man took light lunch Of Welsh rarebit,
and then went to bed. Strange to say, he
dreamed dream. He thought he was on
an ocean vessel which was overtaken by q
storm, the ship was wrecked, and after
several hours of suspense, he finally found
himself the sole survivor Of passengers and
crew, and cast away on desert island. The
dream was very vivid and impressed the
young man. The next night he ate another
Welsh rarebit or lunch, and the vision was
repeated, and he was again shipwrecked and
cast away.
The Alleghenian mentioned his dream to
his fellow employees and they were at once
struck by coincidence. The dreamer had
been cast away twice, and Castaway II was
short horse in the Brooklyn Handicap.
The young man, although not q betting
man, finally determined to back his dream
for $40 at Is to 1, Castaway II, surprised
the knowing ones and won the race, and the
dreamer was ahead $3.50.
The moral of this story Is: If you want
to beat the races you must 70 to sleep on

He was dusty and tired-looking when he
entered the Central station last night in
search of lodging. His clothing was
soiled and torn and it would be base fattery
to say he had a disreputable appearance.
He bowed humbly and yet with an air of
dignity to Inspector McAleese as he made
known his errand.
When questioned as to his profession the
stranger told a tale which shows how diff
cult it is for some classes of labor to obtain
steady and renumerative employment. He
said: Gentlemen, have been playing in
very hard luck for over nine years, and
have been unable to obtain an engagement,

maded the Inspector, while a dozen more
police officials crowded around to hear the
answer.
"a few days ago." calmly proceeded the
stranger, ''the clouds of night began to

A PLOT FOR A PLAY.
Dramatic Reunion of Two Brothers
Who Hadn't Met for 2S Years.
BROUGHT ABOUT BY A BLOTTER'
A Remarkable Scene Witnessed In the
Postofice Yesterday.
THE EVENT NOW BEING CELEBRATED

The postoffice corridor has witnessed many
q curious scene, but none stranger than one
which was yesterday enacted within its
walls.
Most G. A. R. men and many civilians
know George T. Luttrell, Of Allegheny.
Although born in Raleigh, s. G., Mr..
Luttrell followed the fortunes Of the
North during the war, and lost
his right arm on the field of
Antietam. He now resides in the West
End with his son-in-law, E. L. Evans, the
wellknown grocer, and being in comfort
able circumstances, is enabled to spend his
later days peacefully.
Yesterday afternoon the stalwart veteran
strolled into the postofice, which happened
to be full OF people, and proceeded to write
q note, with his remaining arm, at one of
the desks. While thus engaged, he noticed
behind him tall, swarthy man, whose long,
black mustache and slouched hat had
something Of Southern air. This person
seemed very anxious to succeed Mr.. Luttrell
at the desk, all the other places being taken
up.
MET AFTER MANY YEARS.
When the old soldier had carefully
blotted, enveloped and directed his letter,
he turned away. Then the man with the
big hat squared up at the desk. Scarcely
had he done 50 than he turned sharply
round and gave the departing veteran a
mighty thump between the shoulders.
II reckon your names Luttrell?" he e1-
claimed
Mr.. Luttrell looked at tine excitable
speaker Tor a moment, and then, with q
Renaissance of his boyhood's home, an
swered, 81 reckon it is"
sos mine," said the stranger, "and
blank blank it, thought I was the only
one of the name left in America"
He then took card from his pocket and
presented it to his new acquaintance. The
card read:
ALAN c. LUTTRELL,
Birmingham, Ala.
Now it was Mr.. George Luttrell's turn
to cry out. "Alan LuttrellP" he cried.
''That was the name OF my father and
brother. am George T. Luttrell-"
my Godp the Southerner exclaimed.
"Were you born In South Carolina?"
Of course, the old soldier was born there,
and OF course this was his brother, whom
he had not met since the war broke up their
happy home in Raleigh, and set them on
different sides Of the great fight.
A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
It was like the windup Of melodrama to
see the two old fellows shake hands and call
each other brother once again. They kept up
the hand shaking as long that spectators got
interested, and then, in stentorian tones, the
Southern brother told the story of the
% years parting and the strange
reunion. "I never saw him since before the
war, SIR" he said. "until this blanked bit
of blotting paper"-here he held up the pa
per on which the veteran had blotted his
letter-"told me that his name was Luttrell.
And from that we found out the rest. I'll
keep that paper till die"
And then the two old boys trotted out to
celebrate the great event in a stiff jorum.
