ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC SCHEME.

How 1t IL Hopes to Disfranchise Repub-

limit allowed by the election law. is start
ling information, but not exactly in the
nature of q surprise. When the precinct
ordinance, supplementary to the Sullivan
Coy g~errymander. passed the Council, a
Journal reporter was informed by . Demo
crat, who claimed to know what he was
talking about. that in this ordinance was
concealed one of the dirtiest partisan
schemes ever concocted to carry an eiec,
the precincts in the Republican wards
contained more than their quota
of voters. so that it would be impossible
for them to get in their full vote. Being
posted upon the scheme. the Democrats
would have their voters on hand early and
get their vote in. As the voting by the
new method requires considerable time.
many Republican votes would be left IN
cast for want of time. The Democrat who
gave the information claimed to have 1t
from headquarters and said Mayor Sulll-
a was cognizant of the scheme.
There was no way of proving whether or
not the the assertion was true except by
taking a poll, and as the Journal could not
substantlate the charge without going to
that expense. il did not make 1t. The
showing of precinct thirteen, however.
is the first direct proof of the existence OF
such a scheme, and doubtless as the poll
proceeds plenty more will turn up.

of course, would pay, and the minister blessed her in turn. Then Blatchford insisted on old Mrs. Spiclzlcr subscrib- ing to the fund at his expense, and she received blessing likewise.
 "This is truly a Christian family, "the minister said with much junction, land their reward will be great in the next world. May the Lord reward and bless them according to their deserts"
 This prayer also would be answered in time, for the day was coming. and even then was not far off, in which the Blatchfords would receive the reward of their acts, and be blessed according to their deserts. It was coming, as surely as just retribution ever comes to those who make way for it. And that reward would not be in accordance with Rev. Wheedler's prayer and wishes, but in accordance with Gods unerring law of right.
 The meeting of the Christian Aid Society" at last adjourned, smilingly satisfied with its work; and the mem bers were about to depart from Blatch- ford's parlors fsr their various homes when it was discovered that Sister Gooding, who was then present, had not subscribed to the aid fund. Rev. Wheedler promptly called the at tention of the members to this fact by saying:
 ''IIere is an important omission in our good work. Sister Gooding's name is not on our list oi givers at all. This must not be, and the sister must sub- scribe. Sister Gooding, you have un-

After little further conversation of this kind in which each tried to con- vince himself or herself that he or she was walking in the marrow way" the meeting at last broke up and Blatchford and his wife were left alone in the parlor, where for some time they remained silent. Finally Blatchford spoke. He said:
 "The words of that woman have dis turbed me, Sarah, and feel that am to great extent responsible for the sufferings of many of those poor pco- pie out there in Kansas. 1 might have been more lenient with them and saved them the loss of so much money in that Paradise Park boom. Suppose Mary should be suffering at some other persons hands what my victims are suffering at mine?"
 "Now, Hiram," said Sarah, that is just your way. You allow your heart and feelings to accuse you of some great wrong, when you know you are not guilty of any. As business man you have only done what you ought to do, and you have been benefactor to those poor people. You have let them have money when they could not have gotten it anywhere else, and that was a great accommodation, I'm sure. You are not responsible for the seasons and the failures of crops, and all that, and you have no right to let your generous heart accuse yon. You are too con- Scientious, Hiram, for business man that you are.''
 These words had the effect on Hiram that the willy Sarah knew they would, and instantly he began to feel quite fond of himself and would have liked to hug himself to his own bosom. He chirllcd up at once, and thought that he had really rendered those poor unfortu- nate victims of his great and lasting service by loaning them money at rate of interest they could never pay.
 ''As for your daughter" continued Sarah, "when she wants your aid, or sympathy, even, she will let you know. Remember, she went away from you of her own accord, and it is wrong for you to gricve your honest soul on her ac- count. You have performed glorious part toward the church to-day, Hiram, and you must not let the happiness fol lowing that deed be cloudcd by such foolish regrets
 And he did not for any great while.

TWO KILLED, THREE 1NJURED.
A Train Runs Down Five Track Walkers
 in a Tunnel.

in a Tunnel.
 BALTIMORE, Oct. 8.-A tragic accident occurred in the Union tunnel on the Pennsylvania Railroad yesterda ay after noon, in which two men were killed outright and three injured, all probably fatally.
 The victims were track-walkers who were at work at the time in the tunnel directly under the bed of Argyle avenue. The men heard a Vest ern Maryland Railroad train approach ing and stepped from the track which they thought it would take to tn e other track on the opposite side of the tunnel
 At this point in the tunnel there is a sharp curve, and the men could neither see the train nor be seen by the train hands until the locomotive was within a few yards of them. When the train rounded the curve the men saw that it was on the same track they were stand ing on. There was rush to escape, but it was too late. The train sped by, leav- ing them mangled and bleeding on the ground.
 The killed are: Thomas Hughes, aged 45 years, unmarried; Julius Miller, aged 20 years, unmarried.
 The wounded are: Fred Cappells, John Zink and Henry Coleman.

 The girl was firm in her refusal to lis ten to it, whereupon Entwistle drew a revolver and fired three shots in rapid succession at her. Two of the bullets took effect, one in the right lung and the other in the thigh.
 The girl will probably die from in ternal bleeding. Entwist tie is respecta- ply connected but of unsteady habits.

ABERDEEN, Sept. 10, 1891.


EDITOR HERALD will you permit me
to express my appreciation of and graft
tude for the kindly courtesy with which
my few remarks were received at the re-
cent mass meeting?
A harder task / have never set for my
self than that OF entering the hall upon
that evening. l believed the meeting
was the result OF the Vaccination OF men
who, in my opinion, are personally inter-
ested in creating false opinions of my
husband, and though full of desire to
defend him in his absence, felt bitterly
the risk might be inc=rring. Only my
perfect faith in the magnanimity and
true courtesy of the gentlemen OF this
great fee nation, and nv knowledge that
we had done nothing to merit the dis
approval OF any honest man, could have
lent me the needed courage. / was much
wrought up while there by what, to me,
seemed determination to misstate facts ;
but upon cooler after-thought l see how
pardonable this was-the average man
seldom being able to resist temptation
beyond certain degree. l can excuse
Mr.. Cochran for his incendiary remarks,
for knew the council had already given
him $3.50, and that his being permanently
retained depended very much upon his
conduct at that meeting. | can appre-
ciate the hopes which spurred the other
LAWYERS to like course; but for the re-
marks of Hagerty, can find no excuse
save that they were characteristic OF the
shriveled little soul which animates him
and lent its sickly glimmer to his grim
ming, gloating countenance.
Bear with me, please, while | put the
following question. | am quoted by the
Bulletin thus, "That body wanted to
steal the water and land from us as they
had done the Streets: Did anyone
present, except Hagerty, hear such words
escape my lips? / was not conscious of
having entertained such a thought, for
they have stolen nothing from us, no. is
it likely they shall. My thought, and
what l wished to impress upon my
hearers, was that they had prosecuted
and embarrassed us in the matter of
selecting streets, and in every possible
manner, and / wish to make it potent
now that it is my belief all this has been
