In Japan thousands are born and die
on boats without ever living on shore.
One of the most interesting features of
japanese life is the manner of living in
boats and junks. thousands of which

THE RESULT.

We have reelected Mayor Blake fol
the third term, and the City Marshal
but the balance of the Democratic city
ticket is defeated.
The Democratic vote was not out
and the general game of cut-throat
played by some leading Democrats, to-
gether with the opposition worked up
Systematically against the paving and
sewer Improvements, combined to
swamp the Democratic ticket.
Some of the Democratic Councilmen
were defeated on account of the City
Engineer. Some time since leading
Republicans and property owners clam
ored for City Engineer with nerve,
and a Democratic City Council ap
pointed the man of their choice-a Re
publican. The Few grade of North
Market street lost the Democrats two
hundred votes. The order of American
Mechanics also took hand in the con-
test, on account of there being so many
Catholics on the Democratic ticket; and
besides this, a liberal supply of Doodle
in the hands of the Republican mana
gers, aided in the defeat.
The fierce contest over the head of
the ticket in the primaries, doubtless
dampened the ardor of the friends of
the defeated candidates, and many
Democrats staid away from the polls
altogether.
There are many other things that
might be said, but this is enough at
this time.
All the causes that produced the re-
suit were local, and the great moving
cause was the increased taxation on
account of the new paving and sewer
age of the city.
The popular verdict appears to be
that it must stop.
The Republicans will now assume
the sole responsibility for the future,
in both the executive and legislative
branches of the city government.
We are not feeling exceedingly hilar-
ious over it, but we take our share of
the defeat with serene composure.
Having no political responsibility we
will have more space for news and will
be enabled to priut better newspaper.
Let us all be cheerful, IN the hope,
that we shall have city paved like the
streets of.the New Jerusalem, and not
cost any property holder a cent.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Rendered by Judge Taylor In Court
Room No. q.
The Bowen and Karp Case Decided In
Favor Of the Bowen Bros--At~ ell
Against Goats Decided in Favor Of the
Plaintiff.

Judge Taylor arrived In the city this
morning and rendered decisions In two
cases which have long occupied the atten-
ton OF the courts, and have been watched
with much interest by the legal fraternity.
The first case decided was the case OF
Ennekiug q Co. against Bowen q Narp
ct al. This action was brought by Enne-
king d Co and other creditors OF Bowen
& Karp to set aside several conveyances
of certain properties claimed to have been
made by Bowen & Karp 70 Geo. d., Harry
and Charles Bowen, sons OF Henry Bow-
en-, one of the firm Of Bowen & Karp, and
to Joseph e. Karp, son Of Joseph Karp,
the other member of the firm. The
creditors claimed that the conveyances
were made fraudulently and in fraud to
their rights as creditors, by Bowen d harp
to their respective sons. On the other
hand the sons claimed that the convey
ances we're made in payment to them for
services rendered the firm OF Bowen d
KaIp. The court held that after a full
hearing, the testimony showed that the
claim as made by the sons was supported,
and that there was no evidence OF fraud
or collusion between Bowen q Karp and
their sons and therefore refused to set
the conveyances aside, but held them to
be good and valid conveyances.
The second decision rendered was in
the case of John Atwell VS. A. w. Coates
aud wife. This suit was brought to for
close mortgage given several years ago
to John Atwell, to secure the payment of
four notes, together amounting to S16,50O,
with interest from 1884. Also to forecose
a mortgage given to secure the payment
of a note for s., 900, given by A. W Coates
several years ago to Henry G. Ellison and
afterwards purchased by the Alliance
Banking Co. Coates filed an answer
claiming payment of usurious interest on
all the foregoing notes, also claiming TO
have transferred to the Alliance Banking
company several patches of rakes amount.
ing to several thousands of dollars. The
court held that these notes did contain
some usurious interest and also held that
q credit should be allowed Coates for
rakes turned over to the account of John
Atwell and the Alliance Banking COM
panny, but not to the extent as claimed
by Coates. The court rendered decree
for John Atwell and the Bank Co. for
several thousand dollars and for the sale
of the mortgaged property. Baldwin and
Shields also appeared for the plaintiff in
this case.
This afternoon in court room No. 2,
Judge Taylor overruled demurrer In the
case of Catherine Monnot VS. D. Ostroph.
In passing upon the Bowen d Karp case
this morning Judge Taylor stated that no
evidence had been brought forth to show
that there was any concealment in the
matter of conveyances. "Both Bowen d
Karp,n he said, shave impressed me as
being honest and upright men, and it does
not lie in me to disturb the sons in their
rights to the property in question"

The Democracy of this city was victo-
rieus in the superlative degree yesterday,
and grand showing was made at the
polls. The vote was comparatively heavy
and Republicans worked with desperate
energy to retain their hold on municipal
affairs. Thomas Hagan, Democrat, was
elected Marshal over Adam Vending,
the present Marshal, by the small margin
of three votes. 1t was victory, however,
and the Democrats are proud of the
achievement. For Street Commissioner,
VIM. Yogt, Democrat, was elected by a
plurality of two votes. Kirchoffer, for
City Treasurer, ran like quarter-horse,
and piled up plurality Of 60 votes over
his strong Republican competitor. The
Democrats also elect two out of four
Councilmen. 1t was great victory and
the Democrats are jubilant over the sue
cess of their standard bearers. The First
ward went Democratic for the first time in
twenty years.
