SOME GRAVE FAULrs.

While tho new election law possesses
many decided advantages, 1t also has
some grave faults. In spitc of all the
safeguards thrown around the voter
and the explicit instructions given for
his guidance. an astonishing number of
mistakes were made Tuesday, and
nearly $50 ballots were thrown out for
the reason that they were defective.

fully established series OF
very important conclusions, some
OF whsvh 20 far toward revolatsoaizinx
TIE laval position OF the world. Tas
first and most important Of these
was the proof that the compound
plates largely used In the construction
ot British aFmered vessels are the
most deficient OF all modern armor.
As this proves considerable share
OF Engleaa's aruaored vessels 20 be
iaefficientiy protected. IL raises a
doubt whether IN the test OF actual
warfare her naval supremacy might
not turn out less oyerpowering than
ts generally estimated. The superi.
GRITTY OF all steel plates TO the Cam
NELL compound having been shown,
a. was proved that the alloy OF the
steel by per cent. OF nickel gives the
metal q sllght malleab.lIty. witch
diminished the tendency TO crack.
Finally. some tests were intended TO
show the relative values OF high car
bonixatson and low carbonixation. as
well as TO compare the resisting
power OF American made plates with
the foreign ones previously tested. On
the latter point the test was especi-
ally gratifying. The plates made by
the American factories showed resist
ing power fully equal. II not superior,
TO the best armor OF foreign max. As
TO carbonizat- the test, while per-
haps not fully conclusive, was strong
ly in favor OF the high carbon plates,
which have a much greater resisting
power, though the low carbon steel
has less tendency TO crack. Another
point seems TO be established by the
tests, which should not be overlooked
That is that the best plates now
made can be penetrated by high power
projectlles at close range. AS this
makes absolute protection by the
weight OF armor that can be carried
by sea-going battle ships a difficult. II
not impossible task. 1t suggests the
superiority which can be given to
coast and harbor defenders, and the
wisdom Of the pol.cy which shapes
naval expenditure with . view to
defense.

HELD BACK A MONTH.

Councils Not Likely to Consider the Appro-
priation Ordinance Before the Middle
of March-Supreme Court Decisions the
Cause-Schemes to Avoid Entanglements
The appropriation ordinance will. in all
probability, not be presented to Councils
before the middle of March, although last
year the ordinance was before Councils by the
middle of February.
This year there is multitude of reasons for
keeping it back The recent and much
lamented Supreme Court decision on the street
act was cited yesterday by Chief Bigelow as
the greatest cause of delay. The hopes of all
the city officials are pinned on curative legisla
tion to take care of the 81 500 900 of debt which
the city is now asked to assume Although there
is not much doubt thar all the money spent for
new street improvements will be paid by the
owners of the property fronting thereon, but
In order to provide against any further sur
prises from the Supreme Bench, it is considered
advisable not to pass an appropriation ordi-
nance until curative legislation has been passed
and tested before the higher court. By this
method it will be known what deficit, if any,
will have to be made up by the city. In order
to make everything perfectly clear and avoid
all danger Of future entanglements. it may be
possible that the ordinance will be withheld
until the new street bill. to take the place of
the deceased acts of 1887 and 1859. Is passed
Mr.. Bigelow said yesterday that the new
street bill would probably not be completed for
which would be used in case no better one
could be made.
1t is also understood that Mr. Finn is still
offering flyers" in the Senate in order to hold
places on the calendar. Three different street
bills will be offered SO that If two of them are
lost the city will still be able to fall back the
third in which the features deemed objection
able will be eliminated.

ALL THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

In the Criminal Court yesterday William
Black, Mary Bottomly, Thomas Wiley and
William Dearie were tried for violating q
sepulcher, and stealing coffin containing
the body of Mrs. Robert E. Actor, the sister
OF Mary Bottomly, one of the defendants.
Mrs. Actor was buried in Mt. Vernon
Cemetery at Boston, hamlet on the Yough-
iogheny river, some two years ago. The Sis
ter wished the body to be inferred in the
cemetery at McKeesport, and wrote her
brother-In-law, the husband Of Mrs. Actor,
to that effect. He, however, refused to COM
ply with her desire and, after making the
request second time, and getting no reply. she
notified him she would have the body removed.
Accordingly, she secured the services of an
undertaken, and, together with her relatives,
had the body taken out OF the grave. with the
consent OF the cemetery authorities, and re-
inferred in the cemetery at McKeesport.
The husband then brought suit for larceny of
the casket, as well as violation of the act pro-
hibiting the removal of bodies from cemeteries.
After hearing the evidence, Judge Stowe, in
his charge to the jury. said the defendants
could not be said to have violated the cemetery
act. as il relates only to cases where secrecy
and surreptition is practiced. and in this case
such did not appear, but on the other hand, the
of larceny was likewise faulty in that the prin-
cipal defendants had a partial right and owner
ship In the premises. The Judge intimated,
however, that the case was not so much one for
said the verdict would not debar an action
there.
The jury found verdict of not guilty, but
put the costs on the defendants.
