SOME FIGURES.

The vote in this city on the presl-
tial electors stood: Republican oO7,
Democrat TAG, Peoples party 81, Pro-
hibition II. This shows a Repub-
lican plurality of SO.
On governor the Democratic plural
ity was II. Prof. McCleary had plu-
rality of 10.
The total vote in the city on presl'
Dental electors was 1893, and in the
county 1896.
Four years ago the vote in this city
on presidential electors was 2Ol1, and
in the county GAIL. The falling of this
year must be attributed to the new
election system. It's strangeness and
the sensitivenesS of many people In re-
gard to making mistakes caused hun
dreds to remain away from the polls
Compared with two years ago, the
vote in the county on governor was as

HUMANE SOCIETY.
A Bridge Built by Red Ants.

The following remarkable story,
told by an eyewitness, is entitled
to a place among the instances of
intelligence among the lower ami
mails. A cook was much annoyed
to find his pastry shelves attacked
by ants. BY careful watching ii
was discovered that they came out
twice day in search of food-at
about seven in the morning and
four in the afternoon. How were
the pies to be protected against the
invaders? One morning he drew
a circle of molasses on the shelf
around each pie, and sat down to
watch.
He did not have long to wait, for
at sos o'clock he noticed that off in
the left-hand corner of the pantry
was a line of ants slowly making
their way in the direction of the
pies. They seemed like a vast ar
my coming forth to attack the en-
envy. In front was leader. who
was larger than any of the others,
and who always kept little ahead
of his troops. They were of the
sort known as Ne medium-sized red
ant, whichAsr erded as the moss
intelligent ofyAkind. About forty
ants out of aW H6Aared stepped
out and Joined the leader. The gen
eral and his aids held n council and
then preceded to examine the cir.
Gle of molasses. Certain portions
of it seemed to be assigned to the
different ants, and each selected I'M
erringly the point in the section I'M
der his charge where the stream of
molasses was arrowest. Then the
leader made his tour of inspection
The order to march was given, and
the ants all made their way to a
hole in the wall in which the plas-
tering was loose. Here. they broke
rank and set about carrying pieces
of plaster to the place in the molas
ses which had been agreed upon a:
the narrowest. To and fro they
went from the nail-hote to the mo
lasses until, at 80 o'clock, they
had thrown a bridge across. The,
then formed themselves in line an(
marched over, and by 1l:55 every
ant was eating pie.-Chicago Trib

John Ellis, Crazed by Detective
Stories, Placed in the Asylum. >.
WANTED TO KILL ApRETTYN NURSE.
lie Claims to Be on the Trail of Notorious
Train Robber.
RELATED TO THE FAMOUS JACK RAMSAY

Inspector Eichenlaub, of the Allegheny
Department Of Public Charities, yesterday
afternoon took John Ellis, the demented
young man who has been confined in a
padded cell at the Allegheny General Hos
pital for the past three days, to Di1mont
Ellis, who was crazed by reading detective
stories, imagines that he is a great detective
and that the hospital authorities tried to
thwart him in his search for notorious
train robber, whom he thinks is hiding
somewhere in this section. He became ex-
tremely violent yesterday morning and in
his rage tore the pads entirely off one side
of his cell and raved and fought with i'm
aginary enemies with all the fury of
demon. The hospital authorities could do
nothing with him. and they asked the De-
partment of Public Charities to have him
sent to Dixmont.
Ellis got it into his head that Inspector
Eichenlaub was famous detective, and will
ingly went along with him yesterday. On
fdential. He evidently came from West
moreland county, for he is well informed as
to the location of all the towns in that
county, and knows great many people in
Greensburg. He says that his grandmother,
Mrs. Sarah Ramsay, lives at Latrobe with
her daughter, and that he is a cousin of
Jack Ramsay, one of the members of the
notorious Cooley gang, who is now in the
Fayette County Jail awaiting trial. He
also says that his father lives in Export, a
small town near Jeanette, and that he is a
coal miner by trade.
Ellis cut some queer capers while at the
Allegheny General Hospital He seems to
despise women and especially young ladies.
One of the nurses went to his cell door on
Friday night to give him some food, and he
asked her to give him his brace of pistols.
"What do you want with pistols?" asked
the nurse.
4 "To kill you WITH" Ellis replied. ''You
are the woman who is the accomplice of the
train robber am shadowing, and you are
trying to put ME off his track. If put you
out OF the way, 1 shall have no trouble in
capturing him." He then poured forth
TRADE OF abuse against her, and tore around
his cell like wild beast.
Chief Grubbs, of the Allegheny Depart
ment of Public Charities, said yesterday
that he had telegraphed to the county
authorities of Westmoreland, asking
whether Ellis belonged to that county, but
has not yet received reply.

THE COMET DUE TONIGHT.

Wise Men Are Squabbling Over the Visit
ors Parentage.
The long-looked-for comet is due between
9 and 10 o'clock night, and astronomers big
and little are expecting a great treat. This
visitor, which is SO soon to arrive, has not
been christened yet The wise men are
still squabbling over its parentage, but it
will probably go down in history as Holmes
comet. Great efforts are being put forward
to prove that it is one OF the Biela system.
There is still reasonable doubt
Prof Very, of the Allegheny Observatory,
has been close observer of this unnamed
expected visitor. He says it has become
hazy in appearance and indefinite in shape.
This makes it difficult to determine its GEN.
ter or head. During the last two or three
nights the comet has increased in size, but
faded in luminosity. This is credited to the
fact that it is approaching the earth, and the
haziness is accounted for on the principle
that faint object is more distinct great
distance. Meteoric showers are expected
to follow in the wake of the comet

One Man Is Run Over by Fire Engine and
May Die.
Last evening the heat from the Office
stove in Bulger & Wilbert's produce house,
at 706 Liberty street, set FIRE to a lot of
paper The flames communicated to the
floor and desk, and broke out into quite a
little confagrntion., When the engines ar

dow. A stream from one of the chemical
engines soon subdued it. Damage to the
extent of some $500 was done to the build
ing, which is owned by 7. and j. McCance,
and is insured.
While responding to the alarm the hose
reel of No. Company struck and knocked
down Fred Fullerton, an Allegheny citi-

of which were broken. The accident oc-

VOTED TO STAND GUT,
The Lawrenceville Strikers Decide to Not
Declare the Strike Of.

The LawrencevilIe Strikers Decide to Not
Declare the Strike Of.
The strikers at the Upper and Lower
Union Mills of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany held another stormy meeting yester-
day morning. The committee appointed to
see what terms could be secured from the
company should they all decide to declare
off the strike and return to work, reported
they all want to return in a body, and
should the company consent to this, the
strike would soon end and no questions
would be asked. The meeting was secret
and was we'll attended by the men, fully
two-thirds of the strikers being present
The Chairman had considerable difficulty in
keeping order.
There is now q considerable number who
want to get released so as to get back their
old positions without being desertera For
this reason they want the strike declared
off. After about four hours of discussion a
vote was taken. The result showed that 120
wanted to continue the strike and 43 wanted
to declare off the strike. The men ad-
iourned to meet again Monday. The strik-
ers still receive benefits from the Anal
gamated Association, and feel that some
thing will still turn up to allow them some
advantage.
