Discarded India Rubber Utilized.

1t is matter of common knowledge
that india rubber goods even of the
highest quality are perishable. Although
not subject to any great wear and tear
the time comes when the rubber loses
its elasticity and becomes soft and rot
ten. Hitherto such persisted rubber has
represented waste material for which
no use could be found, but by process
recently invented the persisted rubber
can be made, it is said, once more serv-
iceable.
By incorporating the waste rubber
with certain hydrocarbons and with a
proportion of Trinidad asphalt, by add
ing to the mixture certain vegetable oils
and submitting the product to heat,
there is produced a substance to which
the name of "blandyte" has been given
1t can be made hard and dense or soft
and pliable by modifying certain parts
of the process, and it seems to be appli-
cable to most of the various purposes
for which pure rubber is used.-St. Louis

psign is the tariff and up to few days
ago none of the parties in the field have
put forth any special efforts, but the
attempted fusion OF the Democrats with

caused Republicans to exert themselves
to bring out full vote. Republicans
claim they will have plurality OF at

Few YORK, Nov. 5.-[Associated
FTess.l The presidential election Of
1892 is unique in being the first since
the war in which 80 many doubtful
states arc admittedly at issue between
the great political parties. The advent
of the Peoples Party into National
politics has constituted great element
Of doubt in the present contest. The
doubtful states are Alabama, Colorado.
Kansas, Nevada, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and
idaho. To the list are added the old
time doubtful states, New York, In
diana, New Jersey, Connecticut, Mon
tana and West Virginia.
The presidential college this year will
consist Of 444 members. The states ad-
United to be Democratic are the follow
ing: Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Michigan, Missouri, North Caro-
Ina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia,
with q total Of AZ electoral votee. The
states admitted to be Republican are
California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Mass
achusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire Pennsylvania, Ohio, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Washington and Wis
consin, total l72. The fifteen doubtful
states enumerated at the beginning will
cast an electoral vote OF 1875.
Nevada with her three electoral votes
is practically conceded to the Peoples
Party. OF the doubtful states, Demo.
Gratis make the loudest claims to Alaba-
ma, New Jersey and West Virginia,
swelling the total to IA Republicans
express the greatest confidence in carry
ing Colorado, South Dakota, Idaho and
Nebraska, which would swell their total

old parties and conceding Nevada
to Weaver, the very doubtful
states remain New York, Indiana,
Connecticut, North Dakota, Wyoming
and Montana. These states have total
Of seyenty-six votes, and of these sew
sniy-six votes the Democrats must gain
torty-nine In order to succeed, and the
Republicans must secure thirty-two.
While on these figures the Republicans
appear to have the advantage, this pre-
sumption is not borne out when it is
remembered that the carrying Of Kan

Peoples party would inure to Demo-

lection is insignificant when compared
with the Democratic vote which he
commands. His majority will reach
275, and Cluff will come within twenty
five votes OF this figure. Under ordinary
circumstances Norris would poll good
vote, but he is extremely unpopular in
this section, owing to his antagonism OF
home interests, and will fall far short

FAST OYSTER OPENERS.
wcrkmor I'm New York City who Take
Oysters Out of Their Shells.

wcrkmon In New York City Who Take
Oysters Out of Their Shells.
The crack oyster openers of New York
can easily hold their own against the
rest of the world as lightning opera
tors" as they are called.
One Of the veterans is Dick Balmer,
who has opened 1900 oysters in day Of
twelve hours, and be can now average
$500 in day of twelve or thirteen
hours work
Mike Foley, who may well be termed
lightning operator, and is now in his
tifties, has opened as many as $500
oysters in one day and on ordinary days.
if he pushes himself, he can easily get
away with 5000 oysters. OF course the
oysters opened are large and small, just
as they come, as if they were all small
and round the opening could be done
much more rapidly.
John Lahey is good for an average of
5000 day, and so is an opener known
among the oystermen as deaf George"
In trial of speed in opening 500 oysters
John Lahey probably cannot be beaten.
To open oysters rapidly Of course re-
quires a great deal of experience in
handling them, but there also seems to
be a knack about it that every oyster
man cannot acquire. Some men, for in
stance, can only open 1000 oysters day
and they will not go much above that
after years Of work in this line.
The twenty-seven men employed by
Alex Frazer on the North river will
average 5000 oysters day, which is a
much higher average than is reached by
the majority Of the crews around New
York. These men also can turn out,
when required, 10000 oysters day in
all, which is $1,000 oysters above the
average Of 5000 man. There are very
few oyster scows in the market can
equal this average from week to week.
1t must also be considered that on some
days work begins at o'clock in the
morning and on others at or o'clock.
There was an oyster opening match
about a year ago between Mike Foley
and Jack Gillon. The match was to de-
eide which man was the quicker at
opening 1000 oysters. Gillon won in
81 minutes, beating his opponent by only
seven oysters. Foley has opened IL 200
oysters at one sitting.
Dick Balmer has appeared in sixteen
oyster opening matches and lost only
two of them. Most of the contests were
over the opening of 100 oysters. At one
time Balmer opened 100 oysters in 4 min
utes and 90 seconds, which is now the
best straight knife" record Palmer
has also opened 1000 oysters in IS min
utes. The two matches in which he was
defeated he lost to John Gillon. The
first match was best two out of three
records in opening 100 oysters, but owing
to a dispute Bal1ner retired from the
contest, leaving the match to Gillon. AT
the second match Balmer was beaten by
eight oysters.
Among the lightning operators on Will
liam Fosters scow the most conspicuous
undoubtedly is "Black Frank" as Frank
Barrett, who is as white a man as any
other white man in this country, is
dubbed by his associates. Mr.. Barrett

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Little Other Than Routine Business Trans
acted Last Night.

aCteu List Night.
There was a meeting Of the Board Of
Public Works last night, and the bust
ness transacted was largely Of routine
character.
The contract for six catch basins on
Twenty-ninth, Eoff and Chapline streets,
was let to II. d. Rumble. The purpose
of the basins is to draw the water from
Chapline and Eoff streets.
While the Board was in session, City
Physician Spragg and Councilman hrei-
ter appeared on the scene for a short
time. Mr.. Kreiter called attention to
the carcass of dog that was laying on
Market street just below Twenty
seventh street. 1t seems that this dog
was killed by being run over by a train,
and the 3. 81 o. was notified by some OF
the officials TO remove the body which
they did off their property on to Que OF
the public thoroughiares OF the city. The
dog has been in the street since last
Friday. and has become very offensive.
The dog will likely be removed to-day.
Instances Of where certain alleys in
town had become offensive through the
accumulation of rubbish and garbage
were cited, and yet as was stated last
night, the very people who complain
about these matters will seldom commit
themselves TO the extent of divulging
the guilty parties. The only way to
discover the perpetrators was to put
the police on their guard, and as soon
&c one is caught throwing garbage in
the alley, make an example of that per-
