0nondaga, San Jose road and the wide
Pacific, the voting was active and at times
exciting.
The precinct includes large number OF
our Italian fe!low-citizens. whose concep-
tion of the prevailing language Is generally
rather slow. These natives are, therefore,
so TO speak, at the mercy OF the inspector.
who translates as his sympathies run and
as his own productions may dictate.
Out OF 265 registered votes in the precinct
no less than $50 individuals voted, leaving
Just twebty-niHe persons who failed TO vote.
The precinct is Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, owing to the persistent efforts OF In
speetor A. T. Mordaunt, who was every
where and al all times.
Inspector Mordaunt admitted, uncon.
scously, TO q CALL reporter that the pre-
einct had gone for Cleveland by large
majority, aud added unctuOuSly that the
result was due largely 10 his own efforts.
Inspector Mordaunt also Jlngled, sng-
gestiyely, a large pockeful of silver as a
prime factor of his successful campaign.
Down in Precinct u it took long time
to vote, the average being 1914 minutes for
each one.
This was considerably longer than the
usual time allowed. but that made no
especial difference 10 the gang and every
man was allowed just as long time as
wanted.
Some of them. in fact many OF the voters
took forty-fye minutes 10 vote and never a
protest was entered
The two United States inspectors had a
real good time. Neither was efficient or
understood the duties which he was sup
posed 10 oversee.
When one of them wanted to start out to
get Chronicle the other was willing and
vice versa.
For hours both were absent, and then the
gang had things their Own way. 1t was
only when the time for closing approached
that the two United States Marshals woke
up to the occasion,
Both displayed remarkable energy at this
time aud real disposition TO assert their
authority.
They were thirsty.
The gang who acted as the depository and
recorders of the votes in the Twelfth Pre-
cinct were remarkable for many things. uu-
doubtedly, particularly so for their hand
writing, which was original in style, If not
on the latest improved system.
There was no disturbance during the day,
and not vote was challenged
julius Petit, n conductor of the electric
road, was the last man TO vote in Precinct
II Of the Thirty-sixth Assembly District,
and he cast his vote al exactly $40 p. NJ.
A howl of delight arose from the thrOats
OF The gang. including the old red-nosed
man who had the official ballots in charge,
and the crowd then went TO supper.
Officer Z. w. Esken of the police was
present at the polls during the day. His

PHONOGRAPh CYLINDERS.
Process of Making the Wax Blanks for
Public Exhibitions.
Cincinnati Commercial.

Cincinnati Commercial
It may have occurred TO some who, by in
serting the end pieces of two little rubber
tubes in their ears, heard reproductions of
stage songs by prima donBas, stirring
marches aud thrilling martial music by
famous orchestras or bands, to reflect that
tie little machine in the corner OF the station
waiting-room, which ground out this sur
prising result, was getting something tor
nothing, or that somebody who owned it,
and "who toiled not. neither Spun," was
reaping harvest in nickels.
1t may be interesting to know how the
Photographic blanks" as the little wax
cylinders used upon the Edison phonograph
for recording and reproducing speech are
technically known, are charged with these
choice selections of classic music for the
public who have nickels to drop in the SLOT
The process Is first to place the singers or
instruments as closely to the large speaking
horn of the photograph as possible in the
room from which all other sound is care
fully excluded. If there is more than one
singer or instrument they are grouped in a
semicircle. Four or five. sometimes as
many as seven, phonographs are arranged
also in a semieircle.
The sounds are recorded on all simul-
taneOusly, but not with equal perfection,
some of the cylinders being better than
others. By this process. if a large number
Of cylinders are needed to supply all the
phono graphs controlled by the company,
the music is simply repeated as many times
as is necessary.
After testing the cylinders are then ready
to be placed upon the monographs at the
railway stations, seaside resorts and other
public places, where the curious audience OF
one drops nickel in the slot and then smiles
to himself and wonders why every one else
doesn't smile in enjoyment Of tue feast OF
song.
much more rapid process is used by Mr..
Edison in his works. What is called a
master record" is made upon q single
cylinder, which is used similarly to the mat
rix in the stereotypiDg process for repro
ducng or multiplying the cylinders as many
times as may be desired.

Phases and HumO rs of the New Australian

Widely different aspects distinguished the
various polling-plsees of the city yesterday.
In all there was considerable doubt regard
ing the working of the new Australian bal
lot system, and the doubt acted in different
ways.
In the more bigh-class residence portions
the vote was unusually early and steady.
The Thoughtful knew the value of vote. and
also that the best chance TO have 1t recorded
was to appear at the polls early.
1t was different in some of the tougher"
portions of town. The apprehension regard
ing the new ballots seemed TO have had much
the same effect as the expectation of di fl
cult class subject upon sch0olboy.
They fingered and loitered around the
booths, appealing to every one for help and
suggestions. These fellows were often
picked up by Samaritan members of the
Third-street gang nd induced" to throw a
ballot for their masters.
Yet another contingent was conspic-
uously absent from the immediate vicinity
of the polls.
These were the suffers proper.
Although many arrests were made and
others may follow, still the bulk of the
paid for army which Kelly. Grim Minis & Co.
have been so steadily drilling for SO long

They hung around the saloons and be-

palmy days Of stuffing are believed to have
disappeared with the new method of voting,
which places too many obstacles in the wa y
of fraud TO make ii profit able.
On the surface all was gOod-humored

Most OF tho ThirtySecond Assembly
District Was Qniet.
The voting at the PotrerO was carried on
in a quiet and orderly way yesterday, the
only disturbance being caused by man
named Gearing. a haDgeT-o on at Kelly and
Crimmins' saloon.
1t appears that Precinct IA OF the Thirty
second Assembly District was short Of an
election clerk. and Gearing, though he lives
on Sixth and Brannan streets, was sworn in
to fill the vacancy.
All went well until Challenger p. Norton
pointed out the Democratic clerks to Demo-
Gratis who wished TO vote. but were unable
to read or write and wished q clerk to assist
them in making out their ballots.
When Gearing heard this he jumped up,
exclaiming that he was there to protect Re-
publican interests and that the action of
Challenger Norton was Illegal and that he
had no right inside the booth. Norton an
swered In very mplimentary Language,
and words led to blows, and but for the in
reference Of Inspector Hawes q serious
fracas would have been the result.
Ali this time the voting had been stopped,
which caused delay of fully twenty
| minutes. At length 1t was decided that
Norton had the right 10 give instructions oi
the aforesaid nature, and polling was re-
| sumed without further trouble.

This district is bounded by the southerly
line of Broadway OH the north, the northerIy
line Of Market street forming the southerly
boundary, and extending from the easterly
line of Mason street on the west, to the
westerly line of Kearny street on the east,
between the two main thoroughfares first
mentioned. Chinatown and the Latin
Quarter form little more than half the
area Of the Forty third District, and it is
subdivided into sixteen precincts. Iu all
these precincts good order regned this
morning.
There were no arrests made by the police
or the United States Marshals. although in
tho northern part of the city some ehalleng-
ing was INDUCED in. Voting proceeded
quietly all day without any rushes or
crowding at 3 p. NJ. With the exception of
two booths no voters were shut cut
There was a complete absence Of suffers
and deadbeats.
The police generally reported a scare of
the detective camera, and O consequent
absence of the suffer brigade. The ballot
ing occupied from four minutes to half an
hour, averaging in the various booths men,
toned about fifteen minutes to each voter
The general belief WAS that the polls were
too well guarded for suffers. who had con-
fined their work chiefly to the more outlying
districts.

made In the Third Precinct. He was ac-
cused of perjury. but was bailed out by his

locals were shut out. They couldn't score

of them get past their bases and save a

M00NSHIEERS III JAIL.
The MnrshaIs Round Up the Mountains
OF Northern Georgia.

Atlanta Constitution.
A dozen United States prisoners from the
mountain precincts of Georgia were re-
Gently transferred from the Atlanta to the
County jail Of Hall County at Gainesville
This move was rendered necessary on ae-
count of the crowded condition Of the jail.
There is on overflow of prisoners just at this
time at the Atlanta Jail. and for two weeks
the revenue quarter OF the prison has been
crowded with moonshiners like cattle car
with cattle. The capacity of the jail has been
oyertaxed. and the wooden portion of the
prison devoted exclusively TO mountain-dew
makers has been overrun. The inundation
has crowded the old rock jail. The mount
ain prisoners have been accommodated in
the three or four vacant rooms adjoining
and upstairs above the Jail oftice. But there
is limit 10 the capacity of the Atlanta jail
even, and that limit has been reached. 10
give the other prisoners in the jail breathing
space q dozen prisoners were taken TO
Gainesville Saturday.
One hundred and twenty five rev enue
prisoners are still confined in the jail. This
unusually large number of prisoners s due
to the time of year This is the moon
shine" season, the time when they pouT in
from the mountain districts in prolific num-
bers.
month ago there were only twenty pris-
Oners in the revenue quarter Of the jail, but
the prophecy of what followed was correctly
made by staiWart moonshlner named JUS
tice, Tho said:
"Jes' you wait till about the middle Of
October and you'll see the boys come in in
whole regiments. Yer see, it's this way !:
The boys ha' been a-makin' of ther crops
all the summert an now the works done,
the corn is ripeDiDg Oh the stalk, the boys
ha' nOthiB' to 90, speshul, an they're oc-
kypyin' therselves maxim whisky"
This prophecy came true. O1e day last
week eighteen moonshiDers were brought
In, another day there came fourteen, and
still another day furnished twelve. 1t be-
gan to look as IL the whole of North
Georgia was going to empty its population
into the Jail. The jailyard is a living mass
of moonsbiners nowadays. They crowd
into the yard from the dark quarters where
they are confined to get breath of fresh
air and a glimpse of sunlight
One staiwart mountaneer has q fd die,
and be makes breakdown music for the boys.
When they hear the strains of "Black-eyed
Susan" and some other jolly air sadly
reminiscent look comes into their eyes, and
they cannot resist the temptation to dance.
UncoDsciously their feet begin to shuttle.
| and before they are aware Of 1t three or four
| scores Of them are dancing.
No more United States prisoners will be
|. admitted until some Of the present Inmates
are tried and disposed OF. Two weeks ago
a large number of them, embracing nearly
every inmate of the jail, sent a petition
to President Harrison, asking that be par
don them, so they could get out In time tc
vote.
