lied thia morning that the disease had
gone deeper and was affecting his

Alderman Carpenter 10 one OF the
democratic aldermen whose term in tho
common council expircs this spring,
and like all good democratic aldermen
be would like to be returned. But u
will not be all smooth ssIiing for the
alderman mentioned. There nfe a
number OF good democrats IN his ward
who would not object 10 stepping into
his shoes, and il Is quite probable that
united eirort will be made 10 pat
some other man there. 1t 10 said that
the opposition to Alderman Carpenter
will unite on school trustee +. j. May

ter ont in the convention. 1t is also
said that il is on the same cards 70
nominate j. u. Boland for supervisor
in the new eleventh ward. 1t is the
cutting OF the present Tenth ward in
two, making the new Eleventh, that
will vacate the office Of school trustee
now held by Mr.. Maybury. The divid-
ing line will be Fifth avenue. and as
Mr.. NJ. lives south of that street, he
can hardly hold Office as school trustee
in the Tel.th. II is also stated that he
would prefer being an alderman rather
than school trustee. Lively times
may be expected.

the proposition 10 to replenish it by
water from the river. The necessity
of immediate action was urged. The

Electric Gram Bin Indicator.

An apparatus has been designed
which will save an immense amount
of trouble and labor in grain elevator
work. This device enables the men
employed In the elevators to tell
when the bin is full. The apparatus
comprises an electric battery, a bell
aud diaphragm, which is placed in
the bin at distance OF about IS
inches from the top. The diaphragm
is connected by wires to the battery
and bell, and when the bin is full the
alarm is started and continues TO
sound until 1t lie cut out by a switch
provided for the purpose. The bin is
also indicated by the number of the
switch which corresponds to it, or by
a point annuncistor. This device
can also be applied to sscertaining
the amount of grain in the bin, which
is now done by lowering q lighted
lamp into the bin by rope.

Black Bass Story.
ON the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Two Plsinfield, N. j., boys, while
walking a road on Friday, heard a
splash in bush q short distance of.
Upon hurrying to the stream they
found pool about 80 feet long by 20
feet wide and less than feet deep
full of black bass. One OF the boys
waded in and Immediately lively
skirmish ensued. The bass, wishing
to escape. "leaped high In the air,
and the boy caught q number OF them
on the fly, and threw them to his
companion on the bank" Then the
boys started home with their fish,
none of which weighed less than a
pound and half. The lad says the
pool Is cut off from the course of the
brook near by, and that during the
dry weather the brook had become so
low that it ceased to flow through the
pool, thus imprisoning the fish.
