New York's Campaign Expenses.

election in New York in a presidential year.
exclusive of the campaign expenses OF the
various parties. The items are as follows:
Pay of inspectors poll clerks and ball I
clerks, S205, 800; rent Of polling places and
the construction of and carting of ballot
boxes aud booths, maps, printing and sta
tionery, 500 900; official ballots. $50 600:
ADVERTISING the election districts, polling
places and official canvass, $40, 900; adver.

Including 800 for refreshment of clerks
on election night, $1,000; payment of
clerks to board OF canvasssrs, $4,000:
total, SAIL 800. That what the city paws.
When the federal expenses are addei for
marshals and supervisors the total Is in ex-
cess Of $500, 900. In putting at ] ,l37 the
number Of election districts this year the
board OF police commissioners has added
considerably TO the amount Of patronage
In the way of election officers, enjoyed by
the two parties, and has at the same time
increased largely the election expenses.
Changes in population are so rapid In New
York, and building operations are carried
on so extensively that IL is difficult task
for the bureau Of elections TO keep track OF
the fluctuations, but an increase OF 200 cleo
ton districts In single year appears to be
abnormal, especially when 1t Is considered
that democratic legislature fixed the
limit of voting population Ia an election
district at 400. The total vote iu New York
this year will not be, according to present
appearances, in excess of 100000, and on
the basis of 300 votes 10 an election district
1000 polling places would serve the need of
the voters. Tammaays reasons for the
increase may be apparent later.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

1t affords me pleasure to introduce to
the patrons of the Academy and to the
business men of Sauh Centre, Prof. L, II.
Vath, as my successor to The joint prin-
cipal.ship of the Sank Centre Academy
y Business College. Prof Vath's thor
ough education, combined with his ex-
perience in teaching, enlinently qualities
him for the position. The universal sat
isfaction which Prof Vath has given as
teacher in the Academy, during the last
year, speaks more for him than that !
may say.
From the beginning the Academy has
steadily grown in public favor and gen
eral usefulness. At no former time hasit
had so large an ATTENDANCE or given bet
ter satisfaction than during the present
year.
Ifeel certain that the Academy has a
bright future, and that by little extra
exertion on the part Of the business men
Of Sank Centre and ofthe new managers,
the enrolment can be Increased to double
the present number. Confident that the
Academy will continue to merit public
favor, remain ever solicitous of the wei
fare of it and its patrons. Respectfully
6. r. SMITH.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Tho Pennsylvania House Badly sha Il
en- Last Evening.

Last evening there was terrific OK
piosion OF illuminating gas at the
Pennsylvania House, Front and King
streets, that Injured three persons and
did considerable damage. Doors were
torn from their hinges, dishes broken,
and in fact everything torn up In a
terrible manner, The large stove In
the Kitchen was almost demolished,
and two CLOCKS were thrown from
their places and completely wrecked.
/ In the dining room large old-fash-
Toned sofa was broken, and the tloor
sunk about two inches.
I 1t Is supposed the explosion was
caused by q leak In tho main pipe,
which had been broken by the en-
ployees Of the Water Department.
The gas from the leaking main backed
into tho sewer. and thence Into the
sewer and water closets of the hotel.
When the gus jets were lighted, the ex'
plosion followed.
Mrs. Hanrahan gives the following
account OF theaffalr;
1--WE had finished supper. Mr.. Han
rahan went out for a walk and was
upstairs. Meantime my cook had
lighted the gas In the dlnlng'rooms
and kitchen. / had been upstairs less
than five minutes when heard q re-
port like a powder mill explosion.
was knocked down and dazed. How
long remained SO ! cannot tell, but
when l rec covered l was so nervous
and weak could scarcely stand. When
Il won't down etairs all the gas was out
having been extinguished by the ex.
ploslon.
Ordering lights l soon found out
what had caused tho trouble, and the
sight OF the wreckage made me sick.
James Brnnnlgan was sitting near the
door leading into the hallway when
the explosion occurred. The door was
blown from Its hinges and struck him
on the back and head. He is badly in
jured, but DIR. Fahey says he will re
cover. NJ. j. Lally, the bartender, was
behind the bar at the time. He was
struck across the back by big pic
tuTo frame that was hurled from the
wall. His spine is said to be injured,
but no serious results arc looked for,
THE gas seems to have come up
Through the water closet. Workmen
from tho Street Department have been
connecting our private sewer with the
main sewer on King street, and think
they must have opened a gas pipe In
some way"
I MIR. Hanrahan estimates his loss at
about $500, for which ho intends to
hold the gas company Responsible. A
humber of men were employed last
evening in Repairing the main, and
while they were ut work an electric
car pass I'd over tho hole and sparkle
from the wheels caused the escapinggas
to explode. making a loud report. The
cobbies in the street near the hole were
lifed by the explosion.
