WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.
The Regular Democracy Makes Some
Big Canes.

Yesterday the seventh trial to elect
ward officers, together with Alderman and
Councilmen, took place i'm the Second
Ward. The highest vote cast was for
Warden, for which us were cast.
The number voting was somewhat
larger, but there were few blanks and,
as usual, a few spoiled ballots where the
voter wanted To vote for both Mr.. Hayes
and Mr.. McVay and both lost the vote in
consequence.
The result OF the vote on warden, how
ever, was that the regular Democratic
candidate, William IL. HAYES, IL elected
by majority OF 10, and Holdover War
den McVay is retired from an office from
which, under,ordinary elections laws, he
would have been ousted last January.
This was the only election, although
the results were closer than at any time
heretofore and the chances OF the regular
Democracy is daily growing brighter.
Alderman Winters had been, for the
previous six trials, the plurality candi-
date as the following figures will show:

Yesterday the figures were: Gill, $50;
keenan,, III, and Nickerson, who took the
place OF Borden, SO.
The biggest change OF any place on the
ticket was on the position Of third Coun-
Gilman. Joseph II. McCaughey, the cam
didate of the "Citizens Democracy" was
the most popular OF the Council candi-
dates. He led John Erwin on two or three
trips and was 20 votes or more ahead Of
his colleagues, McDuff and keenan,.
McDun and Keenan's friends did not
like this and it is given out by party on
the inside that tit was necessary to clip
Joe's wings bit and 1t was done very ef-
fectually, some by going direct to Erwin
and OF theirs to "W hiskers" Cole.
The official vote on this position Is !:
Total vote, 5Oi; necessary for choice, 253
Wheaton Cole, 101; Joseph McCaughey,
III, and John Erwin 232, and lacks but 10
of an election.
IL will therefore be seen that Mr.. Nc
Cangbey, instead OF leading his ticket as
he has done in every contest heretofore,
drops to the very lowest.
Many OF Joe's friends are indignant to-
day and only await one more chance to
annihilate somebody.

minority candidate by the nominee OF the
regular Democracy, Edward O'Brien, as
the following figures will show:
James Ntsbet................... ~
Edward OBrien. ........................... 256
James III. Winters................ 23l
This total vote was 521, only taxpayers
being entitled to vote for Alderman and
Councimen.
The number does not vary much from
the other contests as at the first trial the
total number cast for Alderman was $50;
second trial, $40; third, 500; fourth, 52i /;
fifth, 545; sixth, 519.
The total vote cast yesterday for first
Councilman was $40, OF which 1856 were
necessary for a choice. Edward Nc
Caughey, the Democratic candidate, re-
ceived 242 and consequently lacked II of
an election.
A good deal OF interest centered In the
election OF second Councilman, and after
the polls were closed and before the result
was announced the Smith faction was
conceding Isaac Gill's election.
While the result was not as conceded, Il
came quite close to il as the total vot,
cast was 900 of which 255 were necessary
for a choice. Mr.. Gill received $50 anc
consequently lacked votes of an elec'
tion.

may be compared with previous contests

A Famous Fire Rescue.

In the forenoon of Jan. 81, 1882, the
old building at Park row and Beekman
street caught fire. The 6-story building
had only one stairway and was filed
with people. The building being old
and dry, the fame spread rapidly, and
many people found terrible death.
Just as it seemed that no human being
could escape death three men were seen
in an upper window. The fremen
quickly brought ladders, but the longest
reached only half the distance. In the
crowd a colored bootblack, Charles
Wright, saw that fastened to the roof of
the building, just above the window
where the men were, was telegraph
wire, and that this wire ran across the
street to the top of a telegraph pole in
City Hall park.
He saw that if the wire was cut in the
park it would fall right across the win
dow, so that the men could descend by
it. In an instant he seized a freman's
wrench that lay near by, ran across the
street and began to climb the tall, smooth
telegraph pole. 1t was not easy in the
wind and snow, but by hard climbing
Wright soon reached the crossbars.
Quickly he twisted the wire rope off.
Down it fell, right across the window!
