AMUSING INCIDENTS AT THE CLOSING.
Many amusing lncidents characte riZed
the closing hours this morning. A num-
ber of small boys gathered about THE
NEWS otfce door and bet fabulous ums
as to who would be the winner. Every
NEWS employe who went in or out the
door was accosted by:
SAY, Mister, whose ahead?n or HAS
Alex any chance"
Shortly before the close of
the count an elderly lady
with good nature beaming through her
srectaeles, came into The NEWS office
with little pundle of ballots iu her
hand.
"Who is second2" she asked, of a gen.
tleman connected with the busin ess
staff"
"Coyne was second Saturday" the
young man replied; "but it is impossible
to say who is ahead today"
WELL" she said. II want to cast
these votes for the second man. They
may decide the contest in his favor. The
best horse will leap the ditch, and want
to back him."
The old lady had evidently a vein of
sporting blood In her composition. She
finally cast the votes for Coyne, having
filled in his name, and went out as though
convinced that she had decided the issue
of the contest.
As stated above, Tier and Haubury
brought in as their reserves immense
piles of ballots. There were Increases all
along the line. and some new candidates
made their appearance on the home
stretch. These. with the reserve support
of Watson and Coyne. make up the
enormous vote polled today.
big Jake Kramer was in and out of the
Office several times, and Detective Clos
was among those who called to
inquire tor news of the contest
Almost every member of the staff was
importuned for news by anxious men,,who
are interested in the contest. The failure
TO crafty these persons Is not the result
of an uDwillingness to impart the desired
Information. but it was impossible to do
so with any degree of accuracy, especially
with reference to the contest between
Watson aud Coyne.

The Sub Treasury Settles in Notes In
stead of Gold.
NEW YORK. July "a, 1s93.-The banks
reported the condition as fairly easy and
to some extent better, inasmuch as the
demands sor accommodation were light
The most notable demands for assistance
today were from Ohio. The orders for
currency today were light, and at tn e
Sub Treasury at half past eleven o'clock
it was said that up to that time there had
been none paid out for shipment.
The Sub-Treasury was debtor at the
Clearing house lhis morning only S118,-
600, and that sum was pale In notes.
What caused the Treasury officials TO pay
in notes instead OF gold. as they have
for the last week, could not be
ascertained, but 1t was assumed
that the protest of the
banks through the press against the in
convenient method of settling the Clear
Ing House balances iu gold has caused
them to see the absurdity of the practice.
