It Secures and Stamps the Ballot and
Then Rings "Au Right"
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-W. Sumpter Black.
a machinist of this city, has perfected an
improved Australian ballot box of inge-
NOUS design.
After the ballot is inserted in the slot
it passes between two cylinders. One is
rasped to force it to the bottom of the
box, and has characters cast on it to des-
ignate the ward and precinct in which the
ballot is voted. The ballot also passes
over a self-feeding cylinder, between two
other rollers, which aid in it's deposit.
The mechanism is worked by a crank,
which also registers the number of each
ballot and rings a bell as it is deposited.
The bell notifies the judges that another
ballot has been cast, and the voter that
it has been safely deposited.
The box is also provided with a key tc
throw the mechanism out of gear wher
the polls have closed.

New YORK, Jan. 2.-Captain Jones, OF
the steamship Galileo, made a statement
this morning to the effect that Captain
Mckay, of the Umbria, refused to take q
tow of the Galileo. Capt. Mckay has said
that he was anxious to have the Galileo
tow him, but that Capt. Jones declined
to do So
Here are the facts" said Capt. Jones

miles away. Our course was altered four
points, and I went around and to the lee
ward of the Umbria until was half a
mile distant. 1t was not prudent to come
to a dead stop any nearer, as her drags
were out and heavy gale was on.

tress flying and, although it was dark,
was burning no torch forward as a signal
that help was desired. She was simply

she needed help and asked for none.

GOOD RAILROAD YEAR.
All the Lines Centering in Chicago Show
Handsome Gains for 1892.

AL the 1Aduoh OehIorInS IN NhAcdBO ShO"
Handsome Gains for 1892.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The year just closed
was a prosperous one for the railroads en-
tering Chicago. Everyone of them is able
to show handsome gains in both gross
and net earnings, notwithstanding the
fact that rates have been comparatively
low during the greater part of the year.
The amount of freight, exclusive of
live stock, brought in and taken out of
Chicago will, it is estimated, reach a to-
tai of 10, 000, 900 tons. At the same time
the managers of the various lines say that
it has been very expensive year for
them, on account of the heavy OUTLAWS
necessary in preparing to handle next
years traffic. A very large portion of
their earnings have been set apart for
this purpose, and for this reason some of
the companies are compelled to postpone
contemplated increases in dividends.
1t is thought that 5000, 900 would
hardly cover the amounts appropriated
since April 1, and now being expended
for improvements in terminal facilities,
for equipments and betterments gener-
ally,

NOT DUE SOLELY TO STRAIN.
The Hawser Connecting the Bohemia and
Umbria Partially Cut by a Chise1.

The HawSer Connecting the Bohem1a and
Umbria Partially Cut by a Chisel.
NEW York, Jan. at has been dis
covered that the steel hawser with which
the Umbria was towed by the Hamburg
American steamship Bohemia on Dec.
"a did not part solely because of the
strain caused by the high seas.
A clean nick in one of the strands in
dictates that hawser was cut aboard the
Bohemia.
The Bohemia was signalled and engaged
to tow the Umbria to New York. A boats
crew from the disabled Cunarder took
line to the Hamburg ship although there
was heavy sea on.
Heavy show squalls came up later and
the Bohemia could not be seen from the
Umbria. After towing 36 miles the
hawser parted. This occurred at 10:45 p.
m on the Gath.
The great strain caused by the heavy
seas was supposed to have broken the
hawser. 1t is probable that the Hamburg
ship was in danger, and there was no time
to back the engines so that the hawser
could be cast off.
1t was partially cut out by the engi-
neer's chisel, the strain did the rest. The
Bohemia was not seen after the lin Q
parted, and is supposed to have gone on
her way to Hamburg
Self preservation alone would war
rant her in cutting the hawser and leav-
ing the Umbria in II disabled condition
The Bohemia is due at Hamburg this
afternoon.
The Umbria will not get new thrust
| shaft on this side of the Atlantic. The
| Cunard line has decided to have the fas-
tened part of the shaft repaired in such q
| way that it will, for one voyage at least,
be practically as good as a new one.
Six holes one and fourteen-seventeenths
| of an inch in diamerer will be drilled
transversely through the shaft at the
| points of fracture and six steel bolts will
be driven into the holes. This work will
consume about a week.
| 1t is likely that the Umbria will b.
ready to sail in about ten days. She will
steam at three-quarters speed.

The Groom Only Was in Earnest and the
New Wife Deserts Him at Once.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 2.-Thomas Car
roll, former resident of Easton, but now
of Colorado, returned home on a visit the
other day and called at the house of Ell.
Lawless, prominent farmer, to renew
his acquaintance with Miss Annie Law
less, who was little girl when he went
away.
In a laughing manner he offered Mrs.
Lawless a quarter for her daughter.
Thinking he was joking she accepted
the money, and the girl, in a spirit OF
fun, consented also.
Carroll was in earnest, however, and
coming to St. Joe he secured a marriage
license. Returning, he demanded that
the ceremony take place at once.
Unde what she claims was an uncon
trollable impulse the girl consented,
and they were married.
AS soon as the ceremony was over the
bride left him and went home, refusing
to have anything more to do with him.
Carroll has left for Colorado.

Says He is Glad Presbytery Has Adopted
Such Broad Grounds.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 2.-The Rev. Charlea
II. Parkhurst in his sermon last night al.
luded to the acquittal Of DR.. Briggs. He
said: t..
81 have sat in the Scotch church in
Fourteenth street and listened to discus,
sions that would seem to imply that the
kingdom of heaven depended upon the
dotting of an 81. "
~ would be sorry to have 1t understood
that am animated by unkindliness OF
feeling The Church is for mutual mem
bership in Christ, as the branches of q
tree belong to the tree. We call oul
Church the Presbyterian Church. 1t
means that it is some church and some
Presbyterian. could be member of the
Church of Christ without being Presby-
terrain.
''If man has ecclesiastical screws put
on him and he is expelled from the Pres
byterian church, it does not follow that
he ceases to be a Presbyterian. 1 mean
this in no disrespect.
81 rejoice that SO large a majority OF
our Presbytery has put itself on broad
grounds, and hope the minority will
come to see things in the same liberia
spirit"

citing. Mr. Brandegee has been often
mentioned as very brainy man, much
more so in fact than either Hawley or
Buckley and would make an influential
man in the Uuited States senate. How
ever, he is one of the few lawyers in the
state whose legal business is a better
paying one than seat in the senate
would be. Mr. Brandegee says he is toe
tired to fight in the front ranks and has

Missing Postmaster A1lender.

= NEW LONDON, Jan 2.-Postofice In
spector Brush, who Investigated the
affairs at the New London postoffce,
and discovered the shortage, has left
this city. He has not learned anything
of the whereabouts of the missing post
master. He thinks the departure of Mr.
Allender to be the most unwise course
he could have pursued. The ex-post-
masters friends are looking for his re-
turn. They would try to influence him
to return and face the music if they
knew where he was, but they are as
ignorant as the inspector. Mr. Brush
believes that Mr. Allender's return
would secure leniency that will be with.
held if he remains away much longer.

DIR. Briggs Case.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Jan. 2.-Rev. DR..

Seminary of New York, says that the YER

DR.. Hastings says, will gladly appear.
