NE VS..
ALEXANDRIA.

The votes Of the election which was held
here yesterday were not counted up until
some time after nightfall. There were
considerable crowds at each Of the four
polling places, but no excitement. The
virginia law requiring the closing of bars
at all liquor selling establishments from the
sunset before the election to the sunrise
after 1t has always a benefcent effect and
tends greatly to promote public peace. As
was anticipated in The Star there was a
large democratic majority SO large that
figures lost their Importance. They were,
however. at the close Of the polls: For
governor. OFerrall, democrat, Lis; Cooke.
4OS. For delegate, Mr.. Chas. Bandheim re-
ceived 1,lOl votes. only two votes being cast
for any other candidate.
Ex-City Treasurer Lunt, who has now re-
covered sufficiently to be about. again
turned over yesterday to City Treasurer
Harlow the office which was transferred
to him from MIR. Harlow a few months
ago. Mr. Dennis Normoyle. formerly dep
uty in Mr.. Harlow's administration, is
again the deputy treasurer. Mr.. Harlow
will complete the term for which he was
originally elected, and which will expire
on June 30 next. The election for city treas.
urer will occur in May. and 1t is hoped here
that Mr.. Harlow will be a candidate for
the position.

Insurance Commissioner Maj. George 8.
Merrill has just arrived in Boston from Chi
cago, being the first direct courier from the
bedside of Capt. Jack Adams, comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. Mr.. Merrill said today: 1T was the
luckiest thing In the world for Capt. Adams
that he happened to be caught away from
home this time, for he got heroic treatment,
which he has not had before. had just to
grab doctor, for the captain was wild,
and We had to work quick. 1t proved the
happiest thing in the world, too, that
captured the one did. He was a young
man, DR.. Tallman. but he diagnosed the
case right off correctly, and knew exactly
what to do. Then when 1t became neces-
sary to operate he called in DR.. Fenger.
who Is one Of the experts of the country.
When the captain was taken down at Lynn
they simply made an incision to let the
matter out. but these doctors went clear to
the bottom, and they took out bits of bone
which they said had been slowly decom-
posing for fifteen or twenty years, the
wonder being that the captain had not died
been supposed. from what the former sur
geons said, that the captain had a bullet
still In him, but the doctors in Chicago
could find no bullet at all, and they went
cicdr U tne DOttom OF the wound. Inc sore
was not caused by any jagged parts Of the
bone rubbing against each other, either. 1t
was simply the leaving of these bits of bone
In the cavity, which healed on the outside
and left them to rot within. The captain
was shot the first time in the groin and
when he turned he got the second bullet in
the back, right above the hip. This ball
was the one that was supposed to have re-
manned In him. as the other went through,
but the doctors in Chicago state that in ali
probability the second shot passed out of
the orifice that the first had made At any
rate. they could find no trace Of It, The
only anxiety now is to completely drain of
the pus. and the only difficulty Is the ten
dency of the wound to heal before the doc
tors are ready to have 1t. Unless some
thing not now foreseen should set in,
should say that Jack would be ready to
start for home in about ten days"

These changes in the things themselves
in the hands of the most primitive involve
the following simple steps:
1. Natural objects unchanged in form or
material used for their natural function
For example thorn needles, beaver tooth
or sharks tooth carving TOOLS horns and
teeth for spear points and other weapons.
feather decorations. even skins for cloth
ing and caves for dwelling, food eaten raw.
2. Natural objects slightly modified in
form to improve their performance of the
same function. Beaver teeth hafted and
ground. Caves cleaned out, natural fires
utilized. skins cut to shape food toasted
3. Natural objects unchanged in shane tn
perform a new and different function:
stones for hammers, shells for dishes, clubs
for weapons, wood for floats.
4. Copying natural forms into other ma
terial, as in woodwork, basketry, pottery,
gourds.
5. Natural objects changed in form to
perform a different function. This class
lies at the basis of all true inventions. The
process supposes an acquaintance with the
forms of things and the qualities of things
For example, the form of natural objects is
more and more changed to perform an ever
increasing and varying body of functions.
The qualities of substances and activities
are better understood and introduced into
the arena of invention.
6. Imitation of human action by machines
Z. Use of natural forces for human power
The first hammer or saw or gimlet was
either a natural object or one slightly mod
fled to do it's work. From the day that the
primitive inventor made his apparatus he
and his successors continued to add to or
take from the structural parts IN order to
increase or render more easy the functional
movements. The old stone knapper knocked
of spal after spall, taking away stone to
increase the value of his implement. He
added all sorts of haftings for various
structures, and by and by 1t occurred to
him to combine two structures into one, a.

Composer GIuck at Work.

When Gluck composed his immortal
 works, a bottle of champagne was al- ways placed on either side of the piano,
 and its effervescence helped to inspire the great arias of "Iphigenia," ""Armida" and "Alceste." When the final rehear- sals were held of the "Iphigenia, Gluck had not yet written the melody to the "Dance of the Scythians." Naverre, the the ballet master, becoming uneasy over the delay, went to him one morning to urge him to hurry 1t up, AS he entered
 the composers anteroom he heard unu- sual and terrific noises emanating from
 Gluck's library. He approached stealth fly, and through crack in the door saw Chuck in shirt sleeves, his face as red as fire and distorted by horrible grimaces, singing. gesticulating and jumping about like mailman. Naverre, fright ened by the extraordinary spectacle, pushed the door open. "Ah, there you are," exclaimed Gluck. "I am just fn- ishing your dance and will let you have 1t right away" It was then that Chuck had composed that grand orgie of the savages which created such profound
 susation on the stAgs,-st. Louis Post paaDASchs

CANAAN, CONN, THURSDAY, ,AUGUsT3

afternoon among the citizens of Scratch Gravel when it was discovered that Jack was gone. Search was made of his cabin, but there were no signs of Sally, Jack or the twins. They were gone for good.
 And now comes the strangest part of this story. The 10th of July five years later gray old man, bent nearly dou- ble, thrust his shadowy form into the presence of the chief magistrate of Scratch Gravel and demanded a hearing.
 "I am Jack Langworthy," he said, "and I have come back according to promise to be hanged. You see, the twins are dead-both dead-and Sally she's gone to-run away with another man, and now I've come back to meet the requirements of the law. There has been some delay, I'll admit. but was bound to come back some time, and here I am."
 The laws and customs of Scratch Gravel had changed somewhat since Jack departed the place five years be- fore, and as the affair in which he was interested was no longer sensation of the day he was simply told to leave the town as soon as possible. He went at once, and the last seen of him alive he was tramping slowly out of town with his face toward the setting sun.
 A little later in the year, when the chapparal bushes began to shed their leaves and the vines that tumbled over the gray rocks were touched with frost, the feshless frame of man was found suspended from a rock over deep ravine. It was Jack Langworthy. Fail ing to find an executioner when he want ed one, he had taken the matter into his own hands and hanged himself.-J. M. Hoffman in Chicago Inter Ocean.

A DEADLY CYCLONE.
Forty Persons Reported to Have nesn
 Killed at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Aug. 2a.-Forty lives have been lost and millions of dollars worth of property destroyed in this neighborhood by storm. Nine barks have been blown ashora
 The wires are almost useless, but meager details of great loss of life and property come from Brunswick, further south along the coast Tybec has been wrecked, and the indications are that apath marked by wind and rain has been made across this state and South Carolina to Charlotte, N. O., and from there toward the coast again to Petersburg, Va. The wind began rising early in the afternoon and soon was blow lug at rate never known here before.
 Houses were crushed and their occupants killed. Roofs were wrenohed off the more substantial buildings, and the loss to tho stores by the rain which followed the wild rush of winds Is very heavy.
 Out on the water the clements battled until no one knows how badly shipping fared. The loss of life must be heavy, for few craft could weather such storm.
 The people here and at Brunswick had warning of the coming storm and took to flight. But for this the loss of life would have been terrible. Whole rows of houses are wrecked, and everything in the path of the wind went down.

The vote of some of the eastern states was as follows.

The affirmative vote was made us thus: Democrats, 1l2: Republicans, IS; Populists, g. The negative vote was: Democrats, l09; Repu blicans. 110. A comparison of seven separate votes taken shows that at no time did the antisilver men have less than 77 clear majority.
 Their greatest strength was shown on the l1 to amendment, when the vote stood 100 to AO-an antisilver majority of 40. On the final passage of the bill the antis mustered the same strength as this, but owing to desperate rally of the silver men their majority was cut down to l30
 One of the surprises of the day was the lack of strength of the 20 to amendment, which was supposed to be the strongest proposition that the silver men had in re- serve. AS a matter of fact 1t was weaker by three votes than the l6 to proposition, and the majority against 1t was 10l. The vote that gave the silver men the greatest comfort was that on the re-enactment of the Bland-Allison act, and on this amend ment they succeeded In reducing the ma jority against them to the lowest figure of the day-77-the vote standing: Yeas, 18e; nays, 213
