everything. At o'clock they con- ceded the probable defeat of Ming for treasurer and Thoman for marshal. but the bases of their claims and concessions were equally vague. Republicans claimed nothing, con ceded nothing. but steadily continued in the business of getting out voters. It was feared, though, that the major ity of l50 claimed by THE REPUBLICAN would De greatly reduced if not entirely wiped out when it WAS discovered that many workingmen were engaged so far from the city as to make their presence almost impracticable.
 Both sides had chartered every public vehicle in town and adorned it with placards and streamers. These were kept busy from early in the morning making things easy for voters. Late in the afternoon the Republicans began bringing in their voters who were en- ployed without the city within con venient distance. So industrious were the efforts of both parties that when the polls closed the vote on the heads of the tickets showed that of the registered vote of 766, all had been cast but IA votes. Rejected and defective ballots cut the number down further. The fight opened like battle and quickly centered about the second ward, where the contest between Lewis and McNeill for the council was in progress. This ward had been carefully canvassed and was found to be on the face of the canvass slightly Democratic. The Dem ocrats here inaugurated a system of challenging which was afterwards adopted in the other wards. MT. Mo. Neill himself supervised the cballeng- ing and nearly every voter was com pelled to run disagreeable gauntlet. This mode of Democratic warfare con. stunned so much time and threatened to become so em barrassing that Judge Is- rael of the Republican central committee procured an arrangement by which the contested votes might be submitted to a supplemental c anvass. The votes at last began to fall more slowly, like the last shots of battle, and at sundown ceased altogether.
 Even now the Democrats were conf dently claiming everything. The third ward was counted upon to make Re. publican disaster overwhelming.
 l While the preliminary count of the
 ballots in this ward was going on, word
 was brought from the second ward that
 the first thirty ballots gave MoGihon a
 majority of ten. This was dampening
 but the mighty third was depended
 upon to make things right. Upon the heels of this distressing information
 from the second ward, report came from the first that Monihon was lead
 ing. Similar intelligence arrived from
 the fourth, but still the third was ex
 pected to save the day.
 At the beginning of the count Demo \ cratic hope vanished, and this strong 3 hold of Democracy was found to hay, : been in greater degree contributor,
 to the land slide than any other ward ? The vote, subject to revision, which ] can have no other effect then to increas c the majority, since large number o e the ballots in dispute, but not counted :. were Republicans, IS as follows:

New Use for Natural Gas.

The possibilities of natural gas evil
IDENTIFY have not yet been exhausted.
The latest use which would seem to
have been found for it is the making
of ice, the idea being to simply expand
the gas from its usually high initial
pressure down to or near that of the
atmosphere, nature having done all
the preliminary work of compression
and cooling, making the gas ready to
absorb heat from its surroundings i'm
mediately upon being released from
continent, All that would be neces.
sary would be suitable coils or cham
bers into which the gas could he al
lowed to expand. 1t has been calcu-
lated out quite plausibly, in fact, that
with an ordinary gas well, furnishing
$500, 900 cubic feet per day, some
thing like fifty tons of ice could be
turned out daily at an expense of
about fifty cents n ton. The gas
loses nothing but its pressure, retain
ing all It's calorific value, and hence,
all its virtue for rolling mill and glass
works use, for heating brick, lime and
pottery kilns, and the endless number
of other furnaces to which 1t is adapted.
In a certain way, therefore, the gas
may be regarded as affording some
thing for nothing-a desideratum to
which many in this world are con-
stantly looking forward. st. Louis

California will pay dearly in the
end for the bounty of SIS granted for
every coyote scalp presented to the
State Treasurer, predicts the New
York Tribune. This bounty law was
passed to protect sheep, but it has
been costly. Last year over $500, 900
was paid out, and this year it is esti-
mated that $3.50, 900 will be needed to
satisfy the claims. AS the coyotes live
on jack rabbits, the slaughter of one
pest will simply lead to the increase
of the other.

Chicago. Sept. 25.-The arguments in
the case against President Debs and
other officials Of the American Railway
union were begun today in the United
States court, EX-Dlstrlct Attorney MI
christ opened the argument for the gov
orlmenL occupying the morning and
afternoon session During the speech
of Mr. Milchust he referred to the tele.
graphic correspondence between the
American Railway VI on officials and
J. N Scale. superintendent OF the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, In which tho
latter asked that the boycott against
his road be declared off for the reason
that the company carried no Pullmans,
which request was granted by Debs.
Mr.. Milchrlst commended that II showed
concluslvely that Debs exercised con-
troll over the boycott. He read tele-
grams sent by Debs urging the men to
stand firm
"And then" declared the speaker,
"this arant coward Debs wrote n beg
glng letter To the general managers
praying for mercy"
Mr.. Bancroft, counsel for the Santa
Zee road, closed the arguments for the
day in an attempt to show that the
American Railway unioa had paid no
attention to the rules OF the courts and
that II had fomented trouble In al pos
sble ways.
Mr.. Bancroft will resume his argu-
ment tomorrow.
