BOTH CLAIM IT.
The State of Alabama Elects q
Set of New Officers.
Popuiists Arc Claiming the Election of
Kolb as Governor-The Democrats Sure
OF Oates Success-The Latest
Returns.
ALABAMA VOTES.

BIRMGNGHAM, Ala, Aug. Alabama
voted for state officers on Monday.
Returns began coming in as early as 8
o'clock, and from some points it will
take two or three days before the exact
returns can be secured. The trial of the
Sayre election law, which is similar to
the Australian system, proved success
full and only in a few places was there
any bitches. The country beats seem
to have gone for Kolb, while all the
cities of any size have returned ma
jorities for Oates. The cities of Birm-
ingham, Montgomery and Mobile, the
largest cities in the state, will give
majorities for Oates.
AS early as o'clock the Kolb lead
ers began claiming Kolb's election by
$4,000. The democrats, on the other
hand, had but little to say, feeling as
sured of Oates election by about 90, 900.
In south Alabama, according to re-
turns coming in, democrats have made
gains except in Mobile county, where
voting was light. In eastern Alabama
Oates made gains, while Kolbs only
gains are to be noted from north Ala
bama.
There is no doubt that the legisla-
ture will be democratic according to
returns now in. Lowndes, one of the
black-belt counties, gives Oates about
5000 majority, while in 1892 it gave
Jones about 1,5OO majority. The ad-
vice of republican leaders to negroes
in that county not to register or vote
seems to have been disregarded.
h The Kolbites claim that bulletins
| being received are not official, and
| that if they are true Kolb can spare
southern Alabama and still be 10, 900
! ahead. The vote will be as large as in
! 1892, with gains for democrats in many
| southern and western counties. Union
! Springs gave Oates 1,14s and Kolb s.
, Three-fourths of the cities have re-
turned majorities for Oates, while
country districts have done the reverse.
AT midnight it looks as if Oates will
only get $4,000 majority in the state.
The Kolbites are jubilant and still
| claim victory OF $4,000.
Helena was scene of difficulty late
in the afternoon at the polls. Irwin
/ Lambert and Horace Riddle had a
dispute. Lambert was stabbed in the
back and is fatally injured and Riddle
| had both ears bitten off.

STRIKERS GO TO work.
Estimated That Over 1000 Men In Chi
caCo VIII Lose Their Jobs.

CaEO VIII Lose Their Jobs.
CHICAGO, Aug. T.-On all roads except
the Santa Fe and Eastern Illinois
striking employees presented them
selves Monday as applicants for rein
statement. The great majority found
that their places had been filed and
were told that there was no work for
them. In some instances the strikers
were informed that they would not be
received back under any consideration,
but the roads which have adopted this
policy are in the minority. Many of
the old men who had walked out when
the strike was ordered, and who were
tod that there was no work for
them, were taken aside and quiet
ly informed that in week there
would be vacancies in the yards and
to cIn again. On information fur
nished by general managers, general
superintendents and division superin-
tendents of the roads with terminals
in Chicago, the estimate of former en-
ployes of the railroads in Chicago,
who struck and who have lost their
situations because new men were
brought in to take their places, who
will be retained unless removed for
| cause, places the number at over 1000.
The General Managers association
has list of the names of the men who
took part in the car burning and up
setting and of the leaders of the
strike. 1t was said by superintend
ent Monday that the general managers
| had decided that not one of the men
| whose names were on the blacklist
| would cro in find nr,n nv m
| any railroad in Chicago.
| About 1000 men applying for work
at the stock yards were sent away
| Monday. The Switchmen's associa-
tion took charge of the switch engines
in use about the yards, the old men be-
ing placed over the new ones to give
instructions to the latter,
| CHICAGO, Aug. 7.--Gov. Altgeld has
| ordered the troops at Chicago relieved
from duty this morning. The troops
| relieved are three companies of the
First infantry, on duty at Pullman,
and four companies of the Second in
fantry, on duty at stock yards. This
order ends the strike services of the
Illinois national guards.
The American Railway union will as
sist the city in the investigation of the
claims of the railroad companies for
damages growing out of the labor
riots and the prevalence of mobs.
Information is being furnished to the
corporation counsel and the mayor
and the city, as well as the American
Railway union, expect to prove that
in many instances the destruction of
property was accomplished by men
employed by the railroads and the
General Managers association. A
double object is sought by the Ameri-
can Railway union, as they hope not
only to show that the work was done
by the railroads themselves, but that
in no case was it done by members or
representatives of the union.
Vice President Wickes, of the Pull.
man company, says that the company
will not entertain the proposition from
the strikers to return to work if the
company will remit the past due rents
of houses in Pullman.

The Pavilion of the Philadelphia Club De-
stroyed-Firemen Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. THE Phila-
delphia league baseball club is the
third to lose its pavilion and field
furnishings this season. A fierce fire,
favored by strong breezes, wiped the
wooden buildings out Monday in Il
twinkling and caused great loss
in the vicinity. The loss of
the Philadelphia club will be
about $4,000 and the insurance
is only $4,000. The Omnibus company
loses $4,000 and several dwellings
were damaged to the extent of $500
Seven firemen were injured while try
ing to save their engine, No. 80, from
the fire, the blazing grand stand hav-
ing toppled over upon the engine and
nearly destroyed it. 1t is believed the
fire was caused by lighted cigarette
or cigar being left in dressing
room by some workmen who had been
making repairs early in the morning.
The fire began at the Fifteenth and
Huntingdon street end of the stand
and, favored by strong breeze, blew
west to the omnibus stables.

Toilette.

Odds and Ende of the Modern Woman
Toilette.
In order to keep the extravagantly
wide rev ers in place, little slivers of
whalebone are stitched into the edges.
very convenient and desirable way
of fixing these edges is to take thin
whalebone, soak it for twenty-four
hours in warm water and put it be-
tween the Innings and stitch it firmly
in place. The machine needle will
penetrate the bone without the slight
est difficulty. Then press until dry
and there is body given to the fabric
that can be obtained in no other way.
There is good deal of talk about
new style of whalebone which is made
by soaking leather in some liquid and
drying it under pressure. This is all
very well for some purposes, but most
expert dressmakers soak the whale
bones before putting them into the
waist, and stitch them through and
through. Arranged in this way they
never slip and are every way more de-
sirable. But those of leather cannot
be so treated.
Fanciful arrangements of turned
over collar and revers are among the
| new things. Some of these collars are
cut in deep points, others are in deep
scallops, others are overlapped like
shingles on the edges and Others have
the points turned back anG faced with
some contrasting color
A new and pretty bodice for simple
wear is made of white India silk. 1t is
made with the outside shirred in at the
waist-line over a fitted lining. The
neck is cut somewhat low, and there
are full rutfies or ruchings of the silk
and tiny edge of soft lace.
Petticoats of black-and-white striped
silk have founces of some bright color,
as peachblow, yellow, cherry or hello
trope, and these are drapta with
| founces of black net or silk null.
Shoulder ruffles are less popular than
heretofore, Many thin dresses are
made this way, but heavier materials
show fewer trimmings of this sort.
Ties and cravats of null, tulle and
various gauzy fabrics are much liked.
The newest cravats have large rosettes
instead of loops.
silk petticoat recently ordered for
a bride is of hesvy white satin with
ruifies of embroidered chiffon, beauti-
full but expensive.
| Embroidered India muslins are again
in demand, and are made up with large
quantities of ribbon.
| Velvet ribbon belts with loops and
long ends are seen upon some of the
newest thin dresses.
A velvet cutaway coat is one Of tAa
latest nogelties.--N. Y. Ledger.

Secret Service Men Get Evidence Against
Eastern Connterfeiters.
New York, Aug. 7.-United States
secret service officers employed in the
big counterfeiting case are filing the
Office of the secret service bureau in
this city with paraphernalia with
which the band was producing spuri-
Gus wealth. The plant of the counter
feiters is situated on small farm at
Bethel, Conn. The latest arrest Is of
John w. Murphy, who has been
held for examination Friday. Sat
urday night lasv Lorenzo Hoyt,
brother of Russell Hoyt, already
under arrest, was arrested in Bethel,
Conn, where he is now held. De-
tectives have been searching the prem
ises where Lorenzo Hoyt lives for sew
eral days. They found $1,000 in one
package This was in $40 bank notes
with the Webster head and were
called good countcrfeits. They
had not, however, been put through
what is known as the coffee
coloring process. This gives the
spurious notes the appearance of
having been in circulation. There
had been found, also, lot of bills
that had been through the "coffee-col-
oring" process and were ready for use.
AT Hoyt's house at Bethel were found
all the plates, paper ink, red silk
thread and other articles used
in the manufacture of the spu-
rious money. The detectives are
now digging up the ground around
the Hoyt house to find the printing
press which is believed to be buried
Among the plates found were the back
and front plates and the United States
treasury seal for $40 on the Mys-
tic River national bank of Mystic
! River, Conn. The dies for $50
| gold coin of the 1892 series were
unearthed. None of the money from
these had been circulated A large
| quantity of the fibrous paper of which
bank notes are made was also seized.
1t is not known whether this paper is
made in Eng land or America. 1t may
be made some ewhere near the Hoyt
premises in Connecticut. 1t is an eX-
cellent imitation of paper used for
| bank notes.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 7.-On appli-
cation of Assignee Foster of the de-
funct Kent bank, w. w. Glea-
son, manager of the company, has
been appointed receiver of the
Warren Live Stock company, whose

about 1000 horses, $500 cattle,
10000 sheep and $4,000 acres of land.
Ex-senator Warren, the president of
the company, says that the last ship
ment of sheep netted only twenty nine
cents head over cost of shipment and
where such sheep formerly brought
over three dollars. The causes that
led up to the receivership are stated by
Mr.. Warren to be the free-wool scare,
the financial stringency and the labor
troubles of the past weeks.

WOMAN'S WEAPONS.
The Power of Speech and the Ability to
Dress Tastefully.

Of course the tongue is a weapon,
but not so sharp weapon as silence.
A woman who can hold her tongue can
hold any other thing; but one who
wears her heart on her sleeve will let
all other things slip through her
fingers. Silence is self-preservation at
every point. Too often ready, sharp
tongue is fatal gift to woman, and
men fear it, for it finds out the rawest
spot in their natures and wounds them
there. AS for bad tongue it is whetted
on bad heart; and women who will
ingly say words crueler than blows
have the weapon of an assassin. Ma
ture may well shut in the tongue be-
tween the lips and behind barriers of
sharp teeth, for if it be slanderous it is
weapon given by the devil and set on
fire of hell. The property of such a
weapon is to be cowardly.
Dress is a legitimate womanly wea-
pom, but men have as great a claim to
it, and it has played part in human
history of far deeper significance than
either vanity or love of supremacy.
Some Daniel will yet come to judge the
centuries by the way in which they
have dressed themselves, and in the
meantime women will use it in all it's
changes and splendors as the insignia
| of their royalty. For the women who
hold themselves superior to dress are
| awful creatures, and stand out among
well-dressed women as sermons on
slovenliness--a position which nullifies
every other charm and leaves them de-
| fenseless.-Ladies' Home Journal.
Etiquette of the Hand.
A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance she is max
ing. She may or may not shake hands
with a lady who is introduced, but she
must not give her hand to strange
man. A low bow is the elegant form
of salutation. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man, no
matter how long she is acquainted
with him, unless she respects and ad-
mires him. A gentleman never ex-
tends his hand to a lady first. To do
SO would be presumptuous and subject
him to snubbing. A man shows his
breeding the way he eats his dinner; a
woman shows her breeding the way
she receives people. Chicago Tribune
Diamond PolIshes Diamond.
The art of cutting and polishing dia-
monds is very old one in the east, and
the early jewellers of India and China
knew how to dress diamonds by means
of diamond dust long before Europeans
did. 1t was Belgian lapidary, one
Berguin, of Bruges, who accidentally
discovered in 1456 how one diamond car
be employed to polish another. 1t was
he who constructed the first polishing
wheel, wherewith by means of diamond
powder he could dress diamonds as wei
as other stones could be dressed by
