AMONG THE VOTERS.
Notes of Incidents in Various CITY
Districts.

Down in the Twenty-eighth the Burns
cohorts had entered the Kelly stronghold
determined to win, and there was a gen.
eral impression very shortly after the polls
opened that they would. They were
everywhere. and they worked as if their
very lives depended on il. Where they
came from was a conundrum to the Oldest
inhabitants of the district. Even the
young fellows who bad played tag around
Kelly's corner since early boyhood were
completely in the dark as to their identity.
The ma ority of them didn't belong there
and didn't have the right TO vote, but they
voted and repeated and voted again. They
slOgged when their rights were questioned,
and al O'Clock the Kelly-CTimmins crowd
had thrown up the sponge.
1t was hard to tell till along in the after
noon al which of the polling places, 1o2
Folsom, where the conflict was raging the
fiercest. Trouble began at earh place the
moment the polls opened. There were
nine staiwsrt policemen at each place, but
it kept them busy clearing the sidewalks
and keeping the opposing challengers from
eating up the voters, so that they had no
time to attend To the scraps and set-tos,
which were generally adjourn ell around
the nearest corner. 1t soon became evil

sinful career and tagged on TO the line

On Folsom street things were different.
There were any number Of one-eyed men

axiom on the fat-are pretty active and
pretty tough. There was an eX-priZe-
fighter or TWO, under the leadership of
Australian Jimmy Ryan, and they upper
cut and cross countered on the objection
able Kelly men spotted by the one-eyed.
In spite of the terrific front presented by
the invaders the Kelly supporters rallied
strongly to the support of their DeighbOT
and the result was battle royal until the
time the polls closed.
Challenger after challenger gave out and
was replaced by fresh material; man after
man voted, and hardly one stuck his head
IN the door of Ed Haughy's cobbler-shop
TO vote but WAS directly questioned. The
Burns challenges stuck IN many instances,
butthe general impression seemed to be
thatnone of Kelly's did.
SO they voted aud challenged from in
the morning till o'clock at night, but not
once did the indefatigabie repeater give
out, and not once aid the line have less
than fifty voters in it.
A few doors below Fremont street at the

Ak AND SLEDGE.
Ruin Wrought in Chinese
Gambling Dens.
EscoIa's Merry Men Skater the
Shrines of Chance Leaving a
Trail of Splinters.

Sergeant Escola and his posse descended
dens and lottery games of Chinatown last
night.
Right and left they welded their axes
and sledges. leaving behind a trail of
splInters and miscellaneous collection of
shattered doors and tables. broken idols
and deoris OF tan games.
The Chinese, who were thus rudely
treated, followed tie marauders with male
dictions and insults until the work Of
destruction was complete.
The police began their raid on Dupont
street, where a score of games. each pro-
tected by a lookout. were running. AS
they nesred the object of attack the care

In Ross alley, after destroying the fur

only consolation under the circumstances.
Evidently the police had expected
trouble in this district, as eight men were
stationed al one place and seven at the
other. Gangs OF young ioughs from other
parts of town were In demand. with Harry
Maynard as handy man, at Valencia and
Twenty-6rst streets. Joe McAullffe,
Democrat and pugiiSt. looked after the
Spreckels end of the line at the polling
place on Valencia street.
There was probably as much fun at the
poiliDg-place on the corner of Duncan and
Church streets in the Thirty-sixth Assem-
bly, District as anywhere else during the
day. 1t was a case of Colonel Burns of
course, but the cOnstabulary had not been
properly posted evidently, as they did not
at all times recognize the supporters of the
Police Commissioner.
In the first place JabeZ Swan. the artist
and Benjamin ii. Wieners. a politician CT
the district, called to pay their respects to
the parties in authority. The moment
after they had refreshed themselves in the
grocery at the corner of Twenty-seventh
and Church streets Jack Welsh of the
PotreTo showed mp with at least twenty
healers. They began to vote the Burns
ticket and were getting along quite well
until Sergeant Libby objected to the re-
peatiug process. Then trouble arose and
in the fracas that followed Policeman Gil

tied their votes in accordance with the
programme.
In pollIng-place 2 OF the Thirty-sixth
District there was no trouble whatever.
DIR. SOphrr, who hopes to be the Republi-
can nominee for Coroner, was putting in
his best ticks for the popular end OF it.
The two polling-places OF the Thirty
seventh Assembly District were located at
Cough and Oak streets, and Devisadero
and OAK. at the latter place magnifi-
cent fight was put up against the Burns
combination by such men as L. E. Nc
Carthy. Charles Easion. John Blom aud
J. II. Effinger. Tin Nunau, a well-known
Democratic politician and an employee of

ALL IN HIS NAME.
The Church to Conquer
the World.
United Presbyterian SynodicaI Con-
u ference Discusses the Binding
Obligations of the Church.

at last nights meeting of the synodieal
conference at the First United Presbyte-
rian Church the topic chosen was "The
Church and Her Obligations" There was
a good attendance, despite the rainy
weather, Rev. j. C. Nevin of Los Angeles
presiding.
The Rev. S. A. Kyle of Cambridge. N. Y,
read the the scripture lesson, being part of
the sixteenth chape r of ST. Matthew. and
Rev. a. n. Judson of Beatrice, Nebr., de-
livered the prayer.
The topic was divided into three heads,
Rev. John A. Henderson of Omaha taking
for his subject 1.-The Church's Obligation
to Her Lard." He held that this could be
summed up in the general duty of thinking
of him as the absolute Master. Jesus was
the Messiah of the Lord, and the church
was he Messiah OF Jesus.
"Ihe mastership of Jesus" lie said, sis
one of the most marvellous things in rev.
citation or creation. The assurance that
we can have his presence with us, accord
Ing to his promise, Is more TO us in the
way of stimulus for future work than 1t is
possible for us to get from any sight by
the eyes-from any pledge that has
already been given"
City, Pa. spoke on 1.-THE Obligation of the
Church 10 Herself" He stated that ia the
first place it must be true to Itself; Sec
ond, that it must be kind and cordial To
sister churches, to show the loneliness of
the Gospel and the meekness of Christ
and thirdly. it owes it to itself to accom-
pliSh the mission for which it was sent
to take this world in his name for the
Lord and for the cross"
1.-THE Church's Obligation to the World"
was summed no by the Rev. E. b. Graham,
editor of the Midland, Omaha, Nebr
'The church and the world are antago-
ristic." he said. THE world has triad to
crush out the church and has failed miser-
ably. The church intends to conquer the
world and will succeed glorously. Every
thing gives this assurance. Where on
earth is there any project so grand, any
project so sure OF success as the project Of
the Christian church conquering the whole
word?"
This. the speaker announced, was the
duty of the church 10 the world. and this
was what it was doing, and proving the
advances being made he showed the march
of Christianity from the dispersion of the
800 on thes Sea of Galllee until the present
and the still onward and upward march.

The strike of the skilled workmen of the
Pullman Palace Car Company is described
by the Philadelphia Press as an attempt on
the part of the strikers 20 shoulder all the

WAGES OF wEAyEns.

A correspondent writes that the average
weekly wages of weayers in Manchester,
England, 1868. is full as much as the ave-
rage TO-DAY in Massachusetts,. The figures
We gave for foreign wages in our issue OF
Thursday are for 1892, before Cleyeland's
election; before the financial depression
In this country: before the threat OF a
revolutionary revision of the protective
tariff by the Democratic party In congress
threw men out of employment. closed out
manufacturing plants and cut down wages
severely all over the country.
OF course, the comparison between for
eign wages for 1892 should be made with
American wages in 1s92, before the protec-
tive tariff received "black eye" and
financial depression and the consequent
cut in American wages produced the pres
ent condition OF affairs.
So far as population Is concerned our
correspondent is equally careless. Man
chester contains about 500, 900 persons;
Boston about 10000. Massachusetts, has
about 100000 people and about 1000
square miles OF country.
OF course, the matter Of population does
not dull the point of the argument. 1t is
simply question of fact whether in our
competitive industries the Massachusetts,
bureau of labor statistics reported in 1897
that in the Same industries the English
operative was paid between 30 and 60 per
cent. less wages while Ii cost him IL per
cent. less to live than 1t does in Massachu-
sets. This labor commission is probably
rs good authority for is92 as the personal
recoslections of our correspondent.

violent measures taken to cut OF the food
