 John W. Griggs has been elected gov ernor of New Jersey with a Republican plurality of 20. 900 votes. This is his tris umph in a state which In the pr eceding election for governor gave plurality of 1895 to Werts. the Democratic nominee. In the counties considered doubtful, if not positively Democratic, Mir. Griggs ran ahead of his ticket.
 The Republicans swept the state in a way that surprised even the most san guine members of the party. The normal Democratic counties of Union, Middlesex, Morris and Sussex gave Republican ma. jorities and returned Republican assem- blymen.
 The next assembly will contain an over whelmipg Republican majority of its 50 members, and the senate also will be Re4 publican. There will be at least 40 Repub- lican members of the ass smbly.
 Hudson county, the home of the Dem- ocratio candidate for governor. gave him handsome plurality of about 6, 900, but Essex, in which Is the city of Newark, and the rural districts, vent heavily against him.
 The following shows the plurality re- ceived in each county by the respective candidates for governor:

Pope. as he tells ns, was the unfortu- nate possessor of Q Hcrazy carcass, " and though when leaving London he bids farewell to Luxurious lobster nights" it is probable that sober, stu dious days" were more to the taste of one who had to make constant study of his health. When in town, however, he was "as sure to be in 9 hustle as porpoise in storm.'a In early life he was fond of riding, and in I715 jour- neyed with bis friends Arbuthnot and Disney from London to Bath on horse back, their luggage being on very small scale, for Arbuthnot, the com mandcr in chief of the party, allowed but shirt and cravat to each traveller.
 The following year he describes his pursuits in letter to the sisters Blount :: II write an hour or two every morning, then ride out a-hunting Cat Ctrencester). eat heartily, talk tender sentiments with Lord B. or draw plans for houses and gardens. open avenues, cut grades, plant frs, contrive water works-all very fine and beautiful in our own imaginations

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.
 The early settlers in America paid no attention toward protecting themselves against fire, and the different colonies had grown into fair sized communities with several industries we'll established before any steps were taken in that di- rection. About the earliest mention of a definite method of fire protection was made at Salem, Mass. in 1644, when each inhabitant was ordered to be sup piled with ladder under penalty of fine of shillings. These ladders were undoubtedly made in Salem or in the immediate vicinity, and one might readily say that hero began an Ameri- can industry that is now carried on so extensively in many places and under a multitude of different forms. In 1648 four fire wardens were appointed in New York city. These men passed g law to fine every one whose chimney became foul or whose house was burned by his own earelessness. The money so ob- tained was to be used in the purchase of ladders, hooks and buckets. These were not provided, however, until some years later.
 Boston also took steps in this direc tion, and on the first day of the twelfth month of 1653, or, by the modern method of computation, on Feb. 1, 1854, the following entry is found in the town records:
 "The selectmen have power and lib- erty hereby to agree with Joseph Jynks for Ingins to Garry water in Case of fire if they see Cause soc to doe "-John G. Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

Statehood Wins, and Republican onscers
 Are Elected.
 OGDEN, U. T., Nov. 6.-Raports mostly from railroad towns show small Repub. hcan majorities. Salt Lake Park City and Ogden have elected Republican oity tickets without n doubt. The indications are that the territorial legislature will be Republican by a. small majority, insuring the election of Republican senators. Al len (Rep. ), for representative, is probably defeated by Roberts (Dem.) by small margin. The state officers arc still in doubt and the maiorities will not be largo.
 Tho vote against the constitution has been large in the cities, but not sufficient to defeat statehood. Populists were ao- tive, but their-v vote was not up to expecta- tions No Prohibition vote.
 In general the results obtainahle are disoouraging to the Republicans as oom- pared with the walkover conceded to them a week ago.

Mrs Vanderbilt did not approve of the suggestion, and there was no vocal music. Instead the music was furnished by the New York Symphony orchestra of 60 pieces, personally conducted by Walter Damrosoh.
 The orchestra was stationed in the north gallery. An hour before the oero- mony the first number of the musical pro gramme MT. Damrosch had arranged was rendered. Following that Dr. Warren played a solo on the great double organ of the church, From then on, until the bri- dal party arrived, orchestra and organ sl- ternated.
 Tho ceremony was celebrated by Bishop Potter, assisted hy Bishop Littlejohn of Brooklyn and Dr. Brown. Tho Brooklyn bishop baptized the bride in infancy.

Virginia

RICHMOND, Nov. 6.-The election in Virginia, which was for half the senate (20) and the whole membership of the house Q00), has brought about some sur prises. Tho indications are that the Dem ocrats have lost half dozen senatorial districts and a number of house districts which had been counted upon as safe. There is, however, no question that the Democrats have the legislature, and pos sibly two thirds of the two houses. The issue upon which the contest was fought was for a change in the present election laws. It is said that among the Democrat io candidates for the house is Dan Lee of Stafford, a brother of General Fitz Hugh Lee, who was defeated for the same place in the contest of 1881.
