TOWNSHIP CAST ONLY TWO VOTES.
Peculiar Circumstance Arising Out
of the Election In Kansas.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 29-According to
the official returns at the secretary of
states office there was one township IN
Kansas where only two votes were cast
at the recent election. 1t was Garfield
township, in Seward county. One Of
the voters cast straight republican bal
lot, while the other voted the populist
ticket straight, with the exception CT
county attorney. There was tie on all
other offices, and the candidates for
township offices cast lots to see VINO
would serve. Garfield township has 20
inhabitants, eight of whom are voters.
There are four populists and four re-
publicans.
On election day three of the populists
paired off with the three republicans, and
the six did not vote. The other republi-
can wanted to pair off with the remain
ing populist, but the latter would not 10
1t, because he had grudge against the
nominee of his own party for county at
torney, and said he wanted to vote for
the republican nominee. This necessitat-
ell the casting of two ballots, with the
result as stated above.
A regular voting precinct was main
tanned, however. the entire day, and five
of the eight voters received 81 each for
serving as judges and clerks of the cleo
ton.

AALTREATED BY MASKED ROBBERS.
Missouri Fruit Grower Threatened
With Fire and Treated Badly.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 29-F. w. Arm
hold, fruit grower living north of the
city, reports terrible experience with
masked robbers who entered his house at
an early hour in the morning. Mr.. and
Mrs. Arnhold were awakened, and found
three masked men in their bedroom.
The robbers covered them with pistols
and demanded to know where their
money was concealed Arnhold denied
that they had any money, and his wife
was too terrified to speak. The man and
woman were then dragged into their Gel
lar and were held there while one Of the
robbers went to the rooms above and
heated an iron poker to a white heat
and returned with 1t to the cellar. When
they threatened to apply this to Arm
holds naked feet he weakened and told
them where they could find what money
he had.
There was but $1S in the rancher's cash
and so angry were the robbers, who evil
IDENTIFY had expected big booty, that they
demolished much of the furniture in the
house before leaving. The Arnholds were
so badly frightened that they did no;
leave the house to notify the authorities
until morning.

at the conclusion that in view of his advanced
age, 1t would be unwise for him to crose the
Atlantic at this season Of the year, and 30. as
a tribute to his fellow-craftsmen on this side
OF the water, he has prepared the paper in
question, and which is now in the hands of the
general secretary of the society.
While its contents will not be made public
until the opening day of the convention, It Ia
| understood that, much Is known in this coun-
| try concerning the Bessemer process, 1t contains
number of facts hitherto unrevealed con-
corning the conditions surrounding the dlscov-
cry of the process, and other details which will
| be of profound interest to the world of me-
chanical engineering.
The annual address of the convention Ia to
| be delivered by the retiring president Professor
John Fritz of Bethlehem, Penn, and will deal

FOR PRACTICE WITH HEAVY GINS
First Artillery Regiment to Re sert
at Pensacola.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Nov. 2e.-It is rumor-
ca In military circles that troops of the
First artillery, now stationed at various
posts on the Gulf and Atlantic coast are
to be concentrated here for practice with
the modern heavy guns which will soon
be positioned on Santa Rosa island The
selection of site for the battery leaves
no doubt in the minds of military men
that Pensacola is to be heavily fortified
as rapidly as possible and that troops
need practice in the handling of guns.
This harbor is deemed by the military
men to be the best that could be selected
for the purpose. They have the open
gulf for target practice and at least 1000
men can be comfortably quartered at
Fort Barrancas and the navy yard

London, Nov. 29.-The Times CORE
spondent in Havana dwells at length up
on Captain General Weyler's failure to
cope with the rebellion. He adds:
ut is said that the present issue of
bank notes is to be withdrawn and a
number issued based on the value of sill
ver is to be substituted for $50, 100000 in
tended for the payment of troops. AS
there is no metallic reserve, it is safe to
predict that these notes will soon fall
to a purely nominal value"
