The fght in the Thirteenth ward for
the Republican nomination for the Of
flee of school controller waged by B. r.
Jayne on the one side and Charles 5.
Jacobs, the present incumbent, on the
other, was tha hottest primary that
ever took place i'm the ward, and it is
among the possibilities that the courts
will yet BE- called upon to decree who
won it,
The vote announced by the vigilance
committee last night gives Jayne a ma
jority of three. Jacobs, however, claims
that there were irregularities in the
count, and that when these are set
straight he will have a majority of one.
The alleged irregularities occurred i'm
tha First district. and consisted in the
vigilance committee refusing to record
four Jacobs" ballots which had "rhir-
tCenth ward. Second district" and the
names Of the Second district viligance
committee and election officers printed
on thsm.
The Jacobs mon made a vigorous pro-
test against the action, but the vigil
ance committee held that the ballots
were Invalid and could not be induced
to count them. After a long wranglo,
hOwev.r. the disputed ballots were
placed in the box with the others for
preservation.
WILLIAM TRIPT ARRESTED.
Another vote which the Jacobs men
claim was irregular was one cast by
William Trtpp in the First district. 1t
was claimed that Tripp lives in Clark's
Summit, and he was challenged wh,n
he went into the booth. He sWore that
he was qualified and his ballot was re-
ceived Later he was arrested at the
instance of a. Il. stevens, a Jacobs
man. and held to bail in the sum of
5000 by Alderman Bailey to answer at
court the charge of making false
oath to an election board. Common
Councilman r. B. Jackson, Jayne
man, became his bOndsman The vote
by districts was as follows:

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The new designs
be used for all the greenbaek issues of
the government, namely, 81, 81, s., $40. $50,
$50, S1G0. S5CG and s1,0G0. A 81 silver certii--
cate will be recognized from 81 United
States note not only by the text Of the bill,
but by the color OF the seal and the NUM-
Der which are printed by the surface pro-
cess. For instance the seal and the num-
Der on the United States note will be red,
the seal and the number on the silver Certi-
fcate clue and the seal and the number on
the treasury note some other positive color.
easily distinguishable from either blue OF
red. This will enable the accounting Off
TO recognize the character Of the note, al
though the general design will be the same
for all three, and when all, most of
the paper money now in circulation, is
tired and placed under this plan, there Will
be but nine designs, whereas now we have
twenty-seven:
I believe that the people will become SO
much more familiar with these nine designs
than they are with the twenty now in
circulation that the difficulty Of successfully
passing a counterfeit will be increased very
materially. The design will be more in ac
cordance with the conventional American
banknotes than were the silver certificates
recently issued, but it will be the effort Of
artistic as possible under the circumstances.
Il is the desire CT the treasury officials and
the bankers of the country &c have an ex-
panse Of exposed paper. a plainly engraved
text and large counter number.

plicity and uniformity they are su-
perior to anything hitherto turned out
by the bureau Of engraving.
Beginning with the small and hum
BILE 81 note, which will be the de-
nomination most familiar TO the major
fty of the people, this will be in ap-
pearauee one of the most patriotic of
bills. In the foreground will perch the
American eagle, bird whose wide
spread wings are a welcome sight to
every patriotic American citizen at any
time, and will be especially so when
seen On the new 81 bill. In the back
ground is the dome of the capitol, and
over all floats the stars and stripes
The design is an exceedingly pretty, as
we'll as a patriotic one.
The design fer the 81 bill has not yet
been quite completed, but this much
is known, that the most conspicuous
part of it will be a portrait of George
Washington in the lower center. Sup
porting the portrait of the father of
his country will be two partially
draped figures in a reclining attitude
This design is not unlike that of the
s. silver certificate now in use
The idea of the treasury officials hav-
ing been to reduce the twenty-seven
designs at present in circulation, con-
sisting of greenbacks, Sherman notes
and silver certificates, to as few de-
signs as possible, the simplest expedf-
ent has been resorted to of making all
bills of one particular denomination
alike. and making the difference be-
tween the 81 and 81 bill as marked as
possible, and the difference between
the S. and so bill and the other de-
nominations so plain that the design
alone will enable any one handling
money to recognize the various de-
nominations without further scrutiny.
But for the benefit Of bank clerks
and others who have to handle large
sums Of money in bills, another dis
tinctive difference will be made. which
will be so helpful to them as to make
the counting Of few million dollars
even more of pleasure than it has
been heretofore. The distinction will
be In the color of the seal, and IN the
marked coIoring of one of the large
figures. The eoIcrs have been chosen.

In those all-important but circum-
scribed circles of commercial life where
money is the chief commodity dealt in
and where those who handle it do so
behind locked steel doors and impreg-
nable cage work barriers, the above
statement regarding the new designs
for bank bills will be especially well
come. In exact proportion to the
amount of qualification the news will
afford the legitimate dealers in money
will be the unhappiness it will create
among those who tempt fate by cOun-
terfeitfng Uncle Sans currency. These
are the objects at which the treasury
department officials have been aiming,
and they have succeeded well, for ev-

necessity for the distinctive coIoring

CHICAGO, Dec. IA Baltimore spe-
cial to the Tribune says: The lengthy
contest of Robert w. Clark Jr., col
ored, for admission to the Maryland
School of Art and Design has been de-
ciCed against him. 1t was a vigorous
fight TO break down the color line at
this institution. Judge Richie dismiss
ed the petition for mandamus and
found against Clark on every point, de-
claring in substance that he could not
ask for such mandamus under the con-
stitution of the United States, under
the ordinance of the mayor and city
council, or under the contract of the
city with the Maryland institute.
Clark's counsel Immediately entered an
order of appeal. The case will be taken
to the court of appeals of Maryland.
1t may reach the United States supreme
court, as a question of Interpretation
of the constitution of the United States
is involved
Under its charter the institute claims
