Rockland Me-. Dec. ia mineral
strongly resembling coal has just been
found upon the farm of J. X. Annis in
Simonton. Rockport. Mr.. Annis came
upon It while turning up some ground for
next springs cultivation. He tried several
pieces in his stove and it burned in eX-
actly the same manner as coal. Several
specimens have been sent away to be
tested and the result is awaited with
curiosity. There appears to be quite a
vein and should it prove to be coal Mr.
Annis will have struck it very rich.

Rumor That tho Sale Will No stopped by In-
Junction Proceedings.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 31.-An Is in readiness for
the sale of the property Of the Union Pacific to-
morrow. About all those who participate di.
rectly in the transaction arrived in Omaha to-
day. The leading capitalists and bust
ness men who came here for that purpose
are Winslow 8. Pierce, the New York attorney
who represents tho reorganization committee,
and who will make the bids of that organiza-
ton; Oliver w. Mink and Oliver Ames Of
Boston, and Mr.. Fitzgerald Of New York.
1t now looks as IL the Sage syndicate
will not have a representative on the

There Is one question. however, that evidently
bothers the representatives OF the ReorgAniza-

the possibility. That is, the runor that the sale
will be stopped by injunction proceedings at the
request OF the Sage syndicate.
There is talk in railroad circles here, and has

CTS SIT IN MELANCHOLY.
Salaries Stop This Week and No Chance at the
Once.

The last Sunday before the election was q
melancholy day at the Git headquarters. Few
mon were there. Some were melancholy to
think that in another week they would be lost
and forgotten and could no longer get their
names Sin do pape." Others were melancholy
at the thought that salaries will stop now.
Among these was young Boss Clark, whose sal
airy has been $50 q week, and perhaps q COM
mon cause of blueness for the Cts was tho real
ization that their cause was on its last legs,
and that none OF those 10000 jobs at tho dis.
position of the Mayor about which they have
talked SO much will como to them. The only
truly philosophical young person was Jeenls
Weynolds. Jcoms doesn't care much now
what happens. He knows that Seth, IL elected,
won't give him a job, else why had he been do
prived of all temporal power in the middle of
the campaign and relegated to the position of
spiritual adviser TO the Women's Municipal
League. Besides, he still has his So, 500 job of
purvcyinG philanthropy on the east side.
The only active part of the headquarters
was the Press Bureau; which Poet Glider has
In charge. From that all day came the rattle
of the typewriter which was grinding out col
umns for the cdifcation Of the masses this
morning. Some highly edifying stuff was
ground Z, out; There w pos g long 9Tid tisquisition on
things thH S'ts ab %atoht sho election eSHt d iSErw iald h %na
drawn up in the City Club. He assures tho
public that there ID no danger that Mr.. Wey-
nolds's wascally wobb5rs will thwart the free
expression of the public will by a corrupt con.
sp!racy."
He also warns the w~ascally wobbers that
although a watcher may be mild and gentle
manly In manner, IL Is not always safe for q
dishonest election officer to count too much on
outward appearances."
Put the greatest scheme OF the Cts work
comes from that remarkable.young man, Mr..
ireble Tucker. He, has enrolled In his SER
vice what he calls his "Mercuries," or vote
chasors." These Mercuries are to drum up
votes on bicycles. They will go to the house Of
a voter and without more ado make him sit on
the handle bar and carry him to q table, 100
feet away from the polls and there turn him
over TO q committee, who viii make a last APP
will wear a badge telling what no 10, and 1t win
be ueeless for a citizen to object to q ride on
the handle bars.
Low viii mako no speeches to-day. He
will retire from tho turmoil of tho campaign
and recon slider his resignation from the Presi-
dency of Columbia University.

THE VOTE FOR TRACY.
Hepusliean City ommitte Puts n at SOO,.
900. Carrying Every Borough.

vVo' Sarr9inE kVery borough.
Chairman ouige of the Republican City Com.
mitteo made this statement last night:
Tit Republican City Committee confidently
anticipates the election of Gen. Tracy and each
OF tho Republican borough tickets.
IL believes that tho vote for Henry George In
the boroughs OF Manhattan and tho Bronx will
considerably exceed the vote of the Citizons'
Union. 1t Is absolutely confident that Seth
Low will not carry a single Assembly district
In the present city of New York, and tho only
one where there Is any real contest between
Tracy and Low il the Twenty-ninth district,
which Tracy will carry over Low by q full
1000 votes. The Republican ticket will win in
the following Assembly districts In the present
city of New York: The Fifth, Eighth, Tenth,
Nineteenth, Twenty. first, ..Iwenty. third, Twen-
ty.ffth, Twenty.sevonth, Twenty. ninth. Thirty
first, Thirty. fourth and Thirty fifth. 1t will
probably. also win in the Eleventh, Thirteenth,
Twenty.sixth and Thirtieth. The ratio of
votes as between Low and Tracy will DO SO to
l. Tho majoriIies by which Gov. Black do
feated Porter last year will DO just about the
majorities by which Tracy will defeat Van
Wyck. In the borough Of Brooklyn Tracy
will beat Low 2 to l.
We expect to poll 49, 900 votes for Tracy in
New York and the Bronx, 10000 In Brooklyn,
10000 in Queens and 5000 In Richmond, and
we expect that vote to carry with 1t Q plurality
in each borough. The claims Of the Citizens
Union are moonshine; they are without form
and void. The claims of Tammany Hall are
based on the theory that the George vote has
been disslpated. III has not. 1t has been con.
solidated moro firmly than ever.
