Columbus, Nov. 4.-The canvass of
the vote is in progress in the county
seats. The result will be awaited anx-
iously in the close counties and also
in the MariOn-Logan senatorial dis
trict. The democratic and republican
headquarters will be kept open to get
the official figures from the close coun-
ties. Some disputed counties are very
CLOSE, with plurallties on legislative
candidates of less than 100.
No further interest is taken in the
state ticket since complete unofficial
returns st the republican state head
quarters last night showed a republl-
can plurality in the state of over 26 1000.
Counting two doubtful representatives
from Summit county as democratic the
house stands IS republicans and 81
democrats. The only state senator in
dispute is in the Marion-Logan dis
trict, but the republicans confidently
claim the district and say that the
senate stands 19 democrats and II re-
publicans. This makes the legislature
consist of 75 republicans and 20 demo-
Gratis, with = majority of on joint
ballot for United States senator.
Chairman McCOnville claims that
the democrats have elected majority

the telephone company has offered TO per-

The First Telegraph Line.

The Campus wire," as the students
called it. was the thing which excited the
most wonderful speculation when Henry
was at Princeton. DR.. Edward Chippen
Of philadelphia, of the class of '65, states
that it ran along from Philosophical Hall,
by the front OF North College, among the
outer branches of some of the fine trees,
and then round the western end to Pro-
fessor Henry's house, which was west of
North College and south OF the Old Lii
brary and Recitation Hall. This wire was
the first in which the current was COM
the well at the professors house, the
other end being in the earth at Philosophi-
cal Hall.
Professor Henry often used the "Cam-
pus wire" in the presence of the students,
although he was not given to superiuous
experiments. He had an arbitrary code.
Ii he wanted his luncheon sent over he
worked his armature few times accord
ing to the code. Mrs. Henry received the
message. The students waited, and pres
emily 'Sam" would appear bringing the
precise articles ordered on tray covered
ith a napkin. This simple exhibition Of
what is now an everyday transaction was
then a source of wonder. This occurred
again and again before Morse telegraphed
between Baltimore and Washington, wi hch
was in the month of May, 1874.

The New Meteorological
Station on Mount
TamaI pals.

In the near future San Francisco will
have the luxury OF two kinds of weather
forecasts daily. Probably no city in the
United States other than this has ever en-
loyed this, so to speak, CHM attic am bidex-
terty- OF course the weather of San
Francisco has, time out of mind, been
supposed to be entitled to be typifed by
the simultaneous display. on the street.
OF sealskin sacque and parasol carried
by one and the same person, and every old
resident has been secretly pleased at this
evidence of our versatile City.
But few persons really have believed
that more than one set of meteorological
conditions has existed here at any one
hour of the day. The remainder, our
brave verbal STOW, has been set down as
entitled to be classed with the somewhat
racy humor OF the State, which, in early
days, said of certain street that it was
sim passable, not even iackassable." But
now forward comes Forecast Official Ham
mon to seriously assert that we often have
two sets OF phenomena running at once
over the Golden Gate.

Dutch and Low Dutch, su says Mr.. Ham

weather. These have SO intimate rela-
tions. one to the olner, that he has asked
and procured permission to observe them
simultaneously. "For instance" says Mr..
Bammon. when the west wind of sum.
mer is blowing on the level of the bay and
through the streets OF the City there is
very often cyclonic wind blowing from
the south at the summit OF Mount Tamal-
pals"

ignorant are more eager to inquire things

Some months ago Mr.. Harmon asked
Professor Moore the chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, to provide an
equipment of instruments similar 10 those
in use at the forecast station in his City,
TO be placed on the highest point of lofty
old Tamalpais, the warder of the hills of
Marin County. At the same time Mr..
Harmon, for the sake of giving Sar Fran
cisco the best weather service possible,
volunteered patriotically to give up his
vacation of one month, putting in his
time on the mountain for the public good.
He would not state the case this way if he
were to tell the story, but that is one of
the interesting facts in the case, and the
story could not be justly told without
mentioning it. Perhaps this evidence of
earnestness has influenced Professor
Moore to give his approval of the
early esta blishment of a station of the
Weather Bureau over the Golden Gate.
His consent has Just been officially re-
ceived by Mr.. Harmon, and little time
will be lost in getting the station into
actual operation.
II have been notified" said Mr.. Ham
mon yesterday, 'that the last OF the in
struments will be shipped from Washing
ton not later than August 13, and, there
fore, l think that the station on the noun

oughly broad gauge man. Professor
Davidson was up on Mount Tam alpais
some years ago engaged in the work OF the
Coast and Geodetic Survey and passed
| several days there. When he came down
from the mountain he made the recon-.

servations up there. At that time there
was no forecast station in San Francisco.
Nor was there any easy way to get upon

since by the creation of the railroad to

posed the idea. l suppose that life
would not have been as pleasant on the
mountain then as it might prove to be

for several years, in fact not un.n quite
recently. Since l have made recon-

San Francisco has worked for the station.

first mooted-and it looked to them some
years since that the project would be car

to build wagon road up to an elevation

POPtLISr CAUCUS.
Chairman Grant Talks of ElIsworth's
MuuiciDul Ills


The populi,ts of Ellsworth held their
caucus at Hancock hall last Thursday
5. L. Grant was chosen CHI irman, and
Robert b. Carter, secretary.
Before getting down to the serious bus
mess of the caucus, Mr.. Grant offered a
few remarks. His first venture was to re-
veal the real motives Of the powers
"behind the throne" that are plunging
the city so overwhelmingly in debt.
Fully TO understand the depth of this
scheme, 1t is necessary to go back into
ancient history. A corporation, and not
the city, owns the water works, but at
the end OF twenty years from the time of
their Introduction, (now about ten years
hence), the city may purchase them. The
scheme of the 'powers" is SO to manage
city affairs as gradually to increase the
bedt to point SO high that when The time
comes that tue city may purchase the
works, it will be unable to do SO, and
thus they will be left in the hands of a
wicked cooperation.
Clearly this Is important, il true.
Mr.. Grant next paid his respects to the
democrats. He said it had been reported
hat they had laid out a plan of campaign
Tor the popullsts, and had even sug-
gested some aldermanic nominal ions. He
thought the populists were amply able
W make tnelT own nominal ions,
and the less they had to do with
he democrats the better. democratic
flag OF truce, he remarked, would be as
fatal to the popuiists AS the Spanish flag
OF truce was to Maceo.
Then came the Roman senator act. He
recounted some of the doings of the
board of aldermen during the past year.
1.-The contract for keeping he poor was,
understand, given to the highest instead
of to the lowest bidder Tney say this
was done for the best interests of the city,
this must be 50, for they are all honor
able men.
II understand they paid several hum
dred dollars more for one rock crusher
than another could have been purchased
for. This, too, they say WAS done in the
city's interest. 1t must be so, for are
they not all honorable men?'
The expenditures on the roads and
bridges, ETC., came in for similar crit cism.
1t was time, in the judgment OF the
speaker, to call halt, to quit permitting
the Abenaquls club to name mayor, and
to get he government of the people back
into the hands of the people.
AT the conclusion of the chairman's
speech, the caucus settled down to bust
ness. There was only one nomination for
mayor, Robert Gerry. There WAS quite an
attendance at the caucus, but when the
votes were counted it vas found that only
twelve OF those present were popuiists.
Mr.. Gerry was the unanimous choice of
the conventions.
The nomination of aldermen was on
motion left to the city committee. These
nominations have not yet been made.
