SPECIAL OInY ELECTION.
An Alderman From the Third Ward
 to Be Chosen on November 6.

At a meeting of the city council yesterday afternoon a special election to fill the vacancy in the city council by the death of Alderman Zoeckler was ordered to be held on November 6. The registration was ordered to be be- gun on October 2S and to be closed on November 1. The only other matter discussed, and it was informally dis cussed, was a proposition to raise the salary of the janitor of the engine house and city hall from $50 to $6O. The matter was presented by Chief Davis of the fire department, who said the Gamewell fire alarm system had made the duties of the janitor much more arduous. The batteries have to be renewed frequently. This occasions great deal of work, to say nothing of the annoyance from sore hands, caused by handling the blue stone or sulphate of copper.
 The council reached the conclusion that the Gamewell system was al- ready costing the city as much as it could afford to pay.

A casual Examination left no hope. The braf fns were oozing from the victims Hght ear There was no external fracture of the skull, a circumstance which made the case all the more hopeless, for it was evil dent that a blow at the base of the brain had torn it loose and crushed it. The injury is said to be almost the only one nYt operative. There was nothing to do but stand by and see the victim die If the injury had af- fected tke upper part of the brain i only it would have been possible to lift the vault, but the base could not be removed. Dr. Wylie went to Dr..

HAPPY NEBRASKANS.
A Deadly Blight Has Fallen on Bry-
 aniSm.

Secretary Charles H. Akers yester- day received letter from his cousin, Hon. William R. Akers, of Lincoln, Neb., a member of the Nebraska state senate. Mr. Akers writes that the wave Of prosperity has beaten with so great force upon the stronghold of Bryanism that all the defenses have been washed away and the whole state has been given over to the en- emy, the republicans.
 Nothing more, MT. Akers writes, is heard of free silver and reform No body is talking about the initiative and referendum or a change of any sort in the government. Everything is good enough as it is and immeasur- ably better than the most sanguine hoped it might be. A mortgage in- debtedness of $56,0G0,00 will be re- moved from Nebraska this year. These conditions, says MT. Akers. are not favorable to propagation of popu- lsuc or democratic sentiment, so that II MT. Bryan were a candidate for of flee he could not carry his own state or his own county, or his own city, or his own precinct.
 People, of course, do not believe that the republican party is responsible for the boun'teous crops of wheat and corn, or that it is wholly responsible for the unexpectedly high prices for all kinds of farm products. These things have just happened so, but folks cannot help thinking that a party that has such luck is worth staying with.

WATCHING THE BULLETINS.
Great JOY Manifested Over the Double
Victory.

Interest in the deciding game of the Ne
tional League contest was great In Wash
ington, as was indicated by the gathering
that stood on 18th street in front of The
Stars big bulletin board yesterday after
noon for two hours and watched the figures
go down that indicated that Baltimore had
lost the pennant and Washington had gain
ed the first division. 1t would be too much
to say that interest was equally divided be-
tween these two results. There was an in
tense and practically universal wish to
have Boston win the pennant. That Wash
ington should also go up q notch was high
ly gratifying. but was not Indispensable
The crowd was in good humor from the
first. The first bulletin from the Baltimore
game was washington, .: Baltimore l."
1t caused ringing cheer. There was not
great confidence. for every one knew how
prone the Orioles are to win out at any
time. A few minutes later came the Brook
Iyn bulletfn-"Boston, 5; BROOKLYN O." Then
what a cheer went up.
II washington wins Boston will have the
pennant," was the cry.
Little interest was taken In the New York
game, and general relief felt that there
were no western games; only Baltimore and
Brooklyn were thought of. 1t was soon

was the universal question.

BALTIMORE, Nd, October 1, 1897.
Yesterdays game between the Orioles
and Senators was a great one to look at
from a Washington point of view, as the
capital city representative played all
around the birds and won by the score of
. to 3.
The representative of The Star ran
across Capt. Tom Brown in the lobby of
the Carrolton Hotel in Baltimore yester-
day morning and asked him who would do
the twirlihg for the Senators. Capt. Tom
replied
Mercer goes in today. He thinks he can
down the birds, and wants to pitch. When
man feels that way think it is a good
chance to take. He has never beaten them
yet, but it may be his day and he might
pull it off,
Capt. Tom showed his sagacity in trying

they have gotten up agafnst almost unpre-

We should have finished so well in the race
against such obstacles is a comforting
thought. You know 1 make 1t a rule never
to comment in public on the work of the
men on our team. In regard to their play
ing for the season 1 am more than pleased,
and the loss of the pennant is no fault of
theirs. We have received information that
the 1897 pennant will be presented to the
Boston team in the fremont Theater next
Monday night. OF course, we expect to be
in Boston at that time, and we shall do
anything asked OF us to make the presen-
