Tain'nnny's Triumph In Greater New York.
When tho conditions Of the campaign
arc considered, the Tammany triumph
at the election in Creator New York,
Tuesday, will not seem at all aur-
rrisiog, In fact, 40 was shown by
forecasts 10 Tho Gasetto, it was up.

sucn great sweep OF public sentiment
in favor of Soth Low as to mako the
latter'R election assured. Unfortunately,
however this landalide did not happen
and Tammany again proved victor by
a minority vote.
While various circumstances con
tributed TO the result, 1t was mainly
tue to the divided opposition to Tan.

total Republican strength in tho com.

votes is ridiculously small total for
the Republican party in thiH territory,
but it is all that nuss plutt can show

Another significant feature OF the

this character are so important that a

provo unsatisfactory. 4 proper plan

lloro is, concurrent testimony of a

ought to be productive OF good'resuts.
Tho question is ono of business, not OF
politics. The finances of the county, as
result of existing conditions, arc In
bad shape, and relief is imperetively
demanded. The Legislature should rake
the matter in hand at it's coming ges-
sion and inRugurate the desired reform.

ip brief, are the results of yesterdays
elections.
There is more encouragement for
Democrats than for Republicans in the
returns OF these elections They show
that tho Democratic party has not lost

the party leaders will profit by this
clear illustration remains to be seen.
Altogether, the Democrats have ample
reason for pulitical encouragement from

OF Tuesdays elections is that the

incubus of free silver coinage, can
sweep the country next year as com.

ing the disappearance of tho peach
from their midst. Forty or more years
ago peach trees werB common in several
of tho New England States, and in
Connecticut the peach was raised for
market in considerable quantities..
The borers suddenly appeared, and the
growers not knowing how to deal with
thom, they speedily killed nearly all
the trees. What wero lsft were carried
oil by the yellows. and tho farmers
hocame discouraged and abandoned tho
industry. The peach industry has hcen
stoadily moving southwark. From
Connecticut it frat moved to Now
Jersey, then TO tho northern cnunties
of tho Maryland Delaware Peninsula.
As the orchards in tho North fail moro
trees are planted in the South. 1t has
been the belief that peach trees will
not for many years flourish on tho site
of IN old orchard. Possibly ii was for
this reason that the Connecticut peach
growers failed to renew thor orchards
as they died out. The gradual disap.
fearance OF peaches from the northern
portion Of the Delaware Peninsula is
also a striking instance OF the south
ward journey of the luscious fruit.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 29.-It ap-

eastward bound was lost in the Wa

was no fire, and while the mail car was

was on the train and he took charge
of the mail. Much of it was damaged
by water, but the next day it was
sent east and will be dried out and
forwarded from ST. Louis.
The death list still remains at seven.
All of the injured have left the hos

was at first thought dead. He was

ANOTHER BANK RAIDED.

HiShwaymen Hold Up the Cashier of the
Belle Fouche Is. d. Institution.
DEADwooD, S. D., June 29.-Four
masked men yesterday morning made
a desperate attempt to rob the Butte
county bank at Belle Fourche. Enter
ing the bank with revolvers drawn,
they ordered the customers present
and bank officials to hold up their
hands. little hesitancy on the part
of Cashier Marble drew shot from the
gun of one of the robbers, which
Clipped off a large portion of the cash
ier's right ear and enforced compH-
ance with the command. The safe and
counters were relieved of the cash they
contained, and the robbers, mounting
their horses, which had been con-
veniently stationed near, rode away.
