KENTUCKY'S UNCERTAINTY.
Result of Election Will Prob
ably Be Decided in
Legislature.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 10, 1S99.-Un-
certainty regarding the result of Tues
days election in this State is not likely to
be removed for some time. Both sides still
claim victory, the State chairman of each
party asserting that his ticket has a plur-
atty of about 1900. Newspaper returns
from Republican sources give Taylor a
plurality of 3,43S. while those from Demo-
cratic sources make Goebels plurality
941. These latter cover all but So precincts
in the State, although several reports
from counties give estimated pluralities
instead of actual. OF the missing pre-
cincts five are in Louisville, which vent
Republican this year. twenty are IN
strong Republican counties, and ten are
in strong Democratic counties.
Feeling among the factions has been ag-
gravated rather than allayed by the de-
veiopments since Tuesday. Excited meet
ings are being held in many parts of the
State to protest against frauds which 1T is
alleged are contemplated by the leaders.
Nothing short of the official count will
determine the result and 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the announcement of that
count will simply change the scene of con-
lict to the courts of the Legislature, where
It viii appear in the form of a contest

P0STHASIER'5 REPORT.
Gen. Bristow Gives the
Statistics Of the
Office.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10, 1885,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
! John L. Bristow, in his annual report to-
day, announces that during the past fiscal
! year IA, 604 postmasters were appointed,
10. 523 being fourth class postmasters and
| the remainder Presidential. Concerning
the policy of removals, the report says
'rThe policy of former administrations Of
removing fourth class postmasters for po-
litical reasons, regardless of the length of
service, resulted in the changing of post
masters in all of the important fourth
class post offices early in those admin
istrations. h four years term of the
great majority of fourth class postmast-
ers, therefore. expired early in the admin
istration, which accounts for the greatly
increased number of appointments made
during the fiscal year as compared with
the preceding one. Especial attention to
disciplinary measures and the general i'm
provement of the service has therefore
been permitted
There were 1888 post Offices established
and 1,505 discontinued. At the close of the
year the total number Of post offices in
the country was an wen 1900. The de-
partment has discontinued a number of
private post OLllCtS, Wu4NA II -
vised were conducted for the sole benefit
of some private institutions; not only de-
priving the government of its legitimate
revenues but giving undue advantage over
competing firms in postal facilities. Elk
tension of rural free delivery necessitated
d-iscontinuing eighty post offices. applica-
tons to restore a number of which are
now pending.
About 1000 more postoffices were inspect
ed than in any previous year. Registered
mail lost averaged one piece in every $3.50
handled. There were 1873 postal arrests
during the year, including 119 postmas-
tiers, 81 assistant postmasters, Al posto1fice
clerks, 81 railway postal clerks, "a letter
carriers, and 361 postofice burglars. OF
all these, 500 pere convicted and Gs cases
are still pending in the courts.
The report says the p~racticability OF
Transporting the mails over the proposed
all-American route to the Yukon IN
Alaska is a problem yet to be determined
and a recent inspection found so few set
tiers in this interior country that only one
postofice was established.
Among the recommendations are for
authority for inspectors to take out search
warrants whenever necessary; for pay
ment of expenses of various authorities III
arrest and detention of postofhce pris-
oners; an appropriation for constructing
inspectors'lookouts in postoffices wherever
deemed necessary; an amendment to the
interstate m law to prohibit tele-
graph and express companies or employees
from abetting in green goods swindles,
lotteries or similar schemes; legislation
prohibiting loose pouching Of circulars n
other small mail matter, and providing a
larger newspaper wrapper h is now
issued.

BIG LEATHER FIRE.
Tanning Plant of Beggs & Cobb
Burned-S75,oo o. Loss.

BOSTON, Nov. 10, 1894 serious fire
broke out in the leather district Of Wo-
burn at 8:15 his A. NJ. The entire tanning
plant of Beggs & Cobb, valued at $4,000,
was burned and the adjoining factories of
Stephen Dow & Company were threat
ened.
The fremen prevented the flames from
spreading to the Dow factory, but a
dwelling house some distance away
caught fire frome a flying ember. This
blaze was ~extinguished before much
damage was done. Assistance, which had
been asked of Winchester, reached Wo-
burn too late to be of any use.
The fire was caused by the over turning
Of a lamp which was being used by work
men engaged in repairing an iron pipe
connected to a grease kettle in the base
ment Of the building. The kettle was
empty, but the surrounding woodwork was
50 saturated with oil and grease that it
seemed only a moment before the plant
was a mass of flames.
About eighty men were employed in the
factory. and it was with difficulty that
those in the upper stories escaped. Luke
Fourier, the superintendent, who assisted
out of the building, found his escape cut
off and was Obliged to jump from a win
dow. He was not seriously injured. all
though he was badly burned about the
arms and the upper part Of the body.
The burned building was 100 feet in
length, eighty feet wide and four stories
in height. Owing to the laying Of. hose
across the railroad tracks. several rains
gress. The total loss is S75, 010, and is
covered by insurance.

BIG HELLO DEAL
for the Telephone
Telegraph and Gable Go.
Of America Filed,
in Trenton.

The papers for the Telephone, Telegraph
and Cable Company of America were hteo
at Trenton last night. The capital IS
$50, 600, 900 and the incorporators are VIII
liam ]. Latta, of the Pennsylvania Raj
road; Martin Maloney. of Philadelphia, and
James E. Hayes. of Camden. The new cor
poration is the outgrowth of the Contie
mental Company, which was Incorporated
last August. The company promises 10
give a complete long distance service
throughout the Eastern States. It will
begin operations by consolidating the in
dependent systems between Boston and
Pittsburg. It's New Jersey Offices are the
Registrar Transfer Company. No. So
MONTGOMERY street, this city, winch COM
pany filed the papers.
In addition to this ompany there are
to be several lesser consultations, taking
in various other sections Of the country.
The Hudson Telephone Company OF Jer-
sew CITY will be absorbed. The Federal
Telephone Company, for example, VIII
take in companies in the neighborhood OF
Ohio, ndian and other Middle States.
There will also be an a-malgamation OF
Independent telephone companies IN NeW
England. and when these various district
consultations are completed a controlling
interest in their stock is to be transferred
to the big Telephone, Telegraph and Gable
Company of America.
The directory of the big concern as
made up yesterday, is said to include
these names:-John Jacob Astor, Peter A.
B. Widener, Michael Maloney, Charles r..
Flint, Francis M. jerks, Thomas Dolan,
w. L. Elkins, Frank Tflford, Emerson
McMillin and w. H. Gelshenen; Charles
E. Adams, Oakes Anne and J. T. Hol-
brook of Boston; former Governor David
r. Francis of Missouri; w. ]. Latta OF
Philadelphia, and w. H. Croker of San
Francisco. Mr.. Latta, who used to be gen
eral agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
is to be the president.
The Whitney syndicate interests control
the new rival to the Bell Telephone Com
pany, and Mr.. Maloney, who is the active
agent for the syndicate, is understood to
have made close relations with the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. 1t is not
denied that the Western Union may IN
some cases bridge over the gap between
cities, SO that the long distance part of the
telephone business may be very much sim
plifed.
The negotiations. that are on foot for
the a-malgamation of the Knickerbocker
Telephone Company and the Peoples
Telephone Company. Darwin r. James,
president of the latter, said yesterday
that nothing definite had been agreed up
on. although the prospects were favorable.
Knickerbocker Company was organ
lied by John Jacob Aston and his friends,
and it obtained permission to use the con-
duits of this city several months ago.
The Peoples company has recently OBJ
tanned the same right. 1t is controlled by
members of the Board of Trade and
IRA CHARACTERIZATION and their friends.
