Mr.. Woods's and Mr. McCabes reason for con
testing the election is that if they can prove
that there was fraud and have the vote of the
district thrown out they may gain control of the
Democratic County Committee. That was their
sole defeat, They retained control of the Demo-
cratic City Committee of Albany and also gained
the delegates of assembly district To the
Democratic State convention. Thus the election
OF Mr.. McCabe as a member of the Democratic
State Committee is assured.
Mr. McCabe said to-day:

Stats tics of Double Stars.

In his introduction to his fourth list
of new double stars discovered and
measured with the 36-inch telescope
of the Lick observatory, Prof. Aitken
gives the following statistics of gen.
eral interest. In his systematic search
for new double stars he has pointed
upon and examined 10000 stars. OF
these $50 had already been catalogued
as double by earlier observers, but
only 30S Of them were as close as 5
seconds. In the stars examined Prof.
Aitken found 34 other double stars
all unrecorded and all less than 5
seconds in distance. 1t thus appears
that systematic examination of the
whole heavens on this plan would re-
suit in doubling the number of double
stars now known. OF Prof. Athens
discoveries about 10 per cent have dis
tances exceeding seconds, 70 per cent
have distances not exceeding 2 Sec
onds, about 43 per cent have distances
not exceeding 1 second, about 81 per
cent have distances not exceeding II
second.

Pneumatic Canning Device.

The principal cause of the spelling
OF fruit canned for winter use is the
action of the air inside, which induces
fermentation of the alcohol in the
juice of the fruit, ultimately passing
to the final stages of decay. By or
binary methods of canning it is al
most impossible to exhaust this air
entirely, and it is to aid in this work
that the apparatus here shown has
been designed by William E. Freder-
icks of Portland, Ore. The intention
of the inventor is to make the ma
chine exhaust the air from the can
and then seal it automatically with
out allowing return of the air from
the outside. In order to accomplish
this purpose the only change rem
dered necessary in the jar is the in
sertion of a valve in the center Of
the screwtop. The mechanism con-
sists of a cylinder and piston, the lat
ter being lifted by a hand lever to

stop the train for the operations of
the confederates. The invention con-
sists of trap mechanism, adapted
to be sprung by the robber on TAX
ing position on the platform, to grip
him against the tender or handrail
OF the car, and the inventor also sug-
gests a further paralyzing treatment
in the form of a powerful electric cur
rent to hinder the robber in his ef-
forts to escape. The three plates
shown in the floor of the platform pro-
vide the releasing device for spring
ing the trap as soon as The intruder
places his weight on them. About the
same height with the top of the hand
rail, and resting normally against the
end of the car, is a metal plate or
board attached to the outer end of
horizontal piston rod, the latter enter
ing cylinder and holding a coiled
spring under compression. AS soon
as the tripping plates are depressed
the piston is released and throws the
board forward to bind the robber. It
is pretty rough treatment, but prob
ably no more than he deserves and the
result is captured burglar and pre-
vention of the contemplated robbery.
J. S. Johnson of New York city is the
inventor.

the dial. This shaft has a worm gear
