none the less energetic.
In the First ward at o'clock only
about eighty votes had been polled.
the number Of ballots here being less
than In any Of the other wards. Both
sides claimed the ward, and II must be
placed on the doubtful list.
In the second ward 10 votes had
been cast by 3'o'clock. II is believed
that here Goodall has a majority
and that Perry Is ahead. II also looks
like Mr.. Mackel.
There is a hard fight In the Third
ward. Both sides claim to have won
with about twenty votes TO spare. But
there has been lot scratching, and
no one has any certainty regarding
the outcome. II looks especially IA.
yorable for Bacharach. however.
In the Fourth there seems to DC
little doubt but DR.. Goodall has q
snug majority. w. w. Wallace has
almost certainly won over Major Ran.

publican ticket had a majority.
Taking the city over, II looks as
though DR.. Goodall would be elected
BY small majority. as though Mr..
Gross would be defeated, and as
though ,ne republicans would win q
majority Of the aldermen.

Definite information was obtained last
night that the demands of the ma
chinists, car workers and steamfitters
for wage increase by the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
have been refused and that the com
pany granted them only the concession
of nine hour day with nine hours
pay and on Saturday eight hours with
full days pay. That this concession
is not satisfactory was learned from a
member Of the mnchlnists' advisory
committee, who came out for mo-
mcnt from the secret meeting. THE
only alternative is TO starye or strike, y
he said. He admitted that although
no order TO strike had been given, II
seemed inevitable.
