PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. SIN one Of the
most bitterly fought elections In the
history Of Philadelphia, Rudolph Blank
enburg. independent republican and
reform" yesterday defeated George H.
Earle. r.. the republican organization
candidate for mayor. by the small plu-
rality Of 1854.
The run made by Blankenburg was
remarkable. Facing q republican ma
jority Of between $4,000 and 100000,
and a candidate backed by United
ltor James P. McNich0i. the organiza-
ton leader Of this city. this advocate of
civic Righteousness battled his way to
victory against odds which would have
deferred q less determined candidate.
The significance of the Blankenburg
landslide can be appreciated when the
total vote of 26S,224 Is taken into con-
sideration.
The closeness OF the vote between
Earle and Blankenburg was due to
several causes, the main one being the
bitter fight at the primaries between
Earle and William 8. Ware, In which
the former wou out by a large majority
The sores caused by this fight had not
healed. Judging from the vote which the
downtown wards, controlled by Ware,
gave to the reform candidate.
While Blankenburg was successful
for mayor the other regular republican
candidates won with the possible ex-
ception OF the office Of clerk Of the
quarter sessions court.
The reform element elected two
minority police magistrates and will
have at least 40 members In councils
The total unofficial figures for mayor
are:
Rudolph BlankenburE, fusion, 1884,
1856; George II. Earle, republican
I30122; Charles Sehl, socialist, 1864;
James J. Patton, prohibition. 252.
All the republican candidates fol
county judges, against whom there
was little or no opposition. were
elected.
According to the complete but un-
official figures, Eugene J. McAleer
Democratic fusion, was elected CLERK
Of the quarter sessions court by l.
563 plurality.

should wear yellow hats. The old
MARQUIS de Pombal, then minister in

court with three yellow hats under his
arm. The king smiling, asked him:
What are you doing with these?"
The marquis replied 81 have them

Old Timber Stronger Than New
Which is the stronger, a piece Of
sound old timber or a piece Of new7
We think It probable that the major
ity OF engineers would say that the
new timber was the stronger. In
either case, however, the opinions
would be mere guesswork, for there
has been hitherto, so far as we recall,
no authentic information on this
point. This lack is now supplied In a
paper by Mr.. c. P. Buchanan, In which
he shows as a result Of careful tests,
that sound timber q quarter Of CEN
tury old is materially stronger than
new stock
Mr.. Buchanan's tests were made on
white pine, but there Is no reason ia
suppose that oak. hard pine or any
other wood commonly used in build
ing would behave differently. 1t IL
fair to conclude that all wood main
tains its strength, except as decay
weakens It or fire and mechanical alb
rasion destroy it.-Engineering News
