To my friends over Jefferson County, I wish to say that have made aNthorough canvass of every Beat in the County. I know the situation and I am absolutely sanguine of success. My judgment of matters political, es- pecially as to Jefferson County, be- lieve to be accurate, and I know it to be deliberate and unbiased It is my deliberate judgment that I will over- whelmingly carry every rural pre- cinct in the County, except three small ,ones, and in two of these will mix it with my opponents. It is my judgment that I will get total vote in the City Beats larger than that of my opponents. So l unhesitatlngly say to my friends and the people of this County, that have the race won. I believe that even my opponents will admit that I am not in the habit of making rash statements. In order that may have the full benefltof the excellent campaign which has been made in my behalf to this time, it is necessary that my friends keep ham, mering away until thepolls are closed. We have the situation we'll in hand, and we propose to hold it. We have made the best, the cleanest and the, most intelligent and effective cam paign, and we have the fight won.
 Yours, etc.,

A Track Laying Record
the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American
 It is to the American engineer and con trsctor that the world is indebted for its first lessons in rapid construction of rail roads and particularly in rapid track lay ing
 The lesson as taught on our western prairies has led to systematic methods of railroad construction. particularly with a view to time and labor saving. in other countries where extensive lines are being built Thus, we notice that recently a record was made of six and one third miles of main track and 1200 feet of sid ing laid with rails in one day. The work was done under British engineers on the Baro Kama railway in northern Nigeria.
