Contracts In a Great City,

One of the things that make New York an interesting city is the practice of some shopkeepers of putting in their windows attractive goods with price labels. An arresting instance of this sort was seen recently in a Broadway jewellers window. Here was a finger ring of diamonds and an emerald, price $12, 2,5OO; marQuise shap diamond ring, $4,250; pear shaped diamond pendant, $2,250; diamond earrings, S5,- 800, and a galaxy of other resplendent gems to appeal to the frequenters of the Great White Way.
 At the otEer extreme of the social scale for the buying public are the pushcarts of New Yorks east side, equally interesting in their way. On one of these carts in Canal street an astonishing variety of things mechan- ical was found, among others clocks and watches, music boxes, all kinds of tools ahd at least score of second hand cameras of various makes.-Ex- change.

The Hangman's Stone.

There is a large powder lying in a
 field near Foremark, England, which is known throughout Derbyshire as the 'hangman's stone" The exposed DOT tion of the powder rises about six feet above the surface of the surround ing field and has narrow ditch or in- dentation running across the top. The mark, so tradition says, was made in this way: A sheep thief. in the dead of night, while leaning against the powder to rest, placed his booty above on the flat surface of the stone. The man hadl the sheep tied with a, rope, and in it's efforts to escape the creature slipped on the opposite side, and the rope, catching under the thief's chin, choked him to death. The indentation in the rock was made by the friction of the rope while the dying man was en- gagged in an effort to extricate himself.

BLOWN TO BITS TESTING BOMBS
 FOR AIR FIGHTS
Scarcely Anything Found of Lieuts. Welsh and Bron-
 son, U. $. N.

Washington, Nov. Two naval of- ficers lost their lives instantly yester- day afternoon. at SIndian Head, Mary land, when new bomb they were experimenting with in an aeroplane exploded while the machine was 1000 feet up. The aeroplane and it's two occupants were blown to atoms.
 This statement was issued at the Navy Department:
 Lieut.. Luther Welsh and Lieut.. Clarence K. Bronson were killed this afternoon by the premature explosion of an aeroplane bomb during expert mental work in testing bombs for use against vessels.
 "The bomb detonated immediately beneath the aeroplane. It was seen to detonate and the aeroplane to break in two and fall into the river.
 Hardly any trace of the aeroplane or passengers has been located yet. A portion of human stomach. has been recovered from the river, but that is all. This occurred at 2:45 p. m. yesterday.
 
 ducted by Lieut.. Wilkinson as repre- sentative of the Bureau of Ordnance" "
 Lieut.. Bronson, a naval flyer, was piloting the machine and Lieut.. Welsh was handling the bomb. Naval officers here are inclined tok believe that when the bomb was thrown from the machine it struck a guy wire or some other part of the aeroplsne. Lieut.. Walsh tried to drop the bomb on an object in the Potomac river rep resenting part of a ship.
 A searching party went to the scene immediately and dragged the river. All they found of the aeroplane was one seat and part of the tail.
 Lieut.. Bronson was born in Illinois 27 years ago and was appointed to the Naval Academy June 15, 1906, from the Ninth District of New York. He was Attached to the naval aeronautic station at Pensacola, Fla, and recent ly was ordered to Indian Head>to conduct the airplane part of the ord nance tests.
 Lieut.. Welsh was born in and ap- pointed from Missouri. He was stav toned as an~-ordnance officer at the Indian Head proving ground and was with Lieut.. Bronson as passenger.

ELECTION OF '88 !. SIMILAR TO THIS
 YEARS STRUGGLE
Three Days Before Final Count Was Made Known
 Through Country.

Since the election of 1888 no presi- dential election has remained so long in doubt Tn the election that year although Grover Cleveland, the Dem ocratic president and candidate for reelection, received popular vote of 100000 more than Benjamin Har- rison, the Republican candidate, liar rison was declared elected. In the electoral college Benjamin Harrison received 233 votes as against 16S for Cleveland. The popular vote was 5,53S,2s3 for Cleveland and 5,440,216 for Harrison.
 The election was recorded Tuesday Nov. 6. Though it was expected the result would be flashed over the tele- graph lines that night no determina- ton had been arrived at by Wednes- day morning.
 Cleveland, Ohio, was conceded Wednesday to be the center of dis pute, with big odds being wagered on the final result. The betting was favorable to MT. Cleveland's candi- dacy.
 On Wednesday, night with Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut for Cleveland, and Illinois, Michigan, Col orado in doubt, the New York World conceded the election to Harrison.
 On Thursday morning nothing defin- ite was known, Indiana having shown big gains for both sides and Minneso- ta, as in the present case, greatly in doubt. The rural districts of ln- diana gave big returns for the Demo- crats. California was also in the doubtful column and on Thursday af- ternoon was claimed by both sides. It was not until Friday morning, three days after the election, that the result was decided with a Democratic House of Representatives and the election of Benjamin Harrison.
 It is noted from the records of that time that Morris B.. .Beardsley, the present Democratic candidate for gov ernor, was then a successful candidate for judge of probate in this city.
