ysp THE HTTSBtTKG- DISPATCH, SATTJKDAY, PEBRTTARY. 15, 1890. f?, R' ft." POUNOINGJ TOWN. ContractsAgpegating $7,000, 000 Let for Charleroi. A SCHEME OF GEEAT SCOPE. Largest Plate Glass Works in World to be Built. the DETAILS OP THE MAMMOTH WORK Charleroi, the new industrial city at Mc Kean station, on the P., V. & C. B. B., above Lock No. 4, has been staked out and will be invaded by an army of workmen next Monday, It is expected that by the first of next August 10,000 inhabitants will be occupants of tbe town site. A Dispatch representative finished yesterday a two days inspection of the place and learned much of interest in connection witb the plans by which $7,000,000 will be invested in this lo cation and contingent enterprises within less than a year. Drexel, Morgan & Co., the great banking firm, is represented in its immense invest ment by M. J. Alexander, the gentleman who built Jeannette for Chambers & Mc Kee. J. W. Moore, the ex-coke king, of Greensburg, Pa,, is a Yery heavy investor. So also is Dr. Bullit, a Philadelphia banker, and Mr. W. 1. Hartupee, the Pitta burg engineer. Mr. James B. Haines, Jr., of Pittsburg, is also in the big plate glass company. Messrs. Alexander, Moore, Bul lit, Hartupee and Haines form the director ate of the Charleroi Plate Glass Company and the Charleroi Land Company. A SEEIES OF COMPANIES. Br. Chandler, late the manager of the Butler Plate Glass Works, will be the gen eral manager of the Charleroi Plate Glass "Works, capitalized al $1,000,000. Mr. Alex ander will be superintendent and general manager of the Charleroi Land Company, capitalized at $250,000. Messrs. Chandler, Alexander, Hartupee, Bullit and Moore are the directorate of the Charleroi Construction Company, which has the contract of building Charleroi. There is also a sand company with the same parties interested, and the McKean Sand and Stone Company, with a capital of $100,000, of which Postmaster James S. Mc Kean is President and has a controlling in terest. There is also a brick company, with a capital of $50,000. A capitalist of Canton, O., is heavily interested, and several lead ing financiers of Philadelphia and New Tork are owners of large blocks of stock in the above companies. "With a river frontage of nearly two miles, the Pittsburg, "Virginia and Charleston Bail road threading the site, 20 feet of water close inshore, the town site directly over the Belle vernon natural gas ante-clinal and every possible mineral advantage close at hand, the site of Charleroi is highly favored. ON A NATUBAL PLATEATJ. The land secured by the purchase of the McKean and other farms forms a natural plateau bounded by bluffs at the back, sweeping gradually around a curve and abutting upon tbe river at either side of the town site. The Monongahela river is nearly" straight and the P., Y. & C. Bailroad runs through the tract separating the town proper from the tract devoted to building and man ufacturing sites fronting upon the river. The ground rolls slightly toward the bluffs at the rear, and is so nearly level that no grading will be required. The avenues and streets are laid out between the railroad and the Fallowfield township line now indicated by the township road. Prom the summit ot the hills overlooking Charleroi the view is unobstructed for miles up and down the river. This handsome little spot is destined to become a great industrial center. Traversing the town site from West Belle vernon down to Lock No. 4 the present plans can be rendered intelligent by a de tailed description of the various holdings and the contemplated improvements. Be tween "West Bellevernon and Maple Creek the first tract going down the river is 30 acres owned by the Charleroi Plate Glass Company, upon which is found a superior quality of grinding sand for plate glass polishing. LABGEB THAN THE LABOEST. It may be said at this point that tbe huge factory will use 100 tons of sand a day, The largest factorv in the world uses CO tons, and the difference in amount illustrates clearly the leviathan size of the proposed plant. Next comes 30 acres owned by James S. McKean and his associates. There is a fine quality of building sand and a lime stone quarry upon this tract The founda tions of the plate glass factory will make use of $100,000 worth of stone alone. The 67 acres reserved by Kobert McKean, Sr., is crossed and at Maple Creek the Charleroi town site commences. Running just 1 miles downstream and perfectly straight are tbe four avenues forming the principal thoroughfares. The names are as follows in order: "McKean," ".Fallow field," ""Washington" and "Lincoln." Cross streets, numbered from one to nine consecutively, bisect the avenues. The old station lies between McKean avenue and the railroad and Second and Third streets. Between Fourth and Fifth streets the Pitts burg, Virginia and Charleston Company has secured an entire block whereon will be immediately erected the finest passenger station and freight yard on the entire line. A system of double tracks will be put in, with switches at regular intervals for the use of manufacturers. Freight loaded upon cars inside of such works as locate on the river front will go all over the country by the proposed system. Below the railroad and opposite tbe present station a huge der rick looms up. It is for the Charleroi well No. 1, and spudding will commence next "Wednesday. THE MADr BTEEET. Fifth avenue will be tbe street of the town. At the upper end, upon the brow of the hill, the water works will be erected at a cost of $50,000. The pumping engines will be placed on the river bank, below a trestle, which will lorm an approach to the four span Pratt truss bridge, which will cross the Monongahela river, and which will cost $125,000, with approaches, wagon and foot ways and railroad track. The latter will connect the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charles ton and tbe McKeesport and Bellevernon Railroads. The McKeesport and Bellevernon Bailroad skirts the bank of tbe river from Lock No. 4 to Bellevernon. Slightly above the proposed bridge are the Daly wells Nog. 1 and 2, both 700-pounders. Within 1,000 yards stands the big Gibsonton distillery, for which two weeks ago a British syndicate offered $3,000,000 in cold cash. In view of tbe Charleroi improvements tbe owners of the distillery decided last Thursday to build a four-story stone warehouse, with a capacity of 12,000 barrels, at a cost of $125,000. The work will commence Immediately upon this and other improvements. The lour corners of McKean avenue and Fifth street will be occupied by the new P., V. & C. depot, a $100,000 hotel, the Charle roi National Bank, with a capital of $150, 000, lor which a charter will be asked later on, and the permanent offices of the various companies. This will be an ornate struct ure costing $60,000. PLANS FOB THE PLANT. Below the railroad and commencing at Fifth avenue is the 25-acre tract to be occu pied by the eight immense buildings of the Charleroi Plate Glass Company, the plans for which were given to the Charleroi Con struction Company day before yesterday by the architects, wh have been aided in their work by Dr. Chandler, General Manager. The two main buildings will be parallel and will be 450x250 each. There will be an enormous engine-room at each end, besides several supplemental buildings for the fine polishing processes, packing rooms, etc The contracts entered into within a week between the plate glass company and the construction company indicate that the buildings will cost $750, 000. The foundations will cost $250,000 of that amount Ten million brick will be used, and the brick company, which will loeate its plant at a clay bank below the railroad, near Ninth street, will commence operations within two weeks, should the weather prove open. The machinery of the plate glass manu factory will be very elaborate. Mr. W. D. Hartupee closed the contract for the equip ment in St. Louis yesterday. The contract calls for $300,000 expense (or the machinery alone. It is understood that Mr. Hartupee imposed the condition upon the St Louis concern of having the entire equipment on the ground by October 1 ol the current year, about which time the building will be ready to receive it It is not announced from what source the 1,800 skilled plate glass workmen, who are to operate this enormous plant will be secured, but ar rangements have been made covering this detail fully. AN IDEA OF ITS SIZE. New processes of both American and Eu ropean invention have been secured and although no estimate of output is given out, it is stated that tbe factory will be at least a third larger than the Ford City Glass Works, at this time the largest in the world. It is stated to be a fact that the American plate glass factories are from six months to one year behind taeir orders, with prices ruling firm. The contract (or the en gines has already been placed. The lifting machinery of the sand house will be very ponderous, and the storage capacity will be at least 10,000 tons to guard against contin gencies. Although no further itemized statement ot investments could be secured beyond that given above, a gentleman who is a heavy stockholder in all the above con cerns assured a Dispatch representative that the total investment now in sight was somewhat in excess of $7,000,000. The north branch of Maple creek forms tbe boundary line of what is known as the "Bed Farm," purchased from the McKean family by the Charleroi Land Company. A grove'of' about 500 trees forms the upper portion of this property. Below these will be built a huge summer hotel at a cost not yet determined. The remainder of the tract is being held for summer residences, several of which are projected by the Eastern stock holders in the various companies. -WXLL BE SOME FINE HOMES. Between the line of the Bed farm and Fifth avenue is a large tract of land reserved by Mr. Bobert McKean. Between the water works and Lincoln avenue Mr. J. W. Moore will build a $40,000 residence, which he will make his permanent home. Among other features now under discussion are a hand some library, some small parks and various public buildings. Several handsomebusiness blocks will be erected also. For these and the 2,000 residences for workmen, Mr. M. J. Alexander is now having plans prepared by New York architects whom he journeyed from Pittsburg last Thnrsday night to con sult It is understood that a majority of the houses will be of brick and very sub stantial in character. There are scores of other features which space is too limited to speak of in detail. The manufacturing sites are being snapped up with avidity. At the end of the bridge a large site has been purchased by a Philadelphia steel company, which will ex pend $250,000 upon the plant and bring 300 workmen from tbe city of Brotherly Love. MANY OTHEES EXPECTED. The Pittsburg managers of tbe land com pany bagged a big local firm for another site yesterday. The name is withheld, but the plant will cost $200,000 to erect and gives employment to 1,200 men at present A Pittsburg plow manufacturer is also debat ing the question of removing a very large plant from tbe Old City. The promoters of Charleroi expect that a mile and a half of river frontage will be completely occupied eventually by local and Eastern manufact uring concerns. As contracts are now all placed for the erection of the city proper and the big plate glass works operations will commence just as soon as tbe weather permits. The hum of industry will very soon pervade the town site of the great plate glass city of the world, Charleroi. CAUGHT BY UNCLE SAM. Two Tennessee Prlaonera Held Over In tbe Central Station. John E. Bodgers and Frank Hope were placed in tbe Central station last night for safe keeping. They are United States pris oners, and on their way from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Washington, D. C, in charge of W. S. Tipton, United States Marshal of the Eastern District of Tennessee. Hope is charged with counterfeiting and the other with stealing $13 from a postoffice. They will be sent East on an early train to day. LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED. Incident f a Day In Two Cities Condensed lor'Readr Reading.

Sadler, on Grand. view avenue, Mt Washington, was entered Dy burglars at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The thieves' presence was discovered by Mrs. Sad ler, the mother of Dr. Sadler, who gave the alarm, and the fellows decamped without any booty. A pile ot clothing and moveable arti cles was left by the burglars at tbe head of the stairs. THOMAS Coeet and Jeremiah Kelllaher en Raged in a dispute in their boarding house on Thirteenth street yesterday and decided tbe matter in the gutter with the assistance of tbe landlady. Corey was arrested later on a charge of assault preferred by his opponent In order to accommodate the increased travel on the Fifth avenne traction line IS new cars bare been ordered and have arrived. Trains will be run during the busybours of the day and on tbe days of heavy travel. Feed Butler was committed by Alderman "Donghtv last night to jail on oath of Henry Broadnax for assault and battery. The hear ing will be held between 2 and 3 this after noon. The Sheriff has again issued a writ upon the Library Hall property, returnable tbe first Monday of March. Another effort will be made to sell this property at sheriff's sale on that date. H. C.

FIVE IN THE FIELD. Window Glass Workers Nominate Candidates for the Presidency. CAKE LOOKED ON AS THE WINNEE. Pittsburg Manufacturers Get Large Con tracts for Boilers. THE HAPPENINGS IN LABOR CIRCLES The "Window Glass Workers' Association held an important meeting last night Five candidates were placed in nomination for the office of president, to succeed Granville Morenus, resigned. They were Secretary George L. Cake, Treasurer Al. Hammett, Patrick McClarey, Louis Haney and Joseph Anderson. Ex-President James Campbell's name was also suggested, but that gentle man firmly and positively declined. The nominations will be left open another week to give the preceptories an opportunity to send in nominations, but it is not likely that tbere will be any more candidates. The contest, promises to be a lengthy one. There, of course, cannot be an election on the first ballot, and there will likely be three or four ballots before a President is elected. HAD ENOUGH OP IT. When ex-President James Campbell was asked why he rerused to be a candidate again, he simply said that he had had enough of tbe office and did not care to be bothered with it His action, however, is regarded by some as rather significant, and possibly in favor of Secretary Cake. "If Mr. Campbell has declined the office in lavor of Cake," said a member of the as sociation, "it is useless for any one else to stay in the field. Treasurer Hammett is a good man thoroughly competent to fill the position creditably, and he has many friends in Pittsburg, but Mr. Cake's connection with tbe office gives him an adyantage over the other candidates by being constantly kept before the members all over tbe coun try. This, coupled with the support of Mr. Campbell, who undoubtedly has thn largest following of any man in the association, will almost insure Mr. Cake's election." A FLAT DENIAL. Mr. Campbell, however, denied that he I was supporting any of the candidates, and Mr. Cake said he was a candidate on bis own merits. Mr. Clarey, who was defeated in the former election by Mr. Morenus, was not at the meeting last night He is work ing at Monongahela City at present It is understood he will do some pretty tall hustling, and he may prove a very danger ous opponent for the other candidates. The tally sheets for the first ballot will be sent out February 25, and it is expected that the result will be known by March 5. In the meantime ex-President James Campbell will continue to act temporarily and look after the affairs of the association. If Mr. Cake succeeds in winning the contest another election for a secretary will be made necessary. IN THE CHAMBER OP COMMERCE. About SO People Will be Preient at tbe Joint Conl Medina;. The meeting of coal operators and rail road managers to discuss the 40-mile radius, will be held in the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday instead of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad directors' rooms. The reason of the change is on account of tbe large number ot persons expected at the meeting. It is sup posed that there will be about 60 present and they will be considerable fun for those interested. Notices of the meeting were received by the operators yesterday. Every firm seen said they would send a representative primed with enough data to make tbe rail road people see where they do not under stand the business of making coal rates. TROUBLE AT SHOENBEEGER'S. One of tbe Men fin.pended for Interfering With the Bosses. It was reported about the various labor headquarters yesterday that a strike was im minent at Shoenberger's mill, on account of the discharge of one o( the members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. Vice President Florenee Sulli van, of the association, was seen, and in re gard to the matter said: "Murrav was only suspended pending an investigation into bis conduct This trouble was caused by Murray going beyond his province and interfering with the bosses. He is a valuable and experienced man, and it is not every one who can dojiis work. I think it will be settled all right before long, however, and there'll be no further trouble. TO ASTONISH THE JAPS. The Weitlnghonse Company Will Erect n Plant In Jnptn. After throwing a little light upon Chinese civilization, Pittsburg now jumps the high stone wall surrounding the Empire, and will make the first break toward lighting Japan. The Westinghouse Electric Com pany yesterday closed a contract with repre sentatives of the Takata Company of Tokio for a plant of 5,000 incandescent lamps for the town of Shidznoka. This is the first order the company has received from the land of the "Japs," and is the first of a number ot orders they expect to get F. W. Darlington, an expert electric en gineer, will accompany the plant to Japan and superintend its construction. PLASTERERS THREATEN TO STRIKE. Tbey Will Pnt on the Wire nnd Metal Lathing- Themielres. Journeymen Plasterers' Association, No. 31, of this city, has issued an order to its members that they must not pnt plaster on wire or expanded metal lathing, unless tbe same wa put in the walls by union journey men plasterers. The firms manufacturing this kind of lathing have been doing the work hereto fore. If they persist in doing it the plaster ers will strike against it Moldem' Special Meeting. Local Union No. 14, stove plate molders, held a special meeting last night to transact special business pertaining to the trade, but of no importance to the public. Tbe Presi dent stated tuat nothing had been done yet regarding the eight-hour law. The union is connected with the Federation of Labor and will act with that organization when the time comes: The Connt Did Not Come. Count Theodore de Bocboko, of Bogota, South America, who was expected to arrive in the city yesterday to inspect several steamboats, which the Porter Foundrv and Machine Company are building ir South American waters, did not come owing to illness. He telegraphed Mr. A. T. Douthett that he was ill and wonld have to postpone lis trip. An Open Sleeting. The meeting of coal operators and railroad men at the Chamber of Commerce on Tues day is intended to be an open one, and a full discussion of the question of- reducing- the 40-mile limit is invited. Every coal man is expected to have something to say. Another Green jlonte Started. L. A. 6111, Knights of Labor, green bottle blowers, xnet last night and received reports from the strike in the East A letter from Hawley, Pa., statd that Atkinson & Son, of that place, had signed the onion scale and started up. This makes 41 factories in the trade now working under union rules, and 23 are still out Eight of tbe latter number have always been non-union. PUTTING IN BOILERS. Bis Work Beta Done Here by the Hazel- ton Tripod Boiler Company, of Chicago Beee ot Co. FnrnUli the Material Plane of tbe Union Storage Company. Captain Charles Hallett, of the Hazelton Tripod Boiler Company, of Chicago, has been in Pittsburg for tbe past two months carrying into effect some heavy contracts. The company which the Captain represents is putting into use a boiler that entirely consumes the smoke, and in which slack coal is burned. The Captain claims that the time is fast coming when natural gas will be considered a luxury for indi viduals, and the manufacturers will have to abandon it as a fuel for coal. "With the new boilers he is putting in, he claims he can produce tbe same effect at one-third the cost of the gas needed. The system adopted is something on the style of the argand burner, and almost perfect combustion is produced. The boilers are made in Pittsburg and Chicago. Bees & Co. are filling all the con tracts in this territory, so that Pittsburg has received the benefit of the business. At S resent Captain Hallett is placing a 500 orse power plant for the Linden Steel Com pany in their works; 1,000-horse power boil ers have been put in for tbe Pleasant Valley Electric Boad; and other contracts secured are 150-horse power for John Bobinson Sons and 800-horse power for the Union Storage Company to run their new arti ficial ice plant The Pleasant Valley line has two boilers, one of which is Kept in re serve, and to look at either, one can scarcely tell which is in operation. The new boilers of the Allegheny Light Company are work ing well. The company has secnred contracts to sup ply 1,000-horse power for the New Castle Steel Company, and other big jobs in Cleve land, as follows: Prospect Boiling Com pany, 400-horse power; Cleveland Forge Company, 300-horse power; Union Boiling Company, 150, and Rockefeller & Britain Iron Company, 700-horse power. All these boilers will be made in Pittsburg by Bees & Co., and will give employment to a large number of men. Captain Hallett states that tbe boilers are being used extensively in the West by the electric light companies. In this connec tion it may be said that the Union Storage Company is laying its plans to manufact ure ice on ah extensive scale. They are figuring on producing the congealed duff for 60 cents per ton. Work has already been commenced on tbe well, and the com pany expects to begin on the plant proper in a very short time. CONSIDERED CHIMERICAL The River Freight Route to Omaha Is Not Credited Here. From Kansas City comes a story that the Merchants' Biver Line Navigating Com pany, backed by the Inman Line, is about to establish a freight route by way of the rivers from Pittsburg to Omaha. Their plan, as reported, is to build 60 light draught steamboats and 300 barges to carry grain to the seaboard. When Captain James A. Henderson, of the Pittsburg and Cincinnati Packet Line, was asked what he knew about the scheme, he replied that he had heard of it, but to his mind tht plan is too impracticable. "In the first place," he said, "tbey wouldn't have work enough for 60 steamers be tween Omaha and Pittsburg. The business done does not begin to require that many boats to handle It Carrying grain to the seabord is one thing, but the man who wrote the story forgets that Pittsburg is an inland town and it will cost as much to transport the grain by rail to the ocean as it would to send it direct from the West" On the whole, Captain Henderson is not inclined to believe that there is much in the scheme. He is a good riverman, doing a thriving business, and has already demon strated to the railroads that the nvers are dangerous competitors and need to be looked after. FROM A THIRD ST0RI WINDOW. A Woman's Mind Affected and She Tries to Kill Herself. Annie Venderberg was caught in the act of trying to jump from a third story window at No. 632 Smithfield street, yesterday after noon, by Officer McNeill. The officer was passing the building, and hearing screams upstairs ran up to investigate. He burst into a room on the third floor just in time to catch the desperate woman around the waist and prevent her attempt at self destruction, though he required the assist ance of Detective Fitzgerald to drag the woman back into tbe room. Mrs. Venderberg is a Swede. She has the second and third floors of the building and lets out rooms to lodgers. A few days ago she was taken ill and her mind became af fected. Yesterday morning her lodgers nearly all left, and at the time she made the attempt on her life there was no one in the house with her. AH AFFLICTED FAMILT. Two Yeara After the Son Is Drowned the Father ! Killed. George P. Bender, formerly an officer on the police force, but lately employed in Joues & Laughlins' American Iron Works, on the Southside, was instantly killed about 2 P. M. yesterday by the bursting of an emery wheel. One of the pieces struck him in the head, almost tearing it from his shoulders. Bender was 24 years of age, married, and will be remembered as having lost a boy by drowning who fell with a cart over a dump on the Southside some two years ago. The remains of Mr. Bender were taken to his home on Market alley, in the Twenty-fourth ward. The inquest will be held this morn ing. The deceased had an unfortunate experi ence on South Nineteenth street about four years ago, the night before Ed Coffee shot Officer Edmunds. He was attempting to arrest a man named Little, The latter was shot in a fight which followed. Officer Binder was acquitted when tried for the killing of Little. Fell From a. Railway Trestle. John Wnrtenberg, a little boy living on Church Hill, Thirty-sixth ward, fell from the trestle of the Little Saw Mill Bun Bail road yesterday morning. His left leg was broken, and he suffered slight internal in juries. WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Some Wh'o Do Not, nnd Others Who Talk. Otto Marmett, or the Marmett Coal Company, and Henry Imenbort, of Cincinnati. were at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. Mr. Marmett is interested in the Southern Coal Company, which is fast winding up its affairs. T. C. Frew, of Cincinnati, traveling freight agent of the Texas Pacific, and George T. Bishop, commercial agent of the Clover Leaf at Cioreland, were in the city yesterday hust ling for business. C. F. Melick, the last of the contract ing agents of the Pittsburg and Western road, has rsigned bis job to accept a position witb Thomas G. Boyle k Co. W. H. Trego, of the United States Express at Baltimore, is stopping at the Hofel Schlosaer. Coroner Heber .McDowell has been laid up since last Monday with a severe attack of pleurisy.

CE0IKSHANK COULDN'T STOP HIM, And Bader Failed to Carry a Single Ward in the Entire City. TTIHAM'S PIjUEALITX IS OYER 2,000 Ex-Mayor James G. Wyman was yester day nominated by the Bepublicans for a second term as Mayor of Allegheny. This is the only contest for a city office which has this year occurred in any party primary struggle. There were three candidates: James G. Wyman, of the Second ward; Common Councilman William A. Cruik shank, of the Second wardtland Common Councilman William Bader, of the Fourth ward. The polls were open from 4 to 7 o'clock. N otwithstanding the rain, there was great interest in the contest, and the polls were surrounded by men carrying umbrellas. The struggle in many of the wards was more intense than often occurs between the Bepublican and Democratic parties. Good order, however, was the rule. The few personal encounters which took place were settled by the bystanders without police in terference. Such encounters occurred in the Second, Third and Twelfth wards, but no call for the patrol wagon was made. In nearly every instance the city officials and city employes were lound to be work ing for Wyman. Every member of the police force was a Wyman man, and the city detectives, with one exception, did valu able work lor the ex-Mayor;. The exception was William Eichenlaub. who labored hard in the Second ward for Councilman Cruik shank. MUCH AGAINST THEM. The Cruikshank men complained that the election boards, as a rule, were for Wyman, and that was not denied by Wyman's friends. They only said that it was an in dication that the citizens who take an inter est in public affairs were for Mr. Wyman because of their knowledge of his adminis trative capabilities. ' Mr. Cruikshank's friends bad another in terpretation. Iu several election districts the Cruikshank men demanded the ad mission, into the polling place, of an in spector expressly interested iu their candi date. They were refused in every instance, the point being made that the party rules provided for only one inspector, duly chosen at each spring election. Little drunkenness was seen at the polls, with a few exceptions in the four central wards. Beturns were received at the Mayor's office. The first floor of the City Hall was overcrowded with young men who were evidently prepared to shout for Mr. Wyman. The place was suffocatingly warm and tne jam intense. The noise ot gabble, between ward workers who elbowed one an other for the front line, and the chance to attract the most attention from the "ins," was so great that Clerk Hunnshagen and Detective Glenn could scarcely be heard when they read the district returns. The returns by wards are as follows: THE HOUSES FOB IT. Wards. Wyman. Cruikshank.

Air EASY WAXKOVEE. According to this showing, Mr. Wyman's Tote, as compared with that of Mr. Crnik shank, was about two to one, and in the en tire city will be about 900 majority over both competitors. Mr. Griffith was not heard of in either the poll contests or the returns. The reading of the votes at the Mayor's office elicited great cheering, especially when it became apparent, by 830, that Mr. Wyman was nominated. It was about 930 when Mr. Wyman appeared in person. Ha was escorted by Detective John Murphv. He hobbled in at a rear door by the aid of two crutches. His face bore, in its fullness and color, the appearances of health, but it was evident that be was suffering great pain. His feet were wrapped in bandages, and it was with difficulty that he could compose his countenance. The figures, which bis friends in the private office showed to him, temporarily obscured his realization of suf fering. The moment he appeared he was recognized by the crowd in the hall, and shouts for a speech rent the hot air. After looking over the tables of returns, Mr. Wy man removed his bat and said: Gentlemen, I must go home. lam not feel ing well. I want to tbank you for what you have done for me. This result, after 40 days of sickness, shows that 1 have friends. Next Tnesday I will land you all, with tbe Republi can party, on the shore of victory. Good night It was a short speech, lrat evidently all that Mr. Wyman could stand. He at once left the hall and was conveyed to his home. WHO THE CANDIDATE IS. Mr. Wyman is only 39 years old, and is a contractor by profession. He has served in both branches of Councils, being elected to Common Council in 1882 and to Seleet Coun cil tbe year following.

Doughty brought Samuel Young, colored, to the jail on two commitments for assault and battery on oath of Mrs. Elizabeth Vin cent before Alderman Doughty. It appears that Young boarded in the house of Mrs. Vincent on Mulberry allev, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets, and had been drinking for some few days. He is said to have assaulted Mrs. Vincent and to have thrown her youngest child out of bed. When the officers went to arrest Young last night at his boarding house he resisted, and had his clothes torn badly in his at tempts to escape.
