1 he I'sual Off V car Vote.
1'liilaili lj.liia. Feb. IK. The niiinlcliiiil
election lioro today passed off quietly
and the It utibllcnns made their usual
sweep on tho candidates fur county of
fices. The county ollleers voted for
were city solicitor and two police iiik
Istrates, as under the law both the Ite
pulilicauti and lemorats art) each en
titled to one, and Kdward A. Devlin
and Maurice- F. Wlllier." were respec
tively re-oleoted on the Hepublican and
Democratic tickets. John I.. Klnsey.
the present city solicitor, was re-elected
over Arthur Diddle, the Democratic
candidate, l.y a majority of probably
fid.niMi. The Democratic vote was light,
but the Kopublicnn vote was heavy for
an "off yur." The heavy Ilepuhllcan
vote was due nrincipally to the bitter
factional llsrht between tlie Ilepuhlicatis
themselves.
The "combine," as the faction headed
by David Martin Is known, and the
IJttayiteH praimled In a stru-fRli over
coiincilinanlc candidates. Tho Qtiayites
did not make a llht In every ward in
tlie city n pa in st the regular candidates
of tho party, but only in certain wards.
In some Instances in these wards tlie
ijuayltcs anil Democrats united on the
same candidate, and In others the
"combiners" und the Dcmocruts were
arrayed aura Inst the Quayites. A pain,
in other of the wards, three straight
tickets were nominated. OwIiik to these
complications it Is ditlleult to learn w.ith
whom the victory In the conncllmanic
llxlit rests. Charxes of wholesale fraud
In some of the wards are belli)- freely
made. The Municipal leaRtic. a reform
ti'KtinlSint ion. also nominated candi
dates for c-ouncilmen. and In some In
stances indorsed either the combine"
candidate or tlie Quay candidate, lint
from returns received, the lennue does
not seem u.t have cut much of a (inure
in the liKht.

serious breaks Into the "combine"

heavily in the slight representation
they hail in councils. Their strongest
representation wus in select council,
where they hud seven members out of

Cambridge. Mass.. Feb. IS. There Is
manifest indignation among the Harv
ard ccllege faculty and an undercurrent
of some excltment among tlie students,

appeared at tlie house of Dean Hriggs
in response to an Invitation bearing the
signatures of the Dean and Mrs. Hriggs.
to attend a reception. Neither the dean
nor his wife were responsible for the
Invitations. The affair caused great
amusement, and the dean himself seems
to unpreciate the situation, but the
faculty does not, and it now seems like
ly that an investigation is about to be

A MANUFACTURER'S JOY.
How a Gentleman Was Made Happy After
llellad Begun to Despair.
One of the best and most prominent
establishments In Cohoes, N. Y., is the
Tlvoll Hosiery mills, owned by the itoot
.Manufacturing company. Mr. C. Fred.
lCuot, a prominent officer in the com
pany, has been during the past seuso.t
suffering from a severe cold and pains
in the chest, with a strong tendency to
pneumonia. He experienced all tie
symptoms which accompany sucli
troubles, including lack of energy, loss
of appetite and tlie general depression
which comes to people threatened with
this terrible disease. Pndor the advice
of a friend Mr. Itoot liegan the use of
Dr. Acker's Knglish llemcdy for Con
sumption. He says: "I tried this great
P.enicdy. and after a very few doses
found absolute relief and an entire cur.,
and was thereby saved from a severe
illness. I can highly recommend Dr.
Acker's Knglish Hcinedy to all who
may he allllcted as 1 was."
We mention tills case of Mr. Itoot us
one of very many which are coming
constantly to our notice, where this
great I'.tigllsh Kemedy has proved not
only effective, but almost marvelous in
its power. Its popularity in Antert:a
is fast becoming equal to that in Kng
land. nnd it fully merits all that can bo
said In lis favor. Any man or woman
who has a cough, pains In the chest, de
pressed feelings or any of the symp
toms common to pneumonia or con
sumption should not hesitate a mo
ment, but take this Remedy befoto It
is too lute.

Interest in this now famous-case cen
ters in the story of the colored cub

have driven Walling, Jackson and the
girl to the scene of the murder on the

hills or the Kentucky highlands, detail
ing tlie most minute incidents of the
Journey. He tells of the sobbing girl

en back, susnecting that everything
wu-s not right; told how Jackson held
her ilk the vehicle, while Walling sat
upon the driver's seat beside him com
pelling him to drive according to his di
rections at the muzzle of u revolver,
und told of his llnal stop in that desolate
spot, where the murderers drugged the
feebly resisting girl front the cub and
carried her through the undergrowth
to where her headless body was after
ward found. Here, according to the
negro's statement, lie heard tnuflled
moans and sounds of a sctillle In the
hushes, when un awful fear seized him
und he fled from the spot.
In his narrative, which the body re
told In police court this morning, he
gave a description of the cub used, told
how the buck window hail been broken
In the struggle with tlie girl, and how
he had bent tlie lump when he sprang
