The Republican plurali ties on Congress at Large and Congrew, and the county ticket range from about 1,700 to 2,100. The work of tabulating the vote was be gun laat Thursday nooD, and was finished by Saturday night, but the tollers did not finish counting the immense array of figures until Tuesday afternoon. The work of tabulating was delay ed by mistakes made by some ol the election boards, fifteen ol which had ti be sent for to make correc tions. The only serious mistake was made by the board of Cranberry twp., which did not connt the votes for Meredith and Bit ter where the voter had marked in the Republican circle. The ballot box of that twp was opened and these votes were added to that of the township. Two boards to &ave time dittoed the vote on electors and that did not pass; and the other mistakes were caused by a misprint in the oaths, which some of the boards did not notice. The totals tor the county are as iollows. COUNTY TOTALS. For President.

People ware here from all over the county, and one delegation—the Millers town— marched in the parade. The Ladies Brigade from Evans City was expected,but there was soue trouble regarding trans portation and it did not come. Though our streets were crowdod every thing passed off without accident and much oredit is due Col. Kedio and bis able assistants for their management. Pennsylvania is the banner State.

'■William McKinley" The London ' Telegraph" publishes an interview had by it* correspondent at C<nt>,n, 0 , with President-elect McKin ley. Mr. McKinloy was asked to send a mnsqage to England, lie replied: "Not directly from mo. but you may sav that no W >rds wilLbetter express my feeling to wards England than 'Peace on earth good will toward mon.'" Tho corraspondent. said he was charmed by Mr. McKinley's geniel and cordial manner, adding that n ibody in such a position could be more unafi'eoted and unassuming. Somebody has figured out that the next U. 8. Senato will have h majority of ten for sound money— so to 40. Asher I). Updegrall', tho Treasarer elect of Lyooining county, was born under a luckv star. In the Democratic County Convention he and W. G. Mliler were a tie. A silvor dollar was flipped to settle tho tie. and Updegraff won. When the official count was completed it was found that Updegrsff was elected over Buok, Ills Republican competitor, by 20 votes. Crawford county sends three Democrats to the Legislatuie.

It was to lie expected that the practical working of the Baker Ballot law would develop points concerning which it might need amendment in the int> rest of the people at large, and it is evident that the necessity of one amendment has been dis closed by the election this year. Mo st voters must have noted the fact that the ticket voted at the last election contained Co hum s that were in fact duplicates of each other, so far as the l-.lect oral and State candidates were concerned. Some of these columns represented political parties of more or less importance, and were therefore justified by the facts of the case; but one of them—that headed " VleKinley Citizens"—was placed on the ballot simply to accommodate a faction of Philabelpliia politicians who wished to place the name of a bolting candidate for Sheriff amoug regular Republican nominations. It is probably in the long run good policy to encourage independent political action: but there is 110 good reason for doing it in any one county at the ex pense of the tax-payers of a 1 the other counties. The friends of Mr. Oow, the bolting Philadelphia candidate, may have been justified in placing on the ticket an extra column for his special advantag -, but it WJ*S evidently 110 advantage to him or to his backers to place that extra col umn 011 all the ballots printed in the State at large. It is plain that what was done in Philadelphia might have bren done in other counties, and in that event the ballot might have been made two or three times as large fs it was simply by the multiplication of useless columns of Electors and S'ate officers. It is evident that the law could be amended in this regard, so that indepen dent or bolting candidates may not be allowed hereafter to impose on the people of the whole State a ballot swollen out of all reason for the promotion of in dividual and political interests, as Mr. Alexander Crow did this year It is true that the Court of Dauphin county intimat ed that this useless column might have been knocked out of the ballot if it had been objected to in time; but it will be well to have the law provide allitma tively for such cases, so that local factional lights may not effect a change of the bal lot in the other counties of the State. In London, last Friday, Mrs. Castle the wife of a San Francisco millionare plead guilty to shop lifting and was sen tenced to three months imprisonment, but has since been released. A dispatch from Youngstown dated Sunday, said that from all sections of the Mahoning valley comes the intelligence that this week will be a busy one among the rolling mills. Employer and em ploycse alike are pleased with the result of the election, and impromptu jollifica tions in the mill yards. The Andrews Bros.' Company plant will be in opera tion in every department tomorrow. The puddle, plate and finishing mills of the ' Mahoning Valley Iron Company will be in operation this week. The Brown- Bonnell and the Union Iron and Steel Companies will also start their plants this week. Word came from Niles that all of the mills there will be in full blast this week. Employes of local mills were paid in gold last night. In all our jxjlitical history there has never been a canvas in which so many public speakers were employed inclearing ti]) the questions and expounding the principles and measures at issue. We suppose it is not an exaggeration to say that in the whole country ten thousand men were engaged traveling the laud in every direction and speaking at public meeting.- as they have been required. Thk result of the election of Congress men in Pennsylvania is exceedingly gratifying. Out of the thirty members constituting the delegation twenty-seven are Republicans standing solidly upon the party platform, one is an honest mon ey Democrat, one is a Democrat who has not committed himself to the question, and there is one who is an out and out Bryan ite. Oh! yes: Jefferson was right. The pco pie are to be trusted. They can govern themselves. And Lincoln was right. The people cannot be foole 1 all the time. And the country is all right. The foundation has been laid for busiucss in restored confidence. ALEX RUSSELL. ALlorney-at-Law Office with Nowton Black, Esq South Diamond, Butlor- °n. Booming Wanamaker. The McKinley and liobart business men'a national committee met in Philadel phia, Tuesday night, and wound up busi ness. A permanent organization was then formed, to be known as the "Philadelphia Branch of tbe Xational League of Business Men." A telegram from iiark A.

The candiiacy ot ex-Pos'.master Gen eral Wanamaker for United States Sen ator from Pennsylvania was endorsed and a!l honorable meaus to promote his suc cess will bo tsken. SPEAKING for President-elect Mc Kinlev, Mark Hanna said: "The first movement he will make will be to ob tain sufficient revenue to conduct the government. Further issues of bonds would be altogether too dangerous. Bu-iness prosperity and stability demand that as soon as possible the government should 'oe on a paying basis. To this end an extra session of congress will be necessary, and President McKinley will undoubtedly call one soon after his in auguration. Legislation will be required to secure the desired revenue, and Mr. McKinley will do everything in his power to secure it, as well as the legal establishment of a policy which will tend to put everybody at work. In all this he hopes and expects that he will be backed by patriotic men, regardless of party lines." THE arbitration of the Venezuela dis pute is a settled fact. All arrangements have been completed and all details of the arbitration treaty between tbe United States and Great Britain arranged. The final terms of the treaty of arbitration were arranged in Washington, Monday night. The terms were cabled to Lon don and have been accepted. Spanish rule in Cuba faces a most perilous predicament. The loan of S2OO, 000,000 Spain tried to raise his failed for the present.

"I have before me," says Walter I?e --eant in a recent Issue of the London Queen, "the thirty-seventh annual re port. of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women. lam sorry to learn from this report that the demand | for women, clerks and bookkeepers is on the increase. "At the same, time I am informed in other quarters that thousands of men Clerks are tramping the street* of Lon don, wearing out shoe leather in going up and downstairs in the weary work of trying to find places. "They find, instead, women doing the work which, should keep tliem and their wives, for half the pay. One has no objection to women doing men's work if they get men's pay. They may even keep the men in idleness, if they please, like the laundresses. "How shall we make these promoters Understand the cut-throat policy of pushing women in everywhere, at half or quarter the pay and driving the men | abroad ? However, there are other and more satisfactory features about this : report. "In the lower walks something has > been done by the society in getting places for women as hairdressers— j will they ever become such admirable , artists in this walk as the men?—in find- 1 In# cooks and waitresses and in getting temporary work of all kinds for wom en. "But the numbers and figures given demonstrate that the work of the so ciety is but a drop in the ocean. We I have 40,000,000 of people, with 20,000,000 of women and girls, and all who are past the age of 15, with an insignificant minority of about 500,000, are clamoring for work." FALL OF A MONOLITH. Maul Rock, a Striking West Virgin!* Curiosity, In No More. Until a few days ago there stood about two miles south of Hamliti, in Lincoln county, W. Va., on a high, rocky point overhanging a vast expanse of rugged country, one of the most strik ing curiosities in the land, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Maul rock has been known as long as the country has been inhabited. The peculiar formation of the vast monolith gave it the name of Maul rock, the column supporting the capstone resembling the handle of a primitive maul. The height had never been measured, but must have been 100 feet.. Some 15 feet from the top the col umn widened uniformly, making the circumference some 60 or 70 feet. The handle, or shaft, was probably 00 feet in circumference. It was almost round. The rock Is of sandstone of the usual hardness. Near the base there were perceptible and indications of decay, and this disintegration has been going on for ages, until finally it weakened so that the strain could be borne no longer and it fell. Thousands of visitors from Ohio, Ken tucky, Virginia and West Virginia cities have been attracted thither, and plcnio and outing parties have been held there almost daily during the summer months under the shadow of the giant rock and the foliage of the great oaks. A limb of one of these monarchs overhung the apex of the stone, and those who were venturesome hare frequently ascended and passed to thA top of the rock, which was flat and aflorflcd ample room for 20 or more persons. CONVOYED BY A WHALE. FiclSc Ocean Hhlps Ascompaaled on • Voyage by a Monster of the Deep. Pacific ocean whales are sometimes very friendly, especially off the coast of Los Angcalfs county, Cal. On more than one occasion they have astonished if not alarmed sailing parties who have been becalmed. These whales, says the New York Journal, are harmless, and their atten tions are merely from curipshj, but to proximity la not altogether pleasant. What is supposed to be the same whale lias recently earned a reputation for friendliness. During tho summer months it frequently met a large steam er off shore and either followed It along or played ul>out, entertaining the pas>- sengers by spouting. On one trip tho whale placed itself ahead of the steamer and swam with it so deliberately that the captain was obliged to slow down and finally stop, fearing to run into the huge creature. On another occasion the steamer had on board as passengers the Medical So ciety of California, consisting of sev eral hundred physicians. When about half way over, the whale appeared and at once displayed unusual friendliness. It swam up to the vessel, and turning followed her along so near that the spray of Its spouting came aboard and the eye of the monster could be plainly seen. The steamer slowed up for a few minutes occasionally as the whale be came too friendly, and the passengers bad a fine opportunity to nee a whale but a few feet away. Vreah Masiacre*.

Why the Soldlrrt In the Kogliith Army Are Arr»y«r«l In S<-arlft. The scarlet uniform of the British in fantry bas been greatly criticised in re cent years, chiefly on the ground that it exposes the men to needless danger by disclosing their whereabouts to the en emy. The objection taken to the scarlet, however, is groundless, and scientific j leasons are given why the prevailing i lolor is for jdl purposes the most suit- | able that could be selected. In the first place, scarlet affords the ' best attainable protection against the 1 extremes of heat and coid to which sol diers are liable to be exposed. The darker the color protecting a warm body the more rapidly radiation proceeds. White would be the best color to reduce radia tion to a minimum, but white is barred by other considerations, as are also all the grays. Scarlet or red comes midway between white and black or other dark colors, while with reference to protec tion from the run scarlet takes a far higher place than any of the blues, greens or drabs and other shades often used for military clothing. Yellow and orange are excluded be cause these colors are particularly con spicuous at a long distance. Although scarlet or rod is more conspicuous than gray, when the sun 6hinos directly on the troops it blurs on the sight and is consequently more difficult to hit. With existing rifles the actual result of a fight is usually decided at a dis tance just outside the effective range of the weapons. This distance lies between 600 and 800 yards. Nearer than that it is impossible to close without replying to the enemy's fire, and as soon as the return fire whistles about the defend ers' heads the possibility of aiming rap idly and accurately decreases. Therefore, from this point of view, it is unimportant whether the object to be hit is conspicuous or net, but from a moral point of view it is a serious con sideration. Within 700 yards each sub sequent advance is conditioned by firo superiority already achieved, the de fenders are shaken, the time for count ing heads is past, and the mental im pression conveyed by tho sight of the assaulting troops bi*omes the main point. It is a distinct advantage that our men should bulk large in the decisive stages of iui encounter, and there is no color which enables them to do this so effectively as scarlet. On the whole, therefore, every scientific consideration justifies the retention of scarlet as the best uniform for our troops.—Strand Magazine. Tlie Cause of Rainfall. Rain is, as we all know, the moisture of the atmosphere condensed into drops largo enough to fall with perceptible velocity to the earth. Tho variation in the sizes of the drops is dependent upon tho difference in tho height from which they havo fallen and to the amount of atmospht ric disturbance present at the time, ll the;- fall from great heights, the drops sutler gradual division into smaller and smaller parts until they are at last converted into mists. In calm weather, with the clouds near the earth's surface, the drops aro apt to be largo and heavy. The formation of rain is in general a continuation or an enlarge ment of the processes by which clouds and fogs are formed. Tho deposition of moisturo depends upon tho cooliDg of tho atmosphere, but concerning tho pre cise process by which the cooling is ef fected various opinions aro entertained even among those who havo made me teorology a lifo study. In considering tho matter wo have deduced our reck onings from trhat is considered tho best authority on the subject. From this it appears that tho temperature of a given mass of warm air is lowered in tho or dinary course of atmospheric phenomena by one or the other of tho processes mentioned in tho following: By radia tion to the cold sky, by radiation to the neighboring masses of clouds or tho cold ground, by mixturo with cool a\r or by the absorption of heat in tho ex pansion of ascending columns of air. Whatever the process may be, one tliiug -- «nr« thu cool nil/ lunnfc t.»Uo t>lac« I*>- foro tho moisture will collect into drops of sufficient sizo to cause them to fail from tho mass of vapor in which tho eonstituent parts have been floating.— S*. Liouis F The Itorlng of Glau. Strong glass plate" aro bored through by means of rotating brass tubes of tho necessary diameter, which aro filled with water daring boring. To tho water thore is added finely pulverized emery. It is said that thinner glass can bo per forated with holes in an easier manner by pressing a di.sk of wet clay upon tffo gltuj.s and making a holo through tho clay of the width desired, so tlmt at that spot tho glass is laid baro. Then iuolton lead is poured into the hole, and lead and glass drop down at once. This inothod is based upon tho quick local heating of tho glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, tho outline of whioh corresponds to tho outline of tho hole made in the clay. The cutting of tubes, cylinders, etc., in factories is based upon tho sarno principle.—New York Ledger. Sorry lie Spoke.
