i NEWS IN BRIEF, Compiled from Various Sources, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. ' A dispatch from General Wolseley to Iiondon'Was to the effect that natives had brought information that Gordon was still in possession of Khartoum. Mr. Blaine voted at Augusta, accompanied to the polls by his two sons. Mr. Cleveland exercised his right of franchise in Buffalo, taking his place in the line witli other voters, after which he immediately left for Albany. Returns from the election received up to the morning of the ttth left the result on the National ticket still In doubt, both sides claiming success with equal pertinacity. Connecticut and New Jersey were conceded to the Democrats, the pivotal States being New York, West Virginia and Indiana, in which itiappeared the official figures would be necessary to determine the result beyond peradventure. In the mass of contradictory dispatches received it was utterly impossible to arrive at a definite conclusion. General Grant did not vote at tho election on the 4th, being confined to his room by lameness. On the 6th Mr. Blaine was reported to have been taken suddenly ill, and his physicians prescribed absolute rest. On tho 6th Frank O’Donnell, of the Home llule party in the British Parliament, was suspended in the HousCwnf Commons for disregarding the authority,of the Speaker.

elect. Op to the morning of the 7th returns received indicated that New York had gone for Cleveland and Hepdricks. The Republican managers, however, still claimed to have carried the State. The majority claimed on either side was so small that the revised count will be necessary to defl- * nitely determine which side has really won the battle. If it proves that Cleveland has been successful in New York he will have 219 electoral votes. The excitement attendant upon the receipt of the delayed returns in the principal cities during the day and evening of the 6th was of the most intense description, and only wise precautionary measures of the police in some instances prevented serious collisions. Both parties were crying fraud, and the expression was freely made from Democratic sources that no repitition of ’76 would be tolerated. Ox the 24th Lieutenant Greely was presented with an elegant silver service by the Greely Testimonial Committee at his home in Newbury pert, Mass.

II v e to ine morning or the 8th the political situation was still mixed. The election of Cleveland and Hendricks was still confidently announced by the Democrats on the basis of their returns showing that he had carried the State of New York, thus giving him 319 electoral votes. On the other hand the Republican managers continued to claim the State by a small plurality. The settlement of the mooted question will undoubtedly have to depend upou the official count. Meanwhile the Democrats are celebrating the victory they claim all over the country, and the National Democratic Committee have issued a manifesto calling upon their partisans tc see that they are not robbed of its fruit! by e. repetition of ’76. Partisan feeling was at a high pitch in all the principal cities, and only the most conservative act. tion of the cooler heads in both parties hat prevented serious collisions.

Cleveland’s nlurality, 1,218. Announcing the Triumphant Election of Blaine. New York, November 7.—The following comes from Republican headquarters: The Republican National Committee rejoices that the returns now received warrant It in announcing the triumphant -election of Blaine and Logan. The Republicans have carried every Northern State except New Jersey and Connecticut. Virginia seems also to have given a majority for the Republican cause and ticket, and there is a strong probability that West Virginia has also, while other Southern States are still in doubt. The Northern States alone, however, give to Blaine and Logan 225 electoral votes, and insures their election. In New York attempts to tamper with the returns have already been detected. The actual vote cast in New York City,King’s County and 1/852 election precincts gave at the utmost only 148 plurality to Grover Cleveland, . Spit . __. while 163 precincts not yet heard from gave 2,171 plurality to Garfield. There is, therefore, no ground for doubt that the honest vote of the State has been given to the Republican candidate, and although the defeated candidate for the Presidency is the head of the election machinery In this State, the Democratic party, which has notoriously boon the party of fraud In elections for years, will not bo permitted to thwart the will of the people. The National Republican Committee calls on the Chairman and the in-dividual-members of all County Committees to take tbe promptest and most stringest means to protect the sanctity of the ballot. The Republican candidates have been honestly e lected beyond a question. Any attempt to cheat the people and defeat their will thus expressed at the polls must be sternly exposed and resisted by every lawabiding citizen. [Signed] Samuel Fessenden, _ Secretary.

jwjui lupuuiug 9 Albany, N. Tf., November 7.—By the official returns reported from every county Cleveland and Hendricks’ have carried New Tork State by a sate and sure majority. No machinations or false claims or pretended majority of Mr. Blaine’s managers can change this result. The friends of honest government and honest elections can be everywhere assured that the Democratic State Board of Canvassers will see that the true vote is correctly declared. [Signed] ____Daniel Masking. The Committee of Eleven. New Yoke, Novembers.—The standing committee of eleven appointed at yesterday’s meeting of the Business Men's Cleveland and Hendricks' Club met a Humber of prominent lawyers last night in the Filth Avenue Hotel;' The object of the gathering was to consult and take action for the purpose of insuring a fair canvass of the votes in this State. There were present: Aaron J. Vanderpool, ex-Attomey-General Fairchilds, ex-Govcrnor Bedle, ex-Attorney-General Barlow, William C. Whitney, Gouvernenr P. Lowery, Francis B. Candert, James C. Carter, Distriot-Attorney Olney, Charles P. Miller, W. ”S. Opdyke, ex-Secretary Bristow, Congressman Hewitt and others. James C. Carter was elected chairman, and C. P. Miller Secretary. After discussion regarding the election laws, a reso«tutlon was adopted that a committee be appointed to Insure foil and fair returns of the vote in this city, and to take such further action as they might deem advisable. Wm. H. Barnnm, Senators Gorman and Jonas, of the Democratic National Committee, were present. Returns or Trouble. Nrw York, November 8.—The excitement in this city to-night over the dec

tion remains unabated, and thousands of persons visited the two National headquarters in hopes of ascertaining something definite as to the results. The hotels were also crowded with anxious throngs, and at the Hoffman House offers of three to one were made that Cleveland had carried the State. At nine o’clock the Seventh Regiment band marched down Twenty-fourth street and serenaded the Democratic headquarters. The street was packed by at least 6,000 people who kept a continual roar of cheers for Cleveland followed by the cry “No, no, no ’76!” and Gould, Gould, Blaine!” In acknowledging the serenade Senator Gorman sr. id: Cleveland and Hendricks have unquestionably carried the State of New York, and have beyond doubt 219 electoral votes. One President, duly elected, has been deprived of his office by fraud; but such a disgrace will never again be permitted in this country. The excitement is intense and seems to be increasing. The crowds are very enthusiastic, yet good-natured, and, so far, orderly; although all sorts of rumors are in circulation, as to what is likely to occur should the returns be delayed much longer. United Press Versus the Western Union. Nkw York, November 6.—Yesterday afternoon the Associated Press in a statement printed in the New York Evening Post figured out a plurality of 11,000 for Blaine in New York State. At this hour, with only twenty-three voting precincts to hoar from the Associated Press makes Blaine’s .plurality 432. No explanation of this sudden decrease of upward of 10,000 in Blaine’s alleged plurality is given. The United Press has not been able at any time since the polls closed, on Tuesday afternoon, to find a plurality for Blaine, but fearful that there might be errors in its data, it has refrained until now from making its inferences public. All its estimates, however, have been carefully made and they have been compared with figures received by others, including those received by the Associated Press, °and the outcome of many conferences between its experts has uniformly been a strengthening of the belief that the small, plurality which will be shown when the official vote is announced will be in favor of Cleveland instead of Blaine. “At this time the Republicans still figure a small plurality for Blaine, and the Democrats claim they have 1,000 or 1,500 plurality for Cleveland. The chances are that it will require an absolute count of the official vote to settle the question' of who is elected. The probabilities are certainly in Cleveland’s favor.

Dispersed by the Police. New York, November 6.—A large and excited crowd, numbering several hundred persons, assembled in front of the Western Union building last night hooting, shouting, burning paper, etc. A large force of police were detailed from the lower precincts of the city who quickly dispersed the throng. A large body of police, however, remain ill charge of the building. Inspector Thorne, Acting Superintendent of Police, established his headquarters at the Twenty-ninth Precinct Police Station, and issued an order., to all captains to keep their oft platoons on duty as reserves until further orders. Captain Williams stopped a Democratic procession on Broadway Composed of several thousand persons, and arrested the leader. Up to a late hour there was no further signs of disturbance. Almost a Biot. Augusta, Me., November 7.—The city was wild last night. Both parties paraded the streets. There was much ill-feeling. A Hallowcl man entered the Democratic headquarters and kicked in the head of a big base-drum. He was arrested. The Democrats purchased .a new dram and came out on the streets. On receipt of the National Republican Committee’s proclamation the Republicans howled like demons. Both parties then renewed their parading and tiring rockets.. The man who was beating the Democratic dram was struck in the head by a brick, receiving a severe wound and having one eye injured. Matters grew dangerous, until cooler heads persuaded both parties to return to their headquarters. This they did, but the Republicans soon came out again, followed by the Democrats, and- pandemonium reigned. Only by strong efforts on the part of the police were the two parties kept from a collision. Exciting Scene In Boston. Boston, Mass., November 7.—A crowd of two or three thousand surrounded the newspaper bulletins here last evening. The demonstrations, as favorable or unfavorable bulletins were posted, were more passionate than on Tuesday evening. On receipt of the manifesto of the National Republican Comittee the Journal issued an edition and bulletins declaring Blaine elected. Several young men began to burn copies of the paper in the street in front of the Journal office, and six of them were arrested for violating the city ordinance forbidding bonfires. One other was arrested for resisting the offices. . The Cleveland men soon brought out a picture of their candidate. The Blaine men charged on this and tore it to pieees. Soon after a rag baby appeared in front of the Journal office, suspended by a cord. The Cleveland men made a rush for this, but were driven back by the police, and the holder of the offensive aitiele took refnge In the Journal office. The different crowds then contented themselves with guying one another and cheering their candidates. The crowds were continually diminishing until at eleven o’clock the bulletins were soon deserted. The Journal, Herald, Record and Globe issued hourly editions up to 9 p. m.

intense .Excitement in Chicago. Chicago, Ili,., November <5.—The excitement in the city has been intense, bnt adherents of both parties have been eminently good natured hnd a dozen times since noon a great Kepublican throng in front of the Tribune office has cleared a passage way for as many Democratic parades. The newspaper offices have been besieged by thousands; the hotels, and headquarters of the State committees have been filled to overflowing, and business has, to a great extent, been suspended. Chairman John H. Hobertv. of the Democratic State Committee, was recognized by a rough who, after giving vent to opprobious epithets, drew a knife and was about to use it upon* the venerable chairman, when an officer ar rived and conveyed the man to the station. To-night thousands of Democrats are going through the principal streets cheering wildly for their standardbearers. Never Witnessed Such General, Exdte- ' ment. Philadelphia, Pa., November 7.—The police sergeants, who on Thursday make the district reports to the Chief of Police, •grew that they have never witnessed such general excitement amoug the people. The delay in reaching a decisive result in New York has only added to the intense excitement. Men stand and shiver in the cold regardless of everything in their anxiety to see the “latest bulletins.’’ Brlherjr, Intimidation, Ballot-Box Stuffing and Murder Chargud. Washington, D. C., November 7.—In reply to a telegram asking for information respecting the election in Louisiana)

The material entering into the manufacture of saws must of necessity be ol a peculiar character, besides which the maker of the steel as well as the saw maker should know nearly the rate ol speed at which the saw is to be run, for a saw running at a very high rate of speed needs, of necessity, to be of different temperature as regards the center. When a disk of steel is made into a saw the maker can hammer it so as to leave-either a soft or hard center. A saw having a soft center will wabble if a person takes hold of the edge and starts it vibrating, while if it has a hard center one part will not shake any more than another. Again, a saw with a hard center, if driven at a high rate of speed, will not cut off straight for the simple reason the center being hard it will not adapt itself to the different degrees of hardness of the timber, and will not resist the influence of unequal stiffness existing between the sawed board on one side and the solid log Oh the other. If, however, a saw has a soft center and is given a motion of 100 revolutions a minute or more, the centrifugal force, straining at the center, stiffens the saw and keeps the edge steady. People ordinarily seem to think that there has been the same straining after ornamental effect. in vertical saws, so odd are the shapes of the teeth. But with these saws we see again that the study of the manufacturer has been solely to produce the’ greatest possible strength and cutting power commensurate with the size and velocity of the saw- In conclusion, it will be noticed that some of the vertical -saws have dull teeth alternating with the sharp ones; by being properly made, the dull teeth do not reach out quite so far as the sharp ones, and are placed there for the purpose of keeping the saw-dust out of contact with the cutting or true teeth of the saw.—Midland Industrial Qazctte. And She Wasn’t Afraid. “Do you know, Mary,” said Laura, “that I think Mr. Thompson is one o! the most amusing of men?” “Why Laura,” said the other,I “ have always thought him rather dull, and I think I heard you say as much yourself. What do you seein him that is interesting." “Well, do you know,” said Laura, “that he offered to see me home from the church sociable last Wednesday night? I accepted his escort and he offered his arm and we started out. We walked along chatting for quite a long distance. Father and mother were a little way ahead of us. After a time Mr. Thompson said, suddenly: “ ‘Now, Miss Bennett, it is a great deal nearer for me to. turn off here and go home, and I guess you won’t be afraid to go the rest of the way alone. You can overtake your father and mother very easy, at all events,’ and before I could say a word he dropped my arm and dodged off through a cross street, and was lost in the darkness.” “Do you call that amusing? I should have been angry.” “I never was so amused at anything in my life. I think he is too deliciously funny for anything.”—Toledo Blade The Element of Time. No human plan is quite thorough which leaves out of count the element of fitting time. It costs no more laboi to plant one’s grain at the proper season than to plant it six months later: yet in the one case the grain wilLspring up into plentiful harvest, and in the other there will be no harvest at all. The element of time makes all the difference. There is a terrible fullaey in the thought that this task or that duty will only cost a moment’s labor, and that therefore it can he as easily done later as now. Do the right thing now, and time will add continually to it a compound interest of good; leave it to the last moment, and the good deed, while it costs you just as much, may be completely unproductive, so far as any special outcome is conoerned. Other things being equal, there is a decided gain in planting early, when one’s harvest may be up and growing; rather than in planting late, when life’s approaching winter forbids the hope of any adequate harvest.—8. 8.

A number of theClevelandorganizations met in their headquarters in the different wards of the city yesterday, and made arrangements to parade Wi th brooms and torches. Mayor Low, fearing trouble, requested Acting Superintendent of Police Murphy to stop all parades on the streets, whether the organizations had permits or not. The Cleveland men, when Informed of the Mayor’s orders, were much annoyed, and declared they could not stop their cheering, and accordingly made the streets ring during the evening-* with their campaign songs and cheers for their candidate. Ex-Senator Daggett, who has conducted the Kepubiican campaign in King’s County, was at the headquarters last night, and said he still felt confident, from ail he could learn, that Blaine was elected.

It is understood that they have already found indictments which charge certain persons with fraud in the canvass. Inspectors and poll clerks in the various election districts are required to furnish returns to the County Clerk, the Police Election Bureau and the Mayor, but returns from a number of election and assembly districts have not been received, and some of those received are incomplete. If it should appear that any of them have improparly withheld the returns, they will be prosecuted. The Assistant-District Attorney assigned to investigate the matter is disposed, however, to attribute their delinquency to ignorance in the majority of cases. Republican Claims. Nsw York, November & The Republican Committee claim to have evidence-to prove that the returns have been tempered with, particularly in Kings, Queens, Ulster ana St. Lawrence counties, and that in one polling district alone ia Ulster County, Cleveland had a majority of ninety-three over the whole voting population. ■ There is also a net gain of 800 Democratic votes in St. Lawrence County beyond the most liberal Kepubiican estimate of their opponent’s strength. These and similar points, it is said, Mr. Elkins intends to use through competent counsel before the Board of Canvassers, entering a formal protest on the ground ol fraud, and. then put the Presidential fight, as a last resort, into the courts.
