The election was held to fill the va- cancy in the state senate caused by the death of the late Senator Pinkney J. Ben- nett, who had been elected at the Novem- ber election by a plurality of 48 votes. The democratic candidate was Dr. Joshua W. Hering, and the republican candidate was Dr. J. J. Weaver, jr., the same gentleman who was defeated by Mr. Bennett in No- vember. The vote polled was one of the heaviest ever cast in the county, attesting the inter- est of the people. It is true that it fell 409 short of that cast in November, including the prohibition vote, which was 7,876, but it exceeded that at the presidential election of 1892 by 186. The vote, compared with that cast in No- yember for the democratic and republican candidates, is as follows Saturday—Hering, 3,7! November—Bennett, 3 M4; Weaver, Hering’s majority, 37; Bennett's majori 48. 90 William Suppelbend of Brooklyn, twenty- nine years of age, a blind soap peddier, has Killed his only child, a little girl four years old, by cutting her throat, and then shot himself dead with a pistol.

RACING AT BENNING Play was resuned in the international chess tournament at St. Petersburg Satur- day, when one game resulted as follows: Pillsbury (white) drew with Steinitz after fifty-five moves, the game being a queen’s gambit declined. Lasker was ill, and so the game with Tschigorin was not played. Pillsbury opened his game. strongly and had everything his own way. At the sec- ond sitting he grew careless, as in his other game with Steinitz, and thus lost a chance to win. The present score: Pillsbury, 3%; Lasker, Tschigorin, 1 3; Steinitz, 1%; Southern Baxe Ball League. The Southern Base Ball League at Satar- day’s session, at Birmingham, appointed Henry Powers of New Orleans and George Stallings of Nashville a committee with power to act to fill the three vacancies now existing In the league. This committee will select Chattanooga, Knoxville and Birming- ham if they come up to the requirements. ‘The salary limit was fixed at $1,000. The president war instructel to cozre- spond with President Young of the Natloz al League, witha view to securing the pro- tection of class A. Dr, White of Nashville and B. L, Holt of Moiitgomery were made a committee on constitution and by-laws. ‘The session them adjourned to meet on January 26 in Chatta- nooga, when officers will be elected. GOLF A PERMAN GAME. The Success of the Tournament As- sures the Pa ularity of the Sport. The second annval tournament of the Washington Golf Club closed Saturday even- ing, and its success, in point of the interest taken by members and their friends and the excellent play shown by the contestants in the matcies, proved gratifying in the ex- treme. The result abundantly shows that golf has come to stay as a sport in Wash- ington, and it is beyond question now that the votaries of the game will rapidly in- crease in number. The finals in the hole match for the president's cup were not be- gun until nearly 2 o'clock, owing to the non-arrivel of Messrs. Lockett and Horace lie, Who were to contest for the place of ing the deciding round with Mr. George Felten, who drew a bye the night before. Mr. Lockett beat Mr. Wylie by one hole, and it was then too dark for him to play with Mr, Hellen, who had been at the links all day and ready to play. Under the rules, therefore, the president’s cup goes to Mr. Hellen by default, but that gentleman de- clines it under those terms, and the play- ing committee of the club is endeavoring to decide the matter without transgressing the rules and making a precedent that may be found obnoxious at some future fime. In spite of starting in the stroke match for the championship medal with the heavy handicap of six points below scratch against him, Mr. Herry May, the club president, made an easy winning by some remarkably good playing, scoring 55 points to 48 for the nearest of his eight competitors. RACES AT BENNING. Reorganization of the Washington Jockey Club. A list of stake events will soon be an- nounced for the race meeting to be held early next spring. at the Benning track un- der the auspices of the Jockey Club. These stakes will be announced simultaneously with those of the National Steeplechase As- sociation ard the Westchester Racing As- sociation. Mr. S. Howland, who is to be made president when the V Jockey Club is reorganized, had a con: tation with Secretary Crickmore of the Westchester Association the other day re- garding the Benning stakes, and a high- class program is sure to be the result. Today's Foot Ball Game. The foot ball teams representing the Orient and Canterbury Athletic Clubs will meet this afternoon at National Park. The line-up will be made up of the following: Orients—Miller, Saers, Brown, Rollins, Wood, Richmond, Lyman, Kimmel, Walker, Campbell, Bright, Oertly, Compton, Good- oe Duffy, Lewis, Avis, Aiton, Raub and ice. Y Ganterburys—Burne; Willlams, Corrigan, Downey, Costinett, Langley, Mackay, Boyle, Peterson, Watson, Hopper and Boyd. The Associntion Game. A hotly contested game of association foot™ball was played Saturday between the Philadelphias, champions of the Pennsylva- nia State League, and the Caledonias, champions of the American Assoctation, at Cosmopolitan Park, Kearny, N. J. The Cal- edonias won by a score of 2 goals to 1. The crowd of spectators numbered 2,000, show- ing that association foot ball is becoming popular. ——. —_ Thefts Reported. A sneak thief stole a gray overcoat Sat- urday morning from the hallway of Henry Phister’s house, 612 18th street. Mrs. M. Carry reports to the police that a hat box, containing a black velvet bon- net, was stolen on Saturday from her c&r- riage, while it was on N street near 7th street northwest. A box containing perfumery was stolen about a week ago from in front of E. P. Mertz's drug store, 11th and F streets. The loss was reported 'to the police. T. Lippard, 617 3d street northwest, re- ports to the police that his Hartford biecy- cle was stolen on Saturday night from 15th and F streets northwest. W. J. Edwards of 1012 13th street re- ported to the police this morning that a pair of trousers were stolen from his nouse last night. ‘A Liberty bicycye belonging to Dr-Dilling- back of 1830 9th street was stolen from in front of his house yesterday evening, ‘The loss was reported to the police this morn- ing. ‘Two overcoats were stolen Saturday night from the house of W. T. Gary, No. 17 Grant place northwest. The police were uotilied this mornin SE The Use of Alr Jets. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. There are few more useful things in lathe work than the air jets, which, strange to say, are used for polishing purposes in- stead of water. In turning soft steel shaft- Ing it is customary to use water to which a certain percentage of sal soda ‘has been added, in order that the water may not rust the finished work, and with a keen tool of the proper temper and wide enough cutting edge to cover the feed, a very smooth and shining surface can be pro- duced. By usfng a small air jet—that is, air issu- ing from an orilice of about 1-16th of an inch in diameter—the work can be finished very much the same as If water is used. A smooth surface will be produced, with this important difference, that the tool will not crowd, and consequently the shaft will be nearer true and straight when using a com- pressed air jet than when using water. The same sized air jet may be used to advan tage at different places around the shop. It is excellent for cleaning off benches and machines, and is much to be preferred to the common dust brush used for this pur- pose. It is also very convenient at the drill press for blowing out the chips, in drilling and tapping bottom holes. ——$§$-e-__—_ The republican state central committee held a stormy meeting at New Orleans Thursday. 1t was a pitched battle between the Warmouth faction, favoring McKinley, and the Kellorg faction, supporting Reed.
