During the early hours of the morning residential streets presented an appearance of life. The voters were getting out bright and early. On the extreme east and west sides of the city and in the down town tenement districts the streets wore thronged. It is doubt fill if in years there have been so many officials and workers about the polls. All parties had legions of men employed, and these, added to the inspectors, ballot clerks, police, United States marshals and supervisors, made the scene a lively one. The workers were unusually urgent in their appeals to voters, and in many cases the methods of the Baxter street merchant princes, made fa mous the country over in song and story, were discounted. During the early hours all indications poi ited to a quiet election. In the polling places there was" avi unusual scene of activity. In the first place the new ballot law is not yet clear to all citizens, and time jmd time again clerks had to instruct voters. Tho most frequent mistake was made in folding the ballot, lengthwise lirst. Another mistake was made in folding tho edges oven instead of up to the perforated stubs, Countless ballots were destroyed arid new sets furnished to confused voters. There were more ballot boxes than usual on account of the three constitutional amendments that were voted on, and this indicates that the count up after the close of the polls will take longer than usual. There were many among the voters who had not oven heard that the constitutional amendments were to bo voted on, and as these amendments were only specified and not printed in full in negative and affirmative ballots many did not vole them at all. There was no doubt by 11 o'clock that a big vote was being polled, far beyond the expectations of many of the leaders. In some of the polling places, particularly in the tenement A i i. ^ie * i. - - - * ? uiotricm, muic Liiit ) nail 01 uie loun vote had been polled by 9 o'clock, and linos of men extended out into the street waiting their turn to deposit their ballots. The two local candidates for mayor, Gilroyand Einstein. were up bright and early and Started out to vote and tnako the rounds of the polling places. Gilroy devoted his attention to the Harlem districts. Ho will spend tho afternoon and evening at Tammany ^ Hall. Einstein drove about the uptown brownstone districts and seemed satisfied that his pal'ty Vote was being polled rapidly. lie will spend tho afternoon at his headquarters. The total number of election districts in this State is 5,017, of which 1,137 a^o in New York city, 048 in Brooklyn and 3,232 outside of New York and Brooklyn. Returns from the State are furnished by the New York Associated Press, and from New York and Brooklyn by tho New York City Press Association, comparisons as far as possible are with the vote of 1888. New York. November 8.?Thirteen hundred and twelve districts r. ?. outside of New York and Brooklyn r give UlevelanU 157,5214, Harrison 182, 078. The same districts in 1888 gave Cleveland 101,036, Harrison 105,202. WHAT Tim THIllUNK BAYS ABOUT IT. New Yohk, November 9?2 A. M. ?The Tribnne says this morning editorially: The re urns received at this hour of writing are notsatisfao tory to the Republicans. Democratic dispatches are claiming everything but Cleveland would have been elected several months ago if Democratic claims had been equivalent to returns. It oan only be said at this hour that the returns are uot at hand to justify the assortior that several greut Western States have given their electoral votes to Cleveland, and without those votes he is still in danger of disappointment. Republicans have failed to carry New York. "The machinery in the great Democratic cities has turned out majorities4 sufficient to overpower the votes of the Republican counties, which appear to have been cut down beyond expectations. With New York, New Jersey and Connettu?'wl four or five probable votes frr ^an, and a South made raud and wholesale dtp*' 1/^?^ Suffrage, Cleve' '*hout IlifcaWaiti\Li,\ I. 210 electoral votes, needing only thoseof Indiana or Illinois to insure his elecetion. At present writing Indiana and Illinois arc claimed by both parties, hut without suflicieutly full returns to place the result in either State beyond doubt." The Tribune then argues to demonstrate that tbe result hangs upon the returns from Delaware, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois, and adds that it is needless to say that the result will he a groat disappoint ment to Republicans, because they have confidently relied upon the assurance of long experienced leaders in different States whose knowlede of the people's wishes has rarely been defective. c0uld not stand reid.

Returns are, of course very incomplete yot, but there is no doubt that Cleveland and Altgold, the Democratic candtdate for Governor, have carried Chicago by not less than 18,000. Returns from the country districts indicate that the Republicans have lost slightly in all sections from the voto of four years ago. The Republicans charge their loss to the fact that the Germane general 1 voted the Democratic ticket on aocountof their opposition to the compulsory school Inw. INDIANA 18 ALL RIGHT.

Va, November 8.?The election in this city and county passed off very quietly, with a full vote at everv proeint hoard from, but owing to the blan kot sheet balloting is very slow, with no report of results from the smallest precincts. There was a great deal of scratching and it is doubtful if any returns will ho brought in before 1 oi 2 o'clock in the morning. The vote in the city will not bo counted before 3 o'clock, if by that time. Democrats are confident that they have elected their ticket, while the Republicans are just as confident. Betting has ceased and all are feverishly awaiting returns. In the State all passed off cpiietly. The weather was clear and cool. Under State law counting does not begin until the polls aro closed.

The effect of rhe perfect weather and soft, warm air of Indian sutnmor, made itself manifest at the close of the day in the enormous vote rolled up. Massachusetts'vote, it is safe to say, is tho largest ever cast. Reports from New Hampshire and Connecticut also indicate a large vote. rtti ii %? * i no result win no slow returns. In this city, though the polls opened at C A. M. and closed at 4, and though the tedious double count required last year was removed 'by the General. Court last winter, returns at the city hall were slow in eoniing in and much more taruly than last year, when the first p.tecinet reported within twenty minutes after the polls had closed. The same slowness is characteristic of the whole State. What is lacking is truth and confidence. If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other, it wouldn't bo necessary for the makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy to back up a plain statement of fact by a *500 guarantee. They say?"If wo can't cure you (make it personal please,) of catarrh in the head, in any form or stage we'll pay,you $-*>()() for your trouble in making the trial.' "An advertising fake," you say.

In An Agony of TorturePhiladelphia Times. Cincinn v i i, November 3.?A case of horrible torture enmo to light today. For months Mary A.

Dr. Oelschlager, tho family-, physician pronounced tho ease hopei loss, hut Tuesday (lustay I fo^Pn a horse doctor and liniment peddler, put in an appearance and declared i he could euro tho girl. The parents having consented to i the treatment, he brought a pack of timothy hayseed, which he put into | a tub and steeped in boiling water. lie sat a small chair in the water | and made the girl sit in it, covered ! with heavy blankets. The hot steam burned her and she began screaming. The mother and younger sister tried to get her awav, but the horse doctor stood guard and forced the girl to endure it for half an hour. Her screams alarmed the neighbors and an excited crowd gathered, but the "doctor'' would brook no interference. IK It HI II I-K AtioNY. Taking her from her torturo of hot steam ho laid her on a bed. The skin hung from her legs in twisted strings. He bound the legs in linen bandages, drawing the rolls us tight as he could. Then he took a pint bottle of horso liniment and saturated the bandages. At this the girl's screams became terrific, but the "doctor" said that was good for her.

Kot twenty-five hours the girl lay and mounel, never once clos:ng her eyes, and becoming at no time unconscious. At I o'clock this morning she died. The coroner was summoned and after viewing the body, which was literaily cooked, and learning the facts pronounced it the most * fearful and agonizing case of tho many that have come to his notice. The father is frantic and declares he will kill Iloyer, for whom warrants will be issued. Some Prison StatisticsThe statistics of prisoners for the year 1800, which have been collected by the Warden's Association of tlio United States and Canada, present some facts which will, we take it, be a surprise to tho general public, as j for example the percentage of criminals among those engaged in agriculture as an employment. Thus tho percentage of persona engaged in agriculture was, hy the census of 18t)0 11,10 of tho whole population tho percentage of persons engaged in agriculture who were convicted of crimo suilioient heinous to merit imprisonment in thirty eight of tho penitentiaries of the States and Territories wui 15.27- Hut, while the percentage in relation to population, of persons engaged in mining, manufacturing and mechanical pursuits was 22.00, tho parcentago of such persons convicted of crime was but 0.55. Which is to say, that, while the agricultural population is hardly double that engaged in mines, manuf.tbturos and | mechanics tho criminal population from agricultural sources is nearly two and a half times as great. The agricultural population is not quite four times as great as that engaged in trade and transportation, but the ! number of agricultural convicts is nearly five' times as great. This is a showing, we take it which will occasion surprise. Another suiprising showing is that the proportion ef illiterate is only about 10 per cent among white convicts and less than 20 per cent, among convicts of all classes. In the thirty eight State prisons, of the 0,850 prisoners of both sexes, only 227 were women, of whom 80 wero colored, a small number comparitively and accounted for in some degrco by lhe fact that sev eral of the States have seperated prisons for women. Tho statistics are worthy careful tudy.?Boston Traveler.
