For the past six weeks the local po litical situation has bren freely dis cussed by ail the factions.

It Was fliven to a Tusic House in This City. Recently there came a resident of the country Into the city who had a violin which he wished to have repair ed. He left It with Mr. Peter A. Bren ner, paying the repair charges. A week or so later a country man r ime In. He said that he was a neigh bor of Mr. Jones’ and Mr. Jones had asked him, as he was coming lo town, to get the violin and bring it with him. "Have you an order from Mr. Jones?” asked Mr. Brenner. "No. sir; he jest told me to fetch it when I come to town.” Tbe honest - looking old gentleman seemed a Hit hurt at the Intimation. Mr. Brenner told him that be must give him a receipt for the violin. When lie handed the violin to th" farmsi’ the-latter wrote on the receipt snd banded it to Mr. Brenner, Heiv 1t is: “Tak-em the fiddle. John Smith.” The Major Will Come.

The remaining ones were c*rricl to the llrenucr ihome In the city and thrown into the i yard. Two days before Christman in B*i2 Mr. t’etrr A. Brenner, on a cold. dis-| mal day, decided to build a fire in hl*j room, a* he had a good book nnd wished to finish Its perusal that after noon and evening. He guthcred, for kindling wood, a nong other things, a couple of the ,• Igiir boxes. He noticed that one of ih- boxes sefl.ned rather heavy and was about to en*t 11 nslilc as waler roaked, when It oceuired to him that there might be something in it. H'“ | 1 opened (he lid and found it to be filled j with greenbacks. There appeared ou i the top $5 and *lu bills, snd the mone; was wadded and pressed into the box. As stilted the box was of the kind ihu' held 100 cigars. Mr. Brenner ran with , the box to his father ami dl*pla>eil to him the rich find. "Do not open it further, my son. the gentleman said. "Do not count the money. It belongs to others and 1 have knowledge that will aid us in i restoring tt to It* original owner." He then )>ade his son to suitably wrap the box, to prepare a letter de tailing the Incidents In connection with the discovery of the box and its contents to Mrs. Carlos Pedro Lope/, ' [ whose address the elder Mr. Brenner knew. ! it seems that after leaving Augusta Lope* disappeared as if lie had been j swallowed up by the earth. Nothing • was ever heard from him afterward, and though it Is known that he Is dead, the manner of his death, nnd where it occurred arc not known. The good lady, reduced in circumstances and in need of the money, acknowl edged the receipt of the treasure 111 a most grateful letter. It reached her on Christmas day and came as a send ing from God. I asked Mr. Brenner if he could give an idea of the amount of money in the box He said he could not. He re peated that the hills were pressed bard and fast into every portion of the receptacle. It is positive that thous ands-of dollars could be forced into a box in this way. Didn’t Get a Majority.

I don’t see why a ward should elect a partisan councilman for or against any man who is a candidate for mayor.

The Cost of Steam Power. The decrease in the. cost of steam power between the years 1870 and 1807 has l oan figured out by F. W. Dean a mt .'hanlcal engineer, as nearly 40 „er cent. Seventeen per cent of this is attributed to the use of multip o cylinder engines, steam jacketing, higher steam pressure and superheat ing the steam. Five per cent is due to the use of vertical engines, t per cent to improved boilers, 7 per cent «, economy reallwd in neaOng the feed Water, and t per cent is put down to the credit of improved construction or grates. Taking the best perfom auces of the two period* named, the least consumption of steam par hot se nower in 1870 was 20 pounds, whereas tbe best for 1897 was 12*4 pounds. .
