Cincinnati, October 10.—Odds are being offered by numbers of Democrats that John Sherman will not be the United States Sen ator. This is bused on the theory that there has been a canvass of the new members made* and information elicited that there are several Republican members who will not support Khermun, iu ease tlie Legislature is Republican. The outward claims from each headquarters at this point now ure that they will each have three majority on joint ballot, conceding that the Democrats will have Hamilton county solid. This county, with Ilardin aud Montgomery Senatorial districts, are the ones on which interest j list at present is centering. CoLL’MBFH, October 111.- -Tlieofficial count of this county was continued to-day. In the thirteenth ward tho original vote stood: Republicans 603 on the head of the ticket and 203 for Houdly. Three hundred tallies had been added to tho full Democratic ticket, with the exception at Horton for Suprenm judge, who had been given 200. This mode the total vote over 1,000, or about 300 more votes than are in tho precinct. The board decided to count the votes of the precinct as returned. This will elect about the en tire Democratic county ticket and Taylor (Republican) for the Legislature by fortv- tive votes. Myers and Young (Democrats), Representatives, will be defeated. Lateii. — Clerk Joyce (Democrat) an nounced thnt there appeared on the face of the returns from precinct A, thirteenth ward, a bold fraud, which had been eou- sumated since Saturday evening by some person who lmd secured tho tally steet and made the addition of 300 votes to tho amount of each Democratic candidate. He would neither sign tlie abstract nor issue certificates to any candidates unless those 300 were first deducted from tho totals on the Democratic ticket. Matt Martin, an other member of the board, spoke in a sim ilar strain. Justice Fritzey, the third mem ber, said they were then unanimous on that point. Tho 300 fraud ulent votes which bad been tallied up were deducted and tho returns read ns originally returned. This will give Taylor, Republican, about 60 plurality over Young, Democrat. Tho official footings have not been made, but will not vary much from these figures. The Republicans will have two of the three members of the Leg islature from this county. Clerk Joyce offered 8200 for the apprehension of the thief who stole and altered the tally sheet, aud the commissioners were requested by the meeting of citizens who witnessed the count to offer a reward of 850 for a similar purpose. Cincinnati, October 10.—The official couut of tho vote cast iu Hamilton county at last Thursday’s election was begun to day. The Republican aud Democratic rcandidates are represented by counsel. The returns from three precincts are missing, and a mandamus for their production was issued in each case. It may require two or three days to complete the work. The case of Col. Hudson, chief of police, charged with dereliction of duty in not ar resting men charged with violation of the c -gistry laws, was continued till next Mon thly, at tin* request of the State. The cases of others charged with violating the registry law were also continued to enable their at torneys to argtiu demurrers which art! based on tlu* miconstitutionality of tlu* law, tho point being that it applies oulv to Cincin nati and Cleveland. Cincinnati, October 19.—Julius Dexter, one tif the most active nu mbers of tlio citi zens’ t- jinmittee of one hundred, now en gaged in investigating tho alleged election iu this county was arrested to-day on the charge of perjury. Dexter was released on 81.0*8) bond. John Miner and Patrick Kelley, judges of election precinct F, iu ward 19, charged that Dexter made oath to a complaint before a justice that they, after the counting had been commenced in their preeinct,postponed it and then ivtiiov. d tlu* ballot box. They claim that Dexter com mitted perjury in swearing to this. Cisitnncti, October 19. — While the otfieial count of the votes cast last Tuesday was going on to-day, Dr. Thompson, of the tenth precinct, cairn* in with Charles Rogen, both judges of elections. They brought the missing tallv sheets wrapped up in paper, which they delivered to County Clerk Dal ton in that shape, instead of sealed, as the law requires. The count was adjourned after tour wards had been canvassed. The discrepancies between tlu* tally sheets und the official count were of little importance till preeint A of the fourth ward was reached. Tlie total number of votes announced as cast in this nrecinct was 91*», divided as follows: Houaly, 929; Fornker, 48; Leonard, 22. The county auditor, Cxppeller, objected that, according to the newspapers, there were but 7« 0 reg istered iu this precinct, and if this were true, over 200 fraudulent ballots had been cast. County Clerk Dalton said, he did not know whether the newspaper statement was correct. He lmd only to count the vote as returned, and the count was proceeded with. A DAY'S EVENTS IX ATLANTA Atlanta.

They are driving the mule out of th<* business entirely. Tin regular planta tion locomotive is a midget In side au ele vated railroad motor. Thus tin* elevated motors weigh from eighteen to twenty-two tons, while the midget weighs three, and it is used on rails that weigh t wive pounds to the yard. The cylinders arc only ten inches long, nnd the diameter is a trifle greater than the breadth ot my hand. Very frequent ly these lnoinunives ure run owr v. •■■»«L , n rails. There is a four-mile road ;;t Summer ville, S. ('., that uses timber four inches square instead of iron. People generally suppose that the old-fashioned iron strap laid mi a stringer went out of iashinti years ago, but a lumber road neurS.tvunn.-.h. s 1-2 miles long, has tho same old strap, aud it is a modern road, too. “In laying a wood railroad the tics are notched so that the rail sets down about two inches into the tie. The inner sid« of the notch is perpendicular, and tlu* outer edge slants away so that the notch is wider at the bottom tuan at tin- top. Then when the rail is laid wedges are driven in beside it and under the edge of tin* notch, thus keeping the rails from turn ing over or spreading. Htlgur maple with the heart up makes tlu* best rails. Sometimes two-inch strips of maple are laid on soft wood stringers. These roads arc used for getting out lumber and logs chiefly. Very little grading is done, (.’ribs of logs are laid up iusD-ad of trestles, aud the ordinary irregularities of common level lands are overcome by blocking tip the ends of ties with nil kinds of logs and stumps. Tho ground under these roads lie- conus soft mud wlu n it rains, and the wav these little locomotives snake a train through tlu* clearing with the luud slushing over everything is a caution. “As fast as the available timber is cut ot* one tract of land the road is shifted to a new one. The engine on the road at Sum merville runs from ten to twelve miles over its four mile rood every day, bums a cord and a half of wood in doing it, and hauls out 14.<Mhl feet of logs, from fifty-five tt> sixty toils. It took the place of twenty mules, and is said to pay for itself every' year. Some of the little engines burn less fuel than tlmt. There is a road three and a half miles long at Pensacola. Fla., on which, the engine bums only one-third of a cord its daily service of thirty miles. Tber i thi oa-!. These little engines are not confined to wood for fuel. As Hmiberincn. they bum wood because th» wowll e.^tM little ». u*wli- ing. As genuine plantation engines, used for transporting cotton or sugar or supplies across the country, the frequently burn re fuse dry-pressed sugar cane. Iu a different form, lint with the same diminutive cylin ders, they are used in coal mines for hauling cars, and burn either soft or hard coal or coke. In their smallest sizes they are only in feet long over all. For use in mines they are sometimes only I 1-2 feet high and 5 feet wide. A few bushels of coal und a few pails of water keep them running all day. One of these moles iu a. c<ml mine at Brookfield, Ohio, pulls twenty cars, weighing nearly three-quarters of a ton each, up a grade l.JC.O yards I014 „ that rises at the rate of 1(15 feet to the mile. Aud yet any good athletic school hoy could jump over the engine without drawing a secmul breath. Curiously enough these lit tle locomotives, that completely* iillthctuu- in Is through which they ruu, serve as ven tilators, forcing the air ahead of them uml drawing it iu after them, the same ns a pump plunger draws water into a pump und forces it out again. “In the mines, of course, iron or steel mils are used. Iron is really cheaper than wood in any locality. The wood rails need constant care. When it is wet tho locomotive cannot draw half a load, and in the North it is hard to keep clear of ice,” “What does it cost to buy* and run one of these midget locomotives?" “The first cost of the outfit depends al together on tlu- kind of a >.oud and the kind of service required. Tie re is one road down South where the engine cost $3,<MN1. Tho wooden road cost $459 a mile for the timber delivered along the lint*, To lay and grade it cost nearly us much more. The oil and repairs to tin- engine have cost 830 a year. The cost of cut ting the wood for fuel was $110 a year. The engineer got 8150 a year for running the machine, and tho hoy who worked the switches, eoiipled the cars and made himself geiierallv useful got $180.
