A Mammoth Turnip.
There is on exhibition at Dr. Osceola

which attracts general attention. This tur
nip was raised on the place of James B.
West, Esq., at Montgomery, and is one of a
large crop similiar in size and weight. It

raised in Chatham county. The turnip
measures 36 inches in circumference, and

the champion turnip of Chatham county.

After many days of cloudy, rainy, cold

12 o’clock, though his appearance did not
seem as if he could promise to stay any
length of time. At 12 o’clock the ther
mometer at the Signal Station indicated 48
degrees, showing a decided moderation
from the early part of the day. Advicbs

THE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1885.
YESTERDAY’S ELECTION.
The Count Not Yet Finished, But Enough
Known to Insure the Succtss of
the K< gular Ticket.
From the close of the report in yester- ; ‘
day’s Times, the voting was kept up very , '
quietly until the legal hour for the boxes to ! <
be closed arrived. Although Dr. Falligant’s '
friends did all they could to have him ■
elected an Alderman, the attempt even be
fore the polls were do ed was considered <
futile. Enough was known of the vote to ,
make all feel confident that the regular 1
ticket was elected. Dr. Falligant ran away
ahead of his ticket, showing that he is gain- ,
ing ground and making his chances better for
the future Although the day was very .
disagreeable, more interest than was sup- f
posed was manifested in the Election, and
nearly 1,400 of the 1,684 registered voters
cast a ballot for their favorite. Mayor
Lester had no opposition, except a few
tickets of a comical character cast by some ;
of the waggish young heads of
the city. There was much scratch- .
ing done, and when the count was ,
commenced after 7 o’clock last night, it '
it was found that the task would not be one 1
of a few hours. The count began in the Su
perior Court room. First the four boxes
were opened and the votes counted and put
into convenient shape for handling. The
split tickets w e re separated and put into
packages of twenty-five and the straights
were all placed to-gether: Box No. 1 con
tained 300 votes, against 398 registered ; box
No. 2, 256, against 305 ; box No. 3, 400,
against 467; box No. 4, 405, against 514.
The count was next taken
up by boxes. Box No. 1 w: s
first taken up and not until 11 o’clock was
it finished. Up to this time the crowd
present had remained patiently, but seeing
the tedium incident to the work and the fu
tility of expecting to know the result before
to-day they began to disperse, and by 12
o’clock only a very few were present. Box
No. 2, was counted, when the managers
again met in the grand jury room
for the purpose of finishing the
count. Box No. 3 was taken up
first, and then calling the split tickets, pro
c eded very slowly. The jury room was
crowded from the moment the doors were
opened until the count was finished. Every '
thing proceeded quietly and pile after pile
of straights and splits disappeared as the
count proceeded. One noticeable feature of
this election, is that no one so far can be
found who has wagered anything on the
result.
At 1:15 o’clock the count of the third
box was completed, showing that there was
no chance whatever for the District ticket.
Dr. L. A. Falligant, as will be seen by the
figures below, made the strongest run. A
reporter met him just as the result of the
third box was made known and found him
in very pleasant frame of mind, showing
beyond a doubt that he was not at all disap
pointed at the result, or downhearted as to
the future. “You see, we had not time to or
ganize in a strong body, but the result of this
contest will show the people what may be
done by concert of action, and it is highly
probable that a more successful issue will
attend our next attempt. It shows the oth
er party also that even though unorganiz d.
there is a power in the city which promises
to make itself felt in time.”
The result of the count so far plainly
indicates the election of the straight ticket,
hence speculation concerning this point has
now ceased and all attention is being con
centrated upon the chairmanship of the
Board. At first it was strongly suspected
that Mr. P. J. O’Connor would run a close
race, but the count shows that he has fallen
behind, |and it will be a hard matter
for him to close the gap now existing be
tween himself and Dr. Wm. Duncan and
Mr. Herman Myers. However, the
Fourth district box, containing
405 ballots. the largest number
cast in any box remains to be counted, and
it is a’well known fact that a large propor
tion of the residents of this district are sot s
of Erin. It was whispered that 169 “plump
ers” had been cast for him, and 49 for Dr
Duncan. Whether this be true can only be
learned on the count of the last box. As will
he seen the contest between Mr. Herman
Myers and Dr. William Duncan
is very close, the former having
received’ 843 votes and the latter
842, making only a difference, of one
vote in favor of Myers. The friends of
both parties are of course filled with a feeling
of good natured hope that each will be the
successful candidate, but both gentlemen
are so deservedly popular, and well qualified
for the position, that neither can fail to
please the populace in the discharge ot the
duties of that office.
The tally sheet keepers, Messrs. C. E.
Sanberg, A. J. J. Blois and J. J. Mor
rissey, have kept up their work in a very
correct manner, and the consolidated report
given below is authentic:
for mayor:

After a recess of about half an hour, the
Fourth district box was opened and the
count proceeded. The work has been re
tarded much more than was anticipated, on
account of the splits. It is not expected
that the fourth box will be finished be
fore 4:30 or 5 o’clock this evening.

MAJORITY REPORT.
The majority of the Committee on to
whom was referred the petition of the Chief
Fireman, recommending that stop-cocks be
required to every premises where gas is used
dissenting from the position taken by the
Chairman of the Committee, respectfully pre
sent their report. They consider it unneces
sary to compel gas companies to place step
cocks on service pipes at street curbs, and not
know any city where such a regulation is de
demanded. In Brooklyn, among other places,
the stop-cocks are placed as in Savannah on
the end of service pipes where connecting
with meters. This insures absolute safety
I from leaks into buildings when shut oil, as it
was found from non use and exposure to
weather that those at the street curb could
I not be relied on for this purpose. The cus
i tom now in vogue v ith modern gas builders
is to place good and efficient stop-cocks at me
ters where, being protected and regularly in
-1 speeded once a month, they known tube in
good condition. The non-placing of these stop
cocks does not, in our Judgment, affect in any
way Ihe tire risk of buildings. They know of
no instance where firemen were injured in
the discharge of their duty by the explosions
of gas The meters are near the door, and ac
cess thereto can be easily had to shut oil’ the
gas when desired They, therefore, respect
fully submit that there is no necessity for <he
passage of an ordinance requiring gas com-1
panics to place stop-cocks in front of every I
premises where gas is used. They further
submit that their impression is that there is
an ordinance of the city requiring said com
panies to send a person to every fire lor the
purpose of turning off the flow of gas from a
building. P. J. O’Connor, George N. Nichols,
Majority Committee on Gas. Received for
information.
MINORITY REPORT.
The undersigned. Chairman Committee on
Gas, to whom was referred the communica
tion of the Chief Fireman, recommending
that stop cocks be required to every premi-es
where gas is used beg leave to report as fol
low’s: That in his opinion the recommenda
tion is not only f. asible but necessary, and
should be favorably considered as a means of
safety in case of fire, not only to property but
to firemen who are very often, while in the
discharge of their duty, in danger from ex
plosions of gas. I respectfully urge upon
Council the passage of an ordinance requir
ing the gas companies to place stop cocks in
front of every premises where gas is used, and
that the gas companies be further required to
send Immediately on alarm of fire a compe
tent person whose duty it shall be on reach
ing said premises to turn off the flow of gas
from same. John Derst, Chairman Com
mittee on Gas. Received for information,
