EW YORK.


NEW YORK, Nov. 9-At session of the
board of County Canvassers yesterday, several
protests were submitted against the counting
of the votes cast for Henry Smith, the Repub-
lican candidate for Supervisor, on the ground
that they were void because at the time of his
nomination he (Smtb) was a member of the
Metropolitan Police Commission. The protest
was sent to the Corporation Council for an
opinion thereon. 1t should be noted that two
Supervisors are elected annually, the person
receiving the second number of votes being
chosen as well as the highest man.

1t will be remembered by our readers that
some time last March one Charles Gilman, the
husband of Mary Gilman, took it into his head
to abandon Mary, his wife, and on the 18th OF
that month, after due application to the City
Clerk, to marry Catherine Bowles, also of this
city. His first wife, Mary, on learning of this
sad and wicked act on his part, applied to
Judge Kingsbury for relief. Thereupon his
Honor issued warrant against this naughty
follower of Brigham Young, setting forth the
charge Of bigamy, which was duly proved, and
the offender was placed under bonds for his
appearance at the Superior Court at the last
May term. He pleaded guilty to two wives.
though unable to support one, and was SEN
fenced by Judge Goddard to two years in the
State prison.
Application was then made by the second
wife to have the illegal marriage with her de-
clared void, and at the Supreme Court, these
facts being made to appear, a decree was made
annulling the second marriage The second
wife being the widow of soldier, who died in
the late war, was pensioner, and on her mar
rage with Gilman her pension ceased.

DISCOVERY OF A BROTHER. singular case
of the discovery of brother took place quite
recently, the discoverer being resident of our
city. In 1912 Mr.. Michael II. Reddy, the mer-
chant tailor on Federal street, was mere slip
of lad residing with his parents in Ireland,
and having two brothers older than himself
During that year the two Oldest brothers de-
ciied to come to this country. After remain
ing in New York some time one of them de-
cided to return to Ireland, but the other re-
manned. The one left behind was never heard
of from that time, and as years rolled by the
family gave him up for dead. In 1851 Mr.. Mi
chael Reddy came to this country and estab-
lshed himself in this country. Last summer
he was taking trip West, and while in Chi
cago ne was induced by a friend to run down
to st. Louis for few days While stopping
in the hotel in that city he one morning care
lessly took up Directory lying near at hand
and opened it. By accident his eye lit on a
name that was the same as the lost brother s.,
with the exception that the last name was
spelled Reardy instead of Reddy. On looking
at the back of the Directory he saw it was one
of Mobile, Alabama He jotted the address
down in his memorandum book, hardly
thinking there could be anything come of it,
and after reaching home, some time in Sep
TENDER, he wrote aletter to the address in Mo-
bile. and about a week ago received letter
from Mr.. Reardy, giving the names of their pa
rents, family and other particulars correctly.
He said that after leaving New York he kept
thinking he should pay visit to the cold folks
at home" every year, and so put off writing till
the war came, when he could not if he had ST.
desired. He expressed great pleasure at find
ing his brother, and we suppose that in the fu-
ture there is happy time in store for both
when they shall meet again. Twenty-sx
years have elapsed since nothing was heard of
the one that was lost. The reason that the
older brother spelled his name Reardy was be-
cause an uncle of his always spelled his SO, and
he when quite young took q fancy to adopt the
uncle's photography

1t seems that the ruse employed by your cor
respondent, to wit: an alluson to linen OF
means" or leisure, has served the purpose in
tended That is to identify "many ladies' as
of the male gender, perhaps a constitutional
grumber who to satisfy his propensity for
fault finding or avenge some imaginary slight
by a subordinate of the company, has seen fit
to array himself in petticoats to shirk RESPONSE

OF the Atlantic & Great Western, owing to the
failure of the Erie to comply with the terms OF
the lease. Heavy damages are involved. 1t is

Rev. Father De Rose of this city had gone ou

Muller was formerly resident of this city and
was attached to St. Dominic's Church on State
street. He has also, we believe, occupied the
position of Vicar General. Some year or two
ago it was thought that his presence in Bidde
ford would be of great Importance to the inter
ests of the Roinish Faith there, and he was ac
cordingly transferred to that city. Fathe
Muller was man of extremely affable man

here to lament his loss, not only in his own de
nomination but in general society.
