A dispatch from DR.. Cornerchan
health officer at the quarantine, sets al
rest all doubts in regard. to the arrival OF
the Russian fleet. He says that one
Of the Russian vessels had arrived al

main there during the night. There

been guilty of frauds. The election
returns from the Seventh ward, which
were stolen two days ago, were found
under a desk in a private office con-

by the thief. A special committee is
busy investigating the frauds, and affi-
davits are pouring in upon them.

ters and ninety sacks of newspapers,
the value OF the postage being about
$4,000.
