next forenoon they met at 10 o'clock, at sponge
warehouse in different precinct, and there from
10 until 2 o'clock, continued to canvass and at
last certified the vote. No possible honest reason
existed for this violation of the law. On the con-
trary there had been evidence of fraudulent pur-
poses during the election which this violation of
law was intended to cover up. In this state OF the
facts the Republican members of the board. Messrs
McLin and Oswgill, submitted the question to At

would be guided by his opinion, and would vote
exactly as he did, The AttOrney-General decided MS
he had in the Hamlton-Bunty case that the action
of the election officers was illegal and irregular az
to create presumption of fraud and to vtiate the
whole poll. and thereupon tho board unanimously
decides to reject this precinct with tits Democratic
majority of 342.
After passing upon all the counties the board
passed resolution that they had finished the can

The number of dead by the Brooklyn disas-

The precise total will probably never be
known, owing TO the fact that the dsmem-
bered limbs of mapy were scattered in the
process of digging in the ruins. The number
identified and removed up to last evening was
ITS. The lists which are published below
show total of $40 identified and missing,
but it is impossible to avoid duplication in
many instances, and this will account for
the unnatural excess. Many bodies will
have TO be buried at once, without fur
ther attempts at Identification, as putre-

jury was yesterday impaneed and COM
