A NEW SUGGESTION.
MIR. Brands Plan for Settling the Dispute
Between Himself and Mr.. Leman.

MIR. Brands Plan for Settling the Dispute
Between Himself and Mr.. Leman.
CHICAGO, Dec. IAN open letter will be pub
lished here tomorrow from Rudolph Brand,
Democratic candidate for State Senator from
the Sixth district, to Henry w. Leman, his Re-
publican opponent. Mr. Brand says that while
reason to believe he would do the same In the
second precinct Of the Eighteenth ward where
it is alleged fraud was committed which added
200 votes to Brands count yet if Leman's claim
to this effect was true it would show that he
(Brand) ran behind his ticket in the precinct.
Still, from the fact that the ballots il tns box
indicate that Leman's father-in-law, brother-in
law and other intimate friends voted for Brand.
He (Brand) is inclined to the opinion that these
ballots are fraudulent He, therefore, proposes
to Leman that they jointly canvass the votes in
the entire district and if it is found that ballots
of similar character have been deposited in
other precincts, the matter can be settled by the
testimony of voters throughout the district, on
the question for whom they voted.
A telegram from Springfield says: 1.-THE State
canvassing board completed its work to-day,
and decided the contest in the Thirteenth egis-
latlve district in favor Of Muhlheron, and
against Kluph. This will make the Legislature
tic on joint ballot in case Mr. Leman, Repub-
lican, in the Sixth district, is seated, and will
give the Democrats q majority of two
in case Mr.. Brand. Democrat, of the
same district, is given the seat Kluph
claims that 90 votes for him in the Nine
teenth precinct of the Fourteenth ward were
counted for his opponent, and says he will pre-
sent the case to the United States grand jury or
will contest before the Senate The facts, as
shown before both the county and State can
wasting boards, were that by a clerical error
Kluph was originally given ninety votes too
Ac hOth Mu1haTcO are DAmO-
Gratis, the complexion of the Legislature will not
be changed III either case
Governor Hamilton will announce his decis-
ion in the Brand-Leman case tomorrow"

MARRIED TO A SCHOOL BOY.
An Elderly Widow and School Ma'am WEEDS
One of Her Pupils.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Dec. There is much
comment in society circles in this city over the
hasty marriage of the widow of exMayor East
man, during his life president and proprietor of
the Eastman Business College. to a young man
scarcely out of his teens Mr.. Eastman origi-
mated the Eastman Business College, which grew
to such proportions that at one time over ], 800
scholars were being taught at the institution
He was elected mayor of the city, position
which he occupied six years, up to the time of
his death. The entire property passed into
the hands of the widow at her husbands
death in 1873, and Professor E. White
was made president, also succeeding Mr.. East
man as mayor, which position he still holds.
Professor White is a brother-in-law to Mrs
Eastman, and one result of the wedding with
the young graduate is the resignation of the
president, and the withdrawal from the college of
the majority of the faculty, with the expressed
intention Of instituting an opposition school at
once.
The marriage surprise to everybody,
including Mr. and Mrs White, who were invited
to witness the ceremony few hours before it
took place in the Eastman mansion. @. G.
Gaines, the bridegroom, is not yet twenty-four
years of age, while the bride is fiftytwo He
came from near Danvile, Va, and was pos
sessed of only enough funds to pay his tuition
fee He was Mrs Eastmans favorite scholar
and was given room in her residence as his
abiding place whilo attending the college After
he was graduated, short time ago, Gaines was
appointed an assistant teacher and still lived
with Mrs. Eastman
SO quiet were the arrangements for the mar
rage kept that Mrs Eastman's daughter, Mrs.
Timothy Woodruff, who resides in Brooklyn,
was not aware of it until after the nuptials had
been celebrated. Mrs, Woodruff is three years
the senior of her stepfather.
Prof. Henry Coleman president of the New
ark Coleman Business College, was principal of
the Eastman College for seventeen years. leay
ing there in 1881, taking Assistant Secretary q.
W. Palms with him, and starting the college in
that city. Mrs. Eastman, or Mrs Gaines, re-
sides in an elegant mansion and is reputed to be
wealthy.

A Farmers Brutality Terminates in the Death
of a Beautiful Girl of Nineteen Years.

WooNsocKET, r. L, Dec. 1.-Since Lottie

Miss Priscilla Partridge, walking his horses all
the way because she could not bear the slightest
Jolt The next day she taken violently i'll,
and after three weeks of intense suffering she

held and charges preferred against Coombs with
the selectmen. Popular feeling runs high over
the crime.

A Singular Discovery Which Relieves MAJ
of Unjust Suspicious,
Special to the indianapolis Journal
ANGOLA Dec. lon Saturday, while A.
Sewell, of Hamilton. Steuben county, was max.
ing some repairs in his Touring mill, an old
oyster can was discovered in an out-of- the-way
place, which he threw out doors. Soon after
ward little neighbor boy passing along saw
first ten then a twenty-dollar gold piece and
near by the oyster can, which, upon examine
ton, was found to contain enough more gold to
make $3.50, and enough greenbaeks Of 1862 and
1868 dates to aggregate $72l The money is
supposed to have been secreted by a former
owner of the mill, Cotton by name, who hanged
himself there about eighteen years ago.
When Cotton was found hanging in the mill,
his friends, on account of about thousand dol
lars being gone that he was known to have had,
claimed that he had been foully dealt with, and
a man by the name of Farnum was suspected and
even accused of having murdered him. Mr.. Far
mum always felt Inundated because of the sus'
picion and to-day reioices in that the discovery
of this money, which very evidently belonged
to Cotton, removes all cause of suspicion This
question now arises who will get the money
hnallyl Attorneys here say that it may go to
the Cotton heirs; that evidence can be found to
show that Cotton was known to have such
money only a few hours before his death The
evidence seems rather slender However, there
will likely be a contest In the matter.

The Developments Yesterday.

CHICAGO Dec. 1.-The United States grand
jury to-day continued its investigation into the
alleged frauds in the Second precinct of the
Eighteenth ward, in which the allegations are
that the tally-sheet was changed after the day
of election taking 200 votes from Leman, Repub-
lcan candidate for State Senator, and giving the
same number to his opponent, Brand, Democrat,
thereby giving Brand majority of ten in the
district (the SIXTH, which would make the State
Legislature Democratic by majority of two on
joint ballot instead of tie, as would be the
if Leman were elected, and thus enable the
Democrats to choose United States Senator to
succeed Gen. Logan. 1t is also charged that, in
order to coyor up this fraud, the sealed
ballots were taken out of the coun-
ty clerks Office that over two hundred
Republican ballots, with Lemans name on them,
were distracted and an equal number of ballots
substituted which contained all the Republican
names except Lelnans, for which that of Brand
was substituted, and that these ballots were
printed on the night of Nov 81, or seventeen
days after the election. According to published
statemants by papers here, both Democratic and
Republican, when the ballots were ex-
last week, they revealed the apparent absurdity
that most of Leman's friends, including his
father-inlaw and brother in-law, voted for Brand,
and the same papers assert that those relatives
jury, swore that then voted for Leman, and that
if the ballots showed otherwise they were not
the ballots cast by them.
Concerning to-days proceedings of the grand
jury, the Times Democratic, will to morrow
publish what purports to be an abstract of testi-
mony given before the grand jury, the more i'm
portant features of which are herewith given in
substance: Byron Fish, discharged foreman
for 2. l.. Hanscom & Co., testified that he
asked j. c. Hess foreman of the press
room of the same establishment, about
printing the bogus Republican tickets, and that
Hess replied that ten Republican tickets with
Brands name on them were wanted to put in
the ballOt-box to elect Brand
D. 5. Thompson, an employee of Hanscom 81
Co., said that on the afternoon of Nov 81, at the
request of s. b. Wright, member of the firm,
he had an engraver make fac smile of the en-
graved head of the Republican ticket, which was
delivered to Wright about o'clock in the eve
ming than he believed Mackin gave the order, as
he (Mackin) was present when Wright asked the
witness to have the work done.
S. Falls, of Baker & Co., engravers, testified
as to the execution of the order which was
wanted in hurry.
j. G. Hess, pressman for Hanscom & Co..
said the press work was done by one of the boys
who ran the presses, and denied Fish's state
ment that he lHess) said ten tickets were wanted
to elect Brand.
