SCENES IN CHICAGO.


Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-0rderly conduct char
acterized the voting in Chicago to-day. The
arrests were very few. The only crime com
mitted so far was by Jack Yattaw, the motor
ious 'Black Jack" alias ''Bumboat jack"
appointed deputy United States marshal by
Marshal Jones against the protests Of tbs
reputable citizens of all parties,
who shot and killed an unknown man
at 7:20 .. IN. tonight at the corner of Har-
rison street and Third avenue Yattaw had
man under arrest and the crowd, mostly
curiosity seekers, were following. There
upon he drew his revolver and fred, VIM.
Kerns, of whom little is known, fell with the
bullet in his brain. His body was taken to
the morgue, and Yattaw was arrested.
An unusually heavy vote from all ac-
counts, has been polled throughout the city
and county. The voters did not come up to
the scratch in so brisk q fashion during the
afternoon as during the forenoon on the
South side. In some Of the precincts the
vote was very large, even as early as
O'Clock, for instance, in the whole Of the
Fourth ward and the Third too. In the First
precinct Of the First ward as many as 405
ballots had been cast out Of registered vote
of 577, while in the Second precinct but $50
out Of ZOE had been polled.
Many more cases Of drunkenness were
noticeable in the course Of the afternoon.
At the polling place, 40s Clark street, an old
negro walked up and deposited his ballot
while in so helpless state of intoxication
that he could hardly stand on his feet, and
had to be braced up on both sides. Talk
about the result of the election in Cook
county, was, Of course, plentiful, but cheap,
no one claiming 10 know anything posi-
lively.
'Said Mike Mcdonald: s'Of course the
Democrats have scored magnificent victory
in Cook, but how large the majority is
don't know. think, however, from what
have been told, that it will hardly be below
$4,000. The west side has done nobly, and
that much threatened Irish stampede in IA
vor Of Blaine hasn't PANIED out worth a
cent?
AS the day advanced the Democrats in the
Sixth ward became convinced that the vote
would be closer than anticipated, and as
darkness began TO gather renewed their
efforts for Lawler. Good judges say that the
fight between Finerty and Lawler is a close
one and that the majority will not &C 100
votes either way, but with probabilities in
favor of Lawler. Harrison is thought to be
600 ahead Of his opponent, and great many
votes ahead of his ticket. Mills, for
states attorney, has been numerically
slaughtered by the Germans and Bohemians.
The argument has been used against him
with telling effect that he was instrumental
in having Bob Haley, the slayer of Jos.
Whitney, discharged by the grand jury.
The Fifth ward is conceded to Finerty by
from 1000 to 1900 majority over LawleF.
Harrison leads his ticket, but will come out
with minority vote.
In the Seventh ward Harrison Is leading
with about 1000, with Lawler ahead Of Fin.
erty about 500. The Eighth is seat Of
bitter fight to prevent Lawler from securing
over 600 majority. Harrison is running
ahead Of his ticket. In the Third congress
sional district Mason's tickets were printed
with head in large type: For Congress
VIM. Z. Mason" and then his name APP
peared in the body of the ticket in small type.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons' friends at the close of the
polls, were demanding that these tickets be
thrown out. as they contained practically two
votes for Mason instead Of one, and they
have served notice upon the judges that these
votes be not counted. Very few votes were
cast in any of the north side wards and the
Prohibition vote will be very light.
