DID THE WOMEN CHEATf
1t Is Said That Hundreds of Them Voted
 for Mayor of Boston.

1t Is Said That Hundreds of Them Voted
 fo~ Mayor of Boston.
 BosToN, Dec. 19-The illegal voting of women in the recent exciting city election was discovered yesterday. It came out dur ing the aldermanic recount of the votes in a number of wards. The very first precinct recounted, No. 1, in Ward 8, showed 95 votes in excess of the registry, and there is no doubt that all, or nearly all, of this excess was due to the votes cast illegally for mayer by the women. Hart carried the ward by TOO votes. Numerous other precincts show ing smaller excess over the check list were found, and the recount is not yet completed.
 This illegal voting is undoubtedly due to the fact that the women voted tho straight city ticket, including the school committee, instead of voting simply for the school com mittes, as required by the statutes. The question is, how did the women come into possession of the straight tickets and was the voting in all cases done unconsciously? It was a very simple matter to make the mis- take, as the school committee ballots are of the same size as the others and the same bal lot boxes received both tickets. It is said that certain politicians of both parties can explain how some of these ballots came to be deposited The total number of votes cast for mayor by the women is estinated at 400, both candidates sharing them. The board of aldermen, however, will not throw them out in the absence of absolute proof of illegality.

 Food for Lively Gossip.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-John W. Masury, B years old, who is the wealthy head of the paint manufacturing firm of J. W. P. Masury 6 Sons, left his apartments at the Windsor hotel on Sunday with man ser want and a valise. He said he was going south on business and pleasure. His son-in- law, William B. Oliver, bade him good-sy at the hotel
 On Monday morning paper published marriage notice announcing that John W. Masury, of Brookhaven, L. l., had been mar ried in Brooklyn to Mary O'Kennes, of that city. The notice was complete surprise to Broker Oliver and to MT. Masury's many friends
 It was found that the notice had been sent from the Fifth Avenue hotel and was signed "John W. Masury." MT. Oliver saw it, but says he does not know whether the sigma ture is his father-in-law's or not The name Okennes is not in the Brooklyn directory.
 Nobody could be found at Mr. Masurys Nassau street office who knew anything about the marriage notice.
 Mir. Oliver does not know whether or not to believe that his father-in-law has got mar ried. He says that Mr. Masury is perfectly able to manage his own affairs, and that if he has married he has done it without con- sulting his relatives
