against Waddey. The law provides that the polls
shall close at sunset. The facts as summed up by
while the sun was still to be seen in the heavens
and voters were knocking at the poll asking TO
vote the Judges OF election declared the polls
that the sun had set; but the majority OF Mr..
Waddey was seventy-two and the premature clos
ing OF the polls did not AFFECT the result OF tie

urged that as tue statute was directory and not
mandatory, and as no fraud was charged, Mr..
Waddey should not be unSeated unless the men,
bers were convinced that II the polls had been kept

changed. Judge stuart in reply contended that

pulsed hin and proceeded on her way. When on

her and snatched her satchel from her hand and
ran away. She thought the prisoner was the man
who approached her In both Instances, but could
not swear positively. The satchel and contents

the snatching occurred. Officer McLucas testified
TO making the arrest. while several young men tes-
tilted TO hearing the cry Of "stop thief" and Of

THE DEPTFORD CONTEST.
The Liberals and Tories Making q
Hard Fight for the Seat.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LoNroN, Feb. 2S-Au eyes at present are turned
TO Deptford, where an election occurs tomorrow.
Gladstone yesterday wrote a letter 70 Lady Anne
Blunt strongly advocating the election OF her
husband, who, he says, is suffering In prison
indignities In behalf OF the cause OF liberty and
peace. The tory papers are using every endeavor
to blacken the character OF Evelyn, whose retire.
ment on account OF q disagreement with his party
on coercion I'm Ireland led 70 the present election
Evelyn Is q descendent OF the famous dlartst OF
.he same name, resides I'm the old home OF that
author at Wootton, in surrey, and like his ances-
tors has business interests at Deptford, where
there are two streets called Evelyn and Wootton.
The Times has raked up the powers OF attorney,
dated fourteen years ago. signed by Evelyn, au-
thorizing an agent TO levy restraint for rent
one day after due. As Evelyn Is we'll
known to be a kindly and charitable man, the pub
lie were prepared for a statement made In his alb
sence to-day by his brother. 10 the effect that the
documents In question were merely formal aud
were signed In order TO settled a Ions standing
legal dispute. such are the eXpedenls by which
the tories seek TO the imminent rsL OF losing
o seat The issue is doubtful On the one hand
the liberals are at disadvantage in having their
canddate In prison. On the other Evelyns lnnu-
ence tells greatly in their favor and the tory
jority has never been very large there, DeptfOrd
being part OF the Old constituency OF Greenwich
which formerly elected Gladstone.

FARM NOTES.

If the brush, weeds and stubble
have not been cleaned out of the
fence corners, it should be done be-
fore spring. The fence corners, es-
pecialiy If the worm rail- fence is
used, will harbor all classes of weeds
and become fruitful sources whence
weeds are scattered over the farm.
Ten drops of the oil of turpentine
shaken up with tablespoonful OF
sweet milk will cure half dozen
chickens of the gapes, each getting
an equal share of it, or the same
quantity mixed with flour or meal
and a small bolus forced down the
throat of the chick will do the work
promptly. The dose should be re-
peated several times-say morn, noon
and night
