WASHINGTON CITY, May 20.-The claim

which brought about the sudden termination

In MS decision the comptroller concludes as
follows: will add here, that if it came
within the jurisdiction of this office to dis
allow any of the items of this account l

execu ton of the election law is of paramount

seem an exorbitant expenditure for securing

to the city of New York The people should
be secured in the exercise of the elective

that privilege protected in order that each

said election, and that the effect of that vote
shall not be destroyed or neutralized by the
deposit and counting of a fraudulent OF

Torn by the Brake Beams.
He fell face upwards, and one brake beam
tore furrow through his nose and forehead.
Then another beam caught him and whirled
him over on his back Another beam slashed
his back and tore his clothes in shreds. His
shoulders were also bruised, and when found
he was fifty feet from where he fell. During
