rnosE MARKEp BALLOTS.

They Were Not Marked Alike Nor By a Printing Press.
 The Hartford Courant has printed what it alleges to be a fac-simile Of the marked ballots thrown out in Bridge port showing a speck after the letter ''v" in the word governor" City Clerk Mullins of Bridgeport, who was one of the counters who discovered the marked ballots, has been interviewed by the Farmer and he says:
 ''The ticket printed in the Courant is not fac-simile of the tickets in the bal lot box. The Courant ticket is entirely different from the tickets thrown out in the fifth ward.
 "The difference is just this. The bal lots thrown out were not marked alike, were not marked in one place, and were not marked with a printing press. ''The ballots thrown out were marked | in five or six different ways. Some were marked with a round mark like a period mark, only larger, between the i'v" and the ''e' in the word governor, and not connected with either letter. Some were marked with a small cross beneath tho word governor" Some were marked at the end of the word ''governor," with period at the head of the letter "r." Some were marked in the word ''lieutenant-governor, by hav- ing the lower part of the "n" completely filled by pencil marks. Some were | marked by small pencil marks on the lower side of the ticket.
 All of the tickets thrown out are plainly marked, and with lead pencil No one questioned that they were properly thrown out and plainly marked until Mir Marigold, the republican chair man, appeared and claimed that they were marked with printing prsss.
 "Mr Buckingham, the republican counter, admitted that the tickets were marked with lead pencil, and himself signed the packages containing. the marked tickets. When Mir Marigolc came, he went out in one of the booths and returned with two tickets in hi: hand and handed them to me, anc claimed these two tickets were like those thrown out, and that the marks were made by printing press. examined the tickets and told Mir Marigold that thought these were the same as those wt had thrown out, and thought they were lead pencil marks. MT Marigolc disagreed with me. I then asked MI Marigold this, that if could remove the marks with rubber would he admi they were lead pencil marks. He saio he would, but he didn't think could dt it. took the tickets from Mir Marigold borrowed a rubber and erased the twt marks on the two tickets as given me by Mir Marigold, in the presence of MT Mar igold and a number of others. 1 returned the tickets with the letters in ink jus as they were on all the tickets.
 "There were no straight republican tickets marked. There were 16 split re publican tickets marked and on
 straight democratic ticket, all throwI
 out"

While Warning Factions Quarrel the
 People Must Suffer.
 A Waterbury correspondent of the Connecticut Associated Press, apropos of the water question, says:
 s'The aldermen thought that the water commissioners knew best, and adopted their report. The councilmen laid the matter over and now repudiate Hop brook and vote 15 to 5 for Quassapaug. At first this caused sensation as 1t was popularly supposed that Quassapaug was too expensive and of too small capacity for city. New Haven engl- neers made surveys in 1870, to see If the lake could not be utilizud by that city, but finding that it had almost no water shed and loses much by evaporation, they gave it up. The councilmen, give as their reason, that a clique of property owners are making deal with the com- missioners in favor of Hop brook. And now comes the counter charge, that those 15 votes in the council are due to the shrewd activity of certain Water bury parties who have large mill in terests In Quassapaug. The cry of "put up iob' is heard on all sides, and the city must suffer until one side or the other can give its rival some credit for desiring the city interests above that of individuals It is an exceedingly lamentable state of affairs. and may yet demand a public investigation. The people think they. have suffered long enough"
 There is food for reflection in the above paragraph. It is certain that considerable outside influence is being brought to bear upon the commls- sioners and the members of the council in this matter. Under the circum- stances the best thing that can be done | is to call in an engineer from abroad to make an investigation independent of the water commissioners. We claim that the Mad river can furnish all the water the city or factories will ever re- quire, of quality far better than that of Hop brook. The people of Water 1 bury will never vote to issue $400,OOO worth of bonds to secure water from either Quassapaug or Hop brook. It would be far cheaper to continue to pump from Mad river at cost of $26 a day, amounting in year to $S, ,025. The interest on the bonds it is proposed to issue, at 44 per cent, would amount to $1S,000 year

THE sPANIsH .swINDLE AGAIN
Not in Connections this Time But in ," Jersey. 9 .'

Not in Connecticut this Time But in
 Jersey. 9t .'
 The notorious Spanish swindle which has been attempted on Mayor Baldwin and several other Connecticut people and which has been fully exposed bobs up again, this time in New Jersey.
 Samuel Dickenson, a well-known druggist in Trenton, recently received a letter from "the parish priest" of Sogo- via, Spain. The writer informed MT Dickenson that he had been appointed the guardian of a beautiful Spanish senorita and also executor of the estate of Don Francisco Domingo Duyroga, captain of the Spanish ship Elizao. It was stated that the estate was valued at 13,000, ,000 pisadors, and that the parish priest promised that when the captain was dying in Spanish prison to com municate with Druggist Dickenson.
 Druggist DIckenson read the letter with surprise, and when he came to a part which stated that it would be neces- sary for him to send 2,500 to settle a claim against the estate, he became sus- picious, and he now thinks an attempt is being made to swindle him. He pro- poses to place the mates in the hands of Minister Grubb at Spain.

sUNoL's WONDERFUL FEAT.
A Quarter-mile in Thirty-one and a
Fifth Seconds.

Robert Bonner and party OF New Workers
were treated TO a genuine surprise at Terre
Haute yesterday, Mr. Bonner went 10 see his
great four-year-old lilly, sunOl, now in Charles
Aarvin's hands for training. The party was
up with the sun, and before O'Clock were az
the track, where Sunol was led around in the
paddock for inspection. Marvin gave the filly
an easy mile about 3 o'clock and an hour later
brought her out again. She was logged the
reverse way OF the track, taken back of the
half-milo post and headed for home. The first
quarter WAS an easy one, but at the three
quarter pole Marvin gave Sunol her head She
came smooth, close down TO the ground like Q
greyhound and with such a frictionless gait
that few supposed that 1t would be a very fast
quarter. Faster and faster she came around
the turn and IN a breath almost she had done
the quarter In 81 l-5 seconds, or at the rate OF
2.O4 AS for the mile. Nine watches caught the
time and all agreed precisely. There Was sup
pressed excitement IN the small group of spec
tators, but there was CLEAN of Joy in Mr..
Bonners face that could not be well hidden
Mr.. c. J. Hamlin broke the silence by ex-
claiming: lit was worth lifetime to see that
done"
The track was soft with exercise work and
the harrow and in no condition for fast trials
All the horsemen claim that the last quarter of
the track Is at least q second slower than the
third quarter. which has a slig lat descent and
that had the track been prepared for fast work
sunol could have stepped the third quarter
easily in 80 seconds.
Mr.. Hamlin is trying to persuade Marvin TO
consent TO a match between Belle Hamlin and
Sunol TO be trotted at Buffalo this fall but 10
Is doubtful II the Pslo Alto trainer will do IL
Mr. Hamllns offer was a tempting one.

From the Philadelphia Press
The general officers of the knights of Labor
from this time on purpose making bitter war
fare against the officers of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, which is its leading rival.
General Master Workman Powderly gave pub
lie notice of the fact last night in the follow
ing open letter:
NEW YORK, June ls 1890
MIR. Samuel Gompers, President American
Federation OF Labor, New York city,
DEAR SIR:-lt is the intention of the general
ofhcers OF the Knights of Labor to review and
reply to the numerous charges and accusations
which have been made and circulated by the
officers of the American Federation of Labor
against the order of the knights of Labor A
meeting will be held Friday, June 20 at
Cooper Institute. That you may not have to
depend on hearsay or garbled reports of the
meeting deem 1t but an act of courtesy to
you to invite you to be present and occupy q
seat on the platform on that occasion 1t will
afford me much pleasure TO share the platform
with you should you desire to reply to any,
thing to which you may take exception during
the deliberations. have the honor to be very
truly, yours, I. V. PowDERLY,
General Master Workman.
Mr.. Powderly and General Secretary John
W. Hayes Of the knights of Labor were in New
York last night making the arrangements for
the Cooper Union meeting. A leading repre-
sentative OF the order was seen, however, and
he had this to say about Mr.. Powderly's letter:
Mr.. Powderly's letter means that from this
moment it is 10 be battle royal between the
general officers of the knights of Labor and
the officers of the American Federation of
Trades. For months President Gompers, p. l..
Mcguire and other leaders Of the federation
have been going among the people misrepre-
senting our order and stabbing us in the back
They have assalled us on our position on the
eight-hour law, and have charged us with bad
faith. and, while making these accusations.
have come to US and asked for assistance in
their various fights. We have borne patiently
with their professions Of friendship and secret
Standings, but patience has ceased to be q vir-
tue and we propose now to strike back Our
general officers have all the data they require
to convict the officers of the federation of play
ing double with u.s."

THE VESUVIUS AGROUND.
After Good Deal of Tugging All Day
She is Got Oh Again.

The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, fifteen min.
utes after casting loose from her moorings
yesterday morning at League Island, grounded
on the spit of land that makes out at the point
where the Schuylkill empties into the Della
ware, just west of the navy yard Several days
ago the cruiser was formally placed in commits
sion, and has since been stationed at League
Island, taking in stores. Lieut.. Seaton
Schroeder was placed in command, and upon
receipt of orders to proceed with his vessel to
Brooklyn, fires were started, and shortly before
O'Clock she cut away from the wharf She
had hardly got moving with anything like
speed when her forefoot ran up on the spit,
and in spite of all the power OF her reversed
engines she remained fast.
1t being near high water, tugs were called
for assistance, but they we're unable TO move
her, even upon the top of the food tide. The
efforts were finally abandoned, as the tide COM
menced to fall, but were renewed in the after
noon, and at 2:30 o'clock the combined work OF
her own engines and two powerful tugs pulled
her back into deep water. She was at once
headed down the stream, at first very slowly
This, it was surmised, was for the purpose Of
ascertaining if any damage had resulted, but in
a short time full speed was rung up, and. as an
officer expressed it, ''she started for the Break
water, running like a scared dog"
Just what caused the cruiser to go ashore
no one was able to say, neither was il known IL
there was pilot aboard 1t is impossible to
ascertain il the boat was injured. but it is
scarcely probable that she got of without some
damage, as the place where she grounded is
very hard bottom, and at low water she was
almost high and dry.

TURNING ON THE LIGHT.
Some Queer Things seen on Shore When
the Manchester Flashes by.

Capt Tom Ross, frst officer Of the ste amer
Charles Manchester, 10 the proudest man on
any OF the Potomac steamboats,. When the
steamer is 81 the wharf he never fails 10 stand
on and admire 1t and never does he miss an
opportunity TO tell of the steamers good quail
ties and how fast she can run through the
water
There's one thing am sure Of" he said to
. STAR reporter a. the boat was about TO pull
out from the wharf for Marshall Hall, and
that is that she can beat any boat on the river.
l am not talking about the Arrowsmith. how
ever. because we have not had an opportunity
to test our speed with that boat IL we succeed
In beating the Arrowsmith We will claim the
championship of the world for the make Of the
steamer. The Arrowsmith has heretofore held
the championship, but hope soon TO rob her
OF her glory"
Speaking Of the speed OF boats Capt. Ross
SAID tnat the Manchester can make something
Ike nineteen miles an hour, and he said so as
though he thought the capital should be
proud OF having the two fastest side wheel
boats IN the country. As pilot of the boat
capt Ross wields the search light on the trips
up and down the river and incurs the enmiTy
OF many love-making couples. This light,
Wnlch is the only one on the Potomac. is many
times stronger than the head light OF a loco
motive and Is on the boat for the use Of the
Piio', WHO ngnts his path and renders such a
thing as collision impossible.
Inc night Is not always required for that
purpose ana by throwing IL across the country

clearly as though it were midday. IL the

season many of the country lads and lassies

counting in the parlor
One night when the steamer had reached
the arsenal grounds, said Capt Ross, Il
threw the light across the grounds to give the
ioiks view OF the mansions, the green
lawns and the soldiers on guard.
Inc passengers, however. were treated 10 some
thing more than the natural scenery. On one
oil tie VIDE porches in front of a mansion was
an officer. know he WAS an officer for he
wore the stripes and had sword hanging at
MS side. Beside him was a maid attred in
white 1t was near the hour of midnight and
the farewell WAS about to be given, but the ro-
nance was all taken out of the scene when the
hgnt WAS turned on them.
lhe eXcurslonists we're all watching the
light, and. of course, they all saw the picture
thus presented. The small boy on the boat
was not asleep. but was. as usual. equal to the
occasion. and he shouted at the top of his
voice, Break away His words Of warning
were not necessary"
