Bullet. FIyfpg I'm the streets.

About $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Officer Doran, while patrolling Meadow
street. heard two sharp reports as from q
revolver. The reports seemed to come
from the neighborhood of Whiting street.
He quickly ran to that street and in front
of Hulps brewery found q crowd of men
carefully examining the street. After q
short search four cartridges of the size
known as "forty-fves" were discovered.
Two of these had been discharged by being
run over by heavy wagons aud 1t was this
which caused the reports heard by the
officer. The other two were intact. 1t is
supposed that some careless person threw
the cartridges into the street to get rid of
them.
A pedestrian who said his name was
Brown had an exceedingly narrow escape
when the cartridge exploded He was
walking by on the sidewalk when one of
the bullets whistled by his ear and only, as
it seemed to him, about two or three

A RECOUNT onDERED

BY the Court of the Eighth Ward |
vOte-The Result Is Two More Re- |
publicans Will Take Seats In the I'm.
coming Common Council.
The hearing on the petition as amended
for recount of the ballots cast In the
Eighth. ward at the recent city election was
heard by Judge Thayer yesterday. The
demurrer was denied without argument.
In the amended petition the petitioners as
serted that they could prove the allega-
lions contained therein. They asked that
full recount be made. The defense
argued that the declaration made on the
night of the primaries should stand, as 1t
was Official and complete. Captain B. e.
Brown was called in by the republicans
and stated that he thought that ninety-six
of the votes cast for Gallagher bore the
names of the republican councilmen, and
were omitted In the count for councilmen.
He tabulated the votes just a. they were
given him. He said that there was
great confusion in the room. James
Cosgrove and Wallace Bradley were called
/ by the defense. They were the counters
! Of the ballots and counted in the usual
| way. They believed the count to be all
right. They admitted that the room was
crowded, but did not think that there was
| an extra amount of confusion except suoh
| as usually accompanied occasions of this
| kind. Judge Thayer said that the boxes
| should only bs opened on the proof OF
| discrepancy or testimony which would
| warrant it. He thought that the plaintiffs
| had shown that there were grounds for q
recount. He accordingly ordered the bal,
lot box brought in. The town clerk was
| introduced and the ballot box was opened
by him. James Cosgrove, Attorney Gal
lsgher, a. B. Brown and Attorney Mat
thewson were appointed committee te
| count the ballots The recount showed
| that Anton Staub received 586 votes, ).
Franklin 556, G. Anderson 567, @. ]. Ra
banus 607. J. q. Parish 615 and 7. s.
Lila 564. This bore out the Claim of the
republicans, as the old count gave tbs
votes rs follows: Stsub 500, Auder
son $40, Franklin SAT, Rabanul
sec, Parish 533 and Lila 494. Tit
recount shows that Rsbanus, rep, Parish
rep and Stsub, dem, are elected. Th'
committee was instructed by Judge Thayel
to draft credentials declaring Messrs
Rabanus, Parish and Stanb elected and t.
present it to him to day for his signature

}. G. Cook & Sons, Stables ON Meadow
Street Damaged Last Night - The
Loss About $4,000 Supposed to
Have Been OF Incendiary origin.
The fremen were awakened about II 80 |
asst night by two strokes on the FIRE bells. |
These were meant to be an alarm from box
s31, but the box would not work. A
short time after, however, the FIRE bells
rang again, and the alarm came In all
right. The fire was in the livery and sale
stable of d. @. Cook & Sons, rear Of 129
Meadow street. When the department
finally got the alarm they responded in
very short order. Upon their arrival the
roof of the building seemed to be an I'M
mense sheet of flame. The department
was soon to work and, though everything
seemed to work against them, as some OF
the hydrants were found to be frozen.
streams were soon on the flames. The
building is of brick, and is in the rear of
several houses and close to some at the
southern corner. A stream was put on the
flames at this point In order to prevent
any spread of the fire. After working for
about three-quarters of an hour the flames
were brought under control.
How the fire started 1t was impossible to
learn, but ia thought to have been of In
cendiary origin. Three men, Frank Muir
ply, William Harrington and John Lowe,
were asleep In q room in the northern
corner of the building on the second floor.
Lowe awoke about Ills and found the
room full of smoke. He made his way
down stairs to ascertain from whence the
smoke came, az there was stove In the
Office Immediately underneath and another
in the harness room. Both of these he
found all right, bnt when he went up stairs
again the smoke was worse in the room.
He woke up his two companions who could
hardly move, being partially overcome with
smoke, but they finally got down stairs
They then sent in the alarm, after which
they removed as many of the hacks, car
risges, etc., as possible. The damage Is
estimated at about SIS 900.
There were thirty carriages and twenty.
five sleighs, which belonged to private
parties, in the loft, most of which were
| either totally destroyed or very badly dam
aged Mr. Cook estimates his personal LOST
| at about S., 900, with an insurance of about
| 81 600. The property belongs to the Her
| rick P. Frost heirs The loss to the vari
GUS individuals who had carriages, etc II
the stables will amount to about SIC. 900.
The fire started in the western corner o.
the building, considerable distance from
either of the stoves and in q place whert
there was no fire of any description eve
kept and which was used as store room
for private equipages and on the opposite
side of the building from which the he,
was stored.
| On the way to the fire the tire on tn
left hind wheel of engine No. parted q
the corner of George and Orange street
and wound around the brake, blocking tn
wheel. The engine was dragged the re

whether the collector received on that date
the sum expressed in the receipts viz:

collectors account has not yet been made
to ascertain whether the alteration was
made prior to or subsequent to the pay

the discrepancy may have been by reading
