PROVIDENCE, May The fourth at

semblymen from the city ~ Providence
took place yesterday, and two OF the lot,
Ray G. Burlingame and John T.. Potter,
both Democrats, were elected. Another
attempt to elect the other seven will be
made within ten days All OF the Demo
Gratis had plnralities, but the scattering
votes cast for the candidates OF the Pro
bibitory and Peoples parties defeated
their election. Each trial costs the city
about 5000. and, under the law, there must
be continuous attempts until all have n
majority. The people are very tired OF the
fiasco. and therc is loud demand for
plurality elections. This. however. would

TOM PlATT'S OPINION.
He Denies Statements Made Concerning
New York's Delegates

New York's Delegates
New York, May j. Thomas c. Platt
says there Is not a word Of truth in the
statements published by Elliot f. Shep-
ard, tn the effect that twenty-six out Of
the New York delegates to Minneapolis
had been instructed TO vote for Harrison,
and that more than 500 delegates had been
instructed for the president. Platt fur
ther states that both statements are alb
surd, and evidently emanated from lit
erary bureau in Washington that was en-
gagged in booming the president for a re-
nomination. Not one delegate from the
state of New York has been instructed" :"
said Mr.. Piatt, ''and any statement to the
contrary Is without foundation"
In reply to question as to whether any
Of the delegates would vote for Harrison,
Mr.. Platt, after some reflection, replied
with smile: Colonel Elliott L. Shepard
is delegate, believe" Mr.. Platt fur
ther said that Colonel Shepard's paper
was not authorized to speak for the Re
publican party of the state nor for the
New York delegation to Minneapolis. He
would not discuss Harrison's chances.

THE THEORY FAILED.
Removal OF the Heart and Liver OF Hi
Dead sister Did Not Cure Him.

Removal of the Heart and Liver OF His
Dead sister Did Not Cure Him.
Edwin A. Brown Of Exeter died Of
consumption on Tuesdsy. This 10 tho
young man for the preservation OF whose
life the body OF a dead sister was ex-
humed In Shrub Hill Cemetery some two
months ago, and the heart and liver
burned.
The act was based on theibelef that an
evil spirit had retained it's life within
those organs by sspping the life from the
sick brother.
notwithstanding the fact that the rites
Of tne Obil gods have not proved enIica-
cious, there Isre those whose belief In the
superstition is mistaken, claiming that
young Brown was past recovery before
the organs in which the evil spirit dwelt
we're consumed, and those incredulous
ones still assert that the destruction Of the
fiend will prevent the remainder OF the
family contracting consumption in any
form, citing two instances similar to the
Brown case in support Of their assertions.
