A CITY OF MOURNING.
Sad Scenes Among the Living-The Army

Sad Scenes Among the Living-The Army
of the Dead.
HAMBURG, September 12.-Expections
as to the abatement of the plague have
not been realized in the few days. On
Saturday there were $40 fresh cases, or
81 more than ON Friday, and Psi deaths,
or II more than on Friday. Sunday
there was 79S fresh cases, or twelve
fewer than Saturday, and PSI deaths, or
"a more than Saturday. The number of
persons in cholera hospitals and barracks
on Saturday was 3, 124, and Sunday ,239.
A city physician says that the average
rate of mortality has been two cases in
every five.
The agitation in Berlin in favor of cur
failing the state rights of Hamburg has
given new motive for conceling the
truth, and many influential citizens have
secretly advised the authorities to
minimize in their report the ravages of
the plague in order that the imperial
government may have less, excess for in
terfering with the city's affairs. The
most conservative figures place the num-
Der of cases until today at $4,000, and
the number of deaths at 1000 The
number of burials was 457 on Saturday
and today has been 492, or so far in ex-
cess of the number of deaths that the
city's hospitals and houses are believed
to be practically free from dead bodies.

THEIR COURAGE GOOD.
Trying to Reorganize the Iron, Hall-a
Stormy Session.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 12.-Over
100 delegates attended the meeting called
by Justice Feibleman of local lodge of
the Order of the Iron Hall to recon-
struct that order, which met here this
morning. The delegates represented
over 40, 900 members of the order, and
the morning session was stormy and
acrimonious. The chair appointed a
con- itee on credentials composed of
nine members. In discussing the duties
of the commission some of the delegates
made wholesale charges against others.
I'll. L. Jones of Boston, who stated that
he represented 1900 members of the
order in Massachusetts,, charged that the
meeting had been packed with Somerby
delegates and that any action that would
conflict with Somerby's Baltimore meet
ing would be fought. He. named J. III.
Morgan, who has been identified with
many short term endowment orders, and
Augustin Bedford, both of Boston, as
Somerby's spies, and charged that Bed
ford was in Sonerby's employ. His
speech resulted in a number of others of
similar character.

THE WORK ON THE FITcHBURG.
Railroad Omcials Counting the Cost-In
jured Doing Well.

BosroN, September 12.-The Fitch
burg railroad officials decliLe to make
any estimate of the expense Of ;satur-
days accident, although one official
thinks it may amount ito 100000.
George A. Torey, general counsel for the
road, says that although most of the
railroads running out of Boston have
taken out insurance against accidents,
the Fitchburg has not taken out any and
that the losses for the present accident
will be settled by the company. He
thinks the damages will not be as large
as anticipated. The company has sur
plus and the payment of the losses will
not necessarily affect the payment of the
usual dividend on the preferred stock.
The victims of the accident are all
comfortable today and it is thought that
all will recover.

COUNTED OUT AS USUAL.
How Biddeford Democrats Violated the
Election Law
Especial to the PREss.l

lSpCCidi W tliO l. hEoS.J
BIDDEFoRD. Sept. 12.-Democratic vio-
lations of the ballot laws this year, as in
years before, changed what might have
been Republican victory today into
Democratic success. In Ward 6 the
Democratic election officers commenced
violating the law assisting persons to
vote who were perfectly able to read and
write, thus being lie to see how any
Democrats did all the buying they
wanted to, and although they had no
great amount of money to spend on this
election, they had no trouble in evading
the law in several wards in this manner.
sWe have been counted out as sure as
fate. We elected our two representa-
tives fair and square" That is what "a.
prominent Republican told the Press
representative tonight, and all the Re-
publicans say the same thing. In every
ward, except Ward l, where a Republl-
can warden was in charge, the Demo
cratic ward officers had every opportu-
nifty they wanted to manipulate the bal
lots as they wished. In all the other
wards the Democratic warden and ward
clerk drove every one else outside the
rail and counted up Lie ballots with
tables placed at the very back of the
rooms. Even the other election officers
were not allowed inside the rail. Abso-
lutely no representative of the Republi-
can party was allowed to see the ballots
or near enough to see whether they
were being changed or not. In Ward 2
while counting the votes the
Democratic warden and clerk not only
drove everyone outside. the rail, but out
of the room and locked the door, nor
would they open ituntil an hour after,
when City Marshall Tarbox himself
came and ordered them to. The Repubss
lican warden in Ward / invited a Demo
GRAFT to come in and see the ballots
counted which he did and
in Saco all the election
officers Republicans and Democrats alike
witnessed the count. AS the tally kept
at each ward showed that the two Re
publican candidates had a clear lead up
to o'clock the Republicans are co nfdent
that countout was effected.

THE MAP COLUMBUS USED.

1t Was Purely Theoretical and Placed
India where America Lies.
Maps based on ascertained facts are a
modern idea. Prior to the age Of the
discovery in which Columbus is the
most illustrious figure, known facts were
not thought absolutely needful in the
drawing Of maps. Maps were plenty;
facts for them were used as far as they
would go; after the facts were exhaust
ed, geographical theories answered as
we'll.
Thus Ptole1ny, in the map which
served Europe for dozen centuries,
sketched the lands about the Mediterra-
mean with at least recognizable degree
of correctness. But when he reached
the limits ofthe explored regions he did
not hesitate to finish his map; he simply
put beyond the known frontiers what he
thought ought to be there. He believed
that beyond the visited portions of the
earth were only vast deserts or impen-
ietrable swamps. He had no idea of
open oceans beyond the known lands.
Ptolemy, however, understood and rep
resented the sphericity of the earth.
What is still more curious, he estimated
the earth's circumference astonishingly
near the truth. He made it only $500
miles too little.
But after Ptolemy, about $50 A. D.,
geographer of the church arose whose
name was Cosmas. He scorned the
blasphemous idea that the earth was
round. He laid out the whole universe
in about the shape of a Saratoga trunk, =
to follow the figure Of Professor John
Fiske.
But discoveries had been pushing east
ward across Asia. Some monks sent
out as missionaries, in about 1850 A. D.,
learned from Chinese whom they fell in
with that on the eastern shore of China
was vast ocean.

PENNINGTON, September 12.-Returns
come in slowly from the county but it is
said the election passed off quite smooth
ly under the new ballot law and but few
ballots were lost. The Republicans claim
the election Of their ticket by about five
hundred majority, except sheriff, which
is elected senator. There are three Re-
publican representatives to the Legisla-
ture, and one Democrat from the King

YORK COUNTY WITH US.
The Majoyity There Compares Well With
the Last Presidential Year.

the Last Presidential Year.
SAco, September 12.-York County re-
turns received up to midnight show a
falling off from the figures of two years
ago. Nineteen out of twenty-seven
towns in the county give 800 Republican
majority on the vote for Governor. The
eight towns to hear from gave Republi-
can majorities two year ago aggregating
800 The county Twill probably give a
Republican majority of 1900, which is
about the same as that of 1888, but only
half the majority of 1890. The vote for
Republican sheriff is far below the head
of the ticket, but Sheriff Wentworth is
elected by about 700 majority. The Re-
publicans get all the county officers, the
Senators and eleven, perhaps twelve, out
of the fourteen Representatives. The
county will give majority in favor of
both constitutional amendments.
