Judge stump Orders an Investigation OF
Alleged Election Frauds In Talbot

Judge stump Orders an Investigation OF
Alleged Election Frauds in Talbot
County.
EAsroN, Nd, Nov. 20.-Judge Fred
erick Stump opened the November term
of the circuit court for Talbot county
to-day. George q. Moore was made
foreman of the grand jury. In his
charge Judge Stump told the grand jury
to investigate the alleged frauds at the
recent elections in Talbot county, as
charged by Isaac A. Barber, on behalf
of the Republican party, and others in
an application for writ Of injunction
against William j. Dukes, returned as
elected sheriff of Talbot county, and
which was denied. But as the paper
alleging frauds must remain among the
archieves of the court, the whole bench
thought the grand inquest should be
charged to investigate the allegations,
Judge Stump was very impressive in
his deliverance.
Mr.. Barber, 1t is said, will take an
appeal from the courts decision re,
fusing an injunction. Papers were filed
to-day by j. @. and g. Mullikin, A. l.
Tharp and William H. Adkins, attorney
for Clifton Hand, Republican candidate
for sheriff, contrasting the election d
William j. Dukes, who was returned
elected by 541 plurality, and asking the
seating Of Hand. II this application il
entertained a commissioner to take testi
mony will be appointed.

r,RIFF CHANG rs.

The New Law win Not Affect Internal
Revenue Rates, Beyond an Increase In
Whisky Tax.
WAsmSGToN, Nov. 20.--In the Tariff
bill which is to be ready for public in
spection November eth, no changes
will be made in the existing internal
revenue laws, unless some increase is
made in the whisky tax. The rate OF
increase has not been decided and de-
ponds somewhat on tho estimates of the
Treasury Department for the amount OF
revenue and the rate which is liked
upon finally for the income tax.
Several members of the ways and
means committee think that an increase
Of 10 cents gallon on whisky, which
will add $10,000,000 annually to the
revenues, will be sufficient. There are
others, however, who favor a much
higher rate and who say that the tax
ultimately may be placed not lower
than $1.20 gallon.
No change will be made on the tax
on beer, on manufactured tobacco or on
cigars. There has been disposition TO
| increase the cigar tax from So to 50
| per thousand, but the manufacturers
| have resisted it strenuously and the
committee believe that will not be
| necessary with the increase on whisky
and the revenue from the income tax.
There will probably be reduction in
the customs duty on Sumatra tobacco,
which is now 80 on unstemmed and
S2.75 on stemmed. The committee con-
slider this rate excessive and will proDa-
bly, reduce it from so cents to 81 per
| mound,

worlds Fair business from Newark.

SpecialC orrespondence OF Gazette and journal
NEWARK, Nov. 2l.--The other evening at
chance gathering of some gentlemen
here the subject of the large local patron
age of the Worlds Fair happened to, come
up and there were at once Il number OF
calculations as to the number OF people
who went to Chicago from Newark and
vicinity. The estimates then advanced
were necessarily only approximate and
ran from $50 to $50. Assuming the former
number some one took out pencil and
allowing an average total expenditure o.
$50 for each person, made total of 81, 500
taken from here on account OF thu
Fair. But this was probably j very
much below the actual amount
for inquiry at the several railroad sta
tons here makes it appear that at leas
200 tickets were sold here, although ever
this does not include all who left from
here. Computing $50 as the averaG'
amount spent on the trip by each yisito
to Chicago, quite a modest estimate, it ap
pears that about $4,000 was taken iron
this vicinity by the FAIRS patrons.
