nq,omas II. Robertson. Republican, In
the Tw~enty-seventh District, after a
very close contest, by an apparent plu-
rslity Of about GOO votes, with W cleo
lion districts to hear from.
The fight in the Twenty-frst District
was a three-cornered one, and very
close between Moses Herman. Tam.
many's man, n Otto Irving Wise, Re-
publican. James Brooke Leavitt was
run as an Independent by the Good Gov
eminent Club, but was not in it.
A report vas current this afternoon
that Police Justice Paddy" Divvers's
district, the banner Second, had voted
l.S0o more men han were registered.
A comparison of the vote and registra-
ton prove the report untrue, but 1t
shows that Judge Diver didn't let
many of his followers neglect their duty.
The registration was 1898 and the
vote almost up to those'igures.
Mr.. Croker had predicted a plurality
of about 10000 in this city for Maynard,
and from advice3 received from Kings
County he was led to expect that the plu-
rality for that gentleman in the two
counties would be very close to 10000
But Kings County also scratched the
election-returns 1uggler. and instead Of
giving him a plurality piled up one of al
most 10000 for his opponent-more than
half that given to Maynard in New York
County.
The following tables show the vote by
Assembly Districts cast IN this city for
Secretary of State and for Judgeship of
the Court OF Appeals.

Wheeler II. Peckham, Chairman OF
the Committee OF Fifty, appointed at the
Cooper Union anti-Maynard meeting.
was in a happy frame of mind this
morning. Regarding the prosecution Of
illegal voters, he said he did not see
how the Committee could do anything.
He did not know what evidence it had.
The Committee had achieved the OBJ
jects for which 1t was appointed, and
was now practically out of existence.
1t was possible hat some individual
members might see fit to cause some
arrests. but he did not think the Com
mittee itself would do SO.
Mr.. Peckham felt jubilant over the
defeat of Maynard. but he declined to
express himself further than hat II
was More han satisfactory"
He had many callers, who extended
their congratulations on the work the
Committee had performed.

so greatly was the public mind fixed
on voting for Mckinley. He carried
this county, Franklin. which always
was Democratic, and also Mr.. Outh-

Cleveland carried it last year by LOO.

sTECKLER WINS A DINNER.
Proved a Good Guesssr and Ex-
Senator Plat Will Buy 1t.

Ex-senator Thomas c. Plat will have
to buy Charles Steckler a dinner az a
result of the election. Mr.. Steckler and
Senator Plat were talking about proba-
Bile majorities before the election.
II don't think Maynard's plurality will
be more that 5000 or 10000" said Mr..
Steckler, M l predict also that the
Seventh District will go for Bartlett"
IF YOU prove to be a good guesser I'll
buy you "a dinner" answered the eX-
Senator.
Mr.. Steckler's guess showed him to be
a very close and shrewd observer for a
man who says he is no longer in poll
tics.
The Stecklers played a very shrewd
game of politics In his campaign. They
didn't make any noise, but they made
their influence felt in the right direc-
ton, as the vote for Bartlett in the
Seventh District shows.

When Miriam Gray reached her room

flung herself upon the bed and cried as
II her heart were broken.

Three years later again found Miriam
Gray at the seashore. She had not met
Brice Ventnor during that interval. nor
had she heard from him.
She was as handsome as ever and moro
royal in her manners but her face and
conversation lacked brilliancy. She was
more quiet and reserved. more chary in
her friendships. ready to suspect and
heartily tired of the hollowness Of fash
ionable life.
! Her love affair with Brice Nentnor
had caused the change. In Furnishing him
for his perfidy to her cousin Blanche she
had sacrificed herself. She could never
love another man as she had loved him.
AS she was one day walking on the
beach with her cousin Blanche they sud
denly came upon Brice Ventnor. He was
alone and stood still for a minute, the meet
ing was 80 unexpected to him. The board
