The Grand Jury this morning CON
'tlnued the investigation into the charges
OF illegal registration in the Third AS
sembly District. Two inspectors from
the Fourth and two from the Eighteenth
Election District were summoned to APP
pear. They were also ordered to bring

1t Is reported that the Grand Jury at

The case OF Walter Bahan, indepen-

RISE N "FLOATERS'" PRICES.
Opposition to Maynard Makes
Votes Cost Double.
Neat Scheme by Which Buyers
Make Sure of Their Bargain.

The strong demand for Maynard votes
has caused IL sudden rise in the price for
"hUaters." The quotation on floaters up
TO n few days ago was 81 apiece, the
supply being plentiful. To-day the mar
kct price for "hoaters' Is g. n scarce
at that.
TIE sudden rise in values In this pollt-
iCal commodity Is due to the continued
opposition to Maynard. The growing de-
lection In the ranks Of honest voters
has caused an increased demand for

THE UNKNOWN VICTIM.

According to the one Hundred and
Fourth street police, who had charge OF
| the case, a man named Patrick Fox, of
l692 Lexington avenue, saw the man fall
from the IL" structure. and, although
they have, no record of FoX's business
mans death was accidental and not
homicidal.
This in spite OF the disclosure OF the
Physician O'Hare that the man died
from a fracture of the base of the skull,
behind the left ear, and that in addition
] he had three stab wounds, one over
each temple and the third on the right
side of the neck; that the lower jaw was
fractured on both sides and the left arm
broken at the elbow.
DR.. O'Hare is confident that the mar
was not accidentally killed, and his
theory. is borne out by Investigations

workingman:: He was about 8 feet. 10 or
II inches tall, strongly built, had brown
hair, rather high forehead, high cheek

and chin whiskers, slightly tinged with
