Mrs. Thomas A. Edison voted at the

Whether the great inventor kindly con-
scented to remain at home to make the

his better half was helping to save the
school district, or whether he was In
Inundated by Mrs. f.. and thus prevented
from exercising his civil right at the
polls, we have not been informed. All
we know Is that Mr.. Il. did not vote, and
that Mrs. Il. did. What could be more
significant?
We do not suppose that there Will be
any judicial investigation OF this
election mystery. but should Mr.. Edison
announce one of these fine days that he
had invented a voteoscope or balloto-
graph that would enable married
man, compelled by circumstances or a
family circle force bill to remain at

DANGER TO PASSENGERS.

Three accidents by collisions happened
to excursion boats yesterday. The most
serious was the case OF the Starin Glen
Island steamboat Glen, which was run
into by tug dashed to the side of a
heavy freight-car transfer barge about
O'Clock In the evening in midstream a
short distance below the Brooklyn
Bridge. There were about one hundred
passengers on the Glen, and n panic pre-
vailed among them. their position being
evidently one of extreme peril. The
damage to the Glen was great through
the force OF the collision. and she was
wholly disabled. The tug {. +. Ray
mond, which was fortunately on hand,
went Immediately TO the the rescue and
succeeded in taking the passengers Off
the injured boat without accident. The
collision is said to have occurred through
a Misunderstanding of signals.
The other mishaps were a collision
between the iron steamboats, Cetus
and Cenheus just OFF the lighthouse
at Norton's Point. The Cepheus was
disabled and her passengers were taken
off by the Cetus and landed at Culver's
Pier. Coney Island Point. Two passen-
gers were hurt In the crash.
The third accident happened to the
steamer Taurus. also of the Iron Steam
boat Company's line. which grounded
at Long Branch.
These occurrences are warnings that
ought not to be unheeded. There is
scarcely any excuse for such collisions,
and when they occur through careless
ness the responsible persons ought to
be made to pay the full penalty of the
