Great Interest Taken by Citizens in
the Election Returns.
THE STARS SPLENDID SERVICE
Biggest Crowds Ever Known on a
Similar Occasion.
SOME OF THE INCIDENT S

Rarely has there been such interest shown
in this city in any election as was evident
on all sides last night. From early in the
evening until long after midnight there was
a mammoth crowd along the avenue, and
as the news of the republican avalanche
began to come in the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie knew no bounds. If there were any
democrats in town they were hard indeed
to find. Maybe they had all gone home to
vote.
In every part of the city where the re-
turns were being received there were, large
gatherings of men, although in every group
there was a generous sprinlxling of women
well. On the avenue a number of can
vas frames had been erected, and on these

the returns were buletined as fast as they
came in over the wires. Three of the daily
papers had made arrangements to provide
the public with Geographic information by
means of stereopticons. The largest crowd
was in front of The Star office, but the
avenue was not near wide enough to give
room to all the people who would have
liked to take advantage Of the news that
WAS spread on the big double canvas, and
the other bulletins came in for their fair
share of the crowd.
A GOOd-Natured Crowd.
Incidentally 1T might be stated that a
number of the places where extracts of
corn, rye and hops are dispensed had late
news from the seat of war, and these places
came in for their share of attention and
the gentlemen with diamonds and white
Jackets had to work as they have not had
to do since the Pythian encampment. Still
there were very few signs of disorder wit
messed anywhere and, as a rule, the crowds
gave vent to their feelings with cries and
cheers that rent the air and We're lost in
the upper atmosphere. Bands of young men
locked arms and paraded up and down the
street, cheering for everything and every
body regardless of consequence. The en-
thuSiaSm, however. was not as dense as it
might have been, for within an hour or two
of the time the bulletins began to come in

the owner being in Europe. The painters
had erected q scaffold made of two ladders
tied together at the inre r ends and sus-
pended from the roof of the building by
three wooden joists. The scaffold had been
in use for four or five days.
The men were busily employed this morn
ing painting, about thirty-eight feet from
the pavement. An animated conversation
regarding yesterdays elections was in prog
ress, which somewhat distracted the atten-
ton of the workers from their insecure po-
sition. Thicker and O'Bren gradually
worked 'oward each other, and approach
ing close to the center of the scaffoid, their
combined weight proved too great for the
center joist, which gave way, ard mo-

Died In Fifteen Minutes.
When assistance reached the scene the
men who had fallen were unconscious. They
were taken to the Emergency Hospital in
the third precinct patrol wagon. Thicker
was found to be suffering from internal in
juries and he died within fifteen minutes
after being placed on the operating table
OBrien had sustained a fracture at the
base of the skull and he was put to bed
The physicians at the hospital were of the
opinion that O'Brien could not live more
than a few hours. Both men presented a
CHASTITY appearance, being besmeared from
head TO foot with red paint.
Thicker was. twenty-six years Of age and
lived at 442 street with his aged mother
and his sister, who depended upon him for
their support. He was unmarried. O'Brien
whose home is at 3407 o street. is thirty
nine years Of age. He has a wife and one
child, boy, about seven years. He had
another child, which was run over by a beer
delivery wagon and killed on 25th street
about one year ago. Mrs. O'Brien was noti-
fled of the accident, and she hurried to the
bedside of her husband at the hospital,
where she wept In a pathetic manner. Nc
Gee and Glasgow and several others also
visited the hospital.
Coroner Hammett viewed the remains Of
Thicker, and, after learning the particulars
of the accident, decided that an inquest was
unnecessary.

LONDON, November THE merchants

change in the United States tariff, form the
class which takes tie greatest interest in
American elections. But they are unable to
obtain any definite idea Of the political stu
alton owing to the many absurd mistakes
made on the subject by the English news
papers.
The Star, for instance, says that 1t Is
definitely known that Congress will con-
sist Of ten republicans, 133 democrats and
thirteen populists."
The Globe says, referring to the defeat of
Tammany: 1T was n particularly obnoxious
form of despotism. The defeat of Tamma-
ny is a good sign that they are gradually
progressing toward freedom, and perhaps
some day they may arrive at real self gov
ernment."
The st. James Gazette uses the defeat of
Tammany as the text Of sermon with
which 1t warns Londoners of several in
stances having lately been revealed that the
Tammany men.
The ST. James Gazette. however, says: 1T
is far cry from Tammany Hall to Spring
Gardens, and we do not suggest that there
is any sort of resemblance between the
Tammanyites and the county councillors
But 1t is desirable to check the faintest be-
ginnings which might lead to similar job
