fore stirring in the gravy. This will pre-
vent Jumps.

IT MAY END The CONTEST
Ballots Cast for Sweeney, Manley and
Others Last Spring, Destroyed.
NOT REMOVED FROM BOXES
Election Officers on Tuesday Morning
Empticd the Ballot Boxes and Con.
signed the Greater Part of the
Ballots to the Fnmcs.

1t is highly probable that the election
contests instituted by Henry w. Coyle
and John F. Kearney against Morgan
Sweeney and James A. Manley, for the
offices of common and select council
respectively from the Twelfth ward of
this city, will come to an abrupt ter
mination.
According to the election laws the
ballots of each election district remain
in the ballot boxes, unless removed by
order of court, until the following cleo
ton, when they are taken out and
burned by the election officers OF the
district in which they were cast.
In the case of contest an order is
usually obtained from the court and the
ballots removed from the boxes by the
clerk Of the courts and preserved until
their presence in court is required. 1t
appears that in the Twelfth ward case
the ballots cast at the election last
spring, the result of which Is now in dis
pute, were not removed before the bal
lot boxes were delivered to the election
officers for Tuesdays election.

ballots Wore Burned.

In the first district of the Twelfth
ward the old ballots were removed by
the election officers Tuesday morning
and burned. A portion of the second
district ballots were also burned before
it occurred to the officials that these
were the identical ballots that would be
needed to decide the pending contest.
The remainder of the ballots were pre-
served.
Altogether more than one-half Of the
total number Of votes cast in the
Twelfth ward were destroyed.
AS it will be necessary to examine the
ballots in open court before the con-
tests can be decided, to ascertain for
whom the votes found to be Illegal were
cast, 1t is probable that no further
steps will be taken in the contest. The
conclusive evidence has been destroyed

The rain Of yesterday played sad havoc with tho
cricket games OF the Metropolitan League. and the
postponenents will cause no little confusion. Tho
New York Club was TO have played Its last game with
the Columbus In Central Park. and the result OF the
match would have decided whether Harlem was
champion OF the second section. or whether the result
OF this very interesting competition had resulted In .
tie. II Is quite probable that the postponed game be-
tween the New Yorks and Columbus will he played
next saturday. and should New York prove victori-
Gus, the deciding game with Harlem could then be
played the following week. The Staten Island &, L.
were 10 have visited Paterson for their return game
with the local club, and unless the game is played on
Saturday next there Will be no other date open for It.
as both clubs have q full schedule.
The New Jersay-VlctOria game had been previously
postponed, as the Nictorias could not use their grounds
yesterday, but It Is more than probable that the match
viii he played out, as the game would give the New
Jcrseymen an opportunity Of improving their aver
ages without the result OF the game affecting the
Standing OF the club, and on this account they are not
likely to claim the forfeit they are entitled TO, while
the Victorias are quite willing TO night the battle out.
The other games OF Importance for yesterday. were
Few; but the disappointment was Just as keenly felt
by the clubs with minor contests on hand.

LONDON. Sept. s.-The news Of tho death Of
the Count OF Paris at Stowe House this morn
ing awakened genuine svmpathv throughout
Europe. including even the most patriotic re-
pubiicans IN France. His cause has been re-
garded 80 long as hopelessly lost that the
event is without political significance, and
his career IL now looked upon by his
countryman simply a. q dramatic and pa
thetio human document. II Is now believed
In Paris that secret knowledge of the nature
of the fatal malady Of the Count, more than a
year ago, had important influence in shaping
the policy Of the Vatican and several r~oyslist
leaders toward the French republic. The rally
ing Of the r~oyalists TO the new regime within
the last year has left such q small remnant Of
the once powerful party that the news from
Stowe House In the last few weeks has been Of
only personal interest and Importance. Gem
erous sympathy for the dying man and his
family has been expressed without stint in the
past few days by all classes Of Frenchmen.
