Mr.. J. B. Morgan, whose pen moves

the following lines for the occasion
MESSAGE OF THE FLOWERS.
Hear the message of the flowers,
That with fragrant lips they tell,
Blooming in fair summer bowers,
Over verdant hill and dale:
"God, the gracious Father made us,
Forth his wondrous love to show,
And in beauteous garb arrayed us,
So to brighten earth below.
Soon our tender lives will perish,
And our beauty meet decay;
Fen as sweetest joys men cherish
Quickly fade and pass away.
But the word of God endureth,
And forevermore shall stand;
Loving trust in Christ assureth
Fade,ess life at His right hand.

CHICAGO. Nov. ia large detail of po-
lice was called out at noon to-day to quell
bread riot in the City Hail. Two hundred
and fifty discharged employees of the water

The controller sent a clerk to inform the
men that there was no money in the city
treasury Instantly the crowd became riot

vengeance were howled forth by The angry
crowd, and the controller, gathering his

sent a hurried call for policemen. A half
dozen officers appeared, but were promntly
rushed out of the corridors by the thorough.
ly aroused men. A battalion or patrol....n
was summoned, and after. liberal use OF
force the rioters were dubbed into SUBJ
mission and driven from the City Hail. The
large crowd which had been attracted by
the disturbance was heartily in sympathy
with the ex-employes, and threats to COM

were numerous until the police succeeded

CRUISER INJURED.
Plates of the Cincinnati sprung by
striking a Submerged Wreck.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE water was
pumped out of the timber dry dock in the
Brooklyn navy yard to-day and the cruiser
Cincinnati, which met with an accident in
the sound yesterday, stood high and dry for
inspection. About two feet below the. water
line and some fly feet from her bow on
the port side, there is an abrasion and the
plates are sprung. Below the bilge keel
amidships several plates are Jared, and it
was at this point that the leakage occurred
which flooded some OF the compartments
in the double bottom.
One of the blades of the port propeller
Is badly bent and will have to be replaced
All the officers are certain that the ship
did not strike rock and they claim that
Ii was a sunken wreck which they discov-
cred so disastrously. John Johnson. a ship
wright from City island, who works in the
navy yard, says that about four years ago
schooner was sunk off Execution Rock
but her position was never located, and it
is supposed that 1t was this submerged
wreck that the Cincinnati ran foul of. Cap
tain Glass expects to have the cruiser afloat
again in less than two weeks.

DECATUR, ILL.,, Nov. Thames j. Cor
bett was seen at his hotel this afternoon.
When asked for an opinion on the death or
Riordan he said: 81 was sorry TO hear OF
the accident. because such occurrences hurt
boxing. 1t makes it look as IL the sport
really was dangerous and brutal, when II
is not at all. 1 knew Riordan in San Fran
cisco and l knew he was weak with dis
ease. He was in no condition TO go In such
an exhibition. II he had run a hundred
yards 1t might have killed him. he was
without life and had been drinking, too,
so when he got little tap on the jaw he
was knocked senseless and never came to.
But If he had been sober it would have
made no difference. The only thing
would blame Fitzsimmons for would be
for taking such a man to box with A
man like Fitzsimmons does not think how
much better a man he is than his partner,
and he goes TO giving ii TO his partner
too hard. But that did not have anything
TO do with this accident. / know ii was
because Riordan was not fit to do that kind
OF work. 1t has been the same with these
boys who have been killed in boxing ex-
hibitions- ] have known OF other cases

Jaw and II knocks him senseless. He never
comes out of IL because he has not life
enough TO get over anything.

CHANGES WERE MADE
MORE EVIDENCE Against KANSAS
CITY TALLY-sHEET FORGERs.
Both Precinct Returns and Recapitu-
lation Sheets Tempered with by
Observation-Disclosures Vote.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. I7.-Continu-
ing its exposure of election frauds, the Star
to-day publishes fac SMILES of a set of
figures OF the returns in precinct twenty
five of Ward Four and precinct twenty
seven of Ward Six. These are but two of
the precincts in which 1t is claimed the
election returns were changed some time
between election night and the second day
following. The Star claims the published
figures plainly indicate forgery. and points
out the apparent fact that the figures
and /. which it is claimed were reversed in
the twenty-ffth precinct returns. were not
written by the same hand that wrote the
complete returns from that precinct In
this precinct the total vote. according to
the Star, was: Bremmermann, DEM. 21l;
Jamison. Rep. 243- The center figure being
transposed by plain erasures made the vote
read Bremmermann. al; Jamison. 213. A
similar system OF alterations, 1t
is shown, were carried out in
the other precincts whose vote is
paper afiirms. ns were also altered es TO corre RE
spond and show plainly having been tam
pered with. The paper submits evidence TO
show the returns had not been juggled until
after they had been received at the Office
Of the recorder OF voters. 1t declares the
work was done between Saturday after
noon Goth inst) and the Monday morning
following. Summing up, the Star narrows
the responsibility down thus: "who put the
returns and the recapitulation sheet away
that Saturday night? Was il Recorder
Owsley, Deputy Thistlewaite or Deputy
Bristow? Mr. -Owsley states emphaticaliy
that he did aot put them away. Then 1t
was either Mr. Thistlewaite or Mr.. Bristow
Between the two there is a hazy idea that
one or the other did ii; certainly they know
they were locked up out of the reach of
