INVENTS VOTING MACHINE.
Ohio Editor Does Away with Many OBJ
jcctiOnable Features.

Alliance, o., May 2.-What is regard
ed by a number of prominent men of
this city who have seen it as one of the
most important inventions of the age is
a voting machine, the Invention of Wal
lace II. Phelps, editor of the Daily Re-
view, of this city. The machine keeps
q correct registry of the number of
votes at an election, gives the number
of votes which each candidate has re-
ceived as soon as the polls close, and
itself makes as many tally sheets as are
wanted with absolute correctness. 1t
is very compact and simple, occupying
a case about 10 by 80 inches. and 1t is
not expensive to manufacture. The
voter by the use of this machine is en-
abled to vote either "straigh. or q
mixed" ticket, and only a moment or
two is required in voting. If he votes
straight" ticket he touches but a
single button; if mixed ticket, then
a button for each candidate for whom
he wishes to vote.
The vote is not cast finally, however,
until one of the judges of election
touches a lever. The machinery is Sc
curely locked until the judge of election
permits its use, and remains locked
after the election is over showing with
in itself the vote in detail. as long as
may be desired. No ballots are used
with the machine, and no counting
out" is required. But one clerk will be
necessary in using the machine, and
within five minutes after the polls close
the vote of the precinct is known and
can be sent out.

GOVERNOR BROWNS GRIEF.

lie Is Heart Broken Over the Murder Of
His Son, and Denies Himself TO All
Callers.
st. Louis, May "A special from
Frankfort, KY, says that the state
offices on the public square were all
closed at II o'clock this morning, and
Grape was suspended from the entrance
doors. The desk occupied by Archie
Brown is closed, and the papers and
pictures Of his little girl at different
ages remain exactly as he left them. 1t
Is said that Governor Brown will not
now enter the senatorial race. He is
terribly distressed over his sons tragic
and shameful death. Many close friends
have called and rendered their sym
pathy.
Intimate friends of Governor Brown
say that he Is SO heart-broken over the
disgrace attached to the death of his
son that in all probability he will re-
sign the office of governor and retire to
private life. The governor is over
whelmed with grief and denies himself
to all callers.

his impersonation, furnishes the topic
of two-thirds of the conversation that

NO COAL AGREEMENT YET
The Sales Agents Are Unable Il
Adjust Differences.
READING is STILL STUBBORN
Galleries Of tho Company at Potts
ville Will Soon BE Running on
Full Time-Lchigh Valley
Mines Also Working.

New York, May 2.-The sales agents
of the anthracite coal trade held an ad-
journed meeting at the office of the
Pennsylvania Coal company at 12
o'clock today. The unfinished business
was that OF fixing a tonnage for May
involving restriction, and to hear the
report of the committee, consisting of
Messrs. Torrey, of Delaware and Hud-
son; Holden, of Lackawanna, and Wal
ters. of Coke Bros. & Co., limited, ap-
pointed to confer with the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company with a view of
securing the cooperation of that COM
pany in an agreement to restrict. The
Pennsylvania company has never been
a party to these monthly agreements,
and Lehigh Valley at Tuesdays meet
Ing fatty refused to assent to any
proposition unless the Pennsylvania
would be bound by the same terms.
The exact nature of the Pennsylvania
reply to the committee, which was pre-
sented at today's meeting, Is not
known, but 1t is understood that while
the company refuses to restrict as a
common carrier, its coal operators
were willing to be governed by the re-
lent, in the view of the Lehigh Valley,
to an assent to the main request and
that company withdrew its opposition
on that ground.
A discussion of the 70 per cent re-
strictive agreement was next taken up.
The original proposition was to restrict
to 20 per cent of the tonnage of June,
1894, or any other month agreeable to
all. Reading today announced that
June was not satisfactory, and selected
another month. When this amount was
figured out 1t was found that 1t would
mean 81 per cent. to Reading against it's
average Of 2O.3 per cent. in 1894. This
created considerable opposition. Jersey
Central and Lehigh Valley objected to
basing the agreement on the June out
put, as some of their collieries were
drowned out by the floods during that
month.
The meeting adjourned until o'clock.
The 10 per cent. proposition was aban-
doned in the later deliberations, and a
plan to mine three consecutive days
week during May suggested.
The anthracite coal sales agents this
afternoon practically agreed to restrict
production in May to three days a week.
An adjournment was taken until II.
o'clock tomorrow morning when the
price question will be taken up.
Mines on Full Time.
Pottsville, Pa, May Am order was
issued this evening from the Office of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron companys office instructing the
superintendents to work all of the col
lieries full time of ten hours day. For
many months the mines have been on
three quarter time. There has been no
order issued as to how long the col
lieries will work.
The Lehigh Valley collieries have
been ordered to work full week and
may be ordered to continue.

found bearing the address Of Ray M.
Culver, Newark, NJ. Five weeks ago
a young man, about "a years of age,
mysteriously disappeared from that
city. A few days later an anonymous
letter was received, saying that the
writer had made away with r. M. Cul-
yer in order to secure his fortune.
The body found today was identified
as that Of Culver. There was a 30
pound weight about the neck Of the
corpse when taken from the water. No
water was found in the lungs, and this
would indicate that murder was COM
mitted and the body thrown into the
water in order to cover up the crime.

was by advertising them in newspapers
that reach the masses.
