NEW YORK, Aug. 2-It is estim-
ated that in yesterdays Tammsny
primaries % out of the 80 districts
have elected men backed by the
Cr6ker-Grant combination. This
will make ex.Mayor Hugh Grant
the nominal leader of Tammany
and put an end to the hopes of
Gilroy and Purroy. The voting
was productive of some interest
ing scenes in number of districts.
In the new Eleventh district
squad of police was kept busy, but
no serious disturbance occurred.
In that district, ex-Excise Commits
sioner Dalton, who, 1t Is said, will
be recog nized as one Of the thirty
five reform leaders, won by vote
of ninety to six. The followers Of
John j. Delaney, who opposed Dali
ton, declare, however, that the
primary was not fairly conducted
and they will appeal to the execu.
tive committee Of Tammany Hall
for redress. The Delaney faction
had five watchers and five Of the
six votes cast for Delaney were
cast by these men. 1t is claimed
that some of the voters challenged
were excluded, but the votes OF
number of others were sworn in.
The Delaney faction assert that
some of those who voted are likely
to ego up the river"
In the new 3fth district, where
Jacob Seabold is slated for leader
ship, there was the most exciting
kind of a time. When the voting
commenced there were more than
1000 men on hand and a squad Of
twelve policemen to some extent
maintained order. The greater
portion Of the district is North OF
the Harlem river. The opposi-
ton, led by John J. Hart, contend
ed that the leader of the district
should be chosen from that por-
ton of the district below the
bridges, Seabold tricked his op-
ponents at the very outset. He
had a decoy line of men range
themselves up in front OF one OF
the entrances. AS they did 80 the
Hart men made rush to get into
line. After long line had been
formed the Seabold voters like
flash formed another line at the
other entrance and the Hart men
In the other line were informed
that they were waiting at the
exit instead OF the entrance. Very
few Hart men got a chance to vote
and Hart admitted that he would
be beaten. He says however that
he will appeal against the result
as illegal.
In the 2lst district, it is almost
certain that the Gilroy candidate
for leader, E. V. Skinner, has de-
feated the Grant-Croker aspirant,
J. E. Kelly. There was some ex.
element and eight policemen were
on hand.
Shortly after the voting began
in the 10th district, backslider
from the Tammany Hall faction,
ex.Alderman Henry Flagshrmer |
in response to a speech, said that
the stupidity and fanaticism OF the
reform administration caused him
to return to the Tammany fold. He
to work as hard for Tam.
many as he had worked against
the organization for the last three
years. The political interest Of the
day was added to by the action Of
several members OF Good Govern
ment clubs of the 10Th district,
who sent in their designations that
they might join Tammany Hall,
giving as their reason: "The I'M
nature OF the six
exhibition OF fanatical re-
form government OF this city"

MISSOURI & NEWS.
In the Courts.


The constitutionality of Sedalia's
capital removal scheme is the basis of
a suit fled recently IN st. Louis.
The suit was filed by F. a. McManuS in be-
half of Thomas A. Meyers, who wants $500
from the Commonwealth Land and Develope-
ment Co. OF Sedalia. The petition recites that
one James b. QUigley and others. Of Sedalia,
confederated with certain citizens of Chicago
to deal in land in Sedalia, and they got through
the legislature a bill for a constitutional
amendment submitting to the people the Ques-
ton OF the removal Of the capital from Jefer-
son City to Sedalia; and in anticipation Of this
action Quigley and his associates had the Com
monwealth Land and Development Co. incor-
porated. Quigley was president, and he
held about $3.50 shares OF the stock. Soon after
the adoption Of the constitutional amendment
the defendant agreed to deliver twelve shares
OF the stock to Michael Kinealy, a lawyer OF
ST. Louis. and represented that within two
weeks 1t would be worth 300 a share, in con-
siGcration for which Kinealy was to advise the
deSrsdant Of any defects in the constitutional
amendment. iPlaintin here AYERS he carried
out his part of the agreement. The plaintiff
further states that the defendant never de-
Hvered kinealy his twelve shares of stock. and
he AYERS that the stock never was worth 800 q
share, because much OF it was given away,
and in various ways, whatever value
1t ever had, was greatly deprecated.
One thing that reduced the value OF the stock
was placing Of u 3,OOO,OO0 mortgage on the
lands of the corporation-an amount exceeding
by more than ten times the value OF the lands
owned by the corporation, and much greater
thai the lands can be expected TO become worth
in any reasonable time.
The plaintiff charges that the defendant cor
p%oration, in view OF a possible failure of the re-
moval resolution. is selling bonds Ut aOcents on
the dollar. and the effect OF this is to render
the stock wholly worthless On April = kinealy
assigned his claim to Meyers, the plaintiff. anG
the latter sues for 81 500 on Il breach Of the con-
tract.

"A swindler, giving his name as
Ransom, has devised 4 new scheme for
getting money from un~suspecting peo-
pie in Connecticut. He goes to private
houses telling people that 4 great deal
of counterfeit coin is in circulation.
and saying that he is an inspector ap-
pointed to test it. When the lady of
the house brings out what silver coins
she has, he turns it black by means of
acids, and then confiscates it, adding
that there is a heavy penalty for hold
ing counterfeit coin, and that a second
officer will come in a few days and re.
place the coins with those that are
good. Of course the second officer
never appears. 1t is a not very plausi.
bic swindle, but the operator has made
a good deal of money by it.
