MACHINE FOR VOTERS.
It Records and Counts tho Ballots
at the Same Time.
At tho Presidential Election at Hudson
Mich, This Device Gave tho Result
within Two Minutes After
tho Polls Closed.

The first election returns sent ont
from any point in the country during
the recent election came from Hudson,
Mich. The polls closed at five o'clock
and two minutes later the result of the
ballot for president, congressman and
governor had been telephoned to De-
trot Within five minutes ii had been
sent to all the principal cities of the
country.
The means by which this was ac-
complished was the Abbott voting ma
chine, legalized for use at all elections
in the state of Michigan at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. 1t was the first
time the machines had been used at a
general election. A test of single ma
| chine at the spring election in Hudson,
when a tally kept showed n correct
| register of all votes and the result an
nounced by the inspectors within one
minute and forty-four seconds of the
closing of the polls, had proved the
efficiency of the apparatus, and its ac-
ton at the general election was fully up
to expectations.
The machine is Of the type which
keeps the record by means of register
| ing wheels. At the close of the ballot
ing it is only necessary for the inspec-
tors to read the numbers as they APP
pear on the wheels. The working parts
Of the apparatus are set of slides, each
carrying the names of all the candidates
for one office, the register wheels, n set
of which is connected with each candi-
dates name and upon which the votes
are recorded, and an operating bar,
which carries the unit wheel of every
candidate whose register wheels are in
the voting space forward one number,
thus adding each vote to those before
received by the candidate.
The machine keeps correct record of
all votes cast, regardless of and not in
Guiding those who may enter the ma
chine without voting; it keeps a tally
of all votes given to each candidate; and
it keeps record of all votes wherein

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Small Probability of Resumption of Their
Issue.

Issue.
Washington, Dec. There is at
present no likelihood that the treas
ury department will voluntarily resume
the issue of gold certificates for bullion
gold deposited. Within the past week
sterling exchange has gradually grown
stronger, until now it has reached
within a fraction of the gold export
ing point. During December and jan
uary it is usual for imports to be heavy,
us a result of which gold has to be sent
abroad in January and February to
meet the payment of the goods thus i'm
ported. AT present the gold reserve is
$50 900 above the reserve limit, and
the treasury rather discourages than
otherwise the receipt of gold, as it re-
duces its supply of currency. In round
figures, it has on hand net $4,000, ,0eu
in currency available for its daily busi-
ness,

FRANK THOMPSON.
Death of the Pioneer Hickman at the
County Hospital.

Frank Thompson, the old-time hack
man, died at the County Hospital yes
terday after a long illness.
Before old age and physical infirm-
tiles drove Mr.. Thompson from the
activities of life he was quite a prom
inent man in local politics. A Demo-
cratic convention without Frank
Thompson's presence would have been
a comparatively dull affair in the years
gone by.
Deceased was a man of firmness and
decision Of character, one who always
made his presence known and felt,
whether in street group or a political
assemblage. One of his characters
tics was faithfulness to his friends. He
would stand by friend in any emer-
gency, and his word could be relied
upon.
Some of the old-time friends Of Mr.
Thompson have made arrangements to
give him a proper burial, as he died
penniless. His funeral will take place
at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from
Clark's undertaking parlors on Fourth
street.

WALTHEW'S ASSAILANTS.
Arrest of the Men Who Drove Their
Horse Upon Him.

The two men who are accused Of hav-
ing on Sunday purposely run down with
a horse and cart Thomas A. Matthew,
while the latter was riding a wheel on
Ninth street, between ] and K, have
been arrested at last.
They were located at Elk Grove by
Officer Mike Fisher, and Deputy Sher-
If Hunters went out and arrested them
on the warrant sworn out by Mr.. Wal
thew on Sunday. Their names are Con-
rad Streng and John Hossli
Hlnters was accompanied by L. T.
Andrews, proprietor of the cyclery at
ga j street, who witnessed the out
rage. After running down Mr. Wal
thew, the men in the cart drove off as
rapidly as possible, but Andrews fol-
lowed them on a wheel and kept on
their trail until he learned something
about them. Officer Fisher followed the
matter UP and found where the men
lived
Matthew and Clarence M. Spalding
were riding slowly up street on Sun
DAY when the two men got into a cart
at the William Tell House and started
after them, their purpose being appar-
entity to run them down. Walthew
turned into Ninth street, but they fol-
lowed and collided with him, though
they had the whole street in which to
drive. Had he not caught one of the
cart-shafts with his hand he would
nave been trampled upon by the horse
and run over by the cart. AS it was,
he had bad fall and was severely
hurt
Streng and Hossli were last night
released on bail. some friends having

men say their horse was frightened by

thus making an outside salesman nee
essary, as in Chicago, in order to con-
solidate the buyers. But at the eleV-
enth hour those who had been shipping
over the West Shore consented to send
their fruit over the Erie, thus landing
all the fruit coming to New York at
one terminal, and making an OUTSIDE
salesroom in that city unnecessary.
This, to my mind, is a most favorable
condition, since not alone are buyers
and auctioneers brought together on
one spot, but likewise all the fruit, thus
materially facilitating matters ana
saving valuable time on the part of the
buyers. The Chicago system of rota-
ton was somewhat modified in New
York, it being determined to try the
plan until the 1st of August of rotating
auctioneers, instead of cars of fruit,
auctioneer A selling all his fruit before
auctioneer B begins, and so on.
