Excitement Over the Election at VIII.
minEtOn, Del.
WILMINGTON, Del. November 6.-The
canvassing board have been at work count
ing the vote of New Castle county. They
were in the court house all night. surround
ed constantly by bowling mob. The I'M
preston had gone forth that the demo-
cratic inspectors intended to count out Will
liam R. Finn, republican, for sheriff.
/, Sheriff Gillis, in order to prepare for the
outbreak that was expected to follow the
announcement that Toman (demccrat) was
defeated, despite the alleged manipulation
OF the figures in his interest, swore in one
hundred deputies. The militia companies
of the city were also called upon, and uni
formed men hurried to the armory of the
1st Regiment, N. G. D., located about four
blocks from the court house. The sight of
the militia only served to increase the ex-
citement.
Later, the sheriff, aided by over 100 dep
uties, ma naged to get the court room clear
ed. Then the doors were locked and all
outsiders were barred. This scattered the
crowd, and while large numbers congre-
gated around the court house grounds, they
were separated, and the mob's power of
mischief was gone.
Meanwhile the clerks, exha usted by their
long ard wearisome labors. essayed to add
the long columns of figures that they had
tabulated. Early in the count they differed
in totals. Then adding machines were sug-
gested. and lest was allowed to ascertain
II the machines could be procured from the
banks of the city.
This was the situation at o'clock, with
ble- 1t is hardly possible now that the
count can be completed before night, even
with the adding machines. Some Of the
militiamcn are still at the armory.

ELECTRIC POLES IN ALLEYS
Commissioners Cannot Authorize Their Eso.
tien, Says the Attorney.
Law Applies to Alleys as Well ~ to
Streets-HOw the Question
Was Rnised.

The Commissioners this afternoon decided
an important matter relative to the erection
Of poles and overhead wires IN alleys. hold
ing that they had no authority to grant
permits for the same.
Some days ago the Engineer Commissioner
referred to the attorney for the District for
opinion on the question whether there was
any authority in the Commissioners to per-
NIT the maintenance of poles and wires in
alleys for electric light purposes The opin-
ion not only covered this query, but also
took the ground that the Commissioners
were without authority Of law to permit
the erection of poles in alleys.
1t will be recalled by the act Of July 49,
1883. Congress specifically stated that the
Commissioners should not, after the 18th
of September of that year, permit or au-
thorize any additional telegraph. telephone,
electric lighting or other wires to be
erected or maintained on or over any OF
the streets or avenues of the city of Wash
ington, and the Commissioners should In
vestigate and report to Congress at Its
next session the best methods of removing
all electric wires from the surface Of the
streets. avenues and alleys. and the best
method of putting them underground.
1t was upon this act that the attorney
based his opinion. and he says. among
other things. that the restrictions upon
the Commissioners as to permitting addi-
tional telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires to be erected, ETC., relates in
terms to streets and avenues, but the di-
rection to investigate and report the best
method of removing overhead wires applies
to the streets, avenues and alleys. Until
1898. he says. it was proposed that the act
of 1883 in regard to overhead wires did not
apply to alleys. but in that year the au-
thority of the Commissioners to put tele-
phcne poles In alleys was questioned. and
Congress in the District appropriation bill
of August T. 1894. enacted a clause which
authorized the erection of telephone poles
in alleys.
This clause he considers may be con-
sidered legislative Interpretation Of the
act of 1888 in regard to overhead wires, and
the fair implication is that that act was
intended to apply to alleys well as to the
streets and avenues. Congress having by
the appropriation act of 1894 empowered
the Commissioners to authorize the use of
telephone poles in the public alleys of the
city excludes the idea that electric light
poles could be lawfully erected in the pub
lie alleys.

HIS Death shown to Have Resulted
From Accident.
This afternoon Coroner Hammett held an
inquest at the South Washington police
station, to determine how HartIy Branna-
gan managed to get In the muddy water

what he had when he came back
Witness said that Cornelius Campbell
was with Brannagan drinking. When they
had enough to drink witness refused them
any more and advised them to go home.
Several other witnesses were examined.
Some of them said they had seen Branna-
gan staggering about the canal, ard Fannie
Taylor, who was among the first to reach
the canal, said there was nobody near the
canal when the man was struggling to get
out. Men and women went to his assist
ance, but did not succeed in getting him
cut until life was extinct. Cornelius Camp
bell was not there at the time. and Fannie
heard that he was in Mrs. Beverly's house
asleep One witness said he had seen
Campbell and the deceased wrestling in
the saloon. but they were not fighting.
Campbell was present to explain his move
ments election night, and the jury conc1ud-
ed that Brannagans death was the result
Of an accident.

INTERNATIONAL n1MErALL1sM.
An English Manifesto on Mckinley,
Election.

Election.
At meeting of the Bimetallic League at
London yesterday a manifesto was drawn
up. Members from Birmingham. Man.
chester ard elsewhere were in attendance
The document states that McKinley's elec-
ton Is a victory for International bimetal-
lism and quotes the money plank of the
st. Louis platform. Continuing, 1t says:
I'm these circumstances. and in view of
agitation is likely to be maintained and
effort upon the part of the new govern
ment may be confidently anticipated to
bring about an international bimetallic
agreement for the opening of the mints of
the various countries to silver as well as
to gold.
1.-The recent contest has brought home
to the people of this country the vital
Importance Of the monetary question and
the grave dangers which threaten the in
dustrial, commercial and financial inter-
ests Of Great Britain so long rs it is not
settled on International lines. The un-
reasonable attitude of this country in the
past in the efforts to arrange settle
ment is mainly responsible for the attempt
just witnessed to induce the United States
to act alone and for the consequent un-
rest and disturbance in commercial and
financial circles. Therefore, it is earnest
ly hoped that this country and the other
great powers of Europe will heartily CO.
operate with the United States in their
endeavor to place the metallic money Of
the world upon permanent, sound and
scientific basis"
