AdiJnyIts of the Election officers.

The judges Of election and the clerk,
and the two friends Of the candidates
who witnessed the count at the precinct
referred TO- feel much aSsrieved at the
imputation which OF necessity IS thus
cast on their integrity. and they have
made the following aftidavits. which con-
clusiyely show that there could have been
no Wrongdong on their part.
We, the undersigned. make the follow
ing statement: That l.. j. Carneal and
Sidney r. Lovenstein were the judges or
election and Valentine Brown was clerk
OF election at tho Fourth Precinct OF
Monroe Ward. IN the city OF Richmond,
M the primary election held In said city
on August 20, 1896, TO choose Democratic
nominee for Congress from the Third Con-
gresslonal District Of Virginia. That af-
ter the polls were closed that evening
MIR. George Med. Blake and Mr.. Thomas
NJ Walker were admitted 10 the room 10
witness the count OF ballots. Mr.. Blake
as the friend and representative Of Cap
tain John Lamb, one OF the candidates,
and MFR. Walker as the friend and repre-
sentative OF Colonel Tazewell Elicit, the
other candidate.
That the ballot-box was opened by one

or the judges OF election and the Dabots
were counted, and were found TO numocr
80, which corresponded exactly With the
number OF names Of voters on the poll
book. The ballots were then carefully
read and separated, those for Captain
Lamb being placed in one pile and those
FOR Colonel Elicit in another pile.
Mr.. LOvenstein then counted the Lamb
ballots. Mr. Blake overlooking the count.
They numbered seventy-slx G6) ballots.
Nr. Carneal counted the Elicit ballots,
Mr. Walker overlooking the count They
numbered seventy-four TD ballots Then
the process was reversed, Mr.. Lovenstein
counting the Elicit ballots. Mr.. Blake
overlooking the count. ard Mr.. Carneal
counting the Lamb ballots, Mr.. walker
overlooking the count. The result tailed
exactly with the first count-seventy-six
CG) for Lamb and seventy-four 90 for
Elicit Mr.. Lovenstein says that IN
counting the ballots he was careful to
read the name on each ballot. Mr.. Brown
was present during the whole time, ana
while he did not handle the ballots he saw
the count as above described. Neither
Mr. Blake nor MT Walker touched
single one Of the ballots. The ballots
were then put into an envelope and care
fully sealed with wax and carried to the
City Democratic Committee. at the Old
Market Hall, by the undersigned In per-
son.
Mr.. Lovenstein and Mr.. Carneol say
that they voted in the primary election
tor Captain Lamb. Mr. Brown says that
he worked FOR Colonel Elicit and voted
for him in the primary. Mr.. Walker was
a worker and ballot-hOlder at this pre-
cinct that day for Colonel Eilett. Mr..
Blake was a friend and supporter Of Cap
tain Lamb.
We are, therefore, absolutely certain
that the ballots cast at this precinct were
counted correctly, and that the envelope
sealed and delivered by US TO the City
Committee contained seventy-six G6 bai-
lots for Captain John Lamb and seventy
four GD ballots for Colonel Tazewell
Elicit.

Richmond, Va, October q, 1896.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
| have been overwhelmed to-day by
visitors who desired to know what I knew
or had to say relative TO the article in
the Times OF this morning. which states
that l and not Captain Lamb was entitled
10 the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the Third District as a result OF
the late primary.

It to say that as a Democrat shall sup
port Captain Lamb and l deem it my
duty to my party and to those friends
who so earnestly advocated my cause TO
urge upon all 10 support Captain Lamb,
the only Democratic nominee in the field.
Very respectfully,

porter, Colonel Elicit said he had known
of the allegations with reference to the

Statement of Capt. Lambs Friends.
Captain Lamb was not in the city yes
terday. His friends say he knew nothing
Of the matter until it appeared In the
Times. one of his managers said last
night:
1.-THE publication IS evidently designed
10 injure Captain Lambs chances for
election, and TO aid those of his Republi-
can opponent and, Sc far as the Times is
concerned in this attempt. 1t is an evil
dence of the kind of neutrality that paper
is maintaining between the two candi-
dates The afiidavits Of the judges and
clerk of election. and Messrs. Blake and
Walker show in a most convincing man.

have been the same, for in that event

Mr.. Smith. would have been 81 for Mr..
Owen to 90 for Mr.. Smith. The breaking

After the lapse OF the time allowed for
contests by the plan Of the primary. not
even the committee itself had any rightful
authority TO open and recount the ballots;
that the only proper disposition TO be
made Of them was to burn them with the
seals unbroken, according to the long
established practice of the committee. For

in this, its true light.

BUFFALO SLAYERS.
Gang of Poachers Chased Out of yell
lOwstOne National Park.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE campaign
of the government authorities to suppress
the poaching operations against the few re-
naming buffaloes in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park is reported on by acting super
intendent Anderson in a communication to
Secretary Smith. Captain Anderson says
he employed detective during the winter
and sent him among the members of the
gang of poachers working from Idaho. Then
two expeditions were dispatched to that
region. They spent about two weeks and
found carcasseS of nine or ten buffaloes
killed within the previous three or four
months They also come on a party of
poachers and pursued them out of the park
firing on them and killing one of their
horses Several informations were sworn
out meantime. James Courtney, Of Henry
Lake, was captured while delivering
piunder to w. +. Witch, Butte taxider-
mist. At the subsequent trial he was ac-
Quilted on q claim that the spoils were
Obtained in Idaho, outside of the park.
Captain Anderson, however, believes the
capture has resulted in thoroughly stamped
ing and demoralizing associate poachers,
and probably will prevent them from maxi
ing further inroads on park game. Interior
Department officials say that, unlike Mon
tara poaching is not made felony
throughout the year in Wyoming and Ida
no. and suggestions to remedy this as to
check the poachers doubtless will be con-
veyed from Washington to the authori-
ties Of these States.

He entered a crowded woodward-avenue
car the other morning. and after a look
around he reached out his hand TO a mid
dle-aged gentleman and ssluted: r..es.-rgl

That's funny! SIX weeks ago last night
i was on one of these cars with my wife.
You were also a passenger. The car was
crowded. and you got up and lifted your

The man sitting down began to get red
in the face and move about uneasIly. and
the man standing up loudly continued:

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Evening Post
contains the following: There was SAID
this morning, by those in position to have
early information on the subject. to be
good reason for believing that two large
German banks intend to subscribe for $780,
100000 of the new government loan. Inc
Deutsche Bank it was said. intended to sub
scribe for $25, 900 OF the bonds and the
Bleichroeders for $15,99O,OOO. 1t YVES also
said that the Imperial Council had been
largely influenced in conserving to these
subscriptions by the strained relations now
existing between Germany and England. 1t
was said that as will probably be the
case with large corporations in this coun-
try, the German banks will put in their bids
for the bonds, and will also be responsible
for a similar interest through the Morgan
syndicate in case the bonds should be Sc
cured by the syndicate"

stopped over to see him. The superintend-
ent ordered the fellow locked up on the
charge OF lettering. Kinney first declared
he was passing through the city looking for
work, when he remembered Hardin was here
and went TO the Jail to see him. Afterwards
he said he was .'news-butcher" on the
train from which Hardin is said to have
taken the express package. The detectives
found in his room on North West street a
bottle Of chiOroform and handkerchief that
had been saturated with the drug. He ex-
planned having the chloroform by saying he
had suffered with the toothache and bought
it to relieve the pain. On some of his
clothing was found the name @. c. Morris.

innumerable small worms. These thrive
upon the bran, then eat their way through
the blankets into the second layer OF bran.
and finally appear in a wriggling mass un-
der linen cover at the top OF the drawer.
When this occurs their diet IS varied with
an allowance OF beer. Meal worms fatten
rapidly upon lager beer. 1t is sprinlled ell
over the linen cover until that becomes sat
urated and the meal under it becomes
soaked. Beer-fed worms are ready for the
market after a fortnight's guzzling. They
are sold by the Acherts at the rate OF
100 for 25 cents. and 800 hooking birds are
supplied with daily food regularly through
out the year. Each bird eats from two to
four worms a day. So the feeding comes
cheap.
About three-fourths OF the worms raised
on the Seventeenth street farm are sold
the remainder being kept for breeding pur-
poses. When a worm grows pretty fat
he crawls back TO the bottom OF the drawer
and begins his metamorphosis to a larva
then to a bug, then 10 an egg and back TO
a worm again. T.. T.. Achcrt and his wife

Red Men OF this city ran an excursion over
the Big Four to Benton Harbor. Among
the passengers was Charlie Moneyhun, and
during the trip ne was taken sick. He
stepped TO the platform and the cars bumped
together with force that caused young
Moneyhun to lose his balance. The train
was making about forty miles an hour and
the boy was thrown fully fifty feet from
the cars, landing against fence. His right
leg was broken IN three places, the left
IN one and the ankle disloca ted He was
rendered unconscious and did not receive
prompt attention. Mrs. Moneyhun who
was IN poor health. was so badly shocked
BY the event that she died In few weeks
Some time ago suit was brought in the Su-
perior Court OF this city for heavy damages
Inc legal fight has been sharply contested
and ended to-day in a verdict IN favor OF
Moneyhun amounting to $500. 1t is one OF
the largest in the history of Madison county
courts, but not a surprise to Andersonians.
The sympathy of many have been with
MOneyhun from the first.
