The Experience of Drummer Hatcher Dur,
ing the Freshet.

Mr.. L. A. Hatcher, the energetic and
popular travelling salesman Of Kelley
Il Co. Of Columbus, spent Sun
day and Monday at home, and while
here recited his experience during the
recent treshet. While travelling by
private conveyance in Alabama he
came to creek that he was afraid to
attempt to cross will the team. Send
ing the horse and buggy back to the
town where he bird them, he plunged
into the stream waist deep and waded
across. After walking a mile and
half he hired a horse and buggy at a
farm house and drove to Columbia,
where he intended to take passage on
the steamer City of Columbus, but the
threatening look of the river caused
him to take different notion. And
it is probably well that he did, for the
steamer sank on this trip and had he
been aboard he might have lost his life.

otherwise making known their presence,
at times defending within few feet of
the ground. No one has yet been able
to explain the antics of the birds.

Portland, Me, Nov. 1.-Joseph w.
Rounds, the young man who was ar
rested for the robbing of Mrs. Roberts
grave, was brought before Judge Toll
man, this morning. The court room
was packed with a curious throng of
listeners. Rounds was totally unmov

idea of the magnitude of what he was
charged with. Mr.. E. H. Wilson of
Portland. appeared for him and waived
a hearing. He was bound over to the
January term of court and placed un-
der bonds of $1,000 In default of bail,
he was taken back to Portland Jail.
The second case on the docket was
that of James L. Lockart for passing
forged check on Mr. c. M. Water
house, the tailor. He, through his at
torney, f. III. Wilson, also waived 4
hearing and was bound over to the
January term of court. His bond was
set at $500.

HOW THE BETTING GOES.
Chances Are that More Bets trs Talked Of
Than Are Made.

New York, Nov. 1.-Some talk about
betting was circulating at the various
headquarters, today. Chairman ]. Hatch
of the committee on enrolment of the
Citizens Union. was rumOred to have
had $4,000 given to him by various per-
sons to risk, the conditions being that
Low would beat Tracy. Mr.. Hatch's
stipulation was 5 to l.
The Van Wyck people sent man to Mr..
Hatch with $1,000. but he wanted to bet
that Van Wyck would beat Low. Mr..
Hatch refused the bet. He said his in
only beat Tracy. Several Republicans
sent John c. Graham, the leader in the
Soth Assembly district. to Mr.. Hatch with
$1,000. Mr.. Hatch made an appointment to
nee: Mr.. Graham at the Metropoie hotel
Mr.. Hatch claims that thus far he has
found only enough people ready to lake
his offer of to l that Low would beat
Tracy to deplete his betting capital by
&COO
number of men can be found at the
Low headquarters willing to bet that
Low will beat Tracy. No bets have been
heard of. however. which are risked on
the belief that Low will win. But little
betting talk has been INDUCED in at the
George headquarters.
Bets on the Produce Exchange Were
mostly in small amounts under 500. Sen
timent among the members was strongly
for Low. but Van Wyck led in the betting
with odds at to l. Three to one was
offered that Low will be defeated, and 2
to that Low will poll larger vote than
Tracy.

JOHN c. SMEEHAN PR0CLAiMs
That Van Wyck and Rest Of Democratic
Ticket Is Sure to Win.

New York, Nov. John C. Sheehan
issued the following statement, today:
The great municipal political con-
test is about to close it will result in a
great Democratic victory. AS in the
days of Jefferson, the Democratic party
in this contest has been arrayed
against the party which believes that
the masses of the people have no voice
in selection of their officials. 1t has
had to fight against the greed of the
party of monopolists, with the federal
administration at it's head.
For the past three years the city
of New York has been governed by
the party which has for it's motto Il
Am Holier Than Thou" and which
has given us the most wasteful, ex-
travagant and corrupt administration
that the city of New York have ever
experienced.
'Cnquestionably the results, tomor-
row night. will verify the claims made
during the canvass and will result in
a crushing defeat for the enemies of
the Democratic party and the enemies
of the common people and in the
triumphant election of Robert A. Van
Wyck and the rest of the Democratic
ticket"

tween Tracy and Low will be 31s to l..
and he expects Tracy to poll a total of

Democratic candidates total vote in
Greater New York at 100000 OF these

PALMER HOLDS THE FORT.
Baths Ex.cib Treasurer Refuses 10 Turn
Over Books and Funds.

Bath. Me-, Nov. 1.-The Times says:
William B. Palmer who was removed
from the office of city treasurer at a
recent meeting of the city council, has
not yet turned over the books or
money deposited in the bank The
money is deposited in the name of
William B. Palmer as city treasurer
and he said, this morning, that he
would not turn anything over until the
municipal authorities had made his re-
moval according to law. He is of the
opinion that the action of the city
council which voted his removal was
not legal. He thinks he has the right
of a hearing and a reasonable time to
prepare for the case and present his
side.
Mr.. Oscar c. Rogers, who was elected
city treasurer at the same meeting of
the city council which voted Palmer
removal, has filed his bond, taken the
oath of office and has been transacting
the business of the office. Today is
pay day for the city officials and the
mayor when seen ny the Times said
there would be money on hand to pay
the bills. .e.t
Last week it was given out that Mr.
Palmer was going to turn over the
books as treasurer this week but in
the meantime he has changed his
mind.
The report of Mr.. Bion Wilson, who
has been examining the city's books
is expected to be completed in a day
or two.

Charles Steckler for the Citizens
Union, claims a plurality of $1,000 for
New York and in support thereof, gives
figures from each Assembly district,
which he says are based upon actual
canvasses made by Citizens Union
workers. He added that certificates
and vouchers signed in all cases by the
men who made the canvasses, are on
file at Low headquarters.
At the George headquarters, a de-
tailed statement by Assembly districts
was given out to show that George will
have $1,000 votes in the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx. No state
ment was made of the Brooklyn vote,
but unless an extremely large vote
for George expected from that quarter,
1t would appear from the $1,000 esti-
mate that the Jeffersonian Democracy
leaders do not claim the election of
their candidates.
