COUNTING OF fAE VOTES.
In Recent Elections There Has Boon Lit
Ito Fraud In Now York.

In Recent Elections There Has Doen Lit
Ito Fraud In Now York.
The counting Of votes has been in
the past moro fruitful of trickcry and
Justification thnn any other part Of
the election process. In 1893 the car
vassers in certain districts reduced the
matter to its lowest terms by simply
reporting q unanimous vote on their
side, and then going out to fling up their
hats for the rest OF the night. In the
subsequent election Competent and ir-
c%orruptible men supervised the canvass
so strictly that the percentage of fraud
was so small, IL any existed, Us never &c
be heard of. This watching, says q
writer in Century, at the count not only
prevented intentional lying, but savcl
accidental mistakes. In ono case the
board of inspectors confessed they did
not know how 10 count the votes, and
submitted entirely; to. the guidance Of
o well-informed watcher.
The counting is done in public, and
is often an interesting sight Every or
ganization and each candidate may
send n representative to observe Il,
though nobody but the inspectors is
permitted to touch the ballots. The
straight tickets are first counted in tens
by four men in succession, and n tally
is kept by ut least two assistants. Each
name is credited with as many votes
MS there are tickets for his side. Then
one inspector reads off of those tickets
which are split" or have pastors ut
tached, or upon which names have been
raised or new names written, and each
candidate is credited with n vote every
time his name appears. When this il
finished the most prominent Office IL
taken W, and the sum of the votes for
each candidate is ~ascertained.

WEBER DIED SUDDENLY.
Effect of Il Moving Was Too Much
Cor Him.

Christian Weber, an eXpressman
living with his family at 554 Thomas
street. died at his home yesterday
morning from the effects of acute
alcoholism. Coroner Nelson viewed the
body and decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. Weber had been i'll since
Saturday night. Saturday afternoon.
in company with another eXpressman
named Charles ZacOo. he was engaged
in moving the effects of Frank Brown,
q saloon keeper, from a building owned
by Undertaken Adams, and the two
men had been given permission to drink
as much of the liquor as they desired.
The task of moving the saloon fixtures
was a prOtracted one lasting through
out the afternoon: and shortly after
Weber went home he was taken with
severe pains in the stomach. His con-
ditiOn grew rapidly worse and Dr..
NieregGe was called to attend him.
The physician diagnosed the case as
one of alcoholism and did everything
in his power to relieve Weber, but
the mans condition was such as to rem
der futile all treatment. and after
lingering in suffering until yesterday
morning he died Weber leaves a
wife and FIVE children, the eldest of
whom is but six years Of age, and
the Youngest a babe Of one year. He
was fifty-three wears of age, having
come to ST Paul about ten years ago
from Cottage Grove. where he was en-
gagged in farming. Since coming to the
city he has been driving an express
wagon.
