Along with the prevalent talk about
the unfriendliness OF the rich toward
the poor comes the abatement that a
very wealthy man OF New York City,
whose riches fully entitle him to be
classed among the "plutocrats." has
decided to give the city the best sys-
tenn of cheap lodging-houses for men
In the world. The two houses to be
built Immediately are to cost more
than million dollars. They are not
to be for tramps. but for sober. indus
trious men, who, when they have en-
ployment. will be able to pay just
about what the accommodations re-
ceived will be worth.

sey Voorhees,. ex-United States sena-
tor from the State of Indiana. died at
5 o'clock this morning. at his home,
In this city, at 105 Maryland avenue,

proceedings OF the Senate. He had
been a constant sufferer from rllcu-
matism for years. The Inst reports OF
him, however. were that he was show.
ing some signs Of Improvement. and
his death. therefore, while not entirely
unexpected, came with the suddenness
Of q shock.

Denver, April 1O.-A special from
Victor to the Republican last night
said: s...
Excitement reigns in this city to-
night that has only been equaled In
the critical periods Of the now famous
Bull Hill war. Armed men are patroll-
Ing the streets and are on guard at the
city hall and city Jail.
The trouble which at this writing
looks 80 threatening grows out OF the
city elections of Inst Tuesday. The re-
suit as then announced gave Ford, the
Democratic candidate for mayor, plu-
rality of 5.
The canvassing board met to-day and
the result Of their count has been eag-
erly awaited amidst great excitement.
The interest reached fever heat when
1t wegTSn out that they had f0un0
seveSaf clerical errors which gave the
Office to the Citizens candidate. Greeve,
by plurality of two. The excitement
was intensified when City Clerk Arm
strong, Frank vanek and several 9TH
ers who participated in the recent eiec-
tion as officials, were placed under ar
rest. These men we're conveyed to the

deputy sheriffs armed with Winches-

Midnight-AddItional arrests Of Bill
Moore and George Rose have been
made. +. d. Ford, Democratic candi-
date for mayor, took the oath OF once
before Commissioner Chapman at U
o'clock. City Clerk Armstrong has been
released, having furnished bail In the
sum Of 500. The bail was furnished
by Aldermnn-elect II. II. Stoddard.
The charge upon which Armstrong
| was arrested In willful and malicious
neglect Of his duty as clerk and refusal
to certify to the election Of Il. ID. Ford
as mayor. Stoddard's election as trus-
tee depends upon the acceptance Of the
altered returns.
The tally sheets in three precincts
have, It is alleged, been tampered with,
and the clerks and Judges steadfnstiy
| deny the correctness Of the latest flg-
ures, asserting az their reason for not
acknowledging the count Of the can
vassing board that alterations have
been made since the night Of the eles-
tion.
Mayor Doyle insists that there mas
been fraud. and says that he will hold
the office of mayor until the man who
was elected, Ed. Ford, is seated, and
that he will not recognize the fraudu-
lent certificate issued by City Clerk
Armstrong which declares Grecye to
be elected.
