Irregularities May Cost Republicans Five
Votes and Give Them to Democrats.
PRINCESS ANN, Md, Nov. 6,--There
is serious legal controversy among
the supervisors Of election of Somerset
county over the vote cast on Tuesday,
j. S. Stamford, the democratic mem
Der, having refused to sign the certifl-
cate of election, because of certain ir-
Irregularities in the tally sheets and
ballots, in that the judges of election
in several instances failed to sign the
former and that at least 500 of the lat
ter were counted in spite of the fact
that they were not Endorsed with the
initials of one of the judges, as re-
quired by law. The question is likely
to be taken into the courts. where an
attempt may be made to throw out the
unmarked ballots and reverse the re-
suit of the late election, in which event
the four assemblymen and one senator
from Somerset may go into the demo
cratic, instead of the republican col
umn. This would leave the republic.

a CRIMINAL EXTRAORDINARY.


Fritz Meyer, Under Arrest in New York,
Suspected of Many AtrociOus Crimes.
New YORK, Nov 6.-Facts came to
light yesterday which stamp Fritz
Meyer, who murdered Policeman Fred
Smith in the Church of the Most
Holy Redeemer ten days ago, as
the most remarkable and desperate
criminal in the police history of
the metropolis. Two church murders
and three aliases are credited to him,
but more than that, other startling and
mysterious crimes which have bafled
the police of New York may yet be
fastened at his door. He was ready
to kill upon the slightest provoca-
ton. His wife says that his brutality
caused the death of six of their chill
dren. He made murderous attack
once upon her sister-in-law and nearly
succeeded in killing her, because she
refused to give him money.

Gen. Miles Would Mount the Chicago Gov

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Gen. Nelson A.

taken to protect the building from be-

of Gabbert, populist, as justice of the
supreme court. The Rocky Mountain

Estimates have been made of their
