Ex-BnrgIar Beaten Fatally.

New York, Dec. 21.-John ("Kid')
Mccoy. supposed to be an ex-bank
burglar whose record is known to the
police of all countries, was probably
fatally injured Monday by John Nc
Ginness, proprietor of a lodging house
The men quarrelled because Mccoy said
that the reputation of the house was not
good and he would not allow his wife to
work there. McGinness threw Mccoy
downstairs and then struck him on the
head with a heavy club, causing hemor-
rhage of the brain. Mccoy was taken
to a hospital and McGinness was ar
rested
kid" Mccoy was implicated in many
celebrated robberies. When last released
from Sing Sing he asserted that he in
tended to lead an honest life. Since then
he has made a precarious living selling
locks. At one time he took part in a
realistic drama called THE Stowaway,,"
in which he and a companion cracked
safe on the stage. Norman Selby, the

Back to Democracy.

Boston, Dec. 22.-Josiah Quincy was re-
elected mayor of Boston yesterday by
a plurality of 1887 over ex-Mayor Edwin
U. Curtis, the Republican candidate, and
a majority of 2S9 over all his opponents.
Some curious phases are presented by
the returns from the Republican wards,
particularly ward II. There Mr. Curtis
fell SO votes behind Governor Wolcott' s
total cast in that ward, while Josiah
Quincy gained 839 over Williams. Ar
ranging the vote of two years ago on the
ward lines corresponding to the pres
ent boundaries of the ward, it was found
that Mr. Curtis had lost 600 votes. The
vote in ward 20 and in some precincts
In other Dorchester wards was decidedly
to the Republican leaders,
and when the Democratic precincts held
up the Quincy vote by a substantial ratio
defeat was early recognized.
The surprise of the election was un.
'doubtedly the small vote for Riley.
Even in the wards where he made his
greatest effort and where he was backed
by young politicians who claimed to have
a strong backing, only few were found
in his support at the polls, while in his
own precinct he received but two votes.
