the minority inspector, admitted, in re-
sponse to questions by Mr.. O'Brien,
that the board was in a pretty bad
state" Judge Martin McHale was
drunk, noisy and continually quarrel
ing, and Inspector John McHale was
no better. The latter was absent from
the booth for two and three hours at
time. Minahan fell by the wayside
early In the game, Hosie said as early
possibly as 10 O'Clock in the morning.
Jones and Dougher, the overseers, and
Beaumont and Dacey, the watchers,
were all right. Hose denied that he,
himself, had been drinking anything.
outsiders forced themselves into the
booth while the count was in progress
and some of them participated in the
counting, one of them William Beau
mont, a watcher, even being allowed
to take the ballots from the box and
do the reading. He would pass them
over to the judge and the latter glanc-
ing over them. would pass them to In
spector McHale. who would say "All
right" and let them go without even
looking at them,
THE LIST DISAPPEARED.
Hosie admitted that he signed all the
names to the returns. The board
agreed that he should perform that
function. He could not account for the
absence of any signatures from the
open returns; he thought possibly that
particular sheet escaped his notice. He
was quite positive that the missing list
of voters was not in the ballot box, as
a search had been made for it there
before the box was locked. The list
disappeared from the table in front of
him while he was engaged in making
the count.
He then explained how the tally had
been carried out on three sheets in
stead Of one, as Moser presumably de-
scrbed. The tally that he, himself,
made out was carried out on one sheet,
brought forward to second and then
completed on the back of the second
sheet.
Hosie then proceeded to tell how he
saw the judge accept voter and then,
as his ballot was put into the box, In
spector McHale, to whom Candidate
O'Boye had whispered something,
snatched it out of the clerks hand and
threw it aside. Judge Gunster inter-
rupted him, however, saying that the
question of the missing returns was
the only matter formally DeIOfe lne
court and that at present he cared to
hear nothing foreign to the question
at issue.
Judge Gunster asked Hosie if he
could account for the missing returns.
He answered NO" but he was sure
they were not in the ballot box. He
concluded his testimony by admitting
that the figures on the open returns
were put in by Burns. Burns was
called to the stand and said this was
true.
OVerseer Dougher was next called up
and when he admitted about all that
Hosie had testified to, the court lee
tured him for not attending to his duty.
He could not account for the missing
list of voters.
Mr.. O'Brien then made an argument
to the effect that the court could not
certify TO the returns and have them
regularly entered, in the face of what
had developed, and, therefore. the vote
of the ward should be thrown out en-
tirely and a new election ordered
Court made no comment on this, but
said he would have the ballot box
brought in and a search made for the
missing papers.

HELPLESS TORPEDO BOATS.

They Are Giants in Offensive Opera
tions, But as Children When the
Tide Turns Against Them.
Torpedo boats are terrible in Of
Tense, but powerless in defense. This
will be realized more fully than now
before the end of the war. The incl
dent of the Winslow shows how help
less torpedo boat is when an enemy
gains fair chance to make her a
target. Torpedo boat service is the
most dangerous in the navy, especial
ly in accommodating duty up shallow
harbors, says the New York ''Com-
mercial- Advertiser. The tempta-
tion is strong to use torpedo boats in
shoal water, where they can accom-
plish work that gunboats cannot do.
With all this understood, young ma
val officers prefer torpedo boat service
to any other. Any young lieutenant
would rather command a 200-ton tor
pedo boat and take his chance of the
fate of Ensign Bagley than be execu-
tive officer of II, 000-tou battleship.

AsToR'S PATRIOTIC GIFT.
The Government Accepts His Offer of a
Mountain Battery.


NEW YORK, May 27-The battery Of
fered to the United States government
by John Astor when hostilities first
broke out was accepted in telegram
to H. B. Ely, Mr.. Astor's representative
in this city from Lieutenant O.. March
of the First United States artillery.
Lieutenant March has been detailed by
tho authorities in Washington to COM
mand the battery, and he will come on
TO Washington to personally superin-
tend the enlistment of the recruits. H.
B. Ely said:
1.-The new battery will be on the
order of what is called in England
mountain battery, the distinction lying
in that it can be used in mountainous
regions or in jungles, where field bat
terry would be of little use. The gun
carriages and guns are detachable and
are packed on the backs of mules for
transportation from place to place. The
battery will be made up of six Hotch-
kiss rapid fire guns and the men will
carry the customary side arms. A re-
cruiting station will be opened tomor-
row. Applications have already been
received from Columbia and Harvard
men and also from a number of the
Seventh regiment men. !"

WINoNA LAKE, Ind, May 27.-Rou.
tine business was laid aside by the
Presbyterian general assembly and the
time was given to a celebration of the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the Westminster Confession of Faith,
yesterday. The last speaker on the
afternoon program was former Gov
ernor James A. Beaver of Pennsylva-
MIA In closing, he remarked feelingly1
pointing to the national emblem, that
he had lately seen federal and former
confederate generals marching under
the same banner. General Beaver grew
pale and almost fell to the platform,
but, grasping the pulpit, he exclaimed:
"God speed the day when the north
ern and southern Presbyterian churches
shall unite to carry forward the Gospel
of the Son of God, as our national
forces have united, north and south, to
carry freedom to the ends of the earth. ;"
The effort proved too much for the
Pennsylvania veteran and he sank back
fainting into chair. The scene caused
considerable excitement, and order was
only restored by the announcement that
General Beaver had recovered.
the opening session. An oaken gavel
and granite block from Westminster
Abbey were presented for the use of the

League and Covenant" of Scotland.

dresses, the first being that of DIR. Will
lam H. Roberts of Philadelphia, the
stated clerk of the assembly, who de-
Scrlbed the work and character of Alex
ander Henderson, whose portrait stood
at the speakers right hand. DIR. Sam
uel J. Niccolls of St. Louis described
''the civil and religious conditions of
the times of the Westminster assem-
bly," and DR.. George o. Norcross of
Carlisle, Pa, rehearsed the history of
the assembly in the middle OF the Sew
enteenth century. An address was de-
hvered by DIR. j. d. Moffatt of Wash
ington, Pa, on the fundamental doc
trines of the Westminster confession
and cateehisms.
The Westminster standard was the
subject of addresses by Wesley Roberts,
stated clerk of the assembly; Dr. Sam
ael j. Nichols of St. Louis, DR.. George
Soroross of Carlisle, Pa, DR.. J. D.
Moffatt Of Washington, Pa, and others.
An address was made by DIR. Robert
f. Coyle of Oakland, Cal, on "West-
minister Polity and Worship" DR..
Coyle spoke of the loyalty of the assem-
bly, to the word of God of the promin-
,ence given to the kingship of Christ.
