A NEW DEVICE FOR VOTING
Machine for Which the Inventor
CInfms Many Advantages.

y. B. Ross Democratic member of the
Ohio assembly for Putnam County is in
this city, attending to business connected
with the patenting of a mechanical vot-
ing booth, of which he is the inventor
The essential features of this aid to vot-
ing are a portable booth, containing a
keyboard similar TO that of a typewriter,
but much larger, and with the keys ar
ranged in straight parallel rows, about
four inches apart. Between these rows
are 10 be fastened the names on the bal
lot, with name opposite each key, and
which is voted by pressing the key down
Once key is pressed it locks automati-
cally all keys for the same Office These
are only released by the opening of the
gate as the voter passes out; thus rem
dering impossible such a mistake as may
be made on the Australian ballot as now
used, by marking two names for the
same office. There is in the booth cam
era for photographing such persons as
may be indicated by the challengerS as
being suspected of a desire TO repeat
The advantages claimed for the ma
chine by its inventor, Mr.. Ross, are:
That ii inSures absolute secrecy in the
casting of a vote, so tending to do away
with buying votes, as the purchaser can
never be sure of the delivery of the
goods; the quickness and ease with
which the votes can be cast, the inventor
claiming that double the number of men
can vote in the same space of time as
at present; and the feature that as fast
as the votes are cast they are registered
by the machine. so that the returns can
be announced within fifteen minutes af-
ter the closing of the polls.
The machine, according to the claims
made for it by Mr.. Ross. is the only sue
cessful voting machine in existence; and
the only one which fulfills the provisions
of the Australian ballot law.

The August Assault Case lis Squelch-
ed In Court.

James 4. August, jr., said to be the
atrical man, but whose occupation is en-
tered as nothing on the blotter OF the
First precinct police station, where he oc-
cupied a witness room last night. was
arrested in Baltimore yesterday morning
and brought 70 Washington TO answer a
charge of assault with intent TO kill. pre-
ferred by his wife. formerly Miss Fannie
Burkhart Miss Burkhart is a daughter
of John Burkhart of the Metropolitan
police department, and Mrs. August has
also been connected with the stage Sun
day afternoon Miss Mollie Burkhart ac-
cepted an invitation to go riding with her
sister, Mrs August, and her brother-in-
law, and the three drove into Maryland
across the Eastern Branch.
Before returning stop was made at a
resort on the other side of the Eastern
Branch. and it is said that August IN
dulged in a number of drinks. He became
rather boisterous, and on the way home
began to quarrel. When they reached
the front of Mr.. Burkharts house
August. it is alleged. pulled his wife out
of the carriage and beat and kicked her.
Miss Burkhart attempted TO interfere
and sustained a black eye and other
minor injuries. Mrs. Augusts wrist was
broken, and she was so badly injured and
beaten that she was put to bed and a
physician summoned
Monday Miss Burkhart called on Act
ing Inspector Boardman, at police head
quarters, and acting on his advice she
procured a warrant for the arrest of her
brother-in-law After she had obtained
it Detective Frank Baur was assigned TO
the case and went TO Baltimore, where 1t
was known August had gone.
Detective Baur, with the aid of the Bal
timore police made a search for August,
which was unsuccessful, and after leav-
ing description with sShe Baltimore
police he returned to Washington Yes
terday Inspector Boardman received a
telegram from Baltimore announcing the
| arrest of August and Detective Baur was
sent for him. He was brought here last
night and locked up at the First Precinct
police station.
The matter when brought before the
United States attorney this morning as
sumed an entirely different phase. In
stead of having the irate husband prose-
cuted Mrs. Burkhart appeared with an
attorney, and in behalf of August asked
| that the charge against him be with
drawn and the case nol-prossed, which
was done.

WORK OF INCENDIARIES.
Second Attempt to Burn a Baltimore
md Ohio Station.

The Baltimore and Ohio detectives are
investigating what seems to be a deter
mined effort on the part of enemies of the
railroad to destroy the station at Wash
ington Grove by fire. Yesterday morning
the second attempt within two weeks was
made, and but for the prompt work of
Messrs Welch, Hughes. Peck and Foster
1t would undoubtedly have been success
full.
The fire was started simultaneously in
three places and it had gained consider
able headway before it was discovered
The greatest blaze was on the outside of
the building and with great difficulty the
men named succeeded in subduing it.
Then it was discovered that the inside of
the building was on fire. This blaze was
eXtinguished in time to discover still an
other in a wagon loaded with two tons of
straw, which was waiting to be shipped.
But for the calmness of the atmosphere
1t is almost certain that the station, to-
gether with a number of freight cars
loaded with valuable freight, would have
had considerable difficulty in subduing
the flames, Washington Grove being with
out an adequate fire department.
The attempt which was made on the
18th of the present month to burn the
station was almost similar to the one
yesterday morning. Fire was started in
several places, but before it had gained
any headway it was discovered and eX-
tinguished. The matter has been called
to the attention of the police officials of
Washington and Baltimore and every eff
fort will be made to capture and punish
the miscreants

of the fall which stunned him. A serious
confusion of his back prevented him
from walking, and he was sent to a ward
Although his condition is not necessar-

say that he will be disabled for some
time.

frequently.
The President said to one of the candi-

He indicated that he would give II TO a
District man, and that the one present

by the Rev. Father Payne, of st. Marys

a few friends and relatives of the couple

handsome presents, among them being a
silver cup from the groom's relatives that
had been presented Mr.. Latham's grand
father, ex-Mayor Latham, of Alexandria,
during his public life in that city. The
couple left on the Norfolk boat last night

THE BoGARDUs ESTATE.
The Residence of Persons Interested
Made known.

The Register of Wills received another
communication from an official of the
Treasury Department in relation to the
Bogardus estate, brief history of which
and the litigations connected with it were
published two days ago in The Times.
The letter received this morning states
that it was not the intention of the par
ties concerned, in finding the heirs OF the
estate to give the matter such publicity.
nevertheless it says that ii has resulted
in finding the name and address of the
secretary of the heirs of the estate.
The publication of the correspondence
has resulted in the disclosure of the name
OF the secretary, Mrs. Mary Curry, who
resides at North Topeka, Kans.

to the intelligence as well as the
sense of humor of the auditor An excel

brought TO Washington by Messrs. Smyth
& Rice who have heretofore shown such
excellent judgment in selecting actors
and actresses to portray comic roles Miss
Katharine MulkinS, one of the young
ladies in the cast, made quite a hit here
last year IN an ingenue part. She is an
exceedingly pretty and attractive young
girl, and in the new piece it is believed
she will prove a surprise. "A Misfit Mar
riage' is the first new and important pro-
duction, the Columbia has had this season,
and the opening night will probably be a
