HIS SUNDAYS.

Sunday morning, after the busy week
is past, and the family breakfast has
been eaten, young Mr.. Rockefeller ac-
companies his mother to Sunday school.
They go to the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, and there the young man of
twenty-three takes his place in his
mothers Sunday school class and lis
tens to her teachings on the Bible.
It may be said for these teachings
that they partal1e more of the nature
of theological utterances; for Mrs.
Rockefeller is acknowledged to be one
of the first Bible students of the world.

has everything a bout this nautical mar

.ooui as WIN MAKE any important change
in these figures. No figures are avail
able on the total vote in the state, as
the committee sought to obtain only
pluralities.
Notwithstanding efforts were made to
get the vote for Jones, returns have
been secured from only Ss counties
These include the counties in which
the heaviest Jones vote was polled, and
show a total OF $4,000. The remaining
counties will swell the Jones vote to
100000.
The Republican figures on the legis-
lature are: House, Republicans, 81;
Democrats, 10; doubtful, 8. Senate,
Republicans, IS; Democrats, II; doubt
full, 3.
Cleveland-Fifty precincts in Cuya-
hoga county give Nash 3,732; Mclean,
1879; Jones, 6,646, "a Republican loss of
2,l62 and Democratic loss of 4,259.
This will give Jones majority over the
other two candidates in this comfy.
The vote in Canton was: Nash, 1859;
Mclean, 3,037; Jones, 219.

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY.

NEW York, Nov. 9.-Returns re-
ceived from up the state increase the
Republican assemblymen to SO, against
81 Democrats, Republican gain of 10.
In New York county the largest Tam
many plurality was that of the candi-
date for surrogate, Abner O. Thomas,
$3.50. He was formerly . Henry
George leader Ex-Justice Joseph Daily,
fusion candidate for supreme judge,
who was expected to get many Demo-
cratic votes, did not head the poll for
his ticket. The independent labor vote
as Indicated by the vote for John 8.
Crosby for supreme judge was $500, OF
5000 less than the Socialist vote. The
Tammany pluralities in the several
counties are about normal, the gains OF
assemblymen in this city being largely
due to combinations with Citizens
union and labor men against Republican
candidates. Richard Croker again ex-
pressed his regret that the Democrats mp
the state chad no organization, !" and
although he did not say SO, it is inferred
that Tammany hopes to organize the
whole state for the campaign of 1900.
Mr.. Croker pointed to Nebraska as an
illustration of what energetic work will
do. Senator Platt and Assemblyman
Mazet denied interviews in which they
were credited with saying that Assem-
blyman Stewards seat would surely be
contested They said that contest
would be made only in case convincing
proof of fraud was discovered.
In the four counties of New York
city the usual big Democratic majori-
ties were rolled up, every candidate
in every county being elected except
Gray, Democratic candidate for re-
corder of Kings, against whom charges
of corruption had been made.
Tammany shows no citation over the
plurality Of $4,000 for its New York
county ticket, having expected it. The
rejoicing is over the defeat Of Assem-
blyman Robert Mazet (Rep.) by Perez
M. Stewart in the Nineteenth assembly
district, which usually is strongly Re-
publican. DIR. Nelson Fl. Henry (Rep.)
in the Fifth assembly district, against
whom the labor unions made a fight,
was reelected,
In the Thirty-fourth congressional
district, E. B. Vreeland (Rep.) was
elected by an immense majority, at
least 10000.

LINCOLN, Nov. 9.-Complete county
tally change the early estimates of the
results Of Tuesdays election. The fus-
ionists carry the state by Is, 900, perhaps
more, on the face of the returns from
nearly half of the counties. They elect
William Neville to congress over Moses
p. Kinkead in the Sixth district, but by
q reduced majority and gain slightly in
judicial districts. Chairman Edmisten
of the Pop1list state central committee
insists that S. A. Holcomb is elected
Judge of the supreme court by $4,000,
probably more. The Republican COM
mittee gave up the fight and quit count
ing Wednesday morning.
w. j. Bryan said he had nothing fur
ther to add to his comment of Tuesday
night, that the fusion victory in Ne
braska was rebuke to the national ad-
ministration. He refused to discuss the
result in other states. Mr.. Bryan re
ceived many kilograms of congratula-
ton from all parts Of the United States.
There was an informal jollifcation
meeting in the Populist state headquar-
tiers yesterday afternoon. Chairman
Edmisten was kept busy at the long
distance telephone, receiving returns
and answering inquiries.
The fusionists are arranging for q
demonstration at the capitol grounds
Friday night.
Out of $4,000 votes outside of Douglas
county, reported in such manner as to
make comparison possible, Holcomb has
made q net gain over the vote cast fos
Poynter of 2,515 votes.
Republicans make no effort to ex-
plain the causes, though a number Of
leaders in this city differ from w. j.
Bryan in his statement that the gains
are only over last year, when the fusion
lists fell far short of their normal
strength. They p int out the fact that
former Governor Holcomb, when he ran
for governor the last time. carried the
state by 1000.
Holcomb carried Douglas county by
nearly 900 majority, according to the
returns so far received, which include
all but five of the SO precincts. Hay
ward last year carried Douglas county
by 800, while Holcomb in 1896 had car
ried it by 600. The totals are: Hol-
comb, 10, 1879; Reese, 1884.
The Republicans elected the entire
judicial ticket and most of their county
ticket, also their school board ticket.
The Democrats elected the sheriff, dis.
trict court clerk and treasurer

COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-The statisticians
at the Republican headquarters have
been busy all day endeavoring to secure
some accurate figure on the plurality Of
Judge Nash, the Republican candidate

This shows that in 81 counties Nash has

$685. On this basis the fusion major
ity in the state would be $1,000.
Returns from 227 precincts of Ne

Holcomb %, IA; Reese %, 1906.
The Lincoln State Journal posts a

jority.
LINCOLN, Nov. S.-There is no longer
any doubt as to the result in Nebraska.
The returns continue to show steady flu
sion gains, and the majority for Hol-
comb will not be less than 10000

"The campaign in Nebraska was fought

One feature OF the returns is that
Reese has polled practically the Repub-
ican vote of last year out in the state,
and that Holcomb's increase comes al
most entirely from the increase in the
total vote.

s.ble Tor some one person to have prop
erly made out and allowed one claim
held by him, which was more than one
half in amount of all claims due from
the bankrupt, thereby enabling said
creditor, if he felt so inclined, to elect
a trustee by his own one vote that
would in the management of the estate
shield the bankrupt in improper and
unfair disposition of the assets and
thereby defraud the honest creditor.
+ On the other hand, great number
of small creditors holding but a small
percentage of the actual indebtedness,
if the numbers alone elected trustee,
might join to elect an improper per-
son that would in the same way shield
the bankrupt.
/ believe that it was the intention of
congress that unless a clear majority
in numbers and amount of claims al
lowed, belonging to creditors present
at the first creditors meeting. that
there should be no election and that
the referee appoint trustee because
the creditors failed to elect.
l am somewhat strengthened in this
view by Form No. 90 adopted by the
supreme court for the appointments of
ia trustee by creditors. In this form I
find the following clause: eve whose
names are hereunder written, being
the majority in number and amounts
of claims of creditors of the said bank
rupt, whose claims have been allowed
and who were present ut this meeting
do hereby appoint etc"
Taking the whole matter cannot
see how any other conclusion can be
reached than the one have reached
in this case. Respectfully yours,

how such a story should get out | can
not say, but presumably it all originat-
ed from the fact that few days ago
we had a number OF men, including an
official or two, visit several places
along the '.peavine4 route in search
of ties. The Burlington is sorely in
need of ties at this time on account of
the extensive improvements which it
has under way, and we succeeded in
getting great many ties along that
line. That is one theory for the ru-

Notwithstanding Mr.. Browns disin-
clination to say what the intention of
the company is in regard to purchas-

turning from a tour of inspection of

cognizance of the fact that the addi-
tional train service which the Burling-
ton recently inaugurated on the Char
iton-St. Joe branch is proving very
satisfactory to the patrons of the road
as well as the company. Mr.. Brown
said there were some of the most wide

are rapidly growing to busy, prosper

NEW CONSTRUCTION.
Referee Coen CONSTITUTES a Section O
Bankrupt Laws.

The new bankrupt law is capable of
many constructions, like many other
laws, and it sometimes puzzles the adj
ministrator of justice to interpret
them. queer case has arisen in a
bankruptcy matter in the jurisdiction
of Referee Coen in the matter of the
election of a trustee by the creditors
of the insolvent where four creditors
holding the lesser amount of claims
against the bankrupt voted for one
person for. referee and two creditors
holding the larger amount of claims
voted for another trustee. The ref
cree held there was no election, giving
as his reason that the election of a
trustee 10y the one class might result
IN the appointment of an improper
person and vice versa. Referee Coen's
opinion on the matter follows:
Section Sc of the bankruptcy act
says: Creditors shall pass upon mat
tiers submitted to them at their meet
angs by majority vote in number aud
amount of claims of all creditors whose
claims have been allowed and are pres
ent, except as herein otherwise pro-
yided."
The construction of this section has
given me considerable trouble.I
Last Saturday in decided upon the
election of a trustee in the matter of
the Ottumwa Lumber Co., bankrupt,
the following facts existed: Four ere
ditors holding claims amounting to
S1,9S1.93 voted for j. Donald Kiser for
trustee; two creditors, holding claims
amounting to $4,654.57, voted for Tho
mas G. Harper.
/, the referee, being in doubt as to
the construction of the above section,
held the matter under advisement for
: one week and wrote to the Hon. John
s. Woolson, district judge for this dis
! trict, to ascertain his construction OF
this section or of the other referees in
this district. Judge Woolson being Sc
riously i'll, was unable to answer my
squery
On Saturday, Nov. 4, the referee de-
cided that there was no election and
held that in order to elect trustee it
was necessary to have more than half
the number of creditors vote for his
election, and that the voters for his
election must own and represent more
than half the amount of claims al
lowed.
The referee is of the opinion that
the intention of congress was, when
this act was passed, to make it impos-
