committee. There were three tickets in
ward 4.
Then there was the candidacy of w.
Levi Bousquet to put the voters on
edge. Mr.. Bousquet announced at the
opening Of the polls that he had been
made a candidate for the aldermanic
nomination without any show Of par
tisanship. His speech, he said, was
brought out by the fact that his name
appeared on the Dodge ballots. When
he was put forward by the French peo-
pie, it was without any predictions
for either candidate. The French peo-
pie, when they presented his name, did
not intend that he should head any
ticket but his own.
Mr.. Bousquet intended to convey the
idea that he was not taking part
against either candidate. He said that
he spoke only for information. He
would like to be consulted when he was
to head any ticket. In an interview
with Mr.. Bousquet he said that he in
tended to ascertain who it was that
put his name on the Dodge ticket. He
had tickets of his own in the caucus
and he appealed to the partisans Of
both candidates for mayor Most of
the voters saw the justice of Mr. Bous-
quet's claim, and voted without pre-
JUDGE.
When you consider that ward is a
democratic stronghold, as strong in a
way as Gibraltar that guards the en-
trance to the Mediterranean. it was a
large vote that was east last night.
There were three tickets for ward COM
mittee. and the partisans Of the candi-
dates overworked themselves in the en-
deavor to land their men. The ticket,
however, that was headed by Charles
3, Slocumb was successful beyond the
hope of a change by recount.
WARD FIVE.
The Roe ticket was turned down in
ward caucus, which was held in Hor-
ticultural hall. An attempt was made
to have the successful delegation to
the municipal convention support Berg

dollars for one minutes heroism that
saved a life, is the reward that has just
come to Cornelius Mccarthy, modest
tobacconist ct Sixteenth and Jackson
streets.
News Of his sudden wealth reached
Mccarthy in a letter from James Hick-
ey, a lawyer, of Cork, notifying him
that his old friend and patron, John
Mccarthy, had died, leaving all of his
fortune to Mccarthy
When the new millionaire was
sturdy lad living in Boyden county
Cork, John Mccarthy came back from
fourteen years of successful operating
in the gold mines of South Africa with
a fortune of more than 100000 The
returning miner had no kinsfolk and
he took a great fancy to his young
namesake.
SAVES POSTMASTER FROM
DROWNING
John Mccarthy was made postmaster
of the village and his first act was to
give Cornelius a route to carry. One
day as he and John were crossing a
ford in the river Lee, the postmaster's
horse stumbled and pitched his rider
headlong into the river.
In an instant the man was borne into
deep waters. He had struck his head
on rock in his fall and was stunned

WARD ONE.
One of the largest crowds assembled

ceeded to explain about the alleged re-
moyal of James P. Crosby from ward
/. According to law, although Mr.. Cros-
by had moved temporarily from ward
on account of the death of his wife, he
was still a resident there. Alonzo A.

Among the voters were number of
women who cast ballots for their choice
for school committee.

\ dispatch to the Sun from
Frederick Tuesday night states
that ArmiStead Taylor, who was
convicted and sentenced to death
for the murder of Dora RoSenstein
on May IL, at her home in Slidell.
Montgomery County, had made a
confession and sworn affidavit
stating that he had killed both
LouiS Ro~enstein and his wife,
and that John Alfred Brown was
innocent.
This caused considerable excite
ment as rumorS to that effect had
been spread. Sheriff Patterson
said that Taylor had admitted
that he had killed both RoSen
stein and his wife, but Brown
was with him at the time and was
an accomplish in the crime.
"Taylor, said the sheriff. has told
SO many and such conflicting
stories that il is difficult to be
lieve any of them. TAYLOR is said
to have personally admitted that
he Killed the Rosensteins, but in
sisted that Brown was with him.
Mr., II. Dorsey EtchiSon. coun
sci for Brown. has promised that
he would have statement to
make to the press to-day, Fri
day
Sentiment in this community is
somewhat divided as to the guilt
Of Brown and some say that the
Governor has good reasons to ex.
tend a pardon in his ease.
others think that the Jury in
both cases rendered a Just verdict
in accordance with the evidence.
As one gentleman stated to the
writer: at certainly makes very
little actual difference, as far as
the verdict of the inry is concern
ed. whether Brown actually com
mitted the murder or not. He
certainly was there at the
time, and all things show him to
have conspired with Taylor to
commit the deed and divide the
money. If Taylor did the act,
Brown certainly was willing to do
it ifEhances had favored him, and
IN 50 being present and not seek
ing to hinder Taylor from doing
the bloody deed, he is in the eyes
Of God, man and law Just as
guilty as the actual murderer.
No one should draw such coarse
distinctions between the doing of
the deed and the watching and
helping to have it done. If
Brown was present when RoSen-
stein and his wife were killed by
Taylor, then he deserves his fate
as much as his companion. Gov.
eruor Lowndes will certainly not
interfere in the natter
