MAZET WILL CONTEST.
Says He Was Defeated by Fraudulent
Ballots

New York. Nov S.-The Herald says:
While the Republicans admitted that
Perez NJ. Stewart had received the
greater number of votes in the Nine
teenth Assembly district they unan-
fmously declared that Robert Mazet
would again occupy his seat in the as
sembly- Stewards plurality is less than
the number of alleged fraudulent votes
cast in the district for the Tammany
Hall ticket. 1t was announced that Mr.
Mazet would make contest and that
there was ample evidence to justify a
Republican legislature in throwing out
more than 400 votes which were cast
against him. This report spread
through the district last night before
the figures became known.
The fight had been so bitter that the
small plurality was held to be INSULT
cient TO seat Stewart. Charges of
bribery and colonization We're freely
made on each side. A report was taken
to Republican headquarters that five
men who had gone to the Thirty-fOurth
election district intending to vote for
Mazet found that Tammany men had
cast ballots in their names. This was
said to have been one of the many
fragrant frauds.
defeated by 1000 or more" said Col
lectOr Bidwell. ''Mazet's defeat is due
to illegal voting illegal registration and
to every fraud in the calendar"
He would not discuss the prospect of
a contest.
Mr.. Quigg made these comments
THE strange feature of the fight is
that in the Democratic districts Stew
art has run behind, while in the Repub-
ican districts MaZet has run behind.
MaZet'S losses were heavier. My pres
ent estimate is that the total vote of
the Citizens Union in the assembly dis
trict was about $50. There We're at
least 400 fraudulent Tammany votes
cast.
The intention had been to have 1000
votes but we managed to prevent about
600"
Does Mr. Mazet assert that he has
been beaten by fraud?" I asked.
Il assert it," was the reply.

LIMITED COMES BACK.
Fast Santa Fe California Train
Makes Its Initial Trip.

The Santa Fe California limited, a
veritable palace on wheels, made it's mi
tiaI trip this morning, arriving at To-
peka. at 1890 o'clock and staying here
just seven minutes. This train marks
the re-inauguration of this Chicago
California fast service.
The service for 1899 starts off we'll.
There were rs passengers on board
when the train left Chicago last even
ing at o'clock, a few more boarded the
train at Kansas City and 5 at Topeka.
Reservations are also made for parties
at La Junta. And the beauty of the
whole list is the fact that they are all
paid passengers, it being a rule of the
company that no passes will be accepted
on this California limited train.
The train this morning, if possible,
surpasses the excellent service, and
handsome equipment of the California
limited train of last year. The cars
are all new, having been made express
~ for this service by the Pullman COM
pany. That they are Veritable palaces,
goes without saying Nothing finer in
the WaV of eQuiDment is to be found in
the railroad service The names of the
cars, making up the train this morning,
We're, buffet smoking car San Bernar-
dino, dining car No. 1854, Pullmans
Nampha, Ephialtes. SOphOcleS and OBJ
ServatfOn car Tryphena.
Each Pullman contains twelve sec
lions and a double drawing room. The
uphOlstering is generally elaborate, be-
ing Partisan green mOquette in the main
open car, and blue mOquette in the
drawing rooms. The main part of the
car is made very attractive, being elab-
Orately finished in highly polished St.
Jago mahogany. The trimmings of the
cars are modest and are known as the
Bower Barff whose unObstrusive black
is in pleasing contrast to the usual
trimmings of polished brass.
The cars are electrically lighted
throughout, and in addition have the
late improved berth lights, which are
inserted in their places in the evening
and giving a soft light, are especially
adapted to invalids, or to a person who
wishes to enjoy a few hours reading
before retiring for the night. Plenty of
sunlight and fresh air are admitted by
means of oval windows. and the cars
run with exceptional smOOthness, owing
to the perfectly adjusted truck bear
ings.
In the smoking car, we find a first
class barber shop. complete in every
detail. Next to this is the main part
of the car fitted in appropriate places
with writing desks, tables, and other
cOnVenienceS, while large rOOmy wicker
chairs are placed here and there in the
car. The forward end of the car, sepa-
rated by a partition is used for the
carrying of baggage
The California limited trains leave
Topeka every Sunday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. for the Pacific
coast while going east they pass
through Topeka for Chicago on Sunday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday These
limited trains make the journey from
Chicago to the Pacific coast in Sc hours.
There is no doubt that the limited has
come to stay, and by next year will be
running every day in the year.

BACK TO PLAIN HYMNS.
Yale Abandons RituaIistic Chapel
Services.

New York, Nov. 3.-A special to the
World from New Haven, says;
After a weeks trial of Titualistic
chapel services against which members
of the college choir and under graduates
protested, the Yale faculty today drop
ped the innovation and went back to
the plain orthodox psalm reading and
hymn singing Professor Perrin, chair
man of the faculty committee on chapel
exercises, was the originator of the
plan to have the choir chant 20 Lord,
Incline Our Hearts to Keep This Thy
Holy Law" while he read the Ten
Commandments.
Professor Perrin said tonight:
ASIDE from the general change in
the chapel service, made necessary by
the choice of q layman for president,
there had been 2 general desire express
ed by the corporation that the chapel
service be enriched. Last week, with
that idea in mind, I read the Ten Com
mandments with the choir chanting.
Il did not regard this as Introducing
a rituaHstic feature to the service. The
sole purpose was to enrich the service.
This same innovation, if it be termed
such, is in vogue in the center church
of this city and in congregational
churches all over the country. The
tendency in all Congregational churches
is to try to enrich the service in such
ways"
