Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BOYD'S, Nd October q, 1900.
Fire broke out in the stone-crushing plant
of the Standard Lime and Stone Company
at Dickerson's, Montgomery county, Satur-
day night and the entire plant was de-
stroyed. 1t is supposed that the fire caught
from Il spark from one OF the furnaces
that had some fire left in 1t from Satur-
days work. and the engine, boilers and
crusher and elevator house were entirely
destroyed. but it is thought that the
crusher can be used again, the fire not
damaging it to such an extent that it can
not be used. One of the houses near by
and the new plant that is in course of con-
struction were saved. This plant furnishes
stone for street making for the District of
Columbia, which the stone company has a
large contract with.
Or. I. N. Shippers has returned from the
Maryland General Hospital at Baltimore,
where he has been for treatment for blood
poisoning. caused by the autopsy made by
him on the body of Hall at Germantown,
Md He is improving very slowly and
suffers at times great deal Of pain He
will so to Baltimore tomorrow to have one
of his little fingers amputated on account
of the condition 1t was left in after getting
better. The physicians at the hospital say
that 1t was the worst case of blood poison
Ing that they ever operated on, and it was
only by his promptness in taking treatment
that his life was saved
The farmers are very much elated over
the corn crop that is now being husked 1t
was thought that the drouth last summer
had cut the crop very badly, but the ear
is showing UP line after being husked and
is sound and large, and good average
crop has been made.
DR.. l. N. Shippers has returned to his
home from the Maryland General Hospital
where he had been under treatment for
blood poisoning, and rs getting along very

He will lose his little finger as result of
the poisoning. The physicians at the hos
pltal say this case was the worst form of
blood poisoning that has ever come to their
hospital for treatment DR.. Shippers will go
to Baltimore again Monday for further
treatment, and an operation upon the af-
hicted finger The blood poisoning resulted

date for governor 1t gave Mckinley 1861
plurality four years ago, and this year will
naturally democratic by a small margin.
Jefferson, ST. Lawrence Madison, Wash
ington, Livingston Franklin. Fulton, Hamil-
ton and Essex counties will poll very near
ly the republican vote in 1896. Schenec-
tady will give a large republican vote owing
to the thriving condition of its industries
largely republican Orange county, where
Mr.. Odell lives, is said to be thoroughly
aroused, and will give large plurality.
Increase in Registration.
Greater New Yorks total increase in
registration over that of 1896 is almost
10000. That means that more than 100000
citizens have registered to vote in this
campaign whose opening was marked with
apathy, and that about $4,000 votes will be
cast here for the electoral tickets of the
two great parties. Only five entire states
in the Union, besides New York. will eX-
coed this city's vote, based on that esti-
mate. The remarkable increase in the ctty's
poll list, too, is well distributed throughout
the five boroughs, except in the strong
Tammany section of Manhattan, below
18th street. Manhattan and the Bronx
show an increase of more than 10000:
Brooklyn, almost 23.0OO; Queens more than
1900, and Richmond about 200O There is
good reason for supposing, therefore. that
some unusual influence must have been at
work to bring out every voter Of all con-
ceivable elements independents and the
lnQ1HGrent, as well as those allied Win the
regular organizations of the great parties.
There is small comfort for Richard
Croker and his allied associates in the
registration figures, as judged from the
usual political view point The assembly
district being taken the unit in regis
tration comparisons, as 1t Is in all other
political questions. 1t is readily seen that the
strongest republican districts have shown
proportionately large increase in the
registration, and that the strongest Tam
many bailiwicks have Jagged behind. or. as
in some instances, even fallen below the
figures of four years ago.
Receipt of Donation Acknowledged.
A letter has been received by DR.. Will
trict Commissioners, from Gus Amundsen,
chief Of police Of Galveston, Texas, in
acknowledgment of the sum of S34S Is,
District police force and forwarded to Chief
Amundsen for the relief Of the Galveston
police force. The letter was in part as
follows:
Il desire to state that the police depart
ment of this city fully appreciates the gen.
erous and noble response Of the members
OF the metropolitan police department to
our appeal. In behalf Of my poor broken
up force of faithful. permit me to return
thanks to yourself, and through you, to
the members of your department, and say
to them that when we offer to God prayers
and thanksgiving we will ask that He shall
protect our brothers in blue of Washington
from all such catastrophies as was ours.
I'VE all hope that we shall never be called
upon to rectprocate under like circum-
stances At the same time / wish to state
that my men and myself. individually as
well as in our official capacities, are ever
ready to serve you and yours"

The Latest Complete Poll.


The latest complete poll of the state in
dicates that Mckinley will have plu-
rality of 1850. This poll places the demo-
cratic plurality in Manhattan and the
Bronx at 10000, and in Richmond borough
al 300 Brooklyn is given to Mckinley by
5000 and Queens also by 100 plurality. The
total plurality for Mckinley in the state
outside of Greater New York is placed at
141 800. 1t is expected that Odell VIII run
q, $50 votes behind Mckinley, giving him
a plurality over Stanchfield of 81 $50. Out
side of Greater New York, Schoharie, the
only county which stood by him In 1876,
is expected to be the only county to stand
by BRYAN this year. The poll shows that
generally speaking the republican strength
is greatest in the eastern and northern
parts of the state. In the southern and
western counties there VIII De a heaVy
slump, except in Chautauqua and Cattarau-
gus which show only slight declines from
the vote of 1896. In Erie county, where Nc.
Kinley received a plurality of To- 44O In 1876
and which gave Roosevelt only 22f2 in
1898 the republicans except to poll very
large vote Their majority may run as
high as 5000, though the uncertainties OF
the situation are so great mat the county
is credited in the poll with republican
surplus of only 61OO. With Few excep-
tons. the gold democrats of Buffalo, who
supported Mckinley four years ago, are
cratic organization itself is honeycombed
with Mckinley sentiment. This Is largely
6ue To the bitter democratic fractional quar-
re, which is being fought out in the county.
The fact that the present regime has been
defeated at the primaries and will be forced
to abdicate after the election is not con-
duciye to effective work. OF the members
of the democratic executive committee In
charge Of the campaign In Buffalo there Is
good reason for saying that nearly one
half will vote for Mckinley.
Germans Where They Were in '96.
The Germans, who form an important ele-
ment in the voting population OF the CITY,
take little interest in the Imperialism issue.
and stand about as they stood in 1896
BRYAN will receive the great majority OF
the labor vote.
In Monroe county there is an Indicated
loss of more than 1900 in the republican
plurality of 9,13O which Mckinley received
four years ago. This Is due In some de-
gree to republican fractional lighting, and In
part to the Independent element which is
powerful in the county. In Westminster
county bitter fractional contest is in prog
ress, and the republican plurality will be
only about oHe-third of what 1t was In 1886.
There will be large falling on, amounting
to nearly so per cent, Of the republican plu-
rality in Onondaga, owing to similar causes.
Albany county. which gave Van Wyck a
plurality of a25 for governor in 1893, after
having given Mckinley a surplus of 5000
votes two years earlier, will give him a
plurality of about 1000 this year. The gold
men Of Albany are actively working for
Mckinley. There will be large decrease
in the republican plurality In Chemung
county, the home Of the democratic candi-

Gasoline Explosion Causes Damage.

Daniel NJ. Ready, who keeps a grocery
store at No. 800 1 street southeast, was
painfully cut and burned yesterday after
noon while trying to extingush fire in his
house. He was taken to Providence Hos
pital for treatment.
The fire was the result of gasoline ex-
plosion. Mr.. Ready was attracted by the
call Of fire and hurried to the kitchen, hop
ing to extinguish the blaze. In breaking
a window his arm was cut and the blaze
scorched him before he could get out OF
the room. No. s engine company was called
out, and the flremen put out the fire after
damage to the amount of about $3.50 had
been done. The property was not insured.
