REMARKABLE VOTING IN THE CITIES

The people of Connecticut yesterday
voted for Constitutional Convention
the majority in favor Of this somewhat
radical step being about twenty one
thousand.
They also voted in favor of two spe-
cific constitutional amendments, decid-
ing in favor Of election of State officers
by plurality vote instead Of major
ity by the margin of 1898, and in fa-
vor Of an increase in senatorial repre-
sentation by margin of 27,012
The little town elections, in 1862 of the
1853 towns in the State, sank into COM
parative insignificance, but the Repub-
. licans carried 112 towns, the Democrats
forty-three, seven towns being missing.
AS was to be expected, the interest in
the balloting centered in the question
involved in the proposition to call a
Constitutional Convention. Out of a
a total vote of 73,707, or 36 per cent. of
the total, was cast. With ten towns Of
the 1853 In the State missing, the total
vote on the Constitutional Convention
question was divided as follows: Yes,
47,422; No, 26,477, giving a majority in
favor of the convention, with a few
towns missing, of 20,945. OF the 1853
towns from which returns We're receiv-
ed 119 voted against the convention, and
thirty nine, including all the cities of
the State voted for it. The eighteen
cities gave a total vote for the conven-
tion of 1885, The vote in the cities
against the convention was 5,465. The
small towns gave total vote of II, ,696
in favor of the convention and 2O,720
against 1t. The cities cast but 35 per
cent. of their registration, while the
towns voted SO per cent Of the total
registration.
On the vote for the constitutional
amendments returns were received
from all except few small towns. The
total vote in favor of election by plu-
rality instead of majority was 49,604
against 1869. The total vote in favor
of increased senatorial representation
was 43,711; against it 16,699.
Six towns-Hartford, New Haven
Bridgeport, Ansonia, Derby and Nau-
gatuck-did not hold town elections.
New London, Derby, Waterbury, South
Norwalk and Norwalk held city cleo
tons.

HAND WRITING EXPERTS
Ruin a Man Financially and Worry
Him Two Years.
GUILTY PARTY SAVES HIM.

Guthrie, O. T.. March 16.-The
strange case of ex-Postmaster George
G. Boggs, of Shawnee, Pottawatomie
county, will be used as an argument
against couvicting suspected persons
OH the testimony of handwriting ea-
perts in future cases
In 1897 Mr.. Boggs was appointed
postmaster when only 20 years of age
but he was endorsed by the best bust
ness men of that city, who had known
him for several years, during which
time he had won a reputation for hon
esty and square business ability that
any man might envy.
On November ;, of the same year
registered packages, containing S456,
money Mr.. Boggs had receipted for as
entering his office, were missing. Eight
days afterward, the money was found
in the door box of the old postofice,
before. Around the bills were two
sheets of notepaper, on the inner one
being written: Take your money and
be more careful next time" On the
outer sheet was this direction: Post
master of Shawnee" Mr.. Boggs no.
titled the government and an inspector
was detailed to solve the mystery sur
rounding the theft and return of the
money.
The inspectors investigation ended
in the arrest of Boggs. lie protested
his innocence, but at his trial the gov
eminent produced experts in handwri-
ting who swore positively that the
handwriting on the paper inclosing
the bills was Boggs'; and he was con-
victed mainly on this testimony.
After two years a letter reached the
president stating that the writer was
the guilty party and that he would
confess and take short penitentiary
sentence if Boggs was turned loose
and reinstated as postmaster.
The courts having failed to give
Boggs relief. his friends prepared a
monster petition asking for executive
clemency, which was refused and the
prison doors once more yawned for
Boggs, when the unexpected happened
-Lovelady confessed, According to
Lovelady's statement the package had
been sent by mistake to the Tecumseh
postoffice where Lovelady was chief
clerk, and had not been receipted for
at that Office. Lovelady was tempted
and took the money, but remembering
that the numbers of the bills were GER
tainly recorded somewhere he took the
money to Shawnee and placed it where
it was found.
While the expense of the many trials
has ruined Mr.. Boggs financially, he
and his many friends are overjoyed at
his vindication, and as soon as he is
released from custody he will be helped
to get on his feet again. His faithful
wife has never doubted his innocence.
Love lady will probably go free.
