How They Treated washington.

AS an example Of the progress of
medicine during the last century The
Medical Record cites the case of Wash
ington's last illness. He died of laryn-
geal diphtheria, and the treatment was,
it would seem, for an old man sick
with disease, very exhausting to the
vitality. 1t consisted in the abstrac-
ton Of between two and three quarts
Of blood, the administration Of about
20 grains of calomel and grains of
tartar emetic and an injection, with ex-
ternal application Of blister. And yet
SO strong was Washington's constitu-
ton that he survived this treatment for
"a hours.

He's turned the whole house upside down,
Changed everything, and yet it
Does seem more homeike since he came
To GUST me and upset. it.

But raised his voice and cut a few
Not very kinglike capers.

stories of John Lloyd Morgan. The May

received from Mayor-elect Fagan regret

included Counsellors MCGEE, Rurode and
Douglass Storey of this city and Max j.
Eohler of New York. Mr.. Kohler was
formerly Assistant United States District

a sharp on all matters relating to the ex-
clusion act. Opposed to this array was

the four men were coming across the Nj

when they stepped out of the rowboat
and made their acquaintance. He board

during the trip to this city won their con-
fidence. so that they told him all about
being smuggled into the country. When
the train arrived in this city Kee arrested
the four "Chinks" and they were bailed

On these facts Mr.. Kohler raised the
question of jurisdiction, claiming that the
men should be arraigned at the place
where they came into the country. Mr..

DIRECTORS TERMS
Effect of Stokes Law De

The decision of the Court of Errors and

members of the present Board of Educa-

to the effect that it was unconstitutional
The Attorney General, basing his opinion
on the Stokes law, declared that the
Meekker Act, which extended te terms Of
the present city officials eight months,
did not apply to members of the Board
Of Education, as they were-although ap-
pointed by the Mayor-State officials. The
question now is as to whether the men-
bers of the Board are city or State eifi-.
cials. If they are city officials, their
terms of office would be- governed by tAe
Meelser Act, which extended the terms iof

opinion and holds that they are city

directors which expired May last would
be extended by the Meeker act to January

were thus extended would be replaced by
his appointees on January l.

GRETEN STILL LEADS
sixty-one Ballots Have Still
to Be Decided.

With sixty-one ballots still in dispute.
Richard Greten, the Democratic eandl-
date for Councilman in the First Ward
of Hoboken, has a plurality OF thirteen
votes over his Republican opponent, Silas
w. Decker, as a result of the recount
of the vote by the County Election Board
at its office, adjoining the Court House
on Saturday. OF the sixty-one ballots
which Justice Collins will determine this
afternoon how many shall be counted
about thirty-nine bear the name OF
Greten and thirty-two that of his OPP
ponent.
The ballots were referred to the Court
for various reasons. Some bear the
marks of dirty fingers, some are torn,
others have ink marks and not few
have pastors on them that do not cover
completely the name of the candidate
against whom the voter intended to cast
his ballot. The Court must decide which
of these are marked ballots within the
meaning of the law.
That there is little probability of the
result as announced on election night be-
ing reversed is evidenced by the fact that
in order for Decker to win he must have
the benefit of forty-three of these dlsput-
ed ballots In other words all of those
bearing his name which are in dispute
must be credited to him and at least four
teen of those with Gretens name must
be rejected by the Court.
It was after six o'clock on Saturday
night before the recount was completed d.
the County Election Board. The returns
made by the election boards of the four
wards gave Greten S71 and Decker $50, L
plurality of 16 for the Democratic candi-
date. AS far as completed the recount
gives the following vote to the two candi-
dates:-
Greten-First district, 329; Second dis
trict. 1877; Third district, 127; Fourth dis
trict, 24O; total s23.
Decker-First district. 2s7; Second dis
trict. 1885, Third district, 129; Fourth dis
trict, lss; total, $40.
OF the votes rejected by the local elec-
ton boards, two--one for each candidate
were ordered counted, and two ballots
that had been counted by the local boards
were thrown out at the recount.
The result of the recount as far as con;-
pleted, with the disputed ballots, will be
handed into court at $3.50 o'clock this af-s
ternoon. when Justice Collins will deter
mine which of them shall be counted. ana
the County Board of Elections will then
complete the official canvass.

he was preparing to push vigorously the
cases against election officers accused of
frand at the recent election. He said that
in not single case had the papers been
received from the local magistrates before
whom the preliminary hearings took
place. He announced his determination to
either visit each magistrate personally or
send his assistant, George T. Vickers, to
insist in prompt disposition of the pending
cases.
Judge Blair has not as yet disposed of
the cases of the Bayonne election officers
accused of false registration, who had a
preliminary hearing. and the cases of four
others from The same city are still to be
heard.
The Prosecutor says he is anxious to get
all the cases before the Grand Jury as
speedily as possible, and will bend every
energy to prevent any further delay.
