night after the registrars of voters had
added sos names to the voting lists as
they were posted last month. This
makes the total number of voters
qualified to mark their ballots next
month in Worcester 81 .119 as the post

voters.
This is a big falling off from the
lists Used at the special election last
February when registration in Wor-
cester reached the high = alter mark
with a total of PHI names on the
lists.
The scenes around the corridors Of
City Hall last night during the closing
hours took on something of the old
time enthusiasm. Both parties were
largely represented by their workers
and there was a hustle all along the
line to get new names on the lists, es-
pecially in Wards one, two, three and
five In the first three wards the big
registration is due to the senatorial
fight between John p. Munroe and
DAVID l. Walsh. In Ward three Rep

London, Oct. 1.-THE Times has the
following from it's Vienna correspond
ent: ''The Sofia correspondent of the
Poster Lloyd says that TpdaroffA the
driver who accompanied Miss Stone
when she was Kidnapped, has been ar
rested on suspicion of connivance. He
is a Bulgarian Protestant from a
Macedonian village, and his statements
are regarded as authentic.
"Todoroff asserts that Miss Stone,
accompanied by Zirkoff and his wife
by Dimetroff and three women teach
ers, all Bulgarians, was stopped by
brigands Sept 6 toward o'clock in the
evening in a narrow pass in the road
leading from the village of Bankso to
Dinmaia in Turkey. The brigands took
Miss Stone and Nine, zirkoff away and
left men to guard the others. This
guard, however, disappeared the fol-
lowing morning, leaving all the lug
gage and horses behind.
"Todaroff's attempt to represent the
brigands as Turks is considered suspi-
cious The fact that the brigands left
the luggage untouched is held to con-
firm the belief that their sole object
was to fill the empty pockets of the
Macedonian adventures. Todafoff de-
clares that the closing of the frontier
in these districts is quite illusory, as
he crossed without passport and de-
clares he did not meet with any 'front.'
