JUGGLES CHARTER TO
BENEFIT HIS FRIENDS
Republican Beer Fest Fails to AZ
feet Democratic
Rally.

Comptroller McCardy's Juggling with
the charter to make it suit his own Pc
culiar construction of the law and bene-
fit his friends furnished the subject of a
scathing rebuke, administered last night
by Hon. d. w. Lawler before a mass
meeting of Fourth ward Democrats
The second meeting of the Democratic
campaign in the Fourth ward filled Pfeif-
fer's hall, Eighth and Wabasha streets,
TO the doors, and many interested voters
were unable to gain admission. The two
barrels Of beer opened in Mayall's alley
in the interest of Hart n. Cooks cam
paign had no appreciable influence in
drawing a crowd to the Republican open
air meeting and its opposition to the
Democratic meeting fell woefully fiat.
Mr.. LAWYER said in part:
eve judge men by the little things In
everyday life. A recent episode Illus
trates the character of Comptroller Nc
Cardy and the characters of the men
who are behind him and Doran in his
campaign. The fight McCardy is max
ing on Edward l.. Murphy is made on
Murphy the Democrat, and not Murphy
the man. Mr.. Murphy's resignation from
the board Of aldermen was made out in
triplicate. One copy was handed the
mayor. another to the city clerk, and the
third TO the president of the board of
aldermen. In law and common sense 1t
became effective at once. Mr.. Murphy

CORRECTED RETURNS
INDICATE BIG VOTE
Registration for Two Days Exceeds
Total Vote Two Years
Ago.

The total registration for two days was
24,12l, an increase over the vote two wears
ago of 1873. The second days registration
was 4,442, and the primary registration
20,219. Based on the usual percentages of
registration the total for the three days
will be considerably over 26O00, and may
reach 27,00O
The appended recapitulation is accurate
and was made by T h G lob from the
registration records of the several pre-
cincts. The totals fall considerably short
of the first figures published, which were
obtained from the reports sent in by
judges of election, and which were in
many instances only estimates. The gen
eral complexion of the registration and its
indications are practically unchanged by
the revision of the figures.
The indications are more favorable to
Democratic success rather than indicat-
ing any Republican gains. The heaviest
registration in almost every instance is
shown in the Democratic wards The
ratio Of registration is heaviest in the
Second, Tenth and Eleventh wards. The
latter two are Republican strongholds
but the Second can no longer be consid-
cred safely within the Republican fold.

Scientist Says Astronomy shows

NJ TorwaId Koehl a Scandinavian

mere are numerous traditions he SAYS

apds That after many, months Of close
investigation he ha$I beeIts unable to find
Of the case.
In the entire world ltowever, there
are only two points wllere such a phen-
omenon occurs, Eamely, at the North
Pole and at the South Pole, and the
next question to be answered was, at
Wh1cn of these two poles was the Garden
or Eden located? The learned Scandinay-
ian solves fhis problem easily. Ancient
traditions, he says, tell W. that our first
parents, Whens they departed from Eden,
eTnlgr3ted toward the south, and as 1t
would have been impossible for them to
go very far In that direction # the Car
den OF Eden had been located at the
South Pole the only logical conclusion
IS that 1t was situated at the North
Pole.
This novel theory is attracting much at
tention among scientists and Biblical stu
dents. Some are Inclined TO accept it I'M
rescryedly, but others hesitate and hint
that they would like to know something
more about the ancient traditions to
which Koehi refers so frequently. Phila-
