BOY FOUND DEAD IN BRIDLE PATH

Watterson Says He Can't Fool Demo-
 crats Any More.

Louisville, Ky, Dec 11.-Henry Wat terson in the Courier-J ournal yesterday takes another stab at the Cleveland boom. In the course of lengthy editorial he says:
 When, during the early days of last spring MT Cleveland, like bulb- ous root, broke the winter sods of a prolonged seclusion and burst forth in to unexpected bloom and verdure, and the Courier-Journal described the spec tacle as ominouss rather of crop of noxious weeds than of any benefcient fruition, a number of newspapers reared back on their hind legs and be- gan to prance and dance in derisiOn about it. We thought we knew what we were up to- Yet. although we itemized the account current and sub mitted never so specific bill of his toric particulars, they would none of either.
 Now the poor old democratic party, so often misled and victimized, will say:
 You fooled me once, you fooled me twice, you cannot fool me again. Just send for the undertaken
 3It is a trife early for the million aires to begin the naming of presi- dents. But, when they do it will be for democracy to exclaim I forbid Then, indeed, shall there arise some leader with creative wand to assemble forces in the desolate camps. But this will be long after we have gone to sleep. And his name will not be Grover Cleveland.'

Supreme Court Refuses to MandamuS
 Inspecting Board.
 ITHACA, N. T., Dec. 11.-Supreme Court Justice Sewall has refused to grant a peremptory mandamus com polling the board of inspectors in the First district of the Second ward of Ithaca to recanvass the election ma chine returns so as to make them agree with the machine figures given on Nov. 24 which would elect George R. Miller, the Democratic candidate for mayor, by seven votes.
 According to the official canvass tue vote for mayor of Ithaca was tie; but, there being an alleged error in read ing the machine in the First district of the Third ward, it was opened upon an order from the supreme court, and Miller thus received seven additional votes. The Republicans alleged that the machine had been tempered with in the interval. As the matter cannot now be determined before the next sitting of the supreme court on March 30, Will liam E. Gunderman, the present Repub- .ican mayor. will hold over.

CAPEWELL TROUBLE ENDED.
Mir Gompers's Decision Satisfactory to
 All Concerned

NIT OOmpeIS DeclSlUu CdLISldClOIy lO
 All Concerned
 Hartford, Dec 11.-Al1 the matters at issue among the members of the As sorters' and Packers union and the resulting trouble at the factory of the Capewell Horse Nail Go have been set ted in accordance with the decision of President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor There was conference at the factory yester- day afternoon of the officers of the company, representatives of the Assoft- CTS and Packers union, and General Organizer Tracy of Boston, represent ing MT GOmpers. At this conference the full text of Mir Gompers's com munication to Secretary Elizabeth Lynch of the union was submitted and made the basis of the conference the officers of the company having asked at the conference Monday to see It. No one had any objection to MT Gompers's recommendations.
 In accordance with these the girls now at work at the factory will be re- admitted to the union, from which they were expelled by the members who re- mained out. All the others, so far as they desire, will be taken back to work, and it was agreed that they must apply on or before Monday morning. This would have been a satisfactory settle ment to the company at any time. The officers objected. however, to the re- quest of the girls who remained out that those who had returned to work be discharged. The decision of MT Gompers makes this unnecessary and these girls are to be taken into the union again. The union will have special meeting tomorrow night for that purpose, and with that act the in- cident will be officially closed and har- mony will be restored. General Organ izer Tracy will address the meeting of the girls tomorrow night.

: SOCIALIST VOTE.
Total of 2tsoo Rolled in 9 Massa-

Total of 2I,S00 Polled III ZZ MasSa-
 chusetts Cities.
 Boston, Dec 1.-The results of the elections in 19 Massachusetts cities show that the socialists boiled total of 10,369 votes. These figures. ad- ded to the vote thrown in elections of last week brings the total in 32 out of 33 cities in Massachusetts up to 21,- 800. Although this is falling off of about 1,7OO votes from the total cast for the socialist party candidate for governor last month, it is still well up to 10 per cent of the total vote for all the leading candidates in the cities.
 The showing of the socialists Tues day was not as good as that of a week ago, when the party won a mayor in Brockton and lost another in Haverhill by close margin of 14 votes. The vote in Lynn was disappointing, falling to less than per cent of the total al though this was supposed to be a so- ciaist stronghold. But in Maiden it rose tc 12 per cent and to IS per cent in Chelsea.
 The socialistic vote in Boston held about the same as that in the state election, little above 9 per cent.

Mysterious Finding of 8 New
 York Newsboy.
COSTLY MUFFLER ABOUT NECK.

Lacerated Wound in Cheek Looked
 Like an Animal Bite Boy Had
 Few, Pennies and Some Car Tickets
 in His Pockets Detectives are Now
 Making an Investigation.
 New York, Dec 11-Mystery sur rounds the death of a boy about To yeaps old, whose body was found by a policeman lying at one side of the bridle path in Central park, near Eff ty-fifth street, and opposite the work shop of the department of parks.
 One peculiar feature of the case IS that a costly silk muller was founo tied about the boys neck. On the right side of his face there was lacer- ated wound in the jaw, which bore I resemblance to the bite of some ani- nal, the mark of a long tooth being visible in it's center. On the right side of the. little fellows neck were seven dark bluish marks and three others on the left side.
 Owing to the different opinions ex- pressed by Coroner Scholer and an am bulance surgeon regarding the wounds, whose nature seemed to perplex them, the police are mystified and detectives are making an investigation.
 Lying on his back, the boy's head rested on a bundle of newspapers. He was to all appearances a newsboy, poorly clad and in poor physical con dition. In his pockets were found 2l pennies and three street car transfers. The ambulance surgeon who examined the body said the cause of the boys death could only be decided by an au- topsy, as he did not think the wounds eould have caused it.

Both steamers, which, according to the peace treaty, are now the property of the gov ernment, saluted the land forts. Over 1000 men who participated for or against the government in the revolu- ton, including several generals and ofIi- cers of high rank, have arrived here. Much enthusiasm is shown in all cir eIes, for every one here is convinced now that the war is really at an end.

CROWDS STRUGGLE FOR COAL.
Strange and PitifuI Sights About
 New York Coalyards.

Strange and PitifuI Sights About
 New York ConIyards.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-In and about the coalyards of this city yesterday there were enacted scenes unique in the history of New York. It is true that the weather had moderated somewhat from the day before, but the little supply of fuel that families particularly on the east side, had been able to secure on Tuesday had generally been exhausted Yesterday the people were seeking more coal, and there was very little to be had anywhere.
 The experience of Alfred Barber's Sons of BIT Water street was perhaps the most striking. This firms yards were besieged by people seeking small quantities of coal from early morning until late last night At o'clock yes terday afternoon there Was a line of women and children two blocks long awaiting their turn to buy ticket good for a.little pail of coal.
 The police had to be called to keep the crowds in order at many yards. At Rarbers' ten patrolmen were on duty all the afternoon, the number having been increased from eight in the morn ing. Even these had great difficulty in keeping the crowds ill order One of the policemen said that the people would not listen to reason and that the mo- ment the policemen turned their backs the line would break up After taking ones place in line it required about two hours of slow trudging and waiting be fore the coveted thirty pounds of fuel could be purchased.
 One dealer said that the people were so desperate that if the weather had been as cold as it was on Tuesday he would not have dared to allow one of his coal wagons to go out on the streets. He said the people would inevitably have attacked the wagon and taken possession of the coal.

 Not alone in Brooklyn but in all the boroughs of the city there is loudm and insistent cry for relief, and the presidents of the other bOrOughs agree that something must be done, ase the city has been held fast by the cold wave for more than a week, and suf- fering has hourly increased. Men, women and children have died. Heads of families have offered money for coal, and the dealers have shaken their heads and said, "there is not a pound of coal in the yards though nearly 6O.OOO tons of coal are arriving daily in New York. Mayor Low re- fused to be interviewed on the sub- ject. His secretary, James B. Rey- holds, spoke for him, and said .as no notice of any suffering had been brought to the mayors attention by private citizens, he does not feel com pelled to do anything just now,
