none is exempt from them; wherefore we may

The incident will probably appeal TO the

month of August to the value of s94 $50 17e a.,

but decrease Of S13,342 O31 from the move

Of any preceding August These figures are of
special significance just now, since the balance

REFUSE LAKETO VANDERBILT
TO SELL ITS RIGHTS To HIM
NOR ANY ONE ELSE

North Hampstead. Long Island. Sept 16.-The
voters of this town at a special election called
to upon several propositions to-day voted
not sell the town rights in Lake Success to
William X Vanderbilt, jr and. far that
is concerned not sell it to any a big
was pOlled throughout the town.
There three important questions pre-
scented to the voters to pass upon The first was
whether the town should sell to Mr.. Van
derbt for the fiat sum of $4,000. On this the
vote stood 134 in the affirmative and 1SS in the
negative.
The alternative proposition was to sell the
town rights in the lake to the highest bidder.
the upset price to be, $4,000. This vote showed
that many who did not favor selling to Mr..
Vanderbilt were willing to sell for a higher
price. but there were not enough of these to or
der the lake rights sold. The proposition was
defeated by majority of 215. The vote was
$50 in favor of selling and $40 against.
The third important question was whether Or
not the town board might grant trolley rights
along various streets and highways. On this
the voters took favorable view, and the troll
ley advocates carried the day by no The vote
was 800 in favor of trolley roads and 349
against.
There several other questions on the
ticket. but they based upon the assump-
ton that the town was to receive S0o,ooo from
the sale OF the lake rights. The defeat of the
lake sale rendered them imperative.

AND DEVERY WON.

The tocsin and the hewgag, the cymoais ana
the battle axe, the tomahawk and the stlletto
were working overtime at the Democratic prl-
naries yesterday. Amid the noise of the cap
tains and the shouting, the tumult and the din
of warfare which resounded with far reaching
reverberations and remote echoes in the famous
Nth District and elsewhere in town. beneath
the battles roar, plaintiye walls were family
heard at polling places not few. as keen edged
knives with penetrating points were deftly thrust
through many a mdriff or adroitly inserted in
the recesses- between the ribs.
It was a Corscan vendetta among our Demo
cratic leaders of political feuds; and as the
knives We're forced home the hapless victims
gasped with failing breath, and with every ut
terance made indstinct by means and sobs,
Call you this backing of your friends" Abners
and Absaloms and Joabs were alike discounted
1t was a day of Democratic wailing and lam
entation. of reproaches and distress. of wounds
and cries OF pain: but toward midnight the roar
of triumph rose around the Pump and drowned
all other noises for Devery had won.

fcult to find nor do they show the effects of
unfavorable incidents, indicate unsound bust
ness conditions, aside from the temporary handi-
cap of fuel and corn shortages. The latter
trouble will soon be removed by crop ar
rivals but the former difficulty is I'M
certain. as it depends upon the resumption OF
anthracite coal mining and the end of freight
traffic congestion in the coke region.
AS exports of staple products alone were
S16914!25 smaller in value than year ago,
it follows that there expansion of
S3572694 in shipments of manufactured ar
ticles Changes were most striking in bread
stuffs an increase of S6,l6O.6o3 appearing IN
cornpa rison with July exports, but a decrease OF
50 6SS 1893 compared with August l9Ol. Inc
bulk of this loss was In wheat alone, which was
shipped much more hea lily thar in ordinary
years; but comparison is made with the largest
EXPORTS for anv month in the ration's history.
The decrease exceeded ten million bushels IN
quantity and fell little short of SS.000OO0 in
value While August of last year was mem
orable for large exports of wheat August 1902,
will he remembered as the low record of recent
wears in shipments of corn only 29O,932 bush
els going out Of the country. This is about 10
per cent of the movement year ago. and
scarcely more than 1 per cent of the outgo in
August 1899. Scarcity of corn also accounts
for the loss of S5,65O,O00 in value of meat ex-
ported as prices were almost prohibitive for
customers abroad.
Cotton began to move more freely toward the
latter part of August and. although there was
a moderate decrease for the month, there is al
ready practical assurance of a material gain
for September. Total shipments for the crop
wear showed an increase of 1882 bales as to
ouantitv. compared with the preceding twelve
months but owing to decline of one cent a
pound in average price there was an actual
loss of S33 53377 .39 in value. The price level in
the preceding year abnormal as exports of
Of-'O2 exceeded In value those of the three
earlier years. when shipments were much larger
in quantity The crop year just opened
promises a liberal outgo. and there is also pros
pect of we'll sustained prices. For the current
month. however. trade balances will be affected
by the adverse factors of heavily increased re-
ceipts of iron and steel, and also considerable
volume of COAL which will be still heavier in
October, as many contracts do not call for de
Iiveries until the latter part of next month.
