NEW YURK ELECTION FNAUOS.
Superintendent McCullagh Submits Re
port Of Vote in 1902.

ALBANY, January 23.-The annual report
Of John McCullagh. the state superintend-
ent Of elections for the metropolitan cleo
tions district, states that the primary cleo
tion of 1902 in New York city was remark
able for the widespread frauds which char
acterized it, principally In the assembly
districts in which the democratic factions
contested for supremacy. More than $40
names were stricken from the democratic
enrolment in Manhattan borough. In iGdi-
ton thereto 1900 cases of fraudulent en-
rollment and transfers were reported to the
police. OF these 1900 names less than 2G0
were attempted to be voted upon. One hun
dred and forty-eight arrests were made at
the primary, of which number twenty-five
convictions were secured. The report cites
the methods employed to prevent the opera
tions of gangs Of repeaters organized in
Hoboken, Jersey City and Philadelphia for
use in the city of New York, which meth
DDS, the report AYERS, proved effective in
preventing these gangs from operating at
the last election.
Charges of neglect of duty will be made
against >the members of the police force
who allowed persons to vote upon IL e
names of disqualified voters without caus-
ing their arrest.

Three Women Killed in a
Fire Panic.
MANY OTHERS INJURED
DISASTER IN NEW WORK CIGAR
FACTORY.
Timely Arrival of Police Saved Others
From Being Killed or
Seriously Hurt.
OTHERS INJURED

NEW YORK, January 23.-Three women
were killed and five women and one man
severely injured in a panic in Leopold Mi
ler & Sons cigar factory on Crosby street
today, as a result of fire in an adjoining
building. The dead are: Jennie Messino,
twenty-five years; Fannie Kerstberg,
twenty-five years.
The flames from the burning building
beat against the walls of the cigar factory,
causing a panic among the 500 men, wo-
men and boys at work. There was a wild
rush for the fire escapes at the front and
rear ends of the building, In which the
weaker were crushed and trampled by the
stronger. The men did not hesitate to push
the women aside, and when they reached
the second story; instead of waiting for
the ladders to be raised, pushed the women
off to the ground, about fifteen feet, and
leaped themselves. In this way many wo-
men were more or less injured. The worst
scenes, however, were on the stairways by
which crowds of the panic-stricken en-
ployes tried to escape from the building.
The men shrieked as If mad and. knocking
Police Saved Many.
At the third story there was blockade
and had it not been for the timely arrival
Of the police the death list would have been
much longer. The officers climbing over the
heads of the crowd reached the third story
and succeeded by pushing the men aside
in making a passageway for the women.
Other policemen and the fire department
soon arrived and when the building had
been cleared the bodies of the three dead
were found Mrs. Balletti, who was err
roneously reported among the killed. re-
ceived injuries which may result fatally.
The 200 employees of the New Idea Pattern
got out in safety, although several were
more or less burned Employees Of other
firms in the building left the building in
order. and then helped in rescuing the wo-
men from the cigar factory.

Examination Of Artillery Officers.

Secretary Root has ordered that In the
future all second leutenants of the Artil-
lery Corps who come up for examination
for promotion be examined in ballistics, as
was the custom prior to the passage of the
army reorganization act of February ?,
1901. Owing to the number of volunteers
and civilians who were appointed to the
Artillery Corps under the provisions Of that
act ballistics was dropped from the re-
quirements for appointment to that grade.
Secretary Root now thinks, however, that
all of the young officers appointed under the
act have had ample opportunity to prepare
themselves in that important study.

Bobbie Walthour, the Georgia boy
who holds the championship, and who
is the highest priced pace follower
and the biggest drawing card in the
business, will go against Eddie Bald,
holder of all sprint records. and one
of the fastest men in the world. This
erstwhile champion is smarting under
his defeat, by a narrow margin, in
Atlanta several nights ago and is anx-
ious for another try at Walthour.
That the man who once named his
own figures for a single exhibition is
riding in good form, is shown by the
following from one of the Atlanta pa
pers after Wednesday nights sensa-
tional ride against the Georgia boy:
Bald is still king of sprinters, for
three times he was shaken from the
terrific pace set by his nervy pace
maker, Stoney, in the motor paced race
with Walthour, and three times, by
terrific sprinting, he overhauled his
PAGER without allowing the latter TO
slow up one bit. That was nervy,
hair-raising riding.

Splinter and pacemaker, who will be

sees him. his judgment is taken as
final.
Miller is out on the road morning and
afternoon, using the electric cars as
pacemakers, taking on a fast horse,
or challenging anything else that
shows speed when he wants to sprint,
and putting in the rest of his road time
in that solid jogging work which he
thinks is the best of all hardening ex-
ercises. After his road work in the
afternoon he rests for a while, and
then does battle with his friendly old
punching leather until he gets too
strong for that, when his sparring
partner takes it's place. From four to
eight rounds he and his partner-in-
mits have it until he thinks he has
all he needs-or the partner thinks So
when he cools out with light exercise
and the aid of the Turkish bath ac-
commodations and winds up the labor
by some aquatic stunts in the SWIM
ming tank, afterwards putting himself
in the hands of the rubbers for a
time.
The two preliminaries are now as
sured. Sheehan has already signed
with Ed Durane for six rounds at 125
pounds and Young Jollie yesterday
signified his willingness to meet kid
Duffy of New Orleans at lis pounds
for eight rounds. Jollie is always in
good condition. and will Immediately
put on the finishing touches. Duffy has
been working out with Miller for the
past few days, and will be in prime
condition. 1t is very probable that
the preliminary bouts will form no
small part of the affair.
