BALLOTS OPENED.
Recount Bexu. I'm .purborow-Lori-
mer Contest in ChicaEo-Judges
Order Ignored.

Chicago, April /. = The election
board opened the ballots in the Dur
borow-Lorimer case Monday, thus ig-
noring Judge Hanecy's injunction.
One precinct was counted, and the
work will be resumed April 10, until
which time the board constructively
will be in continuous session SO as to
have police protection. Hundreds of
patrolmen guard the commissioners
rooms to prevent the removal of bal
lots should the sheriff's deputies on
court order make the attempt, but
Judge Hanecy issued no mandate,
while he refused to have test case as
to his authority in the matter prepared
for the supreme court.
Judge Hanecy has not yet been in
formed officially that the election
board disregarded his injunctional or
der and began the recount of the bal
lots and then adjourned further ac-
ton until April 10. Until he is SO in
formed he will not undertake to pun
ish the commissioners for contempt.
The judge himself offered no hint of
his disposition in the matter. One
theory is that he may issue writ di-
recting deputy sheriffs to make an
effort to break into the board quar-
ters and impound the ballots. One
hundred policemen will be on guard
to-day to resist such an attack. On
the other hand, he may cite each
commissioner and the two legal adj
visers for contempt and seek to
lodge them in Jail until release comes
through habeas corpus proceedings.
In that event an appeal to the higher
courts will be promptly taken.

Levee Breaks Opposite Louisiana
State Convict Farm, Flood
ing the Place.

New Orleans, April IA dispatch
just received says: The main levee
protecting the state convict farm
near Baton Rouge gave way Tuesday
morning at four o'clock. The entire
place will be covered with water in
a few hours. Efforts are being made
to protect the camps.
New Orleans, April 1.-"More
men and more money" is the cry
that comes from the crevasse at
Hymlia. The forces employed there
who have been working day and
night are exhausted and fresh hands
are required to press forward the
work. The Texas G. Pacific has put
on daily trains to carry laborers to
the scene. Eight hundred feet of
cribbing at one end and 200 at the
other were holding firmly at day
light and the prospect of closing the
break had frightened considerably.
The river here Tuesday registered
2O.2, fall of one-tenth of a foot in
the past "a hours. Col. Ernst, head
of the river commission, is quoted as
expressing the belief that the river
here has about reached it's maximum
if the Hymlia break continues to
run.
The report from the Pontchartrain
district is that the line of levees is
holding and that all observable weak
spots have been strengthened.

Counterfeit Elves.

The secret service today announced
the discovery of two counterfeit notes.
One is IS silver certificate, series Of
1899, poorly executed and etched in
production on thin, soft paper, no at
tempt having been made to initiate
the silk fibre of the genuine. The
other is S. national bank note, of
the Citizens International Bank of
New York. 1t bears the portrait Of
Garfield. The seal appears to be that
of sone secret order. The note bears
no signature, either of the United
States or of bank officers.

Murderer Not Proved.

Burdlck's Character Completely
vinaicated ~ Are Also Those of
Mrs.. Paine and Miss Hutchinson.

Buffalo, N. Y, April Judge
Murphy handed down his finding in the
Burdick inquest Tuesday, and declared
that the identity of the murderer had
not been proved. The statement is an
exhaustive review of the evidence
brought out during the inquest.
Special attention is given to the let
tiers exchanged between Arthur II.
Pennell and Mrs. Burdick, particularly
the one containing a threat against
Burdick's life. Concerning these the
judge says:
Altogether, these facts would, in
my opinion, constitute just ground
of suspicion on which a warrant could
be issued, were he alive"
Mrs. Halls Unexplained Conduct.
Referring to Mrs. Hull, Judge
Murphy says:
1.-THE action of Mrs. Hull on that
morning (the morning after the muir
der) and her testimony on the stand
has caused me much thought and
worry. To my mind, they are incon-
sistent, with perfect want of knowl-
edge as to what actually occurred.
So little apparent feeling for the dead
man, such an evident desire to cover
up the crime and no disposition what
ever to aid the authorities in appre-
hending the murderer may be explain
able but has not been explained"
Pennell Probably Guilty.
Speaking of Pencils relations with
Mrs Burdick Justice Murphy says:
Ills of all others was the motive
strong enough to incite a desperate
mind already stepped in wrong doing
to so foul and cruel a murder. He can
never be placed on trial, nor can his
case ever be judicially determined.
Let us be as fair, then, to the dead as
the law presumes us to be to the liv-
ing. He must be presumed innocent
until proven guilty"
BuFAiek's Character yindicated.
Continuing, Judge Murphy says:
"The theory that Burdick had q
woman guest in his den that night has
not been sustained by the evidence.
It has not disclosed single immoral
act on his part"
Are Exonerated.
Mrs. Paine and Miss Hutchinson are
completely exonerated in Judge MUIR
phys finding, which in conclusion
says:
ut is our duty to censure Mrs. Bur-
dick. But great as her wrong has
been, great is her punishment"

Faces Death to Garry Men from
Perllous Position.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-One dead,
seven not expected to live, two miss
ing and seven others so badly burned
and disfgured as to be unrecognizable,
was the terrible result of an explosion
in blast furnace 81" of the Edgar
Thomson steel plant of the Carnegie
company, at Braddock, Pa, early
Tuesday.
The name of the dead man is given
as John Smith, probably an Anglicized
form of his proper name. The others
have not yet been identified.
Names of Some of the Victims.
The names of the 12 victims as re-
corded by their numbers at the plant
are: Steven Bobon, Joseph Bobon,
Michael Steveto, George Gadok,
Michael Skunder, John Pelar, Andrew
Bcriks, Frank Sebula, j. Sebula, Jo-
seph Rubalena, Michael Miller, John
Pelar.
Cause of Disaster.
AS far as can be learned at this time
the explosion was due to supposed
defect in the electrical equipment of
the furnace.
During the night the furnace worked
unsatisfactory and about daylight a
number of men were sent to the top
to repair the trouble, which was locat-
ed at the "bleaker." AT the same time
the discovery was made that the auto
matte electrical equipment was out of
order and additional men were de-
tailed to locate the trouble. While II
men were at work either at the top or
bottom, a chang" in the furnace was
found and before the alarm could he
given there was terrific explosion
of gas and the workmen were envel.
| oped in rain of molten metal, coke
and lime. which burned the clothing
from their bodies. and rendered them
unconscious.
Heroism of Rescuing Party.
Notwithstanding the danger of a
second explosion, a party was organ
lied and the men rescued from their
perilous position. Only Is could be
found, however, and it is not known
whether the two missing were blown
into the furnace, or are wandering
about the district in semi-demented
condition.
The injured were brought to the
Homeopathic hospital in this city and
everything possible was done to re-
lieye their suffering. Up to noon they
had not been identified. A thorough
investigation of the cause of the ex-
| plosion is now in progress.
