BROOKLYN.

That the voters in Manhattan and The
Bronx were kept from registering by the
rain on the first two days is shown plainly
enough. The fusion leaders are satisfied
that whatever apathy there was is going
fast
Taking the first two days as an aver
age which tho fusion people now declare
couldn't have been a normal average
only 90 500 or so voters ought to have reg
istered in Manhattan and The Bronx yes
terday. As a matter Of fact about lO3, 900
were registered in those boroughs.
Brooklyn did fully as well. But the
fusion leaders, who assert that all OF this
s in their favor, declare that the registra-
ton must keep piing up to-day, az every
vote is needed TO beat Tammany.

A gkinned Fox nItc..

A story is being told in Bangor, Me-, to show the great vitality of the fox. Tn the town of Lubec one night party of three men were chasing chicken thief that had a den near the village. The dogs started the fox and drove him past one of the hunters, when a quick shot seemed to have killed the animal. All hands came up, and the man who did the shooting began to skin the fox. The skin had been re- moved up to the shoulders, when the animals jaws suddenly opened and then closed with a vicious snap on the hand of the hunter. With hunting knife the fox's jaws were pried apart and the bleeding hand was released. It bore the teeth marks, which the hunter will always carry as evidence of what Maine fox can do when sup posedly dead and more than half skinned.-Albany Argus.

 Then he pulled up hds trouser legs at the knees and knelt carefully upon the freshly brushed spot.

4 The Hundred Million Scheme to Be
 Aired at Albany.
 ALBANY, March 0.-The Davis-Bost- wick canal bill is likely to be taken up in earnest during the coming week psf- haps in both houses. The report of State Engineer Bond to the effect that the estimate of cost of the thousand ton barge canal, including enlargement of the Champlain canal to Whitehall, should be increased from SS2, ,O0O, GOO to nearly $1O1, ,0O0, ,000 has been accepted in good faith by the canal committees of both houses, and the bill, amended to this effect and In some minor parttc. ulars, is likely to be reported in identi- cal form to both houses. The problem now under consideration is the ques- ton of what rate of interest the bonds shall bear. x
 The main fight on the bill will be made and perhaps its fate decided in the senate in committee of the whole. It is expected that there will be strong opposition, though who will be its leader has not been decided. In the assembly the opposition will probably be led by Assembiymen Rodgers and Burnett, and tt-is known that Speaker Nixon is not in sympathy with the ca- nal enlargement proposition. In both houses party lines will be broken up on the question. But the friends of the project profess themselves very confi- dent of victory and that Governor Odell will sign the bill when it reaches him.
 The tax bills known as the govern or's will probably come in for goodly share of attention this week.

TO HONOR BEECHER
Mass Meeting Tn Brooklyn to
 Raise Funds.
MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS PLEDGED

Plan to Ereot Memorial to Founder of Plymouth Church Meets a Hearty Response -~ Addresses l by Cleveland and Brewer. NEW YORK, March o.-A great mass meeting was held in the Academy of Music in Brooklyn last night for the purpose of raising funds to erect a me- morial in honor of Henry Ward Beech CT, the founder of Plymouth church and for forty years its pastor. Many hundreds who were turned away from the doors gathered at an overflow meet ing in Plymouth church. Mayor Seth Low presided, and among the prominent persons who paid trib- ute to the memory of the great preach ST were former President Grover Cleve- land, Justice D. J. Brewer of the Unit ed States supreme court, the Rev. New ell Dwight Hilhs of Plymouth church and the Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus of Chicago.
 The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. pr. Reese of Macon, Ga, and the Rev. pr. Dickey of the Ameri- l can church in Berlin. Favorite hymns were rendered by the Plymouth choir.
 Dr. Gunsaulus, who followed Dr. Hil- lis, said in part:
 1T bring the heartiest concurrence of the middle west in this movement for memorial to MT. Beecher. They re- Joice that Henry Ward Bescher be- longed to no east or west, but to all the people. I saw him once out west, and he said, There is something out here that wfdens and strengthens and deep ems me- We believe in him in the west as an immortal son of God.
 "It is the west of John Brown that stood shudderingly before the curse and blight of slavery that stretches its warm hand to you tonight and says let us get to work and build this memorial to MT. Beecher. All nature must open before this shrine, because it was he that gave us impulse toward the study of nature. MT. Beecher's sermons car ried all the sweet incense of the sanc- tuary. Let us make this memorial & continuous sermon.
 "Mr. Beecher's political notions had such root in religious ideals that they can never fade away. This tomb will be at once a hope and history. Here at this shrine civil liberty will be ever perpetuated."
 At the conclusion of the addresses a subscription for the Beecher memorial fund was started by Mrs. w. c. Wal lace with contribution of $10O0O. Other contributors were Henry w. Phipps, $1,000; Dr. Rossiter W. Ray mond, $2.5o0, and John Arbuckle, S5,- OoOs The total amount of the subscrip- tions was about $25, ,O0O.

 GLHNS FALLS, N. Y, March 9.-- But two bodies of the victims of the Spiers Falls tragedy of Saturday have been recovered, those of Fred Ferron and Pasquale Caferelli. A gang of trained river men are searching the river below the dam and are breaking up ice and log jams. This work will be kept up as long as there is any hope.
 Two of the sixteen men not account ed for have turned up, and the latest information given out by the officials of the company fixes the number of dead and missing at seventeen. Many of the Italians employed on the works have left their jobs, and stampede Is feared. A heavy rain has again fallen, and the river is rising. The gorge at the Glen, which for weeks has been menace to property, has be- come so honeycombed that channel has been worn through the center. A temporary bridge laid across the ice at this point was washed away.
 The accident was caused by the cap. sizing of ferryboat which is oper- ated by stout cable extending from shore to shore. A crowd composed of fellow workmen of the victims wit messed the disaster.
 It Is understood that there were moro than sixty men in the boat.

EVANSVILLE AFFAIR INVESTIGATED.
DMcfaI Report of Chris Evans to the United Mine Workers Puts
 the West Virginia OniciaIs Tn n Rad T.iwLf.

A
 INDIANAPOLIS March e.--The ofh- cial report of Chris Evans, who was sent to the West Virginia coalfields to investigate the killing of the colored miners at Atkinsville, has been re- ceived at the headquarters of the Unit ed Mine Workers.
 The report says that General St. Clair, the attorney for the coal compa- nies, created an agitation to have the men arrested and taken to Charleston and that immediately afterward ar engagements were made with the Unit cd States marshal by the mine work ers' officials to give bond for all who were arrested, but that later, on ac- count of the agitation created by Dep uty Marshal Cunningham, the agree ment with the marshal was broken, and Cunningham was sent to arrest the men.
 According to the report, there was great feeling against Cunningham, and the men decided not to allow him to arrest them, and he was driven away. MT. Evans says that he sent tele- gram to the men to submit quietly, but that the coal companies, who own all the telegraph and telephone lines into the town, refused to deliver 1t, and be- fore, he could get any message to the men Cunningham and his deputies. who, he says, were the worst charac- ters he could collect, went to the town a second time and killed the miners in their beds at night
 +hot hn xyanf tn Tho scene of the trouble the ne1 morning and that forty eight men had been ar rested for conspiracy to kill Cunning ham. He found in house occupied by a colored man called "Stonewalp Jack son the dead bodies of William Dod- son, William Clark and Richard Clay ton, all negroes. The report continues:
 eve found that the wife of Jackson and her four children, with eight ne- groes, were in the house and that about daybreak all were awakened by shots fired into the house from the outside. This shooting took place without warn ing, and the three colored men were found dead on the floor.
 "We next went to the house of Lu- cien Lawson, who was considered mor- tally wounded. I understand that after the shooting referred to this man, with others, returned the fire of the posse, and this is the only instance where any attempt at resistance was made by the miners.
 MT. Evans says that the coroner's jury has returned verdict of felonious killing against Cunningham for the killing of William Dodson.
