ODELL'S POPULIST PETITION.
II IL Losing Votes for His Grocery Ticket
In Glets Falls.

GLENs FALLS, n. Y, Oct 49, The nomi-
mating petition in the Populist State ticket
from this county was peculiarly prepared,
and as its personnel has become known
It has excited the derision OF both parties.
An investigation has disclosed how 1t was
prepared.
Last month Jay Forest, chairman Of the
Populist State committee came to Glens
Falls amply supplied with funds. With a
notary he made the rounds of the saloons
in the West End and after buying the drinks
for the hangers-on, it was easy to secure
their signatures to any kind OF paper.
or the 30 signatures 80 have been cam
vassed az Republicans, q IA Democrats,
Populist. and the remainder are hosters
pure and simple. OF the bunch 2S have
been defendants in the village police court,
one was recently discharged from the
Clinton State Prison and is not voter,
one lives outside OF the county and one
gave a fictitious name. without exception
all are saloonkeepers. bartenders or saloon
hangers-on.
The few Odell followers in town are not
proud OF their new allies. and because OF this
action here more votes will be driven away
from the Odell ticket than the Democrats
will lose to the Populists.
Sentinel contains the following with refer
ence to the names OF many prominent
oidzens Of this city on the Populist petition
as mentioned In to-day's SUN:
Organization Republicans who signed the
nominating petition OF the Populists have
declared that they took no oath to support
the nominee OF the Populist party when the
paper. was presented 10 them to sign. and
doubtless none Of them had any intention of
voting for the candidates for whose nomina-
ton they were presumably instructed by
the Republican managers to ask: yet their
ignorance or wilful perversion Of the pnr-
poses OF the law governing independent
nominations does not apply to, the ofncial
who administered the oaths and subscribed
to each and every sheet Each subscriber
to the petition who should fail to vote the
Populst ticket after agreeing to do 40 under
oath rs the law requires. would stultfy him
self in fact, perjure himself We do not
believe that of the 100 signers to the petition.
there are oyer two who propose to vote the
Populist ticket. We do not believe that the
intelligent signers. when approached to lend
their names to advance this scurvy Odeli
trick. gave the matter as careful a considera-
tiou as it should have received by them,
We refrain from Publishing the list this
morning because We were told Yesterday
by many of the signers that they propose
to ~ once appeal 10 the Secretary OF state
for the withdrawal OF their names from the
petition. Not only in Mont gOmery county
scheme been worked by the Odell-Higgius
machine. and now that the subscribers to
such petitions have become nlive to the fact
that they nave been duped by unscrnpulous
leaders. their ind gDatiou is aroused and
the Secretary of states ONCE il dcatin ed
to become brseged with prayers for the with
drawIl OF such petitions.

A despatch from Mukden says that at the
critical moment last Friday Gen. Kuropat-
KIN, regardless OF the Japanese artillery fire.
10 which he was dangerously exposed, rode
10 the front OF his troops and addressed
them, saying:
Il salute you, my brave fellows. know
you are weary and that you have not eaten
or slept, but we must all serve the Car and
country as best we can"
The troops cheered their commander-n-
chief enthusiastically Two regiments
rushed forward and disodged the Japanese
at the point OF the bsyonet.
During the fighting on Thursday Gen.
Rialinkin was fatally wounded and Gen.

Meat Concerns Let Out OF C0n,m,lnics ton
With the Railr0ad.

The first prac III al steps toward the re-
moval OF the grade crossings at Broad
and Plane streets. Newark We're made
at an early hour yesterday morning
When the Lackawarna Railroad elevated
its tracks over these streets last winter
it was enjoined by the beef combination
from removing the tracks and switches
which supply the establishments Of Swift
II Co., Armour Co. and Nelson Morris
4 Co. The matter was carried to the Court
of Appeals and resulted in a victory for
the railroad company and the city Of New
ark.
Ten days were given for the removal Of
the tracks and switches from Morris and
ESSEX Railroad avenue. and after O'Clock
yesterday morning the empty meat cars
were pulled away from the big cooling
establishments by drill engine and then
the gates protecting the crossings were
removed This was preliminary to ripping
up the rails, and the railroad officials said
that this would be accomplished to-day.
The combined meat interests intend to
hold the railroad company to the contract
to deliver meat to the coolers. Last year,
after it was generally believed that the
tracks must go. the beef interests erected
a costly establishment for storage and sale
OF meat at the corner OF Plane street and
Morris and Essex avenue and IL IL occupied
by the branch Of the Nelson Morris COM
pany, which had no place on the line in
Newark before
All Newark rejoices over the elevation
Of the tracks over Broad street. as this was
regarded as one of the most dangerous
grade crossings in this country, express
trains goingthrough ut full speed and nearly
400 trains passing over IL daily.

CASSINI CALLS ON SECY HAY
Informal Discussion OF the seizure OF
American Mails by the Russians.

American Mails by the Russians.
WASHINGTON, Oct I8.-Count Cassini,
the Russian Ambassador, who returned
to Washington yesterday. called on Secre-
tary Hay this afternoon to pay his respects.
Count Cassini also expressed to Secretary
Hay his entire satisfaction with the outcome
Of the Lena affair and spoke in congratuls-
tory terms Of the course pursued by the
American Government in bringing the
matter to conclusion.
There was an informal discussion by the
Ambassador and the Secretary OF the
seizure cases which are now at issue be-
tween the Russian and United States gov
ernments, and from what was said during
the conference it il not improbable that
the Cachas case, in which this Government
IN vitality interested because OF the fact
that official mail was on board that steamer
when size was seized by the Russian naval
forces, will be taken up by the Russian
Ambassador in short time In the other
matters connected with the seizure cases
the regular course Of diplomatic procedure
will probably be pursued.
As result OF the conference the guard
of Secret Service operatives which accom-
panied Count Cassini from Bar Harbor
will be maintained on duty at the Russian
Embassy until further notice, probably
until the end Of the Russian-Japanese
war. While Count Cassni personally is
not apprehensive Of harm from anarchistic
or fanatical sources, the officers OF the Wash
ington Government are DESTROYS OF taking
all the precautionary measures possible
to prevent such calamity, The Am

HORSE NECK BRIDGE SINKING.
New Iron Glrders Thought 10 BE Tso
Heavy FOR the Old Piers.

Heavy Tor the Ol0 Plers
PINK BROOK, N j.. Oct. 1e,-Apprehension
is felt that the old piers on which the new
iron bridge is built over the Passaic River at
Horse Neck will give way under the great
weight. The Dover Boiler Works have
completed their contract and the bridge
was opened to the public yesterday. This
iron bridge replaces the old wooden bridge
washed away by the food last spring.
The new structure consists Of great iron
girders placed on the piers and abutments
That carried the old wooden bridge.
There are five spans OF fifty feet each.
The piers were built on wooden cribbing
about forty-fve years ago. and when the
water il very low the cribbing lie exposed
and thus subject to the decaying action of
the air
The pien werepronounced strong enough
for the new bridge, but now that the work
is completed the piers are beginning to
sink One Of them has already sunk about
sight inches, and men are now at work
blocking up the girders in order to make
the bridge floor level. This bridge Ia a
great convenience to the farmers OF Clinton
and Lower Montville. as the nearest bridges
are three miles scout h and four miles north
The expense OF the bridge falls on Morris
and Essex counties. and the contract was
given by a joint committee Of Freebooter
OF both counties.

$3.50 RUSSIAN DEAD COUNTED.
Japanese Think Enemy's Casualties Will
Reach $4,000.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SuS.


Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SuS
TOXIC, Oct. 1e-Thus far $3.50 Russian
dead have been counted on the field and
1t Is estimated that the total casualties OF
the enemy will amount to $4,000
From intelligence received from reliable
sources it appears that the principal object
Of Field Marshal Oyama's tactics was to
separate the Russian army and conse-
ouently an extremely heavy attack was
delivered by the Japanese centre, with the
result that the enemy attempting to stand
against this portion OF the line was almost
annihiated When the Russians began
their retreat those who had been facing
the Japanese centre retreated in the direc-
ton of Fushan, while those on the left
retreated toward Mukden.
1t is believed that Gen. kuropatkin per-
sonally commanded three divisions that oc-
oIpied position near Koshintai. fifteen
miles due east OF Yentai, and facing the
Japanese centre.
The Joy caused by the news of the great
victory, eclipsing those won by the Japan
eee arms earlier in the war, is largely over
Swallowed by a realization Of the awful cost
at which it was bought. The idea OF sixty
or seventy thousand men being slaughtered
or manned in the weeks ferocious struggle
takes the edge of the triumph.
There is a strong appeal for peace in
the hearts of the people There are no
shouts Of triumph in the streets. Few
flags are flying, and although the ultimate
official announcement that the enemy is
beaten may be followed by lantern pro-
cessions, there is to-day a strong ie eling
against any demonstration.
WARRINGTON, oct 16.-The following
despatch received at the Japanese Legation
to-day from Toxic gives partial statistics Ga
TO the Russian mortality in the battles
south OF Mukden:
Marshall Oyama reports that number
Of the Russians found dead afield in front
of our right army on the 10Th amounted
to 4, 500, besides many noresyet unaooounted
for, and 100 new prisoners. The estimated
total husSldn iosses III this quatVof osoho
exceeds 10000. The Russian losses in 'front.'
Of our central and left armies are being
Investigated"
A later despatch says:
"The number Of the Russian corpses
buried by US previously reported as amount
ing to 1000 refers to the quarter Of our left
army!alone. Oyamas further report esti-
mates the Russian corpses LETT a6eld in
front OF our central army at $500. The
total Russian corpses so far ascertained,
reach $3.50.
THE above does not include the result
of the fierce engagements with our left
army on Friday and Saturday. and many
more yet undiscovered in all quarters

TO COMPLETE TROLLEY
ROAD THROUGH Staff,

The Trenton Terminal Railway
Company has succeeded in effecting
an amicable agreement with Joseph
Fl. Mayer for the use of the lands that
are. needed to join the tracks of the
Camden and Trenton ana Trenton and
New Brunswick trolley lines.
Between 81, 500 and 81, 700 were paid
for the strip of ground. This Joining
of the two systems will. when COM
pleted, form o continuous traction
route between the cities of Philadel-
phia and New York.
The private agreement with Mr.,
Mayer takes the case from the COM
missioners ~reappointed by Justice
Swayze. BY the new arrangement the
trolley company gets possession at
once of a line more direct than that
which it originally sought to CON
denim.
1t is thought the work Of bringing
the two lines together will consume
not more than two or three weeks,
after the weather becomes moro
moderate.

U LAZINESS.
shown by People who VIII Not Stor
to Think of the Exact Word
Needed

The laziness of all laziness is the prac-
tice of coming unnecessary new words.
1t might have bsen supposed that, when
there is already in existence a word
which exactly denotes the idea to be
expressed, it would be easier to fall
back upon this word than to invent an
other, says H. w. Horwill, in the Critic.
In fact, however, it often requires less
effort to construct a linguistic mon
strosity than to find the term that has
been consecrated by good usage. Tai e.
for instance, such words as "extinguis2-
ment," "revealment," "withdrawment,
development" "denotement' and
"startlement." 1t is not difficult to trace
the mental process. The word "extin-
guish" was in the speakers mind. He
wanted a noun, and to stick "ment' on
to the verb was an eXpedient nearer to
hand than the search for extinction.
Occasionally the quick change is from
the noun to the verb. When a man says
ito administrate,' we may be sure that
ne first thought of administration,
and that h. was then in too great a hurry
to notice that the analogy with such
pairs as celebrate" and "cels bration''
would mislead him. If one were making
a collection of linguistic curios ore
might add to it such exhibits as "propel-
lation," 'affirmance," "clientage,'
''reminiscential," "movelsss,' 'tradi-
tionary," "leisuristic," 'unsympathy'
and "~bishoply." In the mind of the of.
fender there seems almost to be Turk.
ing a kind Of predatory false analogy
which grabs at his expressions and dis
torts them before he can help himself.
Is it too late to purify our speech
from these mischievous tendencies, OF
must we be content to see a great Ian
guage turned into shoddy? Certainly
the effectiveness of English as an organ
of thought is weakened by the careless
use of its vocabulary. The creation o
redundant words really adds nothing t.
the resources of a tongue, and the over
working of some words, combined will
the underwriting of others, means
actual poverishment. Only a pedan
would object to the gradual expansion
of the dictionary by means of the adop
ton of new idioms and terms WheI
our ancient metaphors have lost theil
edge, we may be pardoned if we turf
even to colloquialisms for pointed ex
pressions to take their place. But Their,
is no progress through confusion.
