The New York Herald, which has
for the past twelve years successfully
predicted the result of the elections.
has the following to say regarding
the outcome of the present election:
Before the reunited Democratic
party as it ST. les itself, can hope for
the aid of the independent voters it
must show that it has cast mounte-
banks to the wind, that it has thrown
overheard leaders whom the public
distrusts and that it is in the hands
of men worthy of confidence and
support.
at is because of their fear of such
men as Hill, Sheehan, Taggart, Bryan
August Belmont and German, that
many independent voters have refus-
ed to support the Democratic ticket
this year that is the element of the
independent voters who would like
under conditions to cast their votes
for Parker. AT the outset of the ma
tional cempaign five great New York
dailies pledged their support in his eff
fort to reunite the Democratic party
and lead its hosts to victory. So
pleased were these papers that the
Democrats had dropped free silver
and had turned to more material
issues that they looked ahead and
saw bright prospects for the new
Democratic Moses.
To-day not one of them e%ntertains
the slightest hope of Democratic sup
remacy at the coming election. The
Herald has announced its belief that
Roosevelt will be elected. The
Times, World, Post and Brooklyn
Eagle have written it between the
lines of their editorials that Democratic
success is not to he attained, that
Parker is leading "A lost cause.
1t is the opinion of every IL of the
papers named that if the campaign
now closing had been conducted diff
erently, if the Democrats under an
aggressive leader had made "a bold
raid on the Republicans, had dwell
upon live issues and put aside the cry
of imperialism and the cry of extrava.
gance, that the result might have been
different.
chairman Taggart is regarded AZ
IA weak leader, u poor manager in a ma
tional compaign. When the cam
paign is over and the votes have been
counted a great deal of the blame foI
Parker's defeat will be heaped upon
the Democratic national chairman
but it is the opinion of the New York
papers that Judge Parker is as much
to blame a. Chairman Taggart. Par.
ker has not net expectations. He has
not lived up to the reputation he
gained by his gold telegram. He
has been "a disappointment to his
party.

VorE the ticket straight. 1t is "A
fact that nearly all the scratching
of tickets at the polls is done by re
publicans, the democrats as a rule
voting their tickets straight. Why not
the republicans Stand pat for your
party, for it has "a record of which We
can well feel proud.

water on burning oil. The building is
surrounded by others of the Plant, and
close by were eight tanks each containing
5000 gallons of oil. These We're all

The plant is located near the tracks of

burned for hours.

BIG BARN DANCE
Companions of the Forest

Crowded Elks' Hall
Last Night.

Elks' Hall was simply crowded to
suffocation last night during the barn
dance held under the auspices of the
Companions of the Forest of America.
Despite the decorations and the country
costumes, the scene was little like a
country gathering in either barnyard
or forest. There were so many people
there one couldn't see the decorations
or even the hayseed costumes, except a
sea of straw hats. Not until the crowd
thinned out could dancing be enjoyed
with any degree of comfort, and as for
the grand march, as well might well

in such a crowd as surges about the

MARRY CARROLLS SAD STORY


The arraignment of James J. Thorn
ton, formerly Of No. II Mill Road, on
complaint of Mary Carroll, of No. 40
Essex street, in the First Criminal Court
this morning developed pathetic story
in which a warrant was issued one day
late.
Nearly four years ago Thornton wooed
and won the affections Of the complain
ant. then pretty eighteen-year-old girl.
The bans of their marriage had been pub
lished in one Of the local Catholic church
es the required number of times and the
bride-to-be was happily arranging for the
wedding when suddenly Thornton disap-
peared. Miss Carroll received a letter
from him in which he stated that he had
enlisted in the army for servic in the
Philippines and was on his way thither-
He gave some sort of excuse which was
accepted By the deserted bride-to1be and
correspondence was kept up between the
two during ali of the three years that
Thornton was in the Philippines. These
letters invariably began with Dear
Wife, and were filled with other en-
.dearing epithets. events Of his life as
soldier and promises that tended to dispeI.
the doubts of the deserted young woman.
Ii was argued that in the sighf Of God
and man, and practically in the eye Of
the church that they were married and
Miss Carroll called herself Mrs. Thorn
ton.
On March %. 1901, little baby girl
was born to her. She toiled for its sup
port and that of herself and eagerly
counted the days when young Thornton
would return. His term of enlistment ex-
pired recently and he came home, but
not as the fond lover Of the young
woman who had so patiently awaited
him. He practically ignored her. and be-
gan paying attentions to Miss Annie Kel-
", Forty-sixth street and Girard avenue,
New York. On Sunday Miss Carroll
heard that Thornton was to marry Miss
Kelly on Wednesday Tomorrow She
Immediately hastened to Chief of Police
Murphy told her story and asked advice.
Thornton's arrest followed. When he
was arraigned in court this morning Miss
Carroll was not present. but the young
Kelly woman was and was shown that
she and Thornton had been married on
Sunday last
The case was laid over until tomorrow
morning at Thornton's request. He said
he desired to procure counsel. His wife
was busy this morning trying to secure
bail. She said she was disappointed at
the cloud that came over her honeymoon.
but believed that all would come out
right in the end.
