now stands at 233, or % less than the
plurality given him by the canvassins
board. Inasmuch as it was conceded
at the first that Mayor Haynes would
gain 40 votes in the Sixth precinct of
the Fourth ward, the result of re-
count is equal to a gain of II votes
for Alderman Jones. In the matter OF
correct returns the Sixth ward heads
the list and the Ninth ward is a good
second. The Thirteenth ward, which
is a district where correct returns
would be expected more than in tho
others, had mistakes in every precinc
and in one bad error in the return;
was discovered. In the Sixth ward
which is one of the labor wards, ter
of the twelve precincts sent absolutel!
correct returns. The Ninth ward hat
eight out of eleven perfect returns.

piece Of the A. q. Merrill and Bruno
properties. Archbishop Ireland ha
the option on the property for fort!
five days, and for a time it wa
thought that it would not be purcha

Stephens parish. 1t was though
however, that when the structure we
completed, the center of populate
would have so changed as to make tt
location an ideal one for the new hou:
of worship. Two sites for the pr
cathedral had been purchased, one
Mary place and the other the Wilse
property on Hawthorn avenue, b
both were disposed Of because the
were too small. Ground will be bro
