NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The contest over

esting and spectacular features to-day.
For twelve hours the boxes containing
nearly 10000 ballots cast In last Tues

fused to receive the ballot boxes and

for Mr. Hearst appeared before Justice

secured from him an order compelling
John r. Voohies, president of the board
of elections, to accept the boxes. The
order was served promptly, and the bal
lots were then receipted for by the cleo
ton board. Under strong guards the pa
troll wagons containing the boxes were
driven to various warehouses in the city
and Brooklyn, where the ballots were
stored subject to the orders of the elec-
tion board.

drcd Thousand Will Not More
Than Cover Loss.

Fire thatlls thought to have originated
by spontaneous combustion destroyed the
large plant Of the Virginia Packing Com
pany, located just outside OF Richmond,
on the Hermitage Road, last night Two
hundred thousand dollars will. approx
Inately, cover the damage. About one
hundred and fifty-six thousand dollars
insurance was carried on the buildings,
machinery and stock.
Only the buildings used for lard re-
finery and the boiler room were saved
ON the flames. All OF the books OF
the firm were saved with the exception
OF those that were In the huge safe in
the office. It cannot be told to what ex-
tent the articles In the safe were damaged
by the fire, which swept with fury every
thing in its path. AT this time 1t is
impossible to say positively what the loss
will be. the officers OF the packing COM
pany not being familiar with the amounts
of the different insurance policies car
5ried. But 1t may be stated with GER
tainty that the insurance will go far
toward covering the loss since the boiler
room and the lard refinery building did
not burn.
The fire was discovered at Sis o'clock
by s5e OF the employees OF the establish
nlent. a rush order for sausage had
been received late In the afternoon and
Superintendent Joseph McSweeney had
kept about twenty OF the employees work
ing. When the fire was seen, the flames
were eating their way through the frame
roof that acted as ventator for the
building. The blaze started In tie room
where hogs are killed and scraped. The
opinion Of the officers OF the firm is that
he hair wet when scraped. had been
piled in heap and that spontaneous
combustion caused the flames.
Mr.. D. Rider. who is watchman at the
plant, saw the fire shortly after 1t
started and Immediately turned in an
alarm. Engine Company No. 10, from
Lombardy and Broad Streets responded.
This was the only fire-fighting appara-
tus on the. scene, and only one stream
played upon the building. The water
from this hose hardly served more than
feeder for the flames. The pressure
was very bad and the size Of the stream
OF water was small and Its force was
very weak. Only one water plug Is To-
Gated in the vicinity OF the destroyed

TRADE BROADENS.
Business Responds to Colder
Weather and Holiday Demand.
Many Manufacturers Are Unable
to Fill Orders.
PRICES ARE HIGHER.
November Railway Earnings
Show a Gain of 81 Per Cent.
Exports Decline But Imports
Increase Over a Million.
PRICES ARE HIGHER.

New York, Dec. 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Trade broadens in a healthy manner
in response to lower temperatures and
holiday demand. Staple lines Of heavy
weight wearing apparel are readily dis
tributed and the movement Of Christ
mas goods promises to add one more to
the many new high records established
by 1905. Many manufacturers in these
lines are unable to fill orders. notably
those producing jewelry. candy, tops and
novelties. Wholesale business on a scale
that promises well for next season, ship
ping departments are taxed to the ut
most and mercantile collections are sat
isfactory with a few exceptions, which
are confined principally to southern dis
tricts where cotton has not been mar
keted promptly. Prices have made
further advances, Dun's Index number
being s105,312 on December 1 against
$10S, 1858 a month previous, and the past
week has brought q still higher level.
There was nothing in the state locu-
ments to disturb confidence, industrial
activity is showing greater progress
than at any previous time, and rail
way earnings in November were 81 per
cent larger than last years. Oreign
commerce at this port for the last week
showed a gain of $1,119.395 in imports
and a decrease of $2,421, oO5 in exports as
compared with the same week or 1914.
New business in the iron and steel
industry may be coming forward. a lit
tie less freely, but the demand fer many
products is so far ahead OF supply that
there is little interest in current opera
tons. More new high record prices for
recent years have been esta blished IN
the markets for minor metals
in the cotton goods industry IT has
at last become necessary for producers
to recognize the higher position attained
by the raw material. Had there exist
ed any larger supply of goods at the
mills or in primary markets buyers
might have resisted the upward ten
dency by postponing purchases in an
ticipation of an early reaction IN Jaw
cotton. Some standard brands have
not yet joined the movement. but brown
cottons tend upward and heavy sheet

WHEN NELSON COMES.
something About the Opera ''Don
Pasquale'' in Which She Appears.

The first presentation of a Donizetti
opera in Topeka viii take place next
Tuesday evening when Alice Nielsen
appears at the Grand opera house in
Don PasQuale' This is one of the
few times Topeka viii be able to see
grand opera with a well known star.
Don Pasuuale" was composed for
Paris, and was originally given at the
Theater Itaiien in 1843, with Lablache,
the great bassO, as Don Pasquale, Grisi.
the famous prima DONNA, as Norma.
Mario one the greatest tenOrs of his
day, as ErnestO, and Tamburini anoth-
err famous artist, as DOttOre MaIatesta.
With such a cast the opera achieved
a brilliant success. It captive ted the
lovers Of music, the Serenade was sung
all over the world: the melodies were
pronounced distinguished-never COM
monplace.
The plot of Don Pasquale" is Of the
slightest sort, and the idea was taken
from Ser Marc Antonio" a work by
PaVesi, produced I'm 1913, but DOnizettis
genius decorated the subject with dia-
monds that sparkle brilliantly

In three Weeks-Which may be and may
not be. just as it was announced that

doubtful DOnizetti wrote very rapid
ly-often Carelessly-but to write an
opera like Don Pasquale" i'm three

statement is exaggerated.
For all that, Donizetti wrote Dom
Sebastian" five act opera that was
regarded as his most carefully written
work, the same year-but the dolefuI
libretto provided by Scribe, so sombre
and tedious, resulted in a fiasco. from
which Donizetti never recovered. for at

ceedingly pretty. has a. clear. agreeable
voice and has been excellently trained.
Her work with the eBostonians" and

Disposed of Charles Neary in an s
Round Bout at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee. Dec. 9.-Y Dung Erne IF
Philadelphia was awarded the de-
cision over Charles Neary in an eight
round bout before the Milwaukee
Boxing club last night. Erne had all
the better of the first five rounds,
landing on Neary's face almost at will
Erne's clever side stepping kept him
out of danger.
In the sixth round Erne drove his
man to the ropes in a fierce mixup
and in the breakaway from a clinch
sent Neary staggering to the middle
of the ring with right and let's to the
head. In this round Neary landed
left on chin and right hard on ribs
followed by two light ones on Erne's
chin. In the seventh Erne got in sew

and made target of the Milwaukee

wobbIe with a hard right on the neck
but the Philadelphia man came back
and rained rights and lefts on Neary's
nose. In the last round Neary put
several hard blows to the body. but
was unable to land effectively. Erne
delivered several upper cuts followed
BY rights and lefts to Neary's head.
The decision was we'll received.
