VOTING MACHINEs DEFEcfIvEi
Returned Many More Votes Than
Were Really Cast.


ROCHESTER. n. T.. November O.
returns as a result Of the defective work
ing Of the ballot machines used in Tues
days election were discovered yesterday.
on the part of the defeated candidates to
attempt to attack tic validity Of the cleo
ton Itself It seems likely that the matter
win get into the courts in some way.
Chairman Milton E. Gibbs Of the demo-
cratic county committee said last night
that he would issue call today for a
meeting OF all of the democratic candi-
dates at the recent election to see what
should be done.
The machine used in the first district Of
the fourth ward shows that 1853 men
voted. but the machine registered only a
total OF 443 votes for the mayoralty can
didates. and a similar number :or court
of appeals judges. The machine usad in
the town OF Pittsford shows that 572
voters entered the booth. yet the machine
recorded All republican votes and 49s
democratic votes for Edward SBartlett.
423 more than were really cast. Willard
Bartlett recsived 427 In the republican
column and 4D2 in the democratic column.
'57 more than were supposed to have
been cast. This. OF course. is not con-
sidered of great importance. the candi-
dates were on both tickets. but 1T shows
the defective operation of the machine.
One of the closest fights in the county
was for district attorney. Widener. the
r1publican candidate winning by about
1.5CO. The machine in Pittsford gave his
opponent. Nelson E Spencer. 200 votes
In the democratic column and 1870 in the
Independence League column. He was
nominated on both tickets. but 1t Is doubt
full whether he really received more than
a dozen in the independent column. The
rot oil for h.. I,ta CHI
whereas only 572 were really cast. This
is the most serious blunder yet uncovered.

FREIGHT RATE CONTENTION.
State Fight Against Railroads Be-
gun in Raleigh Today.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH. N c., November 0.-The
matter Of taking up actively the fight Of
the state against the railroads on the
charge of freight rate discr mination was
begun here yesterday, when attorneys for
state. e. ]. Justice and J. 8. Manning. and
the attorney for the State Merchants AS
ISOLATION. T. C. Guthrie, met the three
members Of the state corporation commits
sion in conference today. They are still in
conference this afternoon.
The fight which the state determined to
make In the freight rate discrimination
matter was held up temporarily by the
Strenuous efforts In the passenger rate
controversy which seemed to demand all
the time of the governor and states spe-
cial counsel as well the attorney gen.
eral.
Now that the latter has been toned
down some. the freight rate matter Is to
be resumed, and the conference this after
noon is to agree on the mode of procedure
before the corporation commission. The
Norfolk and Western, Southern. Atlantic
Coast Line and Seaboard are the roads
chiefly involved. The hearing Of the pas
senger rate case before Master Montgom-
cry will be resumed next Monday IN this
city.
1t is rumored here than an extra session
Of the legislature is probable, one reason
being the belief that the state will lose all
its cases against roads in the state su-
preme court

ing OF the executive committee and mem
bers of the union last night The local
keymen are said to have voted to fol-
low the example of Their brethren of the

At the conclusion of the meeting Mr..
A. s. Groves. president of the Washing

lowing statement:

THE CITY OF CANALS.
Venice and the Many Islands Upon
Which It Is Built.

Venice is one of the most singular
and famous cities in Europe and is
built upon a cluster of islands in the
lagoon. This lagoon is banked off from
the Adriatic by long, narrow sand
of islands, six in number. Inside of
this sand bank and between it and
the mainland is the lagoon, sheet OF
shallow water. In parts of this
marshy, sen covered plain islets have
become consolidated into ground, firm
enough to be cultivated.
And in the midst of crowded
cluster of such islands, amounting to
between seventy and eighty in num-
Der, the city of Venice is built. The
chief of these islands is called Isolda
de Rialto, or Island Of the Deep
Stream. The islands, in many places
mere shoals, afford no adequate foun-
dation for buildings, and the city for
the most part is built upon an artiti-
cial foundation of piles and stones.
The Grand canal divides Venice into
two equal parts and is the main thor
oughfare for traffic and pleasure. The
city is subdivided by some one hun
dred and forty-six small canals or
water streets. and the gondola is used
for the carriage. Access can also be
had to various parts of the city by
land there being over three hundred
bridges across canals. The Rialto, the
most famous bridge, spans the Grand
canal. There are also narrow lanes
in among the houses.

kokomo ~; Richmond, o.

Kokomo, with spiked shoes, jumped
our quivering anatomy Friday after
noon and ground us into third place so
deep that we probably will be found
limping along in that portion when
the flag drops, Sunday. The Wild
cats Friday afternoon administered to
the locals the worst beating they have
received this season, II to 0. While
Chuck Lacey held the Quakers helpless
his team mates pounded Casey Horn in
to the clear in the middle of the second
inning Fisher was placed in the
box and a general shift in the lineup
was made. Tacks went along nicely
until the fifth inning, then he COM
menced to get his with monotonous
regularity. In the fifth, sixth and sew
enth innings the Wildcats banged the
southpaw for eight clean hits, which
were combined with the usual number
of errors.
The locals were completely outclass-
ed in every department of play. Our
weakthrowing outfield allowed the Ko-
komo base runners to cavort at will
on the bags. Everything that Horn
and Fisher offered the visitors was hit
a mile or two. The one redeeming
feature of the game from local stand
point was the fielding of Weaver. Buck
took six chances. three of them pop
flies. which he had to sprint in for
without a wobble
This afternoon the locals are meeting
Hunts Portland outfit at Athletic park
and will make desperate effort to dis
lodge the laws from second Mace The
failure to win this game means that the
Quakers have third place cinched. Score

The OverruIinu of a JUDGE.

A judge once awoke in the night to
find his room in the possession of two
armed burglars. Covered by the pistol
of one of the marauders, the judge
watched the proceedings with his usu-

tors found a watch. Don't take that,
the judge said; 1T has little value and
is a keepsake" 1.-The motion is over
ruled" replied the burglar. 81 appeal"
rejoined the judge. The two bur-
glars consulted, and the spokesman
then replied: THE appeal is allowed.
The case coming on before a full tri-
bunal of the supreme court, that body
is of the unanimous opinion that the
decree of the lower court should be
sustained, and it is accordingly so or
dered" Pocketing the watch, court adj

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Portland is the attraction at Athletic
park today and Sunday. Portland is
now in second place, two games in the
lead of the locals. Portland has won
% and lost 10 games. Richmond has
won % and lost II games. If the locals
take the games from Portland today
and Sunday, both teams will be tied for
second place with a percentage of .543.
Portland games and Kokomo should
defeat Van Vert today and Sunday,
Kokomo would beat us out of third
place. If Kokomo should win both
games from Van Vert and Richmond
would split even with Portland, both
Richmond and Kokomo would be tied
for third place. Decatur has the rag
cinched, but it is pretty fight among
Richmond, Portland and Kokomo for
a place.

until the middle of October Manager

Ths Old Suer Canal.

Few people are aware that there had
been n canal across the isthmus OF
Suez before De Lesseps ever conceived
the idea of his monumental enterprise
A canal across the isthmus was actual
" constructed COO years before the
Christian era and served as n water
way for small vessels until about 1000
years ago. when it was allowed TO fall
into disuse Napoleon revived the idea
and instructed one of the great engi-
neers of his day to investigate the mat
ter, but though a favorable report was
presented TO him, in which NJ Lepere
recommended the restoration OF the
canal, the work itself was never touch
ed. When VI. de Lesseps undertook
the task of cutting the canal he thought
at first to follow the idea OF Napoleon
and restore the ancient waterway, but
this plan was abandoned and the pres
ent plan determined upon.
