Ward Review by Board.

The recount of the votes cast in the
Fourteenth ward in the recent election
for alderman, the original returns from
which gave James a. Bray, Democrat.
a plurality of three votes over Charles
A. Linnenkohl, Republican. was begun
before the County Board Of Elections
at the Court House today
With thirteen districts to go through,
necessitating the examination of more
than 1000 ballots, the work was pushed
along with all possible speed, but
progress was necessarily slow. The
early returns from the recount were
watched with the greatest interest by
local politicians, as verdict by the
county electors in favor of Linnenkohl,
overturning the original returns, would
give the Republicans control of the
Common Council, instead of tie.
Neither one of the contenders for the
election followed the course of the re-
count, although Bray was present for a
few minutes at the opening of the re-
count Both, however were represent

repeated this tale to several other

whom gave him assistance. He was

Two bold attempts to rob residences
in the southern section of the city were
frustrated early today by the occu-
pants of the houses. In one case a
young girl put the thieves to fight,
and In the other case the burglars were

She occupied a room on the store

slept her parents. When Miss Miller
arose and saw the face of man at
the window pane she jumped from her
bed and ran screaming to the room of
her parents. This brought her close to
the rear door. and there, through the
glass panel. she saw another man.
He was masked and held lighted

daughter got up and their cries to their
daughter bidding her to be calm scared
off the would-be burglars. A broken

how the burglars had set about to gain
entrance.
The Millers' discovery aroused the
neighborhood, but apparently did not
frighten off the visitors.

Especial to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Dec. 1.-Astounded by the
and Crimes CommissIon's Investigation
of corporal punishment at the state
Home for Girls and by the charges of
gross immortality at the Burlington
County Ainishouse, Governor Fort was
today determined to make sweeping
changes
President Fay. of the board of man
ayers of the State Home, who admitted
to the commission yesterday that he
had not visited the room where the
dungeons were for four years, has had
a conference with the governor and it
is likely that the two cells termed as
mediation rooms by Mrs. e. V. H..
Mansell, superintendent, will be torn
out completely.
At the investigation Mr. Fay said
he was surprised that such punishments
had been inflicted on the girls. and
promised to have the dungeons so
remodeled as to have furniture and
admit plenty of light and air.
No promises were made concerning
the strapping of the refractory girls
in which Gottlob Kohler, the giant en-
gineer, held the girls down on the bed
while Mrs. Mansell belabored them with
the strap. Governor Fort, however, will
stop this. it is believed
A special commission is likely to be
appointed to investigate the Burlington
County Almshouse. Charges were made
that many cases of illegitimacy had
occurred there because the sexes were
not segregated, and one instance in
particular was mentioned where
woman inmate had had four children
since her residence was begun there.
A doctor testified that none of the
children thus born at the almshcuse
had lived more than a few hours and-
he described, in this connection, the
crime of infanticide.

NEW YORK, Dec. -Four despera-
does armed with revolvers held up a
crowded street car in lower Third
avenue today. throttled and robbed the
conductor, terrorized the passengers
and escaped with goodly collection of
purses and other valuables.
Just before the car reached Houston
street, and while the conductor was in
side collecting fares four men who had
been scattered through the crowded car
started towards the rear door. When
they had completely blocked the exit
the men drew their revolvers. Two of
them attacked the conductor, one press
ing a revolver against his head while
the other pushed him through a win
dow and rlfled his pockets. In the
meantime the. other two had been Ego
ing through" the passengers, gathering
up valuabIes of all descriptions.
While one of the two in the car acted
as collector the other kept his revolver
at full cock and kept telling the
frightened men and women that they
were desperate men and would kill
upon the slightest provocation.
II any of the women were slow in un
pinning their valuables the ornaments
were torn from them. Several of the
women who had earrings had their ears
badly lacerated when the highwaymen
pulled the jewels from them. When
the men were slow in getting out their
money or di dnot take their watches
from their pockets in time the thief
who was collecting the booty would
hit them with the butt of his revolver
and then go through their pockets
himself
The screams of the women finally
frightened them into fight. When po-
licemen started in pursuit the robbers
had lead which made capture practi-
cally impossible.
