Resumed Today.

- F-
New Brunswick, Dec. 4.-The
County Board OF Elections this
morning began the counting OF the
vote cast at the last election In the
four voting districts in the Fourth
Ward, this being the second of the
three reconnts directed on appIica-
tion of defeated Democratic candi-
dates for aldermen by Justice James
y. Bergen In this ward Alderman
William Goodwin, Democrat, was
defeated by Henry Blaine by five
votes.
Although the board had a larger
vote to recount IN this ward, this
being the largest In the city and
having four voting places, they ex-
pected to complete the work today.
The ruling of Justice Bergen to the
effect that no one but members of
the beard should be permitted to
handle the ballots was again put In
to effect today and greatly helped
to expedite matters. The district
boards Ia this ward rejected about
thirty ballots and 1t is believed by
the Democrats that some of these
ballots should have been counted for
Goodwin.
Tomorrow the last recount will be
taken up. This Is in the Second
Ward where several ballots were
marked with a blue pencil. 1t was
alleged that a trick had been work.
ed In one of the voting districts in
this ward by the substitution of q
blue for a black pencil and that the
Democratic candidate lost, there be-
Ing enough ballots thus marked to
have elected James Brown, Demo-
cratic nominee for Alderman, had
they been counted. Brown lost by
six votes.
It Is not claimed that OF the re.
count these blle marked ballots will
be counted, but it is hoped that
s0aao other irregularities may be
found to Offset the majority of
Browns opponent, former Alderman
George Collins. Upon the matter of
having the recounts was taken up
by The Democratic City committee it
was decided to have all three SO that
there could be no feeling on the part
N of those Interested that fa-
voritism was shown the candidate Ia

Mr.. Latta succumbed yesterday,

stomach troubles. Mr.. Latta was to
have undergone a third operation IL

His death was the result Of an
illness of more than a year. A month
before Congress adjourned he was
forced to go to his home in Nebraska.
From there he went to the sanitarium
Of the Mayo brothers, at Rochester,
Mimi, and later went to st. Mary's
Hospital, where he was operated
upon. The operations were necessi-
tated by malignant growths IN his
stomach, and by intestinal adhesions.
Immediately after the operations, Mr..
Latta rallied so well the physicians
had great hope for his recovery; The
Improvement, however, was retarded by
his weakened condition and about q
week ago his condition become serious,
and he sank until the end.

MRS. c. WAGGAMAN
FIGHTS CONCERNING
OF MERIDIAN HILL
Suit Alleges Gross made
quacy in Compensation
for Tract.

Objections to the Commissioners
award of $40, 1866 damages in condemn
ing Meridian Hill for a large public
park were fled today in the District
Supreme Court by Mrs. Christine Wag-
gaman, wife of Thomas e. Waggaman.
whose bankrupt estate owns large
part of the real estate.
Mrs Waggaman says the award of
s297.0Oo damages to her husbands es-
tate is $50 grossly inadequate as to
amount to taking Of private property
without just compensation, prohibited
by the Constitution"
Twenty years ago, Mrs. Waggaman
declares, the Meridian Hill real estate
sold for 81 a square foot. The Com
missioners appraised II now at only q
fraction Of a cent over that figure.
She says the Commissioners neglected
to consider great enhancement of val
ues improvements and taxes.
That discrimination has been made
by the Commissioners against the Wag-
gaman interests is also charged by
Mrs. waggaman She says their award
is out of proportion TO damages assessed
to other property owners, amounting to
denial Of Justice"
1t Is also asserted by Mrs. Waggaman
that the whole award is void and ilie-
gal, because It is s4.s6s In excess of the
1890. 900 appropriation Of Congress for the
park. She denies that Col. Henry F.
Blount may remit the exact sum In ex-
cess of the appropriation, declaring his
action to reduce the total award to the
sum offered by, Congress is Illegal
Milan & Smith are attorneys for
Mrs. waggaman. other exceptions to
the award will probably be filed by H
Rozier Duiany., trustee in bankruptcy
for Waggaman.
The commission. which made It's
award July 81, consists Of Edward p.
Schwartz, George Truesdell and Samuel
l.. Drury.
The Meridian Hill tract Is situated be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets
northwest. from Florida avenue to Eu-
cid street.
