ZERO WEATHER
KILLS THREE
IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 13.-The cold snap
which yesterday descended on the
city and sent the mercury below the
zero mark today had caused three
deaths up to late hour tonight.
The local weather bureau predicted .
probable drop to 5 degrees below zero
by morning. The low record today
was 2 below. The maximum was ID
above. Police and hospitals were busy
giving aid to those who had bean
overcome by the cold.
With the coming Of the cold spell
the unemployment problem of the city
again has become pressing. Last night
LII homeless were cared for in mu-
nicipal lodging houses, while in the
recently equipped refuge quarter on
one of the recreation piers 600 others
found shelter. Another 1856 were quar-
tered on boats owned by the city.
Tonight municipal shelters again
were crowded to capacity and many
persons had to be turned away. Or
ders were issued by Gen Darlington
Booth, head of the Volunteers of Amer
lea, that the halls of the organiza-
ton should be kept open and that cot
fee and bread should be given all per-
sons needing it.
Zero weather had no terrors to &c

Brooklyn-Seagate marathon 1t was q

Three of the runners were taken to a
hospital suffering from cold and ex

the same reason. Only eleven finished.

OFFICE HUNTERS
WILL INTERVIEW
The UNTERRIFIED
LINEUP OF VOTERS TODAY
Candidates Will ButtODhOIe
The UDWary

The voter from Wayback, who comes
to Americas today for load Of guano
or upon other fragrant mission, will
find the glad hand poked at him upon
all sides. For the candidate is alive
to the job and full half score are
already beneath the plum bush in an
ticipation of the juicy plums that will
roll in their direction when the voter
gently undulates the tree.
There were no new announcements
yesterday, but already the number Of
announced candidates is sufficient to
keep the blood circulating and cause
the able voter to lend an ear to the
stories to be told them.
Already there is a candidate with
an eye focused upon every office where
a vacancy is to occur-some of the
jobs with more than one set of optics
turned upon them, and the Wistful gaze
will not relax until the ballot box is
bottled up on the evening Of March
18th, and the counting of the votes has
progressed.
Announcements have been made for
clerk of court, sheriff, tax collector,
tax receiver t2), county treasurer (2l,
coroner and county surveyor. Several
of these officials will scarcely have
any opposition The Office of treasurer
which is worth about $4,000 per an
mum, is especially desired, as is that
of tax receiver, which is not worth
half that amount, it is stated.
AS yet there are no announcements
for county commissioner, of which
body two members are to be chosen.
However, there will be a lot of aspir-
ants in due season.
Many have asked if there would be
any candidates for the position of clerk
t. the board of county commissioners
now filled by Mr.. ]. A. Pinkston. While
this is a lucrative position, paying a
salary of $1,000, the office is an APP
pointive one and made by the board
commissioners. Were it al elective
office, there would be, no doubt, many
candidates for it.
No one doubts but that other candi-
dates for various county offices will
get into the race before the date of the
primary which is March u, and nearly
month yet in which they can har-
poem the voter.

Recently quiet arrangements were
made to secure the personal safety O.
Mr. Lind. Until a few days ago he
took long walks alone in the outlying
country. At the consulate no guard
was maintained, but signal boys were
brought from the feet to act as mes
sengers. In consequence of secret in
formation reaching the consulate the
signal boys were replaced by eight
stalwart bluejackets, four of whom
are on duty day and night
Mr. Lind, whenever he leaves the
consulate now, is followed by big
bluejackat, who although unarmed,
is within immediate striking distance.
Mr. Lind was opposed to these pre-
cautionary measures, but finally was
persuaded that conditions demanded
them.
