Comparisons That Made It Look Favorable for the Democrats. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. . Aunany, N. Y., Oct. 21.—Of course the fairest comparison of the present registration in New York and Brooklyn is with that of 1888, the last Presidential year, and in view of the distrac- tions of the Columbian celebration it is justly conservative to consider together in treating this vear’s figures the two days upon which the | enrollments have taken place in New York and in Brooklyn. For Brooklyn the registra- | tion for the two days foots up 120,084 names as | Against 118,314 in 1888, ‘This increase of 11.770 is more ‘than the national gain through | [the growth of Brooklyn _—_ during |the four years, In New York city | the total for the two da} | 187,491 four years ago. at “least fully up to the — normal standard of the city's growth. The Har- Tison national and state headquarters expected | New York # registration to be under 90.000. The total for the two cities this year, 332,460, in- dicates, according to the law ‘of ratios, an extremely large democratic plurality south of the it Chester line. 2 While the change in the assembly districts in Now York renders a detailed local comparison difficult, examination of groups of districts show that the increase is proportionately larg in the localities that went for Cleveland in 1554 and 1898, The second assembly district in New York, always strongly democratic, is a prominent in- stance of this, the enrollment there having reached within 1,000 of the total of four years ago, while the alteration in the constituency has been trifling. The twenty-ninth and thirtieth assembly districts, as now constituted, y be compared with the old twenty-fourth as cover- ing the -ame territory, all of the city north of the Harlem. In that ‘region the registration of this year bas reached 11,640 as against 8.073 in 1888, ‘This is more than a natural increase frem the growth of the annexed district, aa this dis is 202,376 against 10 excess for 1892 is | | | | | | 5,000 to 6,000 democratic majorit, ‘The registration evidences are equally favor- able to Cleveland and Stevenson in the northern aud in the southern extremities of the metropolis, In the twenty-first district the republican registration is quite heavy. The figares for two days in 1888 were 9,503. ‘This year the total fbr the corresponding days was 6,844, the differ- ence being accounted for by the readjustment of district boundaries. These figures render it evident that the large registration of this year is favorable to the democrats, ——— NEILL CONVICTED. The London Polsoner Sentenced to Hanged. Loxpox, Oct. 21.—The trial of Thomas Neill Cream, otherwise known as Thomas Neill, for the murder of Matilda Clover by poisoning her with strychnine resulted today in a verdict of murder as charged in the indictment. As under English law no appeal can be taken in criminal cases, except to the home secretary, this settles Cream’s fate. He will be hanged ‘unless he cheats the gallows by suicide. When the court opened today he showed no particular signs of anxiety. THE 3UDGE's cHAROE. He listened attentively to the summing up by Justice Hawkins, which was decidedly unfavor- able to the defense. Justice Hawkins dwelt ex- haustively with the question of identity, and pointed out that the witnesses for the prosecu- tion could have no imaginable motive for mak- ing false statement as to this most important point, and that no reason could be suggested why they should speak anything but the truth. Justice Hawkins treated the cause of death as plainly proven to be poison- ing by strychnine. He severely censured the medical man who had given a certificate of the woman's death, without having seen her at any recent period previous to her death, and without knowledge from actual observation as to the cause, and he also commented upon the evidence showing that the dying woman had been grossly neglected. Justice Hawkins pointed out as bearing strongly. against the prisoner the fact that Creat bad written a letter a month after the Clover woman died asserting that her death was caused by poison, thus showing that the prisoner pos- sessed knowledge as to the cause of her death which could have been in possession only of her murderer. The charge was throughout a se- vere analyeis of the testimony and appeared to ut an end toany hope of an acquittal. The fos ‘came toa verdict promptly and appeared to ve had no hesitation as to the prisoner's guilt. ; In his charge today Justice Hawkins pointed out the importance of the evidence given by the government analysist, Dr. Stevenson, show- ing that the death of Matilda Clover was due to strychnine. If the jury believed this, the judge said, then they should consider the deaths of the three other girls, Marsh, Shrivel and Do worth, and as to whether the facts shown tended to inculpate the prisoner. TRE vennicr. ‘The jury retired at 1:45. The tone of the charge evidently chook whatever confidence Neill had entertained. He grew manifestly anxious and watched the jury with close atten- tion, while casting furtive glances at the judge. The jury was absent fifteen minutes. “When the jury ‘returned and the verdict was an- nouncedsthe prisoner acted stoically,, although evidently making a strong effort to subdue hia feelings. Mise Sabatini, the young woman to whom Cream had been engaged to be married, | sobbed loud enough to be heard throughout the court room. Sastice Hawkins asked Cream whether he de- | sired to say anything asto why sentence of | death should not be pronounced. Cream shook his head slowly, but uttered no wotd. Justice Hawkins in pronouncing sentence dwelt in indignant terms upon the cruelty of | the prisoner in torturing to death young | women who had nefer harmed him in any way ‘The judge then pronounced sentence in the usual fofm, the prison chaplain, who stood near | the judge, responding “Amen” in a solemn voice. Cream turned very pale while the Judge was | sentencing him. Sweat burst from his fore- head and trickled in drops down his ‘ace. He refrained, however, from speaking and was re- | | moved to the cell without having uttered a | word. The court room was thronged and the | deepest interest was displayed, in the proceed- | ‘oom eee PEOPLE TRAMPLED DOWN. A Cavalry Horse In Chicago Runs in a Crowd of Spectators.

Bostox, Oct. 21.—The dawn of Columbus day disclosed many buildings in Boston in holi- day attire, but the decoration, except of public | buildings, is not gemieral. ‘The ¢ was ushered in at sunrise by the ringing of the church and fire alarm bells and national salutes fired at the navy yard on the common and at the forts in | the harbor.

COLUMBUS AND RELIGION. ‘The Relations of the Great Discoverer to Christianity. ‘THE SERVICES TODAY AT THE NEW YORE AVENUE CHURCH UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE WASH- INGTON PRESBYTERY—MR. 6. BR. SPOFFORD'S SCHOLARLY ADDREss. The celebration of Discovery day at the New York Avenue Church this morning was at- tended by a large and representative gath- ering. As tho service was held by direction of the presbytery of Wash- ington city the members of that | denomination were naturally interested and the various churches were well repre- sented. The pastors of the churches were present, and attogether the audience was rather @ remarkable one. The large auditorium of the church was well filled when the committee appointed by the presbytery and the speakers feted in on the pulpit. The committee in charge was com of Rev. Dr. Bartlett, Rev. Dr. Sunderland and Judge William Strong. Rev. Dr. Bartlett presided and after singing by the tion, led by the precentor, | Prof. Paul. A sclection from the Scriptures was | read by Rev. Dr. Sunderland, who offered prayer. In words that were beautifully chosen | and with a pathos of voice that was most affect- | ing he implored the Divine sympathy for the family in the White House. REV, DU. CHESTER’S ADDRESS. The first speaker introduced by Rev. Dr. Bartlett was Rev. Dr. Chester, who, in a sbort bnt well-conceived addrom, spoke of the discovery of Columbus in relation to the epread of Christianity. He said that God, in his provi- dence, had arranged the time for this discovery. It was not a century too early If Columbus had gone on his voyage a century earlier the results of his work would have been impaired by the ignor- ance and superstition of the dark ages. A half heathen and a alf Christian religion would have been trans- planted to the new world. But at the period chosen a king and queen sat on the throne of Spain of distinguished piety, while the discoverer looked upon himself as an ambassador of Christ. Tho referred to the significance of the na discoverer, Christopher meaning Christ bearer and Columbus the dove. There were three great events in the history of the world that made the time of the discovery of the new world particularly favorable, namely, the discovery of printing, which placed the Bible | in tho hands of the people, the reformation and the revival of learning. At that time God put into the mind of — Co- lumbus the idea of finding the new world. He put into his hands the key, which, however, was designed to turn but one ward in the lock. | Columbus was simply a discoverer, not a colonizer. He then contrasted’ the mission of the Anglo-Saxon race as colonizers of the new world with that of the Latin race, and illustrated the theme by refer- g to the two paintings, the Landing of Co- Iuabus and the landing of the pilgrims. In the former he said the prieststands prominent, while in the latter is the open Bible. In conclusion the speaker emphasized the truth that the spirit of Columbus could be imitated by the church of today in the work of spreading the gospel. MR. A. R. SPOFFOUD. The next speaker, Mr. A. R. Spofford, the librarian of Congress, was introduced by Dr. Bartlett with a few graceful words, in which a tribute was paid to the knowledge of books which Mr. Spofford possesses in such an eminent degree. Mr, Spofford’s address was of courve an interesting avd scholarly treatment of the sub) He spoke of the biographers of Colui bus and also detailed the various estimates that have been held of his character and his work, closing with a just and eloquent picture of Columbus as he appeared, and fitly esti- mating the value of his enthusiasm. DR. HAMLIN’S ADDRESS. The pastor of the Church of the Covenant, Rev, Dr. Hamlin, was the next speaker and gave in a brief space an interesting account of Columbus as a religious, He showed how the work of Columbus was related to the development of Christianity. Columbus, the speaker said, was an intensely religious man. Not perhaps in the sense of that term as it is understood stoday. He was very super- stitious and believed in yows and penances. His religion did not make him o moralist. He kept talee his voyage strict in the relations of domestic life and over- strict in securing all the titles possible. He was @ man of age, an the countr; and age that established the —inquisi- tion can hardly accuse Columbus of superstition or immorality. But these defects were only spots on the sun. They cannot ob- serve the glory of his fame as a discoverer, as a man of resolutitn, undaunted by adversity and disappointment, and persisting in spite of ull and” finally accomplishing what his believed could not be accom- ptished. speaker said that Columbus was supported through the trials of life by religion. He believed that he was a man of destiny; that God had given him a special miation to ¢x- tend the kingdom of Christ. Reference was made to the fact which the speaker said had been so little noted, namely, that Columbus was earnestly in favor of starting another crusade for the rescue of the holy vepulcher. He desired to _ contribute money to this purpose and left in his will a pro- vision for this pious object. It was no dis- credit to Columbus that he did not .foresce tI influence of his great discovery. I was not until more than a cen- tury later that its meaning was interpreted by the voyage of the Mayflower. In this country has beer realized the condition of a land without a_ bishop and a state without u king. In conclusion the speaker dwelt upon the value of freedom of thought und freedom of religious opinion and said that here in this country, where there is no ambition on the part of the state for conquest, a torch is held up for both continents, 4 poem appropriate to the occasion was read by . A. Croffut and then the audience was dismissed, > THE SCOTTISH KITE MASON! The Supreme Counett to Meet in St. Louis in 1894, The Supreme Council of the Ancient and Ac- cepted Scottish Rite for the southern jurisdic tion resumed its session this morning at 10 o'clock in the house of the temple. The grand commander, Dr. Batchelor, presided, and all but one or two of the officers were in their sta- tions. ‘The first business was the reports from committees. The report of the finance com- mittee was highly gratifying, showing » hand- some cash balance on hand. ‘The see of the Supreme Council is at Charles- ton, 8.

The Columbus service at Epiphany Chureh | at 11 o'clock today consisted of the morning prayer of the Episcopal Church, conducted by | Dr. McKim and assistants, appropriate singing by the choir and an address by Bishop Hugh | Miller Thompson of Mississippi. Bishop | Thompson took for his text the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy, third verse. He did not praise Columbus, but praised | God for the discovery of this land. Columbus wasa very minor figure in the bishop's re- | marks. | G | the di who guides all the ages and minds, had scovery of this land in His mind. It was not brought about by any human mind or the efforts of any eet of men, said the bishop, It was the Viking who first ‘discovered the main. land of North America, Columbns first dis- covered au island of the West Indies— he knew not what. It is very seldom that a discoverer knows what he has found—that knowledge ts | the heritage of others. |, It was 400 years before the children of the Viking—the real discoverer of the mainland | laimed their own, the ery. In the meantime they had scattered the | world over and were found in every clime. | Nowhere does one wee more clearly the con- | tinuous motive and design of the God of the the universe than in the discovery, settlement and history of these United States, In God's design there was the United States of America; let it be enid humbly, let it be said | devoutly, but confidently. | NOT FROM SPAIN, BUT FROM ENGLAND. The settlers of the new land must bring with them the heroism of their race, law, order and |liberty, and that mast come not from Spain, | but from England, from the descendants of the Viking. The vital principle of these people was the xiom that George Washington later laid down, tion depended upon trust placed in the Lord God. absolutely nothing. He knew not what he dis- covered, What we have is by virtue of the ful- | fillment of God's steady design. Bishop Thompson referred to the extermina- tion of the Indians, the original owners and in- | habitants of this land. ‘The sign of the cross, | borne by Columbus and others who came after | bim, was to the Indian the sign of death. | The’ money sent from Engiand to convert sthe Indian was used to buy shot to kill him. Even to this day in the west it is suid that the only good Indian isadead Indian, Ma deliver the land from the ery of vengeance that up from every hillside and valley in North and South Ameri Yet God sometimes used rough weapons to do His work. ‘The Puritans were not saiute,the cavaliers of Virginia were not saints. There was much of the riff-raff of Europe among these early workers of the nation’s later glory The United States bas become soluble, the political soluble, world. EVERYTHING BECOMES AMERICAN, But there isnonecd for fear. We can take large | draughts of life into our veins and yet pre-erve | our national life. Everything that comes here social of the whole - becomes American. “The race.” said Bishop three soloists, the Mises Alice Lothrop and | ‘Thompson, “that for twenty centuries has Gertrude Holden, sopranos, and little Miss | held fteclf as exclusive ocean Sats tos Mathilda Grossart, alto, who took the part of | very small letters and aa in large ones. ‘That church, the Bishop continued, which for 1800 years has been the most exclu- sive thing in Christendom and which condemns the rest of us to damnation as heretics, now writes American instead of Roman before its name or under it in this country, and its chief in this land actually commends the American public school, which for years was thought by | its ministers fo be an especial institution of the devil. _>-— THE CATHOLICS AND COLUMBUS.
