The judge decided morning that this ck N W not well founded and commenced another recount, whereupon Gorham and his attorncys gave notice that they would not have anyihing to do with what they termed such a higlh-handed and left the court room. Judge nd Attorney Shea, representing Me- e out yes- the fraud side columns, around had Leen a other Ircady since cai tam- day yeste Atee, proceeded with the recount. After a ballot had been discovered which ad not been endorsed with the initials one of the judges,” sald C. G. Saunders, one of Gorham's attorneys, yesterday, “‘Mr. Shea asked that the ballots be gone over vith once more for the purpose of ascet- taining If there were not others in the same fix. The court granted his request, when instead of confining his attention to the back of the ballots, he turned them over and suddenly discovered other mistak In the Second precinct of the Second ward a ba was found among those counted for Gorlam which should ,have been counted M Atee, and a Gorham ballot was found which had not been counted at This made a net gain of one for Then in the First precinet of the Third ward a ballot was found in which the names of G for ulso all. MeAtee, ham and Kinnehan Lad both been checked, It should have been thrown out, but it was counted for Gorham. Here, also, there w a MecAtee ballot found in Gorham's pile. This made a total net gain of four for Me- Atce, which was enough to declare lim elected “It is my firm belief that a fraud has been committed in this case. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for some unprincipled fellow to change tha ballots. Two scratches of a pencil would do it, and there was very little care taken to jrevent it from being done while the count was actually in progress. There is not the slight- est possibility that there was a mistake in the first recount, particularly in the Fiest precinct of the Third, for in that precinct we made a gain of one vote over the official count, and Shea would be most likely to make a thorough scarch for mistakcs, As he did not find it, the natural conclus’on is that it was not there. In every precinct where there was any deviation from the official returns he went over thie count from two to five times in order to insure against mistakes. If McAtee takes the office no he will simply be profiting by the fraud of some one." Precautions that were entirely wanting during the first recount were taken yester- ay, to see that none but those who had the right should have a chance to get hold of the ballots. Around the table, at a di tance of eight feet, Judge McGee drew magic line and instructed Bailiff Baldy a to chase up hill and down dale all who dared to step but one foot across it. The judge himself counted the ballots, and no one was allowed at the table excepting the court re- porter, the judge, Attorney Shea and the baili Can't Get Too Much of a Good Thing.

The annual contest between the dog catchers and the owners of canine pets com- menced yesterday morning, and the pros- pects are good for the usual amount of pull- ing and hauling on both sides. During the day more than fifty owners of dogs called at the city clerk’s office and dropped their colns into the slot, receiving in return the bits of brass that entitled their pets to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for another year. This makes about 150 in all who have paid their taxes. One of the dog catchers attempted to carry off Constable Baker's dog during the morning, so Buker claims, after his tax had been paid. Baker promptly swore out an information charg- ing with larceny, and he is now in the county fail. G. W. Headley, who lives at 105 Broadway, filed an information in Justice Fleld’s court rging Fred Bates and Herman James, two other members of the anti-canine brig- ade, with larceny. They will have a hearing this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Dan Carrigg's big Nowfoundland dog was landed In the carryall amid the frantic pr ts of its owifer, and will have to be r ned in the usual way. The dog catchers blooded dogs to any other kind, for they are more likely to be redeemed. While you are paying for laundry why not get the best?

NOT READY FOR ACTION, Commlttees Still Discussing the Unemployed Sitantion Another meeting took place at the council chamber last evening between the council and the citizens’ committee which is trying to get employment for the laboring men But little was accomplished heyond deciding to take more time for consideration before doing anything. The matter of paving East Plerce street came up to be talked about, and the committee said it had been unable to get the consent of the property owners to the plan. Some of them thought, how- ever, that it was a matter of such public necessity that the council should take the matter into their own hands and order the street paved, just as they did years ago, when Oakland avenue was paved against the will of the property owncrs in order to furnish easy access to Fairview cemetery. The question of paving Oakland avenue was also discussed, but to this plan J. C. De Haven of the committee objected He did not want the street paved until the sewer had been down a year at least, in order that the period for settling might be over. He afterward admitted that he did not care about the sewer being put down at all After the committee had left the council resolved itself into a board of equalfzation and continued its labors. The personal as- sessments of the various wholesale liquor dealers were touched with an unsparing hand, nearly every one of them being raised anywhere from $500 to $2,000. The banks were essed as follows: State Savings bank, $15,200; Cattlemen's, $2,000; Officer Pusey, $30,000; Council Bluffs Savings, $30, 400; Citizens, $46,500; First National, $27,400. The board struck out on a new tack in assessing F. T. True of the city treasurer's office in the sum of $3,000 for the city war- rants he has in his possesion. For a num- ber of years past True has been engaged in buying up the warrants at a_generous profit, but kitherto he has been allowed to go un- taxed. ARRIVE INDUSTRIALS Generals Kelsey and Duff March Their ¥ s to the City's Outskirts. General Kelsey of Omaha and General Duff of Lincoln arrived in the city yesterday afterncon at 5 o’clock at the head of 150 In- dustrials on their way to Washington. At the motor bridge they were met by Chief Scanlan, who rode at the head of the col- umn and escorted the army out Broadway, North First street and Graham avenue to a beautiful glen just east of Fairmount park. Kelsey informed a Bee reporter that he ex- pected to break camp as early as possible this morning and start for Glenwood. “We expect to follow the line of the Burlington road as nearly as possible, but we don't ex- pect to try to capture .any trains. If we can't get the farmers living along the road to give us teams we'll walk. If these other armies had put in their time walking instead of hunting about for trains they would be a good many hundred miles further on their way than they are. It doesn't pay to waste time that way. We have provisions enough to last us a day and a half yet, and don't want any more just now. Held Up a Mall Train. Four tough looking citizens, two of them black and the other two white, undertook to hold up the fast mail on the Burlington road yesterday about noon. They stationed themselves at the crossing of the Burlington and Wabash roads and pulied three guns on the train crew when the train stopped. The crew were not intimidated, but at once started off and left the quartet behind. Dur- ing the afterncon the two white men were caught at the Milwaukee oil house, but they had gotten rid of their revolvers. The col- ored men were seen and talked to by the officers, but before it was known that they were the parties wanted they boarded & freight train and left for e east.

Con ting Storles Concerning the Wheres bouts of the Murderers, BROOKFIELD, Mo, M 14.—Reports today from Browning say that Willlam and George Taylor, the murderers of Georg Meeks and family, took breakfast this morn- ing with a farmer noar Winnegan, in Sulll- van county. The officers are positive that the murderers are still in the Winnegan neighborhood, where they have relatives and friends who are assisting them to elude arrest. Sheriff Barton has offered a reward of $200 for cach of the Taylors taken, dead or alive, nd Governor Stone has been asked to offer a reward by the state. The capture of fugitives is said to be certain within a short tim Word was recel here from Brown at 10 o'clock saying four men tracked Wil- lam and George Taylor, the mu rers of the Mceks family, several miles to th house of Jim Taylor, their father, three and a half miles southeast of Browning this afternoon. Jim Taylor refused them entrance to the house and warned them to not come around the house tonight. This word was brought to Hrowning by Porry McCollum, a reputable farmer. MeCollun measured the tracks and they correspo exactly to the Taylors' feet. Shorift Barton of Lynn county and Sheriff White of M count with large posses have evidently been misled and are all scarching the Chariton hills, in the soutliwest coriier of Adair _county, which is fully t uitles from Jim Taylor's farm. Most of the avail- able men from here and the surrounding towns are already out, but a small party will leave Laclede In a short time to wect a party from Browning and they expoct to meet near Jim Taylor's and have the house surrounded by daylight. Bill Taylor re- turned to Browning this afternoon from Jim Taylor's and was accompanied by a youngor brother of the Taylor brothers. Afier ge ting a few things from Bill Taylor's hou he started to return home, but was arrested and locked up. It now seems impossibie for the murderers to escape S CAUSED BY GASOLINE. An Explosion that Nearly Man Iiis Life, Cost a Young At 6 o'clock last night fire did about $100 damage to the residence of Mr. W. H Hyacine, 2101 Miaml street. The stove cause of explosion. it was another gasoline Supper was being pre- pared on the gasoline stove, and a sccond burner about to be lighted when the whole thing blazed up. This was followed by a shock, which was caused by the flame reaching the tank, and the force of the ex- plosion overturned the stove, igniting the carpet. A son of Mr. Hyacine, who was in yard, heard the explosion and ran to house. He saw that unless the stove was removed, the chances were good for the house to burn up. He picked up the stove and ran into the yard with it. Some oil from the tank dripped on his hands and a slight wind blew the flame toward him, and both hands were horribly burned. Gasoline stove explosions have been cause recently of quite a number of and in some instances persons have had narrow escapes from burning. One case of this was about three weeks #go, when a gasoline stove exploded in the residence of Dr. Neville, 2002 Dodge street. In this in- stance the life of the hired girl was only saved by the prompt action of Mr. Arthur Partridge, who went to her assistance. She was enveloped in a sheet of flames wien he reached her, but they were extinguished before sha recelved very serious -injury. Another was out near the Deaf and Dumb the the the fires, institute about six weeks ago.

McKane to the United States supreme court was decided against McKane today, Justice Harlan delivering the opinion. McKane in his appeal contends that he should have been allowed to go on bail pending the appeal, as the constitution meant to confer that right in all but capital cases. The justice held that the matter of bail in such'a case was entirely within the Juris- diction of the state court. Also that the warden of. Sing Sing prison had no right to return McKane to the sheriff of New York pending the appeal, as the appeal had no effect upon his imprisonment in Sing Sing prison, { " McKane is overruled at every point, with- {out a dissenting opinion from any of the Justices. —————— DEMOCRATS AT DISCORD.
