all who desired to do so had voted. P. D. Armoun Votes. cago board of trade have so many ballots been cast in an annual election as were deposited yesterday in the contest between Zina R.

Carter and Z. P. Brosseau for the presidency of the board, which terminated in the election of Mr. Carter by a majority of 142 out of a total poll of 1,339 votes. The newly elected president has already held every elective office in the institution, with which he has been connected for the past thirteen years, having served on the directory for several terms and held the office of first vice president one year and that of second vice president two years.

He has also served on the arbitration and appeals committees, in all of which positions he has been highly esteemed for his business abilItles and sound common sense. Mr. Carter in politics is a prominent Republican, and as the condidate of his party served a highly creditable term in the city council as alderman from the Tenth ward. At the last election for drainage trustees he was elected a member of the drainage board, and has taken a conspicuous part in the important work connected with the completion of the sanktary canal. The polls were opened when the tap of the bell announced that the first day's business In 1898 had begun, and the voting commenced at once.

For the Arst hour the election ofAcials were not rushed to any great extent, but from 10 o'clock until noon they were kept busy recording the names of the members who wished to express their preferences by decorating the yellow ticket with sundry pencil marks and "scratching" the men they did not vote for. For an hour there was something of a lull, until 1:15, when the day's business on 'change ended. The election did not close until 2 o'clock, and during the laat three-quarters of an hour the who are rarely seen on the floor of exchange hall--appeared in considerable force. There was no great excitement at any time, and when the polls closed at 2 o'clock Almost the last to -exercise the franchise were P. D.

and J. Ogden Armour, who strolled up to the ballot-box arm in arm barely in time to record their votes. Joseph Leiter, who has for some weeks held the center of the speculative stage on account of his wheat purchase, did not vote, for the reason that he is not a member of the board of trade, although his father, L. Z. Leiter, is and has been for a number of years.

Among the promInent "outsiders" who cast their ballots were Ernest Hamill of the Corn Exchange bank; G. H. Wheeler, president of the City Railway company; Robert Law, W. P. Rend, and E.

F. Pulsifer. Mr. Pulsiter, who is 85 years of age, turned out to vote for his old friend, Z. P.

Brosseau, and it was the first time he had voted at a board of trade election in thirty years. The old gentleman is still in active business and is known as one of the larges: receivers shippers in the trade. The election was in charge of the following tellers: W. A. Morse, A.

C. Green, Morris Merrill, W. H. Taylor, George A. Aldridge, Thomas J.

McMurray, Daniel Lacy, J. T. Bestor, and C. A. Orrit.

Close to the ballotboxes were the retiring president, W. T. Baker, and B. A. Eckhart, who worked unceasingly for the successful candidate, while Charles D.

Hamill and W. J. Pope managed the campaign for Mr. Brosseau. Henry 0.

Parker of H. O. Parker Co. was elected second vice president by 1,303 votes, and was heard to declare after the announcement of the vote at 7 o'clock that he was disappointed in having run behind his ticket. There were thirty-six blanks or scattering votes, which prevented his receiving the total number cast.

The committees elected are as follows: Committee of Appeals- James M. Sherman, William M. Gregs, Samuel A. McClean, George S. Blakeslee, Charles W.

ReQua. J. H. Rawleigh, Earle, C. H.

Canby, Committee of Arbitration Rodgers, William J. Taylor. Baker Glad to Retire. After the returns were in the retiring president, W. T.

Baker, said: "Well, I am glad it is all over and that at last I can retire into private life. The very thought of 1t is restful after the activity which has been forced upon me in recent years. The presidency of the World's Fair was followed ty those of the Civic federation and the board of trade, and I can assure you that I am heartily glad to get out of the harness at last. The election of Mr. Carter is very gratifying to me.

In the directory he has given me a loyal support, and while I am not authorized to speak for him I think that as president of the board he will continue the policy of my administration, and prove the uncompromising enemy of the bucket shops and other illegitimate interests which we have fought together for years. My health is not robust and I intend to take it easy for a time, but have no plans made for a trip abroad, such as has been reported." z. P. Brosseau said: "Mr. Carter has been chosen to succeed Mr.

Baker, and I am perfectly satisfled, I was not at all anxious for the honor and only consented to run at the earnest solicitation of my friends. As it is, to be beaten by so slender a majority with so heavy a vote, after a campaign of only twenty-four hours, is no small compliment, and I thank the many friends who came to my support without solicitation. The only thing I have to complain of during the brief campaign that has just closed is that I have' been misrepresented. It is all through with and can do me no good, but I wish to reiterate the fact that as a director of this board and chairman of the quotations committee I fought the bucket shops, and am fighting them still. I have refused all kinds of bribes, both in the form of money and business, from the bucket -shop men to relax my vigilance la preventing their obtaining quotations, but my record on this board shows where I have always stood, So far as altering the rule rolating to contract wheat is concerned, 1 that men who have bought under certain conditions should not be arbitrarily deprived of their property.

But it must be remembered that I would only be one vote in a reconsideration of the rule, and, therefore, the fuss kicked up about that matter was all for effect." Charles D. Hamill Talks. Charles D. Hamill said: "I am only sorry that we had not twenty-four hours more in which to refute the campaign stories started by overenthusiastic and not very scrupulous friends of Mr. Carter.

In that event Mr. Brosseau would certainly have been elected, as it would only have necessitated the change of seventy-three votes to land him at the head of the poll. We made a gallant fight for him and Mr. Carter is elected by the closest vote in many years. In the big battle of '96, between W.

T. Baker and Thomas A. Wright, Mr. Baker won by 215, and that was the closest finish in recent years until today's election." There were two odd circumstances in the fight of yesterday. Both of the candidates bad for an initial, and the number of votes cast for Carter and Brosseau was exactly the same as for Baker and Wright in The total vote on that occasion was 1,354, the heaviest ever cast, but fifteen of the ballots were scattering, two of them having been marked for "Old P.

Hutchinson. The total votes in the past few have been: 1897, 1896, 1895, 1894, 1893, 1892, 1891, 1890, 952; and 1889, 958. BAD LUCK. BESETS ANDERSON. Inmate of Detention Hospital Tells Story of Misfortune.

Charles Anderson, a cripple, has almost run the limit of bad luck. Within six months he has lost his mother by drowning, says he was choked and kicked by his father, fell into the Chicago river, and was locked up at the Harrison street police station. He 1s now in the detention hospital. He is scarcely 19 years old. His left arm and leg are crippled from scarlet fever, which he had when he was 9 years old.

There is no evidence of insanity in his talk, but he admits he has been subject to fainting spells. He has made his home with his father and stepmother, who conduct a rooming-house at No. 223 South Desplaines street. According to Anderson, his father deserted the family thirteen years ago for the woman who is now his wife. She was at that time an actress.

The mother took the children, two boys and baby girl, and went to live with a sister in Canada. Later they went to St. Paul, a divorce having been obtained in the meantime. In St. Paul Mrs.

Anderson married James Goodwillie, a stonecutter. He was a hard drinker and the marriage was not a happy one, and separation was finally the result. The mother and children settled in Detroit. Last August the mother started by boat for Cleveland, where she had found employment. In some manner she tell from the steamer and was drowned.

The father in Chicago read of the accident and sent word for James and his sister, aged 15, to join him. They came and have since been living in the Desplaines street house. Last Monday, says Anderson, during a family dispute, his father choked him. The father, George Anderson, has been an inmate of the asylum at Dunning, and was released from there only a few weeks ago. Thursday night Anderson went under the approach to the Van Buren street to sleep, and, he says, was attacked by a stranger.

During the scuffle he tell into the river. He was rescued by two men and taken to the police station. At the request of his family Anderson was taken to the detention hospital. KICK AND BEAT THE DETECTIVE. Officer Cunty Is Roughly Treated by Suspected Thieves.

Robert Simpson, Harry Peck, and Louis Getz are locked up at police headquarters, charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer. With two other men they kicked and beat Detective Louis Custy last evening at Fifth avenue and Madison street. Merchants in the vicinity of Fifth avenue and Washington street have complained recently that their stores have been entered and goods of value stolen. hind Detective Custy was detailed on the case, early last evening be saw Simpson and four companions walking along Fifth avenue with a number of packages in their possession. Custy seized Simpson and informed him that he was under arrest.

No sooner had he so than the others surrounded him and threw him down. Then the men kicked Custy about the body, and also struck him in the face with their fists. Custy attempted to draw his revolver, but was unable to do so. He managed to free himself and again seized Simpson. During the struggle some one notifled the police at the Central station, and soon other officers arrived.

Two of the men who had the packages escaped arrest, and their names are not known. While on the way to the station Simpson bit Custy's left hand so severely that it was necessary to have the wound cauterized. The police say the prisoners have been arrested before.

Erio Parnell, the 5-year-old colored child who was given whisky by Marvin Pointer, a boarder, at his mother's home, on Eighteenth street, Saturday afternoon, died at noon yesterday at St. Luke's hospital. Until 11 o'clock it was thought he would survive, but the doctors were unable to overcome the stupor into which he sank Just before noon.

IT BREAKS ALL RECORDS Twenty-Five Worthy Institutions Will Be Benefited. The Affair Managed So Economically That the Expenses Were Only $3,000. The sum of $29,000 is to be distributed among twenty-five charitable and benevolent institutions of Chicago from the proceeds of the seventeenth annual ball of the Young Men's Hebrew Charity association. Louis Eckstein, president of the association, said last night he thought it was the largest sum ever netted for charity in any 7 city of the United States at a single entertainment. The footings were made up yesterday, which showed how the fund stood, and the distribution will be made within a few days.

The beneficiaries are these institutions: Michael Reese hospital, Daily News Fresh Air fund, Illinois training school, Jewish Training school, Visiting Nurses' association, West Side dispensary, bureau of justice, Home for Aged Jews, Humane society, Chicago Jewish Orphans' home, Alexian Brothers' hospital, United Hebrew charities, Chicago Clinical school, Provident hospital, labor bureau, Salvation Army, Sheltering home, Volunteers of America, Maxwell Street settlement, Home for the Friendless, Visitation and Aid society, St. Elizabeth's hospital, Chicago Charity hospital, German hospital, Chicago Lying-In dispensary. The ball was given on the night of Dec. 14 at the Auditorium. Nearly 7,000 people attended.

As a social affair it was unsurpassed by any of Its sixteen predecessors. As financial affair it surpassed the greatest of them by more than $6,000 on the profit side of the account. Eekstein on the Result. Mr. Eckstein expresses himself as being especially gratified in a showing of such large sum for charity, and such a comparatively small account of expenditures in nection with an affair of such magnitude.

He said last night: "I have found when going around town each year to solicit support for our ball that we are sometimes asked, 'Isn't a great deal of money wasted in getting up a big affair of this For that reason, it is interesting to know that only actual outlays, such as those for music, rent, wardrobe, printing, postage, clerk hire, and a few incidentals, are incurred. Every penny of the net profits goes to the cause of charity. I don't believe that any such affair in the United States ever netted any such sum for charity. Of course, there have been fairs that have lasted for a week, or several nights, that have possibly made much more than this; but I don't think that any entertainment lasting only one night has ever made as much. The ball of 1894 netted about $19,000.

Those of 1895 and 1896 netted approximately $21,500 each. This one netted more than $29,000. It was our banner The treasury account of the ball shows the gross receipts to be $32,000. In round numbers the net receipts were more than $29,000. The entire expenses were kept within $3,000, only those things which were considered indispensable being contracted for by the managers.

The expense account was made up of these items: Rent of hall, music, $670; printing, $250; postage, $270; wardrobe, $110, and incidentals, including clerk hire and stenographic work, making up the remainder. Boxes. Sold for $10,000. The sale of boxes for the ball, which was held at the clubhouse of the Standard club, Michigan avenue and Twenty-Fourth street, brought out a list of bids which ran up a total of more than $10,000. The first choice of boxes raised a lively competition, which resulted in a top bid of $1,350.

The three women, who entered together, and chatted with one another like old friends, are Mrs. Ida Calderwood Bates, Mrs. Nettie Swain Bates, and Mrs. Julia McCarthy Bates.

Judge Grosscup's decision in the Coffeen switch franchise case was reversed. Coffeen connected his warehouse by a switch with the Pennsylvanias tracks. The switch was constructed on WyDian street from Desplaines to Jefferson, and to Milwaukee avenue. A ten-year franchise was granted by the city council. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

Paul, as abutting property-owners, secured an injunction restraining Coffeen from laying the track. The Court of Appeals holds that the city has right to control private switches. The Federal statute forbidding national banks to purchase their own stock is sustained by the court. The opinion is in the case of William C. Niblack, a receiver of the Chemical National bank, against W.

F. BarTOWS. The latter in March, 1893, sold 100 shares of Chemical stock to the bank for $100 a share. May '8, 1893, the bank failed. The receiver sued Barrows for the recovery ct the money paid him for the stock, and secured a judgment for the full amount, with interest.

A reversal of the court below was made in the appeal of Adams Burke, stock yards commission merchants. The firm purchased cattle from Missouri dealers several years ago. The Citizens' bank of Tina, advanced the money for the purchase to the local dealers, expecting to have Adams Burke transfer the proceeds to the bank. The court holds that the transaction was one purely between the Tina bank and its local customers, and that Adams Burke were not legally liable. The commission Arm, however, the record shows, is an Indorser to a note for the amount subsequently given by the local Missouri dealers to reimburse the bank.

Detective Allcock fired the shot during a wild chase alley between Wabash and Michigan avenues, near Sixteenth street. Besides bringing to a temporary Cohen's career as a "hold-up" man, Detective Allcock and his partner, Detective Norton, arrested Daniel Hamilton and Henry Carr. brother of Jack Carr, the Evanston trolley car robber. The men are thought to be connected with several, robberies in the district. Cohen's injury is not a slight one, but there is no danger of fatal results from the wound.

He is in the care -of the surgeons at the county jail hospital. Allcock walked on the east side of the street, while Norton was on the west side. Both were walking south when at Sixteenth street they saw three men running east from State street. The men were recognized as Cohen, Carr, and Hamilton, and they were commanded to halt by the policemen. They only increased their speed, and Carr was captured by Norton with difficulty.

Then All cock arrested Hamilton and placed him in Norton's charge, while he continued the pursuit of Cohen, who attempted to use his revolver when the detective gained upon him. Allcock was the quicker in using his weapon, and the fugitive was handcuffed. NEWS NOTES FROM EVANSTON. Dr. Frank H.

WEIR COMPANY HAS NO CASE. Cannot Collect Damages from the East Moline Company. Judge Grosscup decided yesterday that the Weir Plow company had not the right to collect $50,000 damages from the East Moline company. In 1895 the East Moline company was a land company, owning unimproved lands near Moline, Ill. At that time the Weir Plow company was located at Monmouth, Ill.

According to the plaintiffs, in the summer of 1895 Inducements were held out to them by the land company, from which they agreed to move their manufacturing plant to Moline. In return for this they were to receive a certain tract of land and a cash bonus of $50,000 to erect such buildings as would be necessary for the plant. The cash bonus, it le said, was to have been paid in ten payments of $5,000 each, and the erection of the plant was to have commenced Oct. 1, 1895. The first payment was to have been made 1895.

Owing to unfortunate circumstances, 10 is said, the Weir Plow company did not begin the erection of the plant until March, 1896, and when they called upon the East Moline company for the first payment their request was refused, as was alleged they had broken their contract by not beginning the erection of their buildings sooner.

TAKEN ILL ON CHRISTMAS Had Just Arrived in California When He Was Stricken. Vice President of Bankers' National and a Leading Financier in Chicago for Twenty Years. Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. LOS ANGELES, Jan. B.

Dewey, vice president of the Bankers' National bank of Chicago, died at his Pasadena residence, at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon. His wife, son, and married daughter were with him at the time. The cause of death is stated to be inflammation of the lining of the heart, but it DAVID B. DEWEY. possible that Dr.

Hawks of Chicago, his family physician, and Dr. Hodge of Pasa- dena may hold an autopsy to officially determine the fact. Dr. Dewey arrived in Pasadena Christmas day, and, while in conference with C. W.

David Brainard Dewey was of the Puritan stock of Massachusetts. He was born in the historic town' of Pittsfield, on May 28, 1839. At the age of 13 years, having then acquired such education as the village schools of Pittsfield could afford him, he sought the great West; to become one of Its pioneers.

At first he was occupied with farm work, but at the age of 17 he took a district school in the winter to earn money with which to attend a midsummer college term. He devoted his winters to teaching until he was 21 years old. He entered the army as a private in Company A of the Second Illinois cavalry. He had been promoted to a sergeancy when he received a wound that compelled his retirement from the ranks. He had served only about a year, and, later in the war, when he was fered a commission, the same wound prevented his re-entering the service.

In 1862 Mr. Dewey was married to Miss Nettie A. Springer of Rockford, Ill. In 1871 he began a mortgage and loan business in Chicago. His place of residence was Evanston, then one of the "coming" suburbs.

Mr. Dewey saw the possibilities of Evanston, and dealt extensively in land there. He was active in the improvement of the suburb, and served on the school board and the town council. -Governor Beveridge and Mr. Dewey opened a private banking-house in Chicago in 1876.

That enterprise prospered, and ten years later Mr. Dewey broadened his field of operations by organizing a larger one, the American Exchange National bank. He was selected as the vice president of the new bank and its financial manager. One of His Bank Experiences. The reputation that the new vice president bad established for financial responsibility served him well the following year, at a critical time in the bank's affairs.

It was during the operation of the now famous Harper corner in wheat, and the bank had honored fraudulent drafts to the amount of $400,000. Mr. Dewey was confined to his home by illness, but the credit of the bank needed his personal efforts, and he appeared at his desk and directed affairs until the danger was past. The American Exchange National bank was seriously mixed into the failure of C. J.

Kershaw and it required radical action to restore to it the full confidence of the public. That was done by Mr. Dewey's ordering an assessment on the stockholders of 80 per cent. Notwithstanding such a shaking of its foundations as the bank went through, its able manager soon put it on a paying basis, and added $250,000 to its undivided surplus besides. But the effort to accomplish that was the strain which told on his health, and since 1891 he had not been giving as much time to business affairs as before.

The Bankers' National bank, In the Marquette building, was started by Edward S. Lacey of Evanston and Mr. Dewey, Mr. Lacey had just retired from the office of comptroller of the currency, and was elected as president the concern. Mr.

Dewey was made its vice president. Of late years Mr. Dewey had been spending his winters at Pasadena, with his family, in order to avoid the severity of winter in the Of five children born to Mr. and Mrs. Dewey, two are living.

SUES VILLAGE OF RIVERSIDE. Henry Brown Saga He Was Imprisoned for a Trivial Offense, Henry Brown, a milk dealer, has begun suit in the Circuit court to recover $20,000 from the village of Riverside and James D. Reynolds, police magistrate; Charles Lange, village marshal, and Charles W. Zarimbo, a physician. Brown declares that he was kept in the village lock-up for six days because he was unable to pay a fine of $5.

He says that a pony which he owns broke loose one afternoon and browsed on the doctor's lawn. Though he offered to pay for any damage that might have been done, Dr. Zarimbo swore out a warrant for his arrest, and he was fined for allowing the pony to run wild through the streets of Riverside.
