1 READY FOR COUNT, DECLARES JUDGE PARKER (Continued from First Page.) that the usual procedure should be departed from, whereupon Mr. Hyde put his request to the form of a demand, The chair declined to comply and Mr. Hyde raid that he would make the use of the tally, sheets compulsory under the ruling of Justice. Dickey for Queeus at noon to-day, Queens Ignores Court Order Are Cleared Up. The mysterious disappearance of the inreturns of the Fifty-second District of Queens County was cleared up this morning when the Board of County CanVassera for Queens met in the County Clerk's office, Jainaica, by the statement of the Inspector for the district, who said he had placed the returns in the wrong envelope.

He asked the canvassers to look into an envelope labelled "vold and protested and when the envelope indicated was opened the returns were found. The statement made by Ira G. Darrin, District Attorney-elect on the Republican and Municipal Ownership tickets, and representing the interests of Hearst before the board, that nine more rotes had been cast in one district than voters registered. was cleared away when it was found that Darrin had used newspaper figures, and pet the official returns. The order of Justice Dickey directing the board to show cause why it should not compare the tally sheet with the inspectors' report was served on the board, The board, however, went ahead with its work, practically ignoring the court's order.

Such a crowd of Hearst and Tammany representatives congregated in the County Clerk's office when the board convened this morning that no business could be transacted, and they had to be cleared away before any progress could be made. District Attorney-elect Darrin asked that the inspectors for the First District be sent for: Alderman McCarthy, chairman of the board, said that in all cases where the tally sheet did not correspond with the inspectors', returns, the board, without request from either side, would send for the inspectors. From present indication, if the board completes the work in two days, it will be working wonders. Richmond Canvass May Be Completed This Afternoon. The Board of Canvassers for Richmond County continued their work of canvassing the vote to-day.

They began with District 22 and at 12:15 had canvassed District 31. There are twelve more districts to. be catvassed and it is expected that the board will complete its labors late this afternoon. ROW IN CANVASSERS' ROOM. A lively disturbance arose when the canvassers working on the Nineteenth Assembly District got tangled up in some figures.

Mr. Hyde put in a- argument to the canvassers, and had called to order lone, by the chairman. An outsider, who said he was Thomas F. O'Mara, one of the election inspectors of the Ninth Election District of the Nineteenth Assembly District, called down the canvassers in a loud voice for not knowing their business, as he said. He was threatened with being ejected by force from the room.

The chairman finally restored order and the counting proceeded. THREE KILLED BY GAS. Two Others Dying in Calamity That All but Wipes Out a Paterson Family. PATERSON, N. Nov.

persons are dead and two dying as the result. of a break in a gas pipe at No. 60 Broadway, this city. The break is supposed to hare been an accident and the police are unable to advance any other theory. The dead are: Mrs.

Katherine Schroeder, 62 rears old: Christian Schroeder, aged 33; Ira Laforge, aged 10 years. Two grand-children of Mrs. Schroeder, the dead woman, are in St. Joseph's Hospital in a critical condition and there is little chance that they will survive. They are Ethel Laforge, aged 10, and Howard Laforge, aged 8.

It is supposed the accident which caused the asphyxiation of the three was caused by Christian Schroeder, a motorman oll the local trolley line, who came home from his work at 2 o'clock this morning. The break in the gas pipe found to be in the kitchen, which runs at can angle along the side wall. One part of the pipe is two inches in diameter and the other of regulation size. Hanging just over this pipe was a heavy glass mirror and it is believed that when Schroeder came home he moved around in the dark and knocked against the mirror, breaking the cord by which it was hanging. The mirror in falling struck against the pipe where the joint was made and knocked it loose.

It was found in that condition this morning and the mirror lay smashed on the floor. GRAF WALDERSEE OFF. Third Attempt to Start the Liner Upon Her Voyage to Europe Proves Successful, The big Hamburg-American Line steamer Graf Waldersee made a third and successful effort to start across the ocean at 7 o'elock this morning. She started with machinery and everything else in perfect working order, and the chances are that she will now proceed to Hamburg without further accident. The Graf Waldersee has been delayed since Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, when she pushed her nose in the mudbank off Bay Ridge.

She was floated Monday and started again yesterday, only to turn back to repair a propeller which had been damaged by a cable.

H.

Dailey, are preparing to send to the divines of the city to request them to appoint a time and place at which the Rev. Mary Pepper, of Aurora Grata Cathedral, on Bedford avenue, could demonstrate her powers as a spiritualistic medium. Some clergymen who said they might attend admitted that a partly morbid curiosity joined with love of the occult would cause them to be present. None of the men interviewed seemed to have a serious opinion of her pretensions. ALLEGED POLICY SHOP RAIDED.

Holland may a republic, if Queen Wilhelmina dies without having any children, and if the present republican feeling in the Netherlands continues to advance at its present rate. Physicians have pronounced that the law passed by Parliament, nominating a new heir to the throne. This project probably will not be carried On the death of Wilhelmina, however, it is certain that the republicans in Holland will attempt to abolish the monarchy. As it would require a two-third vote in Parliament to make Holland a republic by legal means, the demand would have to be almost unanimous to insure success in Parliament. PRAISE FOR DEMOCRATS.

McNeely and Parker Were Inspectors in Twenty-fifth District of First Assembly District. To the Editor of The Will you please let me know who the two Democratic inspectors are in the First Assembly Twenty-fifth Election District Brooklyn? I would like to know very much, a sthey are two fine gentlemen, the kind. we all want to look out after our elections. By letting me know you will oblige a reader of your paper and a Democrat of Brooklyn. GEORGE KEHOE.

Nov. 12, 1905. The election inspectors in the Twentyfifth Election District of the First bly District were: Democrats, Frank J. When she was married only a few years ago Queen Wilhelmina looked 16. Now she is more like a woman of nearly 40.

Queen will die childless, and, if she does so, the house of Orange, which has existed for a thousand years, will become extinct. The inhbaitants of Holland, who are the most democratic people in Europe, are loyal monarchists only because of the fact that the princes of Orange are associated with all the great epochs in the history of the Netherlands. The heir apparent is the Duke of SaxeWeimar, first cousin, once removed, of Queen Wilhelmina. The Duke is not eligible to the Holland throne, howerer, unless he resigns his position as sovereign of Saxe-Weimar. He will not do this, and as he is unmarried and childless, the throne would pass to Princess Marie of Reuss, aged 55, aunt of Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Princess Marie will probably not survive Wilhelmina, in which case, Wilhelmina's death, the Holland throne will descend to Marie's son, Prince Henry aged 27.

Dutchmen do not like the idea of baring to depend on so involved a family descent for an heir to the throne, and they partienJarly do not want to see as the ruler of their country a German. The Hollanders are suspicious that German is ambitious to secure the Netherlands, in order to obtain foothold on the North Sea, An effort is now being made by a number of Dutch politicians to have special DEROULEDE, AFTER EXILE, HAS RETURNED TO PARIS He Tried to Capture Whole French Army. PUNISHMENT FOLLOWED PLAN. Now, However, the Amnesty Act Having Been Passed, He Comes Back Home, Granted amnesty by the French Parliaagainst which he declared his hostility six years ago, Paul Deroulede, the exile, has returned to Paris. Deroulede, in other ways famous, climbed the ele of notoriety when at the funeral of President Faure in February, 1800, he attempted to capture the whole French army single-handed.

Born in Paris in 1846, he was first publicly known as a dramatist. Deroulede WAS popular hero of the Franco-Prussian war, receiring the cross of the Legion of Honor at a time when that distinction meant something, His "Songs of the Soldiers" made him popular with the PAUL DEROULEDE. masses. He queenly founded the League of Patriots, and with his followers developed a chronic habit for getting into trouble. Made a member of the Chamber of Deputies by his admirers he became so great an agitator that many regarded him as a lunatic.

This belief was strengthened when at Faure's funeral he seized the rein of the horse ridden by Gen. Roget and demanded that the army march upon the Elysee. He WAS accused of a plot against the government and finally sentenced to banishment from France. It was on the occasion of bis trial before the high court that Deroulede proclaimed his opinions, which were loudly scoffed. He said that he had not wanted to overthrow the republic, because his own principles were republican; but that he only wanted to have a republic, and did not think there was one in France.

He stated that the absolute submission which the French people had accepted before Parliament. putting all initiative and power in the hands of Senators and Deputies and intrusting them with the privileges of electing the President, opened the way to the worst of tyrannies. He prophesied that unless the people were given some voice in the administration of their affairs France would come to know a tyranny compared to which that of the ancient tyrannical kings would be as nothing, and that the day would come when the majority in Parliament wonld represent the minority of the population; that the state would be governed accordingly for, the few against the mass, and that this system would by that time be too firmly established for its overthrow to he possible without a revolution. He therefore, clamored for a reform of the constitution then and there, not sacrificing the republic, but saving it. was only two or three years Inter, when events began to.

prove how clearly he had seen, that his prophetic words were remembered. It is a fact to-day that parliamentary majority in France represents the popular minority, that the President, leaving aside what prerogatives he has. enables the Parliament to rule absolutely, M'CLELLAN SPENT NOTHING.

DEATH OF CHARLES WEIGERT. Funeral services, will be held of to afternoon remains Charles Weigert at his late residence, No.

21 Deroe street. They will be conducted by the Rev. W. Walenta, pastor of the German Emmanuel Reformed Church. His death, which occurred Monday, was due to a complication of ailments after a lingering illness.

Mr. Weigert, who had been a resident of the Eastern District for sixty years, was born in Germany, Jan, 28, 1839. He was a veteran of the Civil War, having served with the 139th Regiment of New York Volunteers as a member of Company of which the late Jacob was captain. He was a manufacturer of cigars and until he retired, about five years ago, had an establishment at No. 66 Kingsland avenue.

He was a member of the Cigarmakers' Union, No. 32, of the Eastern District, and of the German Cigarmakers' Benevolent Association. He leaves his widow, Catherine; three sons, Charles, Frank and Benjamin, and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Frising and Mrs. J.

H. Gleisch. The interment will be made in Lutheran Cemetery. TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION. An interesting example of the accuracy of modern engineering merhod is shown in a comparison recently between the actual construction of the Simplon Tunnel and the original surveys.

It will be remembered that this tunnel passes through a mountain many hundred feet beneath its summit, and in the original nans due provision had to be made for the difference of level, or the gradient between the two ends, the total length of the tunnel, the angle between the tunnel's axis and a known direction. Some of these data could be by direct measurement, but in other cases the preliminary surveys and caicalarions lad to be employed. When, however, the junetion of the tunnels from the worth and south ends was made it was found that the difference in level amounted to less than four inches. When the length was coniputed it was thought that the distance wonid amount 10 19,228.71 meters (about 13,000 feet), and the actual construction liftered from this figure by only two meters (about feet). The greatest success was the accuracy of the alignment, no deviation whatsever being detected.

One of the greatest difficulties encountered in this rock was the deviation of the plumb-line from the true vertical on account of the attraction of the mountain. This ant the different temperatures exverienced in various parts of the tunnel some of the causes contributing to make the accuracy achieved a noteworthy engiucering feat.Harper's Weekly. OUR TITLED AMERICANS. Are Americans overlavish in the distribution of titles? A correspondent thinks they are; for in America, he complains, "every one, from the President to the latest convicted burglar, seems to have a right to a titular prefex, great or small, long or short, single or compound, founded on his office, occupation, age, crimes or even some personal peculiarity." He recalls a reference in an American ewspaper to "the death of the 24-yearwife of Mr. An expression ch he says, "at once illustrates the erican fondness for titles and insinthat Mr.

Fourteen election cases were transferred. from the Court of General Sessions to the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, which was opened to-day by Justice Davy of Rochester.

The cases were put on the calendar for the purpose of having a day set for trial. Among the other election cases that figured in the Supreme Court was that of John Krup. The Attorney General declared this was a most flagrant case, in that the defendant is alleged to have voted in another man's name. Furthermore, said the Attorney General, there are others connected with this case, which makes it an important one, and I ask that the bail of $2,500 fixed by. Recorder Goff be increased to $5,000.

Attorney Levy, for Krup, said it was simply a case of illegal voting. Justice Davy replied: I come from illegal voting is a serious crime and I would never consent to have bail fixed at a nominal sum. Krup is held in $5,000 bail." ABSINTHE VICTIMS. Crimes Attributed to the Liquor in Switzerland. Crimes by absinthe drunkards are becoming so alarmingly frequent in Switzerland that the press is urging authorities to check the sale of the liquor, which may be bought at almost any village shop.

A long inquiry, concluded to-day, proved that the disastrous fire which destroyed a village near Lucerne and ruined a large number of poor families was the deliberate work of a woman of good family who is 3 confirmed absinthe drinker. She has been arrested and imprisoned. During the past few days the Swiss papers have been full of horrors due to the work of the absinthe fiend. Near Coppet, on the lake of Geneva, a farmer mur dered his young wife and children, and afterward went in triumph to tell his neighbors what he had done. At Lausanne a little girl was decapitated by brute under the influence of absinthe.

The author of a long series of mysterious outrages incendiary crimes in and the cattle near Nyon, Canton of Vaud, whose trial has just been concluded, proves to be an absinthe maniac. In the case of the six Valais guides who a few days ago brutally attacked a companion on the mountains and almost hacked him to pieces with their knives, it is now stated that they were under the influence of the fatal liquor at the time the crime was committed. At the temperance congress held at Netchatel in 1903 the French expert, Dr. Legrain, gave an interesting account of the action of the absinthe poison. After three years' absinthe drinking a man becomes weak-minded and full of ever-increasing nervous anxiety.

He grows moody, taciturn, suspicious, eccentric, untrustworthy and apt to quarrel without cause. It he continues to take the deadly liquor his body becomes a mere automaton, and he obeys without hesitation the auto-suggestions of his mind, often killing, maiming and destroying with savage glee those nearest and dearest to him. -London Express.

A famous master of Trinity College, Cambridge, had been a friend in earlier days of one Jemmy Gordon, a solicitor. But Jemmy went to the bad, was struck off the rolls and lived from what he could get from old acquaintances.

One day he met the master and asked for A shilling. "Gordon," thundered the master, "it you could show me A greater scoundrel than yourself, I would give you half a crown." And. he walked stiffly away to his rooms. In half an hour's time the butler announced that Mr. Pompous the esquire headle, wished to see the master, Now, the master bad a special detestation of the beadle, who, when admitted and curtly asked what he wanted, replied: "Mr.

Gordon informed me that you desired to see me." Said the master, "Gordon has made an ass of you." In ten minutes more the butler came again, grinning, and said: "Mr. Jemmy Gordon has called and says FOU Owe him half crown, sir." -New. castle Chronicle, SOLD OUT. One of Nantucket's summer visitors strolled into the little shop kept by an old man, a native of the place. In looking about she found a kind of linen cloth which she bought for fancy work.

Some friends who saw and like it went to the shop and purchased all that remained. In a few days the proprietor went to the "mainland" to replenish his stock, and bought more of the same goods, which, soon sold. exclaimed Uncle Hi, as the last yard went, "if any more of you folks want that stuff you can go. up ter mainland an' git it.
