"Now. lets see you run the machine.1 aald Mr. Astor. and the fireman opened the door of the furnace and began to shovel In tho coal. The big locomotive gave a few preliminary puffs and snorts and ground out on the trip toward Louisville at the rate of fifty miles an hour.

The eyes of the well-dressed cab passenger sparkled. He made two or three motions as If to take hold of tho lever, but desisted. Finally he said to the engineer: Lend me your cap. Sir, answered the engineer, with look cf surprise. "Lend me your want to run thla engine, he repeated.

LANAHAN A Baltimore. Mi. W. A. Kimberly; The Well Known Brooklyn Divine Believes the Ex-Boss Should Ee Pardoned.

THINKS MORTON SHOULD ACT. Preacher Utterances Create a Sea cation bat Give Friends of tko Convict Great Hope. NEW TORK, Oct. 27. A sensation has been created by a sermon preached last night In the Hanson Place Baptist church by Rev.

A. C. Dixon. The subject of the sermon was: "Should John Y. Mo-Kane Be Pardoned? He followed the discourse that held the close attention of a -large congregation for an hour by a prayer for McKane's pardon.

In hls remarks he said: "Justice Gaynbr. who had as much to do as any one with sending John Y. Me Kane to prison, has asked for hls pardon; so has the district attorney. John Y. McKano wee guilty of a great crime.

There was a law against stuffing the bal lot against one man voting more than once, against putting In fraudulent ballots, and that law waa violated by some of the underlings of McKane. "McKane waa taught a lesson on the violation of law, and If you ask my candid opinion, I say that the atmosphere would be mightily cleared If some men right here In Brooklyn today could be sent to occupy tha cell of McKane for the next two years. "I believe McKane should be pardoned. He la Buffering unjustly. He has been disgraced.

Hls family and hla frlenda are suffering, and these self-righteous fellows who advocate the very same thing for which he was sent to prison did all they could to send him there, and are doing all they can to keep him there. What we need la the vindication of law." At the close of hla sermon he offered a prayer. In which he asked for the blessing, of God upon McKane In hla prison, upon hla wife and children, and also called upon God to impress the governor o( the etate that ae may bring about hls pardon. The friends of the ex-boss have taken new courage, and today hundreds of pet! tlons are floating through New York state, calling upon Governor Morton to pardon the convict. It ia probable that McKane will be a free man within tha next ten days.

27. The calendar of the New York state court of appeals for today eontalna ono of the most Interesting cases heard in some time by that august body, and which affects large numbers of colleges and schools of any standing In tha country, aa well as -many hospitals. The caeo Is the matter of a contest of the will of Daniel Fayerweather, in which ho left (2.150,000 to these colleges: Bowdoln, Dartmouth, Wil liams, Amherst, Wesleyan, Yale, Columbia, Union Theological Seminary, Hamilton, Rochester, Cornell, Lafayette, Lincoln, University of Hampton, Maryville, Marietta, Adelbert, Wabash and Park. This was under the ninth clausa of the will. Cornell and Columbia each receiving S200.000.

Yale ,300,000 and the others from $50,000 to (100,000. The Residue of His Estate. Under the tenth clause he left the residue of his estate, which amounted to about (3,000,000, to the same colleges, share end share alike. In a codocll of the will, however, the testator changed this residuary bequest, leaving the residue absolutely to the -trustees. A contest was begun on the grounds that thla absolute bequest was Illegal and thereupon the trustees made a so-called gift.

In which they announced that they had distributed the residue of the estate among certain colleges and hospitals aa follows: "Woman's Hcspital and Cooper Union, (200,000 each; Yale, (150.000; New York Uhi-verslty. Union Harvard, Princeton, North western University, Rutgers, and Bernard, $100,000 each; University of Wesleyan.

Monteliore Home and New York Cancer Hospital, 825,000 each; Mount Blnal Hospital, 815,000.

Total. 3.140.000. -'jne decision entirely Ignored Bowdoln, Dartmouth, AVllllama, Rochester, Amherst, Columbia, Hamilton, Cornell, University of Virginia, Hampton and Adelbert. The trustees of Dartmouth, Hamilton and Williams colleges, and the University of Virginia thereupon contested the validity of (he deed of gift and Judge Truax set It as hie, holding that the residue should be distributed to the 20 colleges under the tenth clause of the will as Jf the codicil had pbt existed. 1 Tbo Decision Confirmed.

The general term confirms this decision unanimously. Judge Follette and Chief Justice Van Brunt both wrote opinions. Justice Parker concurred In the opinion of Justice Follette. who says that the defendants, Thomas G. Rltch and Henry 11.

Vaughn for themselves and on the part of Justice L. Bulkeley, Induced Fayerweather to believe that it he would make the residuary legatees of the estate as provided for In the codicils, they would sell and convert the residuary estate Into cash and divide the same equally among the 20 colleges mentioned In the ninth paragraph of the will, and that Mr. Fayerweather died convinced that the trustees would do tale, but that they attempted to dispose of the residuary estate in violation of theso promises. The defendant truatees backed by the schools and hospitals recognised by them new contest the general terms opinion. A brilliant array of counsel will be present tomorrow to argue the case apd the decision will bo looked forward to with great Interest.

MMalSra STRENGTHENING TONIC THE GENUINE BRANDED WITH THE RED PYRAMID In Case of a Landslide Either Wa the Result on Tuesday Will Be Known Early. THE COUNT MAY BE DELAYED ftotti Tbit Will Sleet Governors ud Iciiilatarci oa the Day of the National Elea tlon.

WASHINGTON, Ort. 27. The presl-dcntlnl election of Torulny, Nov. next, will tie tit-11 undiir conditions which have never l-fore prevullrd, and which will render the official count a matter of difficulty and unuaual delay. (Ilnna the Inat presidential contest almost every state which had not then adopted the Australian ballot system has by state enactment prescribed some form of secret blanket ballot, either baaed on (ho Australian plan or closely resembllmr It.

The only exceptions are Georgia, Jxtulslana, North Carolina and South Carolina. In the first three states named (lie old open ballot system prevails. In South Carolina there Is what Is called a "reform ballot" the avowed purpose of which Is to restrict the votes of Illiterate negroes. In nearly all the other states blanket ballots will be cast, and In many of them the count will he complicated by (lie fact that stele, legislative and county nominations are printed on the mma ballot with the names of presidential electors. Connecticut has an envelope system, and New Jersey prints each party ticket upon a separata ballot.

In Close States. In states like Nebraska, for Instance, where, according to conservative opinion, there may not be a margin of 6,000 Votes either way, it may be Impossible to arrive at a correct Judgment until all the back counties sre heard from. The polls In the cities close at 4 p. but In the country districts keep ojien till p. m.t and with a governor, a legislature and county officers to elect, all on ono ballot.

It will take at least six hours to complete the count. Some Idea of the general trend of the votes In Ohio may be obtained from the result of the counties In which Cincinnati and Cleveland sre respectively situated, and these results will probably tie known comparatively earlier. The doubtful points are Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties. Chicago will control Illinois. There will be no doubt of the outcome when the vote of Cook county Is recorded.

But In other doubtful states, like Indiana, Michigan and Kansas, where stata and legislative tickets also complicate the ballots, there will probably tie no keynote from which the result, can be definitely determined until Tuesday night unless should prove a landslide. In that case mid-day may give a clear Idea who are the vlctora and who the vanquished. Otherwise there may bo many hours of anxious suspense. 1 no last presldentla 1 elections hare been singularly free from uncertainty. It wsa known by 11 p.

m. on election day In IfcKH that Mr. Harrison had defeated Mr. Cleveland, and It was known with equal certainty at 11 p. m.

on election day In U9! that Mr. Cleveland had defeated Mr. Harrison. Hut In the election of 1884, when Mr. Cleveland defeated Mr.

Blaine, the official result hung In doubt over the vote of New York for days. Another Element of Difficulty. TY. The fusion tickets will add a further element of dlffleulty In the presidential count thla year. Fusion has been arranged between the Iopullsts and the Democrats on ths electoral ticket In every Democratic state but Tennessee, Mississippi.

Georgia. Alabama, Florida and Texa. In several of the southern states, while there has been no formal fusion between the Itepubllcana and Populists on state legislatures and congressmen, local arrangements have been made that amount to fusion and will have more or less to do with the result. The following states will elect governors on Nov. 3 Colorado.

Connecticut, XVdaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana. Kansas, Massachusetts (seven vacancies), Michigan. Minnesota. Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota. Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West.
