aa I was ; there were no votes recorded that
were net represented by some individual ;
the voting waa rapid at times and we had

times, but did net stay long ; I entered the
names from Cslder's poll book of these who
voted when I get back ; I did net record
any names that were net called out ; I could
see outside as far as the pavement and these
outside could soe In ; tbere was a beard in

seen ; I did net see any votes thrown aside
that afternoon ; I did net see Qeorge A.
lane vote ; everything that was done in
the polling booth was regular; the polls
closed at 7 o'clock; I think the watchers
were In and out during the afternoon ; alter
the polls closed I picked up my book, one
of the officers picked up the ballet box, but
who I cannot ssy ; the one who had the
box went ahead ; I mingled with the outside
crowd and talked te some ; I went te the

room where the votes were te be counted ;
all the officers were in the room when I get

and Barnholt ; the box was en a table
some distance away from the lunch table ;
I took a cup of coffee and while I was walk
ing up and down the room the box was
opened and the tickets were being sorted
out ; 1 paid no attention te the sorting ;
Mr, Calder and I were busy tilling up the
beading for the tally and return sheets ;
they had a long and short ticket ; Shaub
said he would call the short tickets In tens
and we se recorded tbem ; Bbaub then
called the long tlcketa and Calder and 1 re
corded them as they wero read ; I waa net
out of the room at all ; Mr. Calder wentent
te meet a relative coming from New Yerk ;
Calder was net gene half an hour ; Calder
and Brown changed off clerking because
Calder'a eyes hurt him ; I recorded votes
faithfully as they were called ; I did net
record any that were net called out ; I did
net see any ballets put in the
box exept what went in in the regu
lar manner ; I did net have any
conversation with any of the four defen
dants about being an election officer; I did
net conspire with them or any et them te
make a fraudulent return ; alter the count I
compared my tally with that of Brown and
Calder and we agreed; the ballets and some
papers were put in the box after the count
was gene through;, it was said that the box
would be given te Aldermen Deen, but
I did net see anybody give It te htm, 1
put en my coat and hat and went out ;
Brown and Calder walked with me as far
as the Examiner1 office, but it was closed
and we then went up East King te Duke
and then home ; the Examiner Is a head
quarters ter Republican returns ; 1 think
several parties present at the olese of the
count took a memeranda of the votes cast
for the different candidates. 1 did net get
out of the bouse from the time I went home
until iate en Sunday afternoon; I did net see
any ether of the officers en Bund ay ; the first
intimation I had of a dliorepaney as te the
vote cast for Menlzer was en Monday morn
ing when the return Judges met ; Id id net
conspire te commit a fraud en any of the
candidates ; 1 de net knew anything of
stuffing the ballet box; I did net conspire te
de anything illegal for the benefit of any of
the candidates ; I faithfully oenducted the
election and protected It from all frauds, te

TflURSDAT EVENING'S FIItK.
Qcergs Sctalett's Stibla enClsy Street De
stroyed Wltn Its Contest.
An alarm of fire was sounded abent 7
o'clock Thursday evening. It was caused
by the burning of a frame stsble owned by
Geerge Bchlett, and situated en his let en
Olsy street, nesr Duke. Tha nearest alarm
box te tbe fire was Ne. 48, at Olsy and
North Queen streets, which was struck.
This wss net sufficient for some of the parties
who always knew everything and box 40, at
Frederlck and Duke, was also struck.
This manner of mixing np the boxes baa
tbe effect of confusing tbe firemen, but last
evening's fire made a bright light and the
department bad no trouble In locating it
On account of a lame horse oempany Ne. 4
were unable te get their engine te tbe fire.
Ner. 1 and 3 were In serviee, and they ex
tinguished the flames alter the building bad
been almost entirely consumed. The stable
was about 30x40 feet In slzs and In it wss a
let of straw, about 2S worth of tobacco, a
small quantity of lumber, besides forks,
rakes, hoes and ether Implements. Tbe
building was valued at 1300 and lhire was
no Insurance en it or the con ten tr. Emanuel
Sbrelner, a neighbor, bad been keeplng his
horse in tbe stsble, but tbe animal hsd been
taken ent last evening Just before tbe fire
broke out. A man named Ehrbarr, living
near by, was the first te discover the fire.
It was then confined te tbe southwest
corner et tbe building, and, although small
at first, increased quite rapidly. There is
no doubt that the building wan set en fire.

Geerge Watsen and Jebn Stevenson, two
Welsh mountain colored men of yny bad
reputations. The former Is serving a term
for larceny and the latter for horse steeling,
Up te Thursdsy they occupied cell Ne. C9,
en tbe upper.tler. Fer some time psst these
men have been behaving yery badly and
have Insisted upon msklng a noise, talking
across the oerrldor, Ae. Oa Wednesdsy,
by wsy of punishment, they were "ebalked"
that ls,thelr cell deer was closed and (hey
were put upon bread and water. Thurs
day, during visiting hours, between 1 and 4
o'clock In tbe afternoon, tbe prisoners made
a great deal el noise, and besides, talking
loudly they played the mouth organ. The
offlesrs concluded net te Interfere with
them until the visiting hour were ever,
after 4 o'clock. Underkeepet Bproeherand
Murr, and Watchman Caldwell went up te
the cell occupied by Watsen and Stevenson.
Thsy had Intended te take out the beds and
tables used by the prisoners, In order te
mske their punishment mere aevere,
When Spreeher opened the cell deer he
feuudtbat Wstaen and hla companion were
both armed with bricks, They delled the
officers te coma In and aaid they would
only be taken out dead, Watsen threw hi
brick atSprccber,whe was standing lu front
of the cell deer. It almost struek the effieer
and fell en the banisters, where it waa
broken. Watsen at once picked up another
brlek, whleb he hsd intended te threw,
Bpreeher wss tee quick for him, as he drew
his revolver and fired at the desperate man.
He did net Intend te kill blm.but aimed for
his legs and Intended te Injure him, Tbe
ball did net strike Watsen, but 11 was
unoemfortably close te him. When
Prison-Keeper .Smith heard the report of
tbe pistol he ran te the scene
of the trouble. He told the offleer
te go no further and would net allow them
te enter the cell. There was no mere
