A REPUBLICAN PLOT. both in numbers of men and excellence of artillery, is, apparently, a complete surprise to the British military authorities. Mail news from South Africa shows how inaccurate have been the estimates of the intelligence department and the governmental experts. It is gleaned therefrom that a fair estimate of the Boer forces is as follows: Around Ladysmith, traversing Zulu land, advancing on Burghersdorp, Colesburg, Kimbcrlcy, 7.000: Maf eking, 4,500, and on the northern Transvaal border, 2,000. Exact information about the Boer artillery is lacking, but it is known that General Joubert's detachment, before it was reinforced, consisted of sixteen Krupp ELECTION NIGHT BULLETINS.

Until a few months apo the medical profession, as well as the public at lai ge. have alwa3 hellevetl that food was digested in the stomach; but thanks to science, they are now enabled to follow the whole process of digestion with their own eyeg from the moment food enters the mouth until it is taken into the system, or carried off throuKh the bowels.

Heretofore all remedies for the cure of dyspepsia have been given with the idea of assisting the stomach to digest food, and the discovery that this organ does not digest it at all explains the cause of their failure to cure the disease, and Its constant increase in spite of the thousand and one remedies used. Another and equally important discovery was also made; that there are three distinct kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require different remedies, and the remedy for one must be exactly opposite to that of the other in character. For instance, acid dyspepsia requires an alkaline treatment; indigestion an acid treatment; these combined and given in one dose neutralize each other, consequently, cannot be given together with effect. The third and most dangerous of all (intestinal dyspepsia) requires a germicide which must be harmless, and yet strong enough to destroy tin; bacilli which cause the disease. Understanding this and knowing that they possess the only germicide which can be taken internally without injury (Ilyomei) the R.

Covington, Xovember 7 A clash between the United States and the local authorities took place to day. United States Commissioner Finnell issued warrants for toe arrest of Chief of Police Pugh, Lieutenant Schwinfurth and five policemen on the charge of unlawfully ejecting from the pollis challengers and inspectors representing the interests of John Young Brown, the independent Democratic candidate for governor.

Leading citizens of Covington, fearing violence, have asked Governor Kradlcy for troops. Louisville, November 7 The election is passing off quietly in Kentucky. Despite the predicted trouble at the polls over the contemplated displacement of election officers there was an entire absence of anj' serious disturbance up to 11 o'clock. An average vote is polled throughout the state, but indications are that it will fall 50,000 short of the vote polled in the presidential election. Some complaints have been made at the Republican headquarters, from several border counties, that the regular Republican election officers were displaced at the last minuts and net permitted to serve.

No trouble has resulted, however. The armory of the Louisville Legion was alive with bluecoats at an early hour, while at the City Hall scores of policemen were in readiness for any emergency.

make a stand there. Estcourt is the last important town between the Boers and the capital of Natal; and if the Boers sweep past Estcpurt nothing can stop them from laying seige to Pietermaritzburg, which cannot be expected to make a protracted defense, while its fall would be a tremendous blow to British prestige throughout South Africa. Already the British retirement south of Colenso has given the Boers an opportunity to make a bid for the active support of the disaffected Dutch in Natal by 'proclaiming the annexation of the upper Tugela section. Thus far the Dutch colonists seem to have confined their sympathy with the invading Boers to a Platonic emotion. Except for surreptitious assistance there is no evidence that they have yet joined the Boers openly in any appreciable numbers.

The reported British retirement from Stormberg Junction, however, will be followed doubtless by a similar Boer proclamation annexing the portions of Cape Colony lying directly south of the Orange Free State. These proclamations, as in the case of Bechuanaland, have been anil will be immediately followed by British counter proclamations; but, to the eyes of the Dutch farmers, the presence of one Boor commando Is probably more impressive than the expectation of the arrival of the whole British army in the more or less distant future. The Daily Mail publishes the following dispatch from Klmberley. dated Wednesday, by way of Hopetown, Saturday, November 4: "This morning the Boers fired' the veldt near Dronfield. seven miles from Klmberley, and this afternoon the flames set on fire the smaller of the two magazines, exploding the dynamite with a terrific report.

Fortunately no one was injured. The veldt is still burning and it is feared that the larger magazine, where there are 1,200 cases of dynamite, will be ignited." English. Say They "Whipped the Boers. Pietermaritzburg, Natal, November 4 The General commanding the line of communication with Maritzburg has arrived with his staff at Estcourt. Telegraphic communication north of Estcourt is entirely stopped.

The natives report that the Boers received a crushing blow at Ladysmith Thursday. This is not officially confirmed but It Is generally believed. Later The British forces at Ladysmith, it "now eppears, wero engaged twice successfully, on Thursday and on Friday. It is reported that the cavalry scored heavily and that the infantry did great execution with hayonets. the Gordon Highlanders carrying the principal Boer position at the point of the bayonet.

The Boers lost heavily in killed and "wounded and a number surrendered. The Retreat From Colenso. Estcourt, Natal, Friday. November 3 Colenso is now in the hands of the Boers. Before the evacuation was decided upon, the enemy tried to rut off our outposts.

The Durban Light Infantry under Lieutenant Moly neux, and a force of Dublin Fusiliers were sent to the relief of the outposts, and a brisk fight ensued. The Boer3 were repulsed leaving twelve dead. Twenty Boer horses were killed and the others stampeded. The chief motive for the withdrawal, however, was that the long range guns of the Boers had made the position untenable. No orders were received for retirement.

During the retreat the Natal volunteers at Fort Wylie had great difficulty in getting away their nine pounder in the dark. They were advised to spike the gun, but were exceedingly unwilling to do this, resolving to make a determined effort to take it with them. While they were running the gun on Its carriage down a hill the ropes broke and gun and carriages rushed on. the latter being smashed at the bottom of the Incline. Nothing daunted, the plucky fellows undertook to carry the weapon itself, which had not been damaged, and they got it here safely.

The Boers shelled Colenso camp at dawn to day. being apparently unaware of the evacuation. They looted the stores, but did not harm the bridges, that they would want the railway themselves. The women and children here are crowding the trains bound for Pietermaritzburg and Durban. Natives Greatly Excited.

Aliwa! North, Saturday, November 4 A Boor commsrulo is now located at Governor's Drift, up the river, and is reported to be about to cross into the colony, probably to Join the Bethulle burghers now in the colony. The natives are greatly excited in the distracts near the Drift. Many Basutos have been discovered to ponsess and guns where none of the weapons was known to be previously. British Contempt for Burghers Chastened by Defeat. London, November 7 Such scanty intelligence as Is filtering from the front is generally accepted hero as reassuring, although the later reports agree that the fighting outside I Ladysmith on Thursday and Friday was much more severe than Indicated by the official ac counts.

There is no longer such a disposition I to jump at the conclusion that a crushing blow has been inflicted on the Boers as was shown before. British contempt for the Burghers has been chastened by defeat. I There is a widespread recrudescence of the fear that the authorities are badly blundering i and may find too late that the main expedition Trill prove too weak to complete its task with safety and dispatch, as the Natal force has already admittedly failed to perform what was expected ot it. The confession yesterday evening of General Lord Wolseley, the commander In chief, that the Boers were more" powerful and more numerous than had been anticipated sufficiently explains the present happenings, and tne War will hereafter have awkward questions to in regard to its apparent co lossal Ignorance of the Boer strength, whichj FiiMoIn I I DECLARES Mil.

He Predicts All Around Majorities in Manhattan and a Snowstorm for Mazet. THE VOTE IS A HEAVY ONE Half the Vote Cast in One Assembly District at 10 o'clock This Morning. Tammany Hall had a graveyard quietude this morning and was deserted by all offl cials, except the law committee, to which only one case had been referred up to the noon hour. Richard Croker came down at 11 o'clock, after casting his vote at the precinct on Park avenue, between Seventy fourth and Seventy fifth streets. "This Is an Ideal day for Tammany," said the chief.

"I have heard thus far of no trou ble and do not think there will be any. I have no doubt about the result in any district and, as for Mazet, Stewart's plurality will be larger than his total vote. Wc will win in the Nineteenth by at least 2,000." Some one told Mr. Croker that there was a prediction that Grell would run behind his ticket. "Don't be afraid of that," he answered.

"There will be no trouble about Grell. He will get the majority coming to the rest of the ticket." Soon after Mr. Croker voted this morning his son, Frank, came up to the same booth and put in his ballot. Congressman Sulzer, who is on the Tammany law committee, came down to see Mr. Croker and the two had a long talk.

Mr. Sulzer said there had been no trouble in" his district. He had heard of no excitement, in fact, except the arrest of four men by McCullagh in Mazet's district. This incident was insignificant. John T.

Oakey, the Councilman, who is leader in the Fourteenth District, had a task to secure the release of nine men arrested by order of Chief Devery. It was reported to him that these men had been arrested and he went at once from his headquarters to the scene, where he found nine ot his own vot ters corralled. It required a long talk with Chief Devery over the telephone to convince him that the men should not be held and were in every way eligible to vote. Durine the morning Councilman Oakley made three tours of his district and, save in the Incident of arrest of his nine' men, discovered no He was at Tammany about noon to see Mr. Croker and Congressman Sulzer.

Someone asked Mr. Croker if he had voted the straight Democratic ticket. "Yes, sir," he replied, "amendments and all." Mr. Croker was asked why he had taken so long to vote. It was said he remained in the election booth five minutes.

Once he came out arid spoke in a whisper to the chairman of the election booth. Mr. Croker explained that this interview concerned the constitutional amendments. This was the first time, he said, he had ever voted for such an amendment and he wanted to be sure to be right. Republican and Democratic state headquarters were practically closed this morning, only a few clerks being at both places.

It was said at Republican county headquarters that Grell was running behind his ticket. The election of O'Brien for Sheriff was predicted. The completion of police arrangements for the election" was the first indication of activity in Manhattan this morning. Chief Devery reached his office at 5:30 A. M.

and proceeded to fill whatever demands were made from the various boroughs. It was found necessary to send extra men to the Boroughs of Brooklyn, Richmond and Queens, where shortages were reported. Twenty five vacancies in the ranks of the election inspectors were reported from the various boroughs and these were immediately filled by substitutes. Every prepara tion was made to meet possible trouble in the precincts and two hundred extra policemen from the court squads were held in reserve at Police Headquarters. At the various polling places, balloting was very active, In the early part of the morning, the fine weather contributing to get out an early vote.

Harlem was especially energetic and in that section of the city, by 9 o'clock, a large percentage of the vote had been cast. The earlier indications of the day showed that the vote was likely to approach extraordinarily close to the registration figures. There were scarcely any disturbances at the polling places. A slight difficulty between Superintendent McCullagh and Captain Hass lacher over the arrest of a would be voter enlivened things for a shor time In the Eighteenth Assembly District. In the First Assembly District the dwollers on Ellis', Bedloe's and Governor's Islands, appeared early to cast their votes.

In the Fifth Assembly District Postmaster Van Cott and Bernard F. Martin worked hard all day, on the vote for Assembbjruan, each being at a late hour this afternoon sanguine of success. In the Twenty ninth Assembly District, Joseph F. Daly, fusion candidate for justice of the Supreme Branch, cast his vote at an early hour, and at 9:30 was followed by Seth Low, who votes in the Twelfth Precinct of the same Assembly District. In the Twenty fourth Assembly District William J.

O'Brien, the fusion candidate for sheriff of New York County, cast his vote at 7:30. His example seems to have been emulated, for by 10 o'clock half the registered vote of the district had been cast. In the Twenty fifth District Fire Commissioner Scan nell and Charles A. Hess, were actively at work for their respective candidates for Assembly. A heavy vote was indicated in the Thirty fifth Assombly District and the Annexed District at 10 o'clock this morning.

There were several arrests for Illegal registration in these sections, but in all cases it was shown mistakes bad been made and the men were discharged. AUTOMOBILE TRUST CERTAIN. Promoters Gathered in Manhattan Admit a Purpose to Form One With 3200,000,000 Capital. Rumors of a trust which would include all interests connected with the automobile have been partially verified by the presence of Eleazer Kempshall of Boston at the Waldorf Astoria and frequent appearances of Homer W. Hedge, secretary of the Automobile Club, and of the Studebaker Bros, of Indiana at the same hotel.

Mr. Kempshall Is the patentee and owner of some of the most valuable types of rubber tires made in this country and the Studebaker Bros, are among the largest makers of carriages. Mr. Kempshall was seen at the Waldorf Astoria this morning and said that he would be here for tho rest of the week to look out for his interests In the proposed trust. He said that so far nothing had really been accomplished, but It was proposed to form a trust with a capital of $200,000,000, which would control tho manufacture and output of all vehicles of that description.

Further than that Mr. Kempshall would not talk and seemed rather annoyed that the matter had become public at all. During the week there will be Informal conferences, commencing to day, and in all probability there will be decided steps taken before Saturday that will insure the success of the project. MASKED ROBBERS GET $1,700. Apollo, November 7 Five masked men forced their way into the home of Daniel Wilson, an aged farmer of Rural Village, last night, and after binding and gagging Wilson and his four sisters, took $1,700 in gold and bills which Wilsou had concealed.

The robbers then departed leaving their victors still found, and it was several hours before they were able to give the alarm.

William Kramer, Cltyv Magistrate, Second Division, City of New York. State of New York, Borough of Brooklyn, County of Kings, Alfred L. Westbers, being duly sworn, dt poaas and oaye: I am now residing at S3 Boerum place, in Brooklyn. On or about, the 20th day of October, in the night, I met by appointment, a man by the name cf Frank Mallon, who lives at 76 Fourth street, Erooklyn, at the Clarendon Hotel, by appointment. I had Mr.

Mallon before thla and he had told me that there was lots of money (ioatlnj; about and that I could make good money and that he would put me in a way of making it. On that occasion he also told me that what he wanted me to do was to register In every district that I could register and to get men and take them along with me and register them as often as I could. This meeting at the Clarendon Hotel was for the purpose of coming to a complete understanding as to how I should work and where. He also told me I could not only make this money but that after election, if I would comtj around, I would be able to secure a position by doing what he said. When I met him at tho Clarendon Hotel he told me to go out and "do the trick," and then I went and registered as Richard Johnson from 323 Court street, as John Harris from 303 Court street, and as Alfred Gerue of 229 Hoyt street.

These names and addressee, together with the polling places where I would have to go to register, were clven to me bv Mr. Mallon. written on a card. Mr. Mallon got them from Mr.

William neaney, wno nae a saioon at tne corner ol jlh? graw and Court streets. I think his first name Is William. I saw Mr. Heaney take the list of names and the addresses out of his pocket and Mallon, in Heaney's presence, handed them to me. I then went and regietered.

giving the names and addresses as they had instructed me to do. The list of names he hand ed over at the Mutual Bottling Company on Boerum plac near Bergen fitreet; before this, however, Heaney had given Mallon five dollars, of which Mallon gave me two. This Is all the money I have received to date from Mr. Mallon or Mr. Heaney.

At the meeting that I have spoken about, Mallon told me that there was no trouble about doing this: that he had worked the primaries for Mr. Michael J. Dady and 'had taken twenty men and registered them one thousand times. After had registered I went to oee Michael J. Daily.

I said to Mr. Dady, "I have dene the trick for you, Mr. Dady. through Mr. Mallon.

and now I want some money." Mr. Dady said to me "You will have to see Mr. Mallon." whom I and he (Mallon) told me' that he had no money. Then I went and saw ex Assemblyman William Sandford. I told Sandford what I had done and told him what 1 wanted and Sandford said he would see Michael J.

Dady for me. After that I saw Mr. Sandford and he told me that he had Been Mr. Dady and that Mr. Dady had given him three dollars to be given, to me and had eald that he.

Mr. Dady, would look after me till after electipn. Mr. Sandford then gave me three dollars. Sandford gave me this money in Otten'a saloon at 348 Fulton street.

He changed a Ave dollar bill and gave me three out of it. ALFRED L. WESTBEKG. Sworn to before me this Gth day of November 1SP9. William Kramer, City Magistrate.

7G Fourth street. was introduced to Mr. Mallon by Mr. tVestberg. This introduction was made at the hotel at No.

197 Washington street, where I am living. Mr. Mallon came there, so he told me. to see Mr. Westberg.

After I had been introduced to Mr. Mallon he treated us to drinks. I heard Mr. Mallon ask Mr. Westberg to register as often as he could and to get other men to do It, and hoard him tell Mr.

Westberg that there was lots of money floating about, and that he would show him how to make It. Mr. Mallon also told Mr. Westberg that he had taken'twenty men for Mr. Dady and registered them one thousand times for the primaries.

I was also present when Westberg mot Mallon at the Clarendon Hotel on Friday night, the 20th of October. There Mallon told Westberg to go ahead and "do the trick." Mallon said that he would pay to Westberg $15 for every man whose registration was repeated according to his instructions. Sworn to before mo this Gth day of November, 1809. CHAS. T.

HANDS. Wm, Kramer, City Magistrate. "You are charged," said the magistrate, addressing the prisoner, "with having paid money to induce Alfred L. westberg to register illegally. "What have you to say?" "No," replied Mallon.

"It Is not "Do you wish to have this case go on now or do you desire to procure counsel and have an adjournment?" asked the magistrate. "I want counsel and an adjournment," an swered the prisoner, who was evidently posted as to his course of procedure. "I snould like an adjournment until, say, next Tuesday." "The bail is $1,000 and case adjourned until Tuesday the 14th, for hearing," decided Magistrate Brenner, as he so marked the papers and tossed them over to the clerk. The bail of the friend who had been brought to court by Mallon was not satisfactory and a messenger was sent for Timothy J. Dyson, a well known business man, who promptly furnished the necessary bond.

Mr. Dyson said that Mallon was well known to him and added that he was glad to go on the bond. The bail was satisfactory and the prisoner was perm itted to go. Dady Says It Is a Democratic Trick. Michael J.

Dady was seen this morning and made this statement: "This was a clever trick on the part of the Democrats, as they discovered when they tried to get a warrant for my arrest. The McCullagh men were aware of the trap we had laid to get warrants for this floating vote. We laid a trap for thirty or forty of them and we had our man actually accept many of them, but while we were thus employed one of the men peached. This will prevent the arrest of a number of illegal voters, who will now be afraid to turn up at the polls." Deputy Kelley of McCullagh's forces practically indorsed Dady's statements. Same Names Registered in Different Places.

Robert H. Elder had a list of names this morning which is being investigated by the Democrats. The list contains opposite each name two residences.

The foot ball game this morning at Washington Park between the crack Belmont Athletic Club team and the strong eleven of the Sedgewick Field Club resulted in a 00 tie after two twenty minutes halves of gilt edge foot ball. Although both sides did their best, neither could cross their oppo nent's goal line before time was called.

The Sedgewicks had a little the best of the first half, rushing the hall steadily down the field to Belmont's 20 yard line. There Belmont braced and the ball went to them on downs. In the latter part of the second half the Sedgewick team weakened and the Belmonts began to push them back for steady gains. The ball was soon on Sedgewick's 10 yard line when the timekeeper announced two minutes more to play. Although the Belmonts lined up at once and made a slight gain, time was called before the ball could be pushed over.

I look back now to my boyhood days in the old church when that saintly priest, Dr. William H. Lewis, was pastor and example to his flock. It seems a far away distant time, and through the intervening years the earnest, faithful, steady life of the parish, under the scholarly direction of Dr. Littlejnhn.

and the vigorous, noble leadership of Dr. Hall made its helpful advance for souls and for ail righteousness. Under your direction Holy Trinity finds Itself equipped for the modern methods of service and progress. The transformation of buildings, the rare adornment of the sanctuary the opportunity for a richer and more glorious musical worship these agencies will, with your plans and methods, become living factors In the spiritual uplift of the people of your care, and in the goodly city where our Lord has placed you. My remembrance Is today one of sanctified affection for the shrine beloved.

I think of a long line of good men and holy women who served their Master In its courts, and who now rejoice In Paradise In the presence of the King. May the conscious fidelity of these servants of Christ in the past history of your parish be consecrated stimulus for those who now stand by your side, and for the generations to come after you. Blessings rest upon you and upon Holy Trinity Is the prayer and desire of vour friend, WILLIAM ANDREW LEONARD. Rev. Dr.
