Conlon still on tlio u ltncs < ? stnnd. Ills testimony wis con- flncd to detailing how certain A-oters secured their three ballots from the judges smd voted but one of them. Ho did not know whether they cnrrled the others outside or not. Ills oomnlnlnt to the Judges rivalled nothing. M. M. ClnvU , n reinihllcan until recently , was n clerk of election Ui the First district oT the Fifth ward , and the only democrat on the board. 'Jlio Judges there peddled Amer ican Protective association tickets In the booth until he protested , against it , mid. . then bundles of the tickets were left in the booth and the voters \nsA them In making up their ballots. IIo hen til a domorr.ilic dis abled voter complaining after voting because n Judge had not made up his ballot as he had requested , nnd the Judge said that the man wanted to vote the republican ticket. Ho saw ballots illegally thrown out because of blots , and thu pllo thus thrown out w.is seven inches high. Ho saw a republican ballot that had been counted and dropped on the lloor , picked up and counted again despite liis protest. Henry OstholT told of being ejected from a booth so that the election board might illegally 1111 a vacancy and organize the board in secret , and ho had hoard that a Judge In another precinct had said that forty-seven of his ballotd'had been thrown out. Jlcnv tlin Iiiili-pcnilonlH 1'iirrd. D. Clem Denver wa' the first witness called In tho-afternoon. He is an independ ent , anil swore Unit Ihuro were but three imlopwidonts on alMho boards in thu Fifth \vnn\and but twenty-three out of thu 010 in tlio whole city. Ho knew of none of the re quests that the mayor alleged to have made upon the Independents askhijr them to sub- wit names , but did know that the independ ents had tried hard to get their men on the boards in the face of great discour.igu- znonts. D.ivo ltowd.cn . , another independent , said that he hud furnished the mayor with a list 'of independents , and that official had 'liroirilseu ' that the independents should lilivo two men on each election iboard , nnd had sent him to the coun- tcilrnnn living in his ward , Mr. Hack. Back told him that the election boards wens to be madelipof republicans thisyear , Just as they were made np of democrats ayear ago , Back Is ti republican. Elsasser tried to help out the independents , 1mt did not succeed very well , The witness visited all the polls in the Fiist ward on election day and found but ono of tlio men recommended by the in dependents serving on an election board. IIo saw n republican candidate for the coun- 'll around the booths * A ith a big bunch of sample ballots , and an ofllccr refused to rc- inovo him when requested to do so. The w.ltness was refused admittance to a booth In the evening to watch the count. On a divided ruling of the notaries ho declined to answer u question on the ground that the vote was a tie and the ruling hadn't carried. Ignatius Dunn , an independent , testitled to having seen American Protective associa tion ticket peddlers working close up to the booths. What Dennis l.iinn Saw. Dennis Lane , n republican , was a chal- 'Icnger ' at one of the Fifth ward polling places , and caused the ejection of an American Pro- ttoctivo association- ticket peddler , but the follow kept at it all day on the outside near the door. IIo said that the llvo judges di vided the ballots between them during the count , and each submitted the result of his count , and these sums wore added to make the total. The ballots of illiterate or dis abled democrats were prepared by repub lican judges , who refused to show 'them to the single democrat on the board when re quested to do so. The democratic member was allowed to prepare but ono ballot. It frequently happened that the ballots were folded before the ink was dry , and the result was that another cross was made at other points on the ballot.If the voter had voted for a democrat and the blot came in a place whoro'lt cpuld bo construed into a vote for a republican it was invariably counted , but if it was the reverse tho.ballot was rejected. John Hope , nn independent challenger in the FIfst district of the Ninth ward , was the last witness. The board was made up of llvo n.'publicans , oner democrat and ono in- dependent. The witness saw American Protective association tickets peddled at the . . door of the booth. Disabled voters wore not sworn , and a blind man's ballot was prepared by his father-in-law , and neither wore sworn. A democrat who wanted assistance was RIVCII such insufticent information that after calling on the judges three times ho loft the booth in disgust without voting. Ho had bis ballot prepared on the outside , and when bo returned and attempted to vote , ho was arrested and taken tp the city jail. An adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock Monday morning , it will bo the endeavor of thu contestants to Introduce their testimony 60 as to have that relating to each , all by it self , so as to make a more Intelligible record.

They were all In the hands of the sheriff , and ho wns not In the lighting business. Tlio cause of the trouble was all on ac count of the Metropolitan Street Lighting company having failed to pay its debts. Yesterday tlio Sun Vnpor company at tached the entire plant and at once took ixwesslon , claiming that there was the sum of ? 'JGOO duo on the purchase price. During the day John II. I'rck jumped Into the legal arena and levied an attachment upon all the lamps , ] > osts , hoi sea nnd equipments of the Metropolitan com pany , alleging in his petition that there was duo from the defendant the sum of $ ldOO and that the debt grow out of the nonpay ment of a promissory note which the ofllccrs of the company had executed In order to raise money with which to purchase the plant from the Sun Vapor company. He also alleges that there is money in the pos session of the Sun Vapor company nnd that It belongs to the Metioi'olitati company. In order to get hold of the money the bun Vapor company Is made n party to tlio suit. CUIUIENCY QUESTIONS. MuH nrhttftcttn' ( 'onijrc loim Answer Om'stlom. BOSTON , Mass. . Dec. IT. The Boston Com nicrclnl today will publish the result of cor respondence with members of the New Kug- laml congressional delegation on the cur ronry and Its future. There Is substantial unanimity in favor of a substitution of more Conservative legislation for the act of ISPO. As to the future of currency there is great din'erencu of opinion. There is general opposition to the revival of state bank cir culation and the delegation , with a few exceptions , give assent to the extension of currency ( contracted by the repeal of the Sherman act ) by the amendment of the national banking laws , rather than through state banks. cu.\'Tin > ri.\ urEitr j-or.vr.

[ Special Tele gram to Tin : Ben. ] The supreme court this monilnp overruled the motion to quash the alternative writ of mandamus issued In vaca- tiilR by the chief Justice , Judge Vande- vantcr , counsel for the rcsnonniMits , then submitted two motions lioarlng on the case. The llrst WAS u motion to strike out a p.irt of the petition of the rolntors on the ground it had no bearing on the case , the other to ro- qutro the relatora to luako their pleadltigs more dcllnite. The latter motion was intended to compel the relaters to vccosnizo some ono as gov ernor. They had not done so and u canvass would bo illegal unless done in the governor's presence. Tlio desire was to get an opinion of the court as to who was governor. The two motions will be argued Monday mo'rn- lllillium'n .Apportionment . Unconstitutional. lNDiANAi'OU3 , Iiid. , Dee. 17. The Indiana supreme court today decided unconstitu tional the apportionment act passed by the democratic legislature of two years ago , under the provisions of which the legislature which will meet next month was chosen. The finding is that the apportionment laws of 18'Jl , 1S85,1870 arc all unconstitutional , but the court also finds that there is a dc- facto legislature elected and qualified to en act a law which may take the place of the law sot aside. Colored ropulisN OrKtuilro. TorcKA , Ivan. , Dec. 17. Twenty-five col ored men of this state met hero today to form a colored mcns brotherhood of the people's party. They propose to have an or ganization In every county. This is part of the general plan of the populist organiza tion. It-Has Gome To This That every successful , meritor ious article has its imitations. This is a grave injustice , for the genuine pure article will often be judged by the imita tion. No preparations require for their manufacture more care and skill , more 'costly and purer materials , than Flavoring Extracts , v In this instance cheap mater ials mean inferior flavors. Dr. Price's Delicious Flavor ing Extracts have won their way to public confidence by the pure and costly materials used , the new processes em ployed for extracting from the fruits their natural flavor ing principles. In using Dr. Price's Orange , Lemon , Vanilla or other flavors the housewife will never fail to obtain the grateful flavor desired. nnyn'Q ' MEW I CHEAP DUIU 0 THRME.i PRIDES. LAST TIME.
