This line waa composed of voters rf both

Merrer people spoke to a single man In
the line. Policeman Ruiwll from time to
lime would call men known to be for Mer
cer oul of the line and lake them Into the
rolling place through the back door, where
they were permitted to vole ahead of those
who bad stocd In line fcr nearly an hour.
The anti-Mercer men proteMed against this
for the reason that It was a question of
time. It being Impossible to poll 1,000 votes
daring the time the polli were opened. Rus
sell admitted that he had taken men Into
the polling place through the back door,
but said that be had a right to do It. Later
In th evening a member of the force gave
himself and the board away. A voter of
the ward approached the polling place while
the count was In progress and was stopped
by the policeman. He protested and asked
to be admitted. The policeman was in doubt
and said he would see about It. The "seeing
about It" consisted in calling upon John

half the republican vote of the ward. The

test was counted did the tense feeling
which had' prevailed from the opening of
the poll subside. The crowd lingered un

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 Secretary of
the Navy Moody today made public the fol
lowing cablegram received from Commander
McLean of the pavr, In command of the
United States naval forces on the Isthmus:
COLON. Pept. 19 Seoretnry nf the Navy.
Washington: HaVe sent following commu
nication to hot h par tie :
"I have to inform you that the United
States naval forces' are guarding the rall
wy trains and Jtnee of transit across the
Isthmus of Panama, from eea to aea; that
no person whatever will be allowed to ob
struct, embarrass or-' Interfere In any man
ner with the trains or the route of IranKlt.
This Is without fifejifdlee or any desire to
interfere In domestic contentions of the
Colombians." ...
It was admitted by a high official of tho
Navy department today that this govern
ment Is considering; a further reinforce
ment of the I'nfted States naval force on
the Isthmus, and that It Is not at all un
likely that an additional force to' operate
along the line of railway win D ordered
to .the scene In a few days.
Knonsh Warships There.
It Is understood that there -Is no present
Intention to order mom -warships to the
Isthmus, aa the Navy department consid
ers the vessels already there or under or-
ers ample to raeet any emergency which
may arise on the water.
It was stated -In an authoritative quar-
ter today tbat the Information furbished
by Commander McLean .-to the Navy de
partment plainly shew 'that the naval
force there la kept constantly on Ita guard
to make good our treaty guarantee, of free
transmission. So whatever additional force
Is sent will co-operate with the marines
already there and those enroute on Pan
ther In a close watch on the railroad.
Governor Salaxar, who la the leading Co
lombian government representative on the
Isthmus, la barely 39 years of age. He
ttalned hia position through gallant con
duct during a siege of Panama several
year ago. Partly from hia youth and In-
xpertence he has embarrassed the gov
ernment to some extent on several occa-
ions. notably when', some months ago, he
Issued an order to censor all the official
foreign mail. By direction of his govern
ment he subsequently revoked the order.
. From Colon.
COLON. Colombia, Sept. 19. Several
hundred government troops were brought
out this morning and It was the Intention
of the authorities to have them take a
rain for Panama. The railroad company
declined to take the soldier on the S
'clock pacsenger 'tralnrit subesquently
placed a special train at their disposal.
Shortly after 8 o'clock eighty blue Jackets
from the United States cruiser Cincinnati,
nrether with two tjulclt firing Colts, were
landed In Colon. This action Is believed
to be due to the receipt of creditable In
formation tbat a representative of the In-
urgent Herrera Is at San Pablo, a atatlon
on the railroad. , Under tnea circumstances
the government decided not to entrain the
troops for Panama; they will remain at
Colon.
Ip the meantime the railroad dispatched
sntkolftl train -- with Hfnnlt I ntft niAdnni
r
from Commando- McLeao.of the cruiser
Cincinnati to General Herrera 'a representa
tive at San PabJe. saying Afcat Insurgent
troops would not' be permitted 'to ' atop
trains over the isthmus or board them, as
American marines were maintaining the
traffic from eea to sea.
A large force of Insurgenta Is said to be
quite close to San Pablo. If this la so
there Is likely to be fighting at any moment.
The returning special from San Pablo
will bring further news of the situation.
KINGSTON. Jamaica, Sept. 19. The

NEW YORK. Sept. 19. The mystery of
the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer, whose
nude body, waa found In the Morris canal,
near Jersey' City, has been cleared up by
the discovery that the woman was killed
i flat at 103 West Fifty-eighth street.
here her clothing was found tonight. This
nnouncement. waa made late tonight by
Captain Titus of the detective bureau, who
lieges that the murder was committed by
man named Hooper Young, who has re-
ently been employed In a cheap restau
rant. .
Titus has learned that the woman's body
was kept for some time under the sink In
the kitchen of the flat in which she was
illed. Young has not been arrested and
s believed to have fled from the city. He
s said; to have shipped a trunk to Chicago
last night. He formerly worked for the
Hoboken Crusader and the police found his
picture taken with group of employee.
This picture waa shown to the Hoboken
veryman, who at once picked out Young
aa the man who hired a buggy from him
on Wednesday night.
The house In which the murdered
woman's clothing was found Is a . cheap
encment . In. a block containing many
tables, but Is within a atone' throw of
some of the . most splendid apartment
houses In : the - vicinity ot Central park
south.
Husband. Closely questioned.
The huaband of the woman, a tailor of
this city, was brought from Jersey City to
police headquarters in this city yesterday.
nd after being closely questioned he was
nvited to remain at headquarters until the

vee, this morning.
Sergeant Phaler, In charge of the detect
ive bureau, last night said that Pulitzer

primary elections on Tuesday night, and
tbat when he got home he decided to have
light repast and asked hia wife to pre
pare Borne cocoa. He discovered that there
was none In the house and she went to get
some.- and also some bread and fruit. Ac
cording to the police, Pulitzer learned later
that his wife had been to the bakery for
me Dread and there be lost trace of her.
Sergeant Phaler added that Pulitzer had
made a statement to the New York detect-
ves which was considered to Important
that It would not be made public.
Mrs. Eva Flomlng. who keeps the board
ing house where the Pulitzers lived, at 160
West Forty-sixth street, said the couple

that they were quiet and that she had Been
Airs, putiuer only two ot three times and

ried about Ave years.
Ctorles Are Somrnhal Different.
The story ' told by Mrs. Fleming about
Mrs. Pulitzer going out for eatablea on

gested she would get some fruit for him
He told her rtht, the etreets were crowded
with men who had been attendin the
primaries and tbat It would not be wise
for her to go out. She disregarded his ad
v Ice, however, and, taking off some cf her
Jewelry, went out for the fruit and that
was the last he saw of her until he Identt
fled her body at the Jersey City morgue.
At the detective bureau this morning It
was said that the central office had been
notified by the Newark police to be on the

woman was a Dane.
G. M. Pulitzer, a brother of Joseph, ltv

a paragraph without stopping to wipe hie
eyes or close them. We were great coffee
drinkers, especially my boy, but never
thought that was the cause of our trouble
until I read an article on ' the subject In
the Cleveland paper.
We were diacusslng It at table one day
and my daughter said, 'I know It Is coffee
that hurts me, for when I do not drink It
I do not have that lump In my stomach.'
My boy said, 'A lump is nothing, every
time I drink coffee my Angers prickle Just
aa though they were asleep.' I was both
scared and astonished at such informa
tion and told tbem I had made the last
cup of coffee I ever would tor home use.
I got 4 package of Postum Food Coffee and
tried It for our next meal and we aoon
learned to Uke It and think It better than
coffee.
We have none of us been troubled with
our stomachs since we commenced to use
It. Our eyes do not wator any more
when in th wind, our cheeks and lips are
red Instead of blue or purple when we
are out in the cold, the drowsy feeling

tirely left my aon. We ue it tl- a day

coffee. We cannot speak too highly of
its merits, for we know we owe the change

woman' husband was In the hands of two
detectives and that they would go over the
ground thoroughly today. The captain
said he believed that Pulltzrr's story was
the truth. ,
Captain Titus waa asked what, if any,
clues be had. He repllrd that the most Im
portant clue he had at present wae the fact
that a man called at the house where the
Pulitzers lived on Tuesdsy. He said that
detectives were now at work on tbat end.
The theory of Chief of Toiler Murphy of
Jersey City Is that the woman was killed
In New York and that the body was brought
across the river on a ferryboat, and tbat It
was taken to where It was found In a
wagon. The chief thinks that someone whe
admired the woman killed her In a fit ot
Jealousy. He does not believe robbery wae
the motive.
The twenty-pound weight which wae at
tached to the strap that was fastened about
the dead woman's waist waa identified to
day as the property of Charles E. Evans,
who keeps a stable In Hoboken. Mr. Evans
says that early Wednesday evening a man
entered the stable and aald he wanted a rig
that waa capable of carrying a large
valise. A hitching strap and weight,
which he asked for, were given to him. He
did not return the rig until 8 o'clock the
text morning.
Evans, the Hoboken liveryman, came to
the detective bureau thia afternoon, and
after closely scrutinizing Joseph Pulitzer
he positively declared that he was not the
man who hired the rig.

citizens of Birmingham, waa a witness of
the catastrophe. He lives within half a
block of the Church arid hearing the com
motion went to aacertaln the trouble. A
he reached the front ot the church the crowd
began blocking the front of the church, and
In describing It, he said: "I have wit
nessed many appalling sights, but the wild
srene at the head of these steps Is beyond
description. Wildly excited negroes rushed
to the top of the steps and began falling
headlong down the incline. Others were
pushed upon them and notwithstanding the
warnings from the outside the crowd con
tinued to push. In a few minutes the men
and women were plied on top of each other
to the height of ten feet. Presently a negro
womsn with a baby In her arms mounted
the mass and. climbing over the bodies,
leaped to the ground without Injury to her
self or tho Infant. As quickly as possible
a rescue party was organized, and as soon
aa the entrance was cleared began the re
moval of the bodies."
Rev. Dr. T. W. Walker, pastor of Shiloh
church, eald tonight: "Shlloh church la a
modern brick structure and has Jnst been
completed at a cost of $75,000. There are
four entrances to the building and the main
one is sixteen feet wide. The deaths were
caused by everybody trying to rush out
ot tho main entrance at the same time.
Inside the church not a bench was over
turned and all of those who were killed
died In or about the entrance. The people
up near the front of the church were not In
Jured in the least."
Major W. M. Drennan, said: "Most of
those who were killed are strangera, but
their bodies will be cared for until ldenti
fled and claimed by relatives." '
Washington Tells of Stampede.
Principal Booker T. Washington, when
seen after the accident, at the residence of
Dr. U. Q. Mason, said:
: "I bad Just finished delivering my lecture
on 'Industry,' when somo - woman back of
me was heard to scream. Some of the mem
bers of the choir 'yelled 'quiet,' which the
gallery understood to be 'Are.' This waa
repeated and started the stampede. I
found on' investigation that Birmingham
man had stepped on the toes ot a delegate
from Baltimore named Ballou.
"Ballou resented It and made a motion
as though to draw a gun. This, caused tha
women to scream. There waa llttlo ex
citement in the center and front of the
church. The rear of the church waa con
gested and some ot the men tried to walk
out on the beads of the crowd. At the
time of the fright there were probably 3,000
In the church and probably that many out
side. The crowd on the sidewalk surged in
and this In a measure accounted for the
large loss ot life. The majority of those
killed were smothered to death, very few
having bones broken. When I saw that a
stampede was imminent 1 started the choir
singing and part of the audience Joined
tbem. I remained until the audience had
aubalded, for fully .thirty minutes. One
good sister, whose name I did not learn,
caught me firmly by the waist and held me
throughout the excitement, aaying 'keep
still.'
"I am unable to say positively, but there
Is a probability that the convention will
adjourn out of respect to the dead. The
session would have closed next Monday
night. So far aa Is known, ten delegates
were among those killed, two from Texas
and two from New Orleana being among the
number."

HAY PLEASES TIIE ENGLISH
Great Britain Approves Hii Note Ooicrn-
ing Koimanitn Jews.
WELCOMES UNITED STATES INTERVENTION
Newspaper. However, HumoronMy
Refer to Fart that Thl Country
May Find rirnty Thing
of the Kind to Do.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. So far only Oue
answer to the State department's Identical
note concerning the Roumanian Jews, has
come to hand. This was from Great Britain
and consisted of brief aknowledgment with
a promise to look Into the subject matter.
which promise appiars to have been kept
by the prompt lstue of an Invitation by
Great Britain to Germany to open negotia
tions on the subject. It Is presumed that
the other nations will return their acknowl
edgments shortly. If they are all ot the
same mind as England, It may be that a
conference will be called of representative
of tbe power signatory, of the treaty of Ber
lin with the purpose of bringing pressure
to bear on Roumanla to live up to Ita ob
ligations under the treaty.
LONDON, Sept. 19. Secretary Hay'a note
to the powers which were signatories of the
Berlin treaty of 1878 on the subject ot the
treatment of the Jews in Roumanla, which
waa received in London about a fortnight
ago, was welcomed In British official circle.
The tone ot the formal acknowledgement
of the receipt of the note here Indicates
BritiKh approval of American initiative In
this matter and confirms the idea that
Great Britain welcomes the continued Inter
ventlon of the United State in affairs In
which Europe is more directly concerned.
In the belief that such intervention tends to
indirectly strengthen the bands of the Brit
ish government.
Apart from this, the question of exclusion
of pauper aliens from Great Britain I
growing more acute and antl-lmmlgratlon
law . are demanded In many Influential
quarters. So tar the government la In
sympathy with Mr. Hay's protest, in the
hope that the wholesale exportation ot un
desirable emigrants from Europe may be
checked.
The newspapers here continue to com
ment on the United States note. The St.
James' Gazette, in a aeml-haoiorous refer
ence to it, says: "The European govern
ment. ' to whom It was addressed, must
have been unagreeably surprised, for the
note furnished a fresh evidence of the
growing dlspoeltion of the United States
to take a seat in the orchestra of the
European concert, which some other per
former held with uneasiness."
Object of President Roosevelt.
After declaring that It Is difficult to un
derstand what President Roosevelt hope to
gain by the appeal to the signatories of the
Berlin treaty, the St. Jamea' Gazette con
cludes that tbe chief American motive Is
humanity, and says: "This Indicates a
spirit of knight-errantry which, however
creditable to a great civilized power. Is
likely to give the Americans plenty of oc
cupation without increasing their popu
larity with the governments of the old
world."
Mr. Hay'a contrast of the enlightened
system of America and tho Intolerant
tyranny of tho principalities ot Europe Is
referred to by the St. Jamee' Gazette as
"not devoid of self-complacency" and as In
tended tor the unification of mankind. The
paper refers to Mr. Hay a an "American
Hamlet," who say: "Look on this plo
ture and then on that and consider whether
old -Mother' Europe should be ashamed of
herself."
The British foreign office this evening gave
the -Associated Press the authority that hia
majesty's government had communicated
with all the Signatory powers ot the Ber
lin treaty, with a view to developing their
attitude and purpose in relation to the Rou
manlan Jews, as called to the attention of
the powers by Secretary Hay.
Thi action of the British government
has not reached the public here.
Max Sordon Enthusiastic.
PARIS, Sept. 19. A representative of
the Aaaoclated Presa today Interviewed
Max Nordau. vice president ot tbe colony
of Zionists, on Secretary Hay'a Roumanian
note. .
"It ia magnlfloent," said Dr. Nordau.
"After a period of darkness, during which
America seemed to be Immersed In Mon
roeism and the furtherance of its own ma
terial interest. It has atepped forward and
taken a glorious totep In behalf of suffering
humanity. It has torn the mask from Eu
rope's face. - Secretary Hay'a circular com
pete the European powers who signed the
treaty of Berlin to do their duty or stand
convicted. of conniving at tbe extermina
tion of 250,000 of my brethren by the bar
barian ot Roumanla. The Roumanian
government has heard the pernicious the
ory annunciated by the antlaemlte that
we constitute a danger to a young nation
and on the false pretext that Roumanla Is
a young . nation, it ha determined to rid
the country of them. The Roumanian gov
ernment denied the Jew civil right, it
closed every, channel whereby they could
gain their livelihood and It condemned them
to extermination by atarvatlon or flight.
Secretary Hay' note must bear fruit. Eu
rope must. nqw. -call to Roumanla for tbe
fulfillment "of its 'duties and obligation or
bear the openbame."

LIKE A MIRACLE
THE WONDERFUL RECOVERY OR
A MINNESOTA MAN.
Ill Lower l.lmh Had BfMuo 'len
and He Draaaed lllmoelf Around
Like- at neki.
White the utorv of the wonderful reeov
ery of John Hunter In the little town of
Chlco, Cel.. from paralysis and locomotor"
ataxia is still fresh in tbe mind of everyone,
an account of another equally remarkable)
and somewhat similar case come from
Minnesota.
Near Northfleld. Minn., lives P. A.
O'Brien, known to everybody round about
the town. In the fall of 1900 he wag
obliged to give up work, because of dis
ease which one of tbe physicians who at
tended him called locomotor ataxia and an
other paralysis. He suffered for more than
three years and, for part of the time, lay
In a harness by the doctor's direction. He
grew worse and the physicians pronounced
htm Incurable. But at last, like a miracle,
came his cure. - Let him tell -the storyi
"It hsd been coming on slowly for right
years," he says. "A rold numbness com
menced in my feet and worked upwards.
It grew worse, and in November, . 1900, I
had to quit work. The disease bent ma
over, and, when I attempted to straighten
up, it felt aa if some one waa cutting ma
In the pit ot the stomach with a knife. I
always felt tired aud could not rest at
night, my feet felt as if there were needles
sticking In them and my legs got fo numb
tbat I could atlck pina in them and never
feel It. They would shake o sometime
that I could not hold them atlll with both
hands. , ..
"Then I got so that I could not walk and
I had to pull mysef around like a snake.
When I got exrlted my heart would palpi
tate and I would choke up. My kidney
also became affected and caused me much,
pain."
'Didn't the doctors help you?"1 waa
asked.
'No. One of them had me on my bed In
a harness for several months, but that did
me no good. They tried 'various things
and. at last, said I could not be cured.
Yes. I fooled them My sister saw ln
the paper how Mr. Peak of Milwaukee, Wis.,
had been cured of locomotor ataxia, and
upon her advice I began taking Dr. Wil
liams' Pink "PlllB for Pale People. The first
box stopped my pain so I could sleep good.
It was a week before I could move my feet
the least bit, but from that on I gained
pretty fast. I will never stop praising Dr.
Williams' Pliik Pills, tor they have made a
new man of me." '
The cure of Mr. O'Brien is only addtttonal
proof that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills' are not
an ordinary medicine. They are wonder
ful in their potency in nervous troubles,
small or great, and, as they are oh aale In
every drug store throughout the country,
they are within reach of all.' Because they
cured such a severe nervous disorder aa
that of Mr. O'Brien, proves -the power of
the remedy In lesser troubles, such as
sciatica, neuralgia. ' nervous headache, St.
Vltua' dance and nervous debility.
Dr. Wllllame' rink Pills have a double
action on the blood and on tbe nerves.' It
la not claimed, that the pills are a cure
all, but the very nature" of tbe 'remedy makes
It efflcaplouii Jn a wlder range ot diseases
than any other. It ia a scientific prepara
tion designed to cure 'disease through a
direct action on the blood and nerves. Im
poverished blood and badly fed nerves are
the cauae of nearly, every aliment th,t af
fect mankind. ; If tho blood ) kept pure,
rich and red, apd the nerves strong and
active, disease cannot obtain a .foothold.
