Morgan I through Police Commissioner Bingham, I to the police at the polls today, order- >’ Ing them to nee that the count In Grenter New York tonight wan made j with the greatest rapidity, so that the l result would l»e known an early uh pos sible. The hypothesis generally held In j regard to this order wan the Republl- i can managers wanted to know how things were going In Greater New York In order that they could act accord ingly In regard to the returns from the* rent of the state. The order to the police was addi tionally queer, according to Democrat ic managers, from the fact that the blue coats at the polling placed were given rigid Instruction* to report any delay In the count, not to Commifodon- er Blnghum. which would have been the usual course, but to Superintendent Morgan’ll office.

STATISTICS. I Whitehall St. ATLANTA, GA. The ordinance imnnluced by Coun- | ciimun W. H. Terrell, making it I criminal offense, to erect a billboard ; over live feet high, died hard in coun j ell Monday afternoon, but It died with Its boot* on, ho to speak. An Incident or two In connection with the defeat of the ordinance served to break the monotony of about as tedious and boresome a* meeting a« council ever pe’rpetrated on an expectant bunch of newH|>apcr reporters. The ordinance had the backing of the j Ministers’ Evangelical Association. It * supposed fhat there would be a f strong tight to have the advent* report of the o/dlnance committee overruled. When the report was read Councilman Ttrrell arose in defense of his ordi nance. “Mr. Chairman,” said Mr. Terrell, “I would like permission to stand upon the roHtrum, where I can be heard plainly, where I can get a commanding view of council, and make my points more forceful,” He was granted this request, and he sailed In. Mr. Terrell was at his best. He argued that the passage of the ordinance would mean the end of the unquestionable lithographs which, charged, defaced Atlanta’s streets. He waxed warm and eloquent. In the midst of the tirade of abuse against lithographs showing women with wahtt* too low and skirts too high, there was a quiver as of an earthquake, and then the whole room shook, a volcanic noise accotni>anylng the supposed ex plosion. Upon Investigation. It was fun. I that Councilman Htcve Glass had taken n short trip to Blumberland and that the train had run off the track. He and his chair were carefully gathered to gether and placed in their former rela tive positions. Councilman Glass pleaded that he had been overcome by the force of the re marks. But when voting time came, he cost his ballot against the ordinance, did all of council but Mr. Terrell. DEATH 8. Annie Foster, aged 26 years, died of heart failure at 160 West Peachtree. Sirs.
