SALEm, OREGON, Dee. 8.--The pro
' ceedings at the meeting of Electors was
as follows: All the Republican and
Democratic Electors assembled in the
1room of the Senate Chamber. The Sec
retary of State pairsed an evelope
through the door to Cronin, who read it
as a certificate of the vote given to Odell,
Cartwright and himself. lie then put it
in his pocket, relmang tO bhOW it to the
it3publicans. Odell, Cartwright and
()Min seated themselves at, a table and
organized by electing Odell Chairman.
Watts offired to leave the room, but OS
the other Democrats (Klipell and Las
well) refu,ed to leave, ho remained at
the requeet of the Hier Republicans.
Watts tuen tendered his resignation as
Elector. Odell and Cartwright sever
ally demanded their certificates of
Cronin who repeatedly relused to sun.
render them. After seine tilue Cronin
asked if they refused to act with him.
Odell and Cartwright said no, very
emphatically, bUt demanded that their
authority to act Should be shown.
Cronin then left tue table, the Republi.
can Electors having made no otjection
to co.operate with him, and after
in Maier and Parker organized bis
Electoral College is b'efore reported.
Secretary Chadwick claims to have
simply acted under Governor Grover's
orders.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.The Commercial
Advertiser's special says that the Demo
crate claim that the Irregularity in Ore
gon wia bring the whole question of
frauds in the Electoral College before
Congress, and that Cronin, Vie Demo
ratio Elector, has a prima facie case,
and that the- Republicaue lutist accept
the vote ergo behind it, which would
give tue House the right to inquire lute
and exclude the vote oi Louisiana.
The Governor Makes a Statement.
NEw Yoftli, Dec. it --Tao Herald pub
liabes a dispatch from Governor Grover,
of Oregon, givlog the grenade of his
action in granting certificatel to the
Electors in Oregou. He says, In refer
ence to the ease of Watts, that the fact
of his disqualification was well known.
A protest was entered against the iseu
ance of a certificate to Watts. To this
a reply was filed objecting to anything
but a count of the votes and certificate
4)u the count. making no denial of the
disqualifying facto. It was ruled in the
case that the Governor had a right to
determine the question. It was also
held that the votes east for an inel.
ligible candidate can not be couuted for
any purpose, and the eligible candidate
having the next higheet number of
votes was duly elected. This ruling he
says was eased upon standard authori
ties, such as Cushing and Grant, the
decisions of many courte, the later uni
form practice in the U. S. House of Rep
resentatives, and the great weight of
English autilorities. The law of Oregon

TUE BROOKLYN DISASTER.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS SINCE THE
TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE.
National Associated Prt3S8 tO the Star.
Baotiltixis, Dec. 8.--Tue dieaster at
tbe. Brooklyn Theater continues to be
the theme of conversatiou among all
classes. Firemen, polleemon and oth
ers are still busy with picks and shoV
els, and all exhumations made are at
once sent to the neighboring police sta
tions and to the old market. the morgue
being already full. Police guard the ru
Ins. Nearly three hundred and fifty
bodies have been recovered front the
ruins.
Great heaps of debris at either corner
of what once was the stage, have not
yet been removed, and pieces of wearing
apparel protrude from the mass of
crooked gas-pipe and piles of rubbish In
every direction.
Numbers of bodies have been identi
fled by relativeti. In all cases where
identificatiou is complete the Coroner
delivers the remains to the fatuities of
the dead. The police are exhausted by
tbeir hard labor, and Gm Jordan has
accepted the oft9r of one hundred men
of the Twelfth Ikglineut of National
Guards to stand guard as special police
men. There is great indignation at attempts
at the morgue of avaricious wretches to
gain possession of bodies upon whom
Watchee or other jewelry are toned.
Several such attempts have been made.
In one case two men claimed to recog
nize a corpse as that of a relative; the
body waS Wet of a boy, and the father
bad already claimed it and was stand
iug near, plunged in the deepest grief,
when the two rascals, attracted hy the
sight of a valuable gold watell and chain,
made application for a permit to remove
the body. 5o far as known small at
tempts have not proved successful.
A Coroner's jury was impaneled, and
held a private ilession the Station
Haouse adj.lining the burned theater,
They took no evidence, and at neoli ad
journed to meet at the Coronet's ofiLe
Saturday evening.
A.M. Palmer, one of the lessees of the
theater, gives the followiug statement
ot the number of persons iu the theater
Tuesday :
ets1 persons in the Upper gallery. 800
persons in the dress 01E010, 260 persons
lu the parquet, 21 actora and speaking
people, 20 supernumeraries, 10 stage.
bandit, i2 total, 1,018, or,
including dressers and other sub
ordinates, in all ahem 1,050 per
sons. A fault in the construc
tion of the burned building, and one to
which there is reasou to believe the
dreadtul loss ot lire ta the gallery is in a
taiga measure attributable, was tee use
ot paluttal c:oilt for the ceiling. The
canvas caught easily and burned rap.
idly. Of course tae flames tollowed it
to the ventilator at the tup, making the
dome a tunnei ot fire right over the
heads of the people in the gallery. It
seems more than probable that the
smoke and lire, in midst ot which
they were thus placed, destroyed the
lives ot many.persous who might else
hate escaped, even by the luadequate
stairway provided tor them.
A list is phblished of tifty-nine who
have been identified.
NEW YORK, Dec- 8-11 A. M..The full
extent of the Brooklyn disaster has been
approxiinately ascertained, but it is
probable that the total loss of life will
never be known'. Thus tar LWO hundred
and ninety bodies haVe been recovered
froth tbe ruins. One hundred and thirty
frie bodies Still remain unideniified. and
the city will probably have to bury the
larger portion of these at the public ex
pense. Memorial services for tbe dead
will be held Sunday. The offer ol Green
wood Cemetery authorities nos been ac
copied, and the victims not identified
vOil be buried in it large plot. The in
terment will probably be made to-morrow
atteimoon. The ex Induation ol the
ruine, it is expected, will be completed
to-day.
BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 8.--Two more
bodice nave been recovered front the
ruius of the theater fire. In the present
state of excitement it Is impossible to
arrive at a correct conclusion as to the
precise number who pecislied in the lire.
Police Captain Smith says two hun
dred and forty-sight box loaos
were carried out up to last night, but
that some boxes contained two or three
bodies and some fragments of bodies;
another Metal reperts two hundred
nod eighty-two bodies recovered,
and still another official of the
Coroner's office reports the whole num.
ber of betties taken out up to 10
o'clock last night as reaching three bun
tired and ten.
The total number of bodies identified
is one hundred and titty.five, and the
number of persons now reported tilibielbg 1
iS LW hundred and twelve. Tilts would
indicate that three hundred and sixty
seven persons were lost. The morgue
prelleHIS a fearlul spectacle. Many,
fragments have been gathered together
in piles that will never be recognized.
and all are horribly charred. Tile un
dertasers are busily engaged preparing
the ittherals of those wile are to he bor;eil
to-day. Workmen are still eng.igeri
