Washington, Feb. 8. Immensecrowds were drawn to the capitol today by tbe merely formal ceremonies incident to tbe official counting of tbe electoral votes. The bright sunshine and tbe bracing breezes which marked the day were boldly claimed as "Cleveland worthy" and were sharply contrasted with the dismal atmospheric surroundings which have so unfortunately accompanied nearly every one of Harrison's public ap pearances, commencing with a drench ing rain on bis inauguration day and even following him into each of his pri vate duck hunting expeditions. The ceremonies attending tbe counting of the vote were preceded by a joint reso lution introduced by Senator Hower in 1888 and which has been made applica ble to all succeeding elections and been ncorporated in the revised statutes. Vice-President Morton some days since appointed as tellers on behalf of the Senate for this important ceremony Hale of Maine and Blackburn of Ken tucky. Speaker Crisp appointed Judge Chipman of Michigan and Henry Cabot Lodge, senator-elect from Massachu setts, as House tellers. Tbe actual ceremonies were nearly tbe aame today as tour years ago witb a slight difference in tbe personnel. There was a ceremonious opening of the sate in the Vice-President's room and the act of taking out the 88 sealed packages sup posed to represent the votes of the 44 States as received in duplicate by mail and messenger. There was a sol emn procession in "goose step" of old Capt. liassett who has participated in everv presidential count for more llian bU years, escorted by a squad ot Capitol police to prevent n raid being made upon the precious locked boxes contain ing the yotes. The boxes having been safely deposited in the House, the Senate in a body followed shortly before 1 o'clock. The members of the upper chnmlwr were, ol course, received by the House with becoming respect. The Vice President ascended the Speaker's platform and took his seat at the right hand of Scaker Crisp, the Senators rangirg themselves in places assigned to llicm on the right of the hall. In this manner the count proceeded in the presence of the densely packed galleries and crowded floor. The tellers, having ascertained that the certificates were in ciue torm and proirerly authenticated omitted the executive certificate ol ascertainment ol electors appointed and preliminary formal statement of the proceeding! ol the college and proceeded rspidly with the reading and ascertainment of tbe result. The Vice-President, having called the joint assemblage to order, proceeded lor mally to open one ol the boxes in winch was contained tbe returns of tbe electors of various States. The first return, that of Alabama, was banded to Senator Hale, one of the tellers, who, in a low but distinct voice, read a statement show ing that eleven votes of that State bad been cast for Cleveland and Stevenson. Then certificates were presented without formal reading, the tellers merely stating the result. There was the utmost dig nity preserved until teller Wackburn an nounced that the State of Illinois had cast 24 votes for Cleveland and Stevenson. Then a few of the spectators broke into applause, which was promptly checked by the Vice-President, who in a few dig nified words, called upon the spectators not to disturb the decorum which ought to characterize a great national transac tion which was now proceeding in the presence of the great American people. After the last certificate had been read and the results footed up the vice-Presidcnt made the customary announcement that under the law this was a sufficient declaration that Grover Cleveland of the State ol New York bad been elected President of the United States, and Adlai E. Steven- son Vice-President, each lor the term beginning March 4, 1893, and that this result would be entered together with a list of the votes on the journals of the senate and House. Tbe joint session was then declared dissolved, tbe Senate withdrew and each house resumed business in its own cham ber. 39 COUPLES MARRIED. A Ureal Mauv Notable were Present. New York, Feb. 7. The funeral of Mrs. William C. Whitney, wife of et Secretary of the Navy, was held at St. Bartholomew church yesterday.

Four thousand people in Concordia and Cataraoula, parishes in the northern portion of Louis ana, are on the verge of starving. Infor mation received from that section yes day shows that tbe people are in a piti ful condition, and unless relict is given thim at once many deaths from starva tion will result. The floods of the last summer destroyed their crops, and the water remained so long that it was not possible to plant corn or anything else beyond some quickly maturing vegeta bles.
