LATE ELECTION RETURNS.
Wilmington, November 8.—The of
ficial returns of Tuesday's vote gave Rey
nolds, Democrat, for Governor, a majority
of 543, and Causey, Democrat, for Con
gress 668. About 150 votes were cast for
the Prohibition candidate.
San Francisco, November S.—But
few additional returns have been received
today from the First or Second Congres
sional districts, jin which the results
of Tuesday's elections are still
in doubt. The returns from
30:1 of the 457 precincts
in the First district gave Barham, Repub
lican. 175 plurality. Eight counties in
this district, where the returns are incom
plete, gave DeHaven, Republican, 101
majority. Two years ago, the returns
from 341 out of the 480 precincts in the
Second district gave Blanchard, Republi
can, 474 plurality. The counties in this
district, from which practically no returns
have been received, gave Cleveland a ma
jority of 331 over Harrison, two years ago.

weeks of racing which closed today have

ADDRESS MONDAY.
Atlanta. November §.—[Special.]—
Northen’s first appointment was Sam
Steele, the negro porter who has filled a
position in Gov. Gordon’s office. He was
retained at the solicitation of Gov. Gor
don. The first official order was
one making J. W. Warren and W.
H. Harrison secretaries, and Stanhope
Sams, connected with the Journal’s staff,
Minute Clerk. Judge J. T. Nisbet, Gov
ernor Gordon’s private secretary, was an
applicant for reappointment. He retires
to his farm home in Bibb county, and will
practice law in Macon. Major Warren
and Capt. Harrison were retained from
Gordon’s cabinet. The retirement of Col.
E. T. Shubrick, Assistant Principal Keeper
of the Penitentiary, was in the interest of
Col. Towers, the Principal Keeper. It
insures, it is understood, the re-appoint-
ment of the latter. Sterling Roberts, of
Hancock, the man who refused to let (Jor
don’s nomination be made unanimous in
the convention four years ago, will, in all
probability, be Assistant Principal Keeper.
Adjutant-General Kell’s re-appointment
is assured.
Judge Sam Lumpkin will go to the Su
preme Bench. McWhorter, of Oglethorpe,
will succeed him.
There is no telling yet who will be
school commissioner.
DUBIGNON ON THE GROUNDS.
Hon. duBignon is here and is thor
oughly non-committal. “I came up with
Judge Falligant and Colonel Lester,” he
said today, “to be in at the inauguration
and my visit has no political significance.
I had arranged to come some days
before my name was used in con
nection with the Senatorship, and
I am not a candidate.” But Mr. duBignon
has taken pains 10 make a close study of
the situation, and he is still studying. He
has met a very cordial reception at the
hands of his friends here. To all of them
he gives the same answer.
. ANOTHER DARK HORSE.
Another dark horse boom is that for
Colonel Hawkins, of Americus. A few of
his friends are here working for him on
the idea that he would be a good man as a
compromise candidate.
A GORDON DEMONSTRATION.
Tonight the Y'oung Men’s Democratic
League had a big demonstration at the
artesian well. It was really a Gordon
meeting—a big ovation for Gordon.
Northen, Gordon, McClure of Philadel
phia, Bill Glenn, Colquitt, Ed Wil
liams, Nat Hammond, Pat Calhoun,
Heke Smith, and Colonel Fenn, of
Colorado made speeches. The crowd was
with Gordon, and called for him several
times. All is quiet now, but there is
plenty of talk, of course, but nothing else.
TO ADDRESS THE LEGISLATURE.
It is announced tonight that Gov. Gor
don will address the General Assembly in
the hail of the House of Representatives
•at 7:30 o’clock Monday evening.
A SAD DEATH.
A YOUNG MATRON OF GRIFFIN DIES IN
ALABAMA.
Griffin, Ga., November 8.—A telegram
was received here this evening from Sed-
don, Ala., announcing the death of Mrs.
Charlie Corbin, jr.. of West Griffin. Mrs.
Corbin left here about three weeks ago on
a visit to her sister, Mrs. James K. Porter,
of Seddon, Ala., and was soon attacked
with a violent spell of pneumonia, which
resulted in her death this evening. Her
husband was summoned to her bedside on
Monday and found she was attended by
the very best medical aid and kind and
tender nurses, but death claimed its own
and Mrs. Corbin’s spirit is tonight among
the happy angels of the great beyond. Her
remains will be brought here tomorrow for
burial. She leaves a broken-hearted hus
band and four young children to mourn
her untimely death, all of whom have the
sympathy of this entire community.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
THE PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION FOR
PRAISE AND THANKS.
Washington, November 8. — The
following was issued today by the • Presi
dent of the United States:
A PROCLAMATION.
By the grace and favor of Almighty God
the people of this nation are approaching
the closing days of the passing year, which
has been full of the blessings of peace and
comforts of plenty. A bountiful com
pensation has come to us for the work of
our minds, and of our hands in every de
partment of human industry.
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United States of America,
do hereby appoint Thursday, the 27th day
of the present month of November, to be
observed as a day of prayer and thanks
giving, and I do invite the people upon
that day to cease from their labors, to
meet in their accustomed houses of wor
ship, and to join in rendering grati
tude and praise to our beneficent
Creator for the rich blessings
he has granted to us as a nation, and in
voking a continuance of his protection and
grace for the future. I commend to my
fellow-citizens the privilege of remember
ing the poor, the homeless and the sorrow
ful. Let us endeavor to merit the prom
ised recompense of charity and the gracious
acceptance of our praise.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this,
the 8th day of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and
ninety, and of the Independence of the
United States one hundred and fifteenth.
Benjamin Harrison.
By the President,
James G. Blaine,
Secretary of State.
A RUMOR FROM MICHIGAN
THAT THE STATE TICKET IS STILL IN
DOUBT.
Detroit, Mich., November 8.—In an
extra edition just out, the Journal (Inde
pendent) prints the following, in part:
The alleged Democratic landslide in Mich
igan is likely to prove no landslide at all.
In fact, it is now claimed that the entire
Republican State ticket, with the excep
tion of Turner for Governor and Hurston
for Attorney-General, will probably
be found to have the most
votes when the official figures are
footed up. This rather astonishing state
ment is made upon the authority of B.
Egan, deputy secretary of State. Egan is
in the best possible position to judge of the
result, and he makes this statement with
the greatest confidence, He will not at
this writing give basis for the statement,
but he declares that the %ures will show
his position to be true.
A $10,000 FIRE.
Norfolk, November 0.—A special to
the Land Mark from Tunis, N. C., says:
The dry kiln and half a million feet of
lumber belonging to the Tunis Lumber
Company burned this morning. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The loss
is $10,000, partly insured.
A NEW NATIONAL BANK.
Washington. November 8.—The First
National Bank of Buchanan, Virginia, has
been authorized to begin business with a
capital of $50,000.
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT-
A VIOLENT EXPLOSION AT THE
VANDERBILT FURNACE.
SENSATIONAL SHOOTING in a HOTEL.
ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A WIFE BEATER JAILED—HIS
CHILDREN COMPLAINED.
Birmingham, November 8.—[Special.]
A terrible accident happened at the Van-
derbilt Steel and Iron Company’s furnace
in East Birmingham this afternoon.
While C. A. Meisner, the general manager
cf the company, was examining a blow
pipe that was out of order, it exploded,
blowing him twenty feet. His face was
terribly burned, and one eye was burned
out and the other filled with cinders,
rendering him totally blind. Dr.
Woodson, who was called, says he can’t
restore the eye sight. The wounds are
very serious. No one else was hurt.
Meisner came here from New Jersey one
year ago. and was very wealthy. He has
a family.
• A HOTEL FRACAS.
At the Caldwell hotel, today, during
dinner, Vel Smith, a young man, shot and
badly wounded Sam Fisher, a colored
waiter. Fisher failed to do What Smith
ordered and gave an impolite answer. The
affair created a panic in the dining room.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
The east bound morning passenger train
on the Georgia Pacific railroad was
wrecked today one mile from the city. The
baggage and mail cars were smashed and
two coaches ditched. A hundred people
were on the train but nobody was hurt, as
it was running only ten miles an hour. A
broken switch was the cause of the acci
dent.
A WIFE BEATER.
William A. F. Miller, a respectable
white man, aged fifty, is in jail for cruelly
beating his wife. He was bound over to
the grand jury. His children preferred
the charge.
A NEWSPAPER DEAL.
THE MEMPHIS APPEAL PURCHASES THE
MEMPHIS AVALANCHE.
Memphis, Tenn., November 8.—The
Memphis Appeal today, through its presi
dent, W. A. Collier, purchased the Mem
phis Avalanche, the proprietor of the lat
ter journal, Congressman James Phelan,
having determined, because of protracted
ill health, to retire from journalism.
The paper issued tomorrow morning
will be known as the Appeal-
Avalanche. By the consummation of this
deal, the Appeal-Avalanche becomes the
sole owner of the Associated Press
franchise in this section of the country.
The office and forces of the Avalanche
were removed to the Appeal’s building to
night. This is the largest deal ever made
in newspaper circles in the South. The
Avalanche has been successfully operated
for thirty-five years and the Appeal for
half a century. There were many bidders
in the field. By the purchas of the Ap
peal, the Avalanche become the most valu
able newspaper property in the South, and
the paper acquires a daily circulation of
17,000, and a weekly circulation of 87,000.
ALIENS AT NORFOLK
IN VIOLATION OF TIIE CONTRACT LABOR
LAW.
Washington, November 8.—The ques
tion has again been presented to the Treas
ury Department as to whether the practice
of employing aliens from Canada at Nor
folk, Va., in handling cottpn for export is
notin violation of the alien contract labor
law. The agent reports that while these
men undoubtedly go to Norfolk with an
understanding that they will be given
work, it is almost impossible to obtain
proof to that effect. It is I
said at the Treasury Department
that the law does not apply to foreigners
who come to this country voluntarily in
search of work, but only to such as are
sent for, or who come under contract, ex
pressed or implied. The great difficulty
in the present instance is to prove the exis
tence of any sort of contract or agreement.
There are at present twenty foreigners en
gaged at Norfolk in handling cotton for an
English house, who are said to be em
ployed in violation of the law.
sun’s cotton review.
New York, November 8.—Futures
opened at 5 to 6 points advance, turned
easier, closing steady at 2 to 4 points ad
vance from yesterday’s closing prices.
There was a buoyant opening on a
smart advance from Liverpool, but
when a certain amount of shorts had been
closed up the demand fell off and prices
gave way, the bears recovering courage on
very favorable picking weather in the
South and promise of a fuller crop move
ment for the current week. Port receipts
are estimated at 307.000 bales, and there
is in progress a very large overland move
ment, which will be shown in the statis
tics for November.
Spot cotton here was quiet but steady.
A BOSTON FAILURE.
Boston, November 18.—W. G. Bell <fc
Co., provisions, No. 52 Commercial street,
bad their paper to go to protest yesterday,
and have made an assignment. The firm
has done a large business, and it is ex
pected the liabilities are heavy. The
members decline to make any statement.
WOOLEN MILLS SHUT DOWN”.
Providence, R. I., November 8.—Last
night as the warps ran out, the carding
and spinning departments of the Harri
son Woolen Mills at Woonsocket shut
down. There is every prospect of a com
plete shut down of the mills belonging to
this company in Woonsocket.
Lizzie Evans, Fogg’s Ferry.—Mon
day, Tuesday and Friday nights, the Opera
House will resound to the merry laugh of
charming Lizzie Evans, one of the best
little actresses of the soubrette school now-
on the stage, and a prime favorite with
Columbus theater-goers.
Miss Evans will open on Monday night
in her new version of “Fogg’s Ferry,”
which has lately been revised and rewrit
ten, and in its present shape is said to be
far superior to the old version. Miss
Evans will again be seen as “Chip,” a
character which she has made as famous
as Annie Pixely’s “M’liss,” or Lotta’s
“Bob.” During the performance she will
introduce a number of new songs, dance3,
medleys, etc., which are quite a feature.
“Fogg's Ferry” will be produced with
special scenery, the set for the famous
Torpedo Explosion scene, being es
pecially fine and realistic. Miss Evans is
well supported this season, by an excellent
company, in fact the finest she has ever
brought South. Prominent members are
Miss Marion P. Clifton. Miss Lucille La-
Verne, Miss Emma Hawthorne, Harry
Mills, W. C'. Donaldson, S. H. Verney,
Paul R. Evertou. A. R. Brooks, G. W.
Spencer and others. On Tuesday night
Miss Evans will appear in “The Buckeye,”
the laughable comedy in which she starred
with success last season.
