CITY INTELLIGENCE.
the city council.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE REGULAR MONTHLY
MEETING.
At the meeting of the Council on last
evening there was little beyond the usual
routine business. After the transaction of
the regular business of the Council, Alder
man Farmer said that, believing it would
be to the interest of the city and conducive
to the success of the Exposition, he de
sired to offer a resolution, authorizing the
Exposition Company to permit such games
as were customary to be carried on at such
places. The Mayor called Alderman Cur
tis to the chair and said that he had issued
his recent proclamation against gambling
after mature deliberation, and would not
abate or lesson it in any degree, and al
luded to his former work in aid of the Ex
position, which he thought were not de
pendent for success upon games,which were
forbidden by law and subversion of the
morals of the people. He would like to
have the expression of Council on the sub
ject, but that if such a resolution was
passed he would feel it his duty to tender
his resignation as Mayor.
Alderman Farmer said that in deference
alone to the feelings of the Mayor, he
would withdraw his resolution.
Aldermen Tarver, Kirven and Curtis
made some remarks on the subject, ap
proving the action of the Mayor, and
Aldermen Farmer and Abney, while ap
proving his action, thought that it would
be well to allow some license during the
Exposition.
The official proceedings appear below:

the city is in very good sanitary condition.
During the month of October the sanitary

A communication from the Enquibkr-
Sun, asking that it be allowed the sum of
$100 as compensation for publishing the
new charter, was received, and referred to
the Finance Committee with power to act.
A petition from W. S. Lockhart, T. P.
Young and other members of the First
United Freewill Baptist church, for an
electric light near their church, the cost of
which the Central Railroad company
would pay one-half, was received and on mo
tion not granted.
Sundry accounts were referred without
reading to coruriiittee on accounts.
A petition from the Columbus Railroad
company for permission to use a system of
electricity by means of overhead wires or
otherwise on any of its lines now or here
after to be built, was received.
Bv Alderman Epping—Resolved, That
permission and authority is hereby granted
to the Columbus Railroad Company to use
electricity on any of its lines now or here
after established in the city of Columbus,
and to this end said company is author
ized to erect the necessary poles for the
purpose of using an overhead wire or
otherwise to supply electricity to the mo
tors necessary to operate its said cars.
Alderman Kirven moved to amend by
requiring such poles to be placed under
direction of tlie street committee, which
was accepted by Alderman Epping and the
resolution adopted.
An ordinance by Alderman Epping for
bidding the feeding of stock on Broad
street between Ninth and Fourteenth
streets was read the first time.
A communication from Messrs. Little,
Wimbish & Little and L. F. Garrard, in
reference to their opinion touching the
right of the city to issue a series of bonds,
saying that the amount therein named
was based upon the total assessment of
real estate, which they were informed con
tained an amount of non-taxable property,
and therefore that the amount of bonds
that the city would be entitled to issue
would be diminished, was read without
action.
His Honor, the Mayor, said that in ac
cordance with the views expressed by
some of the Aldermen when the new
charter was being considered, he had had
that portion of Section 20, which provided
that the conviction in the Superior or City
Court of any retail liquor dealer of any
offense against the laws in reference to re
tailing should work a revocation of license
INQUEST OVER THE BODY OF FRANK
HUCKABEE YESTERDAY.
An inquest was held by Coroner Robi
son over the body of Frank Huckabee at
the family residence on the corner of
Third avenue and Sixteenth street.
The first witness introduced was Dr. T.
S. Mitchell, who testified that he was
called Saturday at 6:30 p. m. to see de
ceased, and found him suffering greatly
from three gun shot wounds, one in the
ieft breast, one in the right side and one
in the left side. There was a hole in the
small of the back where a bullet came out.
He pronounced these wounds at the time
to be fatal. It was his opinion that de
ceased came to his death from these
wounds.
Dr. W. D. Sheridan, being introduced,
corroborated the testimony of Dr. Mitchell.
Mrs. Amanda Young, at whose house
the difficulty occured, testified that
Will Wallace and her nephew, Naramore,
were in the front room of her house. She
went in from the back room and told
Naramore to get Huckabee to go home.
Huckabee said he was man enough for
both of them. The difficulty was between
Narramore and Huckabee. Narramore
hit him with a chair. Huckabee cut Nar
ramore and then turned him loose and
turned on Wallace and knocked him
down and cut him. Wallace, while down,
shot him three or four times. Huckabee
walked out of the room.
William Weeks testified that he was on
his way to market, and when nearly in
front of Mrs. Young’s house he saw a man
come out her front door and strike Huck
abee with a chair. Huckabee was knocked
down on the steps. Then Huckabee
went on in the house. Huck
abee and the man hitched; then
became separated. A man was standing
in the room a short distance from them
with a pistol in his hand, and fired twice
at Huckabee, and then after a brief inter
val fired twice more. I saw Mrs. Young
when Huckabee was hit with the chair,
and saw her immediately go into backroom,
and thought she closed the door behind
her. Did not see her any more during the
difficulty. She was not in the room when
the shooting occurred. There was a, light
in the room, and the electric light was
near by. None of the parties were down
on the floor. All were standing. Wallace
and Huckabee did not get in reach
ing distai ce of each other. The fight
was between Narramore and Hucka
bee. Did not see Huckabee strike at
Wallace, Huckabee came out and said he
was shot to pieces. I went with police
man around the house, and entered back
room. Wallace was in there and stated to
policeman that he did the shooting, and
did it in self defense.
J. B. Willet testified: I was in back
room and Mrs. Young said that some par
ties in front room were about to have a
difficulty, going to the partition door, I
saw Wallace standing with pistol in hand
down by his side. Huckabee was at the
front door; they were ten feet apart. The
elder Huckabee, uncle of deceased, had
his hand on Wallace’s shoulder, and
seemed to be counselling peace. I went
out the back door and around the house
into the street, and up the street. In few
minutes heard three or four pitol shots.
The Coroner’s jury, after a brief consul
tation, entered the following verdict:
That deceased came to his death by a
gunshot wound in the left breast, and that
said shot wa9 fired by the hand of Will
Wallace, and we the jury find the same to
be murder.”
Shortly afterward a warrant charging
Wallace with murder was issued, and he
will be carried before Justice Bowles to
day at 10 o’clock for a preliminary hear
ing.
The deceased leaves a wife and two chil
dren. The remains were buried yesterday
evening at 4 o’clock.
Pleasant Words.—The Macon Tele
graph of yesterday contained the following
editorial paragraph about the Columbus
Exposition:
The Chattahoochee Valley Exposition
will open at Columbus today to continue
until November 15. All the indications
point to a most interesting and successful
show. Columbus acquitted herself hand
somely with ihe Exposition she held two
years ago, but she means to cut
notch considerably higher this
time. The great industries of the
city alone could make a magni
ficent showing, but the Exposition,
in addition to a full display of locol enter
prises, will contain a large number of ex
hibits from other parts of Georgia and
from various other States. A variety of
attractive special features have been ar
ranged, and every day will prssent a most
interesting program. The Telegraph is
confident that the Chattahoochee Valley
Exposition will be an honor, not only to
Columbus, but to Georgia and the South.
A number of Macon people will attend it.
The Executive Municipal Commit
tee.—Mr. J. K. Orr, chairman of the late
citizens’ meeting, which determined upon
a primary election for the nomination of
candidates for city offices, and instructed
the chairman to appoint a city executive
committee, to be composed of one member
from each ward, announces the following
committee:
First ward, L. II. Chappell; Second
ward, R. J. Norman; Third ward, R. A.
Carson; Fourth ward, L. Buhler; Fifth
ward. Win. McGovern; Sixth ward. C
Scbomburg; Seventh ward, W. A. Wim-
bnsh; Eighth ward, R. B. Gunby.
Thi6 committee will meet at the Library
at 4:30 p m. today for organization.
Hotel Burned at Cusseta.—The ho
tel at Cusseta, on the Columbus Southern
road, was destroyed by fire about 2:30
o’clock yesterday morning. The building
belonged to Mrs. N. N. Howard, and was
run by Rev. F. M. Blalock. Mrs. Howard
lost $150 in money and two gold watches.
Nothing was saved from the burning build
ing except a piano And. some bedding. No
insurance. The exact amount of the loss
is not known.
The Vote in Muscogee.—The mana
gers of Tuesday’s election in Muscogee
met at the court house at noon yesterday
and consolidated the vote. The result is
given below:

LOCAL DOTS
GATHERED IN A DAY’S ROUNDS BY
ACTIVE REPORTERS.
—Yesterday was a very quiet day in
police circles.
—The cotton market is still dull and
weak, with no demand for the lower
grades.
—The saloons and restaurants will be
kept open until 1 o’clock at night during
the Exposition.
—The special train on the Buena Vista
road will bring a large crowd to see the
Exposition today.
—Cusseta, Richland, Dawson and other
stations on the Columbus Southern road,
will send good delegations to the Exposi
tion.
—Hereafter there will be a meeting of
the Exposition Directors every day at 1
o’clock at the grounds.
—The great topics of conversation yes
terday were the election and the Exposi
tion, the two big E’s, and everybody was
delighted.
—The passenger train on the Columbus
and Rome road will not leave Columbus
until 5:30 p. m. for the accommodation of
Exposition visitors.
—The citizens of Columbus highly ap
prove the action of the mass meeting of
citizens in ordering primaries for the nom
ination of candidates for city offices.
—The friends of Dr. W. J. Fogle will re
gret to learn that he had his leg broken
by a fall yesterday morning. He was at
tended by Dr. M. D Blanchard.
—A gentleman who attended the Ala
bama State Fair at Birmingham, the State
Fair at Macon and the Piedmont Exposi
tion at Atlanta, said last night that none of
them could equal Columbus on opening
day.
—An ordinance was introduced in the
City Council last night prohibiting the
feeding of stock on Broad street between
Ninth and Fourteenth streets. This does
not prohibit the tying of horses or mules
on the street, but is intended to prevent so
much trash from wasting in the sewers
and stopping the ready drainage of water.
A Capital Performance.—The piqu
ant comedienne and vocalist, Venona
Jarbeau, with her suberb company, cap
tured a very large Columbus audience last
evening. A musical farcical comedy, en
titled Starlight, was given with fine effect.
Everybody in the company is good, and
there are three comedians who have
few superiors anywhere |in their line.
The ladies are all good looking,
fine looking, graceful dancers and charm
ing singers, and the encores
were numerous and hearty. Everybody
was pleased, and left the house in thorough
good humor. There is fun enough in
Starlight to arouse the mo9t confirmed
hypochondrian. The singing was capital,
the dancing exquisite and the diologue
bright, sparkling and witty. In brief it
may be said that Starlight was a delight
ful success.
At the Theatre.—William Red-
mund, the popular actor, supported by
Miss Beatrice Leib and a strong metro
politan company, will appear at Springer
Opera House tonight in Herminee, a story
of the Franco-Prussian war. It is likely
that the play will attract one of the larg
est audiences of the season.
FIRE AT CUSSETA.
THE BIG TWO-STORY HOTEL DESTROYED
YESTERDAY.
Cusseta, November 5.—[Special.]—At
3 o’clock this morning the hotel here was
discovered to be on fire. It looked for a
while like the whole town would be burned
to ashes. The hotel is a large, two-story
building, and within a few feet of the store
house of Dr. C. N. Howard and Wynn &
Armor. Both of these houses caught on
fire, but by the heroic efforts of the citi
zens, were extinguished. Had the efforts
in this direction not been successful al
most the entire town, would have been
burned up. The inmates of the hotel
barely escaped with their lives. When
they were awakened the building was al
most ready to fall in. The wearing ap
parel, together with all the contents of the
house, was totally destroyed. The hotel
was the property of Mrs. Mary A. How
ard, occupied by Rev. F. M. Blalock. The
loss is estimated at $3,500. No insurance.
NOT GUILTY.
DR. DAVIS ACQUITTED OF MURDERING
DR. CHEW.
Birmingham, November 5.—[Special.]
At 2 o’clock this afternoon the jury in the
case of Dr. J. D. S. Davis, charged with
the murder of Br. W. L. Chew, on Decem
ber 3, 1889, brought in a verdict of not
guilty. The case has been on trial nine
days, and attracted great interest through
out Alabama. The ablest counsel at the
bar had been employed on both sides and
every point fought. Dr. Davis is of a
prominent family.
BISHOP BECKWITH’S CONDITION.
THE REPORT ABOUT HIS CRITICAL ILL
NESS DENIED.
Macon, November 5.—A dispatch from
Bishop Beckwith’s physician, in Atlanta,
denies the truth of the widely printed re
ports that the Bishop is in a dangerous or
dying condition. The Bishop has been ill,
but is rapidly recovering.
CHICAGO MARKET.
REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 5.—Wheat—There
was good speculative trading, but mostly
on local account. The feeling was decid
edly weaker, influenced some by the
fine weather, but rather more to the free
speculative offerings by a prominent local
trader than anything else. The increase
of wheat and flour on passage, and larger
Russian shipments, helped to create the
weakness. The opening was 5-8 to |c
lower than the closing figures on Monday,
immediately sold off fc more, became firm
er, advancing ic, then eased off, prices de
clining £c, or to inside figures, and closed
about 1| to l}c lower than Monday.
Corn—There was a moderate trading
within a lower range, the feeling prevail
ing being easier. Offerings were liberal,
first sales being a quarter under the clos
ing prices of Monday, after which the
market sold off ^c, raillied some and
closed with a loss of 1£ to lie.
Oats were fairly active, but weaker and
lower. Free offerings by se^ral traders
forced prices for May down }c. After
they ceased selling a reaction of 4c fol
lowed, blit the market again weakened f c.
Pork—The business was comparatively
small and changes in prices slight.
Lard—Lard was quiet and a rather dull
feeling prevailed, and trading was limited.
Short Ribs—The trading was moderate
and the feeling easier. Prices ruled 24o.
lower, and the market dosed quiet.
[COyVtXUED FROM FIRST PAGE.]
trict, and Foster in the Eighth. Foster
concedes the election of Hare, his oppon
ent, by 100 majority. Both parties claim
the Sixteenth district.
Cincinnati, November 5.—The Times-
Star has a special from Canton, Ohio,
dated 8:30 o’clock this morning, saying
that the estimate then made for the Six
teenth district elected Warwick, Democrat,
by 244.
Cincinnati, November 5.—According
to the returns so far, as received at 6
o’clock this evening, the Ohio Congress
men elected are: First district, Bellamy
Starer, Republican; Second, John A. Cald
well, Republican; Third, George W.
Houck, Democrat; Fourth, M. K. Gantz,
Democrat; Fifth, Fred C. Layton, Demo
crat; Sixth, D. D. Donovan,- Democrat;
Seventh, W. H. Hanes, Democrat; Eighth,
D. D. Hare, Democrat; Ninth, J. H.
Outhwaite, Democrat; Tenth, Robert E.
Doan, Republican; Eleventh, J. M. Patti-
son, Democrat; Twelfth, W. H.
Enochs, Republican ; Thireenth,
Irvine Dungan, Democrat; Four
teenth, J. W. Owens, Democrat.
Fifteenth, M. D. Harter, Democrat; Six
teenth, J. G. Warwick, Democrat; Seven
teenth, A. G. Pearson, Democrat; Eighth-
teenth, J. D. Taylor, Republican; Nin-
teenth, E. B. Taylor, Republican; Twen
tieth, V. C. Taylor, Republican; Twenty-
first, Thomas L. Johnson, Democrat.
The result is seven Republicans and 14
Democrats. At this writing, however, the
election of Hare and Warwick is not es
tablished by the complete returns, and the
apparent majority in each case is so small
as to make it unsafe to claim, ihe election
till an official count is made. Plurality of
D. J. Ryan, Republican candidate for Sec
retary of State, is 15,129.
Columbus, November 5.—The Republi
can Styte committees unofficial returns,
received from seventy-five counties, and
the balance estimated, claim that the Re
publican plurality on the head of the State
ticket will be between 14,000 and 15,000.
The committee concedes the de
feat of McKinley, Republican, for
Congress by about 200, aud Foster
by about 75 or 100. The Democrat
candidates in other close Congressional
districts received majorities ranging from
500 upward, with the exception of Con-
grove at Cincinnati, who is defeated by
Storer,’Republican, by 2,700.’ One of the
most remarkable Democratic gains was in
the Eleventh district, where Pattison,
Democrat, was elected by 3,100, with a
gain of 1,500 over last fall’s vote. On the
returns received, and private advices, the
Democratic committee estimate the Re
publican plurality on the head of the
ticket wili be about 10,000, and think it
may fall below these figures. On the un
official figures, they claim McKinley
is defeated by 318 and Foster by 300 or
400. Their estimate as to the numerical
standing of the delegation is the same as
that of the Republican committee.
Cleveland, November 5.—Ex-Gover-
nor Foster concedes his defeat in the
Eighth district by a small majority. Hare,
Democrat, will have about 200 majority.
KANSAS.
Kansas City, Mo., November 5.—Ad
ditional news from Kansas, received last
night and today, do not warrant a' change
in the prediction that the Farmers’ Al
liance has secured a victory in the State.
The official count will be necessary to de
cide whether Willets, its candidate for
Governor, or Humphrey, the Republican
candidate has been elected. The vote is
very close, with indications in Willets’ fa
vor, with most of the western counties,
where the farmers are in the majority, to
hear from. The Farmers’ Alliance has
elected beyond doubt W. A. Baker, its
candidate for Congress in the Fifth dis
trict, and contributed to the election of
Moonlight, Democrat, in the First, whose
election is conceded by something over
1,000 majority.
The Farmers’ Alliance seems reason
ably sure of electing at least one other
Congressional candidate. Simpson, in the
Seventh district, composed of 37 counties,
mostly in the western part of the State, is
running Hallowell (Republican) very close,
and it will take the official count to deter
mine who is successful.
The Fifth district is also conceded to be
a very close fight between Davis, the Far
mers’ Alliance, and Phillips, Republican.
Seven counties out of ten in that district
have reported. Of these Davis has car
ried four and Phillips three. The ma
jorities in all cases are very small, and one
county may change the result, as it now
appears to be. The Kepublicans have
elected Funston and Kelly beyond doult
in the Second and Fourth districts re
spectively.
An element of doubt still exists in the
Fourth district where Clover, Farmers’
Alliance candidate contests Perkins’, Re
publican, re-election. The Fourth dis
trict from returns received up to noon by
the Associated Press is very doubtful.
That district contains twelve counties.
Returns have been received from five; of
these three have been carried by Otis,
Farmers’ Alliance, and two for Kelly, Re
publican. The Third district is also iu
doubt. Clover ex-State President of tt.e
Farmers’ Alliance, ran ahead of
his ticket of the counties
heard from. Perkins, Republican,
who is up for re-election, has very small
majorities in four out of seven counties
heard from. Clover has carried three
counties. Late returns indicate almost
positive the election of Ives, the Farmer’s
Alliance candidate, for State Attorney-
General, over Kellogg, Republican. The
Democratic aud resubmission vote was
very heavy, but not so large as was an
ticipated. Robinson, Democratic candi
date for. Governor was scratched for Wil
lets, and the Farmer’s Alliance
voted for Democrats for county
offices. The Fanner’s Alliance
will have a strong delegation in the State
Legislature. The Republicans claim only
twenty-four on the joint ballot. A ma
jority of the districts are still to be heard
from, but Ingalls’ re-election is not be
lieved to be jeopardized. Chairman Chase,
of the Farmers’ Alliance State Central
Committee of Kansas, claims the election
of Willets for Governor beyond a doubt,
and estimates his plurality at 25,000.
Kansas City, Mo., November 5.—The
Topeka Capital, Republican, sends the
following dispatch to the Associated Press:
This city and county elected the Republi
can ticket by a small majority of a few
iundred, save one Republican Representa
tive to the Legislature named Baker, fu
sion ■candidate, and atni-IngaUs, who is
elected over Van Orsdel. The State re
turns have a decided look for Willlets, and
he defeat of three, and possibly four or
ive Republican Congressmen. Moonlight
ieats Case in the First district. Davis
lefeats Phillips in the Fifth, and McN&ll is
beaten in the Sixth. In the Seventh
Hallowell concedes that Simpson if
sleeted by 3,000. The chairman of the
People's party el aims to have received re
turns from 160,000 voters, which would
give Willets about 1,000 plurality. The
Republican committee claims that, on a
joint ballot in the Legislature, Ingalls will
have a majority.
Kansas City, Mo., November 5.—The
Republican candidate for Governor is
beaten. Six out of the seven Republican
Congressional candidates are defeated.
Senator Ingall’s re-election is subject to
grave doubt. That is the situation in
Kansas. There was a landslide, a regular
avalanche. Eighty-two thousand Re
publican majority was over
whelmed by its resistless force and buried
by its destructive weight. The ^Farmers’
Alliance did it, and it was a genuine sur
prise. The Kansas delegation will stand:
Republican 1, Democrat 1, Farmers’ Alli
ance 5. Another surprise lies in the
possible defeat for re-election of
Senator Ingalls, The Farmers’ Alliance
and Democrats waged a bitter campaign
against him, and a majority o the dis
tricts contained one of their candidates
against the Repnblican candidate. The
result is the certain election of ninety-five
Farmers’ Alliancemen and Democratic
Legislators against thirty Republicans.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, November 5.—Returns from
the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Congression
al districts of this city indicate beyond a
doubt the election of Democratic candi
dates. In the Eighth district O’Neill re
ceived 11,531, Joy 9,674. In the Ninth
district Cobb polled 10,567, Prosser 6,944,
Fold, Prohibitionist, 303; Bauer, Indepen
dent Labor, 110. Returns from the city
and portion of the counties in the Tenth
district give Byms a majority of 644 over
Kinsey. As the remaining counties are
Democratic, complete returns will increase
that majority. On the city ticket a large
vote was cast. The vote polled was about
46,000, or three-fourths of the total regis
tered. The Democrats elected the entire
ticket, with one exception, that of Record
er of Deeds.
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, November 5.—The returns are
still meagre, but indicate probably the
election of Boyd (Democrat) for Governor
by a small plurality. Alliance candidates
are booming up strong in the interior, and
the Republican candidates are alternating
between first and second places in the
country towns. Complete returns may
possibly elect either of the three candi
dates, but large Democratic gains in
Omaha and the eastern end of the State
give Boyd the best chance. The Demo
crats gain one Congressman, McKeighn
surely and probably another, Bryan. The
election of Dorsey (Republican) in the
Third district is not yet certain.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, November 5.—Five
counties, Duval, Putnam, Valusia, Marion
and Alachua, heretofore either wholly or
in part Republican, give handsome Demo
cratic majorities. The greatest revolution
is in this county (Duval) which ha# here
tofore given from 1,800 to 3,000 Republi
can majority. The returns from yester
day’s election show a Democratic majority
of from 1,100 to 1,443, the latter being
Mabries’ for the Supreme Court. This is
a Democratic gain of from 2,900 to 3,333
for various candidates. Putnam county,
heretofore Republican, is Democratic by
an average majority of 451.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, November 5.—The Globe says:
With only half a dozen towns to hear
from in Massachusetts, at 2 o’clock p. m.
Russell, Democrat, is leading by over
10,000 votes. In the Congressional dis
tricts the Democrats re-elect O’Neil by
more than double Andrews’ plurality of
1,500, and elected Sherman Hoar in the
Fifth, Moses Stephens in the Eighth,
George F. Williams in the Ninth, Fred H.
Coolidge in the Eleventh, and John C.
Crosby in the Twelfth. The Democrats
probably have the largest majority on
record in the lower house, having not
less than 100 members against 78 last year,
and from 17 to 19 Senators against 11 last
year. Lieutenant-Governor Haile gets
through with 3,409 plurality, but Auditor
Ladd is beaten by William T. Trefey by
6,555 plurality, the first Democrat chosen
to any of the lesser State offices since the
first year of the Republican administra
tion. The vote of the Ninth Congressional
district, the Prohibition vote wanting, is
Candler, Republican, 12,043, Williams,
Democrat, 12,238; Williams’ plurality 195.
Williams is elected.
MINNESOTA.
Minneapolis, November 5.—The Gu
bernatorial vote is very close in Minnesota.
Twenty-three counties give Merriam, Re
publican, 22,645, Wilson, Democrat, 23,-
178; and Owen, Alliance, 16,808. This
does not include Hennepin county (Min
neapolis), which gives Wilson 2,000 plu
rality, nor Ramsey county (St. Paul),
which gives 1,500 plurality for Wil
son. The Democrats are claiming
the State. The Alliance vote
does not cut so great a figure in the coun
ties to be heard from. Snider, Republi
can, is defeated by Castle, Democrat, for
Congress in the Fourth district. O. M.
Hall, Democrat, defeats D. S. Hall, Re
publican, in the Third district, and Har
ris, Democrat, is elected over Dunnell iu
the First district. The Fifth and Second
districts are doubtful. The Democrats
made nearly a dean sweep on the city,
county and legislative tickets in this
connty.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, W. Va., November 5.—The
indications are that the Democratic tidal
wave has taken West Virginia in its
course, and that the party made a clean
sweep. Hubbard, Republican for Con
gress in the First district, has been de
feated by fully 500 majority. The district
is Republican, but apathy on the part of
the party in Harrison and Marshall
counties, two Republican strongholds, did
the business. This showing is a surprise
to both parties. Smith, Republican for
Congress in the Fourth district, still
claims his election by a small majority.
The State Senate will probably be a tie,
which will prevent a gerrymander of the
State by the party having a majority in
the Legislature.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, November 5.—The es
timated pluralities from 65 of the 67 coun
ties in the State give Pattison for Gover
nor a net plurality of 4,793. The two
missing counties, Elk and Warren, in 1884
gave a net Repnblican plurality of 363.
The election of Pattison by over 5,000
plurality is conceded by all the Repnblican
leaden and journals.
The Democrats have certainly gained
two Congressmen, and the figures are so
close in three other districts that an offi
cial computation may show at least oae
additional Democratic member in the dele
gation, and possibly a Democratic gain of
four. The present delegation in Congress
stands twenty-one Republicans and seven
Democrats. The Legislature remains
strongly Republican, although the joint
ballot majority of- 102, which that party
has in the present Legislature, will be
somewhat reduced.
Philadelphia, November 5.—The re
vised figures from the various counties to
day, with some of them official, indicate
that Pattison’s plurality for Governor over
Delamater will exceed 10,000. Waters
and Stewart, the Republican candidates-
respectively for Lieutenant Governor and
Secretary of Internal Affairs, are certainly
elected.
Philadelphia, November 5.—The lat-
erst returns from the Twenty-eighth Con
gressional district of this State show the
election of eighteen Republicans and ten
Democrats. The present delegation from
this State stands twenty-one Republicans
and seven Democrats. The following are
the Congressmen elected, with the ma
jorities received: Both contestants claim
the Sixteenth district, but the complete
returns, which, however, are not official,
give Elliott 100 majority.
First, Bingham, Repnblican, 7,650:

McAleer, Democrat, 3,236; Fourth, Rey-

Pittsburg, November 5.—A Green
ville, Pa., special says: F. P. Gillespie,
Democrat, was elected to Congress from
the Twenty-fifth district, defeating Abe
McDowell, Republican, and Thomas W.
Phillips, Independent, by 2,571 plurality.
This is the district in which it was alleged
that bribery had been resorted to to secure
McDowell’s nomination, the outcome of
the charges being the independent candi
dacy of Phillips. McDowell’s vote exceed
ed Phillip’s by 217.
TENNESSEE.
Nashville, November 5.—The returns
from yesterday’s election are coming in.
very slowly. John P. Buchanan, Demo
crat, for Governor, will have between 25,-
000 and 30,000 majority over L. T. Bax
ter, Republican, and D. C. Kelley, Prohi
bitionists. The Legislature is two-thirds
Democratic in both Houses, the Democ
racy having made gains in the Legislature-
in East Tennessee. The Congressional
election will stand as follows:
First district—R. R. Butler, Independ
ent Republican, vice A. A. Taylor, Repub
lican, the present incumbent. Second
district—L. C. Houk, Republican, re
elected by a greatly decreased majority,
probably 3,000. Third district—H. C.
Snodgrass, Democrat, viee H. Clay Evans,
Republican, the present incumbent, by
700 majority. Fourth district—Benton
McMillan, Democrat, returned. Fifth
district—James B. Richardson, Dem
ocrat, returned. Sixth district—
Joseph Washington, Democrat,
returned. Seventh district—N. N. Cox,
Democrat, vice W. C. Whitthorne, Demo
crat, defeated for renomin&tion. Eighth
district—B. A. Enloe, Democrat, returned.
Ninth district—R. A. Pierce, Democrat,
returned. Tenth district—Josiah Patter
son, Democrat, vice James Philian, de
clined renomination. The majorities will
be less than in former years, owing to the
registration and poll tax laws, the Repub
lican party being most affected.
Chattanooga, November 5.—Evans,
Republican, concedes his defeat in the
Third district by 500 majority. The con
test in the First district is very close, with
the chances in favor of Butler, Independ
ent. The State Democratic ticket has the
usual majority. There is great rejoicing
here by Democrats, and a large jollification
meeting is to be held Friday night.
Hauk, Republican, in the Second dis
trict, has had his majority of 14,000 re
duced to less than 5,000.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, November4.—Bright, but
crisp, describes the weather from 6:30
o’clock. The voting was carried on
throughout Rhode Island quietly but
briskly. Owing to the secret ballot it is
impossible to predict the outcome.
MANCHESTER MARKET.
Manchester, November 4.—The Guar
dian’s Review of yesterday’s market says;
A little more business was done, mostly in
small quantities, for quick delivery. There
was more inquiry for India, chiefly for
Bombay. The demand was mostly for Hght
and fancy goods, -though it seldom result
ed in business, because the limits wore not
sufficient. Mail advices from India state
that the weather just suits the progi ess of
the cotton crop, the condition of .>hich is
most satisfactory. Picking progrtsses in
Bengal, This, with the excellent Ameri
can and Egyptian accounts of the crop
promises an abundant supply, tending to
restrict the demand or to reduce the limits.
It does not follow that the prices of goods
should be reduced. The manufacturers
claim that advantage must accrue to
themselves. Yam was generally dull.
There were few export sales. Buyers for
the home market purchased sparingly.
The tendency of prices was in favor of
buyers. Cloth was quiet. There was a
trifling increase in the demand for India
and China shirtings. Best printers were
steady. Occasionally orders were wanted.
Inquiry for common and medium printers
increased a trifle. Heavy goods were un
changed.
INSTRUCTED AGAINS GORDON.
Cobdele, November 5.—[Special.]—
About 600 votes were polled in Dooly yes
terday. Crisp received almost the entire
vote. At a mass meeting today the Rep
resentative was instructed by about 200
present to vote against Gordon.
THE VOTE AT TBOY.
Tboy, Ala., November 5.—The election
was quiet. Pike gave Herbert 1,538 ma
jority over Pilley, the Republican nomi
nee. Pilley’s best strength lay in Pike.
He is politically dead. The whole district
is Democratic.
