LATER NEWS.
Thursday the votes in the several
counties of the state were consolidated
at the various county seats. Reports
from these so far as they have been
received show that figures given below
are approximately correct.
There is a considerable difference in
tj u , y 0 te of the different candidates on
the state ticket, and this confuses, in
some measure, the attempt to get at an
exact majority.
The changes make no difference in
the general result. \Y. Y. Atkinson
was elected governor and with him
the ontiro statehouse ticket, The
populists will have five or six members
of the senate and about fifty-five mem
tiers of the house. The latest returns
show the defeat of Dr. Whitelv, the
democratic candidate for senator in
the district comprising Douglas, Cow
eta. Meriwether and Campbell.
The only amendment to the consti
tution which has a chance is that regu¬
lating invalid pensions. The summer
session aud the supreme court amend¬
ments have hardly escaped defeat.
AN INDEPENDENT STATE TICKET
New York Will Have Two Democratic
Tickets Out.
The Brooklyn Eagle makes the fol¬
lowing announcement:
“There will be an independent dem¬
ocratic state ticket iu the field. It is
not only probable, but it is virtually
certain that it will be l*e»ded by the
name of Charles S. Fairck’ld, formerly
attorney general of the atat3 of New
York, and more lately the secretary of
the treasury in President Cleveland’s
first administration.
“Nominations for lieutenant gover¬
nor and judge of the court of appeals
will also be made. The whole ticket
will comprise, iu the words of one who
is active,in the work, ‘men of com¬
manding ability, of exalted chaj-acter,
of devoted democracy and unquestion¬
able hostility of corruption, to slavery,
to political degradation, to tbe bru¬
tality of machiuism, to the brainless¬
ness of bossism aud to the sale of
law. ’ ”
The County $60,000 in Debt.
The October county court, which
convened at Chattanooga Monday
morning with the recently elected
Judge Walker, republican, in the chair,
will make a desperate effort to drag
Hamilton county out of the deep well
of debt into which it has fallen, by
borrow iug $60,000, the present amount
of the county’s indebtedness

INJUNCTION GRANTGD
Restraining the Board from Canvass¬
ing Election Returns
A special from Jacksonville, Fla.,
says: There has developed a new
phase to the election matter in this
county. The circuit court ha* granted
a temporary injunction restraining the
canvassing board from canvassing the
return- on Tuesday’s election, an ac¬
count pf the alleged illegal adfe of the
inspectors. The bill on whicB the in¬
junction was obtained is on the theo¬
ry that, the election in the county
is invalid. The bill claims that the
acts of the inspectors in refusing to
open because/ p<Jls in four of the city deputy wards,
of the persenee of
sheriff's . stationed there to watch the
vote, invalidates the election, The
faction jienied representation alleged sheriff
that frtfnd was intended and tbe
placed deputies in the polling places
to prevent it. The inspectors claimed
that the deputies were there >u viola¬
tion of the law, and, upon thy refusal
of the deputies to withdraw, closed the
polls, thus disfranchising aboGt 2,000
voters. The bill alleges that-^if these
mei had been allowed to vk>te the
Fletcher faction would have elected
its ticket. The case will likely go to
the eup-eme court.

FLORIDA ELECTION.'
A RED-HOT BATTLE OF BALLOTS '
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Spirited Contests Will be the Order
of the Day.
A Jacksonville dispatch says : Every
officer eleeted in Duval at Tuesday’s
election will have a contest on his
hands, for the Fletcher people pro¬
pose to tight every inch of ground
gained by their opponents. An at¬
tempt will be made to count the vote
in the third ward, where the polls
were open only a part of the day and
where the majority is said to be 6 for
Hartridge. But the state law dis
tinctly says that all polling places
shall be open continuously from 8
o'clock a. m. until sundown. So the
returning board will be forced to throw
out any returns from the wards which
were closed during any portion of the
day.
SHERIFF BROW A HD SUSPENDED.
Governor Mitchell has suspended
Sheriff Broward from office, presum¬
ably because ho appointed deputy
sheriffs to guard the polls and watch
the vote. But the law is very explicit
in its language about the compulsory
presence of at least one deputy at the
polls during the voting. Heretofore,
however, these officers have acted as
peace officers, outside the booths. The
question turns on the meaning of the
word “at,” and in this connection it
i 8 noted that the language tlie^nspectors of the law
with reforenco to is that
they shall be “ot" the polls. Of course
wa « liever contemplated that they
^ hould sta y outside The governor
has appointed Hon. E. J. 1 nay sheriff
ad interim. Tnay is now state in¬
spector of illuminating oils.
„ an T i-c xrt, lEomuATuBt.
ami Aolusia counties, where ^ there are
also splits in the democratic party,
indicate thav the anti-commission,
of tbc party bar been
victorious in all three, but later mfor
mation may change this result as an
nounced from Lake.county. It is very
certain, however, that no railroad
commission law will be passed by the
legislature which was elected.
Early m the morning, in consequence
°, f fraud bavi n g bee “ threatened by
the taction holding , the inspector ap
P°ictmg power, three deputy sheriffs
wft Uted into each polling place and sig
nined their intention ot remaining. The
inspectors all over the city thereupon
closed the voting booths, awaiting in¬
structions from the leaders.' A compro¬
mise was effected in several of the out
lying wards in a short time,and voting
w T as resumed, but in the fourth, fifth
and sixth wards, three of the most
populous w r ards of the city, not a vote
was cast, owing to a failure to agree
upon any arrangement. In conse¬
quence of this tangle out of a qualified
vote of 5,000 iu Duval county only a
small proportion was polled.
Governor Mitchell ordered Adjutant
General Houston to Jacksonville, and
all day the state troops were held un
not needed, as n t a drop onSloocE
shed was due to the political * struggle.
lhe . . ot , the factional „ I., fight
mam issues
were a railroad commission and the al¬
leged attempt of railroad corporations
to .capture the next legislature, and
nowhere is the bitterness so developed
as in'Duval county. Throughout the
state Liddon, for supreme court jus¬
tice, has met with practically no oppo¬
sition. The populist cast a very small
vote for their ticket.
ANTI-CALL MEN ELECTED.
A Pensacola special says: Three
state senators were elected to fill unex¬
pired terms. Sixteen senators were
elected who will hold over and have a
voice as to Call’s successor in 1897.
Special interest centers in the effort to
defeat the regular nominees in five
districts who are known to be aggress¬
ively opposed to Call, to-wit: W. D.
Chipley, of Escambia; John E. Hart
ridge, of Duval; Charles Dougherty, ol
Volusia; W. U. Thompson, of Nassau,
and Frank Adams, of Hamilton. Sen¬
ator Call openly urged opposition to
the regular nominees in these districts
and the feeling has never been higher
in Florida than in this contest. W. D.
Chipley, in this district, has been
elected by an estimated vote of nearly
4 to 1, having seventeen out of twenty
EXPRESS ROBBERS ON TRIAL.
Hardin G’harged with Stealing a Cool
$35,000.
The criminal court of Davidson
county, Tenn., in session at Nashville
took up the case of Charles A. Hardin,
Charlton Elrod, Charles Taylor and
James Morris, known as the Adams
express robbery case Monday morning,
These men are charged with fraudulent
breach of trust and embezzlement,
Hardin being indicted as the princi¬
pal, and the others as accessories.
In November, 1892, two packages
received at Galveston from New York
were found to contain only brown pa
per. One had contained $25,000 aud
the other $10,000. Hardin is charged
with abstracting the money and sub¬
stituting the brown paper.
The other defendants are charged
with being accessories and shared in
the proceeds.
A Rich Find.
A special from Calverts, Ala., states
that a few days ago, while E. B. Shep¬
ard, who lives rear that place, was
having a fence plac-d ar mini his or¬
chard, a negro namt o Le vis Johnston,
in digging a posthole, struck a box
which, on being opened, was found to
contain $1,100 in ten and twenty do!
lar gold pieces.
How Connecticut Towns Went.
Returns from 134 of the Connecti¬

eight democratic aud one divided.

American missionary af Shanghai,
says that the opium habits of the
Chinese will tell against them in time
of war. A native writer, sneaking

indicate a wish on their part to ut

a people.”
