FLORIDA'S BALLOT BATTLE
The Democrats Victorious Nearly
Everywhere.
The Populiata Make a Strong Fight in
Only Five Counties in the Entire
State-St. Clair-Abrams Relegated
to the Rear and Marks Sent Back to
the Capital— A List of the Members
of the Senate and House.
Jacksonville. Oct. 3.—As already indi
dicated by dispatches to the Mousing
News, the democrats swept nearly every
county in Florida in yesterday's election.
In only a very few counties did the popu
lists make much of a showing.
In Baker county, tho populists made a
strong showing, and the result between
Cole idem, i and Herndon (pop.) for the
legislature is in doubt.
In Calhoun the populists developed con
siderable strength, but the indications
are that the democrats have elected Pir
rong to the lower house.
In Osceola, owing to dissentions among
the democrats. Mosely. jiopulist, polled an
unexpectedly large vote, and it is possible
that he has defeated Oliver, democrat.
In Sumter the result is in doubt be
tween Nelson, democrat, and Wicker, •
populist, on the legislative ticket. The
populists also develojied considerable
strength on the county ticket, and it
seems probable that their nominees have
been chosen.
In Washington county, Wells was the
democratic nominee for the legislature,
but it will require the official count to de
cide whether he has defeated his populist
opponent.
In spite of these close counties, how
ever. the lower house of the legislature
will be overwhelmingly democratic. The
greatest interest, however, in the election
centered in the contests in Duval, Nas
sau, Yolusa and Bake counties. In Duval
county, on the faceof the returns. Fetoher
bas been defeated by Hartridge by a bare
majority for tne Seriate. Dancy and
Plummer, the anti" nominees for the
House of Representatives, also have an
apparent majority
In Nassau county the ticket headed by
Tnompson for the Senate seems to have
won. although the race will be very
close and it will require the official count
to decide whether the Kelly ticket has
been beaten or not.
In Volusia countv the returns indicate
that the ticket headed by ('harles Cougn
erty. for senator, has been elected.
Probably, however, the greatest inter
est centered in Use county, where Alex
St Clair Abrams was the candidate of
the people against the corporations. The
returns from I-ake indicate that Mai.
Abrams made a gallant tight for the
rights of the people, but was defeated by
the unscrupulous use of money by the
railroao corporations and by the Intimi
dation of voters Maj. Abrams oonredes
that he has oneu defeated by Mcl.in by a
majority of about 100, but dispatches to
the Times-Union indicate that McCin’s
majority will be in excess of the estimate
made by Ms. Abrams.
Dispatches from <>range and Osceola
counties show that Ma, Marks, who re
signed upon a challenge from Maj.
Abrams, has been re-elected over his pop
ulist opponent. McGuire, by a large ma
jority. In Monroe and ].ee counties there
were three, candidates for the Senate.
Phipps and Pendleton, of Key West, and
Luckey, of T>ee county. Phipps was the
regular democratic nominee, and the re
turns indicate that he has won over Pen
dleton and Buckey by a small majority.

candidate for state senator, received at
that precinct. ‘2UI votes, and Joseph M.

In Franklin County: The returns is

senator from Wakulla, Franklin and
j Liberty counties.
Gadsen county complete will not poll
i over 400 votes. James E. Broome, for
state senator, and Lycurgus B. Gregory
and Mortimer Bates, for th" legislature,
are elected without opposition, and will
receive the full party vote. The amend
ments will be snowed under
In Hillsboro county the election
amounted to nothing more than the rou
tine of casting the votes, and the election
of the full democratic ticket as follows
State senator, Thomas Palmer: members
of the House of Representatives. C B.
Wilder. T. F. McCall: members of ooard
of public instruction, W. B. Henderson,
Dr. G. H Symmes, Prof E. G. Burney;
cleric of circuit court. Charles Wright;
clerk of the criminal court. W. T. Lesley ;
tax Assessor, Charles E. Worth : tax col
lector, William E. Bledsoe; county treas
urer, Isben S. Giddens. As there has
been no county campaign, the vote was
light. It is thought that there will be be
tween 2,000 and 2.500, with the possible
populist vote of from 200 to 300. Not a
single democratic candidate made any ef
fort for election.
The election throughout Jefferson j
county was exceedingly quiet and devoid 1
of special interest. There was not a
shadow of opposition to the ticket nomi
nated at the primaries, and indications
are the lightest vote polled in the county
for thirty years will be the result. The
election of E. B. Bailey to the Senate, T. |
B. Clarke and D. H. Mays to the lower
bouse; J. P. Grantham, as tax assessor;
J. H. Tucker, as collector of revenue; B.
W. Partridge, as county treasurer; C. J.
Garwood, Charles T. Sheppard and J. W.
Weth.ngton as members of the board of
public instruction is assured. The indi
cations are that the vote upon the amend
ment to the school law and assessing the
cost of criminal prosecutions will be prac- j
ticall.v solid against the same, and upon !
the question of qualifying electors of for
eign birth, in favor of the same.
I.EK COUNTY.
In I.ee county the regular democratic
ticket carried everything The senato
rial vote gives Pendleton about one-third,

bers of school board, H. C. Parker, W.
(H Roberson, and Dr. J. L. Kelly. An
effort was made at the various precincts
throughout the county to poll as large a
vote as possible, so as to insure a larger
representation at the state convention.
This effort was. however, without suc
cess, as the vote is a comparatively small
one.
In Monroe county the regular domoc- ]
racy is victorious, sweeping everything. 1
The whole ticket is ele-ted. Phipps’ I
majority over Pendleton will be 150.
There was no opposition to the regular
democratic nominees in Brevard county,

indicate that the democrats have elected
the following ticket: Thomas J. Raker
for the legislature. W. Adams for as

The entire democratic ticket in Suwan
nee county is elected beyond doubt, as
there was very little opposition The

democratic candidate for the legisture,

race and the result is doubtful. Horne

from Bradford county. Wills and Gas
kins are chosen for the legislature.

off quietly. Only otic ticket was iu the
field, and a light vote was cast. Re

for state senator, 1s elected by 800 ma
jority. The democratic ticket for all
other offices is elected.

FITZSIMMONS' CHAMPIOKSHIP.
The Olympic Club Notifies Corbett of
Ita Action.
New Orleans. La . Oct. 3.—The follow
ing telegram was sent to-day by the
Olympic Club:
To James J Corbett Boston Mas* At a
regular me-ting of the I oara of directors of
the Olympic Club, held Tuesday. Oct. 2. 18*4.
a resolution was passed unanimously declar
ing Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavy
weight o' the world and he will
be compelled to defend the title
against the best man that can be
found in the world. The board of
directors were compelled to take this action
on a count of your persistent refusal to meet
Robert Fitzsimmons, who had complied with
every requirement, ar.d the subterfuge you
resored to in causing O Donnell to challenge
Fitzsin.wons Is not worthy of consideration
It was in the Olympic Club that the heavy
weight championship of the world was lost by
John I. >uil,van and won by you and It is
now within the province and the duty of the
(ilympic Club to declare Robert Fitzsimmons
the champion heavyweight of the world.
William A Scholl,
President Olympic Club.
A similar message was sent to Robert
Fitzsimmons at Newark, N. J., notifying
him of the club's action and that he'will
have to defend the champion heavy
weight title in the month of February,
1*95. against the best man that can be
found in the world.
DEMPSEY SOW OS DECK.
The following explains itself:
To the Sporting Editor. Daily Item.— Dear
Sir Judging from the tone of Mr. Fitzsim
mons letter in the morning papers I take it
for granted that he has relinquished the title
of middle weight champion. If this be so, I
hold myself ready to deiend that title.
I will meet any man in the world at 154
pounds, and as a token of good faith I deposit
In your hands the enclosed check for Iftivi
John E. Dempsey.
CORBETT CHASGES HIS MISD.
New York, Oct. 3.—The evening Tele
gram this evening prints the following:
••James J. Corbett has changed his mind
about fighting Bob Fitxsimmons for the
championship of the world. He has over
come his objection to meeting a middle
weight. and has announced his intention
of covering Fitzsimmons' money, now
held by the sporting editor of the Herald,
and he will be in the city to make the
match one week from to-morrow.
Corbett communicated this information
to a prominent sporting man this after
noon, who said: "Corbett will go into
this match against mv judgment. I
furnished part of the stake money for his
fight with Sullivan, but l deplore his
action in meeting a middle-weight. It
will add nothing to his prestige if he
wins, and it is a big chance. However,
he knows best what he wishes to do.”
Corbett’s action in receding from the
position he assumed Monday is a great
surprise to his friends and enemies alike.
FITASrMMONS DELIGHTED.
Derby. Conn., Oct. 3.—80 b Fitzsim
mons received a telegram from the New
York Herald to-night stating that Cor
bett had covered tho money at the Her
ald office. Fitzsimmons was about as
much pleased at the news as a boy with
his first pair of pants. He said he would
meet Corbett at the Herald office on Oot.
11, to sign an agreement, and would do
all he could to force Corbett into
signing. He says he is willing to make
any reasonable sacrifice to bring on the
fight. He will in February or after
Corbett s theatrical season ends. He
prefers fighting before the Olmypic Club,
but will tight anywhere, for any sum, and
under almost any conditions.
KEY WEST IN THE CYCLONE.
Considerable Damage Done to the Dry
Tortugas Quarantine Station.
Washington, Oct. 3.—Reports were re
ceived at the marine hospital bureau to
day from the officers in charge of the Key
West and Dry Tortugas quarantine sta
tions. giving an account of the late storm
and the damage it did the stations.
Surgeon Young, in his report regard
ing the Key West station, says that the
storm lasted from Sept 23 to 25. The
wind at times reached a velocity of 104
miles an hour and averaged 84 miles. Dur-
Sept. 24 the roof of the hospital building
began to leak On the merning of Sept.
25 the sea swept over the sea wall and
the waves rolled against tbe building,
and all hands were called to save prop
erty. In the afternoon a section of the
boat railway from Fort Ja.vlor lodged
against the head of tho pier and seriously
endangered it. Medical supplies recently
received were soaked, and the rooms
were flooded, compelling the abandon
ment of the quarters.
The Dry Tortugas station, Surgeon Car
ter reports, was considerably damaged.
Chimneys were blown down, holes
knocked in the roof and windows blown
out.
STABLE BOTTOM OFF DIAMOND BHOAI.S.
The recent heavy storm on the Atlantic
coast demonstrated the gratifying fact
that a stable bottom has been found off
Diamond Shoals, Cape Hattcras, North
Carolina. Some time ago on borings made
by the light house board of the treasury,
temporary pilings wore driven down at
this point. Tho recent storm did not
budge them, and if such temporary work
can withstand such a furious storm, the
belief is entertained that permanent piles
will remain secure, by means of which a
solid foundation can be made upon which
to erect a light house, which is so badly
needed on this dangerous coast.
CAROLINA CENTRAL.
The Agreement With the Seaboard Air
Line Going Into Effect.
New York, Oct. 3.—The final arrange
ments to complete the agreement between

olina Central railroad and the Seaboard

Blackford of Baltimore, chairman of the
bondholders' committee, deposited the
money with the Union Trust company of
New York. More than the required num
ber of bends having assented to the
agreement the bondholders can get the
money for their July interest by signing
the agreement and depositing their cou
pons, as provided, with the Union Trust
Company. By the terms of the agree
ment 4 per cent, in cash is to be paid each
year for five years upon the coupons and
certificates which bear 5 per cent, inter

this morning, states that great consterna
tion prevails among the Chinese in Kirin,
province of Manchooria. in consequence of
Japanese troops landing near Hanchun.
The government has levi and a heavy tax

A Central News dispatch from Shang
hai says that Han-Keoo province has been
depleted of troops. The viceroy, in an
ticipation of a rebellion, is causing the
construction of fortifications at Woo-
Chang. The British consul advises that
ail women and children be sent to places
of safety. A volunteer corps has been
formed in Han-Keoo for the protection of
the city should trouble arise there.
ENGLAND MAT SEND TROOPS.
The secretary >of state for foreign af
fairs. the Ear! of Kimberley, has been in
communication with the Indian govern
ment and preparations are being made to
concentrate English ar.d Indian troops in
readiness to proceed further east. It is
added that the sanction of the cabinet is
necessary before any further steps are
possible. A dispatch received here from
Portsmouth says rumors are current
there in regard to extensive naval prepa
rations. The various heads of depart
ments at the dock yards had a conference
this morning, at which the opinion of the
officers was taken in regard to the time the
first division of reserve ships could be in
readiness to put to sea. The dispatch
adds that the training squadrons' de
parture for the West Indies has been
postponed from Saturday next to Wed
nesday week. If necessary the cruise of
the squadrons will be abandoned and the
men on board the training ships will be
transferred to ships which will be shortly
commissioned.
W. P. O’Connor, British minister at
Pekin, has cabled to the Earl of Kimber
ley, secretary of state for foreign affairs,
urging upon him the necessity for taking
steps to protect the hves and property of
British residents in I’okin and Tien-Tsin.
The Sun learns, it say?, that a portion
of the British channel fleet will be or
dered to Gibraltar in order to reinforce
the British Mediterranean squadron.
TROOPS fOB TREATY PORTS.
The Earl of Kimberly, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, has opened communi
cation with the Indian government, with
a view of making drafts upon the English
troops now serving in India, for the pur
pose of strengthening the defences of the
treaty ports in China in anticipation of
an uprising of the natives. The sanction
of the cabinet must, however, be ob
tained before any such steps can be taken.
The Central News, however, says that
the arrangements for the above action
were all settled before there was any
actual outbreak between China and
Japan.
MORE JAPS IN KOREA.
Shanghai, Oct. 2. Native papers con
firm the report that 5,000 Japanese troops
have lauded in the northeastern portion
of Korea.
The Europeans who were wounded in
the battle fought off the Yalu river are
well.
It is reported that the Chinese soldiers
who retreated from Ping Yang have taken
up their position at Ngan, where they
have been joined by troops which were
landed on the bank* of the Yalu river
and by others frdm Shin King. This
Chinese force is reported to be entrench
ing itself in the most thorough manner
possible and it is thought probable
that the result of the war will be decided
in a battle which, it is expected, must
surely be fought at Mgan.
The Chinese authorities of this city at
tempted to arrest a Japanese traveler
from Manchooria on his arrival here from
Tien Tsin. The Chinese claim they were
justified in seeking to make the arrest, as
the Japanese was suspected of being a
spy. A police informer took charge of
the man and handed him over to the
American consul.
The Chinese warships, which had been
assembled here, have been ordered to pro
ceed to ports in North China.

Chicago, Oct. 3. —Phil D. Armour, when
shown the report from Brunswick. Ga.,
that he had offered $1,000,000 for the
Jekyl Island club house and island char
acterizes the story as ridiculous. He had
never heard of Jekyl Island, did not have
$1,000,000 to invest in anything, and if he
had he would not invest it in Jekyl Island.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
I make my BETlsiotboor'"^^
Some weeks ago I offered •50.00 cash
to any man who received over my bar a
bad glass of beer. I then handled noth
ing but the famous FAUST beverage,
which was a special favorite for a number
of years.
My patrons have since convinced me
that our own TIVOLI Is now the best on
onr market, and as 1 have been serving
this beer for some time and
keep It In strictly first-class con
dition, I will give any man 8100
who will acknowledge that the glass of
beer drank in my place is not superior to
any in this city.
I still guarantee to serve only the very
best. Respectfully,
JACK CARR,
