ELECTION FlETU FROM MANY STATES Big Fusionist Victory In New York. VIRGINIA IS DEMOCRATIC In 3Iaryland the General Assembly May Be Democratic on Joint Ballot, Which Wouid Insure Gorman's Elec- tion to United States Senate. New York, Nov. 6.—The reports re ceived during the early morniug hours from the outlying precincts of Greater New York and some of the belated re turns from Manhattan island add rather indicating'his vote ior justice of the su preme court are late and it is difficult to even attempt to estimate the dual figures, but it is believed he will run nearly 80,000 behind some of his asso ciates on the county and judicial ticket. In addition to the election of an entire new assembly, two state senators were voted for at the recent election. The senators were elected to fill vacancies caused by death in the Thirtieth and Forty-third senatorial districts. In the Thirtieth district William D. Barnes (Rep.) was elected, while in the Forty- third district Morton E. Lewis, one of the Republican leaders in the last as sembly, won. The election of Messrs. Barnes and Lewis leaves the senate un changed. There will be 35 Republicans and 15 Democrats in the senate of J902, which is the same number each party had in the senate of 1901. The assem bly of 1902 will probably stand as fol lows: Republicans and fnsionists. 108; Dem ocrats, 43. Tnis is in all probability a Republican and fusionist gain of three, leaving the Democrats in a minority of 62. Seth Low, as mayor of Greater New York, will have a salary of $15,000.

Richmond, Nov. 6 —Latest returns do not alter materially the election {^figures sent out last night. The most conservative estimates place the Demo cratic majority in the state ticket at about 25,000. The indications are that the Republicans have elected one sena tor and 14 members of the house. This is a gain of 11 in the present general assembly, hut that body will be over whelmingly Democratic in both blanch es. Held Up by Three Men and Forced to Marry Woman. Waycross, Ga.. Nov. 2.—An unusu ally interesting story oomes from Charl ton county, where court has been in ses sion. H. Reed Morrison, a prominent citi zen of Moniac, wa3 granted a divorce in the court, there being no opposition to his suit. Morrison stated to the jury that he lived in South Carolina prior to his removal to this state, three years ago, when he came to Moniac and ac cepted a position as sawyer for the Dyal-Upchurch Lumber company. He said that one night while he lived in South Carolina he was met by a trio of men, heavily armed with Winches ter rifles. He was told that he must either marry a certain young lady of the community or prepare to pass in his checks. The woman in question was a sister of one of the men in the party. He was held in custody at the point of the dangerous looking rifles until the lady, the license and an officer of the law could be secured, and thereupon they were made man and wife. According to Morrison’s version of the affair, as soou as the ceremony had been performed he was sec at libercy and as soon as possible left the state of South Carolina and had not returned there since. Never having from that day until the present time looked upon the face of the woman whom he mar ried that night in the road after hearing his story, and there being no opposition to the proceedings, the jury granted the divorce asked for.

Oweu, who was found Sunday morning pushed under a negro house ou Seventh street in a dying condition from wounds about the' head, and who died at the hospital sev eral hours afterward. The discovery of the mortally wound ed man was made by a stream of blood which trickled its way out upon the sidewalk. Owen was pushed as far np under the house as he could be placed, being fairly wedged in between the sills and the ground, and great difficulty was had in getting him out. His death is an absolute mystery. j Eeicre he died he mumbled something j about a car striking him, but there is no record of any street car accident of auy sort. His friends are certain that there was foui piay, as the ground leading to the house was torn up, as if he was be ing dragged against his will, and several of the palings were toru from the fence, indicating a struggle. His skull was crushed and there was a deep gash be hind his right ear. He had $10 on his person when he met his death. There is nothing to connect auy one with the deed so far. TRAGEDY IN COTTON PATCH. Jordon Jackson Charged With Murder Near Dawson, (ia. Dawson, Ga., Nov. 4.—Jim House, a negro, was killed 2 miles south of Graves, this county, in a cotton patch with a breechloading shotgun. Jordon Jackson, also a negro, was the only eyewitness to the snooting. He says House shot himself accidentally, but disclosures before a coroner’s jury led to a verdict charging Jackson with be ing guilty of the crime. Dr. J. *H. Lewis testified that the na ture of the wound made it aimost im possible, under the circumstances, for the dead negro to have inflicted the wound himself, accidentally or other wise. The gnu used was 10 or 12 feet from the body when other persons reached the scene, but was aftewards moved to within 4 feet of the body, seemingly to give more color to the ac cident theory. n r, n.trheon’s Anti-Diurpt!# .c $,0 SrJ^rth'to YOU more than $100 if you ’SSpMSS ‘Sldand nenee of water duri g P trouble at once JUfoW by McMaster, Druggist.

Paris, Nov. 5.—Admiral Gaillard’s squadron arrived off the Island of Syria (Grecian archipelago) yesterday ana de tached a dispatch boat, whioh entered the port of Syria and received from the telegraph station a batch of dispatches containing definite instructions from the French government regarding car rying out the sealed orders which were handed to the admiral previous to his leaving Touion. These dispatches directed Admiral Gaillard to proceed to the Island of Mitylene, whence he will seize the cus toms at Midilli, and at another port. The squadron is now on its way to Mitylene and will probably arrive at its destination today. The foreign office has not yet received the sultan’s reply to the note presented by M. Baptiste, counsellor of the French legation at CoustautiuoDie, following out the in structions of M. Deicasse, the foreign minister, under date of Nov. 3. The correspondent here of the Associated Press is enabled to make the following statement: “When the French government de cided to send a French squadron to Tur key, it debated whether to seize the customs at Salonica. Beirut or Smyrna, as it was surmised that the receipts of one of these big uorcs would be required to produce a sufficient sum to pay off the French claims without a long occu pation, whicti was considered inadvisa ble. The occupation of Salonica was at once dismissed, because it might create the false impression that France' was aiming to reopen the Macedonian ques tion. Choice Fell on Smyrna. “The occupation of Beirut was also set aside, owing to the French position and interests in Syria, where the popu lation looks upon France as its protec-, tor. The occupation of Beirut, there fore, was certain to create effervescence and, perhaps, even rebellion. The choice of M. Deicasse, consequently, fell on Smyrna, which offers equal advantages to the other ports, without having their political drawbacks. Saturday, howev er, came the dispatch from M. Batiste announcing the issuing of the sultan’s irado announcing the Lorando claim settled in its entirety as France de manded. This dispatch slightly modi fied the aspect of the situation, as H. Deicasse came to the conclusion than tne suitan womu now .... — claims and would within a few days produce the guarantees which France demanded for their payment. “The necessity for seizing big cus toms, therefore, became less pressing, although the necessity for occupation of Turkish territory in order to exercise pressure and compel the sultan to con cede the demands respecting Turkey’s disregard of French treaty rights still remained urgent. The government, therefore, decided that Admiral Gail lard should occupy a couple of ports on the Island of Mitylene, which is conve niently close to Smyrna, so should the i government s impression mat the snl- tan will satisfactorily settle the mone tary question without delay prove un justified, and the customs receipts at Mitylene be not sufficient to meet the French claims, Smyrna can yet be oc cupied. Hopes For Eariy Adjustment. “In the meanwhile the occupation of the ports on the Island of Mitylene is more convenient from a military point of view, as the French cannot be easily disturbed on that island, whereas Smyrna, being on the mainland, its oc cupation might have more serious devel opments than is desired. “The French government, however, trusts that the wnole difficulty will very shortly bo arranged to us satisfaction and hopes that the treaty stipulations will be carried but by the issue of irades, such as giving certain French schools permission to open, which, thus far, has been withheld, and also by giving offi cial recognition throughout the Turkish empire to diplomas issued by the French medical faculty at Beirut, etc., etc.” If you are a contractor, or builder, or real estate owner, want to know you If ycu buy building materials tor yourself, or for any one else, we want to know you.

London, Nov. 5.—Dispatches from Paris to a news agency here say that tfue French squadron has arrived at Smyrna and has seized three ports on the Island of Mitylene. The British foreign office has had no request from Turkey, as announced by the Constanti nople correspondent of the Echo de Paris, to fulfil the terms of the conven tion of 1876 by which the exchange for the Island of Cyprus Great Britain guaranteed the integrity of the sultan’s possessions.

Jacksonville, Fia., Nov. 4—A bloody fight occurred at Mulberry Grove, about 12 miles from this city, up the St. Johns river, in which Charlie Philips was killed by having his heart cut open with an ax.

Both men were woodcutters, having employment at Mulberry Grove. Tbey had been living in the same room for about a week, but during the last few days, it seems, have not been on such good terms, and it is stated, Phillips had prep ired to move his belongings to oth er quarters. Tne quarrel arose over the ownership of a table, which Philips, claiming to belong to him, started to race away. In the quarrel which followed, according to the staten ent of Frank Carter, the man who hm been lodged in jail, Pnil ips drew a knife on him. Thereupon he (Carter), picked up an ax which was leaning near the doorway and chopped open Philips’ breast. The ax was new and sharp, and made a terrible wound.
