NEW YORK.
■New York, Nov. B.—Returns from New
York State indicate the election of the Demo
cratic State ticket by a plurality of 10,000 or
thereabouts. In 1885 McCook, the candidate
then and this year for Secretary, had a plural
ity of 14,008.
The third party Prohibitionists would seem
to have made decided gains. Last year they
gave their nominee lor the Appeals Bench 36,410
votes. This year their vote may reach 45,000.
The Labor vote for the entire State is esti
mated at. 70,0 M), of which 80,000 was polled out
side of New York and Kings Counties. The
total general vote will doubtless show a falling
off from last year, although in some localities
there has been a decided increase.
The Senate and Assembly remain Republican.
The present Senate stands as follows: Repub
licans 80. Democrats 12. The next Senate, ac
cording to present figures, which are not com
plete, will stand as follows: Republicans 19,
Democrats 13. The Republicans gain a New
York district and the West Chester-ROckland
District and lose the Ulster-Schohara-Greene
District, the Rensselaer-Washington District
and the Monroe District. The present Assem
bly stands as follows: Republicans 74, Demo
crats 54. The indications are that this majority
of twenty will be somewhat reduced.
The Republicans gain one of the Saratoga dis
tricts and the Schenectady districts, while the’
Democrats gain the First Oneida. Seneca and
Warren and one of the metropolitan districts. In
this city the Democrats elected their entire
oounty ticket and gave the State ticket the
enormous plurality of 55.000. In Brooklyn also
every thing went to the Democrats. The great
fight here for„thc District Attorneyship between
Fellows and Nicoll, both Democrats, but the
latter nominated by the Republicans, resulted by
the election of Fellows by about 30,000 plurality.
The George party seems to have gone to pieces.
Last year in this city alone they gave Henry
George 60.000 votes. This-year they will hardly
poll that many votes in the entire State, while
their vote in the city has fallen to about 35.000.

doubledl v Republican. The best information at

OREGON.
Portland. Nov. B.—A steady ligat rain fell
all over the western section of the State to-ilay.
The vote was light in the interior, all interest
centering in prohibition. The amount of votes
in this city was full. It was expected that
women of the Christian Temperance Union
would turn out' and work at the polls, hut bad
weather prevented. The estimated vote qf this
city will be four to one against the amendment*.
Returns late this af’ernoon indicate that the
Prohibitionists have .overe^imated their
strength in the interior towns, and that the
prohibition amendment is defeated by seven to
eight thousand majority. The other two
anendmenG, namely: To change the time of
election and to n'low the Legislature to fix the
salaries of State officers, are supposed to be
beaten.
Portland, Ore.. Nov. B.—Returns up to 9 p.
m. from all par's of the State, including this’
city, indicate t,hc prohibition amendment beaten
by 0.0(H) to 13.000 riinjoritv. • It will probably
carry only two counties in the State. The vote
against the : mendment in Portland will be
about 5,000.
. ... \ NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. B.—The Omaha Tt?« says
the Republican State ti ket, composed of one
candidate for the FApremc Court and two can
didates for Regents of the State university,
has been elected by over 31>.000 majority. Nine
teen district judges were elected in Ne
braska. In some districts there were,
non-partisan judiciary tickets, and these
wen 1 all victorious. The four non-partisan
judges in this district, the Third District,
have been elected by majorities ranging from
200 to 2,000. In the county of Douglass, a light
vote was cast, owing largely to the heavy rain
fail in the afternoon. The Republicans elect
the sheriff, treasurer, clerk of the court, sur
veyor. and very likely, the three commissioners
in this county. The other offices, county clerk,
recorder, coroner and superintendent of schools,
are ia doubt.
TKENTON, DADE COUISTY GA., FKIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1887.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 9.— The election yesterday
passed off very quietly in this city and through
out the State, so far as heard from. There were
three tickets, Democratic, Republican and Pro
hibition. There was a falling off in the vote of
this city, but the polls not closing until 6
o'clock, a long ticket made the count very slow.
The offices voted for were Governor, Attorney
General, Comptroller of the Treasury, State's
Attorney, Sheriff, City Surveyor, Associate
Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore,
Clerk of the City Court, Judges of the
Orphans’Courl and members of the Legislature.

Waiter B. Brooks, Republican, and for W. P.
Whyte, Democrat, for Attorney General, over
Francis Miller (Rep.) and Victor L. Baughman
(Deni.) for Comptroller, overß, B. Dixon (Rep.)
will be about the same. The Legislature will
be largeiy Democratic in both branches. The
prohibition vote was small.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. 1., Nov. B.—The postponed
election for Representative to Congress in the
Second, or Western, District of Rhode Island

Arnold. R., received a majority of 543 over Chas.
S. Bradley, D., and a plurality of 838. Only a
plurality was necessary to elect at this election.
The total vote cast is 15,630, about 1,600 less than
the vote of the district at the extraordinary

than the vote at the regular Congressional
election last fall, when Bradley had a plurality
of about 690 over Dixon, the Republican candi
date. a majority then being necessary to elect.
The bottom fell completely out of the Prohibi
tion vote, but 292 votes being cast for Peabody,
the third party candidate, as against over 800
for his predecessor at the regular election a
year ago.
Illinois,
Chicago, Nov. B.—At this hour ill p. m.) it is
impossible to give figures on the election in
•Cook County. The Republicans have carried
every thing by good majorities, electing Gary
Judge of the Superior Court and Longneeker
for State's Attorney. The jury commissioner
has beeif carried. Annexation was carried m
Hyde Park. Cicero and Jefferson. The towns of
Lake and Lake View voted against annexation.
Judge Gary's re-election as Judge of the
Superior Court was a foregone conclusion. The
Anarchists were tried before Gary, and on ac
count of his popularity in connection with these
famous cases he was put on three tickets, the.
Republican, Democratic and United Labor
party. Hist opponent in the race was Captain
Black, the attorney for the Anarchists who was
nominated by the Socialistic wing of the United
Labor Party.

m.), about forty cities and counties of the State
have been heard (rom. These show that the
Democrats have elected delegates in thirty
counties. They have lost the following coun
ties, which at the last election went Demo
cratic:'Wythe, King William, Patrick, Lousia
and Henry, and have made gajns in. the follow
ing counties which at the last election went Re
publican: Appomattox. Russell'and Page. If
this rate of losses snd g;dns continues in tbs
remaining counties, the Democrats will imsr*
about three-fourths of the Senate and nearly
two-thirds of the House of Delegates, thus in
suring the election of a Democratic Senator to
succeed Senator Riddleberger.
Richmond, 1 Va., Nov. B.—Richmond goes
Democratic by 718 majority, electing the full
ticket, four members of the House of Represent
atives—Buford, Tyler. Carter and Curtis.
Norfolk City elects two Democratic Repre
sentatives: a gain of one.
• Lynchburg goes Democratic by the usual ma
jority. In Petersburg, Mahone’s stronghold,
the Republicans hold their own. Indications
f- >m the State generally are that the Demo
crats will get the Legislature by a large ma
jority.
Danville city and thirteen precincts in Pittsyl
vania County show a net Democratic loss of
nearly 1,000 as compared with the vote in 1885.
For the first time in twelve years Alexandria

claim nine out of 'ten Assemblymen in the
county, the tenth being MeDermett, Democrat.
Tbe Democrats claim McDerm.'tt and Schmei

jority in the Assembly and two majority in the
Senate.

DAKOTA.
St. Paul Minn., Nov. B.—The election in
Dakota to-day was for the purpose of voting for
or agt..r.st the division of the Territory ou the
forty-sixth parallel, and in counties where the
flection had been called by petition to the boun
ty Commissioners, the question of local option
was voted upon. The Pionetr Prat has returns
at midnight from twenty counties which show a
generally light vote on the'questiou of division,
with the probabilities that the majority
in favor thereof in the whole terri
tory will be about lUOOO. In the Black Hills
the anti divisionists refrained from vot
ing, and the vote for the division was small.
Brown and other central Dakota counties will
be almost solid against, division. Burleigh and
•other counties around Bismarck go solid against
division. Cass County, of which Fargo is the
county-seat, gives about 1.000 majority against
division. Grand Forks County gives a like
majority for division. In North Dakota, as a
whole, the majority for division, if any, will
probably tie small. South Dakota, as a whole,
goes solidly for division.
On. tli6 question of License vs. Prohibition
the counties containing the largest toms, like
Fargo and Grand Forks, go lor license, but of
the who)e vote cast prohibition will, probably
get a small majority.

net Democratic gain of 70S.
Two hundred and forty precincts have now re

in Mississippi for members of the Legislature
and county officers was the quietest everknown.
At this place a very small vote was polled,
there being no opposition to the Democratic

the contesting counties where divisions have
occurred, but there will be but few other
than straQhtout Democrats ia the nt.xi Legis

Berlin, Nov. B.— Prince William, while
on his way to San Remo, was met at
Darmstadt by Dr. Schmidt, a Frankfort
specialist, who was the Crown Prince’s
doctor during the latter’s sojourn at Ems,
and he accompanied Prince William to San
Remo. The Boerseu Courier asserts that it
is settled that the Crown Prince will un
dergo another operation on the an ivai of
Drs. Schroeder and Krause at San Remo.
The Crown Prince has been forbidden to
talk. Prof. Bargmann will perform the
operation on the throat of the Crown
Prince, if the pEysicis-ns decide thst such
a step is necessary. The Emperor, though
worried about tho condition of the Crown
Prince, is improving in health. It is re
ported that Dr. Mackenzie has declared
that an operation on the Crown Prince is
almost impossible. The specialists will
hold a consultation to-merrow. A feeling
of intense excitement prevails throughout
Germany. All eyes are anxiously turned
toward San Remo.
Vienna, Nov. B.— Prominent doctors here
consider that the summoning of Dr.
Schroeder to San Romo means that the
operation of tracheotomy will be per
formed. Dr. Schroeder is known to have
taken the necessary apparatus. The sum
moning of Dr. Bergmann or Dr. Billroth
would indicate the necessity of an excision
of the whole larynx, a dangerous and last
resource.
Sax Remo, Nov. B.— The present symp
toms began to develop November 1. Dr.
Mackenzie opposes making an incision into
the throat unless it becomes absolutely
necessary. He hopes he can manage to
operate through the mouth. He intended
to operate immediately, but his inspection
convinced him that no harm could result
bywaitingtohearthe opinion of other spe
cialists and submit a portion of the growth
to Professor Vir&how for microscopic ex
amination. There is already fear that the
growth will bo found malignant. Mean
while the Crown Prince is taking compos
ing medicines. Tho interior of his throat
is cooled with ice. The Crown Princess is
unremitting in her care for and devotion
to the Prince. Dr. Mackenzie gives as
surance that there is no immediate danger,
the Prince’s good iieilth and spirits being
encouraging signs.
OTJR MILITIA.
Adjutant General Drum Favorably Re
ports on It, and Makes Recommenda
tions to Further Increase Its Efficiency.
Washington, No\lß. —Adjutant General
Drum,in his amunj^reporttotlieSecretary
of War, states JRt the
manifested by the militia of the States is
evidenced by the high percentage of at
tendance at the annual encampments and
the generally excellent military spirit of
the-itroops. With the liberal increase of the
appropriation made at the last session o<
Congress for the benefit of the militia, i*
is earnestly hoped that the State military
authorUies will, by an increased allow
ance foster and develop
the efficiency of the rank and file in target
filing. He recommends the establishment
dtjiug each encampment of an officers’
scJool for instruction in battallion
drill and the administration of a post.
He also suggests the advantage ol
holding weekly, during the winter
months, a non-commissioned officers’
school, the captain as instructor, for in
struction in company drill, duties of
guards and sentinels and the administra
tion of a company. Young officers of the
army could be spared during the winter to
report to the Adjutants General of States,
on application of Governors, to aid in the
instruction of both officers and non-com
missioned officers. The reports of officers
on duty as military professors in colleges
and universities are generally satisfactory.

A LOUISIANA SLAUGHTER.
A Sheriff's Fosse Fires Into a Crowd, ud
Four Colored Men Drop Dead.
New Orleans, Nov. 7.—A special to the
Time*-Democrat from Pattersonville says:
This town was profoundly quiet yesterday,
many of the negroes (who form the major
ity of the population) having cleared out
in consequence of the affair of Saturday
afternoon. ,Of that affair everybody has a
different story to tell. Following are the
conclusions arrived at after some pains
and careful consideration: Trouble has
been threatening in this neighborhood
for some time past. The n-groes have
been talking freely of burning the
town of Fattersonville. It is stated that
one who is now a prisoner has made
a full confession to Hon. Don t’affrey, of
a plot to burn the town, which was to have
been carried into effect Saturday night,
but the events of Saturday afternoon in
tervened. Mr. Caffrey went to Franklin
on an afternoon train and has not, there
fore, been interviewed. The shooting and
wounding of four white men on Phari’s
plantation on Friday decided the authori
ties here to institute a search for arms in
the town, and at the same time to arrest
several men who had made themselves
most conspicuous by the loudness and fe
rocity of their threats. The troops were
quartered on steamboats lying along
side Williams’ saw-mill, about a mile
from, town. From there, Saturday
afternoon, between four and five o’clock,
the Attakapas Rangers, under com
mand of Captain Cade, togother with a
posse of citizens, partly of this neighbor
hood and partly from Franklin, moved on
the town. There are several versions of
what afterward occurred. The correct
story is probably this: At the entrance to
the town stand two cottages, the one on
the right occupied by a white man named
Hibbert, and that on the left by eolored
people. Hero, as the troops approached,
they found a crowd of from fifty to one
hundred excited negroes assembled. This
crowd was ordered to disperse, and some
of the members of the mob left,
while others remained and assumed
a defiant attitude. One negro of no
torious character threw his hand behind
him as if to draw a pistol, and then, in a
moment, the whole affair was over. A
regular fusilade was opeued upon the ne
groes by tho sheriff's posse, and four of
them were shot dead. It is asserted by
the militia, and with considerable posi
tiveness by some of them, tha t no militia
man fired a shot, and that all the -killing
was done by the sheriff's posse. Capiain
Cade seems to have bad a great deal of
difficulty in restraining his men from fir
ing, but he to have succeeded.
Besides the four killed one was
very severely wounde Two boys also
are said to have been hit. The sher
iff withdrew as soon as tho firing
began. After the affray the troops
marched through the town, and many
of the negroes retired to the woods.

A Startling Find In AnarcMat
.. Ling-g-'a Cell
The Condemned Man Prepare?! to Che*«
the Gallows and Carry His Fellow-
Prisoners to Destruction With Him.
Chicago, Nov. 6.—The sequel of the ap
parent quiet at the Cook County jail to
day develops in a tremendous sensation
to-night. Four bombs have been found in
the cell of Lingg. Soon after the decision
of the United States Supreme Court ad
verse to the Anarchists was made, Sheriff
Matson decided to make a thorough search
of the cells on the Sunday previous to tho
execution. To-day, in accordance with
the decision, the search was made. First,
orders were issued denying admission
to the jail of all save the sheriff’s
officers. This included even newspaper
reporters. The sheriff then, at ten o’clock,
directed the jail officers to go to the
coll of Lingg first and bring him to the
cage on the lower floor. When the cell
was reached Lingg had nothing on but his
underclothing. . Advised that -be was
wanted below, he begged, leave to put on
his outer apparel. Being denied this re
quest,. lie became like a demon, and by
brute force and after a most effective re
sistance be was landed below. At every
step he fought the officers, and when final
ly overpowered he was like a bull at bay.
The strange resistance of Lingg suggested
to the jail officials and the sheriff as well
that something must be wrong. Without
disturbing for the nonce any of his associ
ates his cell was thoroughly searched.
First, all the bedding was overhauled, but
with only trouble for the pains. Then the
outer clothmg, but still nothing was dis
closed. Then the search extended under
the jail cot. Here was found an ordinary
cigar-box. Opened, something was.found
to be wrapped up in a copy of the Arbeittr-
Zeitung newspaper, an organ'of Anarchist
tendencies. The paper was tenclerly
unfolded when three mysterious pieces
of gas-pipe, cut several inches in
length, were found. Under the bead
of the cot, without covering of any
kind, was found a fourth. When these
contrivances of ghastly suggestion were
handed the slier iff in Lingg’s presence he
turned an ashen pale and became livid
with rage. He talked in his German
tongue wildly, and but for his pinioned
arms would have gesticulated madly.
With such an astounding result as thft
fruit of the search of the first cell,
all of the cells of the other doomed
were also searched. High and low the
officers scanned. Crevices and? fissures
were peered into, but nothing more was
fotmd. Then there was ai minute exaihina
tion ef the find-in Lingg’s cell. ’The.cur
sory look disclosed that each piece of pipe
was closed at both ends, and had at each
end what upon the superficial examination
appeared to be a cap to ignite what may
have been an explosive material within.
With only this examination, on the’ part of
the sheriff’s officers, the machines were
turned over to some one whose identity at
this hour the sheriff will not disclose. They
are, however, being carefully and critical
ly examined.
