Maryland and Virginia Stand by Tlieir Former Keenrd—itliode Island Returns a Republican Congressman—Massachu setts Fleets Ames Governor—Republi can Success in Pennsylvania—Other States. 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. New' York, Nov. B.— Eight hundred and thir ty-two election districts in New York State, outside of New York and Kings County, give Cook 138,940, Grant 157,121, Huntington 13,953. George 8.044.

Philadelphia, Nov.9^-3:30 a. m.—The Starn. with nineteen counties still to hear from, gives Hart (Rep.) for State Treasurer. 27.313 plural ity. Those to come will increase this to about 83,000 plurality. These figures intrude both Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties. OHIO. Coi.UMnus, Nov. 8.-- -Doth branches are un doubledl v Republican. The best information at hand gives the Republicans twenty-two of the thirty-six membersof the Senate. The Repub licans had a majority of twenty-six in the last House. So far as heard from the Democrats have gained six members, reducing this ma jority to twenty. 8 a. ni.—Chairman Cappeller at this hour claims 25.000 plurality for ForaUer. and says the Republicans will have twenty-two members of the Senate, and 62 members of the House. The Democrats have defeated Tay lor for Representative in Guernsey County, making a net Democratic gai' in the House of seven members. The Republicans hope to elect one. and possibly two of the three members from Montgomery, but Cappollerhlis not includ ed them in his estimate given above. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Nov. B.— Returns from 316 towns and cities in the State give for Governor Ames,l3s.- 839; Lovering, 118.387; Earle, 10.681: Marks, 348.' For Lieutenant Governor, Brackett, 137,610; Cutting, 115,715.

The composition of the Senate and the House can not as yet be definitely given, but the returns Indicate large gains Tor the Republicans. The Democrats have lost six Senators in the. east ern part of the State. Boston, Nov. B.—Vote of Boston: Ames. 31.- 379; Leveling, 36,778; Lovering's plurality, 5,389. Republican gain. 3,8-6. Two hundred and eleven cities anl towns, with city of Somerville included, give Ames 115,881; Lovering 103.495. 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.

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. In the Senate, eleven members, all Democrats, hold ever, and fifteen were voted for.

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 State election last spring, but over 4,000 more 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. VIRGINIA. Richmond, Nov.

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 city and county elects a Republican to the Leg islature.

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. IOWA. DESMoiNES. Nov. B.—The ft'oif'i’r't special* from forty-nine precincts in this Stale show a net Democratic gain of 70S. Two hundred and forty precincts have now re ported that year gave 50.689 votes, this year give 54.341; of these Lara be has 29,354, Anderson 33,680, Cain 1,884, and Famham 17. MISSISSIPPI.

Operation of the Most Serious Character Necessary on Fred erick William. A German Physician Will Do tlie Cutting: this Time—A Dangerous and Last lt«. source. 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. Largest in the World. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Nov. B.—Tho first truss of the great Poughkeepsie bridge across tho Hudson river was finished aud swung dear yesterday. It is 525 feet long between the centers of the towers, S‘2 fe ‘t deep, 35 feet wide, being the largest and heaviest steel truss in the world.

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. The number of shots fired is estimated at from thirty to one hundred, but the firing was by no means indiscr min ate. The four men killed were bad characters. Sword Rearer Settled. Washington, Nov. 7;— The War Depart ment hjis received a telegram from Gen eral Terry, stating that he is in receipt of the following dispatch from General Ruger: “Demanded surrender of re fractory Crows to-day from chiefs. They did not deliver them in tho time fixed on. Attempted arrests, and a small skirmish followed. The principal offender, Sword Bearer, was killed, and three others of his following. Some parties escaped, but will probably come in. Nearly all who were originally at the agency are in, and very submissive. One corporal was killed, and ten privates wounded. The behavior of the troops was excellent. Old Man Roasted to Death. Bkllevuix 0., Nov. 7.—Last night while George Rospert, aged seventy-three, living eight miles south, was returning home from a neighbor’s, his house was discov ered on fire. He ran, tried to secure some money from a bureau in his bed-room, and succeeded in getting $530 in gold: Return, ing to get some paper money in another room his clothes caught fire, he fell, and was completely roasted from head to foot* He lived only two hours, aud suffered ter ribly. New Military Post. Washington, Nov. 7.—General Sheridan this morning approved the plans presented by Captain G*h E.

BOMBS. 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. OVER A POWDER Five Men and a Building Blown in Jivery Direction—Two Deaths Sure and Proba bly Others. * Parkersburg, W.
