TEN MEN PERISHED AT SEA.

The Ioss of the Schooner William M. Bird Reported News has been received at Philadelphia that the Philadelphia schooner William M. Bird, from Charleston, S. C, to New London, Conn., was wrecked in the October hurricane off the Frying Pan shoals, North Carolina, and ten of the crew, including Capt. Barrett, perished. Two survivors, George W. Loud, the mate, and George Robinson, seaman, have been landed at Salisbury, Md., by the schooner Samuel T. Beachem, from Jacksonville, Fla., which vessel rescued them on the afternoon of Nov. 8, twenty-nine miles southeast of the Frying Pan lightship. The survivors hadbeen without food or water for ninety hours and suffered great hardships, having chewed the leather of their shoes to keep from starving. They have not yet recovered sufficiently to tell just how their comrades perished, but they state in an incoherent manner that the lost men were swept off one by one from the wreck as their strength grew weaker, and drowned. Sensational Murder and Suicide. A sensational murder and suicide occurred at Allentown, Pa., when George W. Kern, proprietor of the Hotel Mecca, shot and instantly killed his wife and himself. The pair had not been living together for the past three months, owing to Kern's ill-treatment of his wife. Mrs. Kern was employed in a laundry, and when she was going past the hotel to work her husband dragged her into the hotel and, barricading the door with a chair, in full view of "a crowd of over 200 citizens, shot her dead, ran into another room and there killed himself.

Wife Murderer Hanged. Albert August Becker, the German butcher who, on January 27 last murdered his wife, Rachel, and afterward chopped up and boiled the remains in order to dispose of them, was hanged in the County Jail at Chicago. Becker's neck was not broken by the fall and it was sixteen minutes before he was pronounced dead. On the scaffold Becker protested his innocence and declared George Sutterlin, the father of his second wife, was the real murderer. Four Lives Lost. Yuma (Ariz.) special: There seems no doubt now that four members of the surveying party sent out from here lost their lives in the storm in the gulf. The President and Vice President of the Yuma and Gulf Railroad have returned after an tinsuccessful attempt to find a trace of the party of eleven who had started in a boat to establish a camp down the gulf. Seven got back after the storm. The missing are Col. Stoker, Dave Unruh, Manuel Martinez and Charles Tyson.

Shot by a Policeman. The safe in the Dunkirk and Allegheny Valley depot at Titusville, Pa., was blown open by three masked men, who later were found in a disorderly house. Chief ol Police McGrath and Patrolman Sheehy attempted to arrest them and a desperate fight followed. Both the officers were wounded and McGrath will die. The robbers escaped, but one had been fatally shot by McGrath. The dead body was found 300 feet from the house. The robbers got $100. Pittburgh to Build Ships. The Pittsburgh Dispatch says: "The first real entry of Pittsburgh into the construction of large steel vessels on the latest approved and most modern lines is about to be undertaken, and with tne taking of this step comes the initial move by the Carnegie Steel Company to combat the partly successful gobble by the Rockefeller interests of all available lake tonnage. The company is capitalized at $5,000,000."

Perhaps Another War. The Shanghai correspondent of the London Times says: ' "There is every indication of increased friction between Russia and Japan, owing to the latter's activity in Corea and the northeastern provinces of China."

Fifer Appointed. The President has appointed former Governor Joseph W. Fifter of Illinois, a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, vice W. J. Calhoun, resigned. Burned to Death. Two little sons of Joseph Edmund were burned to death while playing with matches In the barn at Muskegon, Mich.

GOVERNOR-ELECT NASH, OHIO. THE BATTLE IN BRIEF.

Incomplete Returns from Twelve States Holding Elections Tuesday. Elections were held in twelve States Tuesday. Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland and Massachusetts elected a Governor and other State officers; Nebraska a judge of the Supreme Court and two regents of the State University; Pennsylvania a treasurer and judges of the Supreme and of the Superior courts; South Dakota three justices of the Supreme Court, and New York, New Jersey and Virginia a Legislature. There were five tickets in Ohio, five in Iowa, six in Kentucky, two in Mississippi, three in Nebraska, two in South Dakota, three in Maryland, five in Pennsylvania and five in Massachusetts. In Kansas and Colorado county officers were elected, and municipal elections were held in San Francisco, Salt Lake, New Orleans and Detroit. And in addition to a sheriff and some judicial officers in Greater New York mayoralty elections were held in eome of the other cities in New York. The returns from the battle of the ballots in the various States up to a late hour Tuesday night indicated that in Ohio Nash (Rep.) had been elected Governor by a substantial plurality. Jones (Ind.) received a large vote in the cities. In Nebraska Holcomb, the fusion candidate for Supreme Court judge, defeated Eeese, his Republican opponent, by a large plurality. Democrats made a clean sweep in Maryland, carrying the State by 15,000 and electing a majority in the Assembly and State Senate. Kentucky is claimed by both Republicans and Democrats, with the chances favoring the election of Taylor, the Republican candidate. The vote is very close and' may require the official count to decide it. Republicans win in Iowa by a plurality ranging from 50,000 to 60,000. Greater New York goes Democratic by 45.000. Republicans gained several Assemblymen in the upper part of the State. Mazet is defeated for the Legislature. Democrats re-elect Mayor Maybury in Detroit. James D. Phelan, Democrat, is elected Mayor of San Francisco. Virginia and Mississippi went Democratic by increased majorities, while Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Dakota remain in the Republican column. Nebraska. Returns from many districts had not been received at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, but enough were in to show that the fusionists won by majorities ranging between 12,000 and 15,000. This is a decided increase over the vote of two years ago. The total vote of the State is closo to 220,000. This is 2,000 votes more than were cast for MeKinley and Bryan. Both sides made a hard fight and got out all the voters.: It is conceded in a large measure to be something of a personal victory for Bryan, though the fusionists assert in addition that it is a test of the popuuarity of imperialism in the West. No other issue was discussed during the campaign. Each side is willing to concede that the fight was made on war issues mostly, but the personal energy of Bryan had a great deal to do with the result. Massachusetts. . While the Massachusetts Republicans elected their State ticket by a large plurality to all intents and purposes it was an anti-expansion victory. The Republican vote fell off approximately 30,000, while the Democratic vote was within a few hundred of last year. The Democratic campaign was conducted on antiexpansion and the big vote in an off year was due thereto. This is the first time Bince 1895 that Boston has been carried by the Democrats on a State election.

OHIO. Chairman Dick early Wednesday morning issued the following statement: liThe returns from Hamilton, Cuyahoga and Lucas counties are yet too meager to give definite figures. Enough has been received, however, to indicate the election of Judge Nash by an increase over the plurality of Gov. Bushnell. Thus the election of the entire State ticket and both branches of the Legislature is assured." The complexion of the General Assembly wild not be materially changed. The election of the fourteen members of the Democratic-fusion legislative ticket in Hamilton County is conceded by the Republican committee. To offset this they claim the election of four Representatives in Franklin, two in Lucas and one each in Hocking, Vinton, Knox, Adams and Pike. The Senate is claimed for the Republicans). It was known that Mayor Sam Jones of Toledo would cut considerable figure, but it was hard to figure out just how much or into whose preserves he would cut the most. In addition there was a factional quarrel between Republicans and Democrats in nearly every bailiwick. With all the flopping around no one could figure out to whom the balance would be credited when the clearance was made.. Judge Nash, Republican, came out on the top. Jones swept everything in Cuyahoga County. Cleveland did more for him than his home town of Toledo, which went for Nash.

Kentucky. Senator Blackburn Wednesday morning sent the following telegram to W. J. Bryan: "We have carried Kentucky by a small but safe majority. Sincerest congratulations on your splendid victory in Nebraska." Despite this statement the Associated Press at nooq Wednesday claimed Goebel's defeat and announced Taylor's election by about 7,000. Gen. Taylor, chairman of the Republican campaign committee, claimed 10,000, but conservative party men thought this extravagant. It is thought that the Republicans have gained so materially that it leaves the complexion of the next Legislature in doubt, despite the holdover Senators. Maryland. Maryland has been reclaimed by the Democrats after four years of Republican supremacy. The contest resulted in the election of John Walter Smith for Governor, Isidor Rayuer for Attorney General and Dr. Joshua W. Hering for Comptroller by an approximate majority of 15,000. The lower branch of the legislature was captured by the Democrats and it is probable that they will also have a majority in the State Senate. The entire Democratic city ticket was elected in Baltimore by a majority of 8,000.

NEW YORK. Election results in New York State can be summed in a few words. The Democrats carry Greater New York, and the Republicans win up-State. Greater New York is carried by the Democrats by majorities on the local tickets, running in the four counties which average about 65,000. The Republicans retain control of the Assembly, and have probably increased their majority in the lower house from 24 to 34. The Republicans made gains in Kings and all through the country counties. Robert Mazet, Republican chairman of the investigating committee, was beaten by Perez M. Stewart, citizens' union, and Tammany, in the nineteenth district in New York City. This has been the storm center of the campaign in New York. Mazet is defeated by 393 votes. Mazet may contest the election of Stewart. Judge George C. Barret received practically every vote cast. James A. O'Gorman, for the Supreme Court, defeated Joseph J?. Daly, the fusion candidate, by about 50,000. William F. Grell, the Tammany candidate for sheriff, is elected over William J. O'Brien, the candidate of the independent labor party, the Republicans and the citizens' union, and notwithstanding the fact that O'Brien was distinctively a trades union candidate he ran about 6,000 behind his ticket.

Pennsylvania. All the returns Wednesday morning indicated a decisive Republican victory, with decreased majorities. Barnett's majority for State Treasurer will reach 100,000, about 75,000 less than that given three years ago when State Treasurer Beacom was elected. The vote was light all over the State and returns slow in coming in. The vote in Philadelphia was smaller than it has been in years. The Republican majority is estimated at 40,000 as compared with over 70,000 at the last mayoralty campaign.

Kansas. The reports from Kansas show Republican gains throughout the State. The votes cast were for county officers. The Republicans have elected six of the ten judges and the two State Senators to fill vacancies, John T. Chancy of Shawnee County arid C. 0. McCarthy of Jefferson. Neither had any opposition.

New Jersey. This was an off year in New Jersey and a light vote was cast throughout the State. The indications are that the liepublicans have carried the State by a majority of about 15,000 on the Assembly ticket and that the Democrats have gained one and possibly two Senators.

Blood Flows During the Progress of the Kentucky Election. Although there was less bloodshed' in Kentucky than had been expected, liotous disturbances occurred in many places on election day. Several were killed and others seriously hurt. Pat Henry was stabbed at Mount Sterling in an election riot. Dr. J. P. Hearing, an election commissioner, was ambushed at Owensboro amd fatally wounded. The Hon. A. J. Tharpe and William Rose were fatally shot in Estiill County. John Marion was killed at Catlettsburg. Henry Gaithers was kiied at Gracey. A riot of serious? proportions and perhaps fatal results is reported from Pittsburg. Fifty shots were fired, and Dick MuKine was killed outright. At Newcastle, in Henry County, there was a desperate fight with, knives between Thomas Raizon and John Derossett. They fought for several minutes before they fell, covered with blood, and exhausted. Both may die. Deputy Marshal Bruce while trying to make an arrest at Newcastle was badly injured in the head by a stone thrown by a man in the crowd. At Olympia, in Bath County, John Adkins was shot and killed. At Covington Chief of Police Pugh was arrested, charged with interfering with an election. In Lexington the chairman of the Democratic county committee, Wila Viley, was arrested, charged with interfering with elections. Many other arrests were made

of men prominent in local political life all over the State. Men were bodily

thrown out of election booths and never

were such scenes witnessed at the polite as occurred Tuesday throughout the State. MiMtia was in the armory at Lex

ington all day, and the same thing pre

vailed at Louisville. Hundreds of extra policemen were on duty throughout the State and business was almost completely suspended. The most remarkable campaign ever known in the State ended as many predicted.
