The Kellars Again.

Attorney Chae. McCabe, of Covington, has been employed by the Kellars, who were accused of the murder of Clara Shanks, to bring suit for malicious prosecution against some of the responsible men who took part in the trial. Under the law the trial would have to be brought in Parke county. The feeling against the .Kellers is still very strong in Sugar Creek township, where belief in their guilt was almost universal at the time of the trial,— Terre Haute Tribune.

THE ELECTIONS

THEY SOUND VERY QOOD—FREE

SILVER WINS.

Everywhere (the Elections Denote

Increased Democratic Qains.

Nhw lrORK, Nov. 3—The returns are all in and the result of yesterday's election on the Mayorality contest is as follows:

Van Wyck, Tammany dem.—Manhattan and Bronx, 138,216 Brooklyn, 76,353 Queens, 9,245 Richmond, 4,872. Total, 228,686.

Low, Citizens'Union—Manhatten and Bronx, 74,986 Brooklyn, 64,933 Queen's, 5,816 Richmond, 2,715, Total, 148,480.

Tracy, Rep.—anhattan and Bronx, 55,594 Brooklyn, 37,637 Queen's, 5,615 Richmond, 2,777. Total, 101,623.

George—Manhatten and Bronx, 11,574 Brooklyn, 6,700 Queen's, 992, Richmond, 555. Total, 19,827.

Van Wyck's plurality, 80,206. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 3—The returns by counties are nearly in now. Chairman McMillan, of the republican State committee, has complote returns from 94 counties and has estimated returns from the five remaining counties. By this means he has figured a plurality for Shaw, Rep., of about 31,782. Chairman Walsh, of the democratic State committee, has given out out no figures to-night. He thinks that errors in the returns may reduce the plurality for Shaw to 20,000. The republican plurality last year wss 65.522. Two years ago it was 59,0G7 forDrake for governor. The republicans lost four members in the Senate and 17 in the House, compared with the last legislature, which was overwhelmingly republican.

TOPEKA, KAN., NOV. 3.—-Complete returns from Topeka City and Shawned county show the entire republican county ticket elected by a majority over Kepley, fusion. There is a large decrease in republican majorities, which a year ago were trom 1,400 to 2.600, and two yearB ago were from 2,600 to 3,300.

RICHMOND, VA., NOV. 3—Although there was unusual apathy, it is estimated that the democratic State ticket is elected by about 55.000 or 60,000 majority, and that the democrats have twoihirds of the house of delegates and .four-fifths of the State Senate. Neither party polled anything like a full vote

LINCOLN, NEB., November 3.—Returns during the day early in the evening simply confirmed what was evident at midnight last night, that the Fusion state ticket had been elected by a plu rality fully as large as that given Bryan last year, it not larger. Early in the afternoon it was generally admitted at Republican headquarters that the state was lost, and Secretary Sizer, of the State committee, emphasized the com mom belief at 9 o'clock tonight, when he authorized the following statement to be made to the Associated Press: Kv "Returns thus far received by the Republican State Committee point to the election of Sullivan, Fusion, for Supreme Judge, by a plurality of 5,000 to 10,000. Returns show that Republican candidates for regents of the University ran ahead of Post for Judge, and we will not yet concede their defeat."

FRANKFORT, KY., November 3.—It is simply as to the size of the Democratic majority grows larger as the later returns come in. One gratifying thing to the democrats is the fact that Shackelford's majority (nearly 25,000) is larger than the total vote of Hindman the Gold Democratic candidate for court of appeals clerk, and the gold men are thus prevented from carrying out their pet scheme of trying to hold the balance of power in Kentucky politics. If all of them had voted for Bailey instead of Hindman it would not have defeated Shackelford.

COLUMBUS, O., November 3.—At midnight Chairman McConvilie said the Democrats would have the Legislature by a safe majority, but he warns Democrats in safe counties to be on their guard and take every precaution possible against frauds, which he believes will be attempted. His information shows that republican claims are not well founded.

FOR ROBBING THE HAILS.

Two Postoffice Employes Arrested

For Pilfering Uncle Sam's Mails.

This city was thrown into a state of excitement Thursday morning by the arrest of two postoffice employes, W. O. Sidener, stamper, and Guy R. Steel, a letter carrier, charged with robbing the mails. The arreBt was made by Inspector Leatherman and Col. Moore, of the fifth division, and was effected by the means of a decoy letter.

The first complaint of money having been taken from letters passing through this office was made to Postmaster Voris about Sept. 1st and continued almost daily, the principal loser being the Tribe of Ben Hur. On Sept. 10 Mr. Voris made a detailed statement of the case to the department at Washington with the request the case be made "special." The investigation began at once and after rntich difficulty was finally traced direct to this office. On last Monday evening Inspectors Leatherman and Moore .ir. rived in this city and on Wednesday night a decoy letter, containing three one dollar bills and a silver half dollar, all peculiarly marked, was postmarked Kansas and addressed to the Tribe of Ben Hur. This letter did not reach its destination and Inspector L-iatherman at onco arrested Mr. Sidener and charged him with the theft. He a-lmitted his guilt and the marked money was found on his person. He thereupon made a clean breast of the whole affair and implicated Mr. Steel who waB at once arrested and also confessed. The amounts taken were not large and will probably not aggregate to exceed $100. The young men were taken to Lafayette on the afternoon train and arraigned before the United States Commissioner whore they waived examination and gave bond in the sum of 8500 each to await the.

action of

the Federal grand jury which

convenes at Indianapolis on Nov. 9. Nothing but sincere sympathy and regret is heard on every hand for these unfortunate young men. They were faithful and efficient employes, popular with all classes and have hundreds of friends who have voluntarily come forward to use every influence in their behalf. There is no doubt the penalty will be made as light as the seriousness of the offense will permit.

Wants $10,000 Damages. John Camplin, of Jamestown, has brought suit against the Big Four railroad company, in this county, for $10,000. He sets forth in his complaint that prior to Nov. 2, 1895, he was an abla bodied healthy man, capable of any kind of manual labor and able to aarn S75 per month. He is now a helpless cripple and he hold& the road responsible for his unfortunate condition, On Aug. 12,1895, he took a position as freight brakeman with the road and performed his duties faithfully. On Nov. 2, while in the discharge of his duties at Danville, 111, through the carlessness of the engineer of his train, Henry Harshman, he wa« thrown from the top of a car of a moving train, the wheels passing over his leg, rendering amputation necessary. He claims the accident left him pennylesa and helpless. Thomas & Whittington are his attorneys

An Oversight.

Alston & Killen, the livermen of New Richmond. Were overlooked in our last week's write up from that town. This firm has engaged in the livery business for one year, while Mr. Alston was previously engaged in the business for six year. This new firm is the favorite of New Richmond and besides a specialty of livery horses they do a good boarding business and are considered the leading livery firm of Coal Creek township. ,x

The church presided over by Wright Rev. Father J. R. Dinnen of Lafayette was looted by burglars last week and valuables to the amount of $3,000 carried away.
