The Democrats carried New York with about forty thousand majority with a Democratic Legislature lowa returns Governor Boise, a Democrat, and tie on the Legislature. Massachusetts is solidly Democratic. The Democrats carry two of the four Republican States, and made gains in all States where elections were held. The defeat of Governor Campbell by the high priest of protection in Ohio is not a victory for the Republican party with their forty majority cut down to about twenty thousand majority, when money was used as free as water on election day and for some time before; when they centered their whole force and debauched everything within their reach by the millions of dollars of money they had wrung from the high protected barons of this county, and they, in turn, had squeezed the same out of the men who they have in their employ. The two millions of dollars that they pul in the canvass of Ohio will have to be repeated every election or they will find their majority gone. In any place where an honest election was had, the party oi the people came off triumphant, showing that the people have enough of the Robber Tariff, and the same wil be the National issue in 1892. The people in genera will then get a chance to vote on the question. k‘-. ' 7, • W *

A baa Accident. On last Tue-d.y u' 11:30 A. M. as Rev. Washington Walters, an aged and "etpectedOsfUzen of this city, was on his J vay to di mer, being employed in the hoop factory of Everett & Hite, near ’he “J Clover L-as ra Iroad, he steppedon the switch of -aidr.-ad to look at some- > ttihig IL-ing within a few feet of the tender of the engine that had pulled a <n the train due here at 11:20 A. M. be pr- bahly was close enough to lay his arm >n the tender, when the engineer without kn- wing that anvone was rear, reversed S the engine and started back for the main track. The tender struck Wal’erson the 4 'eit side and knocked him down on the V? track and before he could recover, it run over him, rolling him around under the ender, cutting one leg off just below the 1 '<n<e and breaking nearly every bone in bls body. When trie engir.e was »topped its body wa» under the tire box, from vhfch place he was removed life wa* ex'•n t when he was got out. Just how he z une to slop there is unknown to everyo ’e. He was M 3-. n by but few people at 11- time, Two hands th ’ were employed 01 the elevator t-aw the transaction and from their testimony th< coroner render d 4 verdict exhonerating the railroad company and • veryone else trom any blame m the matter. He has lived with us about four years, being a mfller by trade, but the dust effected him so that he was compelled to seek some other manner of making a living. He cahvassed for books for *whiie, then worked for Everett, Hite & Co., in the grocery and then for the same firm in the factory. His remains' were taken Thursday morning on the G, R. & I. railroad to Briant and from there will be conveyed to the Linneman grave yard, ♦here the Interment will be. He was a devout member of the Baptist church and at one time was a minister thereof. The funeral services will be held at the Baptist church of this city next Sunday. His Wife Deserts Him. Joseph Pfifer, a German farmer residing cast of Vera Cruz just over the line, in Adams county, was in the city one day the latter part ot the week looking for his wife who presumably is either lost, strayed or stolen. She had left home nearly a week previous and up to dite nothing has been heard of her, after coming to, the city, where she sold one of the horses driven byher, to the horse buyers at Harry Deem’s livery stable, and left the other and wagon at Mast's feed yard. From the gentleman it was learned that at the la-»t session of the grand jury in Adams county an indictment had been retured agnin»t Mrs. Pfifer for larceny and the suppusiti'J i h that as the finw for the November U-rm of tne circuit court drew near she became fearful of her chances and concluded to “jump the county.” At the tee 4 vor.i it also Rained that a gr .tlemaii pan c , ;he lady and ji.fs > |..tei tn.t them might ie an elo; enxnt con- »•<) d " ith t'ie affair, Mr. Pfifer did a>» s-.e 1 f-reih alarmed and after securing : rvin-> « fthe officers returned •><■» >ie evening with . t the remaining a >rsc a-> i let the wagon, and names* at toe iced yard ’o secure the board bhl of the h-r-c wpile V. ft in Mr, Mast’s charge.—Uluff >n I h omcle.
