Indications point to a hea v Republican majority in the lower house oi the Legislature and a majority of eignt to ten in the State Senate. ‘ ILLINOIS. Chicago special: John R. Tanner, chairman ol the Republican State Central Com ittee. said ‘One hundred and twenty-live precincts outside of Cook County show a Republican gain of forty to the precinct This may not hold good in agricultural townships, but sutticient has been received to justify the claim of 1.000 ma ority or plurality in the State. We ha.e sixteen Republican < ongressmen and both branches of the General Assembly. Cook County has gone at least .15,000 plurality lor Republicans.’' OHIO. Ohio has broken her record on Republican pluralities. Ihe largest plurality heretofore was when ohn Brough, Republican, for t-overnor in 18 . . had 101,0000 over Clemnent L. Vallandingham. Democrat. Last year Governor McKinley carried the State by over so.ooo. Republicans < aim a plurality for Secretary of State Taylor of 25,0u0 to i-OpO and Democrats concede that the Republicans have made large gains over the McKinley vo.e of last year and probably beaten the Brough bighwater marie o; 8 ... < n the basis of the State vote, the 1 epub leans ca m seventeen of the thirty-one ( ongressmen. The pre-, lit Ohio dele.at on in Congress consists of four.een Democrats and ten Republicans. IOWA. The day was pleasant throughout lowa, but a light vote was polled The returns come in slowly because of the late hour at which the polls e.ose. but enough are at hand to indicate he election of the entire I.epublican .-state ticket by .',o..'Uli, with the e.xc ptiou of Judge < ranger to the Supreme Court a d K.

The 1 epublicans elect te 1 Congressmen an the result in the Second district is n doubt, with the chances in favor of Walter 1. Hayes (aem. by a very small plurality. MICHIGAN. Returns from the State seem to justify the prediction of the Ke, üblican leaaers of upwards of .0,0,>0 plurality for their State ticket. The Rep blieans elect eleven out of twelve Congressmen. The Lemoerats concede the election of Gov. Rich. WEST VIRGIN A. Dayton Rep. has been elected to Congress, de.eating VV. L. W Ison. Aliller has alsodeieated Harvey in the fourth istnet and the Republican committee claims all four Congre-s---inen. The indications are that a Republican Legislature has been ele ted.

Louisiana returned a full democratic delegation to Congress, de pite the bol ol the sugar planters in tue first three di.-tricts. The election was remarkably quiet.

HKHEOITIP w aikai-a. One Hundred and Eleven Pemou Drowned. Sydney N. S, W. special: Further particulars of the wreck of the steamer \ airapa. on Barrier Island, have been •e< eived here. The vessel struck on the recks at midnight The sea was very rough and the night very dark. All o. the passengers were in bed. As soon as the ship struck, the life belts were served out to the passengers, among whom altnough fully aware of their danger, there was no panic. An attempt was made to launch the life boats, but the sea was so heavy that several of the boats were capsized and many person- were drowned. Some »uceeied in getting ashore by means of lines sent to the main land and attached to ra ts. Seas broke over the ship sweeping a great many passengers from the bridge, upon winch they had crowded. Other nas-engers and some of the crew took refuge in the rigging. At daylight two men swam ashore with linesand thesur.ivors were landed. Two passengers were drowned by losing their hold on the line. The survivors were very scantily clothed. and remained upon the rocks thirty hours subsisting upon oranges that had been washed ashore from the wreck, which was rapid y going to p eces. The unfortunates were finally dis overed v Maori coals, and with tneir assistan e they were rose; ed and made omfortable. < ne account says Cant Macintosh, with twenty-three of his crew and ill passengers were drowned. Another ac oun saysthat eighty-one passengers and forty of the crew were saved and ian led at Auckland and that twenty of tue crew and fifty-eight passengers were drowned. OHIO IIORKOIt. X Boy and Girl Killed and Their Bodies Mutilated. A horrible double murder has taken place in Paulding County. Ohio, the victims being the son and daughter of Samuel Gt od. a p 'Ospeious farmer, living two miles from Paulding. They were aged ,' and 5 years, respect ull.v. The eh Idren left home for a neighbor's house Sunday afternoon, b t not ret rning at dark searching parties starter. out. The little bodies were found in a brush heap at daylight. The boy’s throat was cut from ear to ear. The girl whs dei apitated and disemboweled, the weapon being an axe. ’ n attempt had been made to burn the brush heap, but it was too wet. The theory is that the little girl was outraged and the double murder was committed to hide the crime The nature of the tragedy is so outre in its character, reminding all of the dread Whitechapel murders, that intense feeling has been engendered, and everybody seems thirsty for the blood of the foul fiend who could be guilty of such bestial crime. Sheriff Staley arrived upon the scene and arrested Charles Hart aged 19 years, a boy who resides near the Good home on suspicion. Hart is an illiterate boy, and by some considered insane. His arrest was due to his strange actions at the time the bodies were found. Leo Cain, a negro 21 years oid. who had been a companion of Hart, was also arrested and placed in ail. They were afte ward taken to Van Wert to prevent a lynching. THE BUSINESS WORLD. \ Review of the Week by IL G. Dun & Co. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says, "The last week of October, with an exciting election near, annot indicate much of the true condition of business. In some trades the season is too far advanced for great activity, and in ot' rs the supposed effects of the voting hinder operations. But it is satisfactory that the volume of production is well maintained and in one or two branches increased, that no monetary difficulties disturb, that breadstuffs are a little higher, andtnatno material decline appears during the week in manufactured products. .The fact that any decline appears, with slackening in demand for some products, may perhaps bo attributed to uncertainties, mainly political in origin, while every increase in the working force hel s to make a basis for more business hereafter. At present the volume of business transacted is on the whole smaller than in 1892. though a presidential election was then close at hand. Payments through i ri..j, pal clearing houses for the weex have been 12.' percent, less than last year ami 34.4 per cent, less than in 1'9., in both comparisons with decrease outside of New Y’ork as well; « here. “Failures are comparatively small, and the eastern and western about e i al. During the past week failures have been 42 in the United States, against 35 last year, and 5u in Canada, against 2' last year.’’ AN EAHTIIqt AKE Pauses Death and Destruction in Central Mexico* City of Mexico special: At 6:35 Sunlay night the strongest earthquake sho k ever felt in Mexico occurred here, lasting over five minutes. Many houses fell. The streets were full of fleeing people. Many were woun ed ana a number have died. The electric and other lights went out, le ving the city tn darkne.-s. /Ultra c was suspended. Thestreets were filled with screaming, crying, and praying people. The scene was indescribable. People in the theaters, which were all running at the time, were terribly frightened and panics were averted only oy the police. At < irrin Theater “Juan Tenorio" was being given, and ust at the graveyard scene.the people.naturally stipersitious, saw the statues move and screamed that the end of the world had come, and tied People in trains were the mod frightened of all. All telephonic connections were interrupted. The shocks were felt in the surrounding towns, but the details have not been received yet. It is reported that three pers ms were killed and ten wounded by the shock in this city so far as known. ‘“■’■'l'vrr sf I'-ah,. Elkhart Tnd. special: During a heavy wind and rain storm at bugar Grove, our miles east o. this city, the ground was almost covered with" small fish o a strange spec es that fell from the clouds. Tb - pia e was visited by many of our people next morning, an 1 specimens of the fish were brought

here. The rural residents of Sugar Grove were greatly frightened by thu phenomenon. 4 hina Waats to Quit. The London Daily News has information that China is suing for jJeace—in fact has instructed her envoys in I- urope to submit to the powers the terms she is willing to offer. It is a formal renewal or repetition, on a larger scale of the overtures made to the British Government a month ago. The News expresses again its approval of Lord Roseberry's effort for oint intervenance and speaks regretfully of the reluctance of the powers to seethe matter in the same light. “No Eurooean Government,” it savs, “can desire to see this disastrous conflict prolonged. Even the I’nited States, cespite ths Monroe doctrine, must be concerned for the regularity and security ot their trade with Japan. Sooner or later and better sooner than later there must bean international settlement. It will be difficult to contend that interference will be premature now.” Dynamite Outrage in Loudon. London special A I omb was exploded at midnight in front of No. I Tilney str et. corner o Park Lane. West London. Reginal Brett, son of Lord Esher. Ives in the house at this number The uoor was shattered and the windows were blown to powder. The windows for a dozen numbers up the street were smashed, plaster loosened from the eeilings. and the occupants fled panic-stricken to the streets. Nobody was wounded. The neighborhood is a fashionable one. At Ao. sis the house of Justice Hawkins, who sentenced the Wallsall anarchists, and more recently condemned Francis l olti and Guiseppo Farnaro, alias I mile Leanot. It is surmised that the bomb was set by anarchists who took Brett's nouse for that of Justice Hawkins’. A Sad Accident. As the result of carelessness in handling a small pocket eraser at the Fourtcjith Regiment Armory, Brooklyn. N. Y.. one brother met his death at the. ban sos another. The victim was Robert Dillman. 2*> years of age. and the brother is Frederick Dillman. 31 years of age. Robert had asked to see the eraser, whereupon bis brother made a playful lunge at him with the blade. Robert, losing his balances fell forward, rcceivingthe eraser point in his heart. Frederick was arrested. The Judge, while expressing sympathy for the prisoner, regretted that, under the circumstances he could not accept bail and remanded him to jail. The mother o! the men is >o prostrated with grief that her doctor fears she will not survive the shock. One Dead, Two Dying. An err’ ’ ’of r.n engine at Grover Hill, Oh o, killed Harry Leetrone and so seriously injured his father and a Mr. Foltz that they .will both die. The engine was connected with the grain elevator situated at that place and owned by Mr. Foltz. The young Leetrone was blown through a door and his body was picked up about seventy-five feet away. It was crushed almost to a jelly. Foltz and the elder Leetrone were horribly mangled. Foltz came to Grover Hill from Troy. Oh o. about one year ago, and had been oing a thriving grain business. They are all well-known business men. The explosion was caused by an over-pressure of steam. Trampled to Death by Hogg. Mrs. Emma Shepherd, widow of the late Probate • u ge of Walker County, Alabama, went out into her horse lot the other morning to feed her chickens. She did not return in time for breakfast and her daughter went to find her, when her eyes were met by the horrible spectacle of her mother s mangled body lying on the ground with a lot. of Berkshire hogs feeding on her head. It is thought a vicious boar knocked her down, trying to get at the pan of meal in her hands, and he and the rest of the swine trampled her to death and munche t at parts of her body on which the meal fell. Steam boats Collide. The steamer Iron King, owned by J. vV. Miller Oi Detroit, iron ore laden, bound down, and the S. C. Baldwin of Toledo. Ohio, owned by S. C. Maclaren, lumber laden, also bound down, collided at Marine 1 ity. Mich. They were both close to the shore and the Baldwin was rounded to. The force of the shock, when the two boats struck, was so great ’hat the Iron King was knocked on the shore. The 1 aidwin’s crew was rescued by some people in small boats, and the Baldwin is in the middle of the river and is sinking gradually. American Colony Excited. City of Mexico special: Considerable commotion has been created among the Americans here by the arrest of John Horley, former proprietor of the Topovhico Hotel. The cause has not yet developed, but it is stated that the arrest is on an ol I charge in Illinois. Anothersensation was the arrest ot Dr. S. J. Curr., said to be from Rome. Ga., ostensibly for his connection with a recent street row between two Americans, but it is generally understood that this is only a pretext to hold him for further advices from his oid home.

The light between Jim Daly of Buffalo. ami Jack Slavin of Australia, at Buffalo, N. Y.. was given to Daly, on a foul in the seventh round. The decision was very unsatisfa tory. Slavin was finely trained, while Daly was manifestly out of condition. Before the bout began the referee, a'ter consulting both fighters, said it was agreed not to strike any plows in the breakaway after a clinch. This is contrary to tjueensburv rules, tinder which the men were supposed to tight. In the seventh, when Slavin had the best ot it. the referee gave the fight to Daly on an alleged foul committed while the men were breaking away after a clinch. Five Fata.ly Crushed.
