Brazil,, Nov. 4.—Precinct No. 2, Brazil, the Republican majority is 109, a gain of 16. NEW YORK. The State Probably Republican by n Majority of 6,000 to 12,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Nsw York, Nov. 5, 4 a. m.— Chairman Oglew, of Ohio, telegraphs that the State will give Dlaim from 30.000 to 35,000 majority. Blaine will have 230 electoral votes. The New York evening papers have been issuißg extras all night. The Morning Journal is ijnst oat in its first edition for Wednesday. It a large cut of Blaine, with the White Hoes" in the background. The Journal says Blame is probably elected, and New York carried by the Republicans. The first edition of the Son will be out in half an hour. Blslne’s Minority Outside the City Bpocial to the Indianapolis Journal. N*w York, Nov. 5—5 a. m. —The last reports from New York indicate that .Blaine will have a majority of 70,880 outside of New York City and Brooklyn. If the present ratio of gains is sustained, this would give him a majority of about 12,000. There are 700 districts yet to hear from. [Associated Press Bulletins. ] New York. Nov. 5—5 a. m.—One thousands two hundred and sixty-mne districts in the State have been heard from outside New York and Kings county. If tho 727 districts not heard from vote as they did in 1880, Blaine's plurality fn State will be 6,000. One thousand two hundred and sixty-nine •leetion diatrlcts in New York State, outside the cities of New York and Brooklyn, gives Blaine 299,929; Cleveland. 254,879; Butler, 7,976; 8t John. 15,524. The 725 districts not heard from must vote as they did in 1880 to give Blaine • plurality in the State of about 5,090. Growing Closer anil Closer. •peclal to tue Indianapolis Journal. Nsw York, Nov. 5, 5:50 a m.— The first edition of the Son is now in the hands of the newsboys. Mr. Dana thinks New York has gone Democratic by a small majority, and claims to have news at least an hour later than that received at either the Democratic or Republican headquarters. No news in addition to that furnished by the Associated Press has been received at any of the headquarter* for the last hour. Retains from the remaining precincts of this State —about one third—are coming in very alowlv, and not much is to be expected before 10 ©Vslock. The State is so close that all the retarns must be received before the result ean be determined. The crowd* on the streets have dispersed and all is quiet This election is so close that a few hundred votes in this State may decide. An analysis of the vote will reveal some strange facts. A report just received from police headquarters says that Grace is elected Mayor of New York by a majority of 10,000. Justice has already overtaken John Kelly, |f this be true. He did not keep faith with the Republicans, and it seems he has been beat at his own game and by the county Democracy. This election has been a series of surprises, both to the Republicans aud the Democrats. In the event of the loss of New York, the Republicans will turn with a great deal of interest to Indiana and Virginia. Grant Kleoted Mayor. New York, Nov. s.—Grant is elected mayor

The canvass not yet closed on that ticket, but sufficient is known to warrant this statement. The Vote In Cleveland's County. Buffalo, Nov. s.—Blaine's majority in Erie county will not fall much short of 1,500. Farquhar. Republican, for Congress is elected by 100 to 200 majority. ILLINOIS. Harrison and Oglesby Having an Exceedingly Close Race. Chicago, Nov. 5, 2:45 a. m. —Returns from the city and State are coming in slowly, and are very much scattered. Nothing further in the way of estimates can be hoard from the congressional districts. Oglesby and Harrison are running very close for Governor, and it will probably take complete returns from Cook county to determine the result. Two hundred and forty-four precincts heard from show a net Democratic cram of 6,155. If this ratio should hold out it would give the State to the Democrats by quite a decided m&joiity. One hundred and sixty two precincts in this city give Cleveland 43,127; Blaine, 43,197. It is estimated that Cleveland’s majority in Cook county will be between three and four thousand, and Harrison’s majority 10,000 to 12,000. The Chicago Daily News, from partial returns, gives the Republicans a majority of two on joint ballot in the State Legislature. The Congressional Delegation. Chicago, Nov. s.—Returns to the Times show the following results on congressmen: First district, R. W. Dunham, (Rep.); Second, Frank Lawler, (Dera.); Third, J. H. Ward, (Dem.); Fourth, George E. Adamß, (Rep.); Fifth, Reuben Ellwood, (Rep ); Sixth, Robert R Hitt, (Rep.); Seventh. Thomas J. Henderson. (Rep.); Eighth, Ralph Plumb, (Rep.); Ninth, Lewis E. Payson, (Rep.); Tenth, Julius S. StArr, (Rep.); Eleventh. Alexander P. Petrie. (Rep.); Twelfth, James Meigs, (Dem.); Thirteenth, Win, M. Springer. (Dem.); Fourteenth, Jonathan 11. Rowell, (Rep ); Fifteenth, John C. Black, (Dem.); Sixteenth, James McCartney, (Rep.); Seventeenth, John R. Eden, (Dem.); Eighteenth, Wm. R Morrison, (Dem. k Nineteenth, Richard W. Townshend, (Dem.j; Twentieth, John R. Thomas, (Rep.> According to this showing, six districts have changed the political complexion of their congressmen without changing the relative strength of the parties in the House, three being gained and lost by each party. The contest in the Tenth district is close, and the Huai returns may give it to the Democrats. GENERAL RETURNS. Members of Congress Elected in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—The following congressmen are elected: Congressman at-iarge, Osborn, Republican; First district, Bingham, Republican; Second district, O’Neill, Republican; Third district, Randall, Democrat; Fourth district, Kelley, Republican; Fifth district, Harmon, Republican: Sixth district, Everhart, Republican; Eight district, Ermeni Trout, Democrat; Ninth district, lliestand, Republican; Tenth district, Sowden, Democrat: Eleventh district, Storm, Democrat; Twelfth district, Scrauton, Republican; Thirteenth district, Brumm, Republican and Greenback; Fourteenth district, Bound. Republican; Sixteenth district, Brown, Republican; Nineteenth district, Duncan, Democrat; Twenty-first district, Boil, Democrat; Twenty-second district, Negley, Republican; Twenty third district, Bayne, Republican; Twenty-tourth district, Jackson, Republican. Sufficient returns are not received from other districts to indicate the result 4:30 a. m.—Returns from sixty of the sixtyseven counties in the Slate, including Philadelphia county indicate a plurality iu the State of 55.000 for Blaine. Philadelphia county gives Blaine 2.930 plurality. The entire Republican county ticket is elected in Philadelphia, except Ridgway, for city comptroller, who is defeated by 1,600 majority.

Michigan. Detroit, Nov. 5, 5 A. m. —The latest returns tend to increase the Democratic vote. The Free Press claims the State on the vote given in fifty of the precincts in the State. The returns show strong fusion gains in all parts of the State. The Free Press (Democratic) claims the following list of congressmen: First district, Maybury, (Dem.); Second, Allen, (Rep.): Tim'd, O'Donnell, (Rep.); Fourth, Yaple, (Dem.); Fifth, Comstock, (Dem.); Sixth, Will ans, (Dem.); Seventh, Carleton, (Dem.), Eighth. Tarsney, (Dem.); Ninth, Cutcheon, (Rep.); Tenth, Gibson, (Rep.); Eleventh, Moffatt, (Rep.) This would be a gain of one Congressman. No reports have been received on State Legislature. The Free Press has reports from 27 counties, showing a net majority for the fusion electoral ticket of 4,642; for the State tickot. 4,078. The Post, Republican, claims the election of the whole national and State tickets, and says the ratio of gains in 92 towns, if continued, would give a Republican majority of 10,000 to 15,000. The Post also claims a gain of three congressmen. It will lie late in the day before anything can be told definitely about the Jlud has prevented returns from arriving from the back towns. At this hour—6:2s a. x.—both parties claim a victory, and the full count will be needed to settle the question. Wisconsin Surely Republican. Milwaukee, Nov. s. —At 6 o’clock this morning returns from the State are still coming in very slowly, and all show small Democratic gains over the Garfield election, but probably not enough to overcome his majority of 30,000. However, the State will be very close. The returns from Milwaukee county, which constitutes the Fourth congressional district, are incomplete, but enough is known to insure the defeat of Deuster and election of VanSchack, ltepublican, bv l,oooi The election of Gunther, Republican, in the Sixth congressional (’’strict, is also assured. Thomas (Republican) is elected in the Seventh district over Woodward. The election of Stephenson (Republican) in the Ninth is also conceded. This gives the State 7 Republican and 2 Democratic congressmen, a gain of 4. The entire Republican State ticket is elected. Republican Gains in Cleveland. Cleveland, Nov. s—Full returns give Blaine a plurality of 3,376 in the city, and 5,506 in the county. The Republican vote has increased 1,100 over October in the city and 1,400 in the in the county. The Democratic vote has decreased 1,900 in the city and over 2,000 in the county. There is a Republican gain of 3,000 in the city and of 3,500 in the county. The Prohibition vote is 357 in the city and Cl 2 in the county. The Butler vote is 154 in the city. Kaunas. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4.—Returns from Kansas are very slow, but indicate that the Republicans elect the entire State ticket and presidential electors by about the usual majority, and that the congressional delegation will be entirely Republican, as follows: First district, Morrill; second. Funston; third, Perkins; fourth, Ryan; fifth, Amiersoa; sixth, llmibsck, and seventh, Peters. Missouri. St. Louis, Nov. s.—Returns from the interior of Missouri are very meager and widely scat/ tered. Two hundred and twenty-five towns and precincts, including the precincts in St Louis previously reported, give Cleveland 27,107; Blaine, 25,458. All returns from the State show that Marmndtike, for Governor, runs behind CTfeveland, aud that Ford runs a little ahead of Blaine. Tennessee, Chattanoooa, Vov. s.—The Republicans announce that Blaine's majority in Hamilton county is 1,500, Reid’s majority is 1,700, and Evans’s majority 2,200. The election of Bate,

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER G, ISS4.

Democrat, is conceded by 10.000. The Republicans claim that Evans, for Congress, has 200 majority in Marion county, 100 in Bledsoe, 150 in Cumberland, 250 in James 350 in Bradley,aud 350 in McMinn, and that he is probably elected by a small majority. They also claim the election of Pettibone in the First district; of Ilouk on the Second, and Taylor in tho Tenth. Tho Democrats claim the election of Neal to Congress in this district, and the returns indicate it They also claim tho election of King in tho First district Cleveland Probably Carries New Jersey. Trenton, N. J., Nov. s.—Camden City gives Blaine 1,500 majority, and the county gives Blaine 2,000 majority. Tho Democrats claim tho State by 2.000 majority. The Trenton Times gives the State to Cleveland by 1,131 majority. Essex county gives 1.200 majority for Blaine. It is now pretty certain that Cleveland carries the State by 2,000 majority. California Safe for Hlaine. San Francisco, Nov. 4. —The Chronicle says the figures received shdw that thero can hardly be any question about California being safe for Blaine. From present indications the Republicans will elect congressmen in the First, Third, Fifth and Sixth districts. The Second and Fourth districts are doubtful, with the chances in favor of the Democrats. Connecticut. Hartford, Nov. s.—One hundred and fiftyfour towns make Cleveland’s plurality 1,357. The remaining 13 towns gave Republican plu ralities in 1880 of 634. If they vote tho same this year, they will reduce Cleveland's plurality to 673. In these 154 towns Waller lacks 919 of a majority. Massachusetts. Boston, Nov. s.—Blaine’s estimated plurality in Massachusetts is from 10,000 to 15,000; Robinsou’s, 18,000 to 20,000. The Senate, with one district to hear from, probably stands 34 Republicans to 6 Democrats, a Republican gain of 4. The House stands 180 Republicans to 00 Democrats. Virginia. Richmond, Va., Nov. s.—At this hour (3 o’clock) the Democratic gain is 2,000, and if this ratio of gain continues throughout the State the Demociatic majority will reach 4,000. The Dispatch, tlm Democratic organ, claims • the State by about those figures.

THE PRESS ON THE RESULT. Opinions of Three of New York's Leading Newspapers. ALL HAIL THE REPUBLIC. Naw York, Noy. 5. —From the Tribune: "Tfe believe that Blaine and Logan are elected. The States regarded as safe sot the Republican ticket, when our first edition went to press, gave it 157 doctoral votes. There seems still no reason for doubt in the case of any one of those States thus enumerated. We can now safely add New York and Wisconsin, and thus bring the electoral votes secured for the Republican candidates up to 204, or three more than are necessary for election. It is reasonably certain that 14 more will be added from the Pacific slope, while from Indiana, New Jersey and South there is (at the hour of writing, 3 a. m. ) reason to hop# for more yet. All hail the Republic.” A PROFUSION OF THANKA From the World: “We congratulate the Republic on the election of Grover Cleveland as its President. The Democracy is again in the ascendency in the Nation. After twenty-four years’ of exclusion from power the party of Jefferson and Jackson once more places a firm grasp on the reins of government, with the determination, by God's help, to guide the Republic back iuto the straight path of Democratic simplicity, economy and honesty, aud to re-establish firmly and permanently the constitutional rights which have been gradually stolen from the States and the people. The danger of the Republic has been averted, and the party ot corruption has been driven out by the honest, unbought rote of the American people. All honor to the upright Republicans, to tho independents, to the citizens who stand aloof from all political organizations, for the valuable aid they have given towards the glorious victory. If the lesson of the people’s verdict is read aright, factional misrepresentation should now cease, and all parties should unite to strengthen the hands of an honest, fearless and upright natioual administration. ’’ KELLY AND THE IRISH DENOUNCED. From the Times; “At the hour of writing, sufficient returns have bean received to determine the result of tho presidential election. Mr. Cleveland has been elected. There is no indication of any Southern State having been carried by Mr. Blaine. The retnrns from Connecticut show gains for Cleveland which would give the State to him by 2,000 majority. One or two facts are perfectly clear. Os these, the treachery of John Kelly in this city is ilie most obvious. Mr. Cleveland has shown the most strength in Republican districts. In tho6o where Kelly has the greatest influence Blaine's strength has been greatest. Kelly has sold out bis party. The portiou of the Irish vote that he controls has been the instrument with which he has worked. The Republicans have lost many thousands of their best men; they have suffered an accession of raauy thousands of the most daugerous voters of the Democracy. The change that has thus begun will go on. The country passes to anew and brighter period of its development.”

Cab Traiiic iu Berlin. London Times. Herr von Madal. in his annual report upon the vehicular traffic of Berlin, as bearing upon its control by the police, gives some information as to the number of cabs and the various regulations which are in force with regard to their cir culation. The first cabs were seen in the streets of Berlin in 1815, when there were only 32, these numbers hieing increased to 440 in 1830, to 000 iu 1850, to 1,200 m 1800, to 3,588 in 1870, and to 4,733 in 1880. The increase during those last ten years would have been much greater if it had not been for the extraordinary development of tramway lines. Berlin cabs are divided into two classes, aud for those ot the first class, which numbered about a third of the whole in 1880, the fare is a mark, (for any distance not exeeed ing a mile and a half,) while in the second class cabs it is only 60 pfennings (7^d.) for the same distance. Herr von Madal adds that the number of first class cabs is steadily increasing, and that the behavior of the drivers show a corresponding improvement, ns shown by the fact that the number of complaints as to incivility, etc., has fallen nearly 50 per cent, during the lust seven or eight years. The change dates from 1873, in whilh year the police regulations provided for a special kind of axle, uniform lamps and harness of a fixed pattern, while the amount of fines was raised and precautions taken to prevent overcharge. The severity of these regulations was so displeasing to the owners of cabs that they struck, but the strike only lasted three days, as the police informed the owners of public vehicles that unless tiaffic was at once resumed, their concessions would be withdrawn, and this had the desired effect. A very ingenious plan resorted to by the cab owners in Berlin to prevent their horses being over worked is to let the cabs with even numbers go out at a certain hour on the oven days of the month, and the cabs with odd numbers upon the odd days. This division of labor is found to work very well, but the cabmen of Berlin, like those of London and Paris, complain that their calling is a very unremunorative one, and Herr von Madal in his report indorses tdis statement. A Western preacher who had been constantly annoyed during services by the incessant “hack--ing” of some of t he members of his congregation, upon closing his sermon requested such to try Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. H. W. Ilibbard, general freight agent of the Vandalia, was in the dity last evening eu route for Chicago. J. A. Perkins, of the C., St L. & P.; A S. White, of the Bee Line, and W. Hobbs of tho C., 1., St. L. & C., left for Chicago last night. Geo. Gaston, ox-chief clerk in the C., 1., St. L. Sc C. local office, rises to remark that he was not relieved, but resigned because .*s salary was sharply reduced. The C., 1., St L. &C. people find that their up town office is catching on well with the traveling public. Yesterday their receipts from sales of tickets reached $f80.40. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton company is doing a heavy business. At Cincinnati vesteday there were over 400 loaded cars standing in the outer yards to be unloaded or forwarded north or east Within the last two or* threo days an increased demand for cars has Sprung up at Western shipping points and freight men predict that Should the weather turn cool shipments of grain would become heavy. The Middle and Western States Classification Association meet at Chicago to-day for the purpose of adopting a uniform basis tor making rates From the territory this association covers to all points in the United States. The joint executive committee of the trunk lines have called a meeting of the officials of the roads interested in the Indianapolis, the St. Louis, tho Cincinnati and Peoria east-bound pools, to be held in Commissioner Fink's office, New York, on tho 14tl, 15th and 16th of this month. Boston capitalists are unloading the stock and bonds they hold on tho Evansville & Terre Haute road, seemingly having lost confidence in the property. President Mackey and his associates. to the contrary, have much confidence in the future of the property, and are buying freely stbek or bonds offered. John King, the new president of the Erie system, has issued order No. 1, which reads as follows: “The title of S. M. Felton, assistant to tho president, is hereby changed to general manager of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio road, and as such he will have charge of operation aud maintenance of tho same.” C. J. Hepburn, superintendent of the C.. H. & D. system, who has been at St. Louis Springs, Michigan City, for several weeks, has now gone to Corry, Pa., and from there lie writes that his health has greatly improved, lie can walk some without crutches, and his physicians say that by early spring he will be able to resume his usual duties. Roadmastor Henry, of the Indianapolis Sc St Louis road, states that this road its entire length will be graveled by Saturday of this week. Within the last eightceu months 189 miles of mnd road-bed has been graveled to a depth of sixteen inches, and the other seventy three miles has been given a second coat of gravel of ten inches. It is stated officially that, should the Wabash people drop the Indianapolis, Peru <fc Chicago, the contract by which the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg uses the 1., P. Sc C. road between Indianapolis and Kokomo will not be affected, a a the owners of the 1., P. Sc C. as well as the Wabash, the lessee of the 1., P. & C. were parties to the contract. So light, are the grades on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road that an ordinary freight locomotive will haul 41 to 42 car loads of block coal from the Clay county mines to Chicago. In fact, on the entire line, there are but two grades that are at all troublesome, and the company has decided to cut those down, the coming summer, until the maximum grade is but twenty feet to the mile. The plan under which it is proposed to reorganize the Wabash road seems to be to take care of the “feeders,” and let the “suckers’’ take care of themselves. Tho friends of the scheme say that it will be sure to be adopted ultimately, although there may be some modification of its terms. Then, with anew lease of life, the splendid system will enter upon a career of real prosperity. Balers of hay in the West are adopting such dishonest methods of baling by using an inferior quality, patting stones and dirt into the center of the bales, that there are good prospects that they will injure, if not destroy what promised a few weeks ago to be an important traffic to the through lines, and offered an excellent market for the immense surplus of hay in ludiaua and Illinois. The roads offer very reasonable rates to New York and New England points, but not so low that shippers can ship baled dirt, stones, old iron, etc. In recent remarks made, as regards the Wabash people dropping the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago divisiou, uo reflection was inteuded upon the present management. In fact, they havo nothing to do, di eetly, with the matter. Unquestionably, under tua Talmage administration, the Wabash sys>em is being wisely managed. The physical condition is being improved. new equipment is being purchased, and onerous burdens are being lighteued. The earnings arc, even iu these dull times, increasing, and sufficiently tell of the value of the system.

Uniform Train Signals. We have received a copy of the official report of the proceedings of the general time convention, held in Philadelphia on October 9, 1884, which adopted the system of uniform train signals recommended by a committee, of which Mr. James McCrea was chairman. A list of the roads that have expressed their views is furnished, from which it appears that exclusive of a number of roads not included in the report that were represented in the convention, and presumably concur in its decision, roads having an aggregate mileage of 24,909 miles have agreed to adopt the proposed system with the fall change of time tables; roads that will conform to the system at a later date hare a mileage of 954; roads that have agreed to adopt the greater por tion of the system have a mileage, of 4,662; and roads that will adopt the proposed system, provided it is adopted by connecting roads, have a mileage of 26.898. This makes an aggregate mileage of 57,423, exclusive of a number of important lines represented in the convention. The mileage of the roads which expressed views antagonistic to the system proposed is 15,035, but some of these lines will probably adopt it soon. The Attractions of the Pennsylvania Line. To appreciate the physical perfectness, so to speak, of the Pennsylvania road, and its lines west of Pittsburg, one must ride over them just after the official inspection of the immense sys tem, which covers 4,710 miles of road running through the best portions of the United States, aud its largest manufacturing centers. It is no exaggeration to say that from New York to its several Western termini tho road-bed and equipments are unsurpassed. The solidity of the road-bed, the substantial character of bridges, trestles, etc., the heavy steel rails and the trim, powerful locomotives, all attract attention. In glancing from the window the stations have a neat, home like appearance, even with the grass-plats and tlower beds frost bitten nd withered. Trains pass every few minutes a signal station where the telegraph operator sits carefully watching the movement* of trains, not letting ono train onto a block until it is cleared of tho proceeding train or all is safe, gives one a feeling of safety which is highly appreciated. Tho smooth banks, the clean ditches, miles of them being as even and resembling the gutters of an immense bnilding, impress one favorably. Then one feels tho more safe when he sees, every few miles, rails and cross-ties neatly piled up instead of hiring scattered alongside the track, inviting evil disposed persons or tramps to place such material across tracks and wreck trains. Then the continuous movement of tho through trains, strikes one favorably; no stopping to take coal and water. At terminals, the large tanks are filled with coal and the water is scooped from troughs between the tracks as tho trains move along at a speed of forty miles per hour. Those troughs are 20 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 1,200 to 1,500 feet iu length, and every foot two ga’ oiis of water is taken np as the engine moves through ill so that whon tho engineer leaves the tank

water scoop down the length of tho trough 2,400 or 3,000 gallons of water is forced into the tank. One is also struck with tho evenness in speed at which trains are moved up or down grade. When ascending a grade a second or even a third engine is attached to a train, rather than that it should not move along at a rate of thirty-five to forty miles per hour. One as well notices the elegance and substantial character of the passenger equipments, the day coaches equaling in every respect the Pullman car except in the chairs and berths. Politeness of tho train men is a noticeable feature. Here it is proper to note that on tho elegant Pullman cars run over this system, conductors and*porters are much more accommodating and considerate of the wishes of passengers than on many roads over which Pullman cars are run. In summing up the whole it is no exaggeration to say that perfection in the condition of the road-bed and equipments has been reached on the Pennsylvania lines, while the double track, and in many places for miles, the four tracks of the Pennsylvania road proper are physically perfect. The double and single track of the lines of the Pennsylvania Company from Pittsburg to Chicago, to Indiamipolis, to Sfc. Louis, to Louisville and Cincinnati, respectively, are second iu no respect to the Pennsylvania proper. Fast-Freight Lines. Are fast freieht lines a burden upon railroad companies? is now one of the leading questions both East and Wost. It is generally conceded there are too many of them, and some prominent journals take the grounds that all fast, freight lines must go, for the bell has rung. The St Louis Railway Register says: “Tho fact is that fast-freight lines have outlive their usefulness to the public. Formerly they might have been of advantage, although even then they opened numerous gates to fraud. For example, they would contract with railway companies to haul their cars at nominal rates, and then charge largp prices, the contract yiilding an enormous profit to the concerns, which were composed of railway official* banded together for personal enrichment. At present tho principal objection to fast-freight lines is on account of their expensiveness and the tendency to demoralize rates by unnatural and excessive competition. These organizations employ hundreds of men as ageuta, solicitors or officers, most of whom are paid high salaries, and the desire to obtain business at any cost renders them disturbing elements in the railway world.
