Legislative Ticket Still In Doubt-Democrats May Posftlbly Get tho Governorship. Helena, M. T., Oct. 4. There has been no material change in tho legislative situation in Montana to-day. The Republicans still claim it on joint ballot by three, while the Democrats claim it by seven. The election of Toole is admitted by the Republicans so far as returns 6how, but they claim full returns will give the office to Power yet. The contest for control of the Legislature promises to be very better. Prohibition Majorities In the Dakota. Huron, S. D., Oct. 4. Zack T. Hundley, chairman of the Democratic State central committee, to-night places the total Democratic vote in the State At S0.000, and claims twenty members of the Legislature. He says the vote is larger than expected. Secretary Bushnell, of the State Prohibition committee, says he has sufficient returns to guarantee the statement that prohibition has a majority of 0,000 in the State or 8,000 more than expected. Huron has accepted her defeat for temporary capital, and is in tho race for the permanent location. A report is current at Aberdeen that tho election will be contested so far as the prohibition auestion is concerned, upon tho ground that a large part of the tickets used were not printed upon white paper, in black ink as required by statute. Most of the tickets used in Brown county were printed npon cream paper in blue ink. Reports from North Dakota indicate that prohibition was carried by about 1,500 majority. Washington's Majority May Reach 8,000. Portland, Ore., Oct 4. Incomplete returns from all counties, save Douglas, San Juan, Snohomish. Skageto, Pocomish and Stevens, give the Republican candidate for Congress 7,629 majority. Tho whole State ticket is elected by majorities not far from these figures. Gains for the Republican ticket are reported from every section of the State, and it is not at all unlikely that the total vote will show over 8,000 majority. So far as returns have been received, estimates on tho rnt f nr finncrrAMAm'in nra aa fmlnws; Wilson (Kep.), ISIoO; GriQiths (Dem.), 18,121; Wilson's estimated majority, 7,GZ). Wild Speculation at Pierre. Pierre, S. D., Oct. 4.The election of Pierre as the capital of South Dakota, bids fair to create a boom which shall outrival that of Oklahoma last spring. Strangers are flocking into the city by the thousands, every train being loaded down with prospectors and speculators. Over $500,'000 worth ' of property changed hands to-day. Lots which dould have been bought a week ago for $100 sold to-day for 1,000. The people are excited, and, the town is in a constant hnbbub, both night and day. and it is impossible to preserve any kind of order. The people have been celebrating incessantly for forty-eight hours. Fort Pierre, across the river, is also crowded with boomers and intended settlers, many of whom have escaped into the reservation, notwithstanding the large force of regulars and Indian police stationed there to prevent encroachments. A scheme was unearthed to-day by the authorities which wasonfootbyagangof boomers to go across the river at midnight and take possession of the land around Fort Pierre and thereby capture the town site. Application had been quietly made to the government for town-site papers, and if tho scheme had not been unearthed it would probably have been successful. The few old settlers over there were armed, and the plot would have been attended with much danger, and as tho prime movers here are known to be desperate men, there would have been blood shed.

THE CORONER RENDERS A YERDICT. Farmer Wright's Killing of Madison Pence, of Anderson, Was Not Justifiable. The body of the tramp who met his death a fe days ago at the hands of Emsley Wright has been identified by his halfbrother, Frank Pence, and by his cousin, Samuel Pence, as that of Madison Pence, of , Anderson. Coroner Wagner last night returned a verdict to the effect that tho deceased came to his death from the effects of a gun-shot wonnd at tho bauds of Emsley Wright, and he held that the shooting was not justifiable. The verdict and evidence will he submitted to the grand jury, and it is probable that the arrest of Wright may follow. The case has been one of the most remarkable that has been before the coroner for some time. Had not Andrew Rabb put in an appearance alive and well, the seemingly certain identification of the dead man's body as his. by his own wife, would have been accepted as reliable by the authorities. The wife's mistake was finally corroborated yesterday by the testimony of R. IX Young, who lives at No. 89 Tecumseh street and who says that Rabb was at his house last Monday. There is now but little doubt but what the man. whose remains are now in the Medical College, was Madison Pence. The Anderson Bulletin yesterday contained a summary of the case, on the supposition of tho theory, and based npon an interview with Frank Pence, the dead man's half brother. The article says: He was never considered exactly of sound mind, and would at times wander about the country, generally carrying a well-worn oil-cloth valise and often an ax. He would work, and was considered a good hand, but would usually leave without notice or cause at the expiration of a few days. He was of a morose and rather violent temper, but to those who knew him was considered harmless. The actions of the man killed by Wright aro those of Pence in every particular. He was last seen about Anderson three weeks ago, when ho left his brother Frank's house, on the Columbus pike, near the orphans1 home, and went artay on one of his periodical tramps. 'At ono time he owned a good farm in Richland township, but after marrying Alice Nelson, a well-known Anderson wom an of bad character, and going to Indianapolis with her about eight years ago. and there squandering the proceeds of the farm, he has been a wanderer. She left him when his money was gone, and is said to have died in a house of lll-famo at Indianapolis a few years ago." Amusement Notes.
