He made It one of mud slinging and personal abuse, which did not appeal favorably to the intelligent voters of the State. Henry Vote nt Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. 6. The vote of Cincinnati was unusually large. One hundred and ten precincts of the '26 in the city gave Bushnell 18,0:-Campbell, ,wtl This Indicates a gain upon two years ago for the Republicans.

Returns from varl3us parts of the Western Reserve report Republican gains almost uniformly. The (rote was everywhere light, but the falling jTt was largest In the Democratic vote. There was no special effort apparently to defeat Republican candidates for the Legislature, and they win in all the counties that go Republican for the head of the ticket. There are few definite returns yet, as the counting is slow. HoefTer Prolmhly Defeated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENVILLE. O.. Nov. 5. The election here to-day showed an increased vote. Campbell has about one thousand plurality. The vote on Representative on returns so far received show that W. S. Ludwick, Democrat, may defeat C. W. Hoeffer. Republican, by a small plurality. Hoeffer probably carries Greenville. A Lonesome County COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5. Franklin county is the only one in the State showing a big Democratic gam.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5.-Scattering returns received up to 1 o'clock, including this city and county, give Hardin a majority of 1.700. These returns come from every county in the State. Four years ago, in the race for Governor, the Democratic majority was 28,081, and some Idea of the present result may be gleaned from the fact that the Republicans made the following gains In counties remotely situated: Adair, 243; Allen, 473; Mercer, 2S6; Madi3on, 233; Breckinridge, &i0; Boyd, Kfi; Cumberland. 257; Franklin, 5SS. In this county the Republican gain will be over 11,000. The Courier-Journal, In its midnight extra, says; "The returns possible at this hour are too far from complete to do more than serve as indications. They show generally that the Democrats have suffered losses in most, counties. In some counties they, seem to have gained slightly. The vote was not a3 heavy as had been expected. The Republicans lead in a!l the legislative races except in the Forty-eighth district, where Carroll had a walkover. From present indications John H. Weller is defeated for the State Senate by Christian Stege." The attention of the committeemen and newspapers is so much centered on the race for Governor that the legislative- contests outside of Jefferson county are overlooked In the returns. The reports are too meagre for general use. The indications at thl3 writing are that the vote of this county will decide the race for Governor. Whatever the result the majority will be very small. In fact, it will not be a majority, but a plurality. Garrard, Bradley's county, gives a Republican, gain of 1S1. Every county from which complete returns have been received show large Republican gains. At 11 o'clock last night the chairman of the Republican county committee, with returns from two-thirds of the precincts before .him, claimed that the majority for Bradley in Jefferson county, including this tV. WOT1 til h fiv fVift'isiTid Tha 111 clhcfireported give a Republican majority of 3,738. The Republicans have captured all of the offices, with three minor exceptions. In addition to this they have won the Appellate Judgeship and gained two Representatives in lower house of the Legislature. The municipal officers elected to-day are for the legislative branches of the city governrment, councilmen, school trustees, etc. - The Post (Dem.). in its extra Issued at 11 o'clock last night, said: At this writing the returns are coming in scattering from all portions of the State. It appears that IUd!n leads the Democratic tkket. But it also appears that Bradley leads Hardin, or. If not, Hardin's majority Is so small as to amount to a virtual defeat. Outside of Louisville Bradley carries the county of Jefferson by 210, and Speed, the Republican candidate for the Legislature, is elected, thus depriving Blackburn of one vote. It Is not probable that Bradley's majority will exceed 5,000 in this, the Fifth, district. Graves, county. Hart, Logan. Hopkins, Hardin. Nelson. Boyle and Franklin all show large Republican gains. The result will depend largely on the First district and the returns from the Eleventh. From these two distant districts the returns are too meager to indicate dacided results. Summarizing the results, it may be said at this writing that the majority will not exceed 5,000 either way. Mercer, the home county of Hardin, at the previous election for Governor, gave a Democratic majority of 258. At this elecHONE BETTER MADE $ mm. .Or r .VX--V ;12 nn n n

Only one man, Jacob Enrlght, an A. P. A., was seriously wounded. The rioters scattered. Ilrlarnn at MldtilRlit. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.

Xo Doubt About Mr. Allison ReElection to Hie Senate. PES MOINES. Ia., Nov. 5. At 11 o'clock Republicans claim the State by 05,000, while the Democrats concede C3,0C6, which was Jackson's plurality two years ago. The final figures will probably place it nearer the former than, the latter. Present indications are that It cannot go below C0.0C0. as tabulated precincts show an average gain over two years ago of about 16. The total vote cast will be about 27.C00 less than two years ago. and about 33.0CO less than last year. Most of these losses are Democratic. The Populists make some gains, mostly from the Democrats. The Prohibitionists are not polling as large a vote as they did two years ago. All these figures are liable to change, as the precincts not yet reported are liable to show important changes. On the Legislature few returns have been received. The Republican committee estimates the House 74 Republicans and 26 Democrats, and the Senate 42 Republicans and 8 Democrats. This gives Senator Allison 116 out of 150 votes on Joint ballot next winter, when he comes up for re-election. Midnight Republicans carrj' tie SJate by 73,000. POPULISTS II EAT EX. IlejMiMIcnnn Win n Decided Victory Thronfthout KnnnnM. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 5. Returns up to about midnight Indicate that the Republicans of Kansas have carried a majority of their county tickets in their entirety by pluralities of from two hundred to eight hundred and that David Martin, Republican candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, is re-elected by a handsome majority. In many instances Martin ran ahead of his ticket. Charles K. Holliday, Jr., Democrat, however, made a better showing than was generally anticipated for him. Republicans carry Wyandotte, Butler, Cherokee, Montgomery, Reno and Johnston counties, but as a rule losses are shown over last year's elections. The 'Populists carry Clay county and the fuslonists Lyons and Sedwick counties. Atchison and Shawnee counties are missing. It has been raining for several hours and returns from many counties will net be received until morning. Additional returns Increase the number of counties carried by the Republicans and indicate that they will have . practically all of the offices. Martin's majority over Holliday for Chief Justice will probably reach 10,0(X), a decided record on the resubmission question which the latter candidate represented. Holiday was a free silver candidate. It Is estimated that 230,000 votes were polled. Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist State central committee, assert? that his party held their own and elected about thirty county officers now held by Republicans. lie claims further that Populist Judges were elected in the Sixth, Eighth and Eighteenth districts and that the result In the Seventh, Ninth and Twentieth districts Is In doubt. The others are admittedly Republican. The Democratic and Republican chairmen have not made any statements publicly, but it is generally conceded that the Democrats got practically, no offices and that the Republicans with few exceptions carried everything. The fusion tickets detracted to some extent from the Republican support and the A. P. A. contingent aided the Republicans.' 1 PI.VGUEE HE-ELECTED. i. Clionen 3Inyor of Detroit -Attain by a VI anility of 10,3.'iO. DETROIT. Mich., Nov. 5. Detroit has elected the entire Republican city ticket, and has added two aldermen to the Republican majority in the Common Council. Mayor Pingree ran ahead of the city ticket by 1,500 and upwards. His majority over Goldwater, Dem., according to the official returns, is 10,330, which exceeds Gold water's total vote over 2,000. Scmld, clerk, Littlefield. treasurer, and the rest of the Republican ticket, are elected by decidedly safe majorities The City Council will stand twenty-four Republicans, eight Democrats. Of the aldermen elected to-day twelve are Republicans , and four Democrats. In round numbers the total vote today amounted to 31,000, as compared with 43,000 In the city election of two years ago. Confidence in Pingree's winning qualities contributed to the rather light vote. Port Huron Republican. PORT HURON. Mich., Nov. 5. Boynton, Rep., is re-elected Mayor by 431 majority. The remainder of the Republican city ticket is elected. Republicans elect six and the Democrats three aldermen, with one ward tied. A. P. A. MAYOR. '! CitiienV Cnndidnte at Oranha Defeated by :tOO Votes. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 3. At 11:30 returns have begun to come in slowly from the State. The leading feature of the, returns Is the difference between the vote for Mahoney, administration Democratic candidate for Supreme Court, and Phelps, silver Democrat, showing enormous gains for the administration man.. Most of the returns give Mahoney double that of his opponent. While it cannot affect the result, since the Republican candidate is polling tho full party vote, ft Is of great Interest as showing how Nebraska Democrats stand on the financial issue. Two years ago the relative strength of the silver and gold Democrats was In the ratio of 23 to 1. Later Broatel, an A. P. A., is elected by 300 over Brown (Citizens') for Mayor. GOOD FOR UTAH. State Constitution Adopted and Republican Legislature Elected SALT LAKE CITY. U. T.. Nov. 3.-It will be 2 o'clock before any definite figures can be given on the result of the election in the city or State. The scattering returns as received up to midnight do not differ materially from those received last year, when the Republicans carried the State by 2.000. The Democrats claim the election of Roberts to Congress, with even chances on Governor, but give no figures to support the claim. The precincts heard from outside of .alt Lake and Ogden give Cannon. Dem., 2.313; Wells. Rep., 2.440. It is estimated that the Republicans have carried i'alt I-ake by SOO to 1,000 majority and elected Clendennlng Mayor. Ogdn elects a Democratic Mayor and five out of ten Councilmen. Midnight Utah has adopted her State Constitution and elected a Republican Legislature. EXTIRE TICKET ELECTED.

The terms of the election for these positions are that each party nominates five candidates and the one candidate receiving the smallest number of votes Is defeated. Each party Is sure of four elected trustees and the Republicans secured the odd man, as the man receiving the smallest number of votes was Duffy, Democrat. All the Republican candidates were about 30,000 ahead of the Democrats. Republican Conu;reMiiian Clionen. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.

The weather to-day throughout the State was clear and warm, but the Indications are that not more than half the . registered vote was polled. From reports received up to this hour it Is estimated the Democratic majority will be from 33.000 to 50,000. The Populists did not receive more than 15 per cent, of the total vote cast. In this city 319 votes were polled, being less than half the registered votes. Burkett, Populist candidate for Governor, got fourteen of this number and the remainder went to McLaurin, the Democratic candidate. The campaign Just closed was on free silver as against the gold standard and the result Is a complete victory for tho free sllverites. STRIKE 3IAY SPREAD. Some Threatening: Aspects In the Great Northern Trouble. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 5. There are some threatening aspects in the Great Northern strike situation, which lead to the belief that the strike may become general among the A. R. U. men on this system by tomorrow. The discharge of engineer William Rest, the hero of the Hinckley fire, at West Superior, is very distasteful to the men. Rest was president of the A. R. U. at that point and a member of the grievance committee. It is charged that he was discharged for those reasons. A Devil's Iake, N. D., special to the Journal says: The strike went into effect at 2 o'clock this morning. Train No. 15, a through fast freight, arrived this morning, and is stiH standing on a sidetrack. Three engine crews responded to the call of the foreman, but so far no train crew has been secured. Only part of the employes are out. The City Council last night adopted a resolution declaring that in case of a strike the company's property and its operation of trains would be protected at all hazards. In view of the fact that Devil's Lake was a strike center in the last strike this is dceme3 significant. Attempt to WrecU n Train. KALISEPELL. Mont., Nov. 5,-At attempt was made to wreck a Great Northern west-bound passenger train near Co'utiIhis Falls. A torch was applied to a bridso J'-st ,west of the big cut this side of Columbia Falls, and the fire was Just gaining headway as the train dashed onto the bridge. The engineer applied the air brakes, and the train was stopped on the bridge. A reward of JGOO has been offered by the Great Northern and ?5C0 by Governor Rlckards for the apprehension of the person3 who attempted to wreck the train. Roy Goodwin, director of the A. R. U.. who has Just been realesed from jail, where he was sentenced by the United States Court with E. V. Debs and others, called a meeting of that order here lat night. Only ten employes of the Kalispell division were present, the others being men discharged from the service. It was voted to strU-, and Goodwin called the strike to take effect at 11 p. m. At the appointed hour, the train crews responded promptly, but when it was announced that Goodwin had called a strike they took a strong stand in favor of the company, and exprecsted a determination to defeat the strike. Goadwin was denounced 'as an ogltator, unworthy of notice. His anarchistic speech at Spokane a few days ago lost him any supremacy he may have enjoyed among the railroad men. Activity nt San FrnncUco. , SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. The threatened strike of the employes, of the Great. Northern road caused no little comment among local railroad men, and especially among the members of the A. R. U. The dissatisfaction of the Hill men has a peculiar significance in the city, Oakland and Sacramento, inasmuch as it is generally admitted that on the success or failure of a strike on the Great Northern railway system at this time hinges the future of all organized railway labor west of the Missouri river. Incidentally it may be said that on the Southern Pacific road there has been unusual activity of late on the part of labor unions. Within the past month it is officially declared by the local A. R. V. officers, that nine lodges of that order have been successfully organized on the Pacific coast. All this work has been effected throufh the instrumentality of James Hogan, of Salt Lake City, who is the general Western representative of E. V. Debs, and one of the nominees for Congress in the coming election in Utah on the People's party ticket. Hogan, It Is said, has three traveling delegates In this State, who have reported to him that the A. R. U. sentiment is stronger than ever on this coast, and promised within three months to bring almost every railroad employe in California and Oregon Into the camp before the new year. Sltnntlon at Spokane. SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 5. The strike on the Great Northern is only partial at this place. The .east-bound passenger train went through on time, and the officials claim that all trains are moving regularly. At the car shops at Hilly rd some of the employes went out. The strikers claim that about sixty have gone out. but the master mechanic says the number was only eighteen, and of these six have returned. I2nislneer Have Xo Grlevnnce. CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. S.-First Assistant Grand Chief T. S. Ingraham, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who represents Chief Arthur during the latter's absence In Europe, said to-day that so far as was known at headquarters the engineers on the Great Northern had no grievances whatever. He believed it highly improbable that they would In any way become Involved or take part In any strike on the road. Eqnnlity. Buffalo Cgurier. ' Av crowd of small boys was gathered about the corner near the Chapter House on Johnson's Park. Saturday, and two little girls lingered curiously on the outskirts of the assembly listening to the plans of the boys. Finally the conference ended and the youngsters started ofl together toward the vacant lot at the foot of West avenue. The little girls started to follow, but were met with the fling of masculine superiority, "We don't want you girls along, we're going to play soldier." The little maids hesitated a moment, then one of them exclaimed, with an appeal that was Irresistable. "Why why can't we go as nurses? Soldiers have to have nurses, you know." The warm hearts under the jackets responded promptly to the loval thought. "Hully for you. girls." was the answer, "Come on." and away scampered the whole merry crowd. So dawns the fraternity and equality of the twentieth century. Catbnlie Statue to Re Crowned. NEW ORLEANS.

GORMANITES ROUTED. (Concluded from Flrwt rage.) years. For several days past the Democratic managers have feared that some of the senatorial, as well as a number of the house districts, were In danger of being lost by this lack, of activity of the canvass. The returns Justify the fears. The election was for half of the Senate (twenty) and the whole membership of the House of Delegates (100). In many counties the Republicans combined with the Populists and other anti-Democratic elements, and made the Issue on a cry of fair elections. Long before his death Gen. Mahone advocated this Issue, and at a conference held In Petersburg, last May, there was' adopted a so-called fair-election bill, which it was proposed should be made the Issue In this campaign. The Indications are that in most sections of the State a small vote was polled. In many of the black belt counties, notably In the section of Norfolk, the negroes seem to have supported the Democratic candidate. . The detailed returns, so far as received, show that the new senate will stand thirty-four Democrats and six anti-Democrats, and the House about eighty Democrats and twenty anti-Democrats. Reports from Woodstock Indicate the defeat of Walton, Democrat, for the State Senate. He was the author of the new election measffre. THE MAX.EII STATE.

Republican Plurality In Pennsylvania Tlil Year About lSO.OOO. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5. Returns received up to midnight Indicate that Benjamin J. Haywood. Republican, has been elected State Treasurer by about 150,000 plurality, a Republican gain over 1893, which was also an off year, of about 13,000. This State also elects seven Judges of the new Superior Court., Of these the six Republicans nominated are elected, as follows: Jas. A. Beaver, Edward N. Wlllard, John J. Wickham. Charles K. TJcc, Howard J. Reeder. George B. Orlady. The seventh man on the ticket is in doubt. The Democrats have six men on the ticket, and returns indicate that each of these has run ahead of the ticket in his own section. The choice apparently lies between. Magee of Allegheny, Smith of Lackawanna and Yerkcs of Buck, with chances favoring Magee. In this city the Republican ticket is elected by an overwhelming majority. The ticket elected Is as follows: Judge Court of Common Pleas, Craig Biddle; District Attorney, George S. Graham; Recorder of Deeds, Wm. W. Geary; City Controller, John M. Walton; coroner, Samuel H. . Ashbrldge; clerk Court of Quarter Sessions, Wm. B. Ahem. Wm. B. Geary, who is regarded as David Martin's representative on the ticket, was cut to some extent, but not as much as had been expected. Complete returns from 18 out of 37 wards show Republican pluralities of If this ratio Is kept up the plural ity in this city will be fully 60,00. Complete return3 from this city give Haywood, Rep., State Treasurer, a plurality of 71.4C0. The vote was: Haywood, Rep., 115,634; Meyers, Dem.. 41.985. Later Careful estimates of the vote In sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania show a plurality for Benjamin J. Haywood, Rep., for State Treasurer, over Benjamin K. Meyers, Dem., of 157,919, a gain as compared with the vote of 1S93 for the same effice of 22,273. It will probably require the official count to determine wh? is the Democratic member of the Superior Court. It exult at X!tt1nrT. PITTSBURG. Nov.

Returns are very slow coming in, and it will take several days before correct figures can be given. MASSACIILSETTS. The Great Republican Victory of 1SJ)4 Duplicated Thin Year. BOSTON, Nov. 5. The question In Massachusetts from the first was one of majority, since the Democratic leaders admitted the re-election of Governor Greenhalge. How strong his indorsement would be was the point on which the two parties differed. Results show that the claims of the Republicans made prior to the election were well grounded, since Governor Greenhalge and the entire Republican ticket is Indorsed by a plurality practically the. same as that of 1834. The legislative department of the government is also solidly Republican, 33 of the 40 Senators elected being of that political faith. There is a slight gain for the Democratic party, the Senate last year having stood 35 RepuMrans and 4 Democrats. In the House of Representatives the Republicans have practically the same majority as last year, which was an overwhelming one. The Governor's council will contain but one Democrat as an adviser in the executive chamber. In brief, the result 13 a clean sweep for the Republican party in the State, it having suffered in no way from the supposed defection caused by the A. P. A. movement. The hopes of the friends of female suffrage have been buried beneath an avalanche of ballots. Hardly a town that voted shows a majority in favor of the proposition to grant suffrage to woman in municipal affairs. A fair estimate of the result would be three votes against female suffrage to one in Its favor. The Greenhalge plurality in Massachusetts, estimating the vote of Brockton to be the. same as last year, will Le 63.858. The count !n Brockton has not been con cluded at this hour. INTEREST AT THE CAPITAL. Cabinet Officer Received the Returns nt the White IIoue. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Owing to the unusual conditions prevailing In a number of the States and the uncertainty regarding the outcome intense interest existed at the capital in the results of the elections. Particularly was this the case with respect to the elections in New York, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey and Ohio, and th returns from these States were awaited with great interest. Great crowds gathered in front of the newspaper offices to-night "and remained until the returns showed definite results at the storm centers. Others more fortunate visited various social and political clubs, where special arrangements had been made for obtaining latest information. President Cleveland did not make his appearance at the White House at all to-day, but remained at his country home at Woodlej-. Private Secretary Thurber was on hand at the executive mansion, however, during the day and evening, and received the bulletins that came over the special wire from the telegTaph office. Those were read by such of the Cabinet officers as gathered during the evening, and dispatches of special significance were telephoned to the President at Woodley. Three of the eight Cabinet officers Messrs. Harmon, Lamont and Carlisle had gone to their respective States to vote. Great interest was manifested here In the legislative elections, as they will materially affect the control of the United States Senate, Up till to-day, the standing in tho Senate was as follows: Republicans, 42; Democrats, 39; Populists, 6; vacant (Dem.), 1; total. 98. As a result of to-day's elections the Democrats v.ill lose and the Republicans will gala a Senator from Maryland and from Ohio, respectively. Tho other legislative elections do not appear to affect the standing In the Senate, as Ken-

tucky and Mississippi remain Democratic, the latter certainly and the 'former probably, while Iowa continues Republican. Utah chooses two United States Senators for the first time, but the complexion of the Legislature la not yet certain. The Utah Senators take their seats in the Senate shortly after Congress assembles. The changes In Ohio and Maryland will not affect the Senate until after March 4, 1S97. The Republican majority In the next Ohio Legislature, as shown by the returns from Ohio, insures the retirement of Senator Brice, Democrat, and the succession of a Republican. It appears to be settled that ex-Governor Foraker will be the choice of the Legislature, as the State convention placed his name in the platform as the senatorial candidate. In Maryland the election of a Republican Legislature the first in many yearswill bring about the retirement of Senator Gibson and the election of a Republican in his place. As yet no names have been mentioned In connection with the succession. The election of a Republican Legislature in Iowa is not unexpected, and it is considered settled that Senator Allison will be elected to succeced himself, his present term expiring Marcii 4, 197. In Kentucky Incomplete returns Indicate' a Democratic Legislature, which will elect Senator Blackburn to succeed himself, but up to 1 a. m. the Legislature is In doubt. The return of a Democratic "Legislature In Mississippi has been a foregone conclusion. It will elect a successor to Senator George. The returns from New York and ie?f Jersey Indicate Republican gains. These LeglFlaturcs do not elect United States Senators this year, but, a3 part of the legislators hold over, the present election is important in' influencing those bodies, which will elect successors to Senator Hill, of New York, and Senator Smith, of Xew Jersey, whoso terms expire March 4, 1597.

It was a gpnuine treat to nee little Moses, to see his eyes stretched with wonder, see his broad, happy grin on his fat, black face. Moses, litce Tcpsy, "just growed." at least that lias always been the general belief. Almost twelve years aeo a party out on a fish fry on Pigeon Bayou found a wee bit of a pickaninny fast asleep In a blackberry bush. The lady, Mrs. Martin, who first saw the black baby, picked it up In her arm3 and announced her determination to keep It, unless the owner proved property. She nad been married several years, but had no children, and while she had never contemplated adopting a negro child, her heart vent out to this deserted little specimen, and she wanted it. She carried the foundling home, and waited with no little uneasiness for the parents, parent or relatives to claim the child, but to her astonishment and pleasure no one even seemed to know anything about It. She became very fond of the little black face, which lighted up whenever she came near, and she humored him in almost everything just aj she would her own ch'ld. When little Moses was seven years o'd a little stranger came to stay with Mrs. Martina boy, and her own. She expected to see Moses jealous, but the little darky became perfectly devoted to the Martin baby, a fact whJch only endeared him the mere to Mrs. Martin. Mr. Martin was a swamper, and their home w?.s at thai time in the woods. When his baby was only a few months old Mr. Ma rt in was taken 11! with swamp fever and died. The three got on well until the spring came, bringing with it high water. Then came the tug of war. Like all, under the fame circumstances, they had a hard time, but no harm came to them until the dreaded storm broke that always ends the rise. It came in the night, and a storm in the dead of night !n en eld frame building almost afloat is a fearful thing. Mrs. Martin threw herself out cf bed, clutched with one hand her six-months -old babe, with the other her faithful little Moses, and together they stood waiting for the outcome. Several larce trees fell across the roof, crushing it in, and then the wind entered and d'd its work. The lightly built cl 1 house rocked, careened and went over. After p. hard battle Mrs. Martin found herself splashing In the water, clutching on to ard clutched by the two children. With the aid of the lightning the reached a log and climbed upon it. lire she had time to take a breath a limb fell across the log. It lurehed and she was alone little Paul and Mcses gene, torn away in a flash. Morning came and found her in the boat of a fisherman. He had picked her up more dead than alive. The two went in search of the ch'ddren, neither with much hope of finding them. Before they had gone a half mile something attracted their attention. It appeared to be a child asleep on a log. And o it was not one, but two Moses and piii. scarcely breathing, was welgod between two large timbers, his face just above water and one hand holding like a viw to little Paul to save h'.m from being drowned. Paul was soon revived, tut tho faithful little negro was snearly dfed that it was a long time before Us could fpcak. Both his legs were crushed and had to be amputated, and on? arm broken above the elbow. If Mrs. Martin laved Mose before, she wor.hiped him now. She Intended to fit him fcr some profession, and would have without doubt had she lived. But that fearful night was the cause of her death.
