At 1?4Q o'clock this aftrrr ln Col. William Cassias Goodloo, roller r of internal revenue of the Seventh Kcn?ucly district, and Col. Armftead M. Swope met in tho postolfice corridor, roth men were after the mail that was in their lock-boxes, which adjoin. Thev ."froached these boxes almost at thepainej-r.tant, and, when each saw who the nth. ra., they glared at each other icrrely; :ti 1 one of the two, it cannot be tlisrovt red which, exclaimed: "You tpoke to ttip; yoti innlted me." This was followed by some angry words from the other, hut exactly what they were cannot be found out. At this instant they Htrjij-htencd up, and each drew a weapon at the wune moment Swope, a pistol and (ioodloe, a cla'p knife. As oon as the weapon wore drawn, Swope tired anrl Goodloe knocked the pixtol down as it went olf, the ball entering bin aMornen on the riirht r-ide. iooilou then began utabliiiig bin opponent in the breast with bis knife, which forced Swope backward toward the money order door, they having begun the lisht about midway in tho lobby. After peveral blows had been ntrtick by (Ioodloe, iwope fired arain, mining (ioodloe. In a moment alter tiring the second shot. Col. Swope fell on his face within alut ten feet of the door leading into the money order department, and, weltering in hin Mood, died almost instantly. On hi perron were found thirteen wound.", they beins: on hi back, arms and in his breast. Immediately after the killing, Col. Goodlos walked to a physician's office, where his wounds were examined. He was perfectly cool and made a disposition of his property in case of death. The cause of the difficulty was a statement rnsde in the republican convention of May, 1. by Col. (ioodloe, that fully two-thirds of the Fayette county delegation in convention did not f-peak to Swope-. Col. (ioodloe has been for years a prominent man in Kentucky politic!1; was minister to JMpium under H.ivps and is a member of the national republican committee, hems chairman of the committee on speakers. He is about forty-'ight years of a;e, married and has eight children. Col. A. M. Swope was forty-five years of figcand unmarried; was collector of internal revenue under Grant and Hayes and was also prominent in politics in Kentneky. He will be buried at Lancaster, this state. Col. A. M. Fwope was about fifty years obi and a native of Kentucky. He practiced law at Paris, Ky., until the bejrinnir . of the war, when he joined the Union army and rose to the rank of colonel, serving on Gen. Uuell's stalT. After the war he went to Lexinpton and resumed the practice of big profession. He has held many positions of trust within the gift of national administrations, and was regarded a one of the ablest men in bis party. In the last Kentucky republican convention b made a ftron licht for Senator Sherman before that body, but was unsuccessful in Iiis attempt to have the delegation instructed for the ernaior, beine opposed by Col. (ioodloe. In 1X77 Mr. Snojh' Wim appointed collector of internal revenue for the Seventh Kenutucky district, anil re.-igned in lsS.1. He wiw aii applicant for commissioner of internal revenue under President Harrison, but was defeated, it is claimed, through the enmity of Col. Goodloe. The Hon. William Cassias Goodloe was Wn in Mudifon county in lSdl. His great grandfather was Oren.'Grcen Clay, w ho commanded a brigade in the Northwestern campaign under Gen. Harrison. In 1 V1 he accompanied his uncle, Ciisdu ?d. Clay, to Russia, where he wns pent a minister by President Lincoln. Mr. Good loe acted a secretary of legation until IS '.i', when he returned' and joined the Union army as acdrdant adjutant general of volunteers, perving until IS., when he resigned and commenced the practice of law in Lexington. In 1 SS he was electc-d a delegate to the national republican convention, and was appointed a member of tha committee to notify Gen Grant of his nomination. In 1873 he was elected to the state senate and the following winter was nominated by the republican caucus for U. 8. senator. (ioodloe at 11 o'clock was resting easy in bis rocm at the Thoenix hotel. Ilia physicians say his condition is more hopeful. He ii not un !er arrest. Public sympathy is About equally divided, but universal porrow i.s expressed. The correspondence between the men occurred about the middle of May, isss. It was very brief and simply withdrew the remarks each bad made about the other.

PROBABLY A FOUL MURDER.

A Vandnlla Itrnkemnn Found Doncl and Itobbed of Ilia AVntch. Teure Hai'te, 2s"ov. 9. is'peciaL At au early hour this morning Frank Crews, a Vandalia brakeman was found in his caboose in tho Vandalia yards here w ith a bullet bole through his body. Tho ball had pierced his heart. At first it was thought to be a case of suicide as a revolver waa found on the floor near the body. Later development- showed that his watch had been taken and that the chain had been broken. A portion of it remained hanging to his vest,8howing that when the watch was taken the chain had been broken in getting it out of his pocket. When the nirht caller went to call him for duty he found the door locked. He unlocked it and found Crews dead. Every indication points to a foul murder. Crews bad a companion (Mike Suphrue) whose actions havo been rather mysterious, and suspicion rests on him as probably knowinor eomethfng about tho aflair. lie was the last man who went to tbe caboose last nijht, and as bo has since skipped tho town, there is every reason to believe that he is the lust man who saw ('rows alive and probably knows something as to how be died. iSu-jhrue was out all nfoht last niht and an examination of his room shows that he bad not entered it. lie came here from Iteno, Ind., three weeks a;;o ami has been aided ever since he came here by Crews. The dead man's homo is at Coatsville, Ind., and the body was taken there to-day by his parents for burial. MARION COUNTY FARMERS. Meeting of the Agricultural and Horticultural hocietlra I.lRlita. The regular monthly meeting of the Marion county agricultural and horticultural society was held H.'turrday afternoon at the state-house. Papers were read by Mrs. Charles A. I lowland, Dr. E. II. Collins and Fielding Peeler. There was much discussion as to why boys leave the farm for city life and the means w hich ought to be used to prevent it. Just before adjournment it was resolved to hold the farmers' institute in this city. It w ill be under tho supervision of the member representing this district on the state board of agriculture. POLITICS IN THE SUPREME COURT. The reelle-Worrell nnd Viinrey-II j de Caaea Decided AK'ii""t tho PriiKHrnti. The supreme, court Thursday decided the Yancey-Hyde and Peelle-Worrell caaa. The principal opinion in tLe former was written by Judge Ilrrkshire, and in the latter by Judge Olds. Chief Justice I'lliott handed dov-n an opinion, in which he views the propositions in the case from every ntnndpolut, dissenting to the opinion of Judie Iterkahire. Judge Mitchell concurred in every particular in the opinion of Judge I'lliott and commended it as a most able exposition of the constitutional law bearing on the questions involved. Judges Cotley and Olds concurred in the opinion of Jtide Ilerkahire without comment. So the cane was decided in favor of the republican rarty. Practically the same questions were involved in tbe Peelle-'Worrell case. Atain, in it, the court stood divided, three to two, with Judges berkshire. Olds and Cotley in favor of ousting the democrats, ami Judges Mitchell and I'.lHott in favor of decidlui- the ciae under the provUions of the constitution. Though the latter gentlemen hni the power to prove by reason the correctness of their opinions (hey had not the numerical power, which is brotherly to physical power, to decide the cases in conformity to constitutional law. They did have the power, however, or rstlier the privilege to prove to every fairminded lawyer in the etMe that their three colleagues had blinded their ejes to reanon and forced the supreme court of Indiana to assume tbe burden of disgrace incumbent upon overriding the very essence of civilization constitutional law. It is doubtful if there is a lawyer in Indianapolis who, when he heard the holding of "the court in these two cumm, did uot express surprise. Several expression were heard which indicated clearly what the verdict of the tmr of the täte would be on the "heroic" action of the three junior jtidees of the supreme court Said a prominent lawyer, "I am surprised that th-se yotrng judges should take upon themselves the responsibility of overruling the opinion of both their seniors. Ien if they had no respect for Judge Mitchell on account of his opposite political convictions, they might have had ome consideration for Elliott. Judge Klliott knows more about constitutional law than ah three of them combined." On all aide were opinion of uninterested lawyers that the decision w is radicady wrong. As the caaea were taken to the supreme court on demurrers, they will go back to the lower courts again. If the defendants so wish it, they will be tried again. Prof. Gorby said he wonld hold his office until the case in which his position is involved, that of Yancy vs. Hyde, is finally settled. "I am satisfied that it is merely a partisan decision." said be. "and propose to see it go to the end." Mr. Peelle ia inclined to do likewise. Judge Mitchell concurs in the opinion of Judge Elliott, and says that the present incumbents were both legally appointed, and ere holding their offices under lecal appointments when they were elected by the legis, lature; and if it were conceded that the last election was utterly void, then under all the authorities the incumbents would continue to hold over until their successors were legally elected and qualified. Judge Mitchell concludes: "With an abiding conviction that the reasoning employed and the conclusions reached in the opinion of the court on all the vital questions Involved are radically unsound and in open conflict with all the previous decisions of this court, and with the practical exposition which the constitution has received sioce the first organization of the Mate government, and that they are also in direct antagonism with the deeiaions of the courts in every other täte where like queatione have been considered, lean only record an earnest nnd emphatie dissent from the judgment on the principal questions, and an unqualified concurrence in the opinion of the chief justice." a THE MODERN BABYLON.

THE CHUItCH'S CENTENNIAL

GREAT CELEBRATION AT BALTIMORE. Crowds Tack the Great Cathedral Impressive Address by Archbishop Kjan A Itanquet In the Afternoon Ihe Program of Tuctduj. Baltimore, Nov. 10. The most important group of events in the history of the catholic church ia America began here this morning. Itwas the commencementof a triple celebration the one-hundredth anniversary of the appointment of the first American catholic bishop, the inauguration of the find congress of catholic laymen held in the United States, and the dedication of the new national university for catholiea. Ten thousand strangers were in Haitimore to witness the spectacles four times as many people, not counting local catholics, as could possibly be accommodated in the cathedral, where the initial scenes were to be witnessed. So great was the pressure for seats that persona known to have traveled across the continent from California expressly to be present were among those disappointed ia not securing admission. Kxcept for the inevitable inconveniences due to overcrowding, everything moved like clock work. The hall in which the priests assembled was elaborately decorated. Above the doors were he papal colors, yellow and white, and above these, stretching upward to the eaves, were great streamers of red, white and blue. When all was rendy, 000 clergy, walking two and two, emerged, clad in white surplice and black cassocks nnd vcrettas. At the doorway of the cardinal's house and leading up the broad steps, with sabers and poliched helmets glittering in the bright morning sunlight, were two doulde lines of guards. Here again the papal colors and the stare and stripes were intermingled. In all directions the streets seemed filled with people, and the open windows of surrounding dwellings each had its quota. Presently, w hile the white-stirpliced priests were opening ranks, a mass of purple-enveloped liirures were seen in the cardinal's doorway. It was the gathering of nearly all the catholic bishops and archbishops of the United States, with representatives from Mexico, Canada, England and Kome. The prelates now came forth from the big portico in pairs, aud as each two stepped into the Ftreets their costly robes were caught up by diminutive altar boys in waiting, who then walked behind, taking care that the brilliant fabrics were kept stainle.s for the ceremonies to come. Here nnd thi re among the silken purple vestments of the bishops could be seen the coarse brown or white garb of a bearded abbot. Through the long lines of priests the prelates threaded their way all around the square to the main entrance of the cathedral, the rear of the procession being brought up by the tall, ascetic figure of Archbishop Feehan of Chicago, who Immediately preceded a golden-vestured crossbearer, followed by two spare, slight-looking men, almost hidden in dazzling scarlet. The two men in scarlet were the cardinals of the Iloman church in America Gihhon of Italtimore and Teschereau of Quebec. Eight acolytes upheld their long vestments and surrounding them were the monseigneura with the papal delegates, O'Connell and Satolli of Rome. Withiu the cathedral, ten minutes later, the scene was simply magnificent The pews throughout the church were crowded to the Dimost with the Inity. In striking contrast with the dark clothed aggregation thus formed were the aisles, center and front and sides, packed with the snow-surpliced priests. Agiiost both laity and priests shown the serried purple ranks of prelates inside the sanctuary. On either side was a tlais for the cardinals. At tbe high all.-ur stood the mitred celebrant of the mass, Archbishop Williams of P.oston, and over all was the great white and gold dome of the cathedral. At the exposition of the host, the cardinals advanced from tl sides with the monseigneurs, and bowing themselves low, knelt atprie-dieux incing the altur. Hack of them was a row of richly arrayed acolytes, Icnring lighted bronze torches. As Cardinal Gibbons retired to his dais, the reporters in the improvised press gallery noticed for the first time, uot six feet away from him in the sanctuary among the abbots and other special dignharea, the black face of Father Tolton of Chicago, the tirrt colored catholic priest ordained in America. Probably the most impressive part of the mass, next to the eousecr.ition, was the conferring of the papal blessing. The venerable archbishop at the altar seemed to feel it a doubly solemn moment, when, turning to the congregation, he paused for an instance. Then, while the people in the church knelt, he raised his hand and slowly made the sign of the cross. The mass ended with a special intercession for the pope chanted by all the clergy. The f.rst oration of the centenary followed. It was delivered by Archbishop l'yan of Philadelphia, whose tine presence and magnetic eloquence, in spite of the long ceremonial proceeding, held his hearers for another hour and a half. The patriotic spirit of the arohbishop'a address and Lis tribute to the recent devotion of the colored people and Indians seemed to awaken general enthusiasm. Put the most telling efTect was aroused when he vindicated the righta of catholic editors, if need be, to freely comment on the failings of the clergy. The archbishop's address was substantially as follows: Taking as his text, Ecclesiasticus, 1, 1, 2, 7, and 14, Archbishop Itran saidi "Most eminent cardinals, most reverend representative of the supreme pontlll', venerable brothers of the episcopate and the clergy, beloved brothers of the laity. In this fiftieth chapter of the book of Ecclesiasticus, we read a glowing eulogy of the High Priest Simon, and a magnificent description of the religious ceremonies which he performed in the temple of Cod, surrounded by his priests. The ceremonies of the temple foreshadowed those of the Christian cburch, and the descriptions of this chapter seem like a prophet's vision of a pontifical or papal mass as you behold it enacted here to-day a scene like that glorious one narrated in this chapter. Let us, dear fathers and brethren, glance at the church iu this country during the past century and endeavor to understand its action and spirit And by the past we may judge of the yet more glorious future. As the student of our national history in observing the rise of the young republic itself naturally fixes his attention on the great leader, who embodied in himself the principles and the spirit of that period, and Irora the study of the character of George Washington learns the genius of the time; so, in our ecclesiastical history, we behold one man, the first catholic bishop of these states, at the time of this great centennial celebration of bis appointment. Like Hi m on, the high priest, he fortified the moral temple and enlarged the city of God, and the bishops that followed him have 'walked in his light and in the brightness of bis riaing.' "On the rith of November, John Carroll was appointed first bishop of llaltimore and the head of the catholic church in the United Htates. rtlshop Carroll, by Instinct, was broad and liberal in his views, thoroughly American in his sentiments. He understood how the mission of the government would be like the church's own mission to combine catholicity with unity. He had personal experience of this combination in his own priests. His first diocesan synod was held in 1701, the year after hia consecration. It consisted of only twentyone priests, but they represented seven different nationalities, rot merely countries of birth, which may be of comparatively little importance with peoples of the same race, but seven dillerent and somewhat antagonistic peoplesAmerican, Irish, English, German, French, Jiclgian and Holland, yet all acted in their true character of American priests under his leadership. IliKhon Carroll was an American patriot, aa well as a C hristian bishop. The new bishop thoroughly appreciated how important for the church's progress, as well as for the stability of the state, was the diff usion of education. One of his first projects was to foster the Georgetown college.' Of all the false charges alleged against tbe catholio church, the most senseleas and unfounded is 'that she fears science and is the enemy of education.' Her opponents, almost In the same breath, charge her with being the foa at once and the monopolizer of education. And the last man in tha world to Uui Intellectual progress, whether

popular or individual, is the catholic. He well knows that truth is one that God cannot contradict in the revelation of scripture what he exhibits in the revelation of science. Hence a man's fearlessness of such a science will be in proportion to the certainty of his conviction of the truths of revelation." After dwelling on the life of Bishop Carroll and the early church In America, Archbiuhop l'yan continued addressing the laity: "And on this great historic occasion you must not be mere observers, but we trust you representatives will apeuk out freely and fearlessly in the lay congress which forms so interesting feature in this centennial celebration. You know how false is the charge of the euemies of the church, that you are priest-ridden. The clergy did uot fear the light of day, and if mistakes were made by catholic editors regarding their acts, it was not an evil, for it clearly showed the rightful independence of the catholic journalist It is now time that an active, educated laity should taVe an express interest in tbe great questions of the day a'lecting the church and society. I find that the best educated amongst them, and notably the converts, are sound on the great questions of the day and loyal to the church." He then paid a glowing tribute to the work done by the laity as publicists and editors during the century, and continuing, said: "Ily the united action of bishops, priests and laymen, the results of progress in the last century are truly astonishing, and what is particularly remarkable is the fact that in the section of the country where opposition to tbe church was most deep and violent the progress was greatest. 1 allude to the New England states. W ithin the last sixty years New England had but one bishop, two priests and two public places of womhip. She haa now one archbishop, sir bishops, 1'42 priests and C19 churches, with private chapels, colleges, schools and benevolent institutions. Those who do not desire the progress of the catholio church should never persecute her. The general statistics of the church during the century are: "When Bishop Carroll wns consecrated, in 1790, the entire population of the United SStatcs was a little less than 4.UN0.000. The catholic population was estimated at about 30,00. There is now a catholic population of 9,0tK1,(MK), S.tKK) priests, 10,5t SI churches and chapels, twenty-seven seminaries and ti-V) collegesnd academies and over 3,0)0 parish schools. The remarkable statistics quoted become marvelous when we consider tbe antagonism of the great majority of the people to the catholic church. As In pagan times, in the history of this country, the catholio church's perfect organization was feared as possibly dangerous to the state, and a great ami numerous party, afraid to act in open day, entered into a secret society against a bandiul of their fellow-citizens. Few people realize how much indirect benefit this cowardly opposition was to the church during the brief, inglorious existence of tbe party prophetically named at its birth, 'know nothing.' "Thoughtful men of the nation, who opposed this party, were driven into the ranks of the church's defenders. They studied her history and doctrines. Important conversions, and the clearing away of much ignorance and prejudice were the result. The civil war, whch so retarded the nation and all religious institutions, including our own, and split up all non-OAtholic denominations into northern and southern organizations, showed forth, as I have already said, the united power of the catholic church. The war also exhibited her marvellous and well-regulated charity. Sisters of northern birth and principles nursed the southern soldiers, and sisters of southern birth ami principles, whose brothers were fighting in the ranks of the Confederate army, were found nursing their northern foes. Hence.since the war there is a great change in popular sentiment in relation to the catholic church. In addition to this it must be remembered that catholics and protestants now associate more frequently and intimately and understand each other better. Intelligent protestants are gradually disabused of the old notion that the catholics exalt the blessed virgin to a position equal to that of the sou; that priests can forgive sins according to their pleasure; that images may be adored after the fashion of the pagans; that the bible should not be read, and other absurd supposed doctrines and practices of the church. Because of the enlightenment and because of the high character of American converts in the past, it is possible that some of the ablest defenders of the church ia this coming century will be men who are at present in tbe ranks of her opponent. "But, fathers and brethren, whilst we are grateful for the blessings bestowed by Almighty God on the young church of these states during the past century, whilst we unite in the glorious te deum of gratitude, we must also bear in mind that there are statistics of losses known only to the mind of God; that many have fallen away. To-day we should add to our te deum our acts of contrition. I believe that in the Inst century we could have done more for the colored people of the South and the Indian tribes. I am not unmindful of the zeal, with limited resources for its exercise, of the southern bishops, nor the great self-sacrifice of Indian missionaries, who, in the spirit of primitive Christianity, gave their lives for the noble, but most unjustly treated Indian tribes. But as I believe that negro slavery and tha unjust treatment of the Indians are the two great biota upon the American civilization, so I feel that in the church also the most reasonable cause for regret in the past century is the fact that more could be done for the same dependent classes. Let us now, in the name of God, resolve to make reparation for those shortcomings of the past. "A magnificent futnre Is before the church In this country if we are only true to her, to the country, and to ourselves. She has demonstrated that she can live and move onward without state influence; that the atmosphere of liberty is most congenial to her constitution and conducive to her progress. Let us be cordially American in our feelings and sentiments, and above all, let es.eh individual act out in his personal life and character the apiritof his catholio faith." This afternoon there was a banquet, at which all the visiting prelates were present. Addresses were made by Archbishop Satolli, Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal Tuschereau and Bishop Montes d'Oca of Mexico. Letters were read from Cardinal Manning of England and Archbishop Walsh of Ireland. Archbishop Ireland of St, Paul elicited great enthusiasm in responding to "Our Country." The conferring of the papal benediction closed the celebration, so far as the centeuary of the hierarchy Is concerned. To-morrow the deliberations of the congress of the catholio laymen begins in Concordia hall. The catholio editors, attending the congress, held a meeting to-night The He v. Father K W. Graham of Kansas, presided, with the Kev. Father Ballen of St Louis, secretary. They decided to hold a convention of editors at Cincinnati on the first Wednesday of May, 10. The officers of this meeting were instructed to make the necessary arrangements for the convention. JEM SMITH DEFEATED. ete Jsrkson Outfights the Englishman, "Who Loses Ills Temper and t'oula. Loxvox, Nov. 10. The fight between Pete Jackson, the colored Australian pugilist, and Jem Smith, the English champion, took place at the Pelican club, as arranged. The fight was for a purse of 1,J0, subscribed by members of the club. Jackson outfought Smith for two rounds, whereupon the English fighter deliberately cross-buttock ed Jackson. The referee then gave Jackson the victory. The hall in which the fight took place was crowded. Among the spectators were many lords, members of the house of commons, and other prominent persons. Smith won the toss for position. In the first round there were many heavy exchanges. In the second round bmith appeared to be winded. Jackson forced the fighting and knocked the English champion all over the ring. Falling against the ring ropes Smith grasped a rope with his right hand and guarded himself with his left Finally he made a rush and threw Jackson. Smlih tried to resume the fight with bare knuckles. The police seized him and persuaded him to shake hands with Jiia antagonist Smith was beaten at all points. He has lost many friends by his di-play of temper, and his claims to being in champion "form" are exploded. I at tha Old Hooks Alone.

The returns show that in these counties the balance of the ticket, without much variance in the figures, has received il,69 votes more than Foraker; or, rather, the head of the ticket baa run be hind that much on these, figures On these figures it is estimated that Campbell must hare a plurality of at least 12.CMK) in order to insure the ejection o? the rest of the democratio ticket, and the republican committee does not think his plurality will be over 10,0)0. It is believed that Watson for attorney-general and Hester for clerk of the supreme court will run about 2.(100 abend of the rest of the ttcktt, not counting the head. At democratio headquarter it is conceded that Campbell's plurality will have to be ll.lKx) in order to save Marquis, and that the rest of the ticket is in much grettterdanger. The democrats, however, think that Campbell's plurality will reach 13,(KJ or 14,'i0, which would insure the election of the entire democratio ticket. ClNClXATr, Nov. 9. Music hall was again the scene of a great democratio meeting tonight. The spacious hull was packed to the doors with an enthusiastic multitude, while outside the square was thronged with people. Before the meeting a parade took place. Every street along the line of march was crowded, and colored fires brilliantly !i?hted up the scene. At Musio hall the Hon. Isaac Jordan spoke, followed by Gov.-elcct Campbell. Coli-mtus, O., Nov. 11. The official returns from sixty couuties received at the secretary of state's ollice and the other twenty -eight on telegrams from the officials of the counties indicate that the plurnlity of Lempson, rep., for lieutenant-governor will bo 131. These figures will not vary much from the final result The republioans elect all the state ticket except governor, IOWA ALL RIGHT. Tho Democrats I'.leet the) Governor and I'rohahly the Whole State Ticket. Prnt'QrE, Ia., Nov. C. The Herald has returns from sixty-seven counties in the state. These give Poies a plurality of 13.0M. The remaining thirty-two counties in l!?H7 gave a republican plurality of 11,293. On this basis Poies already has a plurality of 1,792 in sixtyseven counties, ao that all gains in the remaining thirty-two counties will simply add to his plurality. If the same ratio of democratio gains continues through the thirty-two counties, lloies will have a plurality in the slate of from eight to ten thousand It is now impossible to defeat him, and his plurality is only a question of gains in the remaining third of the state. So far there is not a county, with one or two exceptions, but shows a demo, cratio gain. In the counties so far heard from there is an average gain ot 375 to each. The majority of Uoiea runs tip to more than 6,000. lie is almost certain to take the balance of the ticket with him. Dubuque county, iu full, gives 4,'J0) majority for Boies, and every man on the democratio ticket is elected. Senator Allison is now badly frightened lest the legislature may a'. so be lost The Pes Moines RfjUler says: "Returns from every legislative district show that the next legislature will stand: Senate republican i'S; democrats, 22. House republicans, 52; democrats, 47; doubtful, 1." A dispatch from Washington says: Clarkson received a telegram this evening from Iiis home in Iowa stating that the contest over the legislative ticket is very close, aud the result in doubt Complete returns from ninety-five counties and the remaining four counties estimated, the same as two yeurs ago, show that Boies, democratic candidate for governor, has 5,99. plurality. The official returns will undoubtedly increase this majority to about 7,000. The entire democratio stitte ticket, lieutenant governor, justice of the supreme court, superintendent of public instruction and railway commissioner is elected. The republicans claim the legislature by eight majority on joint ballot, but the democrats do not concede more than three. Chicaoo, Nov. 11. A special from Des Moines says: Thre Is e Idcntly going to be a lively time In the lojilsl.it are this winter. 'Hie republican majority is so small that every eil'ort will lie brought to bear for the dt'leat of Nvnator Allison and tha enactment of a high Morus Isw.

The Doctor's tVntch Found -Hard Words lletweeii the Attorneys. Chicago, Nov. 11. A special from r.ipon, Wis., says: The following was fonnd written on the wall at the Central hotel Sunday morning: "P. II. Cronin, M. D. His watch will be found at 371 S. Clark-et., third lloor, room No. 11, 113x610x40." A stranger who did not reg. ister was at the hotel Saturday, leaving on the eveniug train, and the landlord thinks the writing was done by this man. Inquiry at Chicago elicited tbe fact that the Chicago address given is that of a Hebrew's pawnshop in a squalid quorter. The rooms of the building are furnished ami rented to tenants. The other occupants of tbe building say room It has been occupied by two mysterious men of whom they knew nothing. The information was communicated to State's Atty. Longen eck er in the eonrt room, and detectives were dispatched to make a thorough investigation of the tenants of the building. Just as court adjourned on exciting ene occurred between llynea and Forrest. Fach said the other would soon land in the penitentiary, llynes said Forrest was a fenian and Forrest said Hynes was an Arkansas car-pct-bagL'er. Hynes said Forrest whs ad d liar and jury-briber. Forrest said twice over that Hynes was a d d liar. Then the judge shut them up. When the Cronin trial began to-day Pr. Pelfield's private secretary, Miss Martha A. Johnson, testified to receiving the bloody chips from the Carlson cottage from Capt t-chaa k. Henry Puchhol?: testified that last April Kun.e was going tinder the alias of Kaiser. The deieuse objected to his testimony because his unrae wns not on the indictment, bnt the court held that the law requiring the name of the state's witnesses on an indictment was only intended to cover cases where the trial immediately followed the indictment: in such cases as the present the defense had plenty of time to rebut such testimony. Charles Herkimer also knew Kunze by the name of Kaiser last A pril. So did Joseph Peotowkki, a brewer. John P. Innn had been introduced to Kunze ly Coughlin, the latter saying Kunre was bis friend nnd would do anything for him. Frank Washburn heard Kunre suy he was going to buy a horse from O'lSullivan and pretend to pay a big price for it so as to get some niomy from his guardian. Cilia Klahre, the time-keeper who claims to have been twice sandhagged by friends of the defendants, said that Purke came to his shop the Monday after the murder and asked Klahre to solder up a tin box. and a string held down the cover. Burke would not permit Klahre to rt move the string, saying, "For Cud's sake, don't do that" Purke told him then that Cronin was a Pritinh spy and ouht to have been killed. When Ilurke was brought Pack from Winnipeg Klahre wnt to the jail to identify him and Purke called him a foul name. During tbe examination ltuike laughed derisively at the witness. Witness sid a tin box had been made for Alexander iSdllivan, but this was ruled out as irrelevant. Michael Wal-h testified that Purke only earned ?1.00 while at Juliet, thourh he received a letter while there, and started for Winnipeg with plenty of money. . Joseph O'Pyrue, senior-guardian of a Cronin camp, testified that he aud Maurice Morris called on Peggs after the doctor's disappearance, and at-ked that the clan, as a whole, take some action. Peggs said that Morris didn't know anything about it, as he was not a member of the inner-circle; that Cronin would turn up all right, as he had goue with a woman. Morris corroborated this story. Dr. Williams said that be acted professionally for Sullivan for three years aud his total fees had been less than $10. A sewer-cleaner testified to finding Dr. Cronin's clothes last Friday, and identified them, as did Capt. Schuettler and Mrs. ConkLin, Crouin's landlady. , ., THE DEMOCRATS WIN.

There was a row at the cabinet meeting Friday, but the cause of the trouble was not divulge 1. At all events. Atty.-fien. Miller and Se.-y. Noble left the White houe very mach incensed at something that had occurred. Shortly afterward Senator Sawyer visited the president to press the appointment of ex-Congressman Uichard Cuenther, a Wisconsin GerI m&u, aa consul general at Havana. Tbe Wis consin senator knew nothing of the cabinet imbroglio, and therefore wua astonished when he found the president in an anry humor. The presiiitnt treated the venerable senator very rudely, telling him tli.it in view of the revolt of the Germans in Ohio he did not care a copper for the German vote nor for Mr. Ciuenther. Senator Sawyer's friends say that the president insulted him, and thut in consequence the A isennn stVt s:ii.in is iu a towering rare. To-day, after thinking the tr.atUr over and having been approachel l y the president's fr.ends, Senitor Satsyer denies the accuracy of the statement, ".-o far as the s'atemeut imputes to me anger or dip!n$nre over any phas of the interview with the president the statement is absolutely without any decree or shadow of foundation. I bare known the president for mtnv years and never observed hint to be wanting in courtesy of manner or kindli Vess of heart. He eip'ained to me some of tha difficulties pertaining to one of the subjects of our conversation and 1 recogni.cd both their existence and weight, and so to.d him. I hav been too mnny rears in public life to expect a a president to be able to gratify all wishes of constituents, an I his inability to doso certainly caused in me neither anger nor surprise. On the occasion referred to, 1 bad no conversation with tbe president upon the subject of the recent elections. The statement that he referred, in convcisation with tue, or iu my presence, to the course of the fiermans or any other nation " aiity at the late elections in Ohio or elsewhere is unqualifiedly untrue." TREASURER HUSTON'S FIRST REPORT. A Itemarknh'e Year in h I inaur.nl Ills, tory of iitff Ilrih Ic. WAsniNGToy, Nov. 10 In his report for tha year ended June SO list. Treasurer Huston says: Tbe year was a remarkable one ia the history of the public finances, both the revenue and tbe expend. lures having been exceeded but few times since the foundation of the government, The former amounted to $"57,(CV C-'.A and the latter to $i;:''.),:'M,L':S iuclusive of $ 1 7,C0'J,.V.2 paid in premiums on bonds purchased. The surplus revenues June SO wer i7.76I.(i0, a decrease of . SO, lf-,1 as compared wiih the year before, counting premiums on bonds as an ordinary expend. tore. ()a Juris ?0, lvSS, there was iu the treasurer's custody ia cash and elective bonds the sum of f 7r.t. 70. .!., and a year later the sum of $7iVl.'l,s71. Tha current liabilities decreased in the interval from JUV-T'l.m? to l'.'7.!t ll.l and the reserve from JJ'.S'.t5,'J(X) nnd il 5, 007.U47. The gold in the treasury in cic -ss ot the certificates outstanding was .'ULVII'M in I'M and $1.SG,;7,4!H' in KV). Notwithstarding the loos ot gold, both in the a.-gtegat aud in the amount not covered by certificates, amounting; to nearly 4 per cent., the position of the treasury was strengthened in every respect save in tb amount of reserve. The total assets, tbe liabilities and the reserve 11 fell off about It percent At tbe beginning of the year tha lree gold was I" 4j,fs .,( si, al-,- ftt the close $., 0ui,0i0 in excefcs of demand liabilities. Tha unavailable funds, exclusive of upward of $2,(kkJ.('x) on deposit with the states under tbe law of is.')i', amounted at the end of the year to l,4b",4'1.1, having beeu decreased by an appropriation of fJI.Olt" to over losses in the New York sub-treiiKiiry, and increased by a loss ef tl0,is.0 at Sau Francisco, reported by the assistant treasurer there in 1Sn. The treasurer suggests that the present methods of keeping the account by which be is charged with funds that do not exut, should be changed so that the books would at all times show the true stite of the treasury without real rr apparent discrepancies. The changes that took place in the currency were an increase of about $"1,V),(1 in the stock of silver, a contraction r.f 41,' OO.Cixl in tha national bank circulation and a loss of -5,753,-CM) of gold. The reports show that in the period of four years the public ownership of silver wns nearly doubled while the volume of notes was diminished from .f'i I7,"b-i,147 to $;.;!' i,'i-!',47.

The new issues of small denomination appesr to hare fully supplied the needs of the country. The coinage of tbe standard silver dollars has proceeded without any incident worthy of remark. Without much chani? in the amount in rirculition there is a tendency toward a decrease. During the yer.r the national hanks withdrew t';tl,.4 UKxiof their bonds held by tbe treasury as security for circulating notes of puhlic moneys. Tlie deposits amounted to ".'",. 24.1,7isi.
