Nov. 4.—The next president of the Unitied States will be Will»am Howard Taft, Republican, of Ohio. The next vice preside fit will be James Schoolcraft Sherman, Republican, of New fork.

Mr. Taft will received 298 elect oral, votes to Mr. ftryan 186. The latter has carried West Virginia, which

went to Mr. Roosevelt four years •go, and perhaps Nebraska, and may have won back the one electoral vote which Maryland gave to the Republican candidate in 1900.

I central states, with ah aggregate of elxty-five electoral votes, have gone Republican despite the fight made to them into the Democratic column. The success of Mr. Taft in these states, considered vitally necessary to his election, has carried with it the •access of the Republican state tlcitets. Governor Deneen In Illinois and Governor Harris in Ohio, Republican candidates for re-election, retain their •eats, and Congressman Watson will •ucqped .1. Frank Hanly in Indiana. Republican Lopes of carrying Kentucky proved vain in spite of the victory of Willson. Republican, in the gubernatorial contest last year. The greater part of thd state's congressional delegation will be Democratic. The Pacific coast states. California, Washington and Oregon, have ( given their votes to the Republican candidate, but Nevada, which voted against Parker in 1904. gave Its votes this year to Bryan. The Dakotas and Minnesota are again Republican, but Governor Johnson’s personal popularity has probably sufficed to seat him again in the gubernatorial chair of the North Star State. Wisconsin, Michigan, Town and In fact the entire west arl northwest are Republican, except Montana. Results in the East. Pennsylvania has gone Republican by 400,000 majority and New Jersey by 84,110. Connecticut Is Republican save In a few cities •nd towns, but Congressman George L. Lilley, the Republican candidate for governor, ran behind Mr. Taft. His majority is 5,000, whereas the Republican presidential candidate has carried the state by 8,500. This is below Mr. Roosevelt’s figure in 1904, and the tame thing Is true of practically every •tate in the Union that has been carried by both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft The South btlll Solid.

The “solid south” Is still solidly Democratic. Mr. Bryan polling the usual large majorities. Only In Maryland has the Republican party made serious inroads on the Democratic vote. Taft's plurality in Rhode Island Is about 18,000. Delaware, about which some doubt was expressed before, election, Ims gone Republican. The New England states have gone for Taft and fiavo elected Republican governors. Tn Massachusetts the Independence party candidate for governor made a good allowing, though r.uinlng far behind the vote of Thom.is L. Hisgen last year. Result as to Congress. The lower house of the Sixty-first congress will be Republican by about the same majority. Speaker Cannon has won his fight for re-election, but by a reduced majority.

NUTMEG STATE IS t’OK TAFT Plurality. Compared With Roosevelt's. Is Increased. ’ Hartford, Conn., Nov. 4.—-Despite the efforts made to place Connecticut in the Democratic column, the state has given its vote to the Republican candidate. Mr. Taft's majority has also gone above that of Mr. Roosevelt four years ago. In that year the Re

publics n catid oitic tc.i <>t He •,» ..• 38,180. This year Mr. TafV^i.njui; to 38,430. Congressman Lilley has lieen elected governor by 10.004 despite the opposition to him on account of the submarine boat matter and the opposition to him hi his own party. Five' Republican congressmen have been elected, and the state legislature will lie strongly Republican. The leaders of both parties In the •tote expressed great interest In the growth of the Moria Hat vote, which increased from 2.832 in 1906 to 5.250 this wear. '''v

Indiana la Somewhat Mixed.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 4.—The endeavors of the Democrats to place Indiana in the ranks of their party, causteg the state to l»e considered doubtful

THOMAS R. MARSHALL

Some time liefore the election, have not been successful. The Hoosier vote has been given to Taft aud Sherman by a majority of front 5,000 to 15,000. Thoenas R. Marshal], Democratic candidate for governor, at this writing was leading his Republican opponent.

OFFICIAL VOTE OF JASPER COUNTY

James E. Watson, by about 8,000 votes. The Republican state committee claimed tiiat the votes In the rural districts would overcome this lead. Indications arc that the Democrats have gained one. and possibly more representatives from Indiana. Overstreet (Republican) of the Seventh congressional district, is running a close race with hts Democratic opponent, Chas. A. Korbly. Korbly claims his election by 2,000. The legislature is still in doubt. The defeat of the Marion county Republican ticket will probably also carry down with it the eight representatives from that county, and may give the legislature to the Democrats.

Greenlee vs. Eva Greenlee; suit for divorce.

The complaint states that the parties were married March 12, 1894, and lived together as husband and wife Until Nbvember 1997, when they separated and have since llvQd apart; that they have three children aged 13, 11 and 4 years, respectively; that the l&t two years of their married life has not been pleasant nor congenial on account of the sullen demeanor of defendant toward plaintiff, calling him bad names, etc., and refusing to care for him in sickness; that plaintiff has always treated defendant as a busband should and tried to do, his part as a husband and father; that he has tried repeatedly to conciliate defendant and to convince her of the error of her ways, etc., but she has refused to be conciliated or to live with him. Plaintiff states that he is willing the children shall select which they desire to live with after the separation. The parties reside at McCoysburg.

—o, r The ditch case of. John Renicker, er. al. vs. Thomas Davis, et al. appealed to the appellate court, was dismissed Friday, the court holding: (1) In order that an appeal to the Circuit Court from an order of a board to commissioners overruling exceptions to the preliminary report of the drainage commissioners in favor of the construction of a public ditch may be taken under Sections 3 and 9 of Acts 1905, .Pages 461, 472, before the final order or judgihent by such board has been made, it is necessary that the provisions of the statute allowing such an interlocutory appeal be strictly flowed. (2) The statute permits such an interlocutory appeal “by praying for such appeal at the time of the decision of the court upon the exception to the preliminary report, and by filing within thirty days thereafter an appeal bond,’’ etc., and obviously aims to make all such appeals in the nature of term time appeals, and makes the appeal operate to stay all proceedings in court below until it is determined. Therefore, where there was nc prsv, er for an appeal at the time th«* ruling was made, and the court proceeded to refer the petition and report back to the drainage commissioners, an appeal thereafter taken by merely filing an appeal bond gave the Circuit Court no jurisdiction and this court acquired none on appeal from it.
