TUESDAY'S ELECTION. The Democrat* carried New York last Tuesday by the rather surprising majority of 10,000 to 15,000. The Republicans had been hopeful of success but the Prohibition vote turned out to be unexpectedly large, reaching welt up to 50,000, while the George labor vote was much Htnailer tbamliad been counted on by the Republicans, being in the city of New York little more than half what it was in the mayoralty election a year ago, and reaching about 60,000 only in the whole State. It seems clear that it for but little in the Presidentest next year and if New York is to determine the result in 1888, as it

will eount

onte8

Republican success. Mr. Cleveland will be renominated and will carry New Yrrk against any Republican that can be named.

Outside of New York the Republicans had good success, carrying Massachusetts by 17,000, Pennsylvania by •**-!,000, Ohio by ^,000 to 30,000, Jowa and Nebraska by strong majorities and cutting down the Democratic majority somewhat in Maryland. They also control tho New Jersey Iiegislature. The Democrats, however, have a large majority ill the Virginia Ivfgisiatnre, insuring a Democratic United Slatos Senator in place of Mahone.

One of the bitterest tights was in the city of New York, where the Republicans had nominated Nieoll, a Democrat, for l)istrict Attorney and were joined by a large body of Independent Democrats who rebelled against the machine boodle candidate, Col. Fellows, and were led by the New York World. But in spite of the defection the ring candidate was triumphantly elected, a conclusive proof of the power of the Democratic machine in Now York, while in Chicago, Judge Gray, who tried tho Anarchists, was reelected almost unanimously, his vote being 50,000 to t,000 cast for his opponent Capt. Black, thb attorney of tho Anarchists. This shows tho strength of the law and order sentiment in Chicago.

THE WASTE BY FIRE. It seems startling indeed, when wo stop to consider the matter, that over one hundred millions of dollars worth of property should be destroyed in this country each year by lire* That is an enormous sum and equals the surpius revenue of the government about reduc ing which there is so much talk. The ditlerence botwoen the two things is that tho surplus is that much good money locked up in Uncle Sam's treasury, while the fire waste represents an ab solute destruction of value for although the insurance companies make good part of the loss to indidldual owners, thoro is just so much property v,iped out of existt^y for all that.

This J^j^^yfire waste will be larger lie loss for October was a 0,000,000 as against $12,0001880, but tho ten ntonths ip nearly $108,000,000, as against $05,400,000 for the same period of 1880. No other country sustains such a heavy tiro waste and It Is undoubtedly truo that the United States would not need to be so if more care were exercised for the protection of property. Thoro is too much carelessness in handling, storing and koeping combustible materials, in putting up buildings having defec tivfc flues, and iu the use of property genorally. It should be the purpose of every one to exert himself in diminishing tho loss of property by Are. It Is an enormous t«x upon the people.

DANGER FROM CHOLERA. It is well that the danger arising from vessels infected with cholera coming into our port was discovered during the present fall. There will probably be no outbreak of tho dlseaso this season and the note of alarm will tend to increase vigilance in the authorities. It is evident that the carelessness of the Now York quarantine officers must not be repeated next summer, if this country is to have any assurance against an inva sion of the Asiatic plague.

Just how far the New York authorities have power to go in the matter seems to bo iu some doubt. Tho quarantine commissioner Is of tho opinion that where cholera Is found on a vessel coming from an infected port the vessel could be required to return with all its passengers. It is argued with much force that such a method of dealing with the ovil would make tho steamship companies much more careful to keep passengers exposed to cholera from getting aboard at infect* ed ports.

The regulations upon the subject should certainly be much more rigid than they now are. If existing laws are not sufficient to protect us from danger of tho epidemic. Congress when it meets, should lose no time in enacting additional ones that will cover the ground as fully as it is possible to do.

PNRVMKVT CI.KVFXAND has asked the Italian minister at Washington to aid in procuring increased precautions in the inspection of vessels sailing froui Italy to the United States, in order to prevent the introduction of cholera into this country. The action is timely bat the effort should not stop there. What seems to be needed is such vigorous measures as will compel the steamship lines to see that no passengers affected with cholera shall be taken on their vessels.

AN English grand jury the other day asked the court to suppress Andrew Carnegie's book "Triumphant Democracy," on the ground that it was a "false, scandalous, defamatory, seditious and treasonable libel against the Queen." The court sensibly declined to Interfere, but the request of the grand jury has been a good advertisement for the book which will no doubt be more eagerly read than before.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAH

ANARCHISTS ANNIHILATED. This was an exciting week in Chicago

and the attention of the Nation has been turned in that direction. Yesterday was the day fixed for the execution of the Anarchists and fg the time drew .near prodigious efforts were made lo have Gov. Ogle*by commute the sentence to imprisonment for life. Some of the most respected lawyers, judges and other citizens joined in these petitions and the Governor was flooded with letters from all parts of the country appealing for mercy or demanding the execution of the sentence. Even Europe participated in the feeling and cable despatches were sent from the foreign capitals expressing ,the sentiments of the people there. The relatives and friend* of the Amurcbists went down to Springfield in a body and personally pleaded with the Governor for mercy. Seldom has any man been placed in a position of greater responsibility or del^acy.

One of the ideas indulged was that Chicago was i» danger if the sentence should be enf«rced. This feeling undoubtedly prevailed much more/hroughout the country than in Chicago,*where in fact little apprehension was felt, every precaution beiiaqf takeu to secure the safety of the city against any possible riot or bloodsheds Still, a certain amount of nervousness was felt and it was intensified by sensational publications in the newspapers.

Thursday morning Lingg, who made the bomb which* was exploded at Haymarket square,, committed suicide by exploding a dgmamite cartridge iu bis mouth, which he-obtained in some way in spite of all tib*efforts of the officers to prevent anything being smuggled into his cell. The lower part of his face was blown to pieces and death occurred in^a few hours alter\v*ird.

1

The Governor commuted to imprisotf* mont for life the sentence of Michal} Schwab and Saukuel Fielden, leavit^| four to perish by the hangman's halte# These were August Spies, George Engel, Adolph. Fischer and A. R. Parsons. The last act of the tragedy is thus told:

It was- exactly Hstt o'clock when Chief Bailiff CadtlU entered the corridor and stood, beneath, the gallows. He requested in sol-

einn tones that thegentlemen'present would rgmovcthelr hats. Instantly every head wasbared Then the tiamp, tramp of many foot^ steps was heard resounding from the central! corridor, and the crowd In front of the gallows knew that the condemned men had be*

?alteringinarcha

:um the of death. With steady, unx step white-robed tlgure stepped out fironi behind tlieprotecting metalic screen and stood upon the drop, it was August Hpies. It was evident that his hands were tiroily bound behind him underneath, his snowy shroud. He walked with a tlrm*. almost stately, tread across the platform, and look his stand under the left-hand noose at the corner of the scaffold farthest from the side at which he had entered, jigerypul* was the expressive face, and a sol awn, facskway light suone in his blue eyes. He stoo lj directly behind the still noose, which peached do

own almost to his breast, and, having tlrsi cast a momentary glance upward at the rope, let Ills eyes fall upon the aOO faces that were upturned toward him. Never a muscle did

I

he move, however no sign of flinching, or foar could bo discerned in the white face white almost as the shroud whiieh it surmounted.

1

And now a bailiff approached, and seizing Parsons'robe, passed a leathern strap around his ankles. In a moment they were closely plnloned together. Engle's legs were the next to be strapped together, and when the official approached Fischer the latter straightened up bis tall figure to Its full height and placed his ankles close together to facilitate the operation. Spies was the last, but he was the first around whose neck the fatal cord was placed. One of the attendant bailiffs seized the noose in front of Spies and passed it deftly over the doomed man's head. It caught over his right ear, but Spies, with a shake of his head, cast it down around his neck, then the bailiff tightened It till it touched the warm flesh, and carefully placed the noose beneath his left ear

When the officer approached Fischer he threw back his h* ad and bared his long muscular throat by the movement.

Fischer's neck was very long and the nose nestled snugly around it. When it was tightened around his windpipe Fischer turned around to Spies and laughingly whispered something in Spies' ear. But the other did not hear him or else was too much occupied with other thoughts to pay attention. Engel smiled down at the crowd, and turning to Deputy Peters, who guarded him, he trailed gratefnlly toward him and whispered something L* the officer that seemed to affect htm. It loosed at first as if Engel were about to salute his guard with a kiss, but he evidently satisfied himself with some word |of peace. Parson face never moved as the noosed topped over his head, but the same terrible, fixed look was on his face.

And now people were expecting that the speeches for which the four doomed ones craved, twenty minutes each, this morning would be delivered, but to everyone^ surprise the officer who had adjusted the noose proceeded to fit on the white cap without delay. It was first placed on Spies' head, completely hiding his head and race. Just before the cap was pulled over Fischer's head Deputy Spears turned his eyes up to meet those of the tail young Anarchist. Fisher smiled down on his guard Just as pleasantly as Engel did on his, and he seemed to be whispering some words of forgiveness, but it may have been otherwise, as not even the faintest echo reached the men in the corridor below. Engel and Parsons soon donned their white caps after this, and now the four men stood upon the scaffold clad from top to toe in pure white.

All was ready now for the signal to let the drop fall. In the little box at the back of the stage and fastened to the wail the invisible executioner stood with an axe poised, readv to cut the cord tbat held them between earth and heaven. The men had not noticed this but they knew the end was near.

Koran instant there was a dead silence, and then a mournful, solemn voice sounded from behind the Arst right-hand mask, and cut the air like a wall of sorrow and of warni Spies was speaking from behind Lis The words seemed to drop into thi»coid, silent air like pellets of fire. Here is what he said: "It is not meet tbat I should nxsk here, where my silence Is more terrible than my utterances.™

Then a deeper, stronger voice came out wlto a muffled, mysterious cadetwsc from behind the whit* pail tbat hid the face of Fischer. He only spoke eight wonts: "Thla i* u»e moment of my life." tbe next voice that catches up the refrain is a dififecent one. It was firm, twit the melancholy wall was not In it. It was harsh, toad, exultant. Buai was cheerlng tor Anarchy! "Hurrah Cor Anancfcyt Hurrahl"

I 1

Spies had scarcely taken his ^laee wheifhiL v.., wrajollowed by Fischer. He/too, was T-iaZT Human ?ife seems too short, though ifi a lonf white shroud that was gathered at n*on iu

the ank&s. His tall tlgure towered severs Inches over that of 8pies, aud as he stationed himself behind his particular noose his face was very pale, but a.falnt smile rested on his lips. Like Spies, tho white robe set oir to advantage the rather pleasing features of Fischer, and as the man stood there waiting for his last moment, his pale face was as calm as If he were asleep. Next came George En gel. There was a ruddy glow upon the rugged countenance of the old Anarchist, and when he ranged himself alongside Fischer he raised himself to his full height, while bis burly form seetned to expaud with the feelings that were within him. Last came Parsons. His face looked actually handsome, though it was very pale. When he stepped upon the gal lows ne turned partially sideways to the dangling noose and regarded It with a fixed, stony gase—one of mingled surprise and curiosity. Then he straightened himself under the fourth noose, and, as he did so, he turned his big gray eyes upon the crowd below with such a look of awfnl reproach and sadness as could not fall to strike the innermost chord of the hardest heart there. It was a look never to be forgotten. There was an expression of almost Inspiration on the white, calm face, and the great, stony eyes seemed to burn into men's hearts and ask: "What have I done?"

Perhaps the most striking of them is the book bearing the odd title of "She.' In this the author has fairly outdone himself in his popular line. Ayesha and her beloved Kallikrates are unique ebar aoters in fiction* Ayooha, the heroine, ie a beautiful craature who tasted of the essence of nature's forces at the fountain head, and became immortal

Her patient waiting for the coming of Kailikratea, the beloved of her youth, whose individuality was maintained through centuries, though the change called death regularly occured, oalv to be followed Uy re-birth is a fine illustration of woman's fidelity

The closing.seene, when she conducts Kallikrates to the very center »f the earth, the biriihplace of all life, in order that he may taste of immortality, is a fit climax to the'line creation.

The question naturally suggested by this strikingly original story is whether there is not somewhere in nature, a potent force whereby life may. aft least be temporarily prolonged.

Mrs. Auoie Jennoss Milles, editor of "Dress says: "In every instance Warner's Safe-Cure has tho effect to give new energy and vitality to all say powers." Mme. G*ay, teacher of Oratory and 'Physical! Culture at Syraa«se, declares: "Before I tried physical culture and Warner's safe cure, I w*m a confirmed invalids I owe much to tbat excellent remedy, aud do not hesitate to acknowl edge it/'

men in former ages lived longer than those of the present. History tells us* that they lived more in accordance wltli nature's laws—their mode of living was extremely simple, a»d in their daily life they followed the dictates of human intelligence.

If sickness comes, we of today, s»ek the remedy among the artificial farees Instead of resorting to the field of »tnre.

If when diseases coine, we would cons'ult nature, theohances are that w*would fare better, for we would then treat the oavse of suoh disorders. Modern research has shown that most of the commonly known diseases owe their origiu to the unhealthy state of the kidnevs, (he blood purifiers of the system, and if they are kept in a healthy state by the use of Warners safe cure, a vegetable compound and simple production of nature, much of the prevailing sickness would be happily averted.

It Is probable that the author of "She'' derived many of his beautiful imaginings from close communings with nature, for we are all agreed that whatever is of or from nature, is more beautiful and wholesome, than that which is artificially constructed.

wfc* tbt last words aad the last cheer of George Engel. Bat mm the weird flat* ghastly seene was brougtbt to a climax. Anons alone iemainod to ywt. Oat from Behind bis mask his voice sounded more sa4 and the*e was a more dreary, reproachfu tone in than in ie*. "May I be allowad to speak? Oh, of America," he erfedt "may I be allowed tl* privilege of speetto even at the last njoment? Harken to the voice of the peo-

vTbere was a sudden pause- Parsons never spoke a wead more. A shan^ereakiaK noise, a crash, a sickening, creak nig sound, and Spies, Parsons, Fisher and Kagle were no mem 'When the pulse-beats of all bseame imperceptible, which was about 12:».• o'clock, the physicians sat down and the fodles swung back, and forth, while the deputies stood above them. There was a conti naal sMfting of seats after the physleians left tile bodies, and nearly alBwho could get away wonted to be allowed to do so. The sheriff' ocened the door at the w*st side of the builalbg and a great many of the spectators left.

At 12 J20 Spies' body was let down anAplaeed In a coffin, while the doctor exam fried him and found that his neck was not broken. He wore a dark gr&®r tiannel shirt and diurii pan taloons, but no tout His arms weteoennned by a strap, as w«e those of ail the others.

Fischer was liest cut down. His neek was not broken. He wore a blue flannel shiat ami gray trousers.

Engel came next. He had a blue flannel shirt and wore a collar. His neck was bcoken but the spinal cosd was not severed.

Parsons was the last to be taken down He wa« clad in a neao black suit, but bad only an undershirt on.

When the bodies had been arranged la th» •ofilns the physicians made another examination, and then the lids were placed oruthe coffins, and the work was done.

The condemned men directed that Uieir bodies be turned onrer to their wives, exoept Spies, who wanted his body given to* his mother. Their wishes will be respected, and Xrcner Hertz has directed thar the boas of Lingg be given to Mr. Enger and the Caapen «rto union, in accordance with Lingg's request, so that they may all be buried, together.
