THE OHIO ELECTION.

Democrats Ferreting Out Frauds. CINCINNATI, Oct. 17. Three Demo

cratic

clubs hold meetings last nitrht and adopted resolutins charging gross frauds by the Republicans in the recent election in Hamilton county in debauching judges and clerks and in purchasing votes. They declared in favor of the prompt prosecution of all (Vendors. To this end the Jefferon Club appropriated $2,500, the Duckworth Club 33,500 and the West End Club $1,500.

From all appearances the people are calmly waiting the official count to determine who is elected. The city was unusually quiet last night, and no trouble apprehended. An evening paper came out about 8 o'clock with display lines announcing a riot in Colutnbus. This caused the Chief of Police to order an extra fore© of men on duty at the Central Station, as a precautionary measure, but up to that time he had not considered it necessarv to increase the force.

The Committee of One Hundred is bard at work. There are busy times among them. Several violators of the registry law have alreudy been arrested.

The Evening Telegram (Republican) made its appearance on tbe streets tonight at 8 o'clock with the latest returns,

showing

the majorities for senator and

-representatives. It says: "The following are the absolute and official returns will not vary twenty from the majorities: "Senators—Hopple, 389 Kuehnert, 346 Brathears, 316 Wilson, 398. "Representatives—Crane, 391 Murpby, 360 Sands, 359 Zimmerman, 363

Grever, 346 Butterfield, 386 Johnson, 361 Maloney, 348 Howe, 324. "These are all Democrats."

While it does not give the majority for Bohnert, the paper says in another column thojt the Democrats secure the fourteen me nberp of the .Legislature from Hamilton County.

The Committee of One Hundred preferred charges before Judge Fitzgerald "in Police Court today against Edwin

Hudson, chief of police, for failure to serve seven warrants placed in his bands. The case was continued till JUtBiday. _»W.

THE BLOODY SHIRTS

A Racket Over it at Columbus. CoiitJMBUS, O., Oot. 17.—A new banner was suspended across the street opposite the headquarters of the Democratic State Committee yesterday. It was in the form of a large shirt suspended by the outstretched sleeves and painted here and there a gay red. Upon one sleeve were the words "New North," on the other. "New South," while below tbe bosom appeared a "New Deal. The last of the Bloody Shirt." The Democrats claim to have a majority of the legislature on jointt ballot, and this remarkable banner was intended to signify the vre retirement of John Sherman the so-called apostle of bloody shirtists from' the United States Senate. Several members of the G. A. R. seeing it became indignant, held an impromptu meeting and sent a representative to the Democratic headquarters to have it taken down. None of the members of the committee were present at the time, but one of the clerks consented to take it down. While it was being lowered some enthusiastic Republicans grabbed it and started for the Republican headquarters. They changed their minds, however, and saturated it with coal oil. brought it back in front of the Democratic headquarters, where they made a bonfire of it while ono of the number made a little speech. The affair attracted a largo crowd and caused considerable excitement at the time.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT

Of the Yotes Cast at Columbus. CoiitJMBUS, O., Oct. 19.—The official count of this county was continued this morning. T. E. Powell appeared for the Democratic candidates and SDoke I for three-quarters of an hour in favor of and citing authorities to the effect that ,ithe returns from Precinct A of the

Fourth ward and Precinct A of the |i|Thirteenth ward should not be counted. They are both Republican precincts.

R. A. Harrison followed for the Republican candidates, and at the conclusion of his speech the board of canvassers concluded to receive and count the returns. The objections to them were that the judges of election had failed to properly certify to tbe returns. Precinct A, Fourth ward, was counted, and tallied witn satisfaction to all candidates. Returns from the Thirteenth ward had been read through the list of Republican candidates, there being a total vote of 760 in the precinct. The original vote stood: Republicans 503 on the head of the ticket and 203 Democrats. Three hundred, tallies had been added to the full Democratic ticket with the exception of Atherton for Supreme Judge, who had been given 200. This made the total vote a little over 1,000, about 300 more votes than are in the precinct. The board decided to count the precinct as returned. This will elect about the entire Democratic county ticket, and Taylor. Republican, for the Legislature, by 45 votes, Myers and

Young, Democrats, for representatives, will still be defeated. The board of eanvassers adjourned to 2 p. m., when they will meet to sign certificates.

It was found when the Democratic state ticket was reached that the addition of 300 had been carried to the entire state and county tickets. The poll books returned are 300 names short of tbe tally sheet Clerk Joyce, Dem., who has had charge of the returns since Saturday, says the figures have undoubtedly been changed. His theory is tnat while the returns were being handed around in the court during the argument before the returning board, Saturday, some one slipped out with the tally sheet and made the changes in the figures. The work is done in a bungling manner.

Investigating at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, Oct 19.—The official count of votes cast in Hamilton county at last Tuesday's election began today.

Republican and Democratic candidates are represented by counseL Returns from three precincts were missing and a mandamus was issued in each case for their production.

It may require two or three days to complete the work. The case of Col. Hudson, chief of police, for dereliction of duty, etc., in not arresting men charged with the violation of the registry law, was continued until next Monday at the request of the state. ?.

A RAILWAY WRECK*

Three Trains in Collision on the Pennsylvania Line Near Jersey City. JERSEY CITY, Oct. 19.— On the Mead ows, four miles west of this city, at 8:35 Sunday night, there was a collision between three trains whioh resulted in eight persons being instantly killed and a large number wounded. A fast ex-

ress going west ran into a western emigrant train whioh had stopped at the coal-chute on th« east side of the Hackensack bridge, knocking a portion of the latter across the track of the Lehigh Valley road. Shortly afterwards a Lehigh Valley train, eastward bound, came thundering along, and crashed into the wreck. The dead were all on the emigrant train, as were also the injured. The brakeman of the latter train was among the victims. The wreck was the most frightful one on the road in years. The wreck made a terrible scene, all the tracks being littered. The emigrant train was just pulling away from the coal-chutes when the accident occurred. A dense fog prevailed at the time. Thomas P. Pratt, telegraph operator at Marion, has been arrested.,

Bogus* Business on a Fancy Basis^ CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Wm. Glenn, a youth of 20, was lodged in the county jail yesterday to await a hearing before the U. S. Commissioners on the charge of conducting swindling operations through the mails. Glenn lives at Rochelle, 111., where he has been employed in the office with his brother, who is the postmaster at Rochelle. Some time ago young Glenn is said to have begun negotiations with eastern dealers in foreign postage stamns and curiosities of that description under half a dozen false names. The Indiana National bank of Rochelle was given for reference as to the solvency of each of these mythical persons. This bank existed only in Glenn's fancy. Letterheads also gave the names of its imaginary officers and the amount of its imaginary capital. Glenn received all the letters addressed to the bank and gave tbe false persons excellent financial ratings. These several imaginary persons then ordered large quantities of merchandise on time. Glenn is said to have received from $100 to$500 worth of goods from A. F. Simms & Co., of Alexandria, Va. E. B. Sterling & Co., of Trenton, New Jersey, and Wm. Wetlers, of Baltimore. Complaints were made at the postoffice department by A. F. Simms & Co., and an inspector was put on the case and after weeks of watching and investigation young Glenn was arrested Saturday. A search of his room at his father's house revealed about 1,200 of the stamps and other articles shipped by the eastern firms.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

A Few Frozen Facts About It. Owing to misstatements a few facts about the government building are needed to give the people a correct idea of the condition of affairs. The contracts now made provide for the stone and brick work. The contract requires the contractors to cover the walls and brick work so as to completely guard against damage by winter weather. There is $40,000 of the original appropriation still unexpended. This would build the iron roof three or four times over. The roof would be put on now if the season was not

far advanced. The

building is getting along first rate and no one any where is being criticised about it. efPM

Hon. Malcolm May, Ex-First Assistant Postmaster General,

Hon. Mnlcom Hay was born in Philadelphia in 1842 an^ was educated at the preparatory department of the University of Pennsyffania. His school days ended at 17 ye^rs and he began tbe study of law shortljf afterward. In 1865 he returned to Pittsburg and was admitted to the bar oFAlleghony Co. and continued his membership up to the time of his death. He early assumed a leading position in the lay ranks of the Episcopal churoli and held prominent official relations in the diocesean conventions. In nolitics he was a staunch Democrat and was always a recognized leader in the conventions, both local and state. The first public position he held was that of a member of the state constitutional convention in which body he was a member of the judiciary committee. He was one of the Democratic commissioners sent to Florida to investigate the frauds alleged in the Hayes campaign. He was a delegate to the National Convention in 1876, 1880, and in 1884 ana the latter was on ths committee of resolutions and framed the tariff plank of the platform. He was a strong support of Cleveland in the convention although his colleagues from this district we& friends of Randall. He was appointed first assistant postmaster general by President Cleveland on March 18th last, and left a sickbed to go to Washington to accept the position. He rallied for a short time but the onerous duties of the position iold on his delicate constitution and fee was compelled to resign. He returned and from that time until his death today he has not been able to leave his house. Although his demise has been expected the announcement has this morning caused sincere sorrow amomr .all classes.

TWO HUNDREDTH TWINS.

The Very Latest Insurance Swindle. READING, Pa. 0ct.^20.—Application was made to the magistrate of this city yesterday by Mr. Forjpeter, a resident' of this city, for the^rrest of Saml. Franks. Forrester's story is that his wife was induced to nsy Franks $1 to become a member otW insurance opx&~ pany which would guarantee her $100 in case there was a birth in the family and $200 for twina The money was to be raised in the assessment plan among the members of the company. The magistrate has decided to investigate further before moving in the matter. It seems, however, that agents are now circulating through the country districts and soliciting policy holders for these new concerns. No such companies have been chartered. [When Ben Blanchard hears of this scheme how his mouth will water.]

THE LILY'^LUCK.

Her Debts are Beginning to Find Her Out. LONDON, Oct. 20.—The case of Mrs. Langtry, who was summoned to appear before the county court of Chelsea for refusing to pay household debts contracted while living with her husband, came up for a hearing today but was put off until, November 3rd, at the request of her counsel, who pleaded that his client could not appear owing to professional engagements which could not be broken without serious damage ta the defendant. A number re a a among the items mentioned in the summons. Mrs. Langtry claims that her husband is responsible for the debts. Mr. Langtry's friends state that he is unable to pay the bills as the only source of income he has at present is an annuity allowed him by his wife on condition that he does not molest her. [Why, oh why, did Lily Langtry take so much thought for raiment? Why did she not consider the lilies of the field, to whom she is in other respects likened, and how they grow? They toil not, neither do they spin and yet even Fweddy Gebhardt, in all his glory, to say nothing of Mr. Langtry in his retirement, is not arrayed like one of them.]

KING CHRISTIAN. 4isstl if?*

The Danish King Dallying With Dynamite. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 20.—The long-con-tinued arbitrary policy of King Christian in refusing to dismiss the Estrupp Cabinet in compliance with a vote of parliament and levying alleged unconstitutional taxes because parliament refused to vote the budget has led to a number of serious riots and imposing demonstrations in Copenhagen. The people seem determined that their representatives in parliament shall have some voice in the affairs of the government and have become so threatening in their demands, that the king has ordered the garrison of Copenhagen to be largely increased. These popular manifestations are not confined to Copenhagen alone but are general throughout Denmark. It is expected that a state of siege will be declared and it is feared that a revolution will ensue if the king persists in refusing the concessions asked by parliament. A number of political arrests have been made tending to further incite the people and blood shed is anticipated. [Cnarles I, of England, was just such another obstinate fool and he lost his head,

SHOT IN COURT

A Lively Scene in an Indianapolis Court Room. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20.—Last Friday night a negro hostler, Harrison Tasker, inveigled a German girl named Helen Huendlind into his room and brutally outraged her. He was arrested Sunday for the deed and this morning was taken into court for examination. While the case was proceeding Meinrad Huendlind, the girl's brother, drew a revolver and shot Tasker in the body, the ball penetrating the right abdominal wall and producing a probably fatal wound. Before another shot could be fired the infuriated German was seized by the officials and disarmed. A scene of confusion enued, and of course court was adjourned. Tasker was conveyed to the city hospital. The doctors give no hopes of recovery. Huendlind was remanded to the custody of the sheriff and lodged in jail.

At least he has returned, after a three months' ramble in Kansas Notwithstanding his wife's people were already with him, a little over a year's sojourn in Kansas convinced Emmet Youmans that that is not the most desirable place on earth to livo, and accordingly he and his father-in-law (Daniel Overpeck) and families packed their luggage for their native state, satisfied that there are worse places after all than Indiana... .The season is already here for shuckers to' relate their cornfield exploits and prove ^Ueir, ability to husk a certain amount of corn in a given time. The first exhibition of the kind this season in this neighborhood was given Friday by the irrepressible George D. Wood, 64 years old, on a forfeit that he could crib 70 bushels in one day 'rom the field of D. L. Modesitt. He dropped the scoop at a quarter after 5 p. m., after putting 71^ bushels into the warehouse in good order, the effect of his day's work. The corn was of the Bloody Butcher variety, and yielded 30 bushels per acre An organization was effected among the ladies of this community some time ago for the purpose of giving a series of socials for the benefit of the neighborhood in general and for the improvement of the church especially. These entertainments have been given, which, in addition to the social enjoyment, netted nearly $70 in cash, that will be used toward re-roofining and otherwise improving the church. A more general notice of these meetings beforehand could hardly fail to give better^an^more

satisfactory results.

Youngstown.

On Saturday October the 10th, 1885, Mr. Young's, near Youngstown, was the scene of a large social gathering of bis children and fnends, it being the fiftieth birthday of Mr. Young. His children decided to make a surprise on him. Accordingly they invited many of their neighbors who came with baskets well filled with what goes to make a grand feastand the table was spread with things too good to mention. The company was called on to witness the presentation of a nice suit of clothes from the children to their father which was received by him with apparent emotion as it was unexpected by him. The presentation speech was by John S. Vancleve. Mr. Young was born on the 10th day of October 1835, and is now married and has raised a family of five children, principally all grown, and he still lives on the same farm where he was born. He is the son of old uncle Sammy Young, an early settler of Vigo county. ". ZED.

Sadie Price, of Union City, Takers Her Own Life.

She Preferred Death to Facing Heir Eighty-Eight Year Old Mother.

Arrival of Two Uncles of the Deceased From Illinois—The Body Sent to Union

City...

Sadie Price, a well-dressed woman of 35, lay dead in Undertaker Ball's establishment this morning awaiting shipment to her home in Union City, Ind.

At 1:30 o'clock Friday night she came from the west on the I. & St. L. roftd and engaged a room at the National Hotel. She was alone.. She was given room eleven and the following morning at her request was changed to room twenty-one. She was cheerful and ap parently in good health. Saturday afternoon she said she expected a friend, but that her friend was sick anil couldn't come. She was well-dressed and good looking, and wore a handsome seal skin sacque and costly bracelets. She had blue eyes and light hair. She didn't register, and sent down her name as Sadie Price. i-

Saturday evening at 6 o'clock Pbrtet Dunn went up to her room in answer to a call from the bell. She was in bed. She told him 6he had the heart disease and was then suffering from cramps, At her request Dunn rubbed her hands. She said she was very sick in her stomach, and when asked if she wanted something to make her vomit replied that she &d not. She told him not to leave the room. The porter asked her if she had taken anything, and she said she hadn't. Dunn pummoned a doctor in spite of her request to the contrary. She wouldn't speak to the doctor when he came and answered only by shaking her head. She had spasms and vomitings, and was*conscious almost to the last. She died at p. M.

She said nothing about letters, but two letters and a note she had written were found in the room. One of the fletters wag addressed to her uncle, Nelson P. Green, of Coles oounty, 111,, and the other tvrMiss Stella Moist, .Union CityInd. The note read:

Please telegraph to NelBon R. Cr&eji and*

William P. Green, at Aahmore, III., to come in haste that tlieir niece has met with an accident. SADIE PBICE.

Yon will bg^ell paid for yonr trouble. SADIE PBICE. The deputy coroner opened the two letters. They were brief. The first said she had intended to go home when she left his place, but she found she hadn't the heart to go home and face her mother. The other letter said she couldn't face her mother after what had occurred. She asked Miss Moist to 600 her mother and explain all. The letters were forwarded to their destinations. Mr. Green was telegraphed for. Cash to the amount of $31 were found on the deceased.

An examination revealed the fact that the deceased had taken strychnine and Paris green. Some Paris green was 6 found in the grate. She had torn up a letter and thrown it in the grate also. It was hid in the grate, the coal put on top of it and the ash pan on top of all. •l The scraps of paper were gathered together, but nothing could be made out of them. The word "div#ce" was discerned, however.

Yesterday Wm. P. Green and Nelson P. Green arrived in the city and threw some light on the mystery. They are prominent citizens of Ashmore town ship, Coles county, HI., and are uncles of the deceased. They said the girl came to this city from their place. She stopped there on a short visit. They had not seen her for thirteen years. She had been married to a man named John Price, but they didn't know where 0 he was and had never seen him. She had not been living with him for some time. Wm. P. Green saw her the last time last Thursday morning. Nelson P. Green said she left his house Friday evening Eaying she was going home. Her maiden name was Sadie Frazier. She wrs a dressmaker. Her mother is 3 88 years old and lives at Union City. 4 The unclee evidently knew something of the girl's history that they didn't want to tell and they were not very anxious to talk on the subject. The remains, which had been embalmed,were shipped to Union City this morning.

The coroner was given a slip cut froifc a paper, which was a notification from John Price to the public that he would A*. no longt be responsible for debts contracted by his wife Sadie. From the little that could be gained from the two uncles it seems that the deceased had become involved into some trouble with

a man. It is said his name is Geo. Parker and that he lives near Casey, Ills.

The First Keen Twinge.

As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known, are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism -we doubt if there is, or can be, such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first twinge.

Congressman Johnson, of Bookvillp, was in the city today.
