THE ELECTIONS.

The first OF the October elections have
been held, and our best anticipatioDs are
more than realized in the result. The i'm
portance of the republican victory in Ohio
cannot be overestimated, foreshadowing AS
il does, the doom of initiation and the prob
able result of the presidential canvass next
year. That the western democracy will
continne the contest for more paper money
seems to be beyond doubt The Evans
vile, Indiana, Courier, speaking day or
two before the election, when the hand
writing was already apparent on the wall,
and evidently rejecting the sentiments Of
the western democracy, says, emphatically,
that "this money question will not be set
" tied by the Ohio election and that the
advocates of greenbacks will not cease
their efforts "until their principles have
" been impressed upon the administration
" of the government, so that, in consider
ing the probabilities of the next presiden-
tial canvass, we must take into the account
the fact that the democracy Will be either
ulNlutu anu VII tils
or will be compelled to endorse imitation,
while the republican party will present a
solid front in favor of maintaining the ma
tons honor and faith on this money ques-
ton. With such an Issue we cannot per-
NIT ourself TO doubt a republican triumph,
for 1t is impossible to conceive of the intla-
ton issue presented under more favorable
circumstances for the inflatlonsts that it
has been In Ohio and yet lis defeat has
been decisive.
We have been told all along that an I'M
known number of republicans were advo-
Gates OF Initiation and would vote in accord
ance with their convictions, and we doubt
not that such was the fact. On the other
hand, we have seen hard money democrats.

Brother Fulton and His Deacons.

The Hanson Place Baptist church of
Brooklyn has instituted sort of weekly
circus, wherein the pastor, Rev. DR.. Full
ton, and several Of the deacons ride high
horses.and cut high jinks. Tuesday night
another performance was given before a
large audience, which there is every reason
to believe would have been considerably
larger had not certificate of church mem
bership been necessary TO procure admit
lance. An eager crowd clamored for ad-
mission of an memorable deacon who kept
the door, in vain the affair was eminently
select. The waiting crowd, however, had
the qualification of occasional peeps at the
pastor as the door opened to admit fresh
arrivals. At the first peep the pastor was
preaching with song book in his left
hand. At the second peep he had trans
ferred the hymnal to his right and raised
his voice seven keys. At the next the book
had disappeared, and only two clenched
fists striking wildly about the pulpit were
to be seen. Then came season of quiet
the lull before storm. Presently hubbub
arose, like the opening of stock exchange
after big failure, and then all at once the
members came pouring out and dispersed
to their homes. What was enacted during
this hubbub it is difficult to say, but, iudg
ing from the ferocious aspects of the dea-
cons as they clipped out, 1t was probable
that another attempt was made to Dust them.

Death, or Trance i?

Mr.. Frank II. Powell has for the last
six years been ticket agent and telegraph
operator in the White Plains, n. Y, rail-
road station. He boarded with Mr.. j. G..

gentlemans daughter Tuesday afternoon.
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Powell COM
planned of sickness, but toward evening he
felt better, and the evening was passed
pleasantly with Mr.. Underhll's family.
Tuesday morning lie did not arise at the
usual hour and the servant found him un-
conscious 10 bed A physician pronounced
it an apoplectic fit and said he could not
recover. Mr.. Powell lay unconscious un-
til half past ten o'clock, and then his pulse
ceased to beat and respiration stopped.
The physician said he was dead, but his
friends noticed that his body retained its
warmth for several hours, and at 3 o'clock
they were satisfied that he was in trance.
He lay in a comatose state Wednesday

If the Free Press is well advised, as we
believe it is, in saying that Senator Ed
inunds would accept the circuit judgeship
IL IL were rendered him, We may put 1t
down as well nigh certain that he will be
Judge Woodruff's successor. He has the
ear and confidence of the president, as
has been repeatedly shown IN times past,
and 1t only needs an intimation that the
judgeship will be accepted to insure its
tender. The president, certainly, could
not do more graceful or credtable thing
than by making this appointment. By it,,
lie would evince his gratitude for past ia
vors and, at the same time, give us judge
who would honor the bench and himself
in the manner in which he would discharge
its delicate and responsible duties. Mr..
Edmunds by his education, his tastes, his
habits of thought and, in fact, in every
way, is qualified tor the place and we be-
lieve that he would do better service to the
state and country as circuit judge than he
can possibly do in the senate. We trust
the transfer will be made.

The Pembroke Murder.

There are no now developments in the
Pembroke murder case, but the probability
now Is that tue crime viii never be brought
home to any one, as the evidence thus far
obtained seems to prove Drew innocent,
antthre are no other suspected parties.
Public opinion, however, is still strong
against the prisoner, and he will be held in
custody for II while longer in the hope that
somebody may turn up against him. 1t is
not likely, however, that Pembroke will be
Il Very cungcnial place of residence for

way, that u similar case TO the recent one
occurred IN The same town AZ years ago,
when Abraham Prescott, IS years old, who

Sally Cochrane, Il, wh,te family he was
employed, made improper proposals to her,
aud, when she refused and threatened to
tell her husband, killed her with a stake.

Vanderbilt and His Party Elude
Deaths Grip at a Moment Of Peril.

The Vanderbilt blood is endowed with a
hereditary penchant for rapid transit. The
venerable commodore never makes a trip
over the big road, but that he almost takes
the temper out Of the steel, by cleaving the
air at such rate. And as the "twig is
bent the trees inclined"-the sons take uf-
ter the father. The express trains on the
Central are "slow coaches" to the Wander
bilt "wild cats" as the specials are known
in railroad parlance. This mile-a-minute
.tIayel will be the death of somebody yet,
an affirmation which finds ample corrobor-
alton in the hair breadth escape which a
directors train had on Thursday last. The
incident--which might have been terrific
catastrophe occurred at Pittsford, a sta
ton near Rochester on the Auburn road,
where there is side switch from the main
track, The switch, tender understanding
from the 'instructions given that special
due at q certain, time was to lay to on the
branch. set the switch for that purpose.
The train referred to was made up of a
locomotive and palace car, 1.-The latter con-
tdlulDB w llihul IL. Nuuuciullt, Dup0Tln-
tendent Burrows, w. Trumbull, j. Tilling-
hast, Chas. IL. Fisher, and E.. d. Worces-
ter, with Charles McCommOn, of this city,
as conductor. They were going west al
their accustomed extravagant rate of speed
the engineer expecting a clear track. Ar
irving at the switch at Pittsford, "a a
natural consequence, they were then
too late to remedy the mistake or slacken
speed. AT the other end the branch track
was connected with the main rails, but the
switch was open. The only saving point
was that this switch was supplied with a
patent self-adiusting arrangement calcula-
ted to set the switch in emergencies of this
kipd, but which are not deemed reliable.
AS the train struck the switch 1t was lifted
to tie main track and the danger escaped.
The conclusion elected all the passene ers
in the coach from their chairs, barking
shine, and smashing decanters, dishes, ETC.,
but occasloning no serious injuries. Had
the switch been such as are In common use
ON the line, or had the patent "frog'
failed to operate, (aud such instances are
not isolated), the result would certainly
have been most disastrous and number OF
railroad headlights been sent to glory. We
believe Thursdays episode was the nearest

Cold Weather.

Over six inches of snow fell at Colling-

able damage was done to fruit and orna-
mental trees by the heavy weight of snow
breaking and bending them to the ground.
There was heavy frost in the neighbor-
hood of Memphis, Tenn, on Tuesday
morning, and thin ice formed in exposed
places. II is not believed that serious
damage was done to the cotton crop, as the
upland cotton is already ripe and the
growth of that in the bottom lands will
have been checked by the frost, SO that it
will mature before excessively cold weather
comes. -

the defeat of inflation-and we believe that
these democrats, protesting TO favor an
early return to specie payments, acted and
should not be lost sight of In estimating
the significance of the result. Initiation re-
publicans voting the democratic ticket, be-
cause they believed in initiation, and hard
money democrats voting for Allen, because
he was democrat and they cared more for

account of which Senator Thurman urged
support of Allen as n party necessity.

as gained on the currency issue alone or
not, it is none the less defeat Of the de-

The result in Iowa, too, is equally signi-
ficant. Here, too, the democracy had de.
clared for initiation and the republicans had
taken strong grounds in favor of an early
resumption of specie payments, although
the financial question did noe receive that
prominence which was accorded to ii in
Ohio. The republican party, however, was
handicapped with the Reverend James
Harlan, ex-secretary and ex-senator, who
| forced himself into the canvass with
greater peitiuacity than did Columbus De-
! himself candidate for the United States
senate in case of republican success, yet in
spite of this drawback, the republicans
| have gained some ten or fifteen thousand
majority over that Of two years ago and in
creased their majority some thirty or forty
in the legislature. We do not believe that
this large gain can be ascribed TO the inan-
cial issue alone, although it is signifcan: of
the utter defeat of imitation in the nation.
| Whether or not these two victories are
alone ascribahle to the financial issue that
