ELECTION RETURNS.

m " PUBLICAN.
WALSH RETURNS TO CONGRESS
a BATTLE WELL FOUGHT

The returns in to-day's papers are
so disconnected that it is impossible
for us at this time to give any Official
statement in regard to the great con-
test Of Tuesday last. Tilden and
Hendricks are elected without a
doubt, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the next Congress will be
largely democratic. Maryland is
claimed by the democrats by $4,000
majority which is no doubt correct
New York gives Iilden and Hen
bricks something like 10000. Nearly
all Of the Southern States as we'll as
Indiana and some others Of The north
ern States likewise have gone with
the democrats. Taking it all in all
this is great victory aud we sincere
" hope good results may be attained.
An official report of the election in
any Of the States has not yet been re
ceivel, nor will we be able to get any
more definite report for some days yet.
The democrats certainly have great
reasons to be jublcnt over the reports
already received, and the republicans
will have to make the best Of it and
quietly await for a time to recover
their losses and make another bold
fight. Pennsylvania has not yet been
heard from. \ rain storm having IN
terlered materially with the workings
Of the telegraph wire. But it is gen,
orally conceded that it will 20 repub,

than last year. In our next issue We
will give more detailed and reliable
report Of tie great battle. We hope
the hard times are at an end now, and
business will be greatly improved by
the victory just gained. Some idea Of
how the thing went may lie taken

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.

There have been no expeditions TIC
the arctic sea from the United States
dur ng the past two years, but the
British North Polar Expedition, which
sailed last yea, uade. Capt. Mares
has lately returned. A very interest
ing account of its erations an" dis
coveries is published, but still the
great problem as to the Polar Sea is
unsolvcl. Capt. Hall, who com
manded the last expedition from the
t. S and lost his life in tn, adven-
ture,. ushed his ship, the Polarls, tc
within four hundred and sixty-foul
miles of the North Pole. The English
expedition reached sixty-four miles
further and Capt. Mares declars that
it is impossible to get nearer to the
Pole. Ills advance vessel-the Alert
--wintered in ! titude 50 deg. q sec
while the Polaris had wintered in lat
itule 81 deg. IS sec. Here is GER
tainly slight advance but are we
to consider that this is the limit? Dr.
HAYES in 1860, with dog sledges, ex-
plored as high as 50 deg. 10 sec, or
only forty miles short of Capt. Marc 5
furtherest. Parry reached the same
latitude north Of Spitzbersen in 1877,
md Captain Scoresby, in the Spltz-
bergen Sea, touched 81 deg. and -
sec in 1906, or within five hundred
and ten miles Of the Pole. The eI-
forts IN the direction OF the Arctic
during seventy years, therefore, rep
resent a total advance of one hundred
and ten miles. No Polar expedition
went forth 50 well equipped, and I'M
der such favorable auspices as that
which has just returned. Bent, Maury,
ana other eminent navigators and
geographcrs are Of the opinion that
the great Gulf Stream Of the Pacific
larger and more powerful than hat
which traverses the Atlantic carries
It's volume Of warm water through
behring Strait into The Arctic Ocean,
ana keeps open the hypothetical Po-
lar Sea- But this party of Captain
Mares say there is no open sea. Moth
ing visible but vast masses of zee.

The phenomenon Of flesh falling
from a cloudless sky occurred in Gas
ton county, N, c., last Saturday after
noon. The shower fell in a cotton
field belonging to James Hannah, who
lives near Gastonia. Tie flesh--for
such it certainly is-fell for several
mint ties, descending somewhat like
hail-stones falling, and sprinkled a
space of ground equal to a square rod.
Mr.. Hannah, who saw the shower as
it fell, says it was perfectly clear at
the time, and that there was nothing
unusual visible in the sky at the place
of the singular occurrence. Mr.. Il.
Frank Clark, of Chester, returned from
CASTOR county last Monday and
brought specimen of the flesh with
him. A microscopic examinations In
licates that it resembles the flesh of
COW, and a gentleman in town, who
had the temeritv to taste it, says the
taste is similar to that of beef.

Charlie Ross Again.

The sad strange story Of the abduc-
ton of little Charlie Ross has pene-
trated to the obscurost hamlets Of the
country and will not Don be forgotten
A rev clue to the mystery has lately
been obtained. One Nelson Parker,
Of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Il col
ored man, was sent to prison several
years ago for negotiating a forged
note, given to him by some travelling
vendors Of medicines. In prison he
received some hundreds Of letters from
The medicine ped0lers, so ne Of which
have been shown in court, end if these
letters are genuine their writer's are
undoubtedly the men who have con-
trol Of Charley Ross. Parker revealed
his knowledge Of the matter to the
police, and after tracking the suspect
ed men for many months and learn
ing what was to be learned with re-
spect to their performances in the
past, detectives have arrested them
Whether or not there is sufficient ev-
idence 70: their conviction, or suil-
cient clew to the present situation Of
the boy to enable the police to find
him, cannot be known as yet but the
letters discovered, together with the
evidence Of other kinds collected, leave
little room for doubt that the right
men have been secured. 1t appears
that Westorvelt was justly convicted
Of colnplicity in the crime, and that
the boy is probably alive still some
whe. in Pennsylvania. This is the
substance o. what the letters show, if
they are genuine, they appear TO be.

A pardon was to-day granted to
Frederick B. Bush, an aged counter
teiter, who has been six years in the
penitentiary Of jefferson City, Missou-
ri. His pardon was asked for by ma
ny prominent citizens of st. Louis, on
the ground that the old man, who Is
now past sixty years Of age, had suf-
fered due amount Of punishment, and
that he certainly would not live out
the full term Of his sentence. Par
lons were also served to four Oregon
men, who have served four years Of a
life sentence, on charge Of robbing
mails and threat sning the life OF d
mail carrier.
Since their conviction the real cul-
prits have been caught and confessed
the crime, but were set free by the
Judge, on the ground Of the statute OF
limitation. The men pardoned were
convicted by a hasty trial and on cir
cumstantial evidence, but since then
the facts have all come out.

The attempt Of Charles Madison to
cross the ocean in a dory has prop,
ably resulted fatally to the adyentu-
rer, since nothing has been heard OF
him or his frail craft for six or eight
weeks; ard the perlls Of such al I'M
lertaking are welI-nigh lnsurmonnta
bic, even under the most favorable
conditions, as was shown by the eX-
perience Of Captain johnson, Of tn.
Centennial, who declares that he
would not attempt the feat again for
a million of dollars. Madison left
New York about the Sth of July. and
when two DAYS out had his main boom
broken. July 10th he boarded the
British schooner Newport, where he
remained about ten minutes, and la
ter on he boarded The ship Beethoven
and provisoned his little craft for the
continuation Of his voyage, since
which time nothing has been heard
from him.
