ELECTION NEWS.
Where to Hear the Returns.

Every State in the Union, every city, town
and hamlet will be in a fever heat to-day.
The poor District alone will remain quiet
until nightfall draws on and the laconic dis
patches begin to be posted up in front of the
Offices. Arrangements have been made in
several places in the city for the reception and
announcement of news.
Returns will be announced from the Office
of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN by means Of q
sciopticon, in the same manner that news
from the October election was written in
letters of light.
The Tilden and Hendricks Reform Club
will receive and announce the news at their
club rooms, 4S2 Seventh street northwest.
The jackson Democratic Association will
receive news at their headquarters during the
early part of the evening, but will probably
adjourn early.
The members of the Garrick Club will re-
ceiye election returns to night in their hand
some club rooms, 463-465 Pennsylvania ave-
rue. A private wire was stretched to the
rooms to-day, and special operator will re-
ceive the returns. The club is unanimously
for having good times and easy times, and to
have the news flashed right into their parlors
will be quite an improvement to the popular
style of crpwdipg Unfortunately around
telegraph bulletin, where man cannot pick
his company.
Manager Rogers has perfected arrangements
so that the returns as they are received will be
announced from the stage at the Comique.
In addition to these places the latest news
will be posted in front of the main telegraph
offices, and the vicinity of Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue will be one of the
hyeliest in the United States.
Election returns will also be received at
Geo. W. Drivers, corner of Four-and-a-half
street and PENNSYLVANIA ayepue and shown at
night by calcium light.
NJ. Geary, of the Coliseum billiard-room,
corner of Sixth and c streets, with his usual
enterprise, has determined to give his patrons
the latest returns from New York from pri-
vate source, and any one wishing to know the
result In that city accurately will do well to
pay him q visit this evening.

me Charges Against Him Not Tried Yet.

Since the adjournment of the Lutheran
Synod. which met in this city month ago,
the counsel for and against Rev. Uriel Graves,
Of Baltimore, have been In correspondence
with each other in regard to selecting COM
mittee to try the charges against that gentle
man. It will be remembered that the Synod
gave Mr.. Graves partial trial on the charges
of unclerical conduct, scbism and contumacy,
and then, finding that they had assumed an
enormous task, left It to a committee of nine,
to be selected by the counsel for either side.
The council have as yet failed to agree upon
any nine men. The prosecution complain that
cessary objection to names suggested by them
for the committee.
There is also disagreement upon the place
of holding the trial, the defense objecting to
holding It in Baltimore. The counsel for the
prosecution have addressed letter to the coun-
sci for the defense, setting forth their final
decision in the matter of selecting the commit
teemen.
The Baltimore Sun says: "Should the coun-
sci for the defense decline to agree to the pro-
positions offered In the letter, It is believed
that the committee will 90 by default, and the
trial on the charges already preferred will be
postponed to the next annual session of the
Synod. Should this be the case, It Is under
stood that the counsel for the prosecution will
bring up new charges, based upon what they
claim Is new and additional evidence against
Mr.. Graves, and viii apply to the president of
the Syned, Rev. DIR. John G. Morris, of Balti-
more, for q committee to try the new charges
preferred. Should this be the case, IL is proba-
BILE the same counsel will act as heretofore"

Ladies' Catholic Indian Missionary Associa-

The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies'
Catholic Indian Missionary Association was
held Monday at Carroll hall, in this city. Con-
siderable interest was manifested In the pro-
ceedings, and most encouraging accounts re-
ceiyed of the progress Of the work which the
association has In hand In various parts of the
country, of which q detailed account will be
given at tie next monthly meeting.
The Very Rev. j. B. A. Brouillet, the d.
rector Of the association, in a letter recently,
addressed to the various Catholic journals of
the country. states that Eve have the sssocia-
ticn already organized in twelve dioceses, with
the privilege secured for extending them to as
many more" Practical means viii thus be
provided for the spiritual wants of our Catho-
Lie Indians. Public interest among the Cath
olies is being fully awakened to the Importance
Of the objects of the association. Recently
Mr.. Mark Daley died at Waukegan, Illinois,
leaving legacy of 81 900 in support Of its OBJ.
jects. The amount thus far received from the
members Of the association, being for the Hrst
year of it's existence, has been 3,144.62, and
as much more In the form of outside confribu.
tions, through the exertions Of members.
Upon the whole, the association may be re-
garded as being firmly established and destined
to accomplish great good.

Fourth Ward Democrats,

A meeting was called last night of the DEM
ocrats Of the Fourth ward, at st. Joseph's
hall, corner of Fifth and Il streets northwest.
The call was responded to by some of the
faithful, but their spirits Jagged and their
faith was weak as they were not fully assured
that their ticket would carry off the laurels in
the Presidential contest. An effort was made
to raise the necessary funds to procure the
hall for the occasion, but the response fell
short and no meeting was held. Mr.. Joseph
Shilling, unwilling to let an opportunity go by
which could be used to strengthen the cause
of Tildenism, mounted a porch near by and
squared himself for speech. His remarks
were short and probably his speech had its
the bystanders. Several of the company met
in neighboring beer saloon after the exer-
cises on the corner, where consolation was
had in raising spirits which coon went down.

Queen Vic's Eccentric Graudsou.

Afunny story is told of the second son OF the
Prince Of Wales, Prince George Frederick. He is
merry scamp, fond Of tricks, and no more awed
by the majesty Of his sovereign than most lads are
by their grandmother. He was even less amena-
BILE to discipline q few years ago than he is now,
and on one occasion, when staying with the Queen
st the Castle, played her pretty prank. She
had solemn dinner, at which grand duke, Mr..
Gladstone and Dean Stanley assisted. At dessert
the children were sent for. When they came in
George was riotous. Grandmamma reproved
him. He went on heedlessly. Grandmamma was
again obliged to interfere. At last the youngster
became very obstreperous, and he had to be sent
under the table, from whence he was not to
emerge until he had confessed his sin and PROM
ised amendment. He was very quiet-to every
body's SURPRISE but, when challenged, assured his
imperturbable grandmamma that he was not yet
quite good, but would be soon. At last he was
satisfied with his own condition, and emerged as
naked as when he was born. He thought that he
could not do better than his first parents. and re-
turned, therefore, to state of Paradisacal inno-
eence.

Indisputable.

The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate alienation Of paiu and positive
quick cure, is without doubt, Benson's capcine
porous plasters. The public appreciates arti-
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi-
clans and druggists speak in glowing terms Of
their great curative properties, who know
them tob superior to any other known medicine,
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronic and local
diseases which other porous plasters simply re-
lieve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatics, and all diseases in which porous
plasters have been valued, are by Renson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation Is without
parallel In the history of true medicine; their
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisons Try them and
you will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.

Life Insurance.

As there has been considerable discussion as
to the effect of the late decision of the United
States Supreme Court in relation to lapsed
life insurance policies in the Southern States,
the following letter to the agent of the Equi-
table Life, in this city, speaks well for the
tact and management OF that company:

HOUSE THIEVES.
Tue CITY Infested-A Burglar Caught.

The CITY Infested-A Burglar Caught
In addition to the cases of attempted bur-
glary mentioned in yesterdays REPuBLIcAN,
others have been reported to the police. Tue
thieves seem to be all of one class, and effect
entrances by cutting Stats of blinds or in some
similar way. None of them work on large
scale, but appear to be satisfied with small
plunder. The most serious case known is the
robbery of the cigar store, $50 F street,
owned by F. v. Barker. This occurred some
time Saturday night. The large plate glass
was broken, and the show window stripped OF
cigars, tobacco, pipes, ETC., the loss being esti-
mated altogether at 500. ..-.
thief entered the house Of Mr.. T. II. SheP-
herd, on Ninth street, between N and n streets,
early yesterday morning, by prying shutter
from q back window. He invaded Mr.. Shep-
herds chamber, whereupon that gentleman,
armed with pistol, chased him out of the
house and into the street, but did not oyertake
him.
About $50 O'Clock yesterday morning the
dwelling house of Charles E. Rice was entered
by a thief, who entered by back window.
The thief entered a room in which Mr..
Charles P. Pushaw was sleeping. That gen.
tlemsn woke up and became aware that there
was some one in the room. He awoke his
brother, and they both jumped out of bed.
The thief then quickly left the ROOM The
two gentleman followed him to third-story
back room, when the thief jumped from
window to q back building, and from there
clambered to a fence and got away. An alarm
was given, which brought the police about
the premises, and Officer O'Hare captured
colored man named Frank Gordon, just as he
was emerging from an alley adjacent to the
premises. The prints Of a mans bare feet
were discovered In the soft earth In the yard
of the house, and the officer made the prisoner
take off bis shoe, and his foot was found to fit
exactly in the prints. The rear window ap-
peared to have been opened by wire so bent
as 10 be capable of drawing the bolt.
The yard fence was surmounted by step
ladder, which the thief had borrowed for the
occasion from a neighboring yard. Gordon
was brought into the Police Court yesterday
morning, and when the above facts were
ELECTED the case was sent to the grand jury
and the prisoner was committed in default Of
s.. 600 bail.

Wcrthy of Remembrance.

Why will you suffer violent pain, or be
made uncomfortable, distressed in mind or
body, when you can be instantly relieved and
quickly cured by Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters. The ordinary porous plaster is an
article of merit, yet Its action is too slow, re-
quiring days and weeks of continuous wear to
effect cure, Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter, being great improvement over them, re-
lieyes you instantly, and cures you quicker
than any known plaster, liniment or COM
pound. Their action is more powerful than
electricity, and more certain. They are purely
vegetable, contain no mineral or metallic
ppisons. Their composition and properties are
founded upon true medical skill, and are in
no sense patent medicine. They are in
dorsed by thousands of physicians and drug
gists, of unimpeachable reputation, as being
an article Of genuine merit and worthy off pub
lie confidence. Try them and be Convinced.

Almost an Accident.

About O'Clock last evening a couple of
colored people attempted to cross Fifth street
just as one of the F-street cars was turning
Into 1t from d street. The driver called to
them to take care, but they were too intent
on their conversation to hear his voice or
notice the approach Of the car. Before the
break could be applied the horse struck the
man on bis shoulder, spinning him around
and he finally fell upon the back Of his head just
within the rail. A powerful application of the
break stopped the car suddenly, pitching the
passengers forward, and in bare time TO save
the mans neck, which was already under the
platform and in close proximity to the wheel.
The man was drawn out without having been
injured, but having suffered terrible fright.
Had the occurrence taken place on a straight
track, with the rails wet as they were, the
man must have been killed, for without the
friction of the curve the car could not have
been stopped in time. The driver was not to
blame, as he did not anticipate that the people
would step directly into so dangerous posi-
