NEW HAMPSHIRE.

CONCORD, Nov. THE election
in this city is progressing quietly,
with little or no excitement. The
vote polled is the central wards,
up to noon, was much larger than
that ofprevi0ns years at the same
time. The following was the last
count before noon: Ward 4
Hayes 1923, Tlden 200; ward s.
JIayes316, TYlden 149; ward g.
Hayes 275, Tilden los; ward T
Hayes 100, Tilden 81, AT the Re-
publican headquarters no dis
patches have been receied yet
from towns in the State except
Mortified, which elected a Re
publican moderator, which is a
gain. The weather is rainy, but
probably will not interfere with
the vote of the State, which,
will, 1t is generally thought, be
close and smaller than that Of
last spring.
CONCORD, Nov. 1.-lhlrty-nve
towns, with an aggregate vote of
1000, show a Republican loss Of
only six on the election of 1872.
CONCORD, N, H., Nov. 7,--Twen-
~ towns and cities give Hayes
1924, Tilden 1871, scattering
90. In 1872 the same places gave
Grant 1O,975, Greeley 1854, scat
teringI66, a net Republican loss
in these places Of 1888.

sin doubt. Only the o1icia.
count can decide.
Thirty-three States will elect
Congressman on the day of the
Presidential election, and from
the best information we can OBJ.
tain we estimate that the result
will be about as follows:
Here follows a able showing
that in the Forty-third Congress,
the above 80 States, the Republi-
cans had 1913 and the Democrats
80 members; in the Forty fourth
Congress, the Republicans had
III members and the Democrats
ISL members, and in the Forty
fifth Congress the two parties will
be divided as follows: Republi-
cans, LAB and Democrats, 150mem-
bers.
In the foregoing calculation,
there are but three States which
are likely to vary materially. H.
may add one Republican to
the number we give them there; in
New York two additional Repub-
are possible, and in Penn
.sylvania, form one to two addition
al Republicans are possible, but.

Mr.. Sturgeon is a very hard
working man his time is being
spent in moving quickly to and
fro from the Tabernacle, the Pas
tors College, the schools, aims
houses, and orphanages of which
he is the guiding spirit. He passes
his life, when not actually preach
ing or working, in a pony chase,
varied by occasional llansom cabs,
Wrapped in rough blue overcoat,
with a species of soft deerstalker
hat on his head, a loose black
necktie round his massive throat,
and a cigar burning merrilyi in his
mouth, he is surely the most Jun
clerical of all preachers ofthe Cos.
pei. YET that short, thickly-built
man, with the shock head Of hair
hardly yet touched with gray,
with ample brown beard covering
his heavy jowl, and a thin line of
moustache covering his capacious
mouth, is the famous preacher for
whom, when yet a very young
man, no building could be found
sufficient to hold his congregation.
One plan he has ever pursued
during his public life. 1t is never
to reply to personal satire or at
tack. Not even a statement in
print that he had poisoned his
own mother would provoke the
ola reply. More than this,
he keeps not one volume, but
several, in his library, filled with
newspaper cuttings Of an abusive
character, and takes particular
pleasure in pointing out to his
the virulent attacks in
which he is designated mounte-
bufoon, blasphemer, hypo-
and villain. His dark brown
eye lights up with a keen twinkle
of enjoyment as he comes upon a
particularly savage onslaught,
and he actually smacks his lips
over caricatures.

John L. Routt was to-day inaugu-
rated Governor of Colorado. His
message mainly related TO topics
of local State interest; the iinan-
cial showing is particularly favor
able, there being a hansome ex-
cess of resources over all liabili-
ties, and the constitutional pro-
vision prohibits a debt or exces-
sive taxation. Educational mat
tiers are equally encouraging and

Important Decision.

A telegram was received by the
Memphis Ayalance from Jackson,
Tenn, on Saturday, as follows;
ain the cases of the city of Mem
phis and the county of Shelby and
State of Tennessee VS.. Harrington, ct
al, known as the tax cases, Judge
Freeman delivered the opinion of the
majority of the Court, holding the tax
TO be constitutional. Judges McFar-
land and Turney dissent"
. In the charters of the fernando,
Bluff City, Memphis Fire and Wash
ington Insurance companies, and the
Union and Planters Bank, and Bank
of Commerce, there is a clause which
contracts for the payment annually
of J per cent. on each share of capital
stock subscribed, which shall be in
lieu of all other taxes"
In 1921 the Legislature passed an
Act making these corporations subject
to the tax levied on all other property
real and personal. In 1873 these
companies made a test case before
Chancellor Walker, who decided the
first contract building, and the act of
of 1872 unconstitutional. The Su-
preme Court in 1873 reversed this de-
cision. A new hearing was obtained,
and the Court on Saturday decided as
above. The Ease will probably be
carried up to the United States SUI
preme Court. The use of Mr.. w. M.
Farrington's name in the case is a
mere matter OF form, he having been
President of the Union and Planters
Bank at the time the suit was conf
menced.

Our readers, remember thai
about fifteen months ago, Press
Webster shot and killed one Mil.
liner, at Walton, in this, county.
Webster made his escape, but at
the October term, 1873, Webster
was indicted bythe Boone Crimi-
nal Court, for murder, and one
Burgis also, as being an accessory
before the fact to the murder, of
Milliner. 0s.'..N .pI6-
Some time since Buugis was ar.
rested and gave bond for his ap.
pearance in the Boone Criminal
Court for trial. AT the last term
of the Criminal Court, Webster
had not been apprehcnded, and
the trial of Burgis was continued.
The whereabouts of Webster,
to the officers OF the county, was
unknown until last Saturday
when Deputy Sheriff Geo.
w. Sleet, received a dispatch
Sparta, Gallatin county,
stating that Webster was under
arrest at that place, and requested
to come after him. The Dep
atty Sheriff at once proceeded to
took charge of the prison
,r, brought him to Burlington,
md lodged him in jail to await
criminal Court.
The apprehension Of Webster
occurred as follows;

convene but upon his arrival as

too late; hethen returned To Spar
ia to take a train on the Short
line. While at the station he was
in the telegraph office, and the
operator, who was in charge of
the office and filed the same DO
sition at Walton at the time of
the shooting of Milliner, recog
nized Webster, whom he arrested
without trouble, after which he
sent the dispatch above referred
to.
Webster submitted to the au-
thorities without giving them any
trouble. He relies on proving
that the deed was justifable, and
that his life had been threatened
by Milliner.

Two Bodies Reduced to a Cal

Washington Pa.) Reporter.
Wednesday we gave the partic.
ulars ofthe placing Of two bodies
in the heated cremation furnace
of DR.. LeMoyne at $3.50 D. m. on
Tuesday, and Of the sealing I'D of
the furnace at 10 p. IN. the same
day, The healing up was neces-
sary in order to allow the retort
to cool off gradually. Yesterday
morning it was still red-hot, and
continued so for a long time.
This morning, about thirty-six
hours after the furnace had been
closed, the retort had cooled of
sufficiently, and the iron. door
which closed it was removed in
the presence OF the Doctor and a
few friends. Nothing remained
Of the bodies and the coffin but a
gallon Of dry, dusty ashes, and
cremation in the furnance was
pronounced a grand success.
On Tuesday afternoon when
they were placed in the furnace,
the bodies ofthe two sheep weigh
ed one hundred and sixty-two
pounds, making a total weight of
two hundred and twenty-six
pounds, which was completely re-
duced to ashes, in bulk that would
not more than fill a gallon meas
ure.
This experiment shows crema-
ton to be entirely feasible, and
now the question presents itself,
will it become POPULAR Aside
the prejudices growing out
Of habit and education, there can

why this mode of disposing Of the

I'll sorts Of opinions are elected.
Whatever the result may be, the

distinction Of having the first Gre
nation furnace in America.

triumph of mechanical and engin-

s%truction of all who we're not SO
fortunate as to see it in that ex-

skill Of Mr.. James Mullen, an ar

The Bangor WING and Courier
publishes extracts Of the "Ncw
School History" of the United
States," used as a text book in
Virginia and other Southern
States. In this book, used in the
common schools, the rebellion is
discussed from a standpoint of
Southern nationality. Secession
is justified, and Lincoln is spoken
of as a sectional President. The
whole story of the war is told in a
style bitterly partisan. The VIC.
tories Of the Union armies are be-
Titled, and the triumphs of the
rebel forces exaggerated. The
children are taught to believe
that the rebellion was right;
that the principles Of the party
leading the rebellion are to be
revered and that the leaders Of
the "lost cause" are to be remem-
bered as the great men of the pc
Rod. And such men as Professor
Of Yale College, insist
that it is unjust for the North to
cling so tenaciously to the past.
The people in Virginia may teach
their children to remember that
their fathers were rebels, but peo-
pie in Illinois must teach their
fathers were loyal men.--Inter-
