this city.
One fact is assured, that Reagan, who was
sitting beside his wife in the palace car, was
crushed to death. A rumor of the shooting
of Frenchy Johnson by Davis prevailed, but
is supposed to be false. Steam from the
engines scalded several and added to the
general CONSERVATION and misery. The ac-
cident was caused by misplaced switch.
Two wrecking trains with surgeons were
sent to the scene. The excitement is in
tense throughout the city.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 9.-At the Charter

over the Democrats The Greenbackers
polled nearly 5000 votes. On the general
ticket they elect one Freeholder and one
School Commissioner.
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-10-09

Up to noon our table is still incomplete,
but we hope to have it nearly if not quite
full as to candidates where there is close
race, in Second Edition.
Democrats concede the election of the
whole Republican ticket except for Prose-
cutting Attorney and Judge of Probate
Court They also claim the election of Goss
in the Second District but admit the defeat
Of Sayler in the First.
We are inclined to believe Matson is de,
feated. Our footings give the following:
Mason 1894
Montgomery. %, $40
This leaves four voting places to hear
from, which, if they go as they did two
years ago, will give a net Democratic mar
jority of 31s. This will leave Montgomery
6S. If Matson overcomes that in the four
voting places he is elected, otherwise not.
We see no basis upon which to figure the
election of Goss.
We figure at noon, with all voting places
heard from except two and those estimated
on unverified reports, as follows
The Republicans have the State ticket in
this county by about 200 majority.
Weber is elected Sheriff by about 1900
majority.
For County Commissioner, Zumsten IL

For Coroner, Carrick has something Ike
