INDIANAPOLIS, May 7-Speaking of
the elections yesterday, the Journal says
The result in all towns and cities of In
diana which are organized under the
general law, is given in our telegraph
and local columns, and is eminently sat
isfactory. We may say it is a glorious
Republican victory along the whole line
with the exception of one or two cities,
where the result was influenced by local
issues. The Republicans made q large
gain in the city of Indianapolis The
Republican victory is overwhelming
even so large that it will overcome the
margin gained by the democratic legis-
lature in the congressional apportion-
ment.

O'Clock last night an explosian of gas in

while the men were brushing out an ac-
emulation of gas in the lower vein, it

eXtingulsh the flames the mine had to be

envy of homeOpathists and the Missouri

citation met in this city in annual con-
vention to-day, about thirty physicians

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May Mrs. Sa-
rah w. Underwood, a lady moving in
the tirst-class circles of society, was ar
rested yesterday, at the instance of Har-
ry S. HAYDEN, of Chicago, on charge of
uttering forged papers. The complaint
charges that note to the amount of 1925,
signed A. G. Underwood, was made and
executed by Albert G. Underwood, of
this city, husband of the lady arrested,
while it purpOrted to be the paper of AL
vim G.. Underwood, of Milford, Massa-
chusetts, father-in-law of the accused.
1t is alleged that similar notes, to the
amount of 81 800, are held by prominent
parties of this city. The defendant
promptly gave bonds for her future ap-
pearance, ex-governor Ludington becom-
ing the principal surety. Mrs. Under
wood, outside of her social position, is
more or less prominent on account of
ffNrf ,nNa laNs
time ago, whereby she realized a profit
of $4,000, but afterwards met reverses,
losing this amount and much more.
SAN FRANCISCO, May THE opposi-
ton concede this city by 1900 majority
against the new constitution. The ma
jority will probably be over 10000. Re
turns from the interior are yet too mea-
ger to state with any accuracy the result.
The present indications are that the vote
outside of San Francisco will give a
small majority in favor of the new con-
stitution. There is no question, howev-
er, as to the defeat of the instrument, as
the majority in the city will far more
than overcome the country.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 1.-THE Journ-
al says that the news published abroad
about the state of affairs here is untrue

sessing arms must inform the authori-
ties. All traffic is entirely free and I'm
impeded. The statements that theatres
could not be visited without official per-
mits, and that lights IN the houses would
not be allowed after ten o'clock, is a rid
iculOus invention. The city lives and
works in the same manner as heretofore
without excitement and undisturbed in
its daily life intercourse.
ATLANTA, May THE National board
of health today discussed the question
of railroad quarantine, and passed reso-
buttons regulating the same. The reso-
!utions from the Mississippi Valley San

stood very high.

versal adoption of the eight hour system,
and will settle the matter of wages after
their demand on that point is acceeded
to. This point has been decided on in
their private councils, but is no secret.
