a SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT. - Mr..
George Hopes has been proprietor of the
Bush House for one whole year Ills resi-
dence here has been so pleasant, operations
about tho hotel have been marked with so
much energy and enterprise, that 1t has
seemed but hw short months since fret
he assumed control. Such succession of
changes, surprises and pleasures for tho
guests and for the citizens of the town
have followed one upon another that the
year has flown as If IL were but day.
But for all that, figures, which cannot de-
ceive, pointed unerringly to the fact that
Friday last was the anniversary of his first
entrance into and assuming control of the
Bush House, and he resolved TO make 1t
notable day in the history OF the hotel, and
one which would be remembered with
pleasure by its numerous friends. 1t would
have been impossible to accommodate all
the friends of the hotel, which includes
everybody, but we verify believe that if
every man, woman and child in the county
had been present the amount provided for
the great feast would have been sufficient
to supply all.
The invited guests assembled from all
parts Of tho town at the usual dinner hour.
Many of the prominent gentlemen came
accompanied by their ladies. Persons from
every occupation and from every station in
lifc were present, all eager to enjoy this
generous hospitality. Including the many
permanent boardcrs, there must have been
over one hundred guests in all who seated
Themselves at the elaboratcly ornamentcd
tables and were soon occupied In scanning
their bills Of fare. These at once displayed
how sumptuous the collation. was to be. Fifty
or more separate and distinct dishes were
upon the bills of fare, any or all Of which
could be called for and served as swiftly ss
trained walters could execute the order.
There were soups, meats, vegetables, side
dishes, cakes, ices, nuts, fruit, tea and cof-
fee all ofsuperior excellence and in unlim-
ited quantities The dinner lasted over an
hour and was richly enjoyed by all. Many
thanks are due TO Mr.. Hopes FOR his royal
hospitality, which Is thoroughly Apprccia;-
cd by the many who had the good fortuue
10 partake Of It, and who all hope iha; he
will meet with such liberal encouragement
a. will induce him Ia repeat the occurrence
on many succeeding anniversaries.

Ewing has been beaten as he was elected

The Cincinnati Gazette says the peo-

again upon sea of irredeemable and

Murder in Rawlins.

Rawlins, Oct. 14.-At twenty min

single man. Candlish has wife and
several children residing at Fort Steele,

Columbus, Oct. 15.-From ret1rns
received since noon the republicans
claim to have elected the following sem
lators in addition to those mentioned in
former dispatch: Brown, in the
sixth district; Kelly and Klein, in the
eighth; Walbridge, in the thirty-third; !;
possibly Sinks in the third, and Cham
bers probably in the fifteenth. This
gives the republicans twenty-one sena-
tors sure, or two majority.
The republicans claim to have elect
ed one representative in this county,
with a prospect of two. and 'concede
one representative elected by the demo-
Gratis. The republicans also elected a
sheriff and commissioner. The DEM
ocrats have elected coroner, but it
will take full returns to decide which
party has elected the other county OFF,
GERS.
Columbus, Oct. 15.-Since noon, the
returns received by the republican state
committee show that in addition to the
list of senators sent at noon, the re-
publicans have elected Sinks in the
third district and Mounts in the sec
ond district, but they admit the defeat
Of Chambers in the fifteenth district.
This gives the republicans 23 senators
and 81 representatives, or 13 majority
on joint ballot. The democratic COM
mittee do not concede as large a major
ity as this, and it may take the full
official returns to decide what the exact
majority in the legislature will be.
The returns which have been coming
in this evening are largely from the
democratic strongholds, which mate
rally reduces Fosters majority. Gen.
Robinson, chairman of the republican
state central committee, says he is salts
fed that Fosters majority will fall
below 10000.
Cleveland, Oct. 15.-Foster's major
ity over Ewing in Cuyahoga county is
4,75S; over all 4,197. The balance of
the state ticket averages $500 major
ity. The legislative county ticket is
elected by about 5000 republican ma
jority. The total vote in the county
was 80. .4O1.
