posed OF one engine and one coach ran
into the Hackensack river, owing to the
draw'bridge being open. Engineer Dex.
ter was seriously wounded by jumping
before the locomotive reached tho edge ol
the Chasm, There were about twenty
persons in the coach, mostly business men,
livingat Arlington, Montclair and Green
wood Lake, on their way to New York.
j. ID. Wood, baggage master, sitting on
the front seat OF the passenger coach, saw
the fireman leap on the front platform Of
the coach and running TO the edge,
jump into the river. He then rushed out
OF the door way and seeing tho forward
part Of the engine Just going over the
draw-bTldgC, he also jumped into the
river. The particulars are not yet received.
Only one person reported killed thus far,
and that being Ira Dexter, tho engineer,
aged 10, residing in Jersey City with his
wife and family, who had his neck broken

not seriously hurt; Jesse Williams, brake

HARTFORD, November 4.-The election
in Connecticut to-day was for members oi
the Legislature only, and for the Senate.
Elections were held in only eleven out OF
twenty-one districts, and OF these the Re.
publCans elect ten and the Democrats
one. OF the Senators elected last year
who hold over this year, seven
are Republicans and four Democrats. The
House will probably stand about l53 to
03, Republican majority OF between GO
and 70 on joint ballot. The Legislature
now elected does not choose United
States Senator, but the Senators now
elected hold over until next year, and
will vote for a Senator 10 succeed Eaton,
The net Republican gain in tho Senate l.
4 over last year, and in the House IS. The
Republican majority on joint ballot last
year was Al this year it is 9S, and pos
sibly 90.

gives the Republicans more hope oi III
election ot their State ticket.
The Tribune says: Mr.. Cornell has been
elected Governor by q plurality whicl
may reach 5000. The returns Of thu
vote for Lieutenant Governor seem Il
show that In spite OF the union Of III,
Democratic factions upon the nominees
for six State officers, the whole Republican
State ticket below Governor may be elect
ed by majority OF from 5000 to 10000
The GreenbaCk vote seems almost to have
disappeared. The Republicans have elect
ed two.thirds OF the Senate and probably
the same proportion of the Senate.
NEw YoRR, November 1.-THE World
says thousands Of Republicans voted for
Robinson, but he has been beaten be-
cause Tilden allowed the impression 10
prevail that Robinsons cause was his
cause, henCeiorth no intelligent person
will mention Tilden seriously as
a possible candidate for the Presidency.
Neither will any one mention him as q

neither succeed himself or would
allow men 10 succeed who had

cess, OF which he had at least permitted
himself to DO deprived. He lashed his
own political corpse as closely as he could
to the living candidate Of the Democracy
OF New York, and Il the State has thereby
lost the honest service OF the one, it has at
least been thereby delivered OF the inCum-
brance OF the other.
The Times says: In New York the Re.
publican victory Is overwhelmingly com.
plete. Alonzo B. Cornell is elected Coy.
ernor by plurality of40,0 900 vote, and the
entire Republican State ticket is elected.
The Republicans elect "a Senators aud IS
AsSemblymen. The Democrats s Senators
and 43 Assemblymen. The Republican
majority on joint ballot will thus be 5S.
The Sun says that Cornell has probably
o plurality Of $1,000, and that Potter and
the rest OF the State ticket are probably
elected.
The World claims the election OF Potter
and the balance Of the State ticket by

conflicting estimates regarding the re-
suit OF this State. and in the absence Of
official figures, 1t is hardly possible 10 from

safe to say that Cornells plurality will

Jessie James, One Oft Rand OTNotorIous
Outlaws, Shot and Killed by Former
Member OF Ghe Gang.
ST. LOUIS, November A dispatch
from points in Southwestern Missouri and
Kansas says that Jessie James, one OF the
notorious James boys, and supposed to
have been one OF the gang who robbed the
railroad train at Glendale, NO., a short
time since, was shot and killed by a form.
er companion named Geo. Shepherd,
about miles from Joplin, NO., and not
far from Short Greek, Kansas, on Sunday.
The dispatches make different state
ments about the affair, but it seems that
Shepherd and three other men set out
Sunday 10 capture a part OF the gang who
were known. TO be on the road TO Texas.
Shepherd's companions were to hide
in the bushes while he joined
James and his party, consisting OF himself
Il. Miller, Cofman and James Cummings.
He found them in the woods, and after
riding with them some distance suddenly
shot Jesse James in the head, then
wheeled his horse and fled. Cummings
and CotTman gave chase, and shot Shep.
herd in the thigh, but the latter escaped.
Search was then made for James body,
but it could not be found, his friends no
doubt having concealed it. Shepherd
feels sure that he killed James, having, he
says, shot him squarely in the head.
The country is much excited, and the
woods far and wide are being secured for
the desperadoes. Shepherd was formerly
a member OF James and Younger's band
was implicated in two or three robberies
committed by them, and felt great enmity
towards Jesse James for killing cousin or
nephew OF his.

The returns from the elections held yes.
erlay up to two o'clock this morning may
be summarized as follows. In New York,
Cornell, the Republican nominee for Gov.
rrnOr, has apparently been elected over
Robinson by probable plurality OF 49,
uj to $1,000. The rest OF the Re-
publican ticket falls short about
that much Of an election. This
result shows that the two wings Of TIE
Democracy, il they had been united,
could have elected their man, and leaves
tie State to be the great battle ground of
the Presidency next year. The Legisla-
taie elected is Republican, and as far as
the Senate is concerned this is an i'm
p1hant victory, for the term Of United
states Senator Herman, Democrat, expires
onthe 4;h of March, 1881, and these Sena-
tors will vote for his successor.
Iu Massachusetts, Pennsylvania Con-
Hecut, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ne
bnska, the Republicans sweep the platter
clean. Ben Butler is once more repudiat-
ed by the people Of the old Bay State.
Pennsylvania has covered herself with
glory, aud well deserves to be the Key
stone OF the Arch, She has immensely
increased her Republican vote. In Wis
coRsin, too, there were tremendous gains
!or the Republicans, particularly in the
city Of Milwaukee, once the stronghold OF
Democracy. Connecticut also did good
layswork yesterday, and she too is Re
publican. AS in New York, her Senators
elected yesterday will be called to vote for
U. S. Senator, and they will help to
oust VIM. Nv. Eaton, who now misre-
presents The State at Washington. His
torn expires with the present Congress.
Minnesota and Nebraska went Republi-
can Yesterday US matter OF course. This
istheir habit. AT this hour, however, the
returns from them are mcagre.
The victories yesterday were all that we
could well look for. We could scarcely
expect to get majority in New York, a
S'atethat, like France, is virtually controll-
elby one great city and that gave Tilden
majority OF 32,742 over Hayes in 1876, and
in which there was u reserve Greenback
vote, left over from last year, of 5000.
Yesterday was great day for the Re-
publicans Of the North. They did mag
nifccntly, and can afford to rest hope
fully on their arms until the great battle
u leSU calls them again to the contest.
P.S.-Just as we go to press we have
the news OF the great victory achieved in
Chicago yesterday, by which the Repub.
leans score magnificent gain Of 10000.
TWAS fitting that tho city in which Old
Zach. Chandler made his last speech and
closed his earthly career should thus do
honor to his memory!
LATER.-It will be seen by our special
from the New York Tribune, and also by
the regular dispatches, that there is hope
that the whole Republican State Ticket
has been elected along with Cornell.
This news may be confirmed before we
" 10 press with our second edition, and
Il 60 it will be found under its appropriate
head.
