charged with the task Of inquiring into the
evils caused by excessive drinking in Rus
sia have resolved by an overwhelming ma
jority to advise diminution in the number
of licensed liquor houses. They also favor
the regulation Of such places by the local
authorities. The drinking habits of the
Russians have reached such pitch that

revenue in 1880 was derived from the tax

MISSISSIPPI
THE UsUAI DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

THE USUAL DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. S.-The heavy rain
that has fallen throughout the greater part of
the State to-day causes election returns to
come in much slower than usual. The vote of
this city will give the Greenback and Republ1-
can tickets a majority of 200, but the county
will undoubtedly give majority for the Dem
ocratic State and county tickets Of about 500.
The returns up to this hour give the Demo-
cratic State ticket a majority of $500. Little
doubt Is felt as to the final result which will be
the election of the entire Democratic State
ticket with large majority in both branches
of legislature. The election has passed off
more quietly and peaceably than was antici-
led. 1Le only disturbance tuus lar repurted
occurred at Marion, Lauderdale county, where
four white men, Democrats, were killed by
negroes. The difficulty is said to have been
entirely unprovcked, and has caused much
excitement in that neighborhood. Full par
ticulars have not yet been received here.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov S.-The Republicans
have elected the candidate for state treasurer
in this State by about O,OOO majority. Wolfe,
the Independent candidate for treasurer, did
not poll as heavy vote as was expected,
although it will probably approximate 80, 600.
The vote in the State is light, and especially
80 in this city. One independent candi-
date for city commissioner, Krumbose, is un-
doubtedly, and perhaps two are, elected
in the city The result of the election is i'm
portant as it it develops the strength of the
independent element in the State. In this city
party lines were evenly broken down and both
parties voted for the independent candidates

MILWAUKEE, Nov Sat IL o'clock, reports
received at the united headquarters Of the Re-
publican and Democratic managers from 135
of the 1885 precincts in the State gave net
Democratic gain of $500. Rusk, however, is
undoubtedly elected by small majority. The
total vote on the gubernatoral ticket in the city
of Milwaukee is as follows: Rusk, Rep. 6, ,O92;
Fratt, Dem, 5,693: Kanouse, Temperance,
33s; Allis, Greenback, 319; Rusk's majority
over Fratt, 399 This vote shows falling of
of over 1000 Republican votes as compared
with the gubernatorial vote of 1879.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. S.-Out of 1000 towns
in the State, 125 have been heard from, which
give Democratic gain of 800. Returns up
to $50 p. M. indicate very light vote all over
the State. Milwaukee, city and county, gives
Rusk, Rep, for governor, 255 Majority, while
Falk, Democratic candidate for state treasurer,
runs over 5000 ahead Of his ticket, and
there is a bare possibility Of Falk's election.
Returns from 80 towns, comprising over 200

owned all this but was trying to cover 1t
up In his sons name, as the son had moth
ing to do with 1t only in name, fact OF
which Mr.. Jones was well aware, and
feared that at the end Of the season, when
he called for my, the son would own all
the property. Mr.. Webb finally made a
contract to set out 1000 cases to J. w.
Jones from these two factories. chs fly
from the one claimed by Horace Webb To
be owned by him. We understand that
the said 1900 cases have been delivered to
Mr.. Jones's sgent, and that when the corn
Is shipped the attachments will be released
at both places. The farmers and creditors
OF Mr.. Webb are greatly incensed against
Jones at the course he has taken, and have
thought Of putting Mr.. Webb In bankrupt
cy In order 10 dissolve the attachment and
force Mr.. Jones to share with the rest OF
the creditors. Mr. Jones, however, refuses
to give up his claim on Horace until the
whole claim is paid or the 1000 cases OF
corn are shipped, as there Is corn enough
in both places TO pay all Indebtedness.
Mr.. Jones and friends assert that Horace
Webb is only nominally owner OF the Rum
ford property and has no legitimate claim
upon 1t.
