SATURDAY, March %.
THE NEWS last evening published
letter from ]. D. Perkins, prosecuting
attorney of Madison county, Missouri,
to County Attorney Sedgwick, of this
city, in which it was stated that the re-
mains of man in an advanced stage of
decomposition had been found in Madi-
son county, who had eithe: been MUIR
dered or had committed suicide, and
that certain papers found among his
personal effects contained the names of
parties living in Emporia, among them
and H. Wolf s. Co. of this city were par
ties. A stencil plate for marking
clothes, on which was cut the name of
Nv. II. Cunningham" was also discov-
cred in his trunk, which was traced by
means of baggage checks found on the
person of the deceased to Cairo, and this
as will he seen by further perusal, has
proved the clue by which the mystery
surrounding the case promises to be
cleared away.
The letter in question coming to the
notice of Mr.. o. D. Bates, a subscriber
to the NEWS, who lives on Rural street,
between Seventh and Eighth avenues,
that gentleman called at this Office last
evening to ascertain if any additional
facts regarding the case were In our
possession, and expressed the conviction
that the dead man was w. Fl. Cunning
ham. whose brother, living at Delphos,
Ottawa county, is the husband Of Mr..
Bates sister. From the last named par
ty We learn the following in relation to
Cunningham:
1t seems that he came to Emporia
about the Ist Of July last, and during
his stay here boarded first with Mr.
Bates and afterWard with Mrs. Dumond.
He was carpenter by trade, and work
ed about month at the Santa Fe round
honse, and afterwards for David Owen,
for nearly two months
While here he deposited in the SAY

3lsi OF Octnber. just before starting for

Large Democrtic Gains
Foot 20, 900 Majority
The Congressional Delega-
tionLargely Democratic.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Ohio Election on Tuesday
Oct, 10th was one OF the grandest
victories for the Democracy ever re-
corded. A complete route was put
to the Radicals and grecnbackers.
From Republican majority of a.
600 two years ago, the Democrats
win victory this year by about the
same number. The Congressional
delegation will stand about "a Dem
ocrats to 7 Republicans. A Demo-
cratic gain of eight or ten members.
The Legislature is Democratic by
large majority.
CINCINNATI Oct, =.
The blow has been SO sudden and
complete that the best informed
among the Republican leaders do not
know how to account TOR it. A null
titude of reasons are given for the ov-
erwhelming defeat. The Cincinnati,
Gazette of this city, says:
1--WE might as well recognize the
fact first as last that the Germans
have gone over to the Democrats al
most en- masse, and what appears to
be strangest of all, they talk and act
as if they meant to stay where they
have gone. Not alone have the Ger
mans gone in Il body TO the Demo-
Gratis, but the floating vote of Ohio
always large. has gone too. On the
State ticket it looks now as if the
Democrats would have a mariority of
at least rs, 900, with the Legislature
also by good working majority.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is jubil-
ant, and says: s'Now tor New York,
Pennsylvania, Indinia and Massach-
usetts. It IS another tidal wave like
1874. Puritanism, Jay Hubble, Fos-
ter's Prohibition speeches, the forged
proxies which nominated Folger, the
waste and extravaganza of the late
Congress, their revolutionary pro-
ceedings in driving out honestly ele
cted representatives, and the honor
paid to such men as Robson, Keiter
Butterworth, and the balance of the
iobbers, by their denomination, has
buried the Republican party of Ohio
under 1000, majority. If we have
notelected nineteen Congressman out
of twentyone, it will be a disappo,nt-
ment."
New York Sun: "It is another
1874. We have knewn it from the be-
ginning. The Republican party had
so outraged every decent thing IN the
country that it had to be dealt terri
Die blow. The effect of the Ohio
election will give New York to the
Democrats by large majority.
New York Herald: We have
heard for twenty years that the Dem
ncratic party was dead, but if We

its wonderful DISPLAY OF strength in
Ohio yesterday, it is good for anoth-

If you will allow me small space
in your paper l will give you a few
happenings in this part OF the coun-
try.
A fine rain last night.
The health is much better in this
vicinity than it has been tor some
time past, consequently our doctors
are not kept so busy as they were.
Some of our farmers have COM
menced cribing their corn already
and think 1t will be very wise no.
ton for all to get their corn IN the
crib as soon it will do to crib as most
persons think that the cold weather
will set in very early this fall.
Mr.. A. ]. Park is progressing
very slowly with his new house
can't tell why, though 1 guess he
will get 1t up after so long a time.
Virginia is getting her name up
IN the way of lawing. Mr.. Ola
Adlson was arrested for assault and
battery and was tried last Monday,
was found guilty and fined SIS and
costs amounting in all to $24.z5.
The next day Mr.. Marion Canady
was arrested for disturbing the peace.
He pied guilty and was fined So and
cost. All this trouble was raised
over a twenty cent foot race on Sum
day evening. If the boys will run
foot races they should not run on
Sunday. s.s.
Miss Alice Judy is to teach school
at the Crooks school house this
winter. It commences to-day.

A FrIght1ul Runaway.

ishtful runaway took place on Third street
about uine O'Clock yesterday morning, which came
near being attended with fatal results. At that hour
a double team, attached to thrse-seated spring
wagon, took fright near the corner of Third and
Cedar streets, and ran with frantic speed The
team was driven by Andrew Buckner. and the occu-
pants Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
Holgate. Nellie Holgate, Lizzie Fountaiue,
Mrs. Willis and Thomas Holgate The
party were on their way to Minneapolis and were
driving down Third street to pick up another friend
to accompany them, when the team became
nnmanageable They tore down Third street
at terrific rate of speed, and as they
passed the Merchants hotel the spectators looked
for nothing less than fatal result The driver,
however, kept the horses steady and would probably
have brought them under subjsctio but for the
well meaning but foolish attempt of psrties near the
corner Of Rosabel street. who out in the street
and threw up their hats which only had the effect to
cause the frantic horses to swerve suddenly when
the seats were thrown out, carrying their occupants
with them. Mrs. Holgate who is q lady weighing
some 900 pounds, had her left arm broken and the
bones of her right foot also broken. Mrs. Willis
sustained very serious injuries to her spine which may
prove to be permanent injury. The others escaped
with but slight bruises. The injured ladies' were
placed in Ca rriage and taken to their home in the
sixth ward, where they were attended by Drs Stew
necessarily fatal although painful. Those of Mrs.
Willis are of more serious character in more ways
than one She has family of three children de-
pending upon her daily labor for support her hus-

Michael Dauitt Land League.

The regular meeting Of the Michael Davnt land
league was held in Norden hall last evening.
The question of disseminating meetings until the
prominent members.
Mr.. McGuirk made pointed address upon
the subj ect he advocated lie advocated CONTINUING
meetings. He urged that they should do It. not on "
for the sake of Ireland but for the sake of Irshme
tn the United States he called attention to the fact
that in the legislature of Minnesota there was now
but one Irish member. The United States &C nRress
also contained but one Irshman.
Mr., hcGuirk's remarks elected considerable
enthusiasm. He followed by Mr. Donohue In n
brief address.
Col. Glenn advocated the continuance of meet
lnBs. Lie disagreed with some of the other speak
6rs who advocated complete reorganization. He
thought such an action would have a natural tend
ency 10 weaken the league, rather to convey the
impression 10 others to that effect.
Roger Vail followed i'll the same line. He did not
neIeVe warm weather was very formidable OBJ
stacls i'll the path of patriotic Irshmen. They
would not wilt at a warm breath of air. He urged
tnat an election of officers for the ensuing six
months be at once bad He stated that the leagues
IN the east were continued with increased yigor.

10 a Few words that some member each meeting de-
liver lecture upon prominent Irishman and
volunteered to open the series himself.
Upon vote being taken it WAS decided to con-
tlnue the regular meetings and election of
officers be had.

the following resolution:
