NOTES. AND INCIDENTS.
EEow the Hero OF TewIxsbmry Took His
Defeat.

LOWELL, Nov. 7.-Governor Butler received
the news of his defeat quietly and calmly. Yes
terday he spent the day at home, and went out
but once, and then for the purpose of voting
At2 O'Clock he was driven to the polls, and af-
ter depositing the straight Democratic ballot,
returned to his house. The returnsJwere re-
ceived by telephone in the front hall. It was
not until o'clock, when the first estimate of
The Boston vote was received, that confidence
in the Governors reelection was shaken. "It
can't be true; there must be some mistake, y
were the exclamations. They called for a repe-
tition of the message and it was given and re-
iterated at intervals during the next half-hour
with various notifications, until there could
no longer be any doubt that it was no mistake.
When this became known everybody gave up
the contest, though Governor Butler contInu ed
imperturably to smoke hiscigar and inquire
about particular towns. At 7.30 O'Clock he
went into dinner and ate with undim inish ed
appetite, while his conversation was not by
any means confined to politics. During the
evening the figures we're added as they were
received, and, at a late hour, when tho returns
were approximately in, the inmates of the
house retired.
Gen. Butler has refused to % interviewed
and will make no statements concerning his
defeat, which he accepts complacently although
he acknowledges it was unexpected

NEBRASKA.
Republican MAJORITY Ahouf 40. 600.


LINCOLN, Nov. 7.-Reports from various
parts of Nebraska indicate the election of the
Republican State ticket by 5000 to 10000 ma
Jorlty. The count is very slow.
OMAHA, Nov. I'm. B. Reese, rep, is elect
ed chief justice of the supreme court, over j. i.
w. Savage, DEM and anti timonopoly cand idate
by 10000 to 15, 900 majority, which is some-
what reduced majority. The probability is
that later returns will reduce Reese's majority.
Estimates based on the returns from $50 pre-
ciDcts place Reese's (rep.) majority, for SUI
preme judge, in the State between 5000 and
5000.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 7.-Up to p. m. the
returns do not indicate any change in last
nights estimated Republican majority of
ten thousand.
Returns received at 10 o'clock tonight show
Republican gains on the State ticket in almost
every county. Reese (rep) is elected supreme
court judge by 10000 majority Brady (dem.)
is elected in the first judicial district by $4,000
majority; three other districts are in doubt
The Republicans elect seven circuit court
judges. Very few counties elect straight Re-
publican tickets; some give Republican major
tiles on the State ticket, and elect opposition
county officers, while in others this is rev ersed.

Full Returns Not Vet Receiyea-Republi-
cans Gain Three Senators,


BALTIMORE, Nov. Returns from a num-
ber of counties are still Incomplete, but suffi-
cient has been received to insure the election
of the entire Democratic State ticket. The
official majority for McLane in this city is
1928, and his estimated majority in the State
1900,
Roberts, (Dem.) for Attorney General, runs
ahead of McLane, and Torner (Dem.) for
Comptroller, is about even with McLsne.
OF 13 Senators the Democrats elect 8, and
the Republicans elect Senators in Anne, Arun-
del, Kent and Somerset, all three being Re-
publican gains. The Democrats gained Sem
ators in Frederick and Washington. This
with Democratic and Republican Senators

Calvert county, from which no returns are
received, to be heard from, but which probably
is Republican.

close that further returns may change the
result.

the colliery explosion
