Tho Democrats Claiming the statc-I oIOse
Fight In Brooklyn
At midnight il is impossible to give ac
curate figures as the rcEult Of the election,
in New York 1t has been a quiet day
in the city, with good weather and
fair vote. The best figuring aud estimates
show that the Democratic state ticket has
majority in the city OF 5000 or 80, 900,
save Maynard. the head of the ticket, who
runs from TO- 600 to $4,000 behind. lie
runs behind in all the large c.to7, thanks
to the combined ellJrts Of the Catholics
aud liquor men, who fought him
savagely. IL is probable that the
Democratic state ticket is elected by 10000
or %, 900, barring Maynard, who will prob
ably squeeze through with 1000 or ., 900
majority. 1t Is now very probable that
tho assembly is Republican, though it
cannot be said certainly. The majority
either way will be small. The Senate will
be Republican, decidedly twenty to twelve
or twenty two to ten. In tho city
there has been no end of cutting and trad.
ing. 1t is probable that Reilly, tho Dem
ocratic nominee for register, Is elected by
%, 900 majority. One result of the days
work is that Gsneral Frank SPINDLE and
his short collar will not go 10 tho Legisla-
ture next term, he having been defeated at
the polls. In faos, Tammany has
Jared rather poorly whore it came to q
square fight.
There has been quito as much interest
over the contest between Low and Hen
dirk for mayoralty Of Brooklyn as oyor
any other local issue. Up to an hour ago
ths Low men claimed the election of their
man. Now the reports say that Hendrix,
Democrat, is elected by 1000 majority.
This may be reversed in another hour.
Low was elected two years ago by 4, 800.
Cleveland got 80, 900 year ago in Brook
lyn. Maynard runs behind his ticket there
4,500, but the rest of the state ticket got
about 5000 in Brooklyn, 50 that it is very
probable that Hendrix il elected.

crat, for secretary of state, runs far be-
hind his ticket, and his election IL regarded
as doubtful. The Senate is undoubtedly
Republican. From present returns, which
have como in slowly, leaving many places

thoro will be Is Republican senators to l3
Democrats The latest indications are
that the assembly may b. Republican also
by o. to Gl. Several districts arc in doubt
however, Husted's (Wcstchcstc) among
others.
Tammany hall elects only one senator
from this city, JohnJ. Cullon, who defeats
the county Democratic candidate in the
Ninth district.

The defeat of ;. Davis Page for con-
troller in Philadelphia shows that the
much vaunted freedom from bOssism of
that city is a vain deluslOn. With the
support Of a united and aggressive De-
mocracy, earnestly favored by such inhu-
ential newspapers as the Times, the Press
and the Ledger, and with the Committee
of One Hundred struggling for him and
its own future existence, the bosses have
proven OmnipOteIt over all. The verdict
may be accepted as a distinct rebuke to
honesty and non.partisan fidelity in OH
cial place, and an open letter of notihca
tion that the ringsters of that city have
returned TO stay. Not that Mr.. Jeffrcs
is personally IA dangerous man to place
in this responsible Office. He Is rcputed
to be an excellent business man of IRE
proachable character But the power
that nominated and elected him is a
Samson In its strength, and before its
blightning influence The new controller
must inevitably bow. After all that has
been gained on the side Of reform in that
ring-ridden city, pity it is that the
vitally important outpost of the con
trollership should have been captured by
the INSCRIPTIONS enemy. For the Io.
suit the Democracy and the Committee
of One Hundred are in no wise responsi.

and simple, and that party is welcome

tinue to chew for four years to come

Chattanooga iIcnnl Times, NOV. s.
Deputy Marshal Racer had quito an cx-

Hak!Gs, who was charged with violating
the iutc.na revenue law. Learning that he
was at church, where n protraoted meeting
was in progress, he proceeded thCro and
cndeayOred to spot ont his man. His ap-
p3aranCD at the church door bad almost
the effect Of an unexpected attack by wild
beasts. Ia au instant nearly every man
in the building arose to his feet aud began
searching for sDmo means of escape, each
one fearing the officer had come for him.
About tho time hail the congregation
had succeeded in crawling ont of
the windows the officer cspicd his
man and Commanded him to halt.
Again tho frightened mon thought their
time had come, and each made u break
for freedom, j0stling the screaming
women and children in their frantic efforts
to get out of tho building. The entire
church was in an uproar aud the women
seemed crazed with fear. AT last tho
officer succeeded in arrested his man, and
when convinced that all were not in
danger, peace soon resumed its sway.

IN OTHER STATES.
An Exciting Uontest Throughout yirginis-
Malone Probably Beaten.

Amidst the greatest excitement through.
out Virginia the election took place
Tuesday. Men in all sections were armed
to the teeth, and the consciousness of this
fact made the election officers very eau
tious. Many ex Confsderates had their old
revolvers out for the first time since they
used them in battle. Even society men,
visiting in the cities in the night, stroye
IN vain by sitting on corners of chairs to
conceal tho pistols in their hip pockets.
knowing OF all this the vigilance of the
peace officers was doubled aud every effort
was made to secure the smooth working
OF the election. In DanVille where the
greatest disturbance was apprehended, the
city was quiet. Malone gave the negroes
their orders not TO vote aud they remained
away from the polls. This is an ackpowl.
edged part OF the Malone returning board
plan to throw out the vote of Danville
upon the plea of Intimidation of negroes.

Madras urcen sun

London DAILY News
Some excitement is stated by the lGdan
papers to have been caused among the
people of the Madras presidency by the
fact Of the sun having recently presented
a bright green appearance, particularly
near tho time of setting. Prot. Micho
Smith, commenting upon this phenome-
non, says that as far as he eau discover
the appearance of green sun is very un.
common, Mr.. LoCkyer, however, once
observed the sun TO be of vivid green
when seen through the steam Of little
paddle boat on Lake Windmoro, and this
circumstance, he thinks, points to o solu-
tion of the difficulty, and shows that the
cause of the appearance is an unusual
amount of aqueous vapor in the atmOB
phere, existing as actual yapOr and not
condensed into clouds. Some experiments
with the spectrum, OF which Prof. Smith,
gives the details, appear to confirm this
hypothesis.
