DAYTON, o Oct 9.-11 p. MAT this hour
it is safe to say that the entire Democratic
County ticket is elected. There are slight
Republican gains all round and heavy vote
for the second amendment.
Owing to the great amount of scratching
returns from the city and County, up to
a. M, are meager, but show the Democrats
will probably elect their County ticket by
fair majority. The Democrats here claim
the State by 10000 majority on Governor and
nearly the same figures ON the balance of the
State ticket. Republicans very generally
concede the loss of the State, but claim
large gains in certain localities. The vote for
the second amendment although heavy, fell
short of the anticipations of its friends. Full
returns will not be in before morning

The Chicago Board of Health Establishes
Itself at the stock Yards for Inspection


The Chicago Board of Health Establishes
Itself at the Stock Yards for Inspection
Purposes.
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-For some time prst the
Times, through its columns, has been ex-
posing the inefficient inspection of cattle
and hogs at the Stock Yards. and advocated
that the inspection of stock of all kinds at
the yards be placed under the codtrol of
the City Health Department will full author
ity to condemn. Heretofore the Chicago
Health Department has had an officer at the
Stock Yards, but his authority was next to
nothing To-day, at a meeting of the Stock
Yard Directors and officers of the town of
Lake, it was agreed that the Health Com
missioner of Chicago should have absolute
control of the Stock Yards for inspection
purposes, with authority to condemn cattle,
or other animals as he saw fit. The juris-
diction of the Health Commissioner also ex-
tended over all packing and slaughter
houses situated in the town of Lake. Health
officers were Immediately stationed at each
of the three gates of the Stock Yards and all
cattle entering or passing were examined.
The animals condemned during the day
were placed in a separate pen, and on the
evening of each day will be slaughtered.
Five animals were thus killed this evening
and the carcaSSes turned over to the Union
Rendering Company at S5 each. The action
of the Stock Yards Board was heartily ap-
pIoved by Stockmen. Health Commissioner
DeWolf states that it is impossible to state
the deleterious effect on the people of Chi
cago, caused mainly by the NUMEROUS can
cerous beeves The effect of eating this beef
says De Wolf. is septic fever, being degree of
blood poisoning very similar to fever from
other causes. Hence. the inability of phys;-
clans TO trace it to cancerous meat. De
Wolf has no doubt but that a number of
deaths resulted from the consumption of this
meat, sold without the knowledge of the
Health authorities.

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Young Orphan Girl Drugged and Re-
peatedly Outraged by a Gang Of Brutal
Rufians.

A Young Orphan Girl Drugged and Re-
peatedly Outraged by a Gang of Brutal
Ruffans.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 3-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of a young
orphan girl about a week ago has been solved
to-day, and the solution develops the facts in
one of the most horrible outrages ever known
in this part of the country. In passing the
old stock yards, near the corner of Twelfth
and Hill streets, Superintendent Whitehead,
OF the Humane Society noticed two young
men leave one of the ruined stables and,
after glancing hastily around, start up the
street. He went to the barn, and there
found young girl apparently seventeen or
eighteen years old, lying on a pile of hay in
a half unconscious condition. He assisted
her 10 his carriage and conveyed her to po-
lice headquarters. 1t was then ascertained
that she was Mamie Trester, who has been
mysteriously missing from her home on
Poplar street since last Wednesday, and that
she had been drugged by party of roughs
and brutallv maltreated.
According to her own story she left home
in the afternoon. met a young man whom
she knew, and the two drank glass of wine
at a restaurant. She then became uncon-
Sclous, and when she came to her senses she
was in a car near the lumber yards the
ST. Paul track near Hill street. A dozen men
were with her. She remembers being taken
along the railroad track in the direction of
Wauwatosa, and as she partly regained con-
sciousness bottle of whisky was placed to
her lips and she was compelled to drink un-
til her memory vas drowned. Again she re-
vived and found herself IN a dark woods, a
blazing fire lighting up the surroundings
and revealing party of seventeen rough
looking men as her captors. She was dosed
with liquor and a drug until her reason
again departed. When she regained con-
sciousness a third time she was lying as
found by Superintendent Whitehead
Half famished, numb with cold, still part
ly under the influence of the drug and
liquor, she was unable to move and could
scarcely articulate when discovered The
girls family were notified and she was taken
to the home OF her brother, She is in very
critical condition and suffers greatly from
exposure, hunger and the treatment she re-
ceived. The officers are searching for the
perpetrators Of the outrage, with the chances
in favor of the arrest of the entire party.
They think circus followers took her to
Wauwatosa. The other persons are reported
to live on the West Side.

John Fay, the two men arrested yesterday
for burglarizing the Postoffice and robbing
Hon. A. P. Charles residence, were taken
before Justice R. F. Everhart last night for

DEs MONIES, Oct. 9.-Election returns sent
pared with the vote of Secretary of State in
1882 Five reports from each County in the
State have been arranged for to be sent at 10.
IL and u o clock. The report will be late,
as in the State no counting of votes is done
until the polls are closed, and most of the
polls are kept open till o'clock, and many
of them till 1t is also long ticket over
the State, so the count will be long and late.
In Des Moines up TO 5 p. m. nearly as
many votes have been polled at most of the
Precincts as last year. The indications
are the poll of the State will be as heavy as
the vote for President in $780,
g. p. m.-Rain has set in, which may inter
fere with the transmission of returns. Two
reports have been received up to this time
Vanmeter, which gives Republican maiori-
ty of 100, a Republican gain of eighty
two and the city of Brooklyn.
Poweshack, Poweshack County, which
gave Sherman 231, Kinne 49, Weaver 20 a
Republican loss of %. Stiles, Republican,
for Congress, is votes ahead of Sherman.
We send these as the first returns received at
o'clock. Nearly 6.000 otes were cast
this city.
The Second Ward in Des Moines, in which
are four-fifths of the saloons in the city, gives
Governor Sherman 81 majority. The Demo
Gratis claimed it by 200. In the Third Ward
the Republican majority on the raight tick
ct is 139. Republican gain of 127; in the
Fourth Ward 273, a Republican net gain of y.
Twenty-one Precincts show Republican
loss of 1855. This does not include three
Wards in Des Moines, where Sherman has
majority $50.

kaloosa, says three Precincts in the Sixth

Hamilton County Rolls Up Large Major
ity for HOadly-The Amendments.
COLUMBUS, O Oct. 9-The election to-day
was for State officers entire, with the excep-
tion Of Secretary of State, also for members
of the Legislature which will elect United
States Senator TO succeed Pendleton. The
election to-day was also for the adoption or
rejection of three amendments to the Con-
stitution as follows:
The first proposed amendment is intended
to reorganize the Judiciary of the State. the
other two proposed amendments relate to
the liquor traffic and are in the following
language:
]. The additional section in and with Section Is
OF the schedule shall be repealed and there shall
be substituted for it the following:
shall regulate the traffic in Intoxicating liquor so
as 10 provide against evils resulting thereirOm and
its power TO levy taxes on assessments thereon is
not limited by any provision of this Constitution"
The other proposed amendment is as fol-
lows:
.The additionsls ection, in and with Section
Is OF the schedule, snail be repeated, and there
shall be substituted for it the following: The
man ufacture of and the traffic in intoxicating
LIQUORS to be used as beverage. and forever pro
hitited, and the General Assembly shall provide
b. law for the enforcement OF this provision"
Amendments to the Constitution, to carry.
must receive majority of all the votes cast
for Governor.
The weather during the day was fine in all
portions of the State, and the indications
point to the largest vote ever polled in the
State. Consequently the returns will be
slow and very late.
Comparisons are made with the vote for
Secretary of State Newman in 1882 Th e
amendment, to carry, will have to receive a
majority of all votes cast for Governor. Sec
retary Newman had majority of 19 lis last
year. There are 1919 Wards and Precincts
in the State.
At midnight the result on the State ii cket
and Legislature is in great doubt. Chair
man Barger. of the Democratic Committee
says he thinks their majority will be about
1000 on the State ticket and that they will
carry the Legislature The Republican Com
mittee expect to elect the Governor by few
hundred, but comedies that it depends on the
result of Cincinnati and Cleveland. Returns
are meagre that neither Committee is over
confident The impression prevails that the
second amendment will carry. In case it
does neither Committne seemingly cares
little for the Legislature. Governor Foster
comedies the situation depends upon Cincin-
natl and Cleveland and says calculations as
to strong localities have been reversed on

Cole Co.'s Establishment, Greenlaw's
Opera House and other Buildings De-
stroyed.
MEMPHIS, Oct S.-Memphis was again
visited tonight by another destructive fire,
which originated in Cole & Co.'S oil, paint,
door, sash and window blind store. The
infamable material kept in stock
burned with such fierceneSs that the
firemen were unable to confine the fire
to the building where it originated, and
Greenlaw's Opera House to the east and only
separated from the burning building by
small alleyway was ignited and together
with Cole d Co.'S store completely destroyed
At one time all the stores on Union street,
west of Wire, were threatened with destruc-
ton, together with the block fronting on Main
street, south of Union, but the fire wall on
the west of Cole Il Co.'s store. which extend
ed about ten feet above the next building.
saved the others. As it was the fire con-
sumed an area of about 80 feet fronting on
Union street and 130 fronting on Second. 1t
is impossible to ascertain the exact amount
of losses or insurance tonight. but the fol-
lowinS is a fair estimote: Cole & Co s
loss on stock, $4,000; insurance about SiO,-
600 The building No. 90 Union street,
owned jointly by the Peoples Insurance
Company and the estate of j. O. Greenlaw,
valued at $4,000; insurance, 5000. The
building No. 81, owned by Mrs. 5. e. Green
law, same value, amount of insurance un-
known The Greenlaw Opera House was
owned by G. b. Peters and the Peoples In
surance Company. George B. Peters also
owned the two stores in the north portion OF
the massive structure. The two
south stores were owned by Campbell Wal
lace of Atlanta, Ga. The loss to the Opera
House building is about $4,000; insurance
not known, but is light. Mozart Society oc-
cupied the second and third stories in the
northern portion of the building, and lost
two fine pianos and other articles of value,
but are fully insured. Cole & Co. used one
of their stores for lumber room, where was
stored large stock of blinds and sash,
which was destroyed.

GREENcAsTLE, Ind. Oct. 9-The location
OF the DePauw University is considered as
settled, so far as this place is concerned.
The old A. NJ Puett homestead containing
eight and a half acres of ground, was, by
direction of Mr.. DePauw, purchased on yes
terday afternoon for $4,000. This is part of
the ground that was selected by Mr.. DePauw
some time ago. This one thing has given
real estate quite a boom within the last
twenty-four hours. and many persons are
looking around for building sites, and some
property has changed hands to-day.

Foraker will overcome Newman's majority
of last year, which was 10,6S9. The Demo
Gratis are equally hopeful that they have car
ried the entire County and State ticket. the
information is not yet at hand on which to
base an intelligent opinion.
1890 a. ln.-Seventeen Precincts oil lO5 IN
this County give Republican gain CT 1,5II.
This is on Governor. No compilation is yet
made OF the County ticket or Legislature.
This would give the County to Hoadly by
small majority, but with the votes cast for
the Reform Democratic ticket it would leave
the result as to the County and Legislature
in doubt with the chances in favor of the
Republicans No report of the actual
strength of the Reform Democratic ticket
has yet been made, while the second amend
ment gets large vote. The majority against
il will be sufficient probably TO overcome the
majority for il IN other parts of the State
Hon. Edgar NJ. Johnson, Judge Hoadly's
partner, claims the State for Hoadly by 1O,-
COO majority. He has private dispatches
showing large Democratic gains in Lucas
and Montgomery Counties, and says the
1t is wholly impossible to obtain the result
on the County ticket tonight in
Hamilton County. Reports so far
have been only of the head of the ticket. At
2:30 not half a dozen Precincts were heard
from officially in full At that hour twenty
three Precincts showed net Republican
gain for Foraker of 466. At this rate Foraker
would almost, if not quite, carry the County,
and the Republican County and
Legislative ticket certainly be elected.
There are great gains for the Republicans
in nearly all German Wards The gain in
one Ward amounts to over 600. The best
calculators find themselves at sea by reason
of the erratic results in different parts of the
city and State No estimate can be made of
the variOuS candidates for Comfy Offices
except on basis Of the estimated strength
of the reform Democratic ticket. These
voters all voted for Hoadly and the State
ticket

A Lively Shooting scrape.
,cial to the Sentinel:

Special TO the Sentinel;
WALEsBoBo, Ind, Oct. 9.-There was a
lively shooting scrape at this place last
night between Fremont Stringer and Charles
Hayron, in which several shots were fired.
Stringer lives near a school house near here,
and the scholars were engaged in spelling
match. Whilst this was going on Havron
and some of his croDies went to Stringer' S
house and took his wagon and started off
down the road with it. He came out and
fired two or three shots at the crowd
and went back. Havron and his
party went back to the house swearing they
would have his life for shooting at them.
They laid in wait for him for some time, and
when he put. his head out of the window
Havron fired two or three shots through the
grass within a few inches of his head String
er then drew mis- pistol and opened fire. which
drove his aSsailants Off Havron left soon
after the shooting and has not been seen
since.

CLEVELAND, Oct ga heavy vote was
polled to-day The Democrats claim 1900
majority in the city, The Republicans con-
cede 1900. The second amendment workers
we're very active. They had headquarters at
every Ward except the third, and IN most
precincts the ladies peddled both tickets i'm
partially to get tickets for prohibition. Coffee
and cake was served impartially to whoever
was thought to be favorable to the cause.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa,
the reputed author of the prohibi-
tion enactment or that State, was
on the ground going from Ward to Ward in
a carriage directing the temperance forces
Notices were profusely displayed, at the
Second Amendment Headquarters like,

Vote for the second amendment and down
will go the saloons and taxes, and up will go

and the Babies " The ladies wore badges
with the State coat of arms and the inscrip-
tion: Second amendment for God, and
home and native land
When the polls closed tonight the Repub-
licans gave up nearly every Ward, and the
Democrats claimed everything in the city
and Township, but as the evening progressed
the Republicans grew more hopeful, and the
Democrats began to be doubtful Att O'Clock
no Ward has been fully counted, and it is
not likely the result in the city can be ascer-
tanned definitely before morning. But
enough is known to show that the Democrats
lost and gained where least expected. Prob
ably the Democrats elect most all of the
County candidates, but part of the Legisla-
tive ticket is in doubt and the Democrats
concede loss in the County of 200 over the
fall vote. A jubilee meeting was held
in the Tabernacle to night by the w.
c. T. L. Telegraphic returns from the
State were received at intervals, and
each encouraging bulletin about the second
amendment vote received with vociferous
applause and waving of handkerchiefs. The
ladies' eyes were opened to much of the arts
and practices of Ward politicians to-day, and
their recitals OF experiences are highly
amusing. One good woman was inexpressiby
shocked. She said: lit is perfectly wonder
full how dreadful and untruthful the gentle
men are" As far as learned, no indignities
were offered the ladies at the polls anywhere,
but when the novelty of their presence wore
off little attention was paid to them by the
busy and frequently turbulent hustlers OF
both parties.
