The Zura Burns Case.

LINCOLN, ILL.,, Nov. 5.
The preliminary examination of o. A.
Carpenter, charged with the murder of
Aura Burns, commenced here to-day, Judge
Lyman Lacy presiding. The testimony
OF Mrs. Fanny Dukes, sister of the muir.
dered girl, and Mrs. Rebecca A. Carpenter,
OF Decatur, tended to establish the fact OF
an intimacy existing between Carpenter
and Miss Burns. The defense is in able
hands and it is hardly thought that the
State will be able to make out case sun.
GENTLY strong to hold Carpenter without
pan, snougn there is every probability that
he will be placed under bonds to await the
action OF the Grand Jury. There is strong
current OF public sentiment against the ac.-
cused, with threats Of lynching.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.
At this hour, midnight, it is impossible to
give accurate figures of the result of the cleo
ton. 1t has been very quiet day here in the
city, with good weather and a fair vote. The
best figuring and estimating shows that the
Democratic State ticket has a majority in the
city of 5000 or $1,000, save Maynard. the head
of the ticket, who runs from 10000 to Ii. 600 be-
hind. He runs behind in all the large cities,
thanks to the combined efforts of the CathO-
lies and liquor men, who fought him savagely.
1t is probable that the Democratic State ticket
is elected by 10000 or $4,000. barring Maynard
who will probably squeeze through with 4,oU
or 5000 majority.
1t is very probable that the Assembly is Re-
publican, though it can not be said certainly.
The ma Ority either way will be small. The
Senate will be Republican decidedly-D to II

DENVER, COL, Nov g.
Ex-senator Chaffee won a notable triumph
over his rival, Senator Hill, to-day. The en-
tire Republican ticket in this county is elected
by majorities ranging from 200 to LOCO The
fight centered on Sheriff. Graham, the success
full candidate was selected to make the race
by Mr.. Chaffee, who backed him with great
ability and plenty of money. Senator Hill s
organ. the Denver Republican,. openly bolted
the nomination of Graham and did everything
in its power to defeat him. 1t is
reported, and generally believed, that
Senator Hill spent several thousand dollars
to compass Grahams defeat, for
the sake of downing Chaffee. Hills friends
bet $4,000 on Monday. night that Shackelford,
the Democratic nominee, would be elected.
Chaffee took all their bets and offered to take
$25 600 more the same way. He used the
money he bet to buy Democratic votes, and he
succeeded SO well that the heaviest majorities
cast for Graham were in strongly Democratic
wards 1t is generally understood here to-
night that this victory makes Chaffee again
what he was for so many years, the leader of
the Republican party in Colorado and the
next United States Senator from this State.

BOSTON, NOV. q.
The State election to-day has been imp. oco
denied in intensity of feeling, immensely of
vote polled and enthusiasm over the result,
which is substantial Republican victory.
Before the election the Republicans estimated
that the total vote would be 295,0C0, 1900
larger than that cast in 1880, which the
heaviest polled They claimed $4,000 for Con-
gresham Robinson, Republican candidate for
Governor, and conceded 10000 to Governor
Butler, a gain of 6 900 over his vote last year.
The Democrats thought the vote would not
exceed 2s3; 900 and claimed 10000 for Butler
Returns up to midnight show that the total
vote exceeds the widest imaginations of
either party. Two hundred and thirty three
cities and towns, including Boston complete,
give Robinson 1887 and Butler II, 35S.
Those same places last year gaze Butler u.s.
continued throughout the State make the total
vote 100000, of which Robinson gets 10000 and
Butler 10000, showing gain for Butler over
last year Of twelve per cent. and gain for the
Republicans of % per cent The towns yet to
be heard from are, however, mainly Republic
majority for Robinson to Is 900 or 200, which
the Republicans now claim.
The balance of the Republican State ticket
is elected by majorities ranging probably
from 80 100 to 10000. The Republicans have
also elected Council at least eight-tenths Re-
Senate, and have increased their majority in
the lower branch of the Legislature.
The exc excitement all day t, has been at fever
during or since the war, been so thoroughly
aroused Or in earnest. 1t has been a super
human attempt on the part of the Butler party
to fasten their grip on the States patronage
and place Butler in line for the Presidency.
On the other hand, Buffers opponents have
arisen in their might.

cities, with thirteen to hear from, give Robin
