Returns That Have No Significance.

Speciai the indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS Oct 9-10:30 p. M.-No returns
were received until after o'clock. They
are not yet, in themselves, significant of the
result, for they do not represent either Gin
cinnati or Cleveland, by which the Demo-
Gratis expect to carry the Legislature, nor the
rural districts, on which the Republicans
base their hopes. The estimates are made on
last years votes, when the Democrats had
$4,000 majority. There are 1919 wards
and precincts in the State.
From 129 of them, at this
hour, total vote is reported of 30,335-a net
Republican gain of 1, 100, and a prohibition
vote of 1850. These precincts, although
notably strong for prohibition, fail to give
the amendments majority, and in this re-
spect can only lay claim to significance for
at this rate the entire poll is only 2o,00o
while it will exceed that figure by at least
100000 They also leave the Republicans
still under last years Democratic majority by
about 3,000 Returns in the course of the
next hour will probably have closer bearing
on the result

The Republican Gain Not Sufficient.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, Oct 9.-Returns up to midnight
were still inadequate. They represent one
sixth of the State mainly the rural districts,
which have been coming in for the past
hour. The Republican net gain of ,65S falls
far short of the committees expectations
At this rate the Republican vote would fall
5000 short of overcoming the Democratic ma
jority. The alleged Democratic strongholds
are yet to be heard from, notably Cincinnati
and Cleveland; but, as though to upset all
official representations, the eight wards SO
far reported from those two cities record a
slight Republican net gain. The meagerness
of the returns from the large cities indicate
liberal scratching Out of total of 81 1000
votes so far reported, the prohibition amend

on a much heavier relative poll away from

Cleveland, GAINESVILLE and other points and
there was an attempt at it in some of the
Cincinnati wards. Such kilograms as bore on
this feature of the day confirmed recent
opinions that the stirring opposition of the
past week had led to widespread detection,
and that the recruits secured for the amend
ment week ago had fallen off at the polls
in large numbers.
Opinion at committee headquarters at the
closing of the polls varied widely with
regard to the State ticket, both sides claim
ing to have carried it. The impression was
common that the Democrats had secured
the Legislature, and it seemed &c be taken
for granted that the prohibition amendment
had fallen far short of a majority. There
was general scratching here, especially Of
the legislative ticket. The county is ex-
pected to go Democratic, but probably one
and possibly two of the three Democratic leg
islative candidates will escape defeat mar
rowly, if at all. Scratching was also re-
ported from Cleveland. If there has been
much of it over the State the returns will
probably reach here late, but it is expected,
unless the vote shall have been closer than
is supposed in the early evening, that the
general result will be known by minnight.
The election here was orderly, as seems to
have been the case at most places
away from the large cities.
Warnings were placed at the
precincts describing repeaters who were
known to be in town, and the police, by
watching several suspicious groups of men
all day, prevented their getting in crooked
work. If repeating schemes here have sue
ceeded, they have been very cleverly man
aged. Reports of repeating from Cincinnati
charge heavy work on both parties and
many arrests. The gambling-houses here
had agents at nearly all the polling-places
offering two to one on Foraker's election.
There were but few takers.

succeeded in making the Partisan cab

Detectives and Crime In Paris.

Il few years ago. when the Bank of
England informed the city of New York
that Macdonald, the forger, had brlbed
Central Office detectives to aid him to
escape from justice, the London press
gave thanks that Scotland Yard was not
as Mulberry street, and Paris newspa-
pers boosted of the faithfulness and ef-
ficiency of the French detective force.
But since then it. has been discovered that
eternal vigilance is essential to the pre-
vention of corruption in a city's police
service, and detective scandals have
shocked both London and Paris. There
is at present much excitement in the
latter city over the Palais Royal murder
and robbery, the perpetrators of which
crimes have been arrested in Belgium

Ancient New Haven Fanaticism.

A more horrible instance of human
sacrifice lives in the annals of New Ha-
ven, where, in 1855, was small sect of
fanatics-the Wakemanites, so called
from their prophecies, Mrs. Rhoda
Wakeman, a woman of seventy. She
had convinced her followers-respect-
able farmers and farmers wives living
in the outskirts of the city-that thirty
years before che haA been killed by her
husband and received into heaven, where
she had remained seven hours. being
finally sent back to earth by God to pre-
pare the way for the SECOND advent of
Christ. Among the followers was one
Justus Matthews, who, having been ir-
regular in attending the prayer meetings
of the sect, was declared by the proph-
etess to be the imam of SIM"
mentioned in the scripture. The evil
spirit which possessed Mathews was,
she said, very annoying to her; not only
did it hinder the coming of Christ. but it
might cause her death, and so bring on
Immediately the judgment of all man
kind, without any millennium at all.
Matthews himself, became convinced of
the truth of this and avowed his willing

the removal of the fiend. On the eve.
ming of Sunday, December %, he went
to Mrs. Wakeman's house, where were
gathered most of the fanatics, including
his sister, Mrs. Wakeman's half brotiler,
Samuel Sly, and Miss Hersey. While a
prayer meeting was held in the upper
story Matthews was placed in room on
the ground floor, where fire
was built for his comfort, his sister
blind folding his eyes and tying his
hands behind him, From 8 o'clock till
l in the morning he remained in that
condition, while the others occupied
themselves in prayer, visiting him from
time to time and pleading with him to
renounce the evil spirit. Finally they
persuaded him of the necessity for sac
rificing him, and Sly going into the room
where he was sitting, Drained him with
q club of hazel wood, which he had pro-
cured as possessing singular efficacy
against evil spirits, cut his throat and
jabbed dozen holes in his abdomen
with common dinner-fork in order to
let out the fiend. Miss Her.ey helped
him to wash the blood from his clothing
and to hide the club and knife: then
they joined their fellow-disciples in
prayer: Sly was convicted of murder
and the woman as an accessory,
but his sentence was committed
and he died in prison some years ago.
According to Sly, the power of all de-
parted spirits since the fall of man was
concentrated in one Amos Hunt, upon
whose death the millennium would
come in the twinkling of an eye. Hunt
is now practicing clairvoyant in Con-
necticut, and figured in the Mary STAN
nard murder case. On New Years day,
1856. more terrible tragedy was wrought
by another Observation-Disclosures San

Drained and decapitated an old farmer

politician. He was convicted, but died
in prison. of small pox. Several of the
Wakemanites still live at New Haven.

Eggs as Food.
Eggs at average prices. are among the

Eggs at average prices, are among the
cheapest and most nutritious articles Of
diet. Like milk, an egg Is complete
food in itself, containing everything that
is necessary for the development of a
perfect animal, az is manifest from the
fact that chick is formed from it. 1t
seems mystery how muscles, bones,
feathers, and everything that chicken
requires for its perfect development are
made from the yolk and white ofan egg;
but such is the fact, and it shows how
complete a food an egg is. IT is also
easily digested, if not damaged in cook
ing. Indeed, there is no more concen-
trated and nourishing food than eggs.
The albumen oil, and saline matter, are,
as in milk, in the right proportion for
sustaining animal life. Two or three
boiled eggs, with the addition of q slice
or two OF toast, WILL make q breakfast tor
man, and good enough for king.
According to DR.. Edward Smith, in his
treatise on "Food," an egg weighing an
ounce and three-quarters contains 12O
grains of carbon and per cent. of nitro
gen. The value of one pound of egg, as
food for sustaining the active forces of
the body. is to the value of one pound
of lean beef as l 5S4 to 900. AS a flesh
producer, one pound of egg is about
equal to one pound of beef.
A Hen may be calculated to consume
one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay ten
dozen or fifteen pounds Of eggs. This is
equivalent to saying that three and one
tenth pounds of corn will produce, when
fed to hen, five ixths of pound of
eggs; bnt tive-sixths OF a pound of pork
require about five pounds of corn foI its
production. Taking into account the
nutriment in each and the comparative
prices of the two on an average, the
pork is about three times as costly a
food as the eggs, while it is certainly
less healthful.-Boston Journal of Chem
istry.
