A HORRIBLE STORY.
Hendershot Tells How He and
His Father Murdered His Mother.

His Father Murdered His Mother.
JASPER, Ind, Oct. 14.-A man who took
part in the lynching of Marion Hendershot
for the murder of his mother at Troy, Ind,
last Friday night, says that during one of the
intervals between the several suspensions
made to extort from Henderson, further
confession he was taken aside and said that
his father, mother and himself started in a
two-horse wagon for Grand View, Ind, to-
gether, and upon arriving at the barn where
the murder was committed his father pro-
posed to stop there and sleep the remainder
of the night. They all lay down on the hay,
and when his mother went to sleep his
father arose and shot her through the head
and then directed him to remove the body to
a block and cut her head off with an axe.
This he did, striking dozen blows, and not
being able to sever the neck he twisted the
head off, carried it to the thicket and threw
it as far as he could. His father assisted in
stripping the body and throwing it into the
cistern, and the bloody clothing was hidden
under a bridge near Troy. His father then
went back home and then to Tell City, where
the two met again. This occurred between
1 and O'Clock on Wednesday morning

Police Notes.

George A. Chatfeld, who has probably
been in Jail in every county in the State for
begging money from members of. secret So
cieties on the false plea that he belonged Ito
their order and was in dire need, was arrest
ed in this city yesterday for playing his old
game.
The arrests at the police office last even
ing were mainly for DRINKS, and the same
was true in regard to the Grand street pre-
einct
Charles Smith, a colored man, was arrest
ed last night about 10 o'clock for breaking
into the house of one Herman ON Cherry Ann
street. He will be tried before the City
court this morning

NEW York, Oct. 14.-There was almost a
panic in the two petroleum exchanges from a
sudden drop in prices. United Pipe Line
certificates, which were at Soc last evening,
opened to-day at $751; and before noon tum-
bled to 61115. Fear of an overstock by the
flow of the Christy well caused the excite
ment. This well is flowing at the rate of
210 barrels an hour. At Oil City, Pa, the
exchange was also in a whirl. Oil opened at
81 cents and shortly dropped to 6215

The Result in West V1rg1nia-Demo-
cratic BY a Majority Estimated at
Seven Thousand.

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 14.-The total
vote in this city to-day was 2, 300, gain of
1000 over the presidential vote of 1880. 1t
is predicted that the count will show Demo
cratic gains. The total vote of Parkersburg
is / 900 and claims are made that a Repub-
lican gain will be shown there. The count
in this city (Wheeling) will not be finished
before daylight.
9p m.-The Democrats now claim the
State by 5000 majority.
9:25-Returns from 1873 wards and pre-
cincts in West Virginia show a net Repub-
ican gain of 103, as compared with 1880,
when the Democratic majority was 16, 1876.
As compared with 1882 the gain is in favor
of the Democrats.
10 p m.-Nothing is likely to be known
tonight. Not over thirty wards and pre-
cincts have been heard from and they show
small Republican gain.
11:05 p. m.-The Register estimates the
Democratic majority at 5000.
II p. m.-The latest returns from the
State indicate that Wilson, Democrat, is
elected Governor, but it is impossible to give

The Republican National Committee
Claiming Ohio BY Fifteen Thousand

Majority.
New YORK, Oct. 14.-The city is full of
excitement over the western elections and
the bulletin boards are surrounded by eager
throngs The returns are exceedingly
meagre, however, and long intervals elapse
between the posting of bulletins. The great
est throng is in Printing House Square and
before the Herald bulletin, which is con-
structed on the style of panorama and Of
fers amusement to vast and ever changing
crowd. AS each bulletin appears the divid-
ed sentiment of the spectators sis shown
by alternate cheers for Blaine or Cleveland
that ring out on the frosty night air. Up
town the enthusiasm is not sufficiently warm
to brave the cold wind and political
discussion is carried within the palatial
halls of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and Hoffman
House. Of the two national headquarters
the more iubilant is that of the Republican
managers who are betting even money that
Ohio has gone Republican by $4,000 ma
jority.
MIDNIGHT. members of the Republi-
can National committee claim that at the
ratio of majority shown by the returns thus
far received the Republicans have carried
Ohio by fifteen thousand majority. Fifth
avenue, in front of the Republican head
quarters, is massed with people who are sing
ing Marching through Georgia" 'In the
morning by the bright light" etc, etc. The
members of the committee concede that the
Democrats have carried West Virginia, but
refuse to say anything about the majority.
At the Democratic headquarters the state
ment is made that their returns are being
held back, while those of the Republicans
are being pushed forward highly colored in
favor of Republican success. Private and
creditable dispatches from Ohio make it safe
to place the Republican majority at from 49,,
600 to is, 900.
a. NAT this hour the political fervor
is cooled and both headquarters have closed
for the night.
