The Last Hope OF the Republicans Lies

NEW YORK, November s.-The result OF

ties. While the Democrats and the or
gans which have advocated Clcvcands
election declare that the latter is un.
doubtcdly elected, the Republican Com.
mittee and Blaine organs are equally sure
that Blaine has plurality, and that the of
fetal count will show the latter to be the
case. Charges Of fraud are made on both
sides, and it looks now as if the courts
would have TO pass on some OF these al.
legged fraudulent acts and determine
whether the districts In which it Is said
they have been committed shall be thrown
out. Leading Democrats profess to have

1t, dreading to look up through its groves
and lawns for fear Of seeing some spirit
Of evil.
This fear has increased since the last
tragic event connected with the place
the death Of its mistress, Miss Carrie j.
Welton, who was frozen to death on
Pixies Peak, Colorado. The house was
tirst built by wealthy manufacturer by.
the name Of ScOVllle. Mr.. SCOVille's sec
ond marriage was unfortunate, his wife
being much addicted to strong drink.
Unable to remain in his elegant mansion
with her, he unceremoniouslv departed.
and soon died, a broken down man. The
property then passed into the hands Of
Joseph @. WeltOn, president of the
Waterbury Brass Company, and con-
nected with about all the misunderstanding
interests here. One night, on returning
from New York, Mr.. WeltOn heard a COM
motion in the barn. Going thitheF, he
found two of his horses loose, and he
went into the stall to separate them.
His favorite horse kicked him in the
breast, iniiCting wounds from which he
soon died, leaving no viii.
The estate was divided between his
wife and only daughter, Carrie, the
house going to the wife. Amity ruled
until the mother tried to get the daugh-
ter into an insane asylum. The house
hold was then again broken up and the
house was left to ghosts. One of the
many. freaks of the sprites is the be-
smirching of the dOOr-knOb Of the best
chamber with q substance like coagulated
blood, which reappears every morning
after being wiped off Several families
have attempted TO reside there since the
Weltons left, but soon gave it up, al
though not publicly assigning any rea-
sons therefor. Mrs. Weiton had re-
turned to the mansion before going to
Europe, and the furnishings there now
belong to her, but the house is closed
and wears a fOrbidding look. Ali sorts
of stories are IN circulation now about
the mansion, one of which was that the
daughter had been seen in the yard on
horseback at midnight.
Although the property was put in the
market at a low figure 1t was impossible
to sell it, as it is believed that curse rests
upon it. Miss WeltOn's friends here
think that the evidence that the guide
abandoned her on the mountain is very
strong, and they wish to have the case
thoroughly Investigated. They do not
believe that she was killed for her
money, as she never carried more than
was necessary, but they ask how they
knew at Lambs house that she was dead
when they told the liveryman so before
her body arrived. The news will be
hard for the mother when she steps from
the steamer in New York, for she has
done all in her power to become recon
ciled with her child and live amiCably;
but the daughter had no faith in her
promises, and feared that she might be
entTapped into an Insane asylum.
