THE FLORIDA ELECTION.
The Frauds Whereby 1t Was Stolen from the
Republicans.

Washington Special to Boston journal,
The Florida newspapers have asked the Jour
nal to give some details as to the frauds in the
election in that State and to name some respon-
sible person who makes such charges. Here is
the name of one-Colonel Bisbee, representative
in Congress from that State. The result of the
election in Florida was surprise to a great
many Republicans, who thought there was a
chance of carrying that State. Representative
Bishee, who was defeated for reelection in the
Second district to-day gave a partial ex
PLANTATION of the Republican defeat In the
first place. he said, the Democrats were we'll
provided with money, which they used and spent
wherever they thought it's influence would be
potent Wherever they thought it necessary to
stuff ballot boxes or indulge in fraudulen count
ing and returns they did so, They were stirred
to unusual activity by the fear that the Legisa
ture, which is to eject successor to Senator
Call might turn out to be Republican, or at
least anti Bourbon. Every effort was therefore
put forth TO save the Legislature, and these
efforts aided the Democratic national ticket In
the First congressional district, Col. Bisbee
says, gross frauds were committed in many of
the counties. For example: Ex-Governor
Stearns was a candidate for the Legislature in
Gladsden county, which is Republican by about
800 majority, and yet his Democratic opponent
was declared elected by large majority. In the
Quincy precinct where both Stearns and
of ballots in the ballot box after the
election exceeded by 143 the number of
names on the poll book. In three large Repub
ican precincts in Madison county, in Bisbees
district the ballot boxes, ballots and tally sheets
were forcibly seized and carried off while the
election officers were engaged IN canvassing the
votes The election in these precincts had
passed off quietly, and there was no animation
Of danger, when. about the same hour, squads of
mounted men, armed and disguised, dashed up
to the polling places in the three precincts men
toned firing pistols and causing terror. They
dispersed the election officers, seized the ballot
boxes and all other evidences that an election
had taken place, and disappeared Neither the
ballot boxes nor ballots have been recovered, and
no arrests were made. This raid Bsbee says
cost him about 500 majority in the three pre-
cincts. The Democrats have twentysix major
ity on joint ballot in the Legislature, and Bisbee
says there is no doubt that Senator Call will be
his own successor

FROM BARREN LANDS.

Cur lives have held too many bounties, and
In spite Of fate's bestowing,
To-day we do not hold within the hand
Anghr that IL worth the showing.
We know that daily farther do we stray
From gold that waits the mining
Thst still more distant from our feet to-day
The mountain heights are shining.
Too many times we've drained loves 50.
cred wine
Sad truth the heart discioses;
Zoo many times your careless feet and
mine
Have trodden down the roses.
'Tis he for whom loves cup but once is
Who knows its utter sweetness;
who plucks single rose is longest thrilled
With fits divine completeness.
IT'S oft the empty hand that offereth
The tostliest sacrifices;
IT'S out Of some despised Nazareth
The living light arises.
Not for our sowing do the fruitful days
Scatter their bloom before us:
1T is not happy, careless lips that raise
The hallelu1sh chorus.
But, 10! the glad earth oft from sterile sol,
Sees fadeless flowers upspringing,
And hears from smileless lips, mid want
and toll,
The deathless anthem ringing.

Strange Lapses Into Insanity.

BunalO Dispatch.
A man named Thomas Edmundson,
of Nebraska, was arrested in this city
on charge of insanity. He was on
his way to Europe, and on leaving his
home in Nebraska was believed to be
perfectly sane. When he reached Phil
adelphia he acted in such q strange
manner that he was set down as a
crank. He sold his steamship ticket
for trife, purchased several railroad
tickets for different points west and
south, and finally brought up in Buffa-
10, where he was arrested in an almost
destitute condition. On being exam
med by the police surgeon he was pro-
uounced insane and at once committed
to the state asylum, where he now re-
mains. The authorities communicated
with his family, and after some CORES
pondence Edmundson's brother agreed
to come down and take him back. A
few days ago letter was received from
Edmundson's brother saying that he
would be here on Tuesday to take him
home. Yesterday the brother arrived
and presented himself at the Office Of
the superintendent of the poor. The
stranger had not been in the Office five
minutes before the officials realized
that they had another maniac to deal
with. The unfortunate man was i'm
mediately placed under arrest. 1t is
not known at present whether he be.
came insane on the trip from Nebraska
or not.

paid. Report is to be made by the
first day of the adjourned term of the
court.
This action has its origin in the cele-
brated Knevals land cases, which have
had so. much prominence of late. Van
Wyck made entry on certain tracts in
'Thayer county the titles to which at the
time were supposed to be in the gov
eminent. Knevals, however, succeed
ed in establishing his ownership under
the old St. Joe railroad grant, and the
United States supreme court issued q
decree affirming it. Van Wyck now
comes forward with claim for reim-
bursement of moneys expended upon
the premises, as stated above, his prin-
-cipal point being that he has received
no income whatever from the proper
ty, and that all sums laid out upon it
accrue to the benefit of Knevals. The
action is in the nature of test, and
the decision finally reached will affect
hundreds of settlers in that region.

An Inscription for His Own Tombstone.

The following inscription will be
placed on Charles Reade's tombstone.
1t was written by himself:
Here Lie
By the Side of his Beloved Friend, the
Mortal Remains of
CHARLES READE,
Dramatist, Novelist and Journalist.
His Last Words to Mankind are on
this Stone.
I hope for resurrection, not from any
power in nature, but from the will of
the Lord God Omnipotent, who made
nature and me. He created man out
of nothing, which nature could not.
He can restore man from the dust,
which nature cannot. And hope for
holiness and happiness in a future, life
not from anything have said or done
in this body, bat rom the merits and
mediation of Jesus Christ. He has
promised His intercession to all who
seek it, and He will not break His
word; that intercession, once granted,
cannot be rejected; for He is God, and
His merits infinite; mans sins are
but human and finite. "Him that
,cometh to me I will in no wise cast
OUT "It any man sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the Righteous, and He is the propitia-
ton for our SINS"

The Cost of Bachelor Life.

An unmarried man can spend very
snug little fortune in New York with
out dissipating to any large extent.
Surprising he takes small suite of
rooms in a fashionable apartment
house, eats at the club, keeps road
horse and wagon and gives half a
dozen parties in year. At this rate
his rent will cost him 81 800, his meals
at the club or fashionable restaurant
about 1000, his horses board and his
club dues about 81, 900 more, his en-
tertainment an additional $500 and
that makes total of $1,000. Throw
ing in thousand for clothes and sun
dries and thousand more for losses at
cards, it will be seen that bachelor
can live in comparative comfort in New
York for $4,000 year. Of course it
is to be presumed that he has furnished
his rooms, bought his horse and wagon
and paid the imitation at his club be-
fore these expenditures begin. This is
much less expensive than it would be
if a married man attempted to live in a
corresponding style. As rule, mans
expenses, if he be of any social promi-
nence, are enormously increased after
marriage rather than diminished.

lures Of tho Grant Trio.

New York World.
Frederick Grant is q young man of
stout build and forid complexion, about
IS years old and bears q striking like
ness to his father, exp President Grant.
He was educated at West Point and
served in the regular army, chiefly out
west, for some years, reaching the rank
of colonel. Soon after his marriage to
MISS Honore, of Chicago, sister-in-
law of Potter Palmer, some five years
ago, he resigned his commission and
taking up his residence in New York,
went into business. He and his wife
have lived very luxuriOusly and have
entertained considerably, giving many
handsome dinner parties.
Ulysses Grant, Jr., is the second son
of the ex-president, and is about thirty
two years old. He studied law, and
was for some years connected with the
firm of Work, Davies, McNamee &
Hilton. He left soon after his marriage
with wealthy western girl some three
years ago. 1t has always been sup
posed that his marriage brought him
sufficient increase to fortune to enable
him to abandon the law and become
partner in the firm of Grant & Ward.
He is rather short in build, of ford
complexion like his brother, and wears
a becoming brown moustache. Before
his marriage he was very fond of socie-
ty, but since then has lived rather
quietly, although he and his wife have
given several handsome dinners and
entertainme nts.
Jesse Grant Is about 81 years old, and
has always been considered General
Grants and his wife's favorite son. He
assemblies his brothers in general ap-
arance, but is slighter and much
unger-looking. General Grant was

THE KNEvAL'S LAND CASES.
senator Van Wyck's Claim for Moneys
Expended Refused by Judge Brewer.

Omaha Herald.
The case of Knevals VS.. Van Wyck,
concerning the ownership of property
in Thayer county, came up in the
United States circuit court last week,
on the application of the defendant for
the allowance of the money paid for
taxes, and also the purchase price of
the land in question. Yesterday an
order was received from Judge Brewer,
who heard the arguments of counsel on
both sides, stating that Van Wyck is
not entitled to be reimbursed for money
paid by him upon the purchase of the
premises from the government, and
that his claim for money paid for taxes
is not within the statutes of Nebraska
in force when the decree was render
ed, and that the present statute is in
applicable to the case, it having gone
into decree before the statute was en-
acted. The Judge, however, having
some doubts about the rule of equity
for the reimbursing of unsuccessful
claimants of property of the money
paid them, extending to taxes when no
rents and profits are realized, orders
that the matter be referred to Mr.. j.

PLAYING The GAMBLER.
Incident of the ceur d'Alene Mines.

Amid the general din of the saloon,
and rising above the genera confusion,
the click of glasses against bottles, and
the tinkling sound of ivory chips, may
be heard the words s'queen high"
sspair kings" 'sbet two beans," and
the like, uttered in a soft but pene-
trating voice, which attracts one upon
entering the door. Making my way to
a corner of the room, and elbowing q
path cautiously through pack of men,
1 saw remarkable sight. Before one
of the ordinary poker tables sat a wo-
man of no ordinary beauty. The
traces of refinement had not yet been
obliterated by coarse associations and
reckless dissipation. She was dressed
in a tight-6tting gown, fitting about the
bust like the waist of riding-habit and
adorned with double row of staring
gilt buttons. On her head was q
jaunty jockey cap of blue, but its little
visor shading a face whose delicate
lines and marked individuality would
in any other place have secured for its
possessor Immediate notice as cult
waited, intellectual power. Yet there
she sat, dealing the cards with grace
full ease born evidently of long prac-
tice in similar scenes. Careless of the
rough talk and ribald jokes of the men
the female gambler dealt the cards,
raked in the chips, paid losses, replied
to the sallies of the men, and attended
to the business with a devilish insouci-
ance and calmness which was simply
horrible. A more painful sight l never
saw, for there was refinement OF
wickedness about the scene which rob-
bed it of the vileness of the slums and
invested that woman in the corner of q
mining camp gambling house with a
horror which was simply satanical.
