Geo. Butler, q wealthy physician Of
Columbus, Ohio, was executed
at Columbia City. Indiana
to-day for the murder of Abbie Butler,
his young wife, at Princeton, Ind, Sept.

he was incarcerated In jail at Columbus
City to await his trial. During
his confinement In Jail he
succeeded in effecting his escape and for
some days was at liberty, but was sub
sequently recaptured. His trial occu-
pied nearly a month, and all that wealth
and influence could do was done to save
him from the gallows, but with no avail.
Two hundred and fifty people witnessed
the execution. Immense crowds sur
rounded the jail. Everything passed
off peacefully, and the common verdict
is. "Butler died game"

him of chief clerk in the bureau of labor

Thoroughly awake IN Ohio.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. e.-There were
a few people At the depot in. Mansfield.
Several Thousand assembled In The square
% which Mr. Blaine wa escortsd In the
usual way. Mr. HedgeE the Republican
candidate Tor congress, having intro
dHcea him g he pext president of the
Unlted States, Ar. Blaine said obieck
to introducing me- that way. We Will
talk about that next. But see good su-
guries for Tuesday, In sthe fact that the
people Of Ohio seam TO be thoroughly
aroused. ECheers. In all my political
Iexperience have never seen the peo-
pie more thoroughly awake TO
Skeir duty than the people of Ohio seem
TO be At this tune. Your duty In this
campaign is exceptionally important.
You are to vote next Tuesday,, not only
for yourselves but for the whole United
States. You are to set the mark for the
Republican high tide. [Cheers. 1
confess have great confidence IN the
vote in Ohio, for since The election Of
Salmon p. Chase as governor of your
state in 1856, l have meyer known year
when Ohio was aroused that she did not
give q Republican majority. ICheers l
You have never had before you
q more distinct issue than You
have this year. As the contest grows
serious they begin to eliminate the in
cIdental points, and finally as the par.
ties converge and come face to face
there is as always one great oyershad-
owing issue that contracts the multi
tude of voters. / assume that issue the
present year is the protective tariff, and
/ am sure there is not state in the
Union that has profited more under the
protective system or that is mere deeply
interested in its maintenance than Ohio
ECheers.1 do not stop
to argue other question. /
do not stop even 70 dwell for g mo-
ment on the achievements of the Repub-
lican party or what it has done for the
Union, for the cause Of free government,
for the cause of human liberty. do not
dwell on these because do not choose
10 divert your minds even for g moment
from the one overpoWering aud over
Whelming issue that should engage
your whole attention until after Tuesday
next. [Cheers.J
In view of the great demonstration
here last week the understanding was
there should be none on this occasion,
but there was quite large crowd in the
depot awaiting the arrival of the train,
who pressed around Mr.. Blaine and
cheered at him as he passed. he en-
te.ed a carriage and tried 20 drive quiet
IL to the house of his cousin, Mr. Miller,
but body of young Republicans bear
ing torches insisted on escorting him in
the usual noisy manner. Mr.. Blaine
will spend the night at his. cousins
house, and will go tomorrow through
the Sciota valleE to Lancaster.

Without speculating as to the result
in these 1t may be summed up briefly
that Blaine can be elected without New
York, by carrying Ohio, Indiana and
Connecticut, or Ohio, Connecticut, West
Virginia and either Louisiana or South
Carolina; but Cleveland cannot by any
possibility be elected without New York,
for to do so he would have to carry not
only the solid south, but every one of the
doubtful states except New York, and
nobody is foolish enough to believe he
can do that. Even If Ohio and Indiana
should both go Democratic it would not
be sufficient by ten votes to accomplish
Cleveland's election, and 1t would still
be necessary for him to get New Jersey
and some one other northern stats in
order to spare New York-whereas if
Blaine carries New York he will have
only SIX msre votes to obtain out of a
doubtful list of nfIy-three to make him
president; and Blaine has quite as good
a chance as Cleveland to carry New
VOrE

A GENERAL CHANGE.
The Union Pacific Superintendent
Assigned to New Stations.
Supt. Dickinson is Promoted and
Goes to Denver.
Doddrige Resigns, WurteIle Goes to
Laramie, Deuel. Remains Here.

General and important changes have
been ordered and will soon go into effect
along the line of the Union Pacific. The
changes will interest all railroad men and
the people generally and also show that
the new managers have decided to make
sweeping alterations in the snb-manage-
ment of the road.
Under the new order of things Super
intendent Ed Dickinson, now stationed at
Laramie City, has been appointed Assist
ant General Superintendent of all Of the
Union Pacific systems, with headquarters
at Denver, and practically succeeding A.
A. Egbert. The roads West of Chey-
enne and all of the Colorado systems will,
under the new order of things, report to
him at Denver. Mr.. Dickinson will leave
Laramie City next Tuesday and will i'm
mediately assume the duties of his new
position at Denver.
Mr.. o. H. Torrance. Of the Kansas
Pacific division has been appointed Super
intcndent of the Nebraska division, with
headquarters at Omaha. He succeeds P.
J. Nichols, who will probably be assigned
to some important office.
Superintendent J. L. Wurtelle, now
stationed at Evanston, will be transferred
to Laramie City, where he will have
charge of the Laramie division rice Sup
erintendent Dickinson.
Mr.. George Dickinson, chief train dis
patcher of the Bridge division at Omaha,
has been promoted Superintendent of the
Western division, with headquarters at
Evanston, rice Superintendent Wurtelle.
w. B. Doddridge. General Superin-
tendent at Ogden, in charge of the Utah
Northern and Oregon Short Line, has re-
signed and will engage in mining enter
prises.
Superintendent W. A. deuel., located
in Cheyenne, escapes the general disturb
ance ofthe former management, and will
remain in this city as superintendent of
this division, an arrangement that will be
most acceptable to the people ofCheyenne
and the employees of the road.

RETARpEp
Ihe Outside Vote stm Unknown and
the sheriHalty Undecided.

Nothing accurate can be learned from
the outside precincts in this county. Re
ports OF the vote for individual candidates
have been received from time to time but
me entire vote Of the respective precincts
cannot be accurately given. 1t is there
fore deemed best to withhold unofficial
reports and mere rumors. The County
commissioners will canvass the vote dur
ing the week and then the result can be
officially announced.
Among the remote voting places yet to
be heard from are several which it is 0 n
coded will give Democratic majorities and
the heretofore doubtful election of a few
ofthe candidates is now considered almost
certain.
Messrs. Tompkins, Miller and Mitchell
will probably be elected to the House
from the Democratic ticket and their
election will give the Democrats three
members u of the eight from this
county. The representation from other
counties will be about evenly divided be-
tween the Democrats and Republicans,
but the actual political temperament of
the House cannot now be stated. In the
Council the Republicans will have a slight
majority.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the election ofthe Sheriff for this county.
The vote will undoubtedly be a close one,
but it is believed Mr.. Craig has obtained
4 safe majority. Unofficial reports
received las, night give Mr.. Schnit-
ger a majority so small that it really cuts
no important figure. Like the President
ial election. the election of either candi
date cannot be positively decided until
after the official canvass.

Is without doubt the finest amusement
as well as the most beneficial exercise that
can be INDUCED in, and combines more
merit with less that is Objectionable than
perhaps any other amusement in the cate
CORY. The ease with which the skaters
glide over the polished rink, apparently
without an effort, marks the accomplish
ment as affording most graceful display (;
the action and exhilerating motion is most
beneficial exercise to all the muscles and
develops and strengthens everyone who
spends any time at the amusement.
While the art looks extremely difficult of
accomplishment yet the most awkward
novice soon acquires confidence, and with
the exception of perhaps a few tumbles
glides along with as much pleasure and
enjoyment as though the mode of locomo-
ton as one with which nature had en-
dowed him.
The rink just fitted up by Mr.. Keefe, on
Ferguson street, is rapidly gaining in pop
ular favor. During the past week two
professionals, W. D. Ament and Miss
Tottie Nicholson, of Muscatins, Iowa,
have delighted large audiences with an
exhibition Of fancy skating, and have af-
forded pleasure to very many visitors.
While the amusement is growing in favor
Mr.. Keefe is making every effort to con-
duct the rink in such a manner as to make
its popularity permanent and there is
no doubt he is succeeding.
