the other drew a knife, saying: IN

and was in the act of climbing into the
buggy, when Mr.. Hess drew a revolver
and fired two shots at him. by this
time the tramp who held the horse had
fed in the woods, leaving his c0mpan-

piled the whip on his horse and made
his escape. He says he is not sure
whether any of the shots fired took ef-

The Description of Last Weeks Election
Jubilee-The Procession.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
COLORADO, November 10.-There
has been scarcely any business done
here during last week, the all engross
ing theme being politics. Crowds
have blocked up the entrance to the
telegraph Office since Tuesday evening
eagerly bending forward to catch the
first election news that was conclus-
i've. The news of Cleveland having
carried New York and Brooklyn, re-
ceived Wednesday morning at 2
o'clock, was hailed by the firing of
anvils till day break, and every other
manifestation of joy that such great
victory could elicit. The COW boy and
shepherd left their ranches to partici-
pate in this great democratic rejoicing.
The climax was reached Saturday
night in grand ratification Jubilee.
The news of Cleveland's success in
New York and other doubtful states
was considered sufficiently conclusive,
and extensive preparations were made
for magnificent street parade. At
half past hit the procession formed
III front of the Clipper Office, whence
it began its march up Second street.
The streets on the line of march were
thronged with spectators, wav-
ing their hats and handkerchiefs
and shouting themselves hoarse
The procession was altogether on9
mile in length. At its head rode the
marshal, followed by 200 mounted
men; then came citizens on foot with
torch lights. Japanese lanterns and
transparencies,G 2a which latter was the

of Oak and Second streets, where the
line at last halted. The crowd became
perfectly wild with enthusiasm, amid
the cheering of the multitude, the
bursting of rockets and the boom of
anvils, Judge Edwards arose to adj
dress the assemblage. He was follow
ed by Dr.. Robertson and s. B.
Coleman. Loud and deafening was
the applause given them. The DEM

NEW YORK PAPERS.

What Leading Dailies Say of the Situation.
New YORK, November 8.--The
Commercial Advertiser says this
afternoon: 1t seems generally agreed
to-day by law abiding citizens that the
official vote must be awaited before
the question who carries New York
can be settled. There was no DISPOSE
ton on the part of republicans to
deny the claims advanced by the
democrats. The republicans position
was thus simply stated: The largest
vote ever cast in New York has been
polled, 1t exceeds 100000. Out of
this immense number of ballots de-
posted in thousands of boxes in sixty
COMMITTEES of the state it is contended
that plurality of less than 800 votes
has been given. Mr.. Blaine's friends
do not claim an excess of that figure,
nor do Mr.. Cleveland's. The question
is who received this plurality. Thus
far insufficient figures have failed to
satisfactorily demonstrate it. Both
sides have insisted that the other was
beaten, and the great body of
people will have none of such
decisions The question must go
to the body that has been legally con-
stituted for just such purpose, and
happily that body is one in which
every fair and reasonable man has the
profoundest confidence. This is the
situation to-day. and it is one that
will be maintained until the question
is settled in an official manner, and to
that no objection can be made by any
man who has the welfare of his
country at heart. Up to one o'clock
to-day there has been 10 change in
the vote of the state, as reported IN
the morning papers 1t then stood
with Cleveland a majority of l, AGO.

DALLAS ILLUMINATED.

Tremendous Demonstration-10,O 1000 Men
Parading the Streets.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
DALLAS, November IA political
pandemonium has reigned here since
Wednesday morning, when Cleyeland's
election was first announced. At No
time since has quiet been restored.
From LOO to 10000 men have been
parading the streets almost constant
ly, and there has been continuous
uproar. 1t is at this hour in phrensy
OF good natured excitement. A pro-
cessiOn three miles III length is now
passing, bearing torches, Transparent
cies, and every conceivable dev &c.
such as chickens on rods, broC ms
and placards bearing popular le-
gends. The air is filled with
fire works of every sort ever made by
Yankee or Cinnamon. The negroes
have joined with the whites in the
grand demonstration. iGhe houses are
brilliant with ornamental gas jets,
blazing and Chinese lanterns are as
thick as autumn leaves. Texas never
before witnessed such scenes. 1t is
truly a night to be remembered. An
adverse move was made, few forged
dispatches denying Cleveland's cleo
ton were formulated by radicals and
uttered in a vain attempt to chill
democratic ardor. But the cannons
and anvils doomed oD, the torches
burned the brighter, the cheers were
the louder and overhead the stars
twinkled in merry accord with the
jubilee below The scene tonight is
indescribabl ,lil appears as if the end
of the carniv,i begun on Wednesday
would never come.

AT Nashville.

NASHVILLE, November 8.-Two
hundred and nineteen guns were fired
at noon in token OF Cleveland's cleo
ton. Tonight monster mass meet
ing was held on the public square,
where 10000 people Of all ages, sex
and color assembled in the light of
two great bonfres, and rmid the firing
of rockets and cannon. A great torch
light procession for next Saturday
night is announced under the aus
pices of the business men of the city.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the mass meeting on the
public square.

The Old Roman Happy-Interest Center
ing in New York.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 8.-The
excitement over the result in Indiana
ceased to-day, and all centers now up
on New York. The bulletin boards
have been surrounded all day, and the
republicans were somewhat inclined
to give up the contest, but many still
pin their faith in success upon the
official count, and shouts for Blaine
are almost as PRONOUNCED as those for
Cleveland.
Gov. Hendricks has received great
many congratuiatiory' kilograms to-
day, and has been busily engaged in
receiving and entertaining callers,
among whom were many republicans,
personal friends, and the Associated
Press reporter found him this evening
in conversation with number of pol
iticians : Senator VOORHEES, among
them. He was in an apparently hap
Ply frame of mind, expressing himself
as satisfied that the democratic candi-
dates had been elected. He had nothing
to adj to what has already been ex-
pressed by him for the past day or
two, respecting the election. The ex-
citement of the last three days is be-
ginning to tell on the people and the
crowd on the streets tonight is much
less demonstrative. No bulletins were
displayed and affairs are beginning to
resume their mormol condition.

SAN MARCOS.
Two Nights of Joy over Cleveland and
Hendricks-The Torchlight Pro-

cession.
SAN MARCOS, November 10.-The
San Marcos democrats have given two
nights to rejoicing over the election OF
Cleveland and Hendricks.
The demonstration on Saturday
night was especially enthusiastic,
being participated in by our entire
people, even the republican onlookers
seemed to epjoy the fun, only giving
a vince now and then that the end
was not yet, and it might be that
Monday night would be the time to
howl.

play of hrew orkS we're entirely i'm
prompGu and very credltable. The
banners and transparencies all having
appropriate notices. "Blaine's letters
We're not burnt; "an honest admins
tration should fear no investigation;

and will prevail" Hung high above
the rest was a large portrait of Gov.
Cleveland, with the words "Our
Chief" One hundred and three guns
were fired, special salutes being given
to Cleveland and Hendricks, and to
Hubbard for the brilliant canvass he
has made, so cred1table to his state
and so successful for his party.
Speeches were made by T. H. Frank
lin, Esq, Judge E. r. Kone and Hon.
J. V. Hutchins, full of patriotism and
democratic sentiment. These gentle
men were greeted with round after
round of cheers and the democratic
love feast was complete. There was
a loud call for E. p. Reynolds, but as
he had been so enthusiastic the last
few days that he had made himself
coarse he could only wave his hat and
whisper, "Hurrah for Cleveland !"
Grover Cleveland's declaration, Il,
have been elected and will be seated
as president of the United States" has
dispelled all fears of his election, and
we look forward to his Inauguration
as closing the period of republican adj
mInistration and misrule, and dating
an era of honest administration for
the whole people.
Bel it said to the honor of our COM
munity and the democratic party that
these gala nights were unmarried by a
single case of drunkenness, and the
democrats have been magnanimous in
triumph and no i'll feeling has been
manifested toward our fellow political
foes. Goodbye republican party
Long live the democratic party!!

A CLOSE CALL.
A Frightful Collision, in which Horse
gets Killed and Hall Philips mar
,oxvIy Escanas heath

A Frightful Collision, in which Horse
gets Killed and Hall Philips mar
rowly Escapes Death.
Last night, after the speaking had
just been finished, though great crowds
of people still lined the streets, an
alarm of fire was sounded and the 10th
ward designated as the scene of the
flames. 1t turned out to be false
alarm, but came near being the indi-
rect cause of the death of Mr.. Hall
Philips, son of DR.. Philips o6this city,
and a Young man well known in Aus
tin. It seems that he was riding his
horse at q tolerably rapid gate up Pc
can street toward the avenue, and at
the same time the hose carriage of
Colorado No. 2 was going also at a
rapid rate in the opposite direction, to
the supposed fire. At point just OPP
posite Piatt's livery stable the collision
took place. Some one threw an ex-
plosiYe in the street !; both horses
swerved in fright, and the horse
attached to the fire cart STUN
Dled TO the, ground, breaking the
shaft of the vehicle, and the
remaining part striking full against
the horse that Philips was riding
pierced the breast of the, unluckY
steed. So great was the force of the
contact that the poor beast fell dead
in his tracks, and his rider thrown
headlong TO the ground. For time
it was feared that he too had been
killed. He was taken to BARRIERS
shop on the opposite side of the street,
and in few minutes he was restored
to CONSCIOUSNESS, as the fall had only
stunned him.
Nobody was to blame for the acct
dent, but while the value of making
all the time" possible in cases of fire
is appreciated, in cases like that last
night, too much care cannot be exer-
ciSed. A human life is more sacred
than wooden buildings, and it would
do no harm to go a little slow on
such occasions.

A Mr.. Jones came along in buggy
drawn by an unmanageable horse, or
as some say an unbroken horse, and a
collision taking place the sharp end
of the shaft of the vehicle mentioned
was driven into the hip of the poor
brute standing hitched, penetrating
at least ten inches. The animal was
taken home but died from lockjaw in
about an hour afterward.
If the animal was being broken
into harness, as reporter was told, it
is mildly suggested that some better
place than The Avenue might have
been found for this equine exercise.
