FIRST CUNTRULLER LAWRENCE DENIES
that his office is being Investigated In connection
with the charges preferred by j. j. Barker, and
says that he has not been placed in position re-
Quiring an investigation Since the charges were
published he has prepared statement regarding
their details which conclusivey refuteS them. The
accounts OF United States ofhcers which were sus-
pected OF being Illegal he says, received the ap-
prOval OF the court or OF the AttOr-
ney General before they reached him.
Regarding the investigation OF the Florida land
claim which, 1t is alleged, Barker endeavored to
have passed, Judge Lawrence declines to speak.
Nothing is yet known about the result OF that in
vestigation. The report in the case has been re-
ferred to the Secretary OF the Treasury.

lith the Chances
in favor OF
LAME s LOGAN.
Wisconsin for Blaine by
10000,
Every Northern State Goes for
Blaine Except Connecticut
and New Jersey.
STILL CLAIMED FOR BLAINE.

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The Repub-
hcan state committee, at midnight,
still claim the state by from 5000 to
5000 for Blaine. Their estimates are
based upon the Democratic claims of
aims, which they believe are not up
20 the increase of the vote over 1880,
n which case they will count for moth
ing The only way in which they
believe the state can be carried for
Cleveland is by fraud The Tribune
claims that Blaine has carried the
state and is therefore elected presi-
lent. Its belief is founded upon the
following figures j: Returns from
,742 election districts outside of New
ork and Kings counties give Blaine
389, 404, Cleveland 49,. 119 This
leaves Blaine's plurality 1926. In
New York and Kings counties the
Democratic plurality will not exceed
So. 557-leaving Clcveland's plurality
l,282, with 254 election districts to
hear from. Those districts In 1880
gave net Republican plurality of
4,243. The same proportion this year
would give Blaine 2,96I plurality in
the state. The Tribune now claims
the state by 1,600 plurality. "There
is nothing" says the Tribune Sin the
returns from the remainder of the
state to indicate probability of the
Democrats overcoming that" The
betting tonight has continued heavy
in favor of Blaine carrying the state,
many bets at the Hoffman house being
three to one in his favor
WISCONSIN.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 6.-The feature
OF the election in this county yesterday
was the complete route Of the brewers
and saloon element The brewers as
sumed the task of defeating the
national republican ticket in the state
and the entire republican county ticket
They did their best, and were igno-
mlnously beaten. This is the greatest
surprise of the election in Milwaukee.
Ne more will the Republican party
leaders stand in dread of the brewery
interest as they have in the past.
Nothing about the election is more
gratifying than this, not alone to the
Republican leaders, but to the law and
order element of the city generally
The election of VanSchaick to congress
over Deuster, democrat, is the cause
OF much rejoicing. Rusk carries the
state by 10000, and the national tick
ct is elected by at least 5000. The
legislature is surely Republican by a
good majority.
MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, Nov. 6.-Returns receiv-
ed at the Republican State Central
Committee rooms show net Republi-
can gain of 9.216 over 1882, and
leaves no doubt of the election of Gen.
Alger, (Rep.) for governor. The
vote on electors will probably reach
1000 plurality for Blaine.

THE FIELD REVIEWED.
The result of Tuesdays election is
still in considerable doubt. New York
is the pivotal state, and on the result
there the interest centera. The latest
returns received this morning before
going to press show that, whichever
way it goes, it will be by remarkably
small majority. Chairman Jones, of
the Republican national committee,
claims the state very positively by a
good majority, and is supported by ex-
Gov. Cornell, who estimates 1000
plurality. Charles E. Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, and one of the
best-posted men on New York politics
claims 1900 majority. On the other
hand, the New York Times has re-
duced the estimates to 1925, plurality
fer Cleveland, and the Democratic
managers are positive in their asser-
tions of victory. New Jersey and
Connecticut are conceded Democratic.
Indiana is still very doubtful, and
steady reports of Republican gains in
dictate reasonable grounds for hope.
Michigan is also among the uncertain,
it being feared that the fusion ticket
will be successful. In Virginia the
result has not been decided yet. Ma
| hone positively claims a Republican

A Glove on Dean StmIey's Head.

The late Dean Stanley, says London
Truth, is said to have rarely made a
gesture while preaching, fact which
probably gave rise to the following
amusing anecdote: One day, after
morning service, he asked his wife if
she had noticed the intensity with
which the congregation had gazed upon
him during the sermon. How could
they help it, my dear" said Lady Au-
gusta, when one of your gloves was on
the top of your head the whole time ?"
The Dean, having taken off his hat be-
fore entering the pulpit, the glove had
fallen on his head, and, as he stood
quite still while preaching, there it re-
manned.

Bananas i'm Florida.

Hon. Robert b. Roosevelt, writing to
the american AgricuIturist in regard
to q recent visit to Florida, says: OPP
posite Pilatka there were great planta-
tions of bananas, which grow by suckers
from the roots, and increase like weeds.
They have to be three years old before
they bear, and the development of the
flower and fruit, which was going on
while we were there, was pretty sight.
The top of the stalk turns over and pro-
duces huge purple flower of a single
leaf, as large as the hand of giant.
From under this large leaf starts a
circle of small sprouts like fingers.
The big leaf falls off, but from the ends
of the fingers burst other much smaller
purple flowers. Then below the row OF
fingers grows another flower like the
first; it also uncovers another row OF
fingers, and so on till the entire bunch
of bananas, as we know it in the market,
is formed. Even then the flower point
does not cease growing, but exhibits
flower after flower, which are merely
ornamental and do not result in fruit.
Sprouts start so freely from the roots,
that the young bushes have to be cut
away every year with scythes, or they
would become crowded and the fruit
degenerate.

One OF Thurman's Methods.

A Washington correspondent relates
curious circumstance in connection
with the passage of the Thurman sink
ing-fund act, and it may explain in
some measure why the ould-Hunting
ton lobby was defeated: 1t will be re-
membered that the efforts of Gould
and Huntington were concentrated
upon the Senate. Stanley Matthews
had charge of the bill, and was enthu-
siastically supported on the Democratic
side by Voorhees, and Ben Hill.
Gould and Huntington were here in
person. Gould had chosen to dismiss
for time his parliamentary agents, y
and had himself undertaken the task of
calling personally upon Senators and
endeavoring to convince them by the
ingenious and plausible arguments pi
which he is master to support the
amendments which would practically
nullify the Thurman bill.
The agents of Gould and Huntington
sat in the marble-room of the Senate,
to which, under the rules of that body,
they could have had access only by the
introduction of some Senators. They
were confident of forty votes to defeat
the bill Senator Thurman expected
to pass the bill by midnight. There
were indications of an attempt at fill
clustering by it's oponents, and many
amendments had been offered. Mr..
Thurman was seen to have upon his
desk a roll-call of the Senate. He
rose, stated that he understood the
opponents of his bill were confident of
victory; that he had in fact, then upon
his desk a roll-call of the Senate, with
the names checked upon it of the Sena-
tors who, he was well advised, were re-
lied upon by the agents of Gould and
Huntington to vote nay. There was
intense interest in the chamber. Mr..
Thurman did not read that roll-call or
tell where he got it. He simply said
that as the voting upon the amendments
proceeded he should watch it with
great interest, to see how well it tailed
with the list with which he had been
furnished.
There certainly was CONSERVATION in
the ranks of the lobby. The voting be-
gan. The forty promised votes upon
that tally-sheet dwindled to eighteen.
The bill was passed Thurman put his
mysterious roll-call into his pocket.
Gould took the train for New York and
it is said has never been in Washington
since. The Thurman bill went to the
House, defied the combinations of the
railroad lobby, and was passed by q two
thirds vote

Assisting Nature.

It is of no use attempting TO force nature. She
won't stand IL, and rebels. She must be coaxed
as 1t were, not driven. For instance, In attempt
ing to owe come constipation or indigestion, vio-
lent, or what physicians call, by way OF cuphony,
heroic treatment, is sure TO defeat the purpose
in view, which IL, or should be, to permanently,
remedy the evil. The use of drastic cathartics
is especially to be deprecated, for although they
temporarily overcome costiveness, yet the intes-
tines arr so weakened and infiamed by them as
TO be rendered unfit to perform the elective
functions properly. How much better TO assist
nature I'm such a cass with such mild and salu-
tary aperient as Hostettcrs Stomach Bitters,
which strengthen at the same time that they re-
lieve the bowels. Not only IL this result achieved
by their use but the activity of the torpid liver
= restored, the stomach invigoratcd, and the en-
tire system grearly benefited.
