prised and gagged the sentry at the en-
trance to the prison of this city and re-
leased twenty-five convicts. The whole

Prominent Man Arrested.

CLEVELAND, November g. Cd. Croker,
IA prominent young man OF this city, and a
son OF s.. D. Croker, a wealthy citizen, was
arrested tonight at the instance OF D. A.
Bennett, of Tombstone, Arizona. Bennett
claims that Croker represented to him that
he was a large property owner, and that he
therefore readily sold him 1900 shares of
stock in the Copper King Mining and Reduc-
ton Company, whose property is located
in Mexico. The notes were given in ex-
change for stock, which went to protest
when due. Croker says the arrest is mali

IOWA

DEs MONIES, November 3.-The day has
been fair here and over the State as far as
reported. A heavy vote was polled. Re-
turns will be late as a large proportion OF
the polls were kept open until 9 o'clock:
The returns will be sent to the Associated
Press aid summarized as fast as received,
showing a net Republican gain or loss. A
comparison will be made with the vote on
Governor in 1884, when three candidates
were in the field, but the Democratic and
Greenback vote will then be added together
and counted as an opposition to the Re
publican vote. In that year the Republic
can candidate for Governor had $4,000
majority over the combined opposition.
AGoo MAJORITY.
Iowa, November 3.-Estimates at the Re-
publican headquarters, based on returns
received up to l1:15 p. M, give a Republl-
can majority or the State ticket OF 1900
to 20, 900. At the Democratic headquar-
tiers no estimate is made IN the State
ticket. The Democrats claim the election
OF members of the Legislature in Scott, Du-
buque, Potta, Wattamie, Wapello and Ia
ma counties.

The Natlers' Strike.

PlrrsBuRG, Pa, November 3.-There is a
nail panic in Pittsburg and throughout the
West on account of the nailers' strike.
Nails are difficult to obtain at 1925 per
keg and all that have been soldin this mar
ket for the last six weeks have been manu-
featured in the East. Builders and con-
tractors are complaining bitterly about
having to pay such an price for
nails, add in one or two extreme instances
the work on buildings not urgent has been
temporarily suspended here in view OF the
strike coming to an end. Both sides, how
ever, are still firm, and an early settlement
is not considered probable.

AWAITING
The Figures ON the Probable Result OF
The Election.

The Election.
New YORK, November 1.-The campaign
in this State may be said to have
closed. The Times says, sententiously:
We have no doubt of the result. The Sun
SAYS: The Democratic committee looks
for 80, 900 plurality for Hill, and estimate
that the Prohibition vote will be almost as
large as Hills plurality.
Neither the Tribune nor the World VEN
ture on q prediction further than that the
result will be close. Correspondents OF the
two journals, however, are widely apart.
the former claiming an easy victory for
Davenport and the latter a victory for
Hill.
TAKING FABLES.
The Herald prints two tables of prob
able majorities by counties. Both are
made up by Republicans. One Of them
gives Davenport $3.50 majority, and the
other 1850. The Tribune and Times
says that betting is 800 to $3.50 n Daven-
port, and the World, while confessing that
those were the figures a few days ago, says
that betting is now even.
The Tribune says that Governor Hill is
not devoid of humor. To q friend on
Friday he said: "Well, whatever may be
the result of this campaign, one thing is
certai 1, the Elmira Gazette, Jones scale
works and Pleasant Valley Wine Company
will never again receive SO much Tree adj
vertising as they have received since this
campaign began"

THE WARD FRAUDS.
The Charge That Other Person. Are Inn
plicated in Them.

New YORK, November 3.-The report was
published yesterday that warrants were
out for Mayor Grace and Others, accusing
them of completely in the frauds OF Ward
and Fish. United States District Attorney
Dorsheimer said: 1.-The story is absolutely
false. There are no indictments, and none
could be found before Thursday, as the
United States Grand Jury will not be in
session until that day. Warrants need not
wait for Indictment, but SO far as | know
and SO far as the proceedings in the United
States Courts are concerned. there are no
warrants now out. OF course, l can say
nothing as to what warrants may be issued
or against what persons. As to Mayor
Grace, no evidence has been offered to me
to connect him in any criminal way with
the proceedings OF Ward or to show him
guilty OF anything that might compel me to
proceed against him."

DENVER DEMOCRATIC.
MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON, November 3.-Electicn day
passed quietly. Indications are that the
vote will be universally light. Jackson
polled $50 votes, and registered 1000, the
negroes generally not voting. The light
vote is to be accounted for because ofthere
being no ticket in the field except the regu-
lar Democratic State ticket. In q few
counties local disaffections were decided,
and a few Independents may be elected to
the Legislature and the county Offices.

CITY trust Mrs. Jarrett, and he had no rea-

The .Longsh0remen Go Out en- Acc0nMt

GALVESTON, November "A strike OF
considerable magnitude was ~inaugurated
here this afternoon by the Knights OF La
Dor. The trouble arose from the refusal Of
the agent of the Mallory line OF steamers to
withdraw their colored ~longshoremen from
the Mallory wharf, where they have been
working for the past week, replacing the
striking 'longshoremen. The strikers
joined the Knights of Labor and this Or
ganization has undertaken to restore the

prevailed here to-day and along the shore.
The harbor was tossed into immense Dill
lows. Numerous vessels lying at the piers
dragged their anchors, and several OF tnem

as the length of the ticket necessitates a
slow count. As far as heard from not a
single Fusionist candidate is elected. The
State returns are coming in slowly, but in
dications point to a Democratic success in
nearly all Of the counties which lnsures a
working majority in both branches OF the
Legislature.

thankful to Almighty God, whose watchful

erence from the shock and danger of politi-
cal convulsion; for the blessings OF peace
and for our safety and quiet while wars
and rumOrs OF war have ag-
itated and afflicted the other ma
tions of the world; for our security against
the scourge OF pestilance which in other
lands has claimed it's dead by thousands
and filled the streets with mourners; for
p%lentious crops which reward the labor OF
the husbandman and increase our Nations
wealth, and for contentment throughout
our borders which follows in the train Of
prosperity and abundance, and let there
also be on that day thus set apart

no means forget, while we give thanks and
enjoy the comforts which have crowned our
lives, that truly grateful hearts are inclined
to deeds OF charity, and that kind and
thoughtful remembrance OF the poor will
double the pleasures Of our condition, and
render our praise and Thanksgiving more
acceptable in the sight of the Lord.

Cuba, and who is known by the name OF
Antonio Saloa, came here some time ago
and established a restaurant. To-day his

were counted by the coroner. Several Gu
pans nave been arrested, but the police be-
lieve a Chinaman did the work for the pur-
pose of robbery. The body had been robbed
and the till rified. Blood stains on the

NEBRASKA.

LINCOLN, Neb., November 3.-One ward
in this city and five outside precincts are
all that are heard from complete. These
with the other partial reports indicate the
election of the Republican State ticket by
about the same majority as last year in
proportion to the vote. The latest esti-
mate makes $4,000 as the Republican ma
jority. The anti-monopoly vote has prac-
tically dieappeared. The Prohibition vote
will reach 5000 in the State.
A LOCAL WRANGLE.
LINCOLN, Neb., November .-The election
in this State to-day had no special impor-
lance and passed off very quietly. The
multiplicity of local tickets brought out a
good vote. The State officers voted for are
Judge of the Supreme Court, and two Re-
gents of the University. The returns come
in slowly as some OF the counties have five
local tickets in the field and nom less than
three. Probably not any definite informa-
ton will be received tonight, though itmay
be taken for granted that the entire Repub-
lican State ticket is elected. In this city
there is much scratching and the count will
be slow.
