information has been given by law-abiding
citizens who desire to aid in breaking up
the practice of illicit dstilling. This has
brought down upon them the vengeance of
the distillers, who have served notice upon
them to leave the country or take the con-
sequences. The evidence that the distillers
ment business was the assassination of a
young man named Dyar, who had testified
against several persons. Dyar was riding
home in a wagon. and when driving through
thick copse well-aimed bullet sped
through his brain. He fell back in the
wagon, and the horses taking fright gal
loped wildly until home was reached, where
Dyar's relatives were horrified by the sight
which met their gaze. The second man at
tackled was man named Galbrenth. He
was seated before the fireplace in his house
when double -barreled shotgun was placed
through hole in the wall and fired at him
by an unknown person. His clothing was
torn completely from his chest, but he es-
capped unhurt, the load of buckshot taking
effect in the wall. That night he fled the
country. Other persons suspected of peach
ing on the distillers are under notice to
make themselves scarce.

Emerson,s stolen Letters.

BosToN, Oct. 13.-In regard to the re-
port that portions of the late Emerson
Carlyle correspondence had been stolen,
Mr.. Edward Emerson of Concord, son of
the poet. gives some of the facts:
Shortly after Carlyles death it became
known to Mr.. Emerson that many of the
letters were missing, and after a long and
trying search the robber was found to be
none other than a trusted private secretary
of Mr.. Carlyle, who has since died. This
person had scattered the letters broadcast
throughout the leading cities, his design
being apparently to distribute them
where the attached autograph would
bring the highest prices. The possession of
these letters became vitally necessary in the
preparation of the correspondence, and many
of them were finally secured through adj
vertisements and by paying literally for
them. Others are still missing and the
matter of their recovery is placed in
legal hands. The matter had been kept
from the public until such time as
it was thought they could assist in their re-
covery. The stolen letters have been circu-
lated for sale chiefly in London and New
York. Mr.. Emerson has slight hopes of
being able to secure the letters necessary to
complete the next edition of the Emerson
Carlyle correspondence.

The special train left at o'clock this
morning. Shortly before that hour your
correspondent visited the railway king,
who conversed freely ON different subjects
of Importance.
II am here on my regular tour of inspec-
ton of the Missouri Pacific system. Mr..
Sage came with me simply as matter of
pleasure"
In what condition do you regard the
railroad affairs of the cOuntry?"
''Well, affairs have been in pretty bad shape
during the past year or so, but so far as
can read the signs OF the times, with refer
ence to the great railways of this
country, there is a good time coming
Rates are gradually being established in
the East business is swinging around to q
good basis, and / don't anticipate any more
railroad wars for a time at least. To my
mind the outlook all over the country
is encouraging. l am inclined to
feel that the railway business, as
well as the commercial interests of this land
are about to witness an era OF rare prosper
ity. So far as railroads are concerned feel
a great deal of confidence in the ability of the
trunk line presidents to keep rates to the pay
ing point, now that they have become aware of
the exigences of the situation. I will not
say anything about my future intentions in
regard to new lines. The belt line, however,
will allow the use of its tracks by all lines in
Omaha, which will be of benefit to northern
and southern roads alike
Mr.. Gould continued the conversation
some time, touching upon variety of top
les of general interest. He refused to
answer the reporters inquiry, did you
lose, as reported, 100000 in the Smith
failure on Wall street last week?" declining
to thus give away his private business. His
son, George, however, laughingly said that
the report was pretty nearly true. but he
said he guessed the Gould family has
enough money to live on while longer.

A Republican Victory.


CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-By half past -
tonight Judge Foraker was resting assured
of his election. Telegrams of con-
graduation poured in on him from
all quarters. The first was from
Ex-Gov. Cornell of New York. and was
followed by others from all over the state.
Gen. GroSvenor, congressman from the
Athens district, was particularly interested
in the legislature. Very gratifying reports
as TO Republican gains come in from time
to time. He intimated at midnight that the
Republicans had three-fifths Of the legisla-
ture on joint ballot. AS to the state ticket, it
now had become only question of figures.
The Cincinnati returns are still slow. The
Lincoln club claimed an average majority for
the entire Republican ticket Of 2, 200. John
r. Mclean said: Il know nothing as to
the state, but am inclined to think the
Democrats have carried Hamilton county"
There are great crowds on the streets. The
Republicans are getting more jubilant and
the Democrats are gradually transferring
their interest to local candidates.

Special to the Globe
Cor1ruBrs. o., Oct. 13.-The election
in this state passed off very quietly. In
the cities the vote compares very favorably
with that of two years ago, when Hoadly
was elected by 1889 plurality. 10
overcome this the Republicans had
to make gain of six to each precinct III
that state. At an early hour tonight the
Republicans gathered in the city
hall to receive the returns. Char
man Bushnell and other members OF
the Republican state committee oc-
cupied the state. and their private
dispatches and the press bulletins were
read to the audience. Owing to the length
of the ticket and the fact that the vote on
two of the constitutional amendments had
to be counted, the returns were very meagre
up to p. III. The first to come indicated
a Republican gain of about 30 to the pre-
cinct Later returns cut this down to Il
and it at one time touched r. 1t then took
an upward rise and remained stationary at
IS. which would indicate that the Repub-
licans had carried the state by from ID, 600 to
90, 600. The returns showed that Leonard,
the Prohibition candidate, made big gains
in several counties of the Western reserve,
the Republican stronghold. In counties
LARGELY SETTLED BY GERMANS
in cities especially, the Republican gains
were the largest This is accounted for by
John Sherman's popularity. Two years
ago the counties of Hamilton, Cuyahoga,
Franklin, Lucas and Montgomery, contain
ing the five largest cities i'll the
state gave Hoodly his plurality The re-
turns tonight indicate that Foraker will
carry there by large majority. If this is
the case, his plurality will exceed
10000 in the state, though later
returns may reduce it severas
thousand. Chairman Bushnell at II o'clock
claimed the state by Is, 900 and working
majority in both branches of the legisla-
ture, though he had nothing to base his
claims upon except the returns on
the head of the ticket. The Democratic
committee with few select friends received
the returns at their headquarters, and
were inclined to concede everything at an
cary hour Gov Hoadly. who arrived from
Cincinnati on a late train was not much dis
couraged, but admitted it would be very
close. Their only hope of the legislature
is that Hamilton county is solidly Demo
cratic.

HEAVENLY PORTENTS.
Signs Believed TO Have Been Ind


Signs Believed to Have Been Gndi-
cations of Following Events.
Out of the ancient world has come a mass
of belief regarding comets, meteors and
eclipSes; these were universally held to be
portentS sent directly from heaven for the
warning of mankind. As to the starSand
the meteors, they were generally thought
to presage happy events, especially births
of gods. heroes and great men. So firmly
rooted was this idea that we constantly find
among the ancient nations notices of the
lights in the heavens heralding the births of
persons of note. The sacred books of
India show that the births of Christina and
Buddha were announced by such heavenly
lights. The sacred books of China reveal
similar appearances at the births of Yu,
the founder of the first dynasty, and of the
inspired sage Lao-tse. In the Jewish le-
gends star appeared at the birth of Moses,
and was seen by the magi OF Egypt, who
informed the king, and when Abraham was
born an unusual star appeared in the east.
The Greeks and Romans held similar ira
ditions. A heavenly light accompanied the
birth of Ksculapius, and the births of
various Caesars were heralded in like man.
ner.
AS to the nature of these heavenly bodies,
the fathers of the Christian church were
divided. Origen thought them living
creatures, possessed Of souls, and the be-
lief was thought warranted by the beautiful
''Song of the Three Children" which the
Anglican communion has so wisely retained
in it's liturgy. Other fathers of the church
thought the stars abiding places of the
angels, and that shooting stars were moved
| by angelic hands. Philo Jud@us believed
the stars benefcent spirits, and this belief
was widely held by Jews, Greeks and
Christians. Among the Mohammedans we
have curious examples of the same tendency
toward kindly Interpretation of stars and
meteors, in the belief of certain Mohamme-
dan teachers that meteoric showers are
caused by good angels hurting missiles to
drive evil angels out of the sky.-Popular

The Feeling in Washington.

Speclal 10 Ine OIODe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Some betting
was done to-day on the result in Ohio. but
it was not brisk. Democrats who risked
money on the outcome of the days voting
confined their wagers to Hoadly's election.
They would not venture anything on the
legislature. AS rule Democrats did not
appear to feel any great degree Of hope.
Many of them took the ground that Ohio
was Republican state and that it was bad
policy, politically, to encourage any hope of
Democratic success. Democrats who took
this view agreed that the Ohio Democratic
leaders had made mistake in sending
abroad opinions of party success there.
They said that under the circumstances
Republican victory would have depressing
effect upon the Democracy of New York;
whereas. had it been steadily asserted that
Ohio was Republican state and likely to
go that way, New York Democrats would
nave been prepared for party defeat in
the Buckeye state. Such defeat would
have no effect on them. 1t was generally
admitted that the candidacy of Sherman
Tor re- election impaired an element of
strength to the Republican party in Ohio.
The president and cabinet have not for
some time been expecting a Democratic
victory in Ohio.
