TIE good work OF the Lincoln Club. oi
Wheeling is matter Of general knowledge.
The clubs light has not been hid under o

has produced results. A point has been
reached where its life hangs in the balance
Shall the Lincoln Club live or die? This
is the practical question. It is to be
answered by providing or Withholding the
means for the clubs support. Soon we
shall have on hand another Congressional
campaign, and by that time the nexI
Presidential campaign will have fairly
opened.
Republicans know what the club is in
campaign time, at least. They ought tc
realize that the party cannot afford to lose
its organized aid. II they ieei this way
about it let them be at the meeting nexi
Thursday night and say SO. Let those who

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Oonspl Gen.
eral sutton, in a report dated Matamoras,
Mexico, Nov. 4, states that the sugar ex-
ports, which for the preceding Eve years
averaged $272, 900, have steadily decreased
to $ii 200 ion the half year ended 1884,
and have ceased to be important. This Is
due to opening up Of new home markets
by the railways. The changes wrought
by the American railways are further
shown by the increase Of exports from
Passe Del Norte. Those for the last half
Of 1875 amounted to $l2,557 in value,
while for the last half Of 1884, they aggre-
rated s.. 100000.

LONDON, Nov. 2G-The excitement over
yesterdays election continued unabated
to-day. All the newspapers again Issued
special editions every hour until midnight.
The jubilation Is almost entirely confined
to the Tories, and experts declare that
their hopes Of obtaining plurality in the
next Parliament are well founded. This
belief Is based upon experience in past
elections, which has shown that victories
early in the balloting have invariably had
favorable effect for the victorious party
upon the constituencies which had not yet
voted. Thus, in 1874 the Tories on the
first day Of the elections gained nine seats
and the Liberals four.

HOtel-The Affair Cloudod In Mystery.
NEw ORLEANS, La, Nov. 2G,-A double
killing occurred at the Southern Hote
here last night, which leaves great doub
as to whether it was murder or suicide
Charles l.. Davis, manager OF Davis cir
Gus, came to this city October 25th. Mrs,
Davis was in her room last night with her
husband and her nephew. The nephew
reports that Mrs. Davis was seated with
her feet on the fender, while Davis was
lying on the bed playing with couple Of
pistols. Suddenly one OF these were dis
charged and Mrs. Davis sprang up with
her hand to her breast, saying she was
wounded.
Her nephew ran out for assistance.
When Mr.. Thornton, the proprietor OF the
hotel entered the room he found Mrs.
Davis lying on the bed dead with o
bullet through her heart. Davis was
bending over her, apparently trying TO
see whether life was extinct. By her
side lay pistol. Thornton took this
up, but Davis angrily said: Leave that
alone; don'tda totouCh anything here"
. He siezsd the pistol himself, placed it
against his head and blew out his brains.
Only one pistol could be found, and that
with only one cartridge discharged, 1tis
impossible to say whether the death OF
Mrs. Davis was an accident or a murder.
She was only 25, strikingly handsome
brunette, and had been married three
years. The couple seemed very affection
ate and no one had noticed the slightest
trouble between them. A strange circum.
stance is that collection Of very fine bur-
slar's tools WAS found among Davis effects.
Davis was from Mayfeld, Ky. His wife
vas formerly Miss Annie Wiggerman.

Damage Done.
New York, Nov. 2G.-From different

Tuesday reports continued to come yester-
day Of the devastation wrought. Although
the individual losses arc large in only a
few instances, yet the injury done by the
wind and floods is so widespread that the
aggregate losses are very great indeed.
The damage at Long Branch and along
the New Jersey Central is greater than 1t
was at first reported to be. Several cot
tages suffered more or less, and the
grounds OF many others we're sadly torn
up. Water in the cellars still bothered
people in the streets near the river fronts
and trouble was experienced at many Of
the ferries owing to the fact that the high
tides raised the bridges far out Of level.
In the low lands west Of Jersey City some
OF the railroads were still further damaged
