WAsHISaroN, Oct. 15.-Generally speak
ing the Democratic press Of the East,
speaking upon the theory that tho Re-
publicans have swept Ohio, give their
Ohio brethren very cold comfort. The
Washington Posi- pours brine intoi the
wounds in the following style:
"If.the result in Ohio surprises no one
more than It does US, nothing even family
approachinga seneation. will be impaired
to the country by the news this morning.
Careful readers Of the Post, moreover, will
understand that our regret is about as
poignant as our astonishment. When it
becomes evident to us that Democratic
victory in Ohio would result in the aggrsn-
dizement OF Governor Hosdly and John
Mclean, and in renewed indignation to
Mr., Thurman, We concluded that such a
victory was not only impracticable but un.
desirable. The combination OF Hoadly
and McLea at the expense OF Thurman
was enough to doom the cause champion
ing that combination, and to defeat it in
exact proportion to the number Of decent
and patriotic voters in the State.
"Aiter all, it is satisfactorily clear to our
mind that Ohio is usually, We may say
generally, Republican State whenever
the Republicans happen to want it. We
carry 1t occasionally, when the Republi.
cans are tired or Indifferent; but II there
be anything at stake-auything Of import
apce sufficient to rouse them to serious
eiort-the real ownership Of Ohio is
promptly and conclusively established.
People who have given intelligent atten.
ton to Ohio elecuons are quite aware Of
this little popularity, We are quite will
ing to believe that the result might easily
have been otherwise had different condi-
tions prevailed. Had the campaign been
shaped so as to hold out to patriotic citi-
zens prospect Of some reliei-had 1t in

wise counsels and lofty statesmanship Of
such leaders as Allen G. Thurman, It Is

was nothing to arouse enthusiasm or IN

THERE is something very remarkable
about the investigation now being con-
ductcd by committee Of Council. This
committee was formed to prosecute an in
quiry into the conduct Of the Mayor.
Council had previously stopped the inves-
tigAtion which was directed against the
Chief of Police. II this meant anything
itmeant that Council didnot wish to know
anything more about the misdeeds Of the
Chief OF Police. For some inexplicable
reason the investigation now in progress
hes developed into trial Of the Chief Of
Police. This is all the more remarkable
because only the witnesses for the prose-
cuIion have been on the stand and because
the most damaging testimony against the
Chief has been given by the Chiefs own
suboriinates selected by himself to
bIacken the Mayor. The public will not
easily understand why the Chiefs counsel
permit him thus to crawl into hole and
draw the hole in after him.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Gsneral Nelson A.
Miles, who is in the city, received tele-
gram from Lieutenant Henry Tallen, Of
the Second Cavalry, stating that he had
arrived safely at San Francisco after his
Alaska explorations, having completed a
journey through the regions Of the Far
North, which, in the opinion OF General
Miles, excelled all explorations on the
American Continent sincs Lewis Clarke,
and the worlds record since Livingston.
Lieutenant Allen left Sitka last Febru-
ary, and journeyed to the mouth OF the
Copper river, which he followed until he
reached the great Alaskan range OF noun
tains. These he crossed on snow shoes to
the head OF the Tennah river, in itself a
remarkable accomplishment. For 700 or
500 miles he followed the Tennah until it
emptied into the Takon, the great river Of
the North, 10 its mouth, a distance OF 400
or 500 miles more.
Upon the complexion Of his great Jour-
ney Lieutenant Allen repaired to Fort
Michel, on the Behring Sea, and returned
on the steamer Corwin. Tho exploration
Of the Tennah and Takon rivers has been
the ambition Of explorers long before
Alaska camo into the possession Of the
United States, but the Russians failed each
time 1t was attempted. Since then several
explorations by American officers have
ended in failure, until among the army

Lieutenant Aliens companions were a
sergeant aud an officer Of the Signal Corps,
together with the Indians whom he per.
sueded to join them.

Returns from the buckeye State.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. l5.-There can be
no absolute certainty about the result OF
Tuesdays election in Hamilton county
until the official count is made. The
vote in the two precincts Of the Nine
teenth ward, whose counting was not fin
ished last night, has now been counted,
and the result on Governor with one
country precinct missing, which IN 1884
gave II Republican majority, stands thus:
Governor Hoadly, 80. .GG7; Foraker, 38,SG2;
Leonard, 1920. Hoadly's plurality 800.
The returns are far from complete on the
legislative ticket.
The Times Star estimates that the aver
age vote on the Republican membersof
the Legislature exceeds Foraker's vote by
1,Ol5. II that rate is maintained it
would elect the Republican delega-
ton except Robert. Harlan. Moth
lug can determine this contingency
except an official count. Since the list
o! counties claimed by the Republicans
for representatives was announced yester-
day, there have bson two changes, ole
in HANCOCK and tho otherin Knox county.
The vote in Kuox ia close. There is alIo
doubt about the result in Williams county.
Figures from the State, exclusive Of Ham
ilton county, indicate a plurality Of from
1900 to 10000 for Foraker.

A TRRRIpLE OUTRAGE.
School Girls Attacked by = Gang of Brutal
Young Outlaws.

PIrTsBURoH, Oct l5.-The details Of an
outrage Of the most brutal character were
brought to the city this afternoon by a
gentleman who had passed through Oak
dale, little town fifteen miles out the
Panhandle road, this morning. The Wild
est excitement exists at that place, and il
the facts are as they are represented, not
without cause. The story OF the affair is
follows:
Yesterday afternoon, when the village
school, which is out Of town a short dis
tance, had been dismissed for the day, a
crowd Of young girls were coming into
town together. While passing through
neck OF woods short distance from the
school house, three boya, OF sixteen years
OF age or mo Q, strangers in the vicinity,
met the girls on the road. Two Of the
boys were coiored.
,Fhey stopped as the girls came up and
engaged in hurried conversation. Sud
denly they pulled revolVers and pointed
them at the girls heads. The latter
screamed and tried to run, but were seized
by the young villains All managed to
yet away but one, Annie McKimp, a young
girl Ii years OF aye. The girl was brutally
assaulted and left lying by the roadside.
After time she recovered sufficiently to
half drag herelf home, where abe detailed
the circumstances OF the affair. The news
was circulated about the little village and
q search was begun for the perpetrator! OF
the crime. A constable got track Of the
boys aud followed them 10 Primrose, a lit
tie village FIVE miles beyond Oskda!e,
where they were found this morning and
arrested. The boys were taken back to
01kdale on one OF the trains. The white
boy was very r'uch frightened and cried
IS he was seated on the train, but the
other two laughed at him and kept up
very bold front.
Upon the arrival OF the constable at
0akdale a crowd was at the station. |
Threats oflynching were heard all around,
but the boys were taken before magis.
trate and committed to await the result OF
the girls injuries. The names ofthe boys |
could not be learned, but 1t is thought |
that they are the thee who escaped from
Morganza day before yesterday. The re.
port from 0akdale today stated that the
young GIRLS lying in an extremely critical
condition, with no hope OF recovery. The
affair is causing great excitement in that
placa. |

THE EARTHQUAKE
In vIrglnia-Particulnrs of the Shock in

WASHINGTON, Oct. l5,-Dispstches from
various points in Virginia confirm the re-
ports otan earthquake shock Friday night.
A letter from Charlottesville says:
Intelligence from Louisa, Fluvapna,
Campbell, and from every district OF this
county, concurs in placing the time Of the
FIRST shock at halt-past II o'clock p. NJ.
The shock was evidently greater here than
at any other point from which informa-
ton has been received. In Charlottesville
houses rocked as in a great storm; win
dows, stoves and dishes rattled furiously,
vases were shaken. from mantels in some
cases, and everything generally 80 well
shaken that people were aroused from
their slumbers and sprang out Of bed and
ran to the windows TO see what WAS wrong.
One gentleman who had not retired,
walked across bis floor during the quak.
ing, and AYERS that his house rocked 60
violently that he experienced the same
difficulty that one has in walking on the
cars while they are in motion. The
shocks, for there were two, were accom-
panied by rumbling noise which could
be heard for some time after the quakiDg
ceased, and which was mistaken by some
for thunder. A great many people were
very badly frightened"
At Warneiton the phock was distinctly
felt 1t wakened persons from their sleep
and ratified windows. Three distinct
shocks vera felt in Lynchburg between
II and u o'clock Friday night. A loud
rumbling sound preceded each shock.
Tho direction OF the disturbance was due
north and south. Tho shock was also
heard in certain parts of Richmond, but
the vibrations were very slight. Adyices
from other points west and south Of Rich
mond report slight shocks. AT Staunton
the shock was very perceptible, continuing
over half minute.
