TALK OF A CONTEST

If, as indicated by the tardiness of re-
turns from counties where, although the
votes are few, and facilities of communica-
ton numerous, the figures have been altered
to suit the pleasure of few manipulatOrs.
Democracy wants an investigation and a
thorough one. There is no going behind
the official returns as they are reported cor
recuy or incorrectly by counties here and
there, SO it is proposed to wait until the state
canyaSSing board has examined care
fully the returns from every
county and noted the circumstances
under which each official return was made.
TIen the voice of those interested in cleo
ton fairness may be heard, and
A RECOUNT
of the entire state sternlY demanded. Sa-
gacious politicians like Lieut.. Gov. Gilman
have predicted that it may yet be necessary
for the Judiciary to decide what is the true
outcome of the recent battle of ballots. There
are precincts in the state which are con-
ceded to be nothing better than rotten bor-
Oughs. They are the back precincts-diS-
tant or obScured from the center of state
government, most of them in the lumber
districts. They may be found in such
counties as Carlton, Cass, Itasca, Cook and
Lake. The suspicion arises that
when the figures come from these they may
vary widely from the real vote cast. The
same suspicion has clouded the returns from
other counties where they were tedously
tardy III coming to the front This is borne
out by the fact that III the thirty-nine
counties which sent in figures in good time,
DR.. Ames had a majority of 10, 900. His
election was apprehended by Republicans.
Returns were delayed and secret meetings
We're held. As a result the late figures
have favored AIcGill. And the effect may
be that gigantic law suit will be waged to
find out who the people have really chosen
to rule. The public will then be compelled

CREATED A SENSATION.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 7.-Donavan's
jump from the suspension bridge to-day has
created a sensation here. He is at the
BToeZel house with broken RIB. In all in
terview he says:
They say the bridge is 196 feet high, and after
they took me out OF the water | found out
that the water is lower than it ever was. The
distance from the bridge must be 210 feet.
1t was Il terrible jump, and i wouldn't make
it again for the whole of the United
States. 1 was on the Canada end of
the bridge, but pretty near the middle OF the
river. | had on my jumping suit the same

if it bothered me in the water I
could get out of it easily. / am
sorry for that now, for if the
coat had not spread out in the air while was

square and wouldn't have broken my rib.
Prof. HALEY said it wanted three minutes of

1 feel? Well, it's hard to tell. / closed my
eyes VIXEN l jumped, but 1 opened them right

My elbows were close to my sides, and 1
kept my feet together. When l struck the
water 1t seemed as though l would burst to

letters of regret from prominent men was one
from President Cleveland, who said II
should be glad to accept the kind invitation
rendered and avail myself of the opportunity
that the convention will afford to me. the
repre- sentatves of the interest so important
and valuable as that which the farmers and
agricul.ursts of the country have in charge.
The relation OF this interest to the welfare
and prosperity of our land is so intimate that
its proper and legitimate care and protection
is. in my opinion, a patriotic duty This
consideration elevates the responsibility of
this in any wise interested with our farming
industry. beyond the plane of mere selfish
ness, and should induce conservativeness and
moderation. The demands made in such
spirit cannot fail to exact a just and apprecia-
tive response from those who make and exc
cute our laws. | hope thet the coming con-
vention may be productive of the best results
to agriculture as well as to all the people of
our country, and though plans have already
been made and engagements already agreed
upon will prevent my acceptance of your in
vtation to be present | shall be much inter-
ested in its objects and purposes
Congressman Jas Buchanan of New York
spoke on the oleomargarine bill, saying he
believed that an attempt would be made in
the next session OF Congress to repeal the
law and advising the association to be ready
to oppose such attempts.
Resolutions were presented urging the
farmers and the people at large to elect no
men to Congress who are not fully in sympa-
thy with the great industries of the people,
and commenting Congress for passing the
oeomargarine bill, demanding the general
government by legislation to seek and re-
move all discrimination against the coun-
try's products, and favoring the creation of a
cabinet position of the secretary of agricul
ture. Some of the resolutions were adopted,
and the convention adjourned to tomorrow.

A VIRGINIA CYCLONE.
Desolation and Destruction at Ouanco
Houses Carried Through the Air and
Large Trees Frustrated.
ONACooK, Va. Sent. |

ONACooK, Va, Sept 10.
The most terrific cyclone that ever visited
the eastern shore of Virginia swept over
Onaneook Sunday night, uprooting trees,
oVerturning houses and spreading destruc-
ton IN It's track. The day had been Intense
iy hot, and as night came a dark thunder
cloud overspread the sky. There was a long
continued display OF vivid lightning, and ,usI
before midnight the bursting of the storm
was heralded by black, funnel shaped cloud
that approached from the southwest with
loud roaring noise.
he town OF Onancook lies between two
arms OF broad aud deep estuary of the
Chesapeake Bay. In approaching the town
the cyclone passed over the southern arm of
ms estuary and cuught up huge column of
OF water, forming waterspout which broke
with destructive violence on the lower cad of
the town. The wind sweeping in through
thls part OF the town tore up great trees by
The Roots, twisting them OFF near the ground
and blew over and carried away all the houses
IN track, which, fortunately, lay through the
part OF the town where the buildings are not
close together.
The people, aroused by the terrific noise OF
the storm, rushed out TO find the air filled
with hylng tlmbers and the rain pouring down
IN torrents. The falling of chlmneys aud
that the dreadful earthquake was at hand.
As the cyclone approached the broad and
deep body of water that forms the northern
limit of the town, it seemed to have gained
fresh strens sth and swept everything before it.
The house of Shepherd Horsey, colored
man, with all its contents, was torn up aud
carried several hundred yards across the
water, while some Of Its heavy timbers were
iound more than mile away. A heavy
piece OF iron was blown several hundred
yards with such violence as TO be firmly i'm
bedded III the side of house. Shortly after
leaving the town the cyclone struck a Gene
tery on an elevated promontory, hurting
do"n many of the heavy monuments and
breaking Others of like reeds close to the
ground. Great oaks in the cemetery that
had stood the storms of centuries were torn
up by the roots and others more than five feet
In diameter were snapped off like pipe stems.
The track of the cyclone varied in width,
from fifty to seventy-hve yards. 1t began
two or three miles outside OF the town and
went about the same distance to the north,
where 1t appears to have died away in the
marshes that border on Chesapeake Bay
Strange as 1t may seem not a single life was
lost There were, however several miracu-
lous escapes.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
A Dishonest Chicago Clerk Said to Have
Feigned Death to Escape Punishment.
CHICAGO, Sept. Is,

CHICAGO, Sept 10.
On the Sth of this month William j. Gin.
gen, ex clerk of the armory police court of
Chicago, died very suddenly and was buried
the following day. Ginger was a prominent
figure in local politics and had for several
months been under indictmen, for the de felt
of several Thousand dollars in his accounts.
The circumstances of his sudden death were
briefly chronicled in the daily papers. Ac-
cording to the reports then he died from an
attack of pleurisy.
A Chicago paper this morning saws that it
is currentlv reported that Clingen is not dead
st all and that there was altogether too much
mystery and haste in the funeral arrange
ments of the alleged deceased. The rumors
were first set afioat by certain members of
the Orders of Foresters, of which Clingen
was member, but which he denied having
any connection with when the emhezzlement
case was brought against him. The Foresters
claim that none of them were allowed to see
the body even eight hours after the death op
account of the state OF decomposition, so the
family and some of the near friends ut il.
Even the intimate friends of the alleged dead
man were refused permission 10 see the body,
and so far as is known no one saw him A
certificate of death was signed by DR.. Gibson
whose name does not appear in the directory.
Ii was because of this certificate that no cor
oner's inquest was held. Suspicious of trick
cry have reached the city law department
aud it is understood that an Investigation is
progressing and that the case against Clingen
will not be nolle prosed for the present at
least. 1t is thought that Cingen has escaped
and is in hiding. The plan as exposed shows
that 1t was his intention to feign death and
submit to being placed in a coffin and taken
TO a tomb

AID FOR CHARLESTON.
The Publication of Minister Phelps's
Dispatch Cools English sympathy.

LONDON, Sept. Is.
The dispatches which passed by cable be-
tween Minister Phelps and Secretary Bayard
relative to the Lord Mayors fund for the re-
lief of the sufferers at Charleston have been
published in London, and their appearance in
the newspapers have considerably cooled the
enthusiasm or those who were anxious to
contribute to the amelioration of the distress
of the stricken people. The city magnates
feel very sore over Mr.. Plelps's attempt TO
suppress the sympathy which the English
public always shows through Its pocket, and
the newspapers express regret that the Lord
Mayor should have offered assistance, sug-
gesting that it would have been better had he
waited until the sufferers themselves appealed
for aid, when a movement to raise money for
their relief would have had a more powerful
effect upon the sympathies of the people. I'm
der the existing circumstances the London
papers give utterance to expressions Of fear
that the relief fund will be altogether un-
worthy of the British nation and humiliating
to British pride.
n NJ. Rothschild & Sons have contributed
$500 and Messrs. Barring Brothers the same
amount to the relief fund.
