The analysis OF the official returns
discloses some peculiar facts. The az.
gregate strength Of the vote of the State
of Nevada seems to have been brought
out on other candidates than that for
the Governorship, which would naturally
be supposed to attract the suffrage OF
every voter. The order in which the
different State offices rank ii Importance
according to this test is given below.
This must be accepted. however, as in
dicating the fact that those voters who
did not exercise a choice were inattentive
to the Importance of the different offices
to be filled by the election, as many
party men, who are dissatisfied with a
nomination, content themselves with
simply erssing the name of the objection
able candidate. The figures are curious,
however. Here are the officers and ag-
~prepates in their order:

But the literal fact is that Rising re-
ceived 2.099 more votes than Rives;
Bigelow SSl more votes than Creswell,
and Fitzgerald l60 more votes than Nc
Kenney.
Striking an average among the Repub.
lican majorities (omitting for this pur.
pose the Democratic majorities of Bel
KNAPP and ~Fitzgerald) we find that the
true Republican majority in the State is
995. and that this is equally we'll repre-
sented by Woodburn with his majority
of 1000 and Tufy with his majority of
$50.
If we subtract the aggregate Demo.
cratic majorities, and thus strike the
average. we find that Tufy with his ma
jority of 96O almost precisely represents
the true Republican majority in the
State.

A COMPLAINT FROM THE LADIES.

Stand up, You long-legged tobacco ehewers,
and others, who sit in front of hotels and i'm
pede the passage of ladies. We want to say
a few words to you, by request of the fair sex.
Every evening you congregate in front of the
several hotels in the city, seat yourselves in
chairs on each side of the pavement, with
your number IA brogans pointing toward the
centre, leaving but little room for the ladies
to pass. Not only this, but nearly all of you
chew tobacco or smoke cigars, and the tobac-
co juice and smoke are all sent to the centre,
where the ladies have to walk. Why do you
do it? You are not handsome, you are not
ornamental, your feet are not pretty, but the
tobacco juice is repulsivc and the tobacco
smoke is offensive. Some of you use pretty
strong djectives-stronger than elegant-in
your conversation, and this is offensive, too.
For this You are liable 'sto get found under
the cussing bill,'' and for blocking up the
sidewalks you are liable to fine under city
ordinance If this habit is not stopped you
may hear from the ladies in different way.
The married ones among you know what q
broom stick is, and the others may find out.
You had better look out.

DEATH BY DROWNING.

On Sunday last Upton 7. Barnes and his
wife visited a neighbor, William Carr. Mr..
! Barnes lived about a mile from Warheldsburg,
on the road leading to Dennings, and about a
half mile from Mr.. Carr's. Mrs. Barnes went
home alone, her husband promising to follow
shortly after He did not get home that
night, but Mrs. Barnes having heard HIM and
Mr.. Carr talking about going to Westminster
on Monday, she thought he had concluded to
stay all night at Mr.. Carr's and thought moth
ing of his absence. About O'Clock on Mon
day evening she sent her son Clayton over to
| Mr.. Carr's to see if his father had returned
| from town. On the way Clayton saw hal
near the road which he recognized as his
/ fathers, and on going to it observed the dead
body of his father The head was in shallow
stream. with the body on the declining bank,
and his arms folded across his breast Mr.
| Barnes had left Mr.. Carrs on Sunday even
ing, about dusk, to go home, and his body
was found about $50 yards from Mr.. Carr
house. The road he travelled was one moi
much used and connected the NlcodemuS
and Mt Airy roads. The stream in which he
was drowned runs across this road, but he
had left the road and gone upthe stream some
twenty or thirty feet. The water was low,
and only came up to about his ears, but nae
been higher on Sunday, owing to the heavy
rains. When he first fell into the stream the
water must have covered the head entirely, a;
the face showed evidence of having been
completely submerged.
When Clayton found his father he went and
informed his uncle, Amos Sentz, living abou
a quarter of mile away. His uncle theI
informed Albion Duvall, and the two went tt
the fatal spot and removed the body from the
water.
Justice Ellsworth Loveall was notified anC
held an inquest Drs. j. P. Summers anc
L. A. Aldrich examined the body and re
ported the result of their examination. Some
other witnesses were examined, and yerdlc
of accidental drowning was rendered.

but occasionally clerked in Mrs. E. j. Sell

Many Lives Destroyed by a Hurri-
cane in Spain.

MADRID, May ia terrible hurricane
swept across the middle of Spain to-day. In
this city 70 persons are known to have been
instantly killed, and 200 others have been
seriously injured The wind struck the city
with the suddeness of a lightning fash:
Tram cars and cabs were overturned and
broken into splinters, roofs were dislodged,
and telegraph wires everywhere torn from
their poles. The parks in and about the city
were devastated, and in some cases entirely
denuded One church tower was blown
down. A number of houses in the suburbs
were entirely wrecked. and of the many cot
tages on the outskirts of the capital which
were blown from their foundations and
wrecked. some were so completely broken
up and scattered by the wind that they may
be said to have simply vanished before the
storm.
Telegraphic communication has been SC
completely cut off that it is impossible as yet
to obtain news from the provinces, but it is
believed that the ruin wrought by the hurri-
cane has been widespread.

The excursion will number several hundred
They will first 90 to Hagerstown, and on their
return stop at Union Bridge, Westminster
and Glyndon.
They come to cultivate business and social
relations with the citizens of Western Mary
land, and no doubt their visit will result In IN
creaed trade between this section and the
Monumental City, our natural trading point,
and in the formation of an acqualntanceshlps
that will grow into close friendship. AT all
places arrangements are being made to re-
ceve and welcome the visitors, aud West
minister will not be behind in its cordially.
The merchants and other business men are
maturing plans for their proper reception :
The Association will arrive here about
o clock in the evening and remain two hours.
Their time here is rather short, but we must
exhibit the beauties and advantages OF our
little city as far as possible. The object OF
their visit is to secure our trade. Our object
should be to secure them as summer resi-
dents, at least. There is no healthier or
prettier place within easy reach OF Baltimore
than Westminster. We have gas, water,
railroad, telephone and telegraph; college,
good private schools, and churches OF the
leading denominations. Thus they will find
here most of the advantages and comforts of
the city. In addition we have most health
full climate, scenery not surpassed IN the
state, and all the beauties and delights OF the
country. Westminster at once combines city
and country In any direction beautiful build
ing sites are obtainable at reasonable hgures,
and taxation is so small as to appear minutes
imal when compared with the rate in Balti-
more. State, county and municipal taxation
here is but S33 cents on the 500, against
Sl.SS3 in Baltimore for state and municipal.
Westminster has some manufactures, too,
and it is possible that we might secure some
of the trade of the retailers among the Asso-
citation.
The program for their entertainment has
not be ,,atnEed yet,bttt- VIII be by to- night or
Monday. One feature will be the turning out
of the Fire Department, and an exhibition OF
the sufficiency of our water-woTks and the et-
hciency of the Department.

Woods, at Norfolk, Va, on May 9Th, was
received with sincere sorrow by her many
friends and admirers in this city. For num-
Der of years she had been, from time to time,
a most welcome visitor here, and was univer-
sally beloved. Always bright and cheerful
and happy, with pleasant word and kindly
smile for everyone, she diffused the sunshine
of her joyous nature to all around her. No
harsh or wounding expression ever escaped
her lips. In her warm heart was no bitter
ness, but only love and charity. She leaves
behind her sweet and precious memory Of
good deeds gently done. Through intense
suffering she has passed, purified, to that
blessed land ofrest, where there is no pain,
or night, or sorrow. After a beautiful life
may she rest in peace.
