richmond, May 27.-The municipal
elections throughout tbs state today re-
suited in serious losses for the Democrats
in Richmond and Stauuton. and gains in
Norfolk, Danville and Lynchburg In
| Petersburg the result of the election is
so close, at last accounts, as to require a
official count. In Richmond the indie
pendent ticket, made up of Knights of
Labor and Republicans, has carried the
day. The latest returns show that for
the first time in fifteen years Richmond
city has received a shock in the defeat
of the regular city Democratic ticket
At the recent Democratic primary the
laboring men of all classes decided that
they would put out an opposition ticket
which they called the Reform ticket, ard
that ticket today secured a majority of
the city council and city sergeant. There
was no contest for mayor and prosecu.-
ing attorney. The result is to place the
control of the city in the hands of the re-
formers. The Democratic leaders ex-
hibit no little concern over this result.
Richmond's municipal affairs have been
for many years moving along placidly,
the majority of the officials being elected
year after year without contest. 1t has
been called the Democratic stronghold,
and here Malone was never, during his
flush times, able to make any inroads.
The Knights of Labor. which organiza-
ton is very strong here, engineered the

Out.
BALTIMORE, May Ell. c. Pearre

attempted felonious assault on Mrs. f.
Kirkland, who was boarder in the A.
bion Hotel. His room adjoined hers and
he walked on the coping of the roof from
the window of his room to that of hers,
through which he effected an entrance to
her room. The case was carried to the
Court of Appeals and Pearre gave bail
in 5000. The Appellate Court affirmed
the verdict, which would consign the ac-
cused to prison from two to ten yerrs
When the accused was called several
days ago to receive sentence he did not
appear and to day his bondsman paid the
Sheriff 81, 900 This is the first instance
of the collection of forfeited bail in the
history of the Criminal Court Pearre is
still to be imprisoned when found.
Matrimonial Preparations at the White
House.
Every one employed in the White
House is very reticent about the ap-
preaching marriage. There is bustling
air about the mansion, however, that
would seem to indicate that preparations
were being made for some one. The at
taches smile and are mum when they are
questioned upon the subject. Some of
them have knowing look and their
faces say what their tongues do not.
Nothing could be learned at the White
House concerning the date of the mar
riage or where it is to occurs this after
noon, but that it is to be soon is very Ger
tain. The attempts to fix the date are
said to be entire guesswork.
