Both Parties Claim the state. hut Everybody
Knows Ohio Is all right for Harrison.
CoLUMBUs, o., Nov. .5.-The claims OF
the two State Committees as to the re-
suit in this State are very far apart, each
claiming it for its own candidates by u
big plurality. Both statements have
been given out for several days without
change and are said to be based on n
careful poll Of the State. The Republi-
cans claim gain Of two Congressman,
making total Of seventeen out oftwen-
ty.one. Their figures on the general re-
suit are a plurality Of $1,000. Their
gains OF Congressman are expected
from the Seventh and Twenty
first districts, while they are not yet
ready to conCede the election OF DEM
ocratic Congressman in the Fifth and
Thirteenth. They give the Prohibi-
tionists vote OF thirteen thousand,
which is IN increase OF five thousand
over four years ago. Tonight no one
in authority is to be seen Mt the Demo-
cratic headquarters, but the statement
given out several days ago was that the
Democrats would have a plurality OF
thirteen thousand in the State and would
gain six Congressman, making their
representation in the next Congress
twelve instead Of six rs at present.

Special DispGich to the Intaligsaeer.
RIrcnIE, G. H., W. Va, Nov. 5.-The
Register cock and bull story about G. E.
Davis created no sensation, as the mat
ter has been spread below in the aflida-
Wit OF Mr.. Davis. The fact OF the case is,
Davis was always a Democrat and is
working against Judge Stealy on per.
sonal grounds.
State Of West Virginia, County0f Richie:
Before the undersigned authority,
personally appeared Q. G. Davis, and
being duly sworn, on oath says that he
has read the circular issued by Greed
Collins, headed "Fraud;" that what is
stated in the affidavit OF o. D. PriChard
is not true, but the truth is that he gave
the said Prichard the sum OF five dollars
to pay him for time devoted in working
for 4. p. Jacobs and others; that he
never said to the said Prichard that he
had five hundred dollars to spend FOL
the Republican party or for any other
purpose; that he never mentioned to
the said Prichard the question of whisky
and any statement beyond this or seek
ing to create the impression of fraud is
wholly and absolutely false.

OVER ELEVEN THOUSAND

for the Democratic electoral ticket.
Should this be the result it would mean
the carrying of the State by the Repub-
llcans. It is confidently predicted that
their ticket will come to the Harlem
river with between $4,000 and GO,OO0
plurality, which will give the Republic
can ticket n plurality OF between fifteen
and eighteen thousand in this State.
There was great deal of betting in Wall
street to-day, and one wager OF ten thou
sand dollars even was made and covered
that Harrison would be elected. n

yue, La, which illustrates the strait
graphy of this formation:

It is clear that Bossier parish is one
of the most promising districts of the
iron region of the two States, not
only for the number and size of ore
deposits, but for the opportunities
afforded for scientific investigation.
1t is one of the richest agriculturally.
Besides the large tracts of good up
lands, already passed in review, it
contains much alluvial soil upon Red
river and the bayous. The extreme
southern portion, not included III
these river bottoms, has the mammil
lated surface indicative of the Mans
field formations. Lake Bisteneau
and Lake Bodcau are themselves
studies. The eastern banks of both
the lakes and of the Bayous Bodcau
and Dorcheat are high and the western
are low. From Bayou Dorcheat and
Lake Bistineau there is a wide slop
ing plain rising slowly to the bluffs
of Lake Bodcau.
Similarly, from Bodcau lake, there
slowly arises another long incline to
the crescent of red hills described,
which reach from Collinsburg to
Rocky Mount.
All the region, where not cleared
for agricultural purposes, is densely
timbered with the usual varieties of
oak and hickory. In the northern
part much of the forest gvowth is
excellent pine (Pinus mitis) similar
to that on the corresponding hills Of
Marion and Cass counties, Texas, and
in like manner undergoing rapid
destruction for lumber only, with a
loss of at least half, which might be
utilized for the manufacture of char
coal.

Obituary.

Died, in Bellevue. La, on Satur-
day, June 16, 1888, ALEXANDER
GEORGE MURFF, infant son of Mr..
A. j. and Mrs. NJ. G. Murff; aged
s months and 9 days.
Again we stand in the presence
of death. And what shall we say
of the dead? What can we say to
soothe the anguish Of those who
mourn j? awe know how vain it is
to guild grief with words"-we
also know that the heart Graves SYM
pathy in the hour of its sorrow and
@yet our pen wanders about for
words to bridge the gulf of anguish.
Baby" is gone. What a world of
feeling is wrapped up in that small
word-"Baby." To father and
mother it represents pearl without
price-a treasure as boundless as
the limits of love. A flower has
been cut down in the very budding
of its life-gathered by Angel hands
when its development was sweetest
and fairest, and those who trained
and loved it best, are now left with
nothing but the cherished memory
of it's beauty and fragrance. A
'baby crib" is empty. now which
only few days ago contained all of
earth's most treasured gifts. A
narrow house on yonder hill con-
tains the jeweled casket of the
hearts most precious pearl. But
above all these is the cherished
memory of a jewel: dearer and fairer
to fathers and mothers hearts than
all else on earth.
