DEFEAT!
STARES THE DEMOCRATS IN THE
FACE.
Harrison Seems to be the Winning Man.

The election returns are in suffi-
cientlv to justify the claims of the
Republicans that Harrison, the Re-
publican candidate, is elected Presi-
dent. New York gives an increas-
ed vote for Harrison over Blaine's.
and the State is conceded to have
gone Republican. Indiana, it is
claimed, has followed suit, while
Connecticut hangs in the balance.
being claimed by both parties. New
Jersey seems to be the only North
ern State that has gone Democratic.
The New York Sun and World
says Harrison has carried New York
and is elected.
Later returns report that Indiana
is claimed by both parties. Cal
ifornia and Connecticut have been
carried by the democrats. New
Jersey gave Cleveland 10000 ma
jority. New York elects Hill, dem
ocrat, Governor, and gives Harrison
plurality of 5000.
1t will probably take twenty-four
hours more to fully clear away the
mist of doubt and show the exact
status of affairs.

The little town of Ute on the Sioux City
branch OF the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st.
Paul railroad is in a terrible state of excite
ment over a series of Outfaees that have
been penetrated upon Lena Chaplin, a mem-
Der of one Of the most influential families in
the country. The case is a parallel to the
famous Emma Bond mystery of Taylorville,
III. Two weeks ago Miss Chaplin was
alone In the hous of her uncle, MIR. Ed
wards, two miles north of town. About
noon two men called and asked for dinner.
They came in to wait while something was
prepared for them and Immediately seized
Miss Chaplin, and, under the threat of death,
tried to max her tell where her uncle kept
his money. Failing in this they took her TO
an adjoining shed and tied heTiu a cruel man
ner and left her gagged until she was dlscoy-l
FRED several hours afteTward. An attemptwas
made to abduct her When she stepped to
the back door she was seized by the same
two men and was being carried of when sac
managed to give a half-strihed scream that
brought the assistance of her uncle and
Nhree hired men. Her abductors escaped
without recognition. Recently there was a
stock and grain sale on the Edwards farm,
and there were five hundred men present,
who were given a barbecue dinner. At 6
o'clock Miss Chaplin started To return a bas4
ket of dishes borrowed of a neighbor a quar-
ter Of a mile away. Immediately after leav-
ing the house she was seized by the same
men and carried nearly a mile up the creek,
where the scoundrels shamefully abused her
in their Efforts to make her tell where
Edwards had put the money and the notes
Of the days sale. Failing they gagged
her and tied her to the roots of n
tree under the overbanging bank of the
creek. When she was missed and search
commenced the broken dishes and the foot
prints of the men who had dragged her away
led to her discovery. The young lady is
highly intelligent, and has been teaching
school for the last two years. She is accom-.
pished and well educated. Her uncle offers
heavy rewards for the arrest of her assault
ants. Four hundred men are securing the
country for them.

Two well-dressed men of dark compilation
were observed standing in front ofCooper lnsti
tute New York. They were talking in anima-
ted Italian and gesticulated freely. William
GarFitty, who was standing near saw the
two men scuttiing. Garritty suspected that
the men were drunk and did not give par
ticular attention to them. The scufiie
ended in the stolter of the two staggering
toward the larger of two poles onef for electric
light and the other for telegraph wires near
the curbstone. G~arritty did not suspect
that the man was hurt until he steadied him
self against thelarger pole and sat or rather
collapsed and sat on the curhstone directly
in front OF the pole against which he leaned
with his face %upturned. The other man
walked away.

The wound in his breass was an inch wide.

carried several ladies diamond rings in his
pocket, besides S1I242 in cash. He wore a

A Birds Nest in a Bottle.

A correspondent of Nature de-
scribes a curious freak of a pair of
linnets in preparing a home and rails
ing their brood.
They selected as their nest-building
and other parental operations the in
terror of a Maltese water bottle, hung
against a brick wall at the back of
the house of Captain G. Wood, and
in a sort Of half yard half garden.
The bottle is of porous ware, ten
inches high, sever inches wide at it's
broadcast part, which is midway be-
tween the bottom of the neck and the
base, and having an upright con-
stricted neck four inches long and on
ly one and n quarter inches in diam
eter on the inside. In this singular
receptacle the birds contentedly
built, laid their eggs, and successfully
reared their brood. The next year,
strange to say, the same pair, or
one identically like them, returned
to the old haunt, deity repaired and
slightly added to the nest, laid their
eggs, and soon had a vigorous proge-
ny offive orsix uniedged youngsters.
How the birds came in the first in
stance to select such a shelter, seeing
that they could only pass in or out
with folded wings, and by "a sort of
dart, and that to enter the neck from
within in this way must have been a
task of considerable skill and no lit
tie difficulty, is a mystery.

ILLEGAL Railroad T.rims

also aid that he had ordered Tariff No. 81
in force in place of them to apply
to all points as far west as the ninety
seventh meridian. which means the
Missouri river. The tariffs declared Illegal
are commodity tariffs, made for the benefit
of the manufactures in this way The trans

vessels going from New York to the Pacific
coast, and considered themselves justified in
making rates from New York lower than
from intermediate points in order to
meet the water competition. But they
made a set of commodity tariffs for the ben
Gift Of manufacturers only. Low rates were
made to apply at points only where the com

featured in New York the rates to the Pacific
