THE TALK OF LONDON.
Tory Success at Colchester Discounted
The National Liberal Club Safe.


The National Liberal Club Safe.
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 19.-The result of the Col
chester election yesterday was not unexpected
A novel feature of the contest was that several
members Of the Reform club, which is still
nominally liberal, visited the spot and can
vassed for the tory candidate. Like Win
chester and most of the small country towns
spared by the redistribution act, Colchester is
shown to be increasingly tory, although the
election leaves the balance of parties unaf-
fected. Brooke, the new member, is an amia-
bic, popular young landlord A few years ago
he married wealthy lady named Maynard, the
beauty of one or two London seasons. He re-
ceived much assistance from her during the
election. Brooke formerly sat for short Pc
riod in the house of commons for East Somer-
set but never spoke.
Nextmonth over 200 members will be elected to
he National liberal club, which is now thought
to have weethered the storm raised by Harting-
tons withdrawal. Among the new members
will be the Earl Russell. son of the eccentric
Lord Amberley, and grandson Of the statesman
whose title he inherits.
A new organ of volapuk is published in Lon
don called Neaoel Fdenick or Unioe5sdi Messenger,
containing articles partly in volapuk and partly
in English.

FOR KILLING HIS son.
John Myers Doremus Hanged at Hack.
ensack This Morning.

HAcKENsACK, n. j., Dec. ls.-John Myers
Doremus was hanged in the corridor of the
Bergen county jail this morning for the muir
der of his son, John Bogert Doremus, on June
10th last. The condemned man seem
ingly resigned to his fate. Rev. Messrs. Noor-
hees and Walcott, his spiritual advisers, were
with him yesterday afternoon and last
evening. Doremus professed his readiness
to die, and said he did not wish for .
wife. Mrs. Hester Doremus and their thirteen
year-old daughter Fanny, who came on from
Elkhart Ind, in the early part of the month,
were with the condemned man several hours in
the afternoon. They left him at $40 O'Clock,
after an affecting parting scene. Doremus
bore up well. but burst into tears when the
door closed behind his sobbing wife and daugh-
ter. The latter after reaching Sheriff Dems-
rests Office, ran back to kiss her father again.
"Good-bye, Pet" cried her father; ''be a good
girl and take care of mother" The two ex-
changed passionate kisses as they separated for
the last time. Doremus did not sleep well last
night, and at 6 O'Clock he donned the usual
new suit of clothes. The gallows was erected
in the easterly corridor OF the jail, in what il
known as the male prison" 1t was the same
that was used at the hanging of Sanford Sisco
on June 5, 1885.
The crime for which Doremus suffered was
one of peculiar atrocity, and was the culmina-
ton of q series which wrecked what otherwise
might have been O happy home. Doremus
was ffty-two years old and a stone mason and
a bricklayer by trade. Drink was his ruin and
brought him 80 low that it was hard for him to
secure work. He abused his family shamefully,
and on the evening Of June l6 last, in at Of
rage, threw q pitcher Of water on his wife. The
son threatened TO have his father arrested,
when the latter picked up big bread knife
lying on the table and stabbed the boy to the
heart

HARRISON'S SOUTHERN CALLERS
They Want to Start a New Political PARTY

THE POLITICAL MUDDLE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
White Gaps Appear at a New Spot.
An Investigation i'm kanawha County
Will Reveal Some Curious Tn ings.

Will Reveal Some Curious Tn ings.
Special Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. l9.-The action Of
the Kanawha county commissioners in certify
ing the returns as announced yesterday, in the
face of an injunction granted against their
doing SO. will not only result in their arrest
for contempt Of court, but probably afford
some sensational developments in political
circles. According to the vote as claimed by
the republicans McGinnis should have l6
plurality in the district. The official vote in
the county is claimed to be McGinnis, 4,46s;
Anderson, 3,123. A change Of nine votes to
Anderson would insure plurality for him in
the district. Mr.. Thomas j. Rockey,
one OF the canvassers for Charleston
precinct has over his own name
published card in which he says: In the Of
fetal canvass of the vote we found the name of
Gen. Goff scratched only once. and the fact
was noted by one Of the commissioners. In
the recount am informed that the name of
Gen. Gof was scratched fourteen times and the
name of Judge Fleming substituted. though
the box containing the ballots was sealed and
placed in the hands OF the county clerk, as re-
quired by law
''All the commissioners and canvassers of the
precinct stated in their examination before the
county court that the box was in good condi-
tIon when delivered to the county clerk. On
examination Of the box it was found that the
bottom had been pried of and one of the boards
split. The marks of the instrument used to
pry off the bottom were distinct and the split
Of the board corresponded with the direction
of the pressure
The democrats are making counter charges,
and some queer developments are expected
when the matter is properly sifted
As the time for the meeting Of the legisla-
ture approaches the democratic candidates for
Senator increase. There are some strange ru-
mors floating around. 1t is said and believed
by many that Gov. Wilson is working for and
hoping to prove a successful dark horse.

THE sTREET-ExTENsIoN BILL
t'BLIND" PATTERSON'S CASE.
1t Is Still Causing Pension Officials More
or Less Worry.

A rather curious legal question is perplexing
the minds of some of the officials of the pen
SION office. 1t grows out Of the case which is
known as that Of 'Blind Patterson" For the
past six or seven years it has been before the
office in various shapes, and two years ago it
was supposed to have been settled. At least
the claimant, Patterson. received pension for
total blindness, a disability incurred while in
the service. The pension for total blindness is
the largest regular pension paid, being S72 per
