Harrison Elected President without the
Vote OF New York.
New York, Nov. SAN extra edition
Of the Telefram this afternoon, says:
"The air has now cleared SO completely
that the Presidential vote can be fairly
seen. Harrison, us our friend Sam Cox
Weuld say, is thoroughly elected in
every respect So sweeping, Indeed,
has been the victory that his majority in
the electoral college will be at least G5.
He has carried not only New York, but
Indiana, Wisconsin and California by
safe majorities, according to the latest
returns. In other words he is elected
President ipitI.Oth The pOte of Nep York.
This settles tho case beyond all possible
dispute, and shows the size Of the Dem
oCratic vote.
"The White House being disposed Of.
the only other points OF interest are the
two branches Of Congress. II, as is now
claimed, the Delaware Legislatures Re-
publican on joint ballot, the Republican
party will have a working majority OF
one in the Senate without the vote OF
Vice President Morton. II West vir-
ginia is gone TO the Democrats, the mat
ter Is only worse, Of course, and this Is
not improbable. The House OF Repre-.
sentatives is remarkably close"
The Herald, Sun and World agree that
the majority in Congress is very uncer.
tain either way. The Herald figures out
majority Of two for the Democrats (l65
to 1911 on very complete returns.
The Sdr says the reports from 3lS
out OF 825 Congressional districts, give
1876 Democrats and 14s Republicans
leaving IS districts in doubt, with goot
chances OF continued Democratic con
troll Of the House Of Representatives.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. s.-A story is in
circulation in Covington, KY, that
Speaker Carlisle is to be deprived of his
certificate Of election. The ground Of
this action is the alleged illegality Of the
ballots cast for him in Campbell and
Kenton counties. It is assumed that il
these are thrown out his majority in the
district will be overcome. The Ken
tucly law, it is said, revuires that the
ballots shall be on plain white paper so,
that when the tickets were torn apart
the periorations appeared on the edges
and made them easily distinguisha BILE
from other tickets. Color is given TO the
story By the fact that the Canvassing
Boardin Campbell county is Republican.

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Nov. s.-AIarion
gives a small majority for Fleming.
Congress is In doubt and the County
Commissioner in doubt, with the
chances for small Republican majority
on each. Both Legislators are conceded
to the Democrats. The Republicans
elect the Sheriff, one Assessor and
County Surveyor. The remainder de-
pends upon Warrington precinct, and
the count at this hour is not completed.
1t may require an official recanyass
TO determine between some candidates.
The third party vote Is about IS in the
county. A Democratic Prosecuting At
torney is elected and small majority
given for Cleveland. The aggregate vote
Is largely increased over the highest pre-
vious and each party maintained nearly
the same proportion OF increase. It was
the most bitterly contested fight ever
waged in the county, and the most un-
scrupulous methods were employed by
the Democracy.

cratic majority of three, while the Phil
adelphia Times independently exactly
reverses these estimates, giving three to
the Republican party.
Mr.. Mcpherson, long the Republican
Clerk OF the House ofsRepresentatives,
estimates the Republican majority ut II,
and the Tribune accepts these figures.
The Press reaches the same result, no
doubt adopting McPherson's figures.
The Democratic losses have exceeded
the Republican ones, apparently, and
the Democrats have only n lee way Of 10
seats in the present House. While it
may take the official count to settle the
question, it looks rs il the Fifty-frst

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Nov. s.-From
nearly complete returns from all the
Congressional districts, it is believed
the Indiana delegation in Congress will
stand: Democratic 8, Republican 5, an
increase OF two for the Democrats. The
Democratic gains are in the First, Elev.
enth and Twelfth Congressional districts
Steele was defeated in the eleventh by
only 5000 votes.
General Harrison began to receive
congratulatory kilograms from New York
and the East as early as 8 o'clock on
election night. From that moment to
the present writing kilograms and let
tets have poured in upon him from every
city in the Union. The table in his
library is piled with bundles OF these
telegrams, there being fully 5000. From
the number are the following:
HEADQUARTERS INDIANA REPUBLICAN
STATE COMMITTEE, Nov. 7.-Gen. Benia-
min Harrison: Your election is gratily-
ing to your friends everywhere, and es-
pecially since you were given the sup.
port OF your own State. Personal ex-
pressions OF congratulation are made
quate TO an occasion somomentous TO the
American people, and particularly TO the
people Of Indiana. Your defeat would
have stirred our feelings and brought
home to you our sympathetic love
but your splendid victory commends
our enthusiastic admiration. The Re
publicans OF Indiana hail your coming;
you typify our patriotism and Americana
ism. We believe your administration
will mark an era Of peace, prosperity and
National development. In your hands
the interests Of capital and labor will be
equally protected.

New YoRE, Nov. S.-Thomas Multi
gan, of No. II sandford street, Brooklyn,
was last night shot in the back Just as
he was about to board First avenue
car, at Forty-iirst street, and received
probably fatal injuries. He was taken
to Bellevue Hospital and coroner was
sent for to take his ante-mortem state
ment.
Mulligan, who is married mau, aged
So years. is an engineer in the Turtle
Bay brewery, at Forty.fiftll street and
First avenue. A few months ago lie
became acquainted with Mrs. Egln, the
wife OF Patrick Egan, who lived near the
brewery. Egan and his wife could not
get along very well together, and sep
arated Il few months ago, Mrs. Egan
going to live with her mother, who is
housekeeper Mt $40 East Fortieth street.
Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening,
just as Mulligan was starting forlome,
he met Mrs. Eagan and stood awhile
conversing with her. While thus en-
gagged Eagau, who had evidently long
suspected the pair Of clandestine meet
ings, appeared on the scene and Multi
gan quickly remembered that he was
homeward bound. Mrs. Eagan started
up the avenue and Mulligan for down
town car, He had grasped the guard
rail Of the rear platform to swing himself
aboard when there was n report OF
pistol shot and at the same time Mullli-
gan fell on the pavement with the ex-
clamatiCn: "0b, Pm dead"
In the darkness Eagan, who is sup
posed TO have done the shooting, made
his escape. Mulligan's wife was tele-
graphed for and she was with the woun-
ded man when the coroner took his
statement.

A horrible tragedy was narrowly pre-
vented at the Worllhousc yesterday,
The trouble WIS all caused by party
of practical iolScrs, who wanted to sec
how a man coated with coal oil would
look running around room in a blaze
The victim was Oswald G. Allen, white
man of good education, and who has
seen better days than Yesterday, but
who is now serving ~ term FOR beng
n common drunlJard.
Allen was covered with vcrmin, and
as has been the custom of the inSiitll-
tion for years he was taken to the
basement, stripped and given u sponge
bath of coal oil which is the only sure
remedy known there for such eases.
This operation was performed under
the supervision of Ovcrsccr 5. G. Ar
mold and the spOngng was done by n
negro named Edgar Dawson When he
got through he made some such re.
mark as now lie is ready to touch
off,
Two white men, named Chns. Thomas,
alias Williams, and Patrick Kccfc, were
standing by. and ono of them threw q
lighted match at Allen, and the oil on
his skin igmtcd, and he was cnvclopcd
in flames almost instantly. When they
saw the serious nature of the act they
closed around him and huggcd him in
their arms 20 smother the flames, and
they wcrc successful, but not till Allen
was frightfully burned and they had
also suffered more or less from the flames
Intcndcnt Stnutcnburgh this morning
sworc out warrants against the two men,
Williams and kccfc, and they will be
tried for assault. Allen is in n dangerous
condition
