pie by His strength
Philadelphia Eeco,d.
Philadelphia can boast of a modern
Hercules in the person Of George Sept
man, giant in muscle and status. He
stands 6 feet inches in his stockings,
measures so inches around his chest and
weighs 273 pounds, scarcely an ounce OF
which is superfuous flesh. His proper
lions are admirable, and he has amazed
many an athletic expert by his displays
OF strenth.
SOptman recently paid a short visit to
gymnasium on Arch street and gave ON
exhibition of what he could do. The
pupils eyed him cuIioualy when he picked
up the 100-pound dunlb-bell and twirled
it between his fingers as dude might do
with bamboo cane.
When he stretched out his ..srms and
esked all who possibly could do SO to
Jump on his back, arms, shoulders and
head to take ride, eight sturdy and
strong men complied with the request,
and holding on to his ears, hair aud collar
button, they bore their weight upon him.
He carried them without much difficulty,
and the gymnasts who saw the perform
ance were almost inclined to think con
tenptuously Of their own comparatively
puny phyaiques.
Not satisfied with this the young giant
went TO tho strengthening scales and
pulled up the 1000 pound weight with
ease. he then wrapped two straps
around his shoulder and back, and, fas.
teuing the ends to $500 pounds Of iron

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. z. While interest
In the returns are feveriah, probably the
coolest and apparently least interested
man in the city was Judge Thurman, who
spent his time In tho way he has done for

the result, and had not been paying much
attention to the particulars Of the cleo
tion. Being asked for IN expression Of
his opinion he said he had nothing to say.
The two state committees are still re-
ceiving returns from the state, and figur-
Ing up the gains and Losses. The tepub-
licans ore claiming plurality OF from
% 900 to $4,000, and place their estimate
on more or Less complete returns from
about hnlt the counties in the state. On
the other hand, the Democratic com.
mittee says that complete or CONSERVE

LONDON, Nov. S.-The usual banquet
to the cabinet ministers was given al the
Guild Hall this evening Lord Salisbury
delivered long speech. He denied that
tho government had yielded 10 their op-
ponents on the question of policy. Thay
were never more resolute or confident in
advancing policy which they honestly
beiisved they could successfully sxseute.
England hsd perhaps noticad that popll-
ias Institutions existed TO the westward.

1t appeared that all the rulers had an
earnest and intense desire to maintain
the peace of Europe. The Premier
trusted that they would continue in their

He Will Make Ills Next Message
still More vigorous.
WAsHINdroN, NOV. THE President
and Mrs. Cleveland ere calm and cheer
full under the untavorable news which
has been coming TO the White House for
the past "a hours. The salute fred by some
oyerenthusiastic Republicans just south
OF the White House this afternoon shook
all the windows, hut did not disturb the
President or his wife. They saw callers
to. day, and oonversed freely with them
about the returns, which surprised them.
The President had confidentially expected
New York and Indiana to 60 Democratic,
as we'll as Nav Jersey and Connecticut,
and Mrs. Cleveland had shared this ex-
psctation; but they accepted the situa-
ton of defeat very oouraseously.
The President said this afternoon that
he was satisfied that the governor md oil
the other Democrats In New York had
done their best to elect the national as
we'll as the state ticket, Ii the national
ticket has been defeated In New York
state II was chiefly due, he thought, &c
the mayoraity contest in New York City,
and TO the fact that time had not served
70 fully educate the people on the tariff
question. Behind that stood the improper
use Of money by the Republican mana
gers and of INFLUENCE by Republican
monopolists employing large numbers o.
workingmen. He said emphatioally thai
this election would mot, even II II should
finally result In the elsction OF Harrison,
seriously rstard the progress OF tarif re-
form. s'Ths people," he said, "have
begun to think about that question as
they have not done before since the war
and they will not rest until they effect
the desired reform. II cannot be stopped
now"
The President will make his tariff re
form message to Congress next month al
the more vigorous for the course OF the
election. OF course, Congress WILL DC
nothing this wintey. -

KANsAs Cry, Mo-, Nov. 10.--A Journal
special from Pittsburg, Kan, says: The
most dreadful disaster in the history Of
Kansas occurred OF O'Clock, yesterday
afternoon, when the men were preparing
to leave off their work at Shaft No. 2, OF
FronteBnc, suburb OF Pittsburg.
terrible explosion was heard that shook
the earth for great distance, and com
pletely shattered the shaft. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that 160 men were
within the mine at the time OF the explo-
sion.
Being 112 feet below the surface, it ia
almost certain that all are dead al thia
writing. The only exceptions were two
men who were in Car coming up, and
being near the top Of the shaft managed
to escape.
Pittsburg is in the middle of the coal
mines of Southeastern Kansas and ia
about 100 miles south of Kansas City on

time, and violent quaIrela were frequent.
The woman was net OF perfeotly sound

an unusually angry dispute over trivial
matter and the wife ssizing an axe as
tackled her husband murderously. He
attempted to ward off the blows, hut the
woman, rendered nnnaturally strong
through excitement, pursued him through
the house hacking repeatedly aud finally
telling him TO The floor dead. Mrs.
Brown has been arrested and will be ex.
amined as to her sanity.

ALMOST A MURDER !
One Business Man of Phillipsburg
Shoots Another.

On Wednesday evening about ten
o'clock, the people residing near the
northwest corner Of the square were
startled by six reports from a revol-
yer. Investigation revealed the fact
that Geo. Dill, who keeps a bakery
in that vicinity had shot and danger
ously wounded j. G. Latsbaugh, the
well known merchant. Six shots
were fired but only one struck Lats-
baugh. That entered his leg below
the hip and the ball ran downward
and around the bone to the knee.
The ball has been extracted by Doc
tors Carman and Brothers. It is a
dangerous wound. Dill was promptly
arrested and jailed. The current re-
ports are that Dill was on one of his
insanely drunken sprees, and that he
was abusing his wife threatening to
kill her. Latsbaugh came along past
his place of business and went in when
Dill began firing at him as he turned
to run. There are many reports in
circulation about the affair but when
traced to their source have been seen
to be unfounded.
The above seems to be the main
points In the case. The public sym
Pathy seems to be almost if not en-
tirely for Mr. Latsbaugh. One re-
port is that Dill is Jealous of his wife
but we could find no one who believ-
ed that he has any cause for such
jealousy. Profound sympathy is felt
and expressed for Mrs. Latsbaugh
who since her residence here has
made many warm friends. At this
writing Latsbaugh is under the in
huence Of Opiates.
