Where the Work Was Done.

epecfaI TO The Indianapolis Journai
GORDON, Nov. 12-For some time previous
to the election the Republicans Of southern In
diana were considerably irritated by the
claims Of Democratic papers that
the ''Greshsmites' would knife General
Harrison. The election returns show
that instead OF knitting him they cut Cleve-
lands majority Of 1884 down fully one-third.
Harrison county, the old home Of Gen. Gresham,
only gave Cleveland a majority of 1896.
whereas it gave him 623 in 1884.
Floyd and Crawford counties also reduced
their Democrats majoritiss largely. In fact,
the counties bordering on the Ohio river gave
Indiana to General Harrison. The Republicans
in northern and eastern Indiana seemed to have
the enthusiasm, yet the effective work was done
elsewhere.

WRECK OFF BRANFoRD.
All Saved Hut the Captain-En the
 Blizzard.


 Blizzard.
 Lewis Smith of West Haven, son of Cap tain Charles Smith, walked in from Bran ford yesterday afternoon. He relates a sing ular story. He says the two-masted schoon- CT Harold c. Beecher, from New London, was blown on to the Branford reefs and wrecked Smith left New Haven the latter part of last week for New York, and there he says he bearded the schooner Harold c. Beecher, and left that city at f o'clock Sun day morning bound for New London, with cargo of coal When off Norwalk the storm first struck them. They proceeded along in the storm until the wind blew the schooner on to thereefs. The crew of five got into 8 small boat in order to sget ashore. The captain, whose name was Everett, hail. ing from Maine, went back into the cabin to get some papers. The wind was so furious that the crew did not dare to wait longer for him and so they pulled away. When near the shore the waves dashed the boat so high that it capsized. The five men swam ashore. It is quite possible that Smith did not know the locality that he was mis- taken about the schooners going on to the Branford beacon, but that it probably grounded on Clam Island reef, for it is not at all probable that little boat could ever live in furious sea for five miles. Smith says that the waves were rolling so high that no attempt was made to save the captain. The wind had taken away both masts, and the last he saw of the vessel the water was going over her sides, He says it took them about two hours to get ashore. They left the boat at o'clock yesterday morning. He says that the schooner is an old one and not worth much.
 As the wires were all down, no telephone connections could be had with Branford last night to find out anything about the crew. Smith says it was miracle how their lives were spared The two hours getting ashore seemed two weeks. Every minute it seemed as if they would surely sink.
