 All Ills own Property as Security.
 CLEVELAND. Nov. 12.-ThOmas Axworthy. the defau1ting city treasurer who left town $4S0, ,000 short in his accounts and with $150, 900 of stolen money in his valise wrote to Mayor Babcock from Montreal, October 29, offering to make all the restitution he can to the city. He says: "I shall have to remain in some part of the dominion for perhaps all the time for the following reasons: went East October for the purpose of collecting large sums loaned by me on call from time to time during the last four years lat the suggestion of prominent Cleveland parties). I have been receiving the interest regularly but greatly to my sur prise and horror. when demanded the prin- cipaI was answered "we can not pay it-in fact, it would have been impossible for us to have done so within four months after we had made the loans," etc. In fact investiga- ton proved such to be the case, although l supposed the perties to be wo.th millions. I need not dwell on this matter; in fact cannot. You will know from the position occupied in your community how my situation must affect me or any other man that has always been strictly honest to the letter, thus overwhelmed by circum- stances which when too late he finds he cannot control. There was combination to ruin me and it has succeeded. am properly and deservedly perhaps the sufferer and an exile. I am not writing you, how ever, in attenuation of my criminal care 1essnes and consequent misery, but writing you as the executive of the city of Cleveland to advise you that as far as in my power lies desire to make amends by turning over my entire property, real and personal, for the benefit of the city or my bondsmen."
 Axworthy gives list of his assets, which includes stocks, bonds, notes, houses, land and vessel property. He estimates that they are worth $379, 700 and says they willipay all his liabilities. He empowers the mayor to act as his attorney in the transfer of all the property.

AnEIaefIon Puzzle.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-A curious eompli- crtion has arisen in regard to the official returns from one district of Prince George county. After the votes were counted one of the judges through ignorance put the tally sheet into the ballot box and locked it up. The law forbids the box to be re-opened unless there is contest, and how to legally secure the official returns the judges of the district are puzzled to know. The difficulty was finally solved by reading the returns through the box, which luckily were transparent. There fig ures give Compton, the Democratic candidate, plurality of one vote.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The indications point to Republican majority of from five to seven in the next House of Representa- tives. There is still doubt about West Vir- ginia and California. The Democrats may have elected Thompson in the First dist rict of California. This would reduce the major ity, otherwise appearing to be seven, to five; the Democrats three to four in West Virginia. MT. Breckenridge of Kentucky figures out Republican majority of from one to three. There seems to be no room for doubt that the Republicans will organize the House. The Star to day, figuring on this basis, prints a table giving the Republicans 166 and the Democrats 159 in the Fifty-first Congress.

plaza was constructed of wooden masts,
reeds, ETC.. and the majority OF the people
escaped without injury. But many wom-
en- and children jumped from the top. a
distance OF 200 to 800 feet, and over 100
OF them were seriously wounded. Fifty
persons, in escaping, were knocked down
and trampled upon by the panic.
stricken throng, and are very seriously,
but not fatally, injured. The bulls. mad
dened by the roaring OF the flames, broke
loose from their stalls and rushed wildly
through the surging mass OF humanity,
tossing aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way. Nine dead bodies. in
some cases being SO charred as to be UNI
recognizable, have been taken from the
smoking ruins. Nine persons were
SO badly burned that they died.
This makes eighteen deaths. Sixty.
eight persons were very badly burned
and at least ten OF them will die.
In the Celaya jail were number OF pris.
-oners, army deserters, etc., who had OBJ
tanned permission from the authorities to
attend the bull fight. They were accom-.
panied by q strong guard OF soldiers to
prevent escape, but one OF the deserters
surreptitiously struck match and lighted
one the dry mats, and in an instant the
''sol" side OF the ring was ablaze. In the
confusion and excitment the prisoners es.
capped. The best society OF Celaya was in
attendance.

had done their combined work against

daughters and son-in.law stood by help.

Jacob Sharp was born OF poor parents
in Montgomery county, N. Y, in 1877. He
passed his boyhood and early manhood
in Troy and soon identified himself with
horse railroading. Then he speculated in
logs and timber and finally built docks
on the water fronts. He constructed
numerous street railroads in New
York and finally carried through his
pet scheme OF thirty years and the
face railroad. His efforts in this direc.
tion are pretty well known. He struggled
for years before the legislature until finally
he got his scheme through. Then he ap.
piled to the notorious board OF aldermen
Of 1884 for a franchise and secured it.
Numerous investiga tions followed, all but
two OF the aldermen were indicted, several
were convicted and finally Sharp himself
was tried ior bribery and was convicted
nearly a year ago.

We have learned with a peculiar pleasure

that away in the back unknown obscurity
OF the past it was the unknown race that
succeeded and captured Ohio, and that it
was the short.headed race that were driv.

OF the race who made the first settlement we
must remember that not only the country
now known as Ohio was involved, but it
was the old Northwest Territory, extend
