Ing Result of the Elections
In the Four States.

The first reports Of tho result OF the
elections in tho four new States are
more than verified. The majorities for
tbe Republican ticket arc greater than
were predicted by tho most sanguine
prophets. Iu South Dakota tue capital
question overshadowed everything
else, aud candidates Of both par
ties were traded for votes for the
various cities running for tenn
porary seat. Only tho official
returns will decide the Guberpatorial
contest in Montana. Both parties claim
the election Of the State tickets and the
Republicans have elected the Congress
man. Prohibition has probably carried In
South Dakota. Tariff was the main Issue
in all the States and tho result is q grand
triumph for Republican doctrines, par
tIcularly when it is considered that they
arc all agricultural communities.

DIR. McCosh Expresses Ills Views ON the
Revision of the Westminster Confession
of Faith,
New YoRK, Oct. 2.-The Presbytery
OF New Brunswick, at it's annual meet
ing in New Brunswick, N. j., yesterday
discussed the proposed revision Of the
Westminster confession OF faith. The
New Brunswick Presbytery embraces in
It's boundaries Princeton College and
Seminary and the members Of the faCul.
ties Of both were present in force 10 take
part In the discussion. Ex.President
AIcCosh expressed himself wholly in
favor OF revision.
"There Is danger" he said, ''in stir.
ring up this matter, but there is more
danger In ignoring 1t or postponing II.
The movement 10 favor oil revision has
been pushed very earnestly by the
young men, and II will as surely be
pushed in the future. Revision seems
likely to come and II 1t must come, 1t Is
better that there should be no hesitancy,
but that the movement should be guided
by the older aud more conservative
men and guided Courageously and open
ly."
The Presbytery replied In the negative
to the overture OF the General Assembly,
asking whether 1t favored a revision oI
the Confession, thirty.four delegates
against revision, and sixteen for 1t.

The Council Committee on Claims
held two meetings yesterday. The first
was in the morning when the members
took trip to First street 10 view the
property Of John G. Haberfleld, which
he claims has been damaged to the
amount Of $500 by the wash OF surface
water from another street, caused by
certain improvements made by the city,
aud which amount he wants the city 70
pay TO him. Last night the committee
met In Clerk Thonef's Office 10 consider
what TO recommend 10 Council. Solici.
tor White was present and read some
law bearing on the case, the substance
Of which was that the city was not liz.
BILE In this instance even supposing that
damage had been done. The committee
expressed itself as being OF the opinion
that the property In the first place was
not worth q large portion Of $500, and
decided 10 recommend to Council that
the petition be rejected. This may lead
TO a lawsuit and the settlement Of some
legal points the city Is interestedin.

party their part Of the organization
which was founded on the will OF the

5. He has driven from the counsels OF
the party the ablest and most popular
men in 1t.
0. He has removed county chairmen
In order to pack conventions to do his
will.
7. He has tried to force the unit rule

OTTAWA, LIS, 0cti2.-John Funk de.
clhred in the Probate Court ON February
l5, 1887, that he was tho sole heir and
legatee Of Elizabeth B. F. Reddick, but
1t is now charged that he did SO with the
intent and purpose Of defrauding bis
half sisters children out OF nearly Sl7O,.
900. This allegation Is the substance Of
a3petition filed in the Circuit Court. The
heirs ut law OF Margaret Mohr, OF Dun
Rnehtino, Germany, through their at.
t0rneys, say that II was not until August
Of 1887, that they learned that Elizabeth
q f. Reddick, heir Of the late William
Reddick, and the half sister OF their
mother, had died. Then John Weisling,
a farmer living at Reading, who was al
that time travelling in Germany, inform.
ed them that she had died, leaving a
large estate, which was almost worth.
less. He offered them 5000 In full set
tlement, but at length In November they
accepted 81 1900 as full settlement, sup.
posing the estate to be small. In the
that he was the only hClr.at.iaw, had an
administrator appointed. BY degrees
h0 urged a final settlement until this
was granted in November OF the same
year, he then pocketed, 1t is alleged,
deeds and notes to the amount Of So, 600.
The Mohrs living in Germany did not
learn the true state Of affairs, they say,
until this year.

Mike Kelly, the high priced star II

he was intoxicated, and that whisky
was the cause Of his disgracetul actions
which took place Just at the beginning
OF the seventh inning, Kelly was n

coat on the bench OF the Cleveland
players, and made protane comments on
the game as It progressed, When Cleve,
land was three runs ahead, he ventured
10 inform the members OF his club In Q
loud tone OF voice that they couldn't
win, "You never Win,n said he with
characteristic modesty, "when ] can't
play, Kelly Is king, I'm q king"
In Boston's half OF the sixth Richard
son was touched out at the plate, Kelly
did not like Umpire McQlaile's decision
and when the inning Was over strobe
toward McQuside with blazing eye and
inhamed face, He told the umpire that
he had come west TO rob Boston OF the
pennant and at the same time drew back
his fist to strike McQualde. Two police,
men sprang into the field and grappled
with Kelly, who drew away and made for
McQuaide again. The officers took tile
pugilist in hand, however, and after
choking him tribe to subdue his un-
tanned spirit dragged him through the
