CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 4.-The
campaign in Ohio closed tonight, and
while the enthusiasm has not been very
great. the managers Of both parties have
been active. 1t is thought that
Governor Foraker will be scratched
by the Republicans, who do not
believe in three consecutive terms.
On the other hand, it is thought
Campbell will not poll the full vote Of his
party. because he is not regarded as be-
ing in line with ex-P President Cleveland's
policy of tariff reform. In reviewing the
situation the Leader (Republicsn) will
say that within the past week the situation
has materially frightened for the Repub-
licans all over the State. News of the
active part the National Liquor Dealers
Association is taking to elect Campbell,
has aroused the Republicans. Prospects
are for heavy vote on the Western Re-
serve, and it means q Republican
vic ory.
The Plaindsaler (Dem.) will cay
'The Democrats have made q vigorous
fight against great odds. They have
put the Republicans to confusion,
and if they but stand by
their guns as manfully tomorrow as they
have battled thus far, they will secure
the Governor and Legislature; this will
secure United States Senator.

The Danger OF overhead wires once
More Demonstrated.
NEW York, November 4.-The electric
light current this morning roasted q
horse to death, threw the driver to the
street and knocked police sergeant
senseless. The deadly current was car
ried to it's victims through telephone
wire. A big pole, carrying numberless
wires, stands on Fourth avenue near the
corner of Twenty-eighth street. Some
time this morning one of the wires, q
telephone line, fell to the street and
formed loop across the down track of
the Fourth-avenue railroad. Soon after
it fell, Thomas Whelan, driver of Her.
aid delivery wagon, came along,
The horse stepped on the wire and in
stantly came to halt, and then sprang
aside and fell. The jolt to the vehicle
threw Whelan to the street, and when
he arose to his feet he received shock
which threw him PROSTATE into the
gutter. Regaining bis feet again the
driver undertook to raise the horse, but
as soon as he touched the animal an
other shock passed through him. He
then comprehended the cause, and lay
still.
Citizens attracted to the scene noticed
a flash of blue flame emitting from the
PROSTATE animal. Flashes from all parts
of the horse's body and the smell Of
burning flesh were perceptible half
block away. Whalen was assisted to
his feet, but the horse was given wide
berth.
The police established guard at
points sufficiently far from the roasting
animal to warn wayfarers from nearing
the fatal spot. Sergeant Macdonald
came in contact with the wire and fell
to the pavement senseless. Roundsman
Cassidy went to his rescue, and when he

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD I
DENVER, COL, November 4.-One of the
results of the terrible blizzard which
swept over Eastern Colorado and North
ern New Mexico Thursday and Friday of
last week reached here today from Fol-
som, N. M. Thursday night Henry
Miller, the range foreman for Colonel R..
g. Head, with several cowboys, camped
near the Rio Grande with 1900 beef
cattle. which they were holding for the
purpose ofloading on cars at Folsom next
day for the eastern markets. At 4
O'Clock that morning blizzard from the
northwest struck the herd, driving the
cattle towards the Panhandle of Texas,
the cowboys being unable to hold them.
Though the snow was so binding that it
was impossible to see fifty feet ahead,
Miller called his men together and they
started to follow the herd and attempt
to keep them punched as far as possible.
1t is not known how long the men sue
ceeded in keeping with the maddened
herd, but they finally lost it and became
separated. Friday night one of them
wandered into Heads home ranch, half
dead with cold and hunger. He told his
story and rescuing party Immediately
set out, and Saturday afternoon the
frozen bodies of Henry Miller and Joe
Martin and Charlie jolly were found
lying on the open plains, not far from
Tucson. The other men succeeded in
finding their way into camp before being
overcome with cold.
Miller had been foreman for Col. Head
for twelve years, and came here from
Louisiana. 1t is not known where Mar
tin and jolly were from.

How Nebraska Will Vote.

OMAHA, Neb., November 4.-The cam
paign in this State has been remarkably
quiet even for an off year. The only
State offices to be filed are those Of
Judge of the Supreme bench and two
Regents of the State University. Owing
to the dissatisfaction Of the anti-monopol-
lists over the defeat of Judge Reese for re-
nomination, it is probable that the Republi-
can majority Of the head of the ticket will
be reduced somewhat. Chairman Rim
cards, of the Republican State Commit
tee, expects an old time majority, while
Chairman McShane, of the Democratic
Committee, is confident that the Repub.
lican majority will be reduced, especially
in the larger cities. Iu the second Con-
gressional district Laws, Republican, will
Be elected, but by considerably re.

PASSENGERS FRIGHTENED.
Another Attempt made to Wreck
the Oregon Express.


SACRAMENTO, November A few
minutes past O'Clock this morning a
bold attempt was made to wreck the
south-bound Oregon express just after it
had left Live Oak, a small station be-
tween Marysville and Gridley. There is
a switch on this side of the station and
the engineer fortunately slowed down to
cross. The engine struck an obstruction
and the passengers received quite
sharp shaking up. Investigation showed
that three bars of railroad iron had been
placed across the track. Only slight
damage was done to the locomotive.
There was no one in sight, and it is pre-
sumed the crime was committed in
spirit of malice. When the passengers
heard what had happened they expected
every minute to see the doors open and
train robbers rush in.
