RETURNS BY COUNTIES.
Butte.

ORovILLE, Nov. 7.-Fifty-three pre-
cincts out of fifty.fve, give Merkham
2015; Pond, 2O92. The missing pre-
cincts will give Pond about twenty ma
jority. Blanchard has 2040; Caminetti,
1867; with seven precincts to hear from,
which will not change the majority.
Calaveras.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 7.-Returns from
Calaveras county, which is complete,
except one precinct, increase the vote
for Blanchard, R, in the Second congress
sional district, to 15,024, and Caminetti,
d, to 14,6l5. There are 124 precincts
yet to be heard from in this district.
Fresno.
FRESNO, Nov. 7--Fifty-six precincts
out of seventy in Fresno county, give
Pond for governor, a majority OF 376 over
MARKHAM. With the exception of super
intendent of schools and supervisor for
the first district, the Democrats have
carried this county. Freeman, Repub-
lican candidate for public administrator,
however, may be found to be elected
when the returns are all in. The Demo-
cratic majority in the county will vary
from so to 400.
Humboldt.
EUREKA, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE count in
Humboldt is incomplete. Forty-two
precincts give Markham plurality of
5l4; the rest of the state ticket, about
the same; Barham, 4O7 plurality.
Twelve small precincts remain to be
heard from. The result will not be
changed materially. The county is Re-
publican by reduced majority. One
assemblyman is Democrat.

A scant, Republican yictory-Pierre Gets
the Capital.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. I'm South
Dakota the Independents have conceded
the election of the Republican state
ticket, and the latest reports seem to
indicate the election of Republican
majority in the legislature, insuring the
reelection of Senator Moody. Pierre
has won the permanent capital, by from
5000 to 10000 majority, although Huron
does not concede the fact. Late today
Chairman Peemiller, of the Democratic
committee, conceded the election of
both the Republican congressman and
most of the state ticket, but claimed the
governor and enough OF the legislature
to give a majority to the Alliance and
Democrats.
SIOUX FALLS, S. d., Nov. 1.-THE Press
(Rep.) has returns showing that the en-
tire Republican state ticket is elected.
Reports from all but two senatorial and
nine representative districts, show that
the Republicans have one majority in
the senate, the house standing sixty-one
Republicans and fifty-three Democrats
and Alliance men. Thirty-one counties
out OF tifty-one give Pierre 1869 majority
for the state capital.

Two More Democratic congressman
From Illinois.

in Detail.
Associated Press Dispatches.

CHICAGO, Nov. AT last the returns
from the state of Illinois are sufficiently
complete to announce decisively the re-
suit on the state ticket. The Demo-
Gratis have won, and Edwin S. Wilson,
OF Olney is elected state treasurer by
IL ABS, and Henry Raab, of Belleville,
superintendent of public instruction, by
So, ,144. No compilations have been
made yet on the trusteeships of the Uni
versity of Illinois, but the indications
are that the three Democratic nominees
are elected by slight majority.
Not until today have the Republicans
of Illinois realized the full extent of the
avalanche which has obliterated their
old-time majority in the state. Fuller
returns today showed that in addition
to the Democratic gains heretofore an
nounced in the congressional districts,
Congressman Payson and Hill also have
been defeated, and Snow and Stewart,
Democrats, elected. Both Hill and Payson
have telegraphed the Associated Press
conceding their defeat, the former by
$50 and the latter by 800 to 700. This
makes the congressional delegation from
Illinois stand fourteen Democrats and
six Republicans. The congressman
elected are as follows: First, Taylor, r;
Second, McGann, D; Third, Burrow, d
Fourth, Newberry, d; Fifth, Hopkins,
r; Sixth. Hit, R Seventh, Henderson,
R; Eighth, Stewart, D; Ninth, Snow,
d; Tenth, Post, r; Eleventh, Gable,
D; Twelfth, Wilke, D.; Thirteenth,
Springer, d Fourteenth, Scott, d; Fif.
teenth, Busey, D; Sixteenth, Fithian,
D; Seventeenth, Lane, d; Eighteenth,
Forman. D.; Nineteenth, Williams. D;
Twentieth, Smith, R.
The great delay in arriving at an
authentic conclusion in this state has
been due to the lateness of the returns,
owing to the tremendous amount of
scratching. All the estimates on which
the previous reports were based were
yalueless in view of the political tidal
wave which swept over the state, and
which is unprecedented in the history
of Illinois.

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
A Terrible Episode of Elec-
tiOn Day.
Pistol and Knife Freely Used
at the Polls.
More Gore Spilled on Kentucky's
Dark Bloody Ground.
Three Men Killed and Three Wounded in
Most Desperate Hand to
Hand Encounter.
Associated Press Dispatches.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. IA terrible
election-day duel in Estill county, of
which only meager mention was made
in the dispatches Wednesday, turns out
to have been one of the most desperate
encounters ever witnessed in Kentucky.
The men engaged in the affair were DIR.
Lilly, prominent young physician,
and John Wilson, commissioner of COM
mon schools in Estill county. Lilly was
a Republican and Wilson a Democrat.
Lilly brought up negro to the
polls to vote, whom Wilson challenged.
The judges sided with Wilson, and the
negro was rejected. This fred up Lilly
and hot words ensued, resulting in the
drawing of pistols by both men. Lilly
got his weapon out readily, while Will
sons hung in his pocket and was acci-
dentally discharged before he could level
it.. In the meantime he received two
balls from his antagonist, both lodging
near the heart. The wounds, however,
were not Immediately fatal, and the
dreadful combat was continued. Wilson
got his weapon free and fired two shots,
one of which strck Lilly near the heart,
About this time Wilson's brother in
terfered, and succeeded in wrestling
Lilly's weapon from his hands. Nothing
daunted him, however, and almost in
the throes of death, he drew his knife
and made several fatal stabs
in his enemy's body. Both fell
to the ground, but the terrible
duel was not over. With his last eb-
bing strength, Wilson raised up ard
fired the last load in his pistol at Grant
Lilly, the brother OF DR.. Lilly, who had
appeared on the scene, inflicting fatal
wound. Not satisfied with this, Wilson
crawled over to where his antagonist
had fallen and buried the hammer of his
pistol in his head Lilly died in few
minutes, while Wilson fingered until
next noon.
| In addition to the men already named
as having been shot, three outside per-
sons received balls, but were not seri-

ham have about 400 majority in the


county.
NEVADA, CAL, Nov. 7.-Unofficial re.
turns from forty out Of forty-six Nevada
county precincts, give Markham 2111
and Pond 1898. This result will not be
materially changed by the returns from
the remaining precincts. Blanchard
runs ahead OF Markham slightly. The
other state officers run about with
Markham. Sims, R, for the assembly,
fourteenth district, is surely defeated.
Hacking, R, for assembly fifteenth dis.
trict, has safe majority.
Placer.
AUBURN, Nov. 7.-Returns from all
but one precinct in Placer county give
Markham 1884; Pond, 1881 Blanchard,
1856; Caminetti, 1908; Martin, d, de-
feated Hawk, R, for assembly.
Sacramento.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7.-All but four
county precincts in Sacramento county
give Markham 1905; Pond, 3S41.
San Bernardino.
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. 7.-Forty-seven
precincts of San Bernardino county give
Markham 2S45: Pond. 205S. A careful
estimate of the balance of the county
gives Markham majority OF about 700
and Bowers about 900.
San Diego.
SAN Diego, Nov. 7.-Returns from
70 precincts in the county, give total
vote of 1884; Markham, 2670; Pond,
1864.
Santa Barbara.
SANTA BARBARA, Nov. Full returns
from this county give Markham III
majority. The entire Republican county
ticket is elected, except the superior
Judge and superintendent of schools.
Shasta.
REDDNG, CAL, Nov. 7.-Semi-oficial
returns from all the precincts except
five, give Markham 161 majority, and
Barham 261 majority. The precincts to
hear from will cut down the majorities
slightly. Shanahan for assembly is
elected. Campbell and Nutting for SEN
ator, are close.
Tehama.
RED BLUFF, Nov. 1.-THE total vote in
Tehama county gives Markham 11O9 /;
Pond, 1878; Geary, 1928; Barham, 1854.
These figures are not official, and may
warp few votes in favor of Barham.
Sonoma.
SANTA Rosa, Nov. 7.-Returns in all
the precincts in the county make Ponds
majority 3; Barham, representative in
congress, 800.
Ventura.
VENTURA, Nov. 7.-Seventeen pre-
cincts out of twenty-one in the county
give Markham 962; Pond, 759. The re.
naming precincts will bring Markham's
majority up to 270. No figures are OBJ.
tainable on congress, but they are about
the same as for governor.

Train-Wreckers' Game.

SEDALrA, Mo-, Nov. IA significant
fact in connection with the wreck on the
Missouri Pacific this morning, is that
Detectives Hutt and Barrett, of the
Missouri Pacific secret service, and sew
eral witnesses in the noted case of the
Otterville train robbery, were on the
train en- route to Otterville to testify in
the case of Hughes and Huffmany,
arrested for the Robbers Cut" rob-
berry, whose trial commenced today. It
is thought to be possible that the accom-
plices of the prisoners wrecked the
train in order to put these witnesses out
of the way.

MINNESOTA.
Governor Merriam Re-e1ected by a Bare
Plurality.


ST.. PAUL, Nov. with all but three
counties reported in Minnesota, and
most of them official, the vote for gov
ernor stands: Merriam, r., 2,220; Will
son, D., S0,663; Owen, Alliance, 52,44O
Merriam's plurality, 1867. The returns
from the other counties, and the official
figures from some of the counties already
Included, may change this little, but
not materially. Governor Merriam ran
behind his ticket, and all the rest of the
Republican state ticket is elected, save
auditor, Biermann, D., with Alliance en-
dorsement, securing that place. The
Alliance vote will be increased by later
figures from the fifth district, which was
its stronghold. In that district there
seems no doubt that Halverson, Alli-
ance, is elected to congress by a plural
ity of over 1000. Linde, R., wins over
Baker, Alliance, in the second, by over
1000 plurality.

editors of the Daily Imp, was shot and
dangerously wounded by Special Officer

lor, Native Sons, and member of the

proved unayailing. Not a house
is left standing, and four hundred
persons are left homeless. There is no

to have been caused by defective flue.
There will be much suffering among the
people.
