Democrats Make Heavy Gains and
Elect State Treasurer.
(By United Press.)
DENVER, Col, Nov The official
returns will be required to determine
the result of the election in this State.
The Democrats claim they have elected
the State Tr, asurer, Attorney General
and Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. The Republicans concede the
Treasurer and large Democratic gain

of ingalls, Matter of Doubt.
lBy United Press.l
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Nov. 6.-The Re-
publican candidate for Governor is
beaten; six out of seven Republican
Congressional candidates defeated;
Senator Ingalls, reelection subject of
grave doubt. That is the situation in
Kansas. The eighty two thousand Re-
publican majority has been overcome
The Farmers Alliance did it, and it was
a genuine surprise. The chances for
the Democrats gaining in some districts
was bright, but no such as overturning
of the Republican majorities was expect
ed. For the first time IN many years
tie Republican delegation is broken.
The Farmers Alliance and the Demo
Gratis waged bitter campaign against
Senator Ingalls,, whose term expires in
1891, and in majority of the districts
sustained one of their candidates
against the Repub candidate. The re-
result is the certain election Of 95 Farm
ers' Alliance and Democratic legislators
against 80 Republicans. Some of the
latter may vote for Ingalls,, but his op-
ponents claim that there will be ma
jority of six against him.
TOPEKA, Kan Nov. 6.-At an early
hour this morning the Republican Cen
trail Committee comedies that the oppo-
sition to Ingalls, will have majority in
the legislature They also concede the
election Of the entire Farmers Alliance
State ticket, with the possible exception
of Governor and six opposition Con-
gressmen.
Later and Better.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6.-There is now
but little doubt that the next Kansas
legislature in joint ballot will be under
the control of Farmers Alliance and
Democrats combined, and possibly the
! Alliance alone will have working ma
jority This means sure defeat for Sen
ator Ingalls,.
Returns from the country districts are
coming in slowly and both the RepIbli-

"The second evil that bodies mis-
chief to the country and endangers the
stability of our Government arises from
our mutilated and defective system of
public school education. An education
that improves the mind and the memory
to the neglect of moral and religious
training is, at best, but an imperfect sys-
tenn. 1t is not enough for children to
have secular education; they must re-
ceive also religious training. Indeed,
religious knowledge is rs far above
human science as Heayen is above earth.
The remedy for the defects of our educa-
tional system would be supplied if the
denominational system, such as now OBJ
tains in Canada, were applied in our
public schools.
"The desecration of the Christian Sab
bath is the third social danger against
which it behooves as to set our faces,
and take timely precautions before it as
sumes proportions too formidable to be
easily eradicated. A close observer can
not fail to note the dangerous inroads
that have been made on the Lords Day
in our country within the last quarter of
century. If these encroacfments are
not checked in time, the day may come
when religious quiet will be changed into
noise nd4turbulence.
The ballot is the expression of the
will of free people. and its purity should
be guarded with the utmost jealousy.
The repeated cry of election frauds is
one full of warning Frauds are attempt

ballot. 1t is the gravest menace to free
institutions.
g, i" Defective registration laws and neg
ligence to secure the ballot box by care
ful galsenactments in part account for
such state OF affairs. A prime cause is
that the better class of citizens so often
stand aloof from practical politics and the
conduct of campaigns. The violation of
purity of the ballot leads directly to the
point where there is either less OF liberty

"oUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE"

Such is the title of book just issued
by John Murphy 81 Co., of Baltimore.
The author is Cardinal Gibbons. He
draws picture of five great evils which
threaten the American people, as destruc-
tive of our Government and our civilization
He treats the subject ably from Lis
standpoint and the book is worth read.
ing. He says:
''If our Government and legislation are
permeated and fortified by Divine revela-
ton and Christian traditions, we cannot
ignore the fact that they are assailed by
unbelief, impicty and socialism. We
are confronted by five great eVils-Mor-
monism and divorce, which strike at the
root of the family and society an imper-
feet and vicious system of education,
which undermines the religion of our
youth the desecration of the Christian
Sabbath, which tends to obliterate In
our adult population the salutary fear Of
God and the homage that we owe Him;
the gross and the systematic election
frauds, and, lastly, the unreasonable
delay IN carrying into effect the sentences
of eur criminal Courts and the numerous
subterfHges by which criminals evade the
execution of the law. Our Unsuitable greed
for gaiL, the co-existence of colossal
wealth with abject@povertY, the extrava-
gance of the rich, the discomfort of the
poor, our eager and impetuous rushing
through life, ald every other moral and
social delinquency may be traced to one
of the five radical vices enumerated
above.

country at heart cannot fail to view
with alarm the existence AID the gradua
DEVELOPMENT of mormonism, which is a
discredit to our Government. The feeble
and spasmodic attempts that have been
made to repress this social evil, and the
virtual immunity that it enjoys, have
rendered its apostles bold and defiant.
The reckless facility with which divorce
is procured is an evil scarcely less de.
plorable than Mormonism, for divorce
has the sanction Of the civil law, which
Mormonism has not. Mormonism consists
in simultaneous polygamy. while the
law of divorce practically leads.to sue

"There was a total of 32S,71G divorces

The County Capital Excited over the
First suicide ia Many Years-Death
Somewhat Delayed BY an Overdose
Drink Likely the Cause.
Ebensburg was thrown into a high state
of excitement On Saturday morning by
the announcement of an attempt at sui
eide by Richard L. Davis, who for some
years has been keeping boot and shoe
store. He also worked at the shoemaking
trade. He had eaten, as near as could be
ascertained, near a half pint of Paris green.
1t was enough to kill fifty men, and it
made him deathly sick, so sick in fact
that be is said to have expressed his re-
greet that his death had been delayed by.
such an overdose. Death resulted at ten
minutes before o'clock in the afternoons :
despite the efforts of the physicians to
save him.
Davis has gwen way frequently of late
to his habit of indulging in intoxicating
drink. Ever since the death about a year
ago of his wife, (known in Ebensburg as
the one-armed woman) he has been drink
ing much. While she was alive lie drank
very little. Together they kept a shoe
store on Julian street, and everything
went along nicely.
Davis was over fifty years ofage, and has
been residcnC of Ebensburg for long
time, if not all his life.

owlish gravity to the remarks. Murphy
was telling of fearful occurrence alleged
to have happened in a distant State
where such things always happen.

wretch was SO filled and saturated with
alcohol that he fairly breathed alcohol,

4 RAILROAD WRECK.

\ Triple Collision ON the Pennsylvania
Railroad-A Brakeman kilted-A Pecu-
liar Accident Near Altoona in which
Cars are Burned and all Trains De-
layed.
About 4 o'clock Friday morning an
eastbound train of coal cars stopped for
some unknown cause on the heavy grade
on the mountain side, about three miles
west of Altoona. While it was standing
there another eastbound coal train came
along and crashed into the rear Of the
first train. Several cars were badly used
up, and the colliding engine was also
damaged, but did not leave the rails The
tracks were obstructed, and this caused
two light engines that were following
close after the last train to stop very near
to the place of the collision TO wait while
the debris was being cleared away.
This was q work of unusual length of
time owing to the fact that when the ca
boose on the first train was struck by the
second one it was badly wrecked and the
stove in it was overturned. This set fire
to the caboose and burned it entirely up,
together with the car in front or it.
There were no means at hand for ex-
tinguishing the flames, and they had to
be allowed to take their course until they
could burn out. This, of course, made a
longer delay than usual, for, although the
debirs could have been cleared from the
west bound track, the heat and flames
were so severe that no trains could pass
the spot.
While waiting for the fire to burn out
another east bound coal train came along,
and without any warning struck the two
light locomotives that were standing on
the tracks and pushed them up on the
train ahead that had oollided with the
first one. Here it was that the fatal in.
cident of the wrecks occurred. Fireman
Charles English, of one of the light en-
gines, No. 1176,Iwas caught between the
tank of his engine and one of the cars and
was instantly crushed to death. Although
he was extricated from the wreck as
quickly as willing hands could work,
it was all too late and life was extinct.
English was "a single man and lived in
Altoona. His body was taken there on
the fire train and will be buried there to.
morrow.
Strange to say none Of the locomotives
left the rails, although all were more or
less damaged. As soon as the fire had
burned out the wrecking crews that had
meanwhile arrived from Altoona, went to
work and soon had the debris cleared
away. The west-bound track was opened
and ready for business at 8 o'clock this
morning, but it was II O'Clock before the
wreckage had all been removed from the
east-bound track sufficiently to allow the
trains to pass. All the west-bound through
passenger trains were held at Altoona.
while the limited and first section of the
Day Express, east-bound, were held at
Gallitzin. As yet it has not been deter
mined upon whose shoulders shall rest
the responsibility for the wreck
West bound trains passing here were
behind time all day yesterday. Some of
the early morning trains being nearly
four hours late.
