CINCINNATI, Ohio Nov. 3.-Ohio will
elect Secretary of State Judge of the Su-
preme Court, . member Of the board OF
Public Works, Representative to Con-
gress from each of its 2l districts and
county officers. The election Of members
to Congress is the first under the reap
pointment of districts made by the legis-

By the vote two years ago six of these
would elect republicans, viz; Second,

twentieth. Others should elec. democrats.
sues in it. The election of Congressman
has made the national Issues prominent.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the
campaign in Ohio is the candidacy of VIM.
Mckinley in the 10th District Last year
the counties in his District gave demo
cratic majority Of 5000.
There has been a most earnest effortsby
the republicans to elect Mckinley, partly
on account of his value to the party in Con-
gress and partly as vindication of his
policy as an exhibitor in the tariff law.
Equally in return have efforts been made to
elect his opponent, Judge Warwick. to
show that the people do not approve of the
Mckinley tariff bill.
Another feature is the effect of Ex-Gov.
Charles Foster in the eighth district to over
come the democratic majority of 1900.
The republicans are inclined to claim the
election of Congressman, besides the six
already named as conceded, in the first,
sixth, eighth, ninth, seventeenth and
twenty first districts. The effect Of the ex-
traordinary session of the legislature upon

A Democratic Split in South Car olina.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 3.--The election
in South Carolina is to be for full State
ticket and Congressman; an interest arises
from split in the democratic ranks caused
by Tillman's nomination. Neither the liq-
uor nor the labor questions enter into the
contest. The State election hinges on op-
position by small fraction of tine demo-
cratic party calling themselves Straight
outs A great body of white people will
vote for Tillman.'
1t is possible that with the undivided
support of the republicans Haskell
(strsighout) ticket may be elected. The
republican state executive recommend its
support There is some disaffection in the
Fourth district on account of the course
pursued by G. W. Shell, the democratic
candidate. As J. +. Ensor. the republican
candidate, expressed himself adversely to
to the sub treasury scheme and the force
bill is besides very popular among the
white people, the race in that district bids
fair to be exciting.

-Four X illsd and Many IojuIsd by Boy
OpeVators Officiousnsss.

SYRACUSE. n. r., Nov. 3.--An accident
occurred on the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western r. X. at Rock Cut, about three
miles south of this city at ) 10 l.. NJ.
through the undue ofiiciousness of
a boy telegraph operator NJ. A. Clark.
1t resulted in the death of four persons, the
injury of many others. and the destruction
of many thousand dollars worth of rolling
stock.
The day express train from the South
passes Rock Cut $40, about 40 miles an
hour. Just before the express was due at
Rock Cut coal train train from Syracuse
arrived and had been run onto a switch,
AZ the headlight of the express engine came
into view it flashed through Clark's mind
that the switch was open and If it was not
closed the express would dash into the coal
train. lie rushed to the switch and swung
it over, and he then realized his mistake.
As the switch turned the express swung
onto the side track and went with crash
into the coal train. The fireman and en-
gineer of each engine were caught in the
wreck and ground to death. Four were
more or less injured though not fatally.
All passengers were badly shaken up, only
one injured seriously-Mrs. Julia Corco-
ran, Buffalo. Her spine was hurt and two
ribs broken.

In Indiana There Are Several Doubt
full Distrjctu

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 3.-The State
officers to be elected in Iowa are Secretary
of State, Treasurer, Auditor, Judge of Su-
preme Coult and Railroad Commissioner.
Ordinarily the State gives plurality of
about 10000 for the republicans, so the
republicans have the greatest confidence in
to- morrows result. The democrats appear
by no means without hope in repeating the
victory of last fall, and are straining every
effort to elect a state ticket. The farmers
alliance is not particularly strong in Iowa,
as the prohibition question was always .
glowing issue. The situation may be sum-
married. by saying fight which overshadows
all else, is a struggle in doubtful congress
sional districts of the state. So many ele-
menls enter into these contests that the
oldest politicians are refraining from any
positive predictions. No less than six of
the eleven districts are alleged doubtful by
either of the parties.
