] TOPEKA, Kan, April 0.--Unoficial
returns now say that P. f.. Coifran,
Democrat and Citizens candidate, is
elected mayor by a plurality of 300
over Quinton, Republican. Coffrans
election is great surprise and is at
.tributed to the white women vote.
Quinton had the solid colored women
vote, and when this was nanifect the
white women went to Coifran. The
wives of MANY prominent Republicans
voted for Cotfran, while their husbands
supported Quinton The negro vote
was the largest ever polled. Altogether
the result was decided victory for tho
women. and it is demonstrated that
they were in no sense influenced by
their husbands.

HIS BODY MISSING.
Tho Mysterious Case Which Is Puz.
zling Clncinnati's Police.


cling Cincinnati's Police.
CINCINNATI, April Or. F. Dow, of
Elgin. Ills, is in this city trying to To-
cate the body of DIR. M. Chambers, his
uncle. DR.. Chambers is the man who
died suddenly few days ago at the
Hotel Martin. When his body was
taken charge of by the coroner nothing
but few cents was found on it. In
quiries were made for his relatives, and
after week the coroner received tel
egram from woman in New Orleans,
who claimed to be Chambers wife. She
was very particular in her inquiry
about what property was found on his
person, but requested the order of Free
M isons to bury him, saying she would
net be here. After receiving this tele-
gram the coroner ordered the body
buried in the Potter's field. Now It
seems the news of Chambers death has
just reached his friends and relatives.
Mr.. Dow says that his uncle was pos.
sessed of considerable means, receiving
big royalties on several valuable pat
ents. He came to Cincinnati on his
way to Washington, to look after some
of his patents, and was supposed to
have plenty of money. An investiga-
tion shows that Chambers body has
been removed from the city cemetery,
and has probably been taken to some
medical college. Mr.. Dow is on a search
among the colleges trying to find it.
He says that Chambers was never mar
ried, and that the woman in New Or
leans is an imposter The case is very
mysterious one, and the police have
been. called upon to help solve the
problem.

THE DEAD SNOWMAN.
ALI Bridgeport Will Insist on Do
ing Him Honor.
A CHARACTERISTIC CONVERSATION

Only Three Days Before His Death
He Displayed the Strong Business
Instincts for Which He Was So
Renowned The Business Will
Continue for Half Century.
BRIDGEPORT. Conn, April 9.-As far
as possible the oft repeated wish of the
late Phineas T. Barnum that his funeral
should be free from pomp and ceremony
will be observed. All Bridgeport, how
ever, will insist on doing honor to the
dead man. whose philanthropy was as
great as his business enterprise, and
there will undoubtedly be hundreds of
visitors from other places on the day OF
the funeral; so that the tribute paid to
the departed Snowman will be an inn
posing one.
Mr.. Barnum's body rests in cool,
dark room at the handsome residence,
Marina, in which he had taken SO much
pride and comfort. Tomorrow it will
be taken to the North Congregational
church, where funeral services will be
conducted in the afternoon by the Rev.
l.. b. Fisher, the Universalist pastor,
assisted. by the Rev. Charles R. Palmer,
of the North church.
After the services at the church, the
body, lnclosed in a metallic casket, her.
metically sealed, will be inferred in the
Mountain Grove cemetery, where Mr..
Barnuln owned a lot upon which he
erected, some years ago, simple family
monument.
Clinton Barnum Seely, who, with his
brother, is the only male heir of the
great Snowman, is wealthy young
broker and member of the Stock Ex-
change. He is president of the Larch-
mont Yacht club. and two years ago
Travelled with his grandfather's show
for year, being associated with its
business management. 1t is said that
he is especially favored in the great
Bhownan's will.
His Strong Business Instinct.
Benjamin Fish, Mr.. Barnum's private
secretary, who has represented him
during late years in his personal rela-
tions to the show, relates his last con-
versation with the veteran, only four
days ago, which is eminently charac-
teristic of the man:
"Ben," said the old Snowman, "you
don't impress it enough on the public
that the show is to go on for the next
fifty years, whether | live or die"
Then the veteran came right to the
point and bluntly asked:
What were the receipts yesterday"
"The largest we ever had in New
York, replied Mr.. Fish, quietly giving
him the exact figures unbeknown to the
nurse and clerk, who were also in the
room.
"Yes. that's good" responded the
veteran, but not up to the receipts of
the Olympia in London" and to the
surprise of his secretary Mr.. Barnum
ratified off the exact figures, showing
that physical suffering had produced no
effect upon the mental faculties.
Mr.. Barnum's fortune is estimated at
81, ,OO0, 900.
