A Wronged Girl, Maddened by Her he
Murder.
PARIS, November 3.-Nogent-sur-
Marne, five miles from here, u suburb
OF 7,4s1 inhabitants, has been thrown
into great excitement by sensational
tragedy that occurred early Tuesday
morning. Last spring Mile. Marie Le-
boeuf, teacher in one OF the CONNER
cial schools, very pretty and highly re-
spected for her devotion to her work,
made the acQuainta" ce OF Valentine
Beros, aged 80, a young man OF excellent
family, employed in the Bureau OF the
Treasury of the Department at Charen-
ton, another Partisan suburb. After
two months it appears that she was
ruined on his promising to marry her.
A fortnight ago his visits, which had
been constant, suddenly ceased. Unable
to bear the suspense, Marie went to
Clarendon, where she learned on good
authority that her lover was engaged to
be married to another woman. Render
ed desperate by this news she returned
home, and wrote Beros note, pleading
for final interview. To this he seems
to have consented, as he went to Nogent
on Monday and passed the evening
with Marie. Nothing was heard OF
them until yesterday morning, when
the servant, woman, was startled by
the sound OF pistol. Immediately
afterward Marie rushed from the room,
CRYING; "Fetch the police, I've killed
Valentine" The servant, paralyzed
with fear, was unable to move for
some time. When the police arrived
they found both Marie and her lover
lying on the bed dead. A letter was
found addressed to the Commissary OF
Police in which Marie declared her in
tention OF killing Beros and then her
self, because of his infideity. II can
not live without him" she concluded

ACROSS TIE RIVER.
fHs VOTING YESTERDAY In BiLaoa
COUNTY.
Rsiurns in Detail From Bsllsirs, Bridgeport d ma
vile, YES. Wheeling and Mar
tins Ferry.

Yesterdays election In Ohio excited
widespread interest throughout the
State, and especially in this city, moi
only because of the prominence OF the
candidates and the issues between the
two leading parties, but also for the
reason that IL was the first election
held in that State under the new Aus
trallan ballot system. In Belmont
county the voting under the new law
worked admirably. The vote was out
earlier than ever before, and il was sur
prisingly large. 1t was generally sup
posed that many would experience con.
siderable difficulty in understanding the
provisions of the new law, but such was
not the case. IL was also thought that
for several reasons the vote would be
lighter than usual. but the reverse is
true. In
BELLAIRE.
The Kangaroo ballot was voted for
the first time In this city yesterday, and
the general verdict Is that the new sys-
tenn worked nicely.
Usually the mass OF voters are slow
getting out, bnt yesterday was an ex-
ception. At noon a larger vote was
polled than was ever known before at
that hour of the day.
Many of the provisions OF the new
law that worried voters for some weeks
were not the stumbling blocks expect
ed. At every polling place printed cards
Instructed the-voter in plain, everyday
English. Those unable TO digest all the
provisions were taken in hand by judges
in the polling places and set Alright. A
few voters who felt certain they
new all about the new system made
mistakes, but as rule voters put
in their sheet of paper so that it count
ed the way they desired. The seventy
five foot limit for party workers was
found very satisfactory TO voters, but
this feature has been in force for
couple of years, and serves as pro-
lection from the fellows who know just
how you ought to vote.
The vest pocket ticket has passed
into eternity. Under the Kangaroo
system, tickets can be obtained only in
side the voting places. II q voter finds
he has spoiled his ballot he can obtain
a fresh one for the asking, but no one
is allowed more than three tickets.
The fellow who spoils three blanks has
to step outside and wait until a sub
sequent season to cast his ballot.
T. A. Rodefer, of this city, who was
nominated by the Prohibitionists for
member of the State Board of Public
Works, got nice complimentary vote
at home.
John Il. briggs, nominee OF Demo-
Gratis for Judge of Common Pleas Court,
met with little opposition in the con-
test, and was overwhelmingly elected.
The same can be said OF the Republican
nominees for State Senator, viz: j.
WILDER Nichols and Chas. n. Snyder.

Tho Cruiser Baltimore Said TO DO III
Danger at Valparaiso.
LONDON. November ga private DIS
match received from Valparaiso says
that the American cruiser Baltimore Is
In serious danger.
The dispatch states that there Is reas-
nm to believe that the Cnilians, 0ellev-
ing war inevitable. will not allow the
United States to select It's own time 10
declare war, but will suddenly give Min
lister Egan his passports, and az once az
tack the Baltimore, so as to have the
first blow at an advantage.
It IS not believed among the foreign
residents of Valparaiso that the otner
foreign men-of-war In the haroor wouid
permit a treacherous attack on captain
Schley, but would demand that he De
given fair notice to Quit valparaiso.
Captain Schley, however, Is keeping q
yieilant outlook and means to take no
chance. Those who know him say That
he would not surrender under any cir
cumstances.
The Tory press continues to ponr out

a GLORlOUs VICTORY.

The smoke of battle having cleared
away, the result appears as follows:
Democracy has won the day in New
York, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jer-
sey, Virginia and Mississippi.
Out of the awful wreck the Republi-
cans save Pennsylvania and their own
State of Ohio, by majority Of from
$4,000 to $1,000, with the Legislature
probably Republican. This, really, is a
Democratic victory.
In New York the majority of RoS-
WE'LL 2. FLOWER, Democrat, is between
$4,000 and $4,000, Democratic gain of
in the neighborhood of 10000 over the
vote Of 1883.
Republican Massachusetts had gone
Democratic, re-electing Gov. RUSSELL
by substantial majority.
Republican Iowa follows in line with
substantial majority for Gov. BoIEs,
Democrat, for a second term.
New Jersey, which elected Legisla-
ture, has been swept clean oy the Dem
ocratS.
Maryland, Of course, comes to time
by electing u Democratic Governor by
from Is, 600 to O,OOO majority-a Demo
cratic gain.
In Mississippi and Virginia there was,
at last accounts, no Republican in sight.
Democrats can shake hands with
themselves.

In 1890 the vote of Bellaire was:
Crowley, D., 1,15l; Ryan. R., 1851.
MARTINS FERRY
when the polls opened at 6 o'clock,
large number Of people were around
each voting precinct, aud the ballots
were deposited at lively rate until
noon, at which time it was estimated
that about 65 or 20 per cent. of the vote
had been cast.
Explanations for voters were posted
in conspicuous places, and although
many who had studied the system de-
posted their ballots without any assist
from the election officials, in majority
OF cases the judges were compelled TO
instruct them. Many voters were timid
about placing the crosses as provided
by the new law, aud the result was that
more straight tickets were voted than
ever before. In several Instances voters
placed the mark opposite the candidate
for Governor, instead OF the
head Of the ticket, thereby
voting only for one candidate. The
Republicans got out their vote better in
the city than the Democrats, but the
latter succeeded in bringing out 90 per
cent. more of the country voters in the
township precinct. Republicans by a
liberal use Of money, succeeded in bring
ing home many voters, who were work
ing in Steubenvile, East Liverpool,
Plttsburg, and other cities, while the
Democrats had no money to dispose of
in this way.
The entire vote OF the city was 1850,
as against 1,52S in 1890, and IL was one
Of the largest Votes ever polled in al OF
year. Everything passed off quietly,
there being no disturbance OF any char
acter, the T5-foot line keeping the
crowd away from the voting place.
Duaing the afternoon number OF the
Commissioners OF Ohio county went
over to inspect the system, and the
Judges explained it in q thorough man
ner. They were very much pleased
with 1t, but the opinion was freely ex'
pressed that the West Virginia law con-
tains many features which are improve
meuts upon the Ohio law.
Following was the result Of the vote;
First ward-Governor, Campbell geo,
Mckinley 247.
Lieutenant Governor-Marquis 21a,
Harris 2S7.
Audieor-Pickenpaugh 21s, Poe 237,

THE ORIGIN OF TIE INFLUENZA.

According TO the London correspond
emit OF the New York Times, the theory
that the influenza epidemic had its
origin amonk the destitute in the in
terror Of Russia at the religious shrines
AMI monaSteries, where great crowds Of
pilgrims assemble annually under con-
dtiouS which cause and nouriSh in
fictitious diseases. is gaining ground.
The temperance OF the influenza in
Bucharest, Vienna, and Berlin at this
time, when reports of sweeping cpl
denies among the destitute In the in
erior of Russia are coming from that
country, give peculiar weight to this
theory, particularly since we remember
that the late epidemic began its course
in the interior of Russia, and moved
from that country westward. In
those parts OF Russia where mill
ions are now suffering from
the direst poverty and from
want Of food, the conditions certainly
favor the development Of pestilence. and
it is very probable that the influenzs
has been revived there, TO be carried in
to the adjoining countries on the west
by refugees and in other ways.
at is difficult" says the Times, ''to
find support for the theory that the
mysterious aud terrible malady has its
birthplace in Russia, just as cholera has
its home in India. In both cases the
infection spreads through the agency OF
religious gatherings and piIgrimages.
The annual outbreaks Of cholera at
Mecca and the holy places near the
nouth Of the Euphrates threaten all
Europe, and the influenza engendered
in the dirty huts Of colder cline Is said
TO become epidemic at the holy places
where the devout and destitute masses
Of Russia invite plaques OF all kinds"

The Lincoln Clubs Estimate.

CINCINNATI. O., November AT 10
p. m. the Lincoln Club, as Cincinnati,
estimate McKinley's plurality IN Hamil-
ton county at b,5UU, and In the STATE
from Is, 900 to 10000.
The Lincoln Clubs estimate made at
10 o'clock is based on returns from 1872
precincts outside of Cincinnati, and on
80 precincts in Cincinnati. These show
a Republican loss In Hamiltsn county
and Democratic loss in the rest OF the
State.
Ex-Governor Foraker, who is in the
city watching the returns with interest,
estimates a plurality for Mckinley In
Ohio at Is, 900. The streets are already
filled with rejoicing men, Democrats
wild over the news from New York and
Republicans juhilant over their progress
in Ohio.

ports or information that will enable
me to enlarge my knowledge of the in

KANSAS CRY, November 3.--Dis-

show that the Alliance did not hold Its
own at to-day's election.
The returns are very slow In coming
in and only forty-seven counties OF the
LOG in the State have been heard from.
These forty-seven counties are scat
tered all over the State, and represent
every political phase.
In only two Of them the Alliance
made q clean sweep. Harper county
always has been either Union Labor or
Alliance, and Lynn was strong Alliance
county last year. The counties show
almost invariably Republican victories
or Republicans gains.
In the country the Republicans ap-
pear to have reeained their foot-hold.
while In the cities, the Alliance has
made slight gains, but not enough to
compensate them for their losses In the
several districts.
