Capt. L. w. Barksdale is the registrar

the result of yesterdays election as fol-
lows: Conservatives elected, 1875; re-
formers elected, SO; majority for tho

to be heard from, of which five at the
last election returned conservatives.
The World government paper) claims
majority of 80 for the government.
The Mail independently gives the gov
eminent majority of 20, while tho
Globe (opposition) says that the whole
majority for the government throughout
the whole country will not exceed 20.
The Mail says:O Taking the election
as whole it will be n disap-
pointment to both Sides To tho
Liberals, because tho Roadway thew
nave made in Ontario, and Quebec has
oeen nullified by the action Of the cleo
torate elsewhere, and to the government
because 1T did not sweep the country.
Inc MlnlSterialists, however, should be
we'll pleased that they have gotten off
so we'll. Unbiased reports from various
constituencies during the latter DAYS of
the campaign certainly pointed to tho
impending rout.
The Globe says: "Tho prospect be-
fore tho government is not an inviting
one. 1T has been terribly weakened at
the polls. The premiers reckless
speeches have destroyed any hope of it's
obtaining any relaxation of tho United
States tariff in our behalf, and havo
created circulation in the minds of
our neighbors which may produce evil
fruit for us bcforc long. Every branch
OF industry is Frustrated, and without
much oXaSgeration agriculture, tho
foundation story of all, may be said to
be nearing it's last gasp. Under these
conditions the administration can not
possibly survive. But the Liberals are
by no means eager to assume control,
the responsibilities and danger of tho
situation are so imminent and so great.
Were it not their bounden duty to save
the country if they can they would DO
well content to let the Tories rulo until
tho deluge arrives"

Thad Hucks by Captain Gish.
1t appears from evidence given that
Wimbush has been in the habit of going
to the house of Victoria Hunley, where
Thad Hucks boards. Tuesday morning
he came one time too often. He had a
basket of provisions, fresh from market,
bottle OF whiskey, and revolver. He
got into an argument regarding relig-
ious matters with Victoria, and because
she did not accede to his belief, slapped
her in the mouth. Victoria cried, and
then struck him with stick. Wimbush
then attempted to daw pistol on her,
when Hucks took the matter up and
ordered Wimbush to leave.
Both men went out of the door.
Hucks fired at Wimbush when few
steps off. Wimbush then turned and
sent shot so close to Huck's head,
that 1t pealed the bark on his check.
Officer Bower was gent for and ar
rested both parties. An effort was
made to compromise, but the scheme
didn't work
Justice Howerton sent them both on
to the grand jury. Wimbush obtained
bail under 5000 bond.
