BELToN, Nov. 3.-Hon. Geo. w.
Tyler, grand master of Masonic Lodge
of Texas, returned yesterday from
Mexico, where he went on the mission
of bringing about fraternal recog-
milton of the orders between
the United States and Mexico.
He was met at Monterey by
the grand master of the state
of Coahuila, who had been appointed
by President Diaz the head of the
order in Mexico, and a plan of frater-
nal recognition agreed upon, subject
to the ratification of the grand lodge
of Texas. Mr.. Tyler is much pleased
with his trip and speaks in the high
est terms of the kindness and courtesy
shown him by the members of the
order in Mexico, and thinks much
good to the commercial interest of the
two countries will result from his
visit.

HOUSTON, Nov. 3.-In the district

ors, Judge Masters appointed Capt
Jas. A. Baker, jr., receiver for the
Houston Belt and Magnolia Park
Railway Company and for the Hous-
ton Land and Improvement Company
with a bond of 100000. This is the
road built by the late Col. John
Brady, and the park property he de-
signed, making the finest pleasure

seems, disrupted all the plans and
the creditors compelled the COURTS

ceiver will be is not yet known.

the trunk contained the dead body OF

OHIO,

} | CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 3.-The elec
, tion was one of the most quiet, order
) ly, business like and satisfactory eve
held in Cincinnati since the good oil
} times when everybody knew every
body else and all were honest. Th
new election law based on the Aus
tralian system was tried for the frs
time. The city has for several year.
enjoyed the beneficial effects Of thu
registration law, administered by
honest, efficient and non-partisiar
board of electors. The present law is
a fine supplement to that and they
both Danish the evils that actually at
tached to the old system, or at least
were always thought to attach to it.
The present law appears to give per-
feet registry and declaration of the
peoples will.
| Four stalls were sci up in the room
near one end, the judges table. At
the other end merely nominal rail-
ing was placed to which the voters
approached and received ballots in
the order of their arrival. In the
booths ballots were prepared, with
the assistance of the judges if re-
quired, then folded and deposited.
The whole effect is to give dignity
and order to that which formerly was
game of more or less chance,
where often the loudest voice or
strongest muscle carried the election.
So election day was entirely free from
disorder. The candidates moved
about wholly free from annoyance, be-
cause the election drummer's occupa-
ton is gone. In Cincinnati the polls
closed at p. m. In other parts ofthe
state they closed at 6 o'clock. From
all points during the day a full vote
was reported, and until after the close
of the polls the predictions of the
morning were repeated with conf
dence.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 3.-The Lin
coin clubs estimate made at 10
o'clock is based on returns from 1872
| preciucts outside of Cincinnati, and
on thirty precincts in Cincinnati.
These show a Republican loss in Ham
ilton county, and Democratic loss in
the rest of the state. Governor Fora
ker, who is in the city watching the
returns with interest, estimates the
plurality for Mckinley in Ohio of
$4,000. The streets are already filled
with rejoicing men. The Democrats
are wild over the news from New
York, and the Republicans jubilant
over their success in Ohio.
At 8 o'clock only eight precincts in
Hamilton county show Democratic
gain of fifty-three. This indicates
majority of 5000 in the county for Nc
Kinley.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-Sixty nine
precincts in Ohio outside of Cihcin-
natl, Mckinley 4089, Campbell 1850,
Ashenhurst 211, Seitz 81. The same
in 1890 gave Ryan 1923, Comley 1884.
TOLEDO, Nov. 3.-No returns are in
at p. m. from this quarter of Ohio.
The vote is very heavy and the count
is slow, owing to errors in making the
Australian ballots, which causes
DELAY and discussion among the
Judges of election.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-Fifteen pre-
cincts in Ohio outside of Cincinnati,
MCKINLEY 2O9O, Campbell 1923.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-Eighty-one
nrecincts outside of Cincinnati give
Mckinley 10, ,4O2, Campbell 1891. ,.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.--The Re-

urer, has 600 majority, and Wright

ocratic majority of 422.
Cumberland county Democratic

iority of 1850. 1t gave 552 in 1889.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 3.-The returns
from Allegheny county are coming in
very slowly, but enough is known to
estimate the election of the Repub-
lican and Democratic Fusion county
ticket by from 10000 to $4,000 plural
ity. The plurality for the Republican
state ticket is estimated at 5000. The
vote against the constitutional con-
vention will be large.

COLORADO.


DENVER, Colo, Nov. 3.-The
weather today was warm and cloudy
and the election. beyond all question,
the most peaceful one ever held in
Denver, considering the fact that this
is an off year and that the Australian
system which went into effect today
had disfranchised colonies and So
men. The vote cast was surpris-
ingly heavy one. Little or no trouble
was experienced in getting vo-
ters through the polling booths
and the places Of voting were free
from gangs of ticket peddlars and
boozers, who, under the old system,
were an annoyance to the voters.
When the polls closed tonight no ar
rests had been reported for illegal
voting. There were five tickets in
the field-Democratic, Republican,
Peoples, Prohibition and Peoples Non
Partisan, the first two polling the
vote, the other three making but lit
tie showing. No state officers were
voted for except for chief justice of the
supreme court, and but little scratch
ing was done, and that entirely
among the names for local officers.
Reports received from various parts
of the state indicate that the election
passed off quietly and in many places
q mixed ticket was chosen. The count
ing of ballots will be very slow, and
on account Of the great distance the
precincts are apart, it will be very
late before returns of definite char
acter can be had. There is, however,
no doubt of the election of Judge
Helm, Republican, to the chief justice
ship.
KANSAS.

Judges were voted for in Kansas to-

1t will be difficult matter, even after
the returns are in, unless the victory
is sweeping, to tell the result or otell
whether the Peoples party has gained
or lost during the last year. The dis
patches from all over the state say that
the weather has been wretched. A
cold drizzling mist fell all day and a
raw east wind made existence out OF
doors most uncomfortable. The vote
was light everywhere, particularly IN

Some one has said that fankness about
unpleasant facts in regard to one another
invariably marks the conversation Of
relatives, and it certainly is often true.
A Vermont farmer had three sons for
whose benefit he had worked hard and
denied himself that they might have the
education which he had lacked. The
two older sons made the most Of their
advantages, and in the course of time
entered honorable professions and were
great sources of pride to their old father.
The youngest was a handsome, easily
influenced boy, and on his final return
from college he had developed into what
is called 'tdude," with many airs and
little common sense. he regarded the
Farm and everything about it with a
high disdain, yet he seemed to have no
inclination to seek employment of any
sort away from home.
Bis father was bitterly disappointed
in him, but said little to the foolish
young fellow, who one day overheard a
conversation between his father and an
old friend from the city, which fortu-
nately had salutary effect on him.
.sWeil, Mr.. Adams" said the old
friend, "you have three sons, I know;
what are they all doing9
"John, replied Mr.. Adams with pride,
she's going to be minister, and fust
rate one, too, if I do say it; and Fred, he
calclates to be a lawyer, and guess there
won't be many smarter in this part of
the country
"And how about james," inquired the
friend.
"Well, as to James," responded the
farmer dryly, she's my son to be sure;
but If James don't meet with no serious
drawbacks / think likely he'll make a
fust class idiot some day."
