New York. Nov. A World extra says
the latest returns show Flowers plurality
over Fassett in the state to be 40,055. The
whole democratic state ticket is elected. In
this city Flowers plurality ls IS, ,s57, show
ing democratic falling off of more than
10000 from the vote Of Hill in 1883. Re
turns received by the Associated press up
to noon to-day showed that the democrats
elected fourteen senators, and the
republicans fourteen. -Four districts are
still in doubt, but the returns so far re-
ceivod indicate that the democrats will
curry three of these and the republicans one.
The same returns indicated that the assem-
bly, will stand sixty-one republicans and
sixty-four democrats, and ono county dem
ocrat who was endorsed by tho republicans.
OF tho democratic seats four are still in
some doubt and of the republicans one.
At midnight the Associated press returns
for New York state show fifteen democrats
elected to the senate and seventeen republi-
cans. There is some doubt about two. re-
publicans and one democrat. In the as
sembly there is a tie. On these figures the
republicans have majority on Joint
ballot.
The Herald's late returns from the state
say the senate is tie and in the house the
republicans will have si1ty-nine and the
democrats fifty-nine. Flowers plurality is
given at 46,446.

lack OF funds to pay legitimate expenses OF
the campaign. He says they made the best
fight they could in tho face Of q republican
majority of l.000 to start on. and the COM

The Body Sent East.

GREAT FALLS, Nov. Especial. The
body of Frederick s. Fish, the young Helena
lawyer who committed suicide at the Park
hotel yesterday, was to-day shipped to New
London, Ohio, for interment. II was met
at the depot BY w. s. Spaulding, his
brother-in-law, who accompanied the re-
mains east. Full investigation by the
coroner's jury this morning failed to bring
out any solution of the suicide and the case
is still shrouded in mystery. His sister.
Mrs. Spaulding, claims to know the cause
of the act, but refuses to divulge it. The
coroner's jury returned verdict that Fish
had come to his death by his own hand.

Eight Lifeless and Mangled Bodies

Mine Yesterday.
Another Victim Dies on the Sur

Awful fall of Nearly Thousand Feet
How the Accident Happened--List
Of the Dead. .tr e

BUTTE, Nov. a. Special. Tho most
terrible accident in the history of Montana
occurred in tho Anaconda mine q few min
utes after midnight this morning. The
mine only resumed operations two weeks
ago after prolonged shutdown, nnd to-
day all the works of the company are again
closed temporarily and the flags are flying
at half mast. BY last nights accident nine
men were killed and one ID injured. Tbs
killed are:
JAMES O'DoNsELL.
CHAs. M. EVANS.
JOHN RITcHIK.
JAMES q. SULLIVAN.
PAT MULLIGAN.
MICHAEL McAvoY.
JAMES Roach.
/ W. NJ. MARTIN.
DENNIS SHAuaHNEssY.
Jerry Harrington is injured, but not
not fatally.
At midnight last night the engineer at
the Anaconda mine gave the signal as usual
for lunch. The last cage was lowered to
the 1,O0O-foot level. where partial load
was obtained, and then was raised to the
800. At that level large number of men
were waiting to be raised to the surface for
their lunch, and there was rush. The
cage has an upper and lower deck, and the
rules are that only nine men shall be
allowed on each deck. In this case, how
ever, the men crowded into tho cage, and Il
is believed that not less than twenty started
on the terrible ride to death. All went well
until some point between the 300 and 400
foot levels. Then James O'Donneil, VIII
was on the upper deck, lost his self-posses
sion and fell over the side of the cage. He
fell between the cage and the wall of the
shaft down to the lower deck of the cage,
where he struck the men crowded there in
such way as to knock almost all OF them
off. Altogether eight men were knocked
from the cage down to the sump, which il
LOO feet below the surface. Two others
were brought to the surface badly injured,
and one of these died in short time. The
bodies brought to the surface were SO
mangled as to be scarcely Recognizable ex-
cept by their clothing. In some cases the
bodies were so crushed that only a basketful
of remains could be gathered. One man
had an arm pulled out, a leg broken of at
the knee and his head knocked off. The
men will be buried at the expense Of the
Anaconda company. An inquest has been
begun, but is not yet concluded.

"No, but i have facsimiles of the only

simile appears in Las Cartas de los Indies,

cast of the tomb of Columbus, and shall
have facsimile of the actual casket in
which his blessed bones now repose. It
looks more like the jewel box of a butter
fly of fashion than the coffin of great dis
coverer, as it is made of German gilt and
glass. / am also making a collection Of
the portraits of Columbus. We intend to
have the original or a copy of every por-
trait that was made of him, copy Of
every picture in which he appears as fig
ure, and model of every statue ever
erected in his honor.
II have thirty-fiye portraits SO far, but
not one of them is genuine so far as we can
prove. There is no evidence that Columbus
ever had his portrait painted, although
there is one in the collection of the Duke
de Veraguas in Madrid, by Antonio del
Rincon, which it is claimed that he sat for
after his return from his second voyage
But this is not at all certain, and the only
representation of his face that was ever
painted, drawn or carved from life is pen
and-ink drawing of st. Christopher with
the Christ child on his back, which orna-
ments a chart of his second voyage made
by Juan de la Cosa, who accompanied him
as pilot Cosa drew this picture as an Or
nament ON the map, as typical of Column
bus carrying salvation to the inhabitants Of
the New World, and it is said that he gave
st. Christopher the face of the discoverer.
Most of the portraits are made from that
little likeness; but it will be interesting
to have a collection of pictures showing
how the old painters thought he looked"
"What else will you have to shown
"Well, we are getting ready to construct
caravel, which will be anchored beside
the great battle ship at Chicago to show the
improvement in ship building during the
last four hundred years. It is to be an ex-
act replica of the Santa Maria, in which
Columbus sailed-a ship of about 100 tons,
sixty-seven feet long. and drawing about
ten feet of water. Lieutenant McCarty
Little, of the navy, has the work in charge,
and is now engaged in making the draw
ings for the shipwrights. 1t will be ready
for the great naval review which is to take
place in October, 1892, at New York and
Norfolk, in which all the navies of the
world are to be invited to participate, and
will be ''the gem of the ocean"
