Earthquake in Japan.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-A private dispatch
received here from Japan says that the
loss of life by the recent earthquake,
which shook the Island of Hondo and
other places, is estimated to be very
great Over TWO thousand persons were
killed and about eighteen thousand
houses destroyed in the Province of
Nagoya, on the Island of Hondo, the
capital of which Is Nagoya, a city of
80, 900 inhabitants. In addition to the
foregoing, five thousand houses were de-
stroyed and five thousand persons were
killed by the earthquake at Gifu.
The towns of kano and kasmatSu are
also reported TO have been destroyed, to-
gether with fifty miles of railroad.
1t is presumed that the fire, which
started among the wrecked buildings at
Nagoya, as already cabled, may have
had great deal TO do with the great loss
of life which is announced by the pri-
vate message. As the loss of life at Ka-
no and Kasamatsu is not mentioned,
aud as these towns are said to have been
destroyed, it is estimated here that the
total loss of life may eventually be
shown to be over ten thousand.
Additional adyiceS confirm the news
that there have been many wrecks
about the Island OF Hondo as one of the
consequences of the terrible disturbance
The severance of telegraphic COM
with the death district 5

ing gathered as to the extent of the

WASHINGTON, November 2nd.-Th,
conference to-day between Senior Montt
representing the Chillian Junta, and
Secretary Blaine. has resulted in a man
ner that indicates that the difficulty be-

harmonized. Senior Montt has quietly
but persistently insisted that Ministel
Egan has not kept this government ad

passing between himself and the Chilli

To-day Senior Montt convinced Secrf

Forest Fires i'm Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 2.-One of
the most disastrous forest fires ever
known in st. Louis county has been
raging for the past four days in the
western portion of the county Thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable prop
erty has been destroyed and, unless
there is a rain within few days, the
losses will reach an enormous figure.
The fire started last Thursday morning
on the farm of Tom Nichols, near
Glencoe, and spread so rapidly that
within a few minutes it had got beyond
control, 1t baffied the efforts of the
people of the neighborhood, who turned
out en- masse TO save the Nichols home
stead, which, few hours later, with its
contents, lay smouldering heap of
ruins The property was valued at So,
600 by Mr.. Nichols and was we'll
known landmark of that neighborhood.
The flames have kept up "A steady
march ever since, lighting up the sky for
miles around at night, and causing dense
clouds of smoke to hang IN the sky dur
ing the day and leaving desolation in its
wake. Several other residents followed
that of Mr. Nichols on Saturday
Acres upon acres of wheat have sue
cumbed to the flames and in many places
valuable residence property, barns and
stock have been saved only by plowing
up crops to prevent the spread of the
fire Acres of valuable timber have
been destroyed between Glencoe and Eu-
reka, and the fire was raging in that sec
ton at a late hour last night with una
bated fury

COnyicts Liberated.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, November AT
l O'Clock this morning 200 mounted men
came in from the mountains and liberat-
ed the 200 convIcts working in the
mines at Oliver Springs. So quietly was
it done that the people OF this town
knew nothing about what had happened
until g O'Clock this morning, when they
discovered that the stockade of the
leSseeS was a mass of smoking ruins.
All of the short term prisoners were
furnished with citizens clothing, and
with the exception of few who were
captured, ali are at large. This makes
more than 500 penitentiary convicts
turned loose in that locality
The governor of the state was here
yesterday, but left this morning for
Nashville. 1t was given out here that
the force of guards at Oliver Springs had
been largely increased, and that an at
tack upon the stockades would be stoutlv
resisted. 1t does not appear, however,
that there was any resistance at all, and,
so far as learned, no one was hurt. The
widest rumors prevail, one which is
that the miners will Immediately pro-
ceed to Tracy city and release the con-
victs there. There is now no well-found-
ed evidence of this, but no one can tell
what the end is.to be.

CINCINNATI, Nov 3.-Ohio has elect
ed Major Mckinley governor by a ma
jority of from 10, 900 to 10, 900 Governor
Campbell comedies his defeat The leg
islature will also be Republican. The
result was due to the heavy vote polled
and the abundant funds of the Repubi-
cans, which enabled them to get their
full strength to to the polls In Ham
lltOn county where it was expected
Campbell would be slaughtered, he runs
ahead of his ticket from to 20 votes
IN almost every precinct and the Re
pubhcans admit that the majority
against him will be less than $500 in
stead of the 10, 600 claimed He gained
in the manufacturing counties and
Democratic strongholds, but not enough
to overcome the Republican gains
among the farmers.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 3.-Dispatches
from various counties in Kansas show
that the Alliance did not hold its own
at to-day's election. The returns are
very slow in coming in, and only n
counties Of the 106 in the state have
been heard from. In only two of them
have the Alliance made a clean sweep.
The counties show almost invariably
Republican victories or Republican
gains. In the country the Republicans
appear to have regained their foothold,
while in the cities the Alliance has
made slight gains through the Citizens
Alliance
In the judicial districts the returns at
hand indicate that the Alliance had met
wholesale defeat. The Republicans and
Democrats combined against the Al
lance candidate for judges and voted for
either the Republican or Democratic
nominee, whichever was the strongest
man.

Had Wives IN Plenty.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 2.-Daniel c.
Staples, a dealer in oils in this city, was
committed to Jail to-day on charges of
bigamy and perjury. The abandoned
wife, who is prosecuting Staples, says
she married him thirteen years ago in
New York and lived with him in that
city until few months ago, when he
disappeared. She then went to rela-
tives in Harrisburg
Marshal Frey heloed her to locate him
and found that he had married Mary z
Brand on October y, and had gone il
to the oil business He had obtained
license by swearing he was a widow.
When confronted by wife No. D.

NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Roswell p.
Flower was elected to-day rs governor of
New York, to succeed David B. Hill.
His plurality is estimated between Is, 600
and 24,00. Fasett did not carry Elmi-
ra, his own city. Flower beating him
there by 5O4 votes. This city gave
Flower $4,000 plurality and BROOKLYN
gave him 1900.
Returns received from districts ont
side New York and Kings counties indi-
cate that Fassett has been meeting Fol-
gers fate. In Jefferson, Clinton, Essex.
Montgomery and Wyoming counties
Flowers gains on decreased vote were
ahead of Hills Watertown's four
wards show gain of 500 for Flower.
The vote in this city to-day was very
light. 1t had been expected that out of
the registration of 261, ,532 at least 24O,-
600 ballots would be polled, but only
about 220,0 900 persons voted. In the
Hill-Miller campaign more than pa, 900
votes We're cast. Comparatively, Flower
ran as well as Governor Hill, whose
plurality was 90, 900 and who was elect
ed by 10000.
Flower will take to the Harlem river
rs, 900 plurality. It is doubtful if Fas-
sett viii bring down 80, 900 to meet it.
The Democrats are gaining assembly
men in the state. Sheehan is not doing
as well as Flower, but his election is as
sured
At ten O'Clock Governor Hill sent
telegram to Police Commissioner Mar
tin, claiming the state for Flower by |
40, 600 plurality. Mr.. Flowers own es-
innate Of his majority in the state is
25, 600.

pES MONIES, Nov. 3.-Iowa has gone
Democratic again, and this time the en-
tire state ticket is elected. Returns re-
ceived up to midnight indicate this be-
yond question. The Democratic strong
holds along the river have increased the
phenomenal majOrities given Governor
Boies two years ago, while scattering re-
turns from the rural districts show equal
gains. The majority for Boies will pos
sibly reach 10000.
The state vote polled is the largest ever
cast in Iowa. In Dubuque, which is
overwhelming Democratic, the vote is
1000 in excess of any ever cast there
From nearly every district heard from
at midnight Boies has made gains on
his vote of two years ago, when he was
elected by plurality of $500. Chair
man Fuller of the Democratic State
Committee, claims the election of Boies
by majority as great as that of two
years ago, if in fact it does not exceed
that figure. In Wahelle, Republican
stronghold Wheeler got but 9 majority.
At midnight the returns showed that
the Legislature will probably be Demo-
by good working majority.

are feeling jubilant over their victory
and have a right to be proud of it. Its
effects will be far reaching and will give
them such a hold in Cambria county
that it will take labor and time to over
come. The Democrats who aided the
Republic ms in their victory on Tuesday
may chuckle little with the Republi-
cans for few weeks over helping to
defeat the Democratic ticket but in a
year from now they will not be boast
ing of their treachery. New men will
be ON the Democra tic ticket then, per-
haps friends of them who helped to
slaughter the ticket on Tuesday and the
Republicans will have no further use for
them unless they continue to be pllahle
tools ,.-------rr- MINUS. we nave IN the
past twenty-five years seen number of
Democrats defeated but we have never
seen Democrat who afterwards was
proud of his share in the enemy's vic
tory. OF course when a man gets so
far gone that he is purchasable guam
tity in the market every year he has no
feelings of regret but expects to be
sought out the next year and re-
purchased. But to q Democrat, who is
a Democrat from principle, who from
real or fancied wrong to himself or his
friends has helped to defeat the Demo
cratic ticket, it will be a humiliating
recollection when the Republican emf
saries are lowering after him next year
to favor them again

IN tho RESULT of the elections held IN
other states On Tuesday the Democrats
have reason to feel jubilant. New York,
by the returns show that she is strongly
anchored in the Democratic column and
that in 1892 she will not be found want
ing. The Republicans made strong
attempt to carry the state but their eff
forts were futile and unavailing.
In Massachusetts the Democrats again
carry the state, re-electing Governor
Russell Massachusetts, Democratic IN
two successive elections is strong lndl-
cation that when the state left the Re
publican ranks to join the Democratic
column, she come to stay. The Repub-
licans next year will enter the canvass
under the disadvantage of having TO
recover lost ground.
In Iowa the one time banner Republl-
can state, Governor Bois is reelected and
the Republicans routed. Iowa has got
loose from the Republican moorings and
is another state that the g. o. p. must
fight to recover.
In Ohio Mckinley is elected by about
$1,000. Before the election it was con-
ceded that if the Republicans carried the
state by anything less than twenty
thousand in that Republican stronghold
it would be victory for the Democrats.
They had high Projections great apostle
for their leader, all the money that
could be fried out of the manufacturers
in ever state in the Union to assist in
carrying his election and fifteen thous-
and is the pitiable majority that they
have to show that the people are crying
for high protection.
In Pennsylvania the Republican state
ticket is elected by about $4,000. 1t is
an endorsement of Quay and his leader
ship and makes the stealings of BardS-
ley with the negligence of NcCamant
and Boyer respectable in the opinion of

narrowing story comes from te pro-
vince of Samara. The peasan' are so
reduced by starvation and pnt that
many of them are unable to 2 even to
the government distributing oints for
supplying food. In one vilse no less
than forty-two have perishs, and the
number of dead in the whe province
will amount to not less'thap 900. The
survivors in most instaces are too
weak to sttend the burial the departed
and officials are compelledmuch against
their will, to inter the realms. Sama-

WE give in another column the elec-
ton returns in this county on President
Judge and Sheriff. They are not official
but are as near correct as they could be
gotten at the hour of going to press and
show without a doubt the election of A.
V. Barker for President Judge, and
James NJ. Shumaker, for sheriff. The
returns in this county do not cast much
sunshine to Democratic hearts but drops
