NO ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR,
But the Legislature Is Safe to Elect Republican
SenatOr-Ths Democrats Make Gains But the
Battle Was for the Srong-Thers is Still
aFighting Chance for the Democrats.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April AT 1910
this morning the returns from all over
the State were not in, owing to the
tedious counting necessary under the
Australian system. The returns at
hand indicate that there is no election
for State officers with probability OF
Republical plurality.
The State law requires a majority
vote TO elect, and there are sufficient
number OF Republicans returned up TO
this hour to insure the election OF Sem
ator Aldrich to the United States Sen
ate and the choice OF the Republican
candidates for State officers.
Newport probably elects but one rep
resentative and it will require another
election to determine the choice for the
other four.
Il requires fifty-four members OF the
Legislature to elect on joint ballot and
the Republicans have at present fifty
one, with every probability OF having
elected six more. The city OF Provi-
dence went Democratic by about 400
majority, but the assembly ticket is in
doubt.
Pawtucket was carried by the Demo-
Gratis by about 100 majority and Woon-
socket by lettle less. The Democratic
Assembly ticket in Woonsocket is elect
ed by about 80, but the Pawtucket
Assembly ticket is in doubt.
The vote polled was the largest In the
history of the State. The result is
surprise to everybody, and shows that
there are several thousand people in the
State whom the party managers never
located.

The Vote at Newport.

NEWPORT, K. l., April 6.-The State
election in this city has been hot fight,
and indications point to the election of
the full Democratic legislative ticket.
One ward is yet to be heard from,
which probably will not change the re-
suit. The vote poled has been very
large, and the ward rooms have been
centres Of excitement all day.
This eliminated in the Fifth ward,
where the Republicans claim that a
Democratic supervisor, who is also pres
ident Of the Common Council, violated
the ballot law by giving unsolicited as
siStance to voters.
The Republicans propose brinIng a
criminal suit against president and
supervisor Boyle and perhaps the
warden OF the ward as well, and also to
appeal to the Supreme Court and con-
test the seats of members OF the Legis-
lature elected here.
There was serious row over the elec-
tion in jamestown, eliminating In a
personal assault by Republican Repre-
sentative j. B. Banders upon DR..
Holland, a Democrat, which necessi-
tates the attendance of physician and
may result seriously.

An Explosion of Powder Wrecks Burn
ing Building and Cuts of the Escape of
It's Occupants.
Fr. MADISON, Wis, April Ga
frightiul calamity occurred last night In
the west end of this city, by which nine
people lost their lives. At 1884 Santa
Fe avenue stood a two-story building
owned by S. V. Kitchen. The upper
story was used as a dwelling by the
owner and the lower occupied by the
general store and meat market OF Nc
Intosh e Pease.
At 1l:45 .. m. the building was dis
covered on fire. The alarm was given
and the fire department turned out.
About two minutes after the fire was
discovered terrific explosion shook the
building, and the flames burst ont
furiously. II is supposed some kegs Of
powder stored in the building exploded
and destroyed the narrow stairs leading
inside the building from the second
story, and thus shutting out all hope OF
escape.
The fire burned very rapidly. The
nearest hydrant was four blocks distant
and before connections conld be made
the building was doomed. No cries
were heard from those in the building
and they all perished in the flames.
They were:
S. V. Kitchen, aged 81; Mrs. S. V.
Kitchen, aged 30; three children aged /,
3 and years: Miss Sidney Day, sister
Of Mrs. Kitchen, aged IS; August Kne-
meyer. boarder, aged Il; Harry Kne-
meyer, boarder, aged is; Samuel
Kitchen, brother of the owner, aged 90.

CHARLESTON, w. v, April 6.-About
$50 this morning the body of a man was
found lying on Hall street just under an
open window of the Hotel Ruffner
The remains were taken charge OF i'm
mediately by the proper authorities and
upon examination it was found that he was

A fine gold watch with the initials ~. j.
G. W. engraved on the case was also
found among his effects, also pair of gold
buttons bearing the same initials, together
with $500 in money
About = o'clock this afternoon Justice
Hall received the following telegram from
Mrs. j. J. G.. Webster:
'Wire particulars of death and Identified
tion. Will send undertaken on 4 o'clock
train.n
The cOroner's Jury rendered verdict to
the effect that deceased came 10 his death
by falling out of the third story window Of
the hotel and breaking his neck.
Webster had taken his supper in his
room, and when found in the street was in
his night clothes, the body being cold. His
nose was mashed, as though he had
fallen on his face. The gener-
ally accepted theory is that Webster
committed suicide, while some think he
may have been i'll and gotten up and sat in
the window, thus falling out, while others
think he may have been a somnambulist.
A former Baltimorean said he believed the
gentleman was no other than the minister
of the wealthy Independent Methodist
Church of Baltimore. and the same Web
ster who was conducting a revival at
Alexandria, Va, week or so since,
and was charged by one Of the
young ladies of the Alexandria congrega-
tion with seduction, and who when accused
of his misconduct admitted it was true,
and pleaded in explanation of his act that
the girl had walked into his room in the
night full account of which was pub
lished in the REGISTERS Associated Press
dispatch at the time.

THE DEFINING INQUEST.
Further Evidence 10 show that He MUIR
dered Miss Mather.

MELBOURNE, April 6.-The inquest
into TIE death OF Mrs. Deeming. who, II
Is charged, was killed by her husband
and buried under coating OF cement
beneath the floor OF her h. .se at Wind
sor, a suburb of Melbourne, was con-
tinued in the city court room to-day.
An immense crowd was present, and
every word OF the testimony was eager
ly listened 10.
The bearing of Deeming was insolent
throughout the proceedings, and he
continually interposed remarks while
the witnesses were testifying. He con-
ferred freely with the persons who sat
near him, and seemed in no way dis
mayed at the evidence that was piling
up against him. No one here but be-
lieves that he is the most diaoollcal
wretch ever known. A large number
OF newspaper correspondents attend the
inquest, and long reports OF the pro-
ceedings are telegraphed and cabled In
every direction.
The first witness called to-day was
Mrs. Atkinson, who lives in the house
next TO the one occupied by the Deem
ings at Windsor. She testified TO hear
ing man and woman quarreling in the
Deeming house at about the time the
murder is supposed to have been COM
United. Other evidence was given
showing that Deeming had sold guam
tity OF effects known TO have belonged
TO his wife. One witness, an ironmong-
er, said that he had bought a pan and
spade from Deeming on both Of which
articles quantity OF cement had dried.
Kate Rounceville. the fiancee OF Deeming
after he had murdered his wife here. and
who would probably have met the same
fate but for his opportune arrest, as prepa-
rations were under way for her marriage
TO him in Western Australia, gave her test
imony to-day. She is resident OF Sydney.
She said she had met Deeming on steam
er while going from Melbourne 10 Sydney.
He had accosted her in friendly manner,
and with the usual absence Of social re-
strictions that prevails among fellow trav-
ellers she had entered into conversation
with him.
Hetreated her with gentlemanly courtesy
and she became very much interested in
him. He had impressed her with the be-
lief that he was an individual OF some con-
sequence. He told her that he was Baron
Swanston. This, by the way, is the title
he assumed while he was in the Southern
Cross gold field, and signed 10 letter he
sent TO the managers of Frazer's gold mine,
demanding part of his salary that he
claimed was due him. He gave her dia-
mond ring. which she has since learned be-
longed TO the murdered woman.
Since his arrest, Deeming has requested
her 10 return the ring to him so that he
might sell il, and with the proceeds help de-
fray the costs OF his defence. She had de-
clined TO surrender it TO him as she believed
he was guilty of the murder OF his wife.
Shortly after Deeming had given her the
ring, she promised TO join him in Western
Australia where it was arranged that they
should be married. She was almost upon
the point OF starting for Perth when she
learned Of Deeming's arrest on the charge
OF murder.

BOLD FRENCH ANARCHISTS.
They Explod Dynamite Bombs In the
Buildings Occupied by the Police De-
partment at Maine Et-Loire

parIment at malne-Et-LO1re.
PARIS, April Notwithstanding the
extra precautions to prevent any fur
ther repetitions of dynamite explosions,
the Anarchists do not seem to find much
trouble in pursuing their nefarious work
whenever they are SO disposed. The
latest scene OF their activity is Anglers,
capital of the department Of Maine-Et-
Loire. The city is the seat of numer-
Gus industries and as consequence the
Anarchist theories find many supporters
among the working classes.
The police here, as elsewhere in
France, have been instructed 10 search
out and arrest everyone who is believed
TO be implicated in any attempt to use
dynamite unlawfully, and they have
carried out their orders to the letter.
But in searching the city and watching
suspicious characters, they appear to
have neglected proper precautions to
guard against an explosion at their
own headXuarters.
The Anarchists learned of the fact
and determined to take advantage Of it.
Accordingly at an early hour last night
a dynamite bomb was quietly placed
under window sill of the police depot,
the fuse lighted and the Anarchists
withdrew. Everything was quiet in
the police department and the vicinity,
when suddenly there was fash and
tremendous roar that caused momentary
CONSERVATION in the neighborhood.
Every pane of glass in the windows
OF the police department and the ada
cent houses was shatteaed and the de-
pot itself was quite badly damaged.
One policeman in the building was in
jured. There is absolutely no clue TO
the perpetrators of the outrage.

CUNNINGHAM AnRAIeNED.
The President of Kanawha's County Court
Before the Circuit Court.
Spsei0y Tslsorarn 10 the Reoistsr.


CHARLESTON, w. VA, April 6.-Colonel
Cunningham, president of the County
Court, who was charged Oy the Repu blican
sheriff with habitual drunkenness, was
brought before Judge Guthrie, Of the Cir
cult Court, to-day. Thee was adjourned
till April %, w. +. Chiffon and S. G. Bur
dett appearing for the prosecution, and
Senator Price and j. Z. Brown and others
for the defense.
When the case was ordered continued the
prosecution moved Cunningham's suspen-
sion from Office and introduced County
Commissioner Laidley to prove the neces-
sity Of his suspension.
Laidley's evidence went to show that
Cunningham was very efficient officer,
and he was not suspended. This is first
blood for the County Court against the
sheriff. The County Court fellows are
about TO turn guns on the sheriff in the
shape of suits for illegal interest collected.
Itis pretty local Republican fight as it
stands. and the Democrats are watching it
with interest.
