DENVER, Col, Nov. AT midnight
both sides are claiming the state,
though with few figures to back their
claims. Chairman Griffith of the re-
publican state central committee claims
that returns SO far received indicate a
majority of 1000 for the republican
ticket. Chairman Arbuckle of the free
coinage democratic committee, on the
contrary, claims the state by several
Thousand. II. II. Eddy, republican
candidate for congress in the second
district, is probably beaten by Bell, the

it is close fight between Coe rep and

MISSOURI.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. e.-The feature
of the election in Kansas City was the
alleged disfranchisement of republican
voters by the democratic recorder
of voters, who failed to have their
names placed on the poll books. Great
excitement prevailed all day, but no
trouble occurred.

WISCONSIN.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 9.-The cam
paig1~-of 1892 closed with the largest
vote ever polled within the city. a
corresponding increase is reported
throughout the state, and $500 is
the estimate Of the total vote cast. The
prohibition and peoples parties cut a
very insignificant figure in this cleo
tion.
At midnight scarcely half the re-
turns had been received, but every
thing indicates sweeping democratic
majority in the state. Cleveland so far
has the better of Harrison, and
Spooner, republican, for governor is
running away ahead of the ticket.
Often (rep.) for congress is running
well against Mitchell. At present the
city and county are running neck and
neck for both parties with slight favor
for the democrats. No definite sum-
mary, however, can be obtained for
several hours yet, and the returns from
the state are coming in very slowly.
The streets are thronged at midnight
and the bulletins from throughout the
country are being received with up
roarious enthusiasm.

Bold Attempt to Destroy the Allen Coun-

Populist Meeting.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 7.-Satur-
day night the janitor discovered the

fire, and the woodwork must have
caught in moment more. as it is OF
pine and very dry. AS the room had
not been used for hours and had no
light in it, and half. burned match.

is no doubt that the intention was to
burn the court house.
Mayor Sollinger has offered $500 re-
ward, and to-day another reward OF
$1,000 additional will be offered. The
ballots for the county election were
stored Immediately under the court
room, and the door leading thereto
was not locked last night, the first
time in years, the object being, it is
thought, to burn the ballots, to inter-
fere with the coming election. How
ever, it is evident the real object was
to destroy the county records, which
are in evidence OF the shortage Of ey-

1t Was Simply an Attempt to Destroy
the Ballots.

FoRT WAYNE. Ind. Nov. THE
story Of an attempt to burn the court
house 20 destroy the records of the
shortage Of Mr. Mower is untrue.
Mower has been out of Office two
years and the only controversy about
the Office was road orders amounting
to $3.50 which he paid two years ago.
The fire was started during the meel-
ing of the populists in the courthouse
and was an attempt to destroy the bal
lots stored near by and which could not
be replaced in time for election.

Believe vennum Is Innocent.

NEW HAVEN, Dec 15.-There is much indignation among the students over the arrest of Thomas Gaylord Vennum, the Yale freshma, non a charge of theft. Nennum boards at the residence of w. G. Anderson, assistant manager at the gymnasium. A few days ago MT Anderson missed some valuable jewelry together with some money. He has in his house eight students and their rooms were searched yesterday by the police. In one of the drawers of Vennum's bureau was found all the stolen property intact. None of it had been disposed of. The police, the students, and even MT An derson, himself, scout the idea that the young man Is guilty. The evidence, on the face of it, however, rendered his arrest imperative. When arrested Ven mum was dumbfounded and by his very actions showed that he is an inno- cent man. This is what the police say. He is of very wealthy family and has always had more money than he knew what to do with and he would have no earthly reason for such an act. The police are after a very suspicious per son. It is said around the campus that there is damning evidence agalnst one party that he stole the goods and placed them in Vennum's room.

Where to Buy Presents.

The large and well equipped establish ment of the Upson Jewelry Go, ap- breaches nearer to the Metropolitan idea than any store of the kind in the Nauga- tuck valley. Their stock is rich, varied and extensive, but owing to the lack of window display,it must really be review ed inside to be appreciated. The firm is a reliable one, and any customers desiring diamonds or other engagement rings, or wedding present, if they do not find what they want in stock may safely entrust the order to the Upson Jewelry Go, to be filled. In fact they execute a large amount of just such business, just as well and better than the custom CTS themselves could do it in New York and at less cost. Their holiday stock IS now ready for inspection, and they esteem it a pleasure to show goods, whether visitors are ready to purchase or not.

Chief of Police in Trouble

WILLIMANTIC, Dec 15.-A sensation was caused this morning when it was learned that Chief of Police Newell was arrested, charged with the murderous assault on Robert Sullivan, the young man who now lies in critical condition as result of injuries received in free fight at the road house of Ida Thomas, early yesterday morning. Newell it appears was at the house at the time of the row, and assisted the "bouncer" Charles Topliff in putting the men out. It is claimed that it was the chief who assaulted Sullivan. Newell was ar rested early this morning. Sullivan is still unconscious and is in a critical condition. Drs Belden and Smith, who are attending him, state that his re- covery is very doubtful, but there is a possibility that he may live. One eye is so terribly cut that he has lost the sight of it.

President Mcleod May Arrange . Link
 Between the Reading and Wabash.
 President Mcleod has accomplished SO much in this combination of the Reading and Jersey Central systems, and promises SO much in his later com bination of these with the Boston & Maine and the New York & New Eng land systems, that "the field" is wonder ing what he will do next. One sur mise is that he will arrange a link be- tween the Reading and the Wabash sys- tems, making 8 new and independent trunk line to the west. One method suggested requires the building of a 400 mile link at cost of $5, ,0O0, 900, and another requires the building of 130 miles, and the utilization of the Wheel ing 6 Lake Erie road.
 The Consolidated road has begun a survey for a new route to pass around Bridgeport instead of going to the enor- nous expense of building an elevated structure on the present route through the business section of the city. It will be necessary to tunnel the high hill on which the hospital is located. All pas senger trains will run over the new route if it is built, and the present tracks will be used for freights.

The Toothless Tortolse.

Very few people know that neither a turtle nor a tortoise nor toad is pro vided with teeth, remarks an exchange. There is a general superstition that a turtle can bite off a mans finger, but Its jaws are very strong, and the horny membrane that runs around the jaw, where in other animals teeth are found, Is so hard and tough that the turtle can crush the bones of the hand to pulp, but as for biting off even a finger the feat is, to the turtle, an impossibility.

serenaded by rwerty Thousand Swallows.

The swallow nuisance continues with unabated vigor at the Naval academy, Annapolis. From eight thousand to twenty thousand swallows gather every evening in the five or six maple trees in front of the superintendent's residence and make evening and morning hideous with their cries. All efforts to drive them away have failed, and bell and gong are kept going at intervals to drive the pests from the two trees next the supcrintcndent's house. Every year from the 10th of July to October this disagrecable rendezvous is maintained by the swallows.
